语 篇 提 能阅读理解aif you are going on a visit to the united states, the following may be helpful.most people shake hands and look at each others eyes when they meet people for the first time. among very good friends, a woman may give another woman a little hug; a man may kiss a woman quickly on one side of her face. men dont usually hug one another; instead they shake hands with the right hand. sometimes they use the left hand to cover the handshake or lightly hold the other persons arm. this shows greater warmth and friendship.there are two common ways to ask someone to come over to you. sometimes, people raise an index finger (食指) and then bend and straighten it quickly. other times, they raise a hand and curl (卷曲) the fingers quickly towards themselves. both ways are polite. to call a waiter, people just raise one index finger to head level or above.it is common for people to use the hand and index finger to express their feelings. in the united states, if mothers are angry with children, they may shake an index finger at them. people may show that they like children by gently touching their head.in business and social situations, its important to look each other directly in the eye. if you dont, people will probably think that you are not interested. and in these kinds of situations, periods of silence make most people uncomfortable.while people are talking or standing together, they usually stand about one arms length away from each other.语篇解读本文是说明文，文章主要介绍了美国人人际交往中常用的一些身体语言。1if an american man meets another man whos his close friend, he is most likely to _.a. give the friend a quick hugb. kiss the friend quickly on his facec. cover their handshake with his left handd. shake hands and give the friend a big hug答案与解析c细节理解题。根据第二段的“sometimes they . persons arm. this shows greater warmth and friendship”可知，当与关系近的朋友握手时，可以再用左手盖住已经紧握的手。2if you talk with an american businessman, he may _.a. try to stay close to youb. try to keep the talk goingc. move his hand to mean “no”d. avoid looking at you directly答案与解析b推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的最后一句可知，美国人不习惯交谈过程中出现沉默。如果出现了沉默，他们很可能会主动找话说，避免冷场的尴尬。3what would be the best title for the text?a. communication in americab. good manners in social situationsc. the importance of the index fingerd. body language in the united states答案与解析d标题归纳题。本文介绍了美国人际交往中常用的身体语言。d项准确地概括了文意。bfashion has always been about change creating a reason for the customer to buy something new. the next 30 years of the sale will be all about the customers interests. and it will be up to traders to keep up with their every desire (需求). “the easiest thing to say is, it will be different，” says nordstrom, president of one of america s oldest department stores. “there still will be customers who desire a fresh new product. what that product is, how we satisfy the customer, thats_open.”in many ways, this “different” world that nordstrom describes has already existed in stores across the usa, with technology as the driving force. think digital (数字的) fitting rooms, where technology simulates (模拟) body type and gives shoppers a sense of how a coat might look or fit. or 3d printers that allow shoppers to make products in their own homes. even smartphone technology is being developed to let traders get a shoppers personal data to learn about their tastes and interests.stores will still have a presence, but mainly just to let customers have a sensory experience touching and feeling items they can buy from far away and having them shipped. where customers shop, increasingly, wont matter. a person could shop from home, from a car or even on the subway.intel has designed a mirror that shows shoppers how clothes look on them avoiding the inconvenience of a fitting room. when the shopper of the future is ready to cheek out, a cellphone will do. “the cash registers (收银机) of today wont exist anymore，” nordstrom says. “we see the future of point of sale as completely mobile, but dont expect stores filled with robots rather than salesmen.”语篇解读本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了未来可能的购物模式。4what does the underlined part in paragraph 1 mean?a. its not a secret.b. it is not so clear.c. we dont know what to do.d. we havent discussed it yet.答案与解析b句意理解题。根据第一段的“and it will be up to traders to keep up with their every desire”可知，画线部分的句意为：仍然会有顾客想要全新的东西，但是那些产品是什么，我们又怎样去满足消费者，尚不清楚，故选b。5the author explains the existence of the different world in paragraph 2 by _.a. presenting research findingsb. making comparisonsc. giving instructionsd. using examples答案与解析d写作手法题。第二段首句为本段的主题句，接着作者列举
