When Marybeth Hearn was 10 years old, she asked her parents to let her train a dog to become a guide dog. It turned into a lifelong thing. Over more than fifty years, Hearn has raised 56 dogs to help visually impaired (视力受损的) people. But her influence doesn’t end there — the longtime high school teacher has encouraged several of her family members and some of her students to train many more.
When she looked to her parents for support years ago, things were different from what she expected. Her mom didn’t like dogs, and her dad doubted she would be able to find any money to pay for the cost of the training. However, Hearn presented the project at a Lions Club and raised $2, 500. So on a sunny summer day in 1962, the family drove home with a black Lab named Letta, the first of a long series of dog trainees.
Two sons and a granddaughter have followed in Hearn’s footsteps, but her greatest influence has come from guiding student trainers, who since 1992 have worked through a school club with 170 dogs that ended up in different service posts. They spend 14 months with each dog teaching them skills. The dogs live full-time with the students, attending their classes and field trips to become socialized.
The dogs then go to trainers employed by Guide Dogs for the Blind, an organization that partners with the program, before graduating and being paired with two-legged companions. Those that aren’t up to the difficult task of helping the blind can become other kinds of service animals. Often students attend the graduations and help pass the dogs on.
“I love seeing the look on kids’ faces ... when they get to see that dog again after three or four months and the dog remembers them,” Hearn said. “It’s a great feeling.”
4. What has Hearn done since she was a child
A. She has collected money for the blind.
B. She has trained dogs to help the blind.
C. She has petted and cared for many homeless dogs.
D. She has provided the blind with education for free.
5. What was the attitude of Hearn’s dad towards her plan
A. Mad. B. Uncaring. C. Unacceptable. D. Supportive.
6. If a dog fails to help the blind after graduation, it will _____.
A. continue to be trained
B. be taken away as a pet
C. live full-time with Hearn’s students
D. become another kind of service animal
7. Which of the following can best describe Hearn
A. Honest and hard-working.
B. Strong-minded and caring.
C. Outgoing and careful.
D. Strict and creative.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】

Over more than fifty years, Hearn has raised 56 dogs to help visually impaired (视力受损的) people. ( 当玛丽贝斯·赫恩10岁的时候,她请求父母让她训练一只狗成为导盲犬。这变成了一件终生的事情。在50多年的时间里,赫恩已经养了56只狗来帮助视障人士。)”可知,Hearn从小就开始帮助有视觉障碍的人群训练导盲犬。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“When she looked to her parents for support years ago, things were different from what she expected. Her mom didn’t like dogs, and her dad doubted she would be able to find any money to pay for the cost of the training. ( 几年前,当她向父母寻求支持时,情况与她所期望的不同。她的妈妈不喜欢狗,她的爸爸怀疑她是否能找到钱来支付训练的费用。)”可知,她的父亲最初对她的计划表示怀疑,不接受。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Those that aren’t up to the difficult task of helping the blind can become other kinds of service animals. (那些不能胜任帮助盲人这项艰巨任务的动物可以成为其他类型的服务性动物。)”可知,未通过考核的狗将成为其他类别的服务犬。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Over more than fifty years, Hearn has raised 56 dogs to help visually impaired (视力受损的) people. (在50多年的时间里,赫恩已经养了56只狗来帮助视障人士。)”和第二段的“When she looked to her parents for support years ago, things were different from what she expected.

( 几年前,当她向父母寻求支持时,情况与她所期望的不同。她的妈妈不喜欢狗,她的爸爸怀疑她是否能找到钱来支付训练的费用。然而,赫恩在一个狮子俱乐部展示了这个项目,并筹集了2500美元。)”以及第三段的“Two sons and a granddaughter have followed in Hearn’s footsteps, but her greatest influence has come from guiding student trainers ( 两个儿子和一个孙女都继承了赫恩的足迹,但她最大的影响来自于指导学生训练员)”可知,Marybeth Hearn从小立志训练导盲犬帮助盲人。当初虽未得到父母的支持,但是她凭借自己的努力寻求到了赞助。她的行为影响了周围的好多人。由此可知,Hearn是一个意志坚定、关心他人的人。故选B。

