【題目】 When you speak to foreigners, what will you do if you can’t understand their languages? Will you use your body language to help you, or just say sorry to them and then go away? Learning spoken language is very important, but learning local gestures (手勢) is also very necessary.
I often use gestures to communicate with someone whose language I don’t know. We use our hands to talk with each other. Although we don’t understand the other’s words, our hand movements make our conversation more necessary.
However, gestures aren’t always clear. Different gestures may have different meanings in different countries and cultures.
In many countries, people move their hands at someone to call him to come near. In the United States, people usually move hands at someone with their palms (手掌) up and sometimes move just one finger. But in many countries in Asia, hand movements like that would be impolite. In Asia, many people move hands at someone with their palms down using all fingers.
Do you use your thumb, your thick short finger to make gestures? In western countries, “thumbs-up” means agreement. But it is very rude in parts of Africa.
If you want to say “OK” in America, you can make a circle (圓) with the thumb and the second finger. But in France, it means “zero”, and it is very rude in many other countries.
You can use your second finger to point at something but not at somebody in the United States. However, in some parts of Europe, Asia and Africa, pointing at something with one’s second finger is not polite.
“V” form is often used when people take photos. But using two fingers to make up the “V” shape means “peace” in the West.
The last example is that people in parts of Asia point to their noses to mean themselves, but people in western countries usually point to their chests.
Gestures are important, but also have different meanings.
【1】The writer begins with the questions in order to________.
A.tell a storyB.solve some problems

A.pointing one finger at someone in the United States is sometimes allowedB.using “thumbs-up” as your body language is very rude in parts of Africa
C.making a circle with the thumb and the next finger means “0” in AmericaD.using two fingers to make up the “V” shape means “success” in the West.
【4】The best title of this passage can be “_______”.
A.Work hard to Learn Different Cultures around the WorldB.Talk to Other People with Spoken Language Successfully C.Different Gestures Are Difficult to Understand and Learn
D.Making Sure Your Gestures Are Saying What You Want to Say
【答案】

【4】D
【解析】
當(dāng)你和外國人說話時,如果你聽不懂他們的語言,你會怎么做?你會用你的肢體語言來幫助你,還是只是向他們道歉然后離開?學(xué)習(xí)口語很重要,但是學(xué)習(xí)本地手勢也是非常必要的。手勢相同,但是它們也有不同的意思。
【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。作者以問題來開始文章,主要是吸引讀者的注意。故選C。
【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)“In the United States, people usually move hands at someone with their palms (手掌) up and sometimes move just one finger.”,可知在美國叫一個人靠近的時候,可以只移動一個手指。故選A。
【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的句子“In western countries, “thumbs-up” means agreement. But it is very rude in parts of Africa.”,可知在非洲的部分地區(qū),豎起大拇指是非常不禮貌的。符合原文題意,故選B。
【4】主旨?xì)w納題。本文主要講了同一個手勢,但它們有不同的意思,使用合適手勢來表達(dá)自己想說的話。選項(xiàng)D概括了本文,故選D。

【題目】 Many young people all over the world love to travel and see the world. Have you heard of backpackers? They are normally young people who travel cheaply with just one rucksack(背包) and comfortable walking boots. They buy local food in supermarkets to save money and at the same time become friends with local people.
Some people prefer adventure tours. Brave people may try bungee jumping from the bridge overlooking the Victoria Falls in Africa with only a rope around their legs. Some enjoy the challenge of rock climbing in the Alps in Switzerland. Others may go snowboarding in the Rocky
Mountains in the USA.
Have you ever heard of an ecotourism ? It means a holiday in which people come close to nature but are very careful not to damage the nature beauty or living things in the area. How can this be possible? Let's read an interview with people who enjoyed a swimming with dolphins tour.
Interviewer: what was the most exciting part ofyour holiday?
Sharon from South Africa: I felt excited when I heard the sound of wild dolphins approaching me in the water and then swimming directly under me. An image I will never forget.
Xavier from Portugal :There were two dolphins below us swimming downwards. One stopped and looked back at me as if to say 'What are those strange beings?" Fantastic!
Interviewer: Did you feel that your holiday helped local people and areas to keep their beautifulenvironment?
Jane from New Zealand :The hotel and the whale and dolphin watching companies employ(雇傭) local people. They used to hunt those whales and dolphins, but now they can earn money from tourism and don't have to kill them. Not many boats are allowed at the same time so these animals aren't bothered. The boat companies also work to educate the local schools about the importance of protecting these wonderful creatures.
Helen from England: I am glad they are not killing the whales and dolphins any more, but the cars and boats use fuel which could cause pollution and make the sea less clean.
Well, what do you think? Thousands of people visit the Forbidden City or the Great Wall China every year. Do you think that's a good thing, or do you feel that China's important historical sites can be damaged? Are there any ways of sharing your treasures but keeping them in good condition?
