It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean while words only express 7 percent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying.Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever comes your way. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show youre unhappy.Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are a monitor in class, you can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously. However, to be friendly in listening or speaking, you must move your head a little.Legs. Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still.Posture (姿势).A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling down you normally dont sit straight, with your shoulders inwards. This makes breathing more difficult, which can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.Mouth. When you are thinking, you often purse your lips. You might also use this position to hold back an angry comment you dont wish to show. However, it will probably still be noticed, and people will know youre not pleasedFace. When you lie, you might put on a false face. But that expression would crack briefly, allowing displays of true emotions such as happiness, sadness, disgust（厌恶）and fear to come through.21. When someone is keeping his arms behind his back, he tries to tell you that .A. he is not afraid B. he is outgoing C. he is angryD. he is cool22.

The more I did these tasks, the more disconnected I felt from the seniors. Though I felt bad for them, I did not want to interact with them.Then one rainy day, I met Colonel Hemsworth. He invited me to his table and asked for some company. I regarded this as another boring task. However, when I listened to his stories, I learned that he was a brilliant war veteran（老兵），and I found his tales interesting.After my brief talk with the Colonel, I realized that I shared common characters with all the seniors. I felt like an oxygen molecule（分子）-ready to form a relationshiprather than an isolated gas.I met with many learned senior citizens who shared their experiences and wisdom. No longer did I walk aimlessly down the hallways. I found myself enjoying talking with these people as I learned their histories. Why hadnt I realized sooner that volunteer work could enlighten me?Some people argue that volunteering and working for change does not help. However, they fail to realize that the world is constantly changing and humans must adapt My experience at Weyrich Health Center has taught me that refusing to change ones views and accept new ones leads to short-term goals that finally disappear. Communication with others is an important part of life. Volunteering is not just a requirement or a way to improve your resume, it is a time for service and personal growth.Now I enjoy volunteering my time surrounded by seniors who bring history alive for me. By communicating with them, I have developed into a more dynamic person.28. Whats the authors initial（最初的）attitude towards volunteering?A. PositiveB. Satisfied.C. Doubtful.D. Unwilling.29. Why did Colonel Hems worth invite the author to his table?A. He liked the author very much.B. He wanted the author to accompany（防伴）him.C. He wanted to work with the author.D. He planned to teach the author something.30. What can we infer from the underlined sentence in Para.4?A. The author had desire to communicate with the seniors.B. the author wanted to do a chemical experiment with gas.C. The author imagined himself to be part of isolated gas.D. The author would like to be an oxygen molecule.31. What does the sixth paragraph mainly tell us?A. Other peoples attitude towards volunteering.B. The importance of communicating with others.C. The important meaning of humans adapting to changes.D. The lessons the author has learned from volunteering.DClimate change has been blamed for killer hurricanes, sea level rise, and drought, but a new report suggests the effects of climate change might hit the worlds coffee supply. Up to 70 percent of the worlds coffee supply could be threatened over the next 66 years, according to a new study by researchers at Englands Royal Botanic Gardens.Nearly 100 percent of the worlds Arabica coffee growing regions could become unsuitable for the plant by 2080, according to the study. Beans from Arabica coffee plants account for about 70 percent of the worlds coffee, but the plant also has to be grown under strict weather conditions: they grow well at temperatures between 64 and 70 degrees Celsius, and are highly influenced by frost（霜）or temperatures higher than 73 degrees Celsius.With temperatures estimated to increase by between 1.8 and 4 degrees Celsius by the end of the century, the fragile plant might become increasingly expensive and difficult to grow, especially in places such as Ethiopia and Kenya. In that worst case, nearly all of the worlds native Arabica coffee would die out. Under more conservative（保守的）estimates, about 65 percent of the regions used to grow the coffee would become unsuitable for it The evidence from coffee farmers and coffee growing regions around the world is that they are already suffering from the influences of increased warming.Some farmers would likely be able to move their operations to other areas or would be able to overcome climate change with artificial（人工的）cooling techniques, but wild Arabica is generally considered to be much more suitable for making high-quality coffee.If Arabica becomes impossible to raise in its native areas, it could do serious damage to the economies of the mainly third-world countries in which it grows. Coffee is the worlds most popular drink and is the second most-traded product in the world, behind oil.32. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Climate change affects people in many ways.B. More and more attention has been paid to climate change.C. The worlds coffee supply could be threatened by climate change.D. The growing conditions of Arabica coffee have been improved recently.33. What can be learned from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?A. According to the study, by 2080 nowhere can be suitable for Arabica coffee growing.B. 65 percent of the worlds coffee gets raw materials from Arabica coffee plants.C. Arabica coffee plants will grow well at temperatures lower than 60 degrees Celsius.D. Coffee farmers are the biggest victims of climate change.34. In order to solve the problem of Arabica, coffee plants, some farmers .A. would make efforts to produce high-quality coffee.B. would bring in artificial cooling techniques.C. would tend to move to some warm places.D. would grow more wild Arabica.35. What is the result if Arabica coffee has less production?A. Coffee will replace oil to be the first most-traded commodity.B. Coffee is likely to become less popular than before.C. Some countries will suffer great economic losses.D. Farmers will plant other crops instead of coffee.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。The last thing you want is a bad grade on a paper that took a lot of hard work and time. 36 To be successful in school, you have to make sure you know what assignments youre supposed to complete.
