专题04 earthquakes第一节阅读理解阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的a、b、c和d项中选出最佳选项。the meaning of silence varies among cultural groups.silences may be thoughtful，or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say.a silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness，or worry.silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable；therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙) with conversation.persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a persons needs.many native americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional chinese and thai persons do.therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing.in these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power.for example, russian, french, and spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion.however, mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her.in still another use, persons in asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect，particularly to an elder or a person in authority.nurses and other caregivers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing.nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patients silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily.a nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了沉默在不同文化里的具体含义。沉默有时表示思考，有时表示无话可说不同的文化，人们对沉默有不同的理解。沉默也可以用在医院中，它还有治疗功效呢。1 what does the author say about silence in conversations?ait implies anger.bit promotes friendship.cit is culturespecific.dit is contentbased.答案：c2which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?athe chinese.bthe french.cthe mexicans.dthe russians.解析：细节理解题。根据第二段中的many native americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating.just as some traditional chinese and thai persons do.以及.silence is a call for reflection.可知，许多美国本土人、一些传统的中国人以及泰国人都把沉默看作是仔细思考的象征，故选a项，a call for reflection与a call for careful thought是同义表达，大家做题时要学会锁定关键词。根据第三段中的.russian，french，and spanish persons may use silence to show agreement.可知，法国人和俄罗斯人用沉默表示同意，故b、d两项错误；由第三段中的.mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority.可知，墨西哥人在权威人士给出指示，但心里不赞同时，他们会选择保持沉默，故排除c项。答案：a3what does the author advise nurses to do about silence?alet it continue as the patient pleases.bbreak it while treating patients.cevaluate its harm to patients.dmake use of its healing effects.答案：d4what may be the best title for the text?asound and silencebwhat it means to be silentcsilence to native americansdspeech is silver；silence is gold解析：标题归纳题。整篇文章都在说，沉默在不同的文化和领域具有不同的含义，这与b项(沉默的含义)的表述相符。a项中的sound没有提到；c项只是文章一个方面的内容；d项“雄辩是银，沉默是金”强调了沉默的价值，与文章内容不符，故错误。答案：b第二节七选五根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。with the development of

curious about sth.对某事感到好奇，符合语境。答案：b7解析：此处与16空前的“this friendly grouse”照应。答案：c8解析：句意：我们很快就喜欢上这只鸟儿了，决定给它取名叫mildred。be/become/grow fond of sth./sb.喜欢某物/某人。答案：c9解析：句意：汤姆假装没有看到它，继续干手里的活，看看它接下来会做什么。根据情景可知汤姆明明是看到它了，可是为了达到某种目的而假装没看到，所以答案为d项。答案：d10解析：句意：很显然，它并不愿意自己被忽视(ignored)。从接下来它的行动可以推断出它不愿意汤姆忽视它，为了引起汤姆的注意它开始啄汤姆的手，所以答案为a项。答案：a11解析：它啄了一下汤姆的手，接着往后退，想看看他会做什么。根据情景可知这只鸟儿会往后退，所以答案为b项。答案：b12解析：这只松鸡反反复复做这样的动作好像是在做游戏，所以填game。答案：a13解析：句意：随着春天的离去，夏季的来临，mildred开始出来的次数越来越多了。答案：b14解析：句意：终于mildred无拘无束地都敢跳到汤姆的腿上了。经过这么长时间的相处和试探，mildred终于迈出了重要的一步，所以答案为a项。答案：a答案：c16解析：由上文7空所在句子中的“she got more comfortable”和14空后的“mildred felt comfortable”可知选a。答案：a17解析：根据情景可知，打猎的季节到来了，为了不让猎人们朝这只鸟儿射击，我们放置了一个标志牌。答案：b18解析：我们的标牌上当然是请求这些猎人们(hunters)不要射杀我们的宠物松鸡。答案：c19解析：看到我们这么做，住在路那头的父亲也(also)告诫人们不要射杀它。答案：d20解析：句意：事实上，猎人们会停下来和它拍照，因为他们从来没见过像它这样的鸟。答案：a
