Part I Reading Comprehension (30%) Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choi Nonverbal (非语言的) communication has to do with gestures, movements and closeness of two people when they are talking. The scientists say that those gestures, movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry. For example, the body distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, while the South American often considers the North American to be "cold" or "distant" because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to . The "eye contact" provides another example of what we are calling nonverbal communication. Scientists have observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who don’’t like each other. The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about. On the other hand, too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable. The eyes apparently play a great part in nonverbal communication. Genuine warmth or interest, shyness or confidence can often be seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness. Someone who is always smiling, and with little apparent reasons, often makes us uneasy. 1. According to the passage, nonverbal communication_________. A is a method often used by people who cannot speak B can tell something that words cannot C can be used to talk with people who cannot bear D is less used than words 答案:B 本题主要考查的是考生对文章定义的理解把握。即第一段“Nonverbal(非语言的)communication has to do with gestures，movements and closeness of two people when they are talking．The scientists say that those gestures，movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry．”A、C、D选项不符合题意，文章中找不到依据。只有B选项是根据以上划线部分直接选出的。 2. The South American_________. A tends to keep a distance between himself and the person he is speaking to B usually stands close to the person he is talking to C is often unfriendly when spoken to D is often cold and distant when speaking 答案:B 本题主要考查的是考生对细节的把握。文章的第二段讲道South American的部分，“North Americans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking，”我们可以看出，“北美人抱怨南美人不友好”，但事实上并不是南美人不友好。因此C选项不符合题意。“南美人和人谈话的时候总和对方站的很近”，因此B选项正确。A、D选项是混淆选项，实际是北美人的特点。 3. Which of the following is NOT true? A Less eye contact suggests distance in relation. B The longer one looks at you, the more interest he has in you. C There is more eye contact between people who like each other. D Shorter eye contact shows more interest in what one is talking about. 答案:D 本题考查的是考生对文章重点句子的把握。“Scientists have observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who don’t like each other．”彼此喜欢的人之间的眼神交流远比彼此之间没有好感的人要多。因此我们可以推出选项c是正确的。“The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about．”你说话对方看你眼睛的时间长短可以表示出他对你说话感兴趣的程度。因此，A、B选项都是正确的。D选项错误，越短的眼神交流说明对说话人越感兴趣，明显是与原文不符的。 4. Too long a-gaze_________. A may upset people being looked at B shows one’s great confidence C indicates one’s interest in the talk D tells you how friendly one is 答案:A 本题考查的是考生对具体细节的理解。“too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable”长时间盯着别人看会让人很不安。因此选项应该是A。B、C、D选项文章中均未提到。 5. Constant smiling without apparent reason_________. A is a sign of one’s friendliness B is a sign of one’s unfriendliness C makes people feel happy D makes people feel uncomfortable 答案:D 本题考查的也是考生对具体细节的理解。“Someone who is always smiling，and with little apparent reasons，often makes us uneasy．”如果一个人老是笑，而且是没有具体原因，这也会使人感到很不安。因此D选项正确。其余不符合题意。 Today, cigarette smoking is a common habit. About forty-three percent of the adult men and thirty-one percent of the adult women in the United States smoke cigarettes regularly. It is encouraging to see that millions of people have given up smoking. It is a fact that men as a group smoke more than women. Among both men and women the age group with the highest proportion of smokers is 24-44. Income, education, and occupation all play a part in determining a person’’s smoking habit. City people smoke more than people living on farms. Well-educated men with high incomes are less likely to smoke cigarettes than men with fewer years of schooling and lower incomes. On the other hand, if a well-educated man with a higher income smoked at all, he is likely to smoke more packs of cigarettes per day. The situation is somewhat different for women. There are slightly more smokers among women with higher family income and higher education than among the lower income and lower educational groups. These more highly educated women tend to smoke more heavily. Among teenagers the picture is similar. There are fewer teenaged smokers from upper-income, well-educated families, and fewer from families living in farm areas. Children are most likely to start smoking if one or both of their parents smoke. 6. What do we know from the first paragraph ?
