A
There are four main areas when it comes to your dog’s body language—his ears and face, eyes, nose and tail. If you pay attention to those things, you’ll find you are able to easily understand how your dog is feeling.
Ears and face
　　The head of a dog is more expressive than you think. If you say a word that he recognises, like his name or something you often say, his ears will get up. His mouth is another good instruction. A mouth that is wide open to pant(喘气) with some sounds suggests that the dog is happy—some people even say when a dog is panting, he is laughing as he cools himself. A tongue sticking out suggests that the dog is in a good mood.
　　Eyes
To a dog, purple and blue are both seen as shades of blue. Red is seen as black or dark gray. Orange, yellow and green are seen as various shades of yellow. This means that, to a dog, bright orange toys are yellow. If you want your dog to clearly see his toys in the green grass, you’d better give the dog blue toys; if you have orange, yellow or green toys, the dog will be able to find them with his nose.
Nose
A dog can both sniff and breathe through his nose. Breathing is for air, but when dogs sniff with short breaths they are actually following some smells with their keen(灵敏的) noses. When a dog is overheated, his sense of smell is reduced by as much as 40 percent and he uses the air to cool himself rather than for smelling.
Tail
A dog that is in a good mood will have a tail that seems to be going a mile a minute—wagging and excited. However, an angry or frightened dog will have his tail between his legs.
1. What is the author’s purpose of writing the first paragraph?
A. To advise you to look after your dog.
B. To introduce the topic of the text.
C. To explain what is body language.
D. To call on people to protect dogs.
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中“There are four main areas when it comes to your dog’s body language—his ears and face, eyes, nose and tail.”以及下文各个小标题可知,第一段起到介绍本文话题的作用。
答案:B
2. What will your dog NOT do when he feels happy?
A. His ears get up.
B. He opens his mouth to breathe with some sounds.
C. He keeps his tongue sticking out.
D. His tail wags quickly.
解析:细节理解题。根据小标题Ears and face下面的“If you say a word that he recognises, like his name or something you often say, his ears will get up.”可知,耳朵竖起来是听到了他能听懂的词语时的表现,而不是高兴的表现。
答案:A
3. Why does your dog use his nose when looking for orange, yellow or green toys in the grass?
A. He wants to show how keen his nose is.
B. His nose is keener than his eyes in the open air.
C. He can’t tell the difference between toys and grass.
D. These colours are all shades of yellow in his eyes.
解析:细节理解题。根据小标题Eyes下面的“Orange, yellow and green are seen as various shades of yellow.”可知,这些颜色在狗看来都是不同色度的黄色,所以他要靠嗅觉去找,故选D项。
答案:D
B
　　When you are in another country, it is important to know the language, but it is equally important to know how to communicate non-verbally. Before saying anything, people communicate non-verbally or by making gestures. According to an investigation, only 30 to 35 percent of our communication is verbal. When people don’t know the language, the most common way to communicate is through gestures. However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.
In the United States, for example, nodding your head up and down means “yes”. In some parts of Greece and Türkiye, however, this motion can mean “no”. In Southeast Asia, it is a polite way of saying “I’ve heard you.”
　　In ancient Rome, when the emperor wanted to spare(赦免) someone’s life, he would put his thumb up. Today in the United States, when someone puts his/her thumb up, it means “Everything is all right.” However, in Sardinia and Greece, the gesture is insulting(侮辱的) and should not be used there.
　　In the United States, raising your clasped(握紧的) hand above your head means “I’m the champion.” or “I’m the winner.” It is the sign that prizefighters make when they win a fight. When a leading Russian statesman made this gesture after a White House meeting, Americans misunderstood and thought he meant he was a winner. In Russia, however, it is a sign of friendship.
　　There are other non-verbal signals that you should be aware of when you go to another country, such as the distance to maintain between speakers. Americans stand closer to each other than English people. English people don’t like touching somebody or being touched. Now in America, touch is important. Friends touch each other on the arm, for example. They often put an arm around a friend when they say “Hello” or “Goodbye”.
4. What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A. Knowing the language of a country isn’t important.
B. Much of our communication is non-verbal.
C. Gestures are less used in communication.
D. All gestures have different meanings.
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段中“According to an investigation, only 30 to 35 percent of our communication is verbal.”可推知交流中很多是非语言的。
答案:B
5. What does it mean if a native in Singapore nods his head up and down?　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
A. Yes. B. No.
C. I’ve heard you. D. That’s all right.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中“In Southeast Asia, it is a polite way of saying ‘I’ve heard you.’”可知答案。
答案:C
6. What did the Russian leader mean by putting up his clasped hand?
A. He meant to insult America.
B. He meant to show friendship.
C. He meant Russia was the winner.
D. He meant the US was the winner.
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When a leading Russian statesman made this gesture ... it is a sign of friendship.”可知答案。
答案:B
7. What should you do when you are talking to English people?
A. Touch them on the arm.
B. Touch them on the shoulder.
C. Put an arm around them.
D. Keep a certain distance from them.
解析:细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Americans stand closer to each other than English people.”可知,当你和英国人谈话时需要保持一定距离。
答案:D
C
Teenagers Earning Money
　　In the United States, you can only get a full-time job if you are 16 years old or older. But there are things that teenagers can do to earn some spending money. Here are a few ideas.
　　Parents with young children sometimes want to go out for dinner or to the movies, but they don’t want to leave their children alone. 8. If the children go to bed early, you can do some of your homework!
Some adults have a dog, but they don’t have time to take it for a walk. Dogs need a lot of exercise! So some teenagers work as dog walkers. It’s a good idea—you earn money and you’re outside in the fresh air. 9.
　　Teenagers can deliver newspapers. You usually ride a bike around a neighbourhood and leave a newspaper at each house. 10. You have to get up early, too, because people want to read their newspaper with their breakfast.
11. Some companies pay teens to do online research. They want to know what teens are interested in. It’s a fun and easy way to make money. You can also design web pages for friends or adults.
　　Sometimes adults pay teenagers to mow(修整) their lawns. It’s a great job because you get fresh air and exercise. 12. Then you have regular customers, because grass always grows!

