本文是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了嘴唇如何表达情绪、对触摸和温度的敏感性以及咬嘴唇等行为背后的意义，向读者普及了关于嘴唇与情绪之间关系的知识。1．Whatdoesparagraph2mainlytalkabout?A．Kindsofwaystoexpressemotions．B．Lipfeaturesofsomeoneinbadmoods．C．Examplesoflipsinemotionexpression．D．Principlesofthechangesinlipstates．√C

[段落大意题。根据文章第二段中的“Insomecases，people'slipsturnredtoexpresstheycan'tcontroltheiremotion．Additionally，peoplemaynotsayanythingbutunwillinglyacceptsomethingwiththecornersoftheirmouthpointeddownward．”可知，第二段通过具体的例子，如嘴唇变红、嘴角向下等，展现了嘴唇是如何生动地表达情绪的。故选C。]2．Whatcanweinferaboutourlipsaccordingtothetext?A．Theycanescapeoutsideeffects．B．Theyreflectthenegativeemotionsonly．C．Theyarerichinsomecolors．D．Theyareaffectedbymoodsimmediately．√D

[推理判断题。根据文章第三段第二句及最后一段第一句可知，当人体感受到情绪上的舒适或不适时，会实时表现出来，而嘴唇可以帮助我们理解他人可能正在挣扎。由此可知，我们的嘴唇会立即受到情绪的影响。故选D。]3．Whyarepeopletakingcertainmedicineoftenmisread?A．Becauseoftheirfacialexpressions．B．Becauseoftheirunusualconfidence．C．Becauseoftheirawkwardness．D．Becauseoftheirmovements．√A

[细节理解题。根据文章第四段最后三句“压力也会导致嘴唇动作笨拙，或微笑看起来紧张或勉强。某些药物也可能导致类似的情况。不幸的是，这些行为可能会被误解，让人认为某人不太可靠或缺乏自信。”可知，服用某些药物的人的行为会被误解是因为他们的面部表情。故选A。]4．Whatdoestheauthorimplyinthelastparagraph?A．Turningtoabookhelpsreducestress．B．Expressingone'semotionsisimportant．C．Understandingmoodsneedsseveralways．D．Discoveringhiddenemotionsisdifficult．√C

[推理判断题。根据文章最后一段作者提到我们往往关注眼睛、面部等来表达情绪，但不应忽视嘴唇，因为它们更可能显露内心隐藏的情绪。这暗示了理解情绪并非只通过单一途径，而是需要综合考虑多个方面，包括嘴唇的变化。故选C。]BTieanItalian'shandsbehindhisbackandhe'llbespeechless，whichisanoldjokeintheUS．However，SusanGoldin-Meadow，authorofthebookThinking

本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种身体语言co-speechgesture及其用途。5．WhatdoesSusanGoldin-Meadowreallywanttotellusinparagraph2?A．LadyDianaisprobablyanemotionalwoman．B．Italiansareverytalkativeandgesturetoomuch．C．Itisunnaturalfortheblindtogesturetoeachother．D．Co-speechgesturesareusedbyallofusunknowingly．√D

[推理判断题。根据第二段中举的三个例子“会议口译员在他们的小房间里做手势；天生失明的人在说话时也会做出手势；在电视剧《王冠》中，戴安娜王妃被警告说，她的手可能会暴露出她的真实情绪，必须把它们绑在一起，这样她才能学会不用手势说话。”可推断，SusanGoldin-Meadow认为这种co-speechgesture是下意识的，而且所有人都会用。故选D。]6．Whatcanwesayaboutsignlanguages?A．Theyareasabstractasco-speechgestures．B．Theyareusuallylearnedbyhumanbeingsnaturally．C．Theyhavedistinctlystructuredwordsandgrammar．D．Theyvaryfromculturetocultureandpersontoperson．√C

[细节理解题。根据第三段最后两句“co-speechgesture也不是手语。手语有明确定义的单词和语法，并且像口语一样因地而异。”可知，手语有明确的单词和语法。故选C。]7．Whatdoestheauthorsuggestteachersdointhepassage?A．Putenoughtrustinstudents．B．Encouragestudentstotellthetruth．C．Observetheco-speechgesturescarefully．D．Teachasmanytrickyproblemsaspossible．√C

[推理判断题。根据第四段的例子“例如，鼓励教师自己使用手势，并观察学生的手势。一些在棘手的数学问题上失败的学生可能会做出一种暗示，表明他们马上就能弄懂它；他们应该与那些手势表明他们自己非常茫然的人区别开来教。”可推断，作者会建议教师细致地观察学生的手势，来确定学生是否真正理解而更好地教学。故选C。]8．Whatisthemainideaofthispassage?A．Co-speechgesturesplayavitalpartincommunication．B．Symbolicgesturesdiffergreatlyfromco-speechgestures．C．Co-speechgesturesaremoredifficultthansignlanguages．D．Symbolicgestureshavegreatpotentialforpracticalapplications．√A

[主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段最后两句“Co-speechgesturing不仅仅是关于缺乏约束的。它也是关于思想和交流的，对两者都有帮助。”可知，本文主要是说明co-speechgesture在交流中的重要作用。所以A项“Co-speechgestures是交流的重要组成部分”符合语境。故选A。]Ⅱ．应用文写作(满分15分)假定你是李华，你的笔友John参加了学校的文化俱乐部，最近他们正在做一个不同文化中身体语言异同的项目，他写信向你了解中国一些典型的身体语言，请你给他回一封信，内容包括：1．感谢来信；2．介绍1～2种中国典型的身体语言。注意：1．词数80个左右；2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。DearJohn，_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Yourssincerely，LiHua【参考范文】DearJohn，I'mgladtoreceiveyourletter，inwhichyoutoldmethatyourclubisdoingaprojectaboutbodylanguage．Bodylanguagevariesfromculturetoculture．InWesternculture，it'sperfectlynormaltohugsomeonewhengreeting．ButChinesepeoplecannotacceptsuchcloseness．Itmaybeconsideredveryrude．Wearealsotaughtnottostareatstrangersforlongasitshowsdisrespectandaggression．Thelistisendless．Butthereisagoldenruleinourculture:treatsomeonethewayyouwanttobetreated．Hopeyou'llfindituseful．Yourssincerely，LiHuaⅢ．读后续写(满分25分)阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。“IfMumfindsoutthatI'mgoingtothebeach，I'llbeinbigtrouble．”Imuttered(嘀咕)tomyselfsoftly．Iwalkedslowlyandsilentlydownthestairsandtriedtowalkcasuallyintothekitchen．AsIwaswalkingtowardsthebackdoor，Mumaskedwithoutlookingupfromherdishwashing，“Whereareyougoing？”Iansweredwithouthesitation，“I'mgoingtothegardentoplay．”AfterIgotoutofthekitchen，Ibreathedasighofrelief．Myplanhadworkedoutfinesofar．Iclimbedoverthefenceandjumpedontothemuddyfieldnexttomyhouseandstartedrunningtowardsthebusstopattopspeed．Afterhalfanhour，IwasatthebeachscanningthecrowdformyfriendsJimmyandBobby．Twoyoungmenwereracingintheirboats．Afterawhile，Ispottedmyfriendsnearacoconuttree．Irantowardsthemand
