参考答案UNIT4单元提能强化练Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明白计算机理解人类肢体语言的具体步骤。1.C细微环节理解题。依据其次段中的“So,softwarefirsthastorecognisetheshapeofahumanbodyandthenmapoutthekeypointsofourbody.”可知,要让计算机理解人类的肢体语言,最重要的是软件。故选C项。2.D推理推断题。依据第三段“Butunderstandingthatanimagecontains..esprettyeasily.”以及第四段“Butcomputersneedtoseeaton...sameorsimilarstancewiththatemotion.”可知,因为肘部、膝盖或一张脸的图像对计算机理解人类肢体语言并没有多大好处,所以计算机关注可以传达心情的脸(面部表情)和手(肢体语言)。因此,把心情被分为肢体语言和面部表情是为了让计算机识别它们背后的意义。故选D项。3.B词义揣测题。依据画线词所在的上下文“Butcomputers...sameorsimilarstancewiththatemotion.”可知,计算机识别的是特定肢体语言背后的意义;通过越来越多肢体语言的例子,计算机可以识别出那种肢体语言心情状况下相同或相像的意思。故画线词意思是“意义”。故选B项。4.A主旨大意题。依据第一段“Gettingcomputerstounderstand...whatyourbodylanguageissaying.”并结合全文内容可知,本文主要说明白计算机理解人类肢体语言的具体步骤。A项“计算机是如何识别肢体语言的”最符合本文大意。故选A项。【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了LaGomera岛上的口哨语SilboGomero。5.B细微环节理解题。依据第三段中的“Itstartedtodieoutwhenthetelephonearrivedandtheislandwasopentotourism.”可知,现代技术的到来是SilboGomero面临消亡的缘由。故选B项。6.C细微环节理解题。依据其次段中的“ItsoundslikebirdsongandwasdevelopedthousandsofyearsagobyislanderstoenablethemtocommunicateuptotwomilesacrossLaGomera’svalleys.”可知,SilboGomero被独创出来是为了进行远距离沟通。故选C项。7.A细微环节理解题。依据其次段中的“TheCanaryIslandsgovernmentisprovidingfundingtohelpschoolchildrenonLaGomeratolearnthisancientwhistlinglanguageaspartoftheirheritage.”可知,为了挽救SilboGomero,当地政府供应了财政救济。故选A项。8.D推理推断题。依据第一段中的“SilboGomeroisanancientlanguageofwhistlethatenabledpeopletocommunicateacrosslongdistancesbeforetheinventionofthetelephoneorthecomputer.”以及文章内容可知,本文写作的目的是介绍LaGomera岛上面临消亡的口哨语SilboGomero。故选D项。Ⅱ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。在疫情期间,社交距离极大地变更了我们在非语言沟通方面的方式。对此文章给出了快速阅读肢体语言的建议。1.G上文“Wearingafacemaskhasquicklybecomethenorm—andthatwilllikelyremainfortheforeseeablefuture.”说明人们戴口罩时脸会被隐藏一半。下文“Howcanwebetterreadbodylanguage,nowthatwe’rewearingmasks?”说明,在脸被隐藏的状况下,我们照旧要辨别人们所想。G项“但是,由于隐藏了近一半的脸,因此很难辨别出一个人的想法和感受”承上启下,符合语境。故选G项。2.E依据上文“Toooften,weputallourfocusonpeople’sfaces,whenweshouldalsobeobservingthemovementsoftheirentireupperbodies.”可知,在视察不到脸的同时,我们应留意视察人们的肢体语言,通过肢体语言来解读人们的心理。E项“肢体语言是一个人心情状况的外在反映”承接上文。故选E项。3.B依据上文“Ifpeoplearetouchingtheir‘neckdimple’(thevisibleindentationatthemiddle-frontoftheirneck),itcouldmeanthey’redistressedorinsecure.”可知,一个人在感到焦虑或担心时会摸颈项的凹陷处。B项中的“this”指代触摸这个部位,而“尝试劝慰他们或缓解他们的焦虑”是对此提出的建议,符合语境。故选B项。4.A依据下文“Ifsomeoneisrubbingtheupperpartoftheirchestwithapalmofahand(orevenjustthefingers),itcanindicatediscomfortorconcern.”可知,本段落承接上段内容,介绍的是压力和焦虑的另一个迹象以及相应的建议。故选A项。5.F依据上文“Headmovementscan...displaysawarenessandattentiveness.”可知,上文说的是人们在专注时的头部动作。F项“当与一些点头结合时,它可以表示对所说或听到的内容的赞同”符合语境。故选F项。Ⅲ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者某次去看牙医,去之前已经预约了,到了那里却发觉牙医什么都没打算。作者很生气,但牙医却始终对作者微笑,这让作者很内疚,也让作者感受到了微笑的力气。1.Bfriend挚友;stranger生疏人;patient病人;relative亲戚。依据下文所提到的故事可知,此处指微笑能打破生疏人之间的隔阂。2.Dinterview采访;operation手术;experiment试验;appointment约定,约会。作者要去看病,所以应当是同医生提前有预约。3.Cconclude得出结论;approve赞同,支持;ensure确保;apply申请,应用。依据空前提到的“confirmedittwice”可知,作者确认了两次,所以打电话目的是确保一切打算好。4.Bcrowded拥挤的;ready打算好的;open开着的;busy劳碌的。依据后文,医生根本不知道作者在说什么,所以应当是一切没打算好。5.Dmildly温顺地;roughly粗鲁地;privately隐私地;immediately马上,立刻。事情出乎了作者的意料,因此应当是作者马上就生气了。6.Bhabit习惯;way方式;accent腔调;tune语调。作者在前文中说“没有冲医生吼叫”,但是自己又的确生气了,由此可推想,作者说话的方式不好。7.Crude粗鲁的;attached附加的;friendly友好的;devoted忠诚的。依据空前的“shesmiled”可知,医生的看法始终很好,所以是对作者很友好。故选C项。8.Dfigure弄明白;add增加;make使,让;sort分类。依据上文提示,作者检查前,医生须要打算好照X光的材料,所以这里指一切都被分类整理好。9.Areflecton思索;workat从事;callat探望;gothrough阅读,通过。后文提到作者意识