A. You get some exercise, too!
B. It brings a lot of safety problems.
C. So, they ask a teenager to look after them.
D. It’s important to tell an adult where you’re going.
E. Teenagers can work at home on their computers.
F. Normally you need to have your own bicycle.
G. Do your job carefully and people will want you to do it again.

答案:C
9. 解析:根据上文“Dogs need a lot of exercise!”可知,狗需要许多锻炼,而你在遛狗的同时也得到了锻炼,故选A项。

Ⅳ. 阅读理解
　　Apart from our tongue, in my point of view, eyes are another kind of language we use to express ourselves. Through one’s eyes, we can read sorrow, happiness, encouragement, and many other emotions. Eyes are always one of the fastest and most direct organs to reveal your thoughts.
Until now, I still remember an unforgettable experience, which happened when I took part in a singing contest at the age of nine. It was the power of my mother’s eyes that encouraged me to go for it. I had shown great interest in singing before that, but I was too shy to sing in the public. So one day my mother took me to sign up for the singing contest. With my mother’s company and encouragement, I was determined to meet that challenge. Standing on the stage, I suddenly found I had become the focus of all the eyes. I got so nervous that I couldn’t even keep my eyes open. When it was my turn to be introduced to the audience and sing, I became even more nervous. I felt my legs were shaking and my memory seemed to have left me, as I couldn’t remember anything. Searching for help, I met my mother’s eyes which were sparkling with encouragement and strong power. It seemed that they were speaking to me, “Come on!Baby!Take it easy. I’ll always be with you!” I read the message through her eyes and at that moment I got my confidence back and began to sing my song. When I came down from the stage, she came up to me, saying, “Great!I’m proud of you!” and gave me a big hug. At that time, I found her eyes filled with tears of joy. Sometimes, you see, just the encouraging eyes themselves can make a shy person brave.
1. What does the author mean to do by telling her unforgettable experience?
A. To prove the author’s view that eyes are another kind of language we use to express ourselves.
B. To prove that eyes are very important parts of our bodies.
C. To let us share her unforgettable experience.
D. To tell us how she became brave.
解析:细节理解题。文章第一段提出作者对眼睛的观点,第二段通过描述自己的亲身经历来证明自己的观点。
答案:A　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
2. What did the mother think of the author’s performance?
A. Poor. B. Not good.
C. Splendid. D. Hopeful.
解析:推理判断题。根据比赛结束后作者妈妈的称赞、拥抱以及喜悦的泪水可以判断,作者的妈妈认为她的表演很不错。splendid意为“极好的”,符合句意。
答案:C
3. What’s the best title of the text?
A. My Unforgettable Experience
B. Eyes
C. A Singing Contest
D. Confidence and Success
解析:标题归纳题。全文贯穿了一个主题,那就是眼睛。文章开头点出作者对眼睛的观点,然后通过事例说明自己的观点,最后一句话又点明观点,首尾呼应,主题明确。因此B项最恰当,其他几个选项都比较片面。
答案:B
