21、Body language or, as it is also known, nonverbal communication, is about all the things that people say and do without using words. Research suggests that more than 70% of communication occurs without people having to say a single word.
Like language, the way we communicate nonverbally varies across cultures. But, unlike language, it can be very difficult to find out what the nonverbal rules are.
It’s very well-known that there are differences in the ways that cultures work, but what can you do to try to prepare yourself for living and surviving in another culture?
I think you’ve got two things to think about. I personally don’t fully accept the idea of “When in Rome, do as the Romans do. ” I don’t think people expect you to completely adopt all of the things that they do. What I think people would like is that you agree and understand it and that you do your best.
One of the things you can do is actually to explain to the other culture, saying, “Well, you know, actually we don’t normally kiss in my culture, so it’s a bit uncomfortable.” But then do your best, so it’s a learning process.
Well, kissing is just one of many different ways of interaction that you need to know. You can get into difficult or embarrassing or even worse situations if you don’t know it. Eye contact, tone of voice, how close you stand, any touching, how many times you kiss, a long handshake, a short handshake, it can go on and on. So I think, yes, you do need to get these correct and you need to have good observation skills.
【1】From the passage, it can be inferred that ________.
A．only grownups have body language
B．body language can be understood by all the people all the time
C．only the same body language has the same meaning all over the world
D．body language varies from culture to culture
【2】The passage is mainly to tell readers ________.
A．body language is important
B．to find out the rules of body language
C．when in Rome, do as the Romans do
D．to learn good observation skills
【3】According to the author, we know that ________.
A．to learn body language, you should watch people and observe what they do
B．to learn a language, you should prepare yourself for living in another culture
C．when you learn a language, you must know the differences of different cultures
D．to know body language, you should adopt all that other cultures do
22、How to Deal with Being Indoors During an Earthquake
Would you know what to do if you are indoors during an earthquake?【1】
Stay indoors.Do not move outside.Many modern buildings made of RCC (Reinforced Cement Concrete) are designed to withstand moderate earthquakes and are actually quite safe.【2】 Going outside is dangerous when people get injured from things falling off the building or other buildings.【3】 Drop before the earthquake drops you.Use the “Drop,Cover and Hold” method—drop onto the ground,take cover under a strong and sturdy object and cover your head with your hands and arms.Hold onto whatever you might be underneath,because if it starts to move,you’ll want to make sure that you’re moving with it.
Get under something heavy.【4】 If possible,get under something heavy like a desk or table.Cover your head.Get down low and make sure that you are protected from things that might be falling in your home.
Find other supports if you cannot shelter under something.If you’re not able to get under a table or other forms of protection,get next to an interior wall.Make yourself as small as possible.Cover your head and protect yourself while the shaking is going on.
Stay in bed if you are there already.If an earthquake starts while you are in bed,the best thing is to stay there.Cover your head and neck with your pillow and ride out the shaking.【5】 It has been reported that people who get out of bed during an earthquake are more likely to be injured as they may step on broken glass.
A．Drop onto the ground.
B．Find a heavy desk quickly.
C．Earthquakes lead to many disasters.
D．Do not get out of bed until the shaking stops.
E．This simple how-to will bring you up to speed quickly.
F．It is unlikely that you will be able to walk during an earthquake.
G．Steps and lifts are actually more dangerous than staying indoors.
23、A year ago when I was traveling alone in Guatemala I broke my back. I was surrounded by many kind strangers that day. 【1】 One of them I had met once in Mexico and the other I had just met the day before. We were planning on traveling to the next village together, but before we left, we decided to jump on one of those big Blob Bouncy Bags on the lake.
【2】 I missed my target. An ambulance took me to a hospital. They both got car sick pretty bad, but still offered to come to support and translate for me.
When we got to the hospital, they helped me get through it. 【3】 So every time I needed to update my parents, they had to go somewhere else with my phone to text them.
