考点规范练21(Module 3).阅读理解In the early 1970s,David McNeill,a psychology professor at the University of Chicago,was giving a talk in a Paris lecture hall when something queer caught his eye.There was a woman in the back of the room moving her arms in a way that seemed to convey exactly what he was saying.It took him a moment to realize that she was speaking,too,and another to realize that she was an interpreter,translating his words into French.For McNeill,that moment of confusion made him realize that gesture and speech are not as separate as they seem.Gesture researchers have spent the past 40 years uncovering how movements are tied to speech.Regardless of their spoken language or culture,humans gesture when they talk.They gesture even if they have never seen gestures beforepeople who have been blind since birth do itand they gesture even if theyre talking to someone on the phone and know no one can see them.When speech is interrupted,so is gesture.In fact,gesture is so tightly bound to language that differences between languages show up as differences in gesture.In other words,the way you package your thoughts into speech is also how you package them into movement.Researchers are especially interested in the times when gestures dont match speech.The mismatch can be a valuable window to whats going on in the mind.For example,until about 7 years of age,children dont understand that if you pour a tall glass of water into a shorter,wider glass,the amount of water stays the same.They think the shorter glass contains less water.When asked to explain their reasoning,some children will say,“This one is shorter,”while gesturing that the glass is wider.That discrepancy(矛盾) shows they subconsciously grasp that both dimensions are important.When we speak,we put our thoughts into words,and when we gesture,we put our thoughts into our hands.But gestures dont just show what were thinkingthey actually help us think.Toddlers(初学走路的孩子) who are encouraged to gesture tend to start producing more words.Adults involved in various problem-solving tasks do better when they are encouraged to gesture.Putting ideas into motions brings us closer to grasping what we need to grasp.【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章解释了人们说话时为什么会做手势。1.Which can best replace the underlined word “queer” in Paragraph 1?A.Strange.B.Terrible.C.Boring.D.Funny.答案:A解析:词义猜测题。由下文那位女士做手势、讲话、翻译的情节及段末的“that moment of

thinkers可知要用被动语态。3.best解析:考查形容词比较等级。分析语境以及空前的定冠词the可知,此处要用形容词的最高级形式,表示“要去的最好的地方”。4.Equally解析:考查副词。此处是修饰整个句子,要用副词形式。5.probably解析:考查副词。此处是修饰动词choose,故用副词形式。6.but解析:考查连词。此处是not.but.“不是而是”句型。7.our解析:考查代词。根据空前的“we can use it to help us”可知应该是实现我们的目标,所以填our。8.to know解析:考查非谓语动词。此处表示“如果你正在努力拼搏,环顾你周围,看其他人是否和你有同样的目标”,to know做目的状语。9.with解析:考查介词。看其他人是否和你有同样的目标,应用介词with“拥有”。10.making解析:考查非谓语动词。本句的谓语是is,所以用动名词形式做主语。.短文改错Im a middle school student.I love English,and its hard for me.I make a plan to learn English the other