The ambulance employers wanted me to pay in cash. I didn’t have that much cash and the ATMs there never worked for my cards. 【4】 I felt terrible about borrowing that much money from them. But when I asked them to write down their bank details, they simply told me to text them later when I was out of the hospital.
They stayed with me for hours. But even after they left, they stayed in touch asking me how I was and how everything was going—even a year later. I may have been unlucky for breaking my back, but I was so lucky for the people there when it happened. 【5】
A．So they offered to pay for me.
B．And this where it went wrong.
C．There was no WiFi at the emergency department.
D．I actually look back at it as a heartbroken experience.
E．I am still grateful for the fact that I’ve met those two guys.
F．For me, there is one in particular that I’ll always remember.
G．But there are two guys that will always have a place in my heart.
24、A Swedish man was dug out alive after being snowed in his car on a forest track for two months with no food, police and local media reported on Saturday.
The 45-year-old from southern Sweden was found on Friday, February17, too weak to say more than a few words.
He was found not far from the city of Umea in the north of Sweden by snowmobilers who thought they had come across a ruined car until they dug their way to a window and saw movement inside.
The man, who was lying in the back seat in a sleeping bag, said he had been in the car since December 19.
“Just incredible that he’s alive considering that he had no food, but also since it’s been really cold for some time after Christmas,” a rescue team member told regional daily Vasterbottens- Kuriren, which broke the news. Ebbe Nyberg, duty officer at the Umea police, said police saw no reason to doubt that the man had been stuck in the car for a very long time.
“We would not make up something like this. The rescue services were on site too and saw the same as us.” he told Vasterbottens-Kuriren.Umea University Hospital, where the man is recovering after being rescued by police and a rescue team, said in a statement he was doing well considering the circumstances.
Doctors at the hospital said humans would normally be able to survive for about four weeks without food. Besides eating snow, the man probably survived by going into a dormant-like(休眠似的) state, physician Stefan Branth told Vasterbottens-Kuriren.
“A bit like a bear that hibernates. Humans can do that.” he said. “He probably had a body temperature of around 31 degrees which the body adjusted to. Due to the low temperature, not much energy was used up.”
“Why the man ended up under the snow in the forest remains unknown,” police said.
【1】Who found the Swedish man in the snow?
A.Snowmobilers. B.The police.
C.A rescue team. D.Local people.
【2】“Police saw no reason to doubt that the man had been stuck in the car for a very long time.”

B. police were sure of the fact
C.police had some doubt on the fact
D. police had reasons to doubt the fact
【3】The reason why the man could survive was most probably that______.
A.he was only forty-five years old
B. he slept in the sleeping bag
C. he was in a dormant-like state
D.he did not use any energy
【4】Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

25、We love letters. Just as John Donne, a poet, ________ it, “Letters, to me and my friends mean more than greetings; they get souls together. Thanks to letters, friends who are ________ speak.” He wrote these words nearly 400 years ago. Today, in the age of instant text message, social media, and email, they still ring truer than ever, because writing or receiving a letter has become such a ________ event.
A UK-wide survey undertaken by Sunday Times suggests that one in four of us has not ________ a letter for at least 10 years. That’s ten years without the bitter-sweet pleasure of pacing the floor waiting for the postman; ten years without recognizing the handwriting on the envelope and eagerly ________ the letter to read its content.
We may not get them any more, but we still love handwritten letters. In the same survey, one third of ________ people interviewed say that they ________ the content of sentimental (充满情感的) letters. Shouldn’t we make ________ to give our friends and families what they will treasure forever? Ann Bickley went online in 2013 and offered to handwrite a letter to anyone who ________ her. Her website received 50,000 ________ in its first three months. Five years later, she is still the main ________ behind one-million-lovely-letter.com and has personally written 4,000 letters offering hope and ________ to strangers.
The thought behind a letter ________ as much as its contents. “I never tell anyone that ________ is going to be OK,” Ann Bickley says, “I am letting someone know that there is someone in the world who ________ them.”
Who wouldn’t love to receive a letter like that? Let’s get writing!