Modern research on body language — often called nonverbal behavior — began in the 1960s and 1970s with studies that aimed to demonstrate the universality (普遍性) of facial expressions of emotion. That work was inspired, in part, by Charles Darwin’s study “The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1872).” But it had received little attention for around a century, according to nonverbal communication expert David Matsumoto.
Then modern researchers examined how the brain reacts to facial expressions, and how babies copy facial and hand gestures. And scientists have also realized the complexity (复杂性) of body language.
Much research has suggested that body language is often hard to interpret, or understand. But for years some advisers and experts have been using their knowledge in many practical (实际的) areas.
“I help people influence and persuade others around how trustworthy and credible (可信的) their message is by helping them with their specific nonverbal communication,” said Mark Bowden. He is the author of “Winning Body Language”, a guide for readers including business people and famous people. He focuses on where a person faces their body and how much space they take up, as well as their gestures.
Some experts also say they can use those signals to interpret hidden emotions. Joe Navarro is the author of “What Every Body Is Saying.” It is a book about reading a person’s mind from their nonverbal behavior. It’s easy to spot a speaker’s lip movements when he faces a question he doesn’t like, Joe said.
While the work of these experts attracts large audiences, many scientists are unsure whether their methods are reliable. “Our facial expressions show certain types of emotional states,” Matsumoto said. So do some body movements. But “people do all kinds of things with their bodies,” he said. Your raised eyebrow (眉毛) could express doubt — but it might also signal discomfort or surprise. The same hand gesture could mean different things in different cultures, he said.
8. What role did Charles Darwin’s study play according to paragraph 1
A. It unlocked the secret of the human mind.
B. It promoted the development of human language.
C. It encouraged people to care more about animals.
D. It helped start modern research on body language.
9. What can we infer about Mark Bowden
A. He gives advice on business language.
B. He teaches people about body language.
C. He focuses mainly on facial expressions.
D. He pays more attention to spoken language.
10. What did David Matsumoto think of Joe Navarro’s methods
A. They were doubtful.
B. They were instructional.
C. They were necessary.
D. They were experimental.
11. What can be the best title for the text
A. Is nonverbal behavior that complex
B. Can body language tell important truths
C. Do experts know how to interpret emotions
D. Should you know more about body language
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于肢体语言的现代研究——通常被称为非语言行为,它始于20世纪60年代和70年代,旨在证明面部表情表达情感的普遍性,但是同样的肢体动作又可能会表达不同的意思。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Modern research on body language — often called nonverbal behavior — began in the 1960s and 1970s with studies that aimed to demonstrate the universality (普遍性) of facial expressions of emotion. That work was inspired, in part, by Charles Darwin’s study “The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1872).” (关于肢体语言的现代研究——通常被称为非语言行为——始于20世纪60年代和70年代,旨在证明面部表情表达情感的普遍性。这项工作的部分灵感来自查尔斯·达尔文的研究《人类和动物的情感表达》(1872))”可知,查尔斯·达尔文的研究帮助开启了对肢体语言的现代研究。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““I help people influence and persuade others around how trustworthy and credible (可信的) their message is by helping them with their specific nonverbal communication.” said Mark Bowden. He is the author of “Winning Body Language”, a guide for readers including business people and famous people. He focuses on where a person faces their body and how much space they take up, as well as those gestures.(“我帮助人们通过特定的非语言交流来影响和说服别人,让他们相信他们的信息是值得信赖和可信的。”Mark Bowden说。他是《成功的肢体语言》一书的作者。为商界人士、名人等读者提供指南。他关注的是一个人将身体面向何处,他们的身体占据了多少空间,以及那些手势)”可推知,Mark Bowden教授人们如何使用肢体语言。故选B。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“Some experts also say they can use those signals to interpret hidden emotions. Joe Navarro is the author of “What Every Body Is Saying.” It is a book about reading a person’s mind from their nonverbal behavior.(一些专家还表示,他们可以利用这些信号来解读隐藏的情绪。乔·纳瓦罗是《人人都在说什么》一书的作者。这是一本关于从一个人的非语言行为中读出一个人的思想的书。)”可知,Joe Navarro认为我们可以从一个人的非语言行为中读出一个人的思想。结合最后一段中的“While the work of these experts attracts large audiences many scientists are unsure whether their methods are reliable. “Our facial expressions show certain types of emotional states.” David Matsumoto said. So do some body movements. But “people do all kinds of things with their bodies,” he said. Your raised eyebrow (眉毛) could express doubt — but it might also signal discomfort or surprise. (虽然这些专家的工作吸引了大量观众,但许多科学家不确定他们的方法是否可靠。“我们的面部表情显示了某些类型的情绪状态。”David Matsumoto说。一些身体动作也是如此。但是“人们用身体做各种各样的事情,”他说。你扬起的眉毛可能表示怀疑,但也可能表示不舒服或惊讶。)”可推知,David Matsumoto认为Joe Navarro的方法令人怀疑。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Modern research on body language — often called nonverbal behavior — began in the 1960s and 1970s with studies that aimed to demonstrate the universality (普遍性) of facial expressions of emotion. (关于肢体语言的现代研究——通常被称为非语言行为——始于20世纪60年代和70年代,旨在证明面部表情表达情感的普遍性)”和最后一段中““But people do all kinds of things with their bodies.” he said. Your raised eyebrow (眉毛) could express doubt — but in might also signal discomfort or surprise. “The same hand gesture could mean different things in different cultures,” he said.(“但人们可以用身体做各种各样的事情。”他说。扬起眉毛可能表示怀疑,但也可能表示不舒服或惊讶。“同样的手势在不同的文化中可能有不同的含义,”他说)”可知,文章介绍了肢体语言的现代研究,面部表情表达情感存在普遍性,但是同样的肢体语言又可能会表达不同的意思。由此推知,本文探讨了我们是否能通过肢体语言了解一个人的真实情感,故“Can body language tell important truths (肢体语言能揭示重要的真相吗?)”是文章最佳标题。故选B。

【答案】32. successful
33. carried
34. in 35. gradually
36. seems 37. importance
38. spending
39. more valuable
40. as 41. it
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了研究发现与一些物质的东西相比,人们更注重家人。
【32题详解】
考查形容词。句意:我们大多数人把财富与成功的事业、大房子和昂贵的衣服联系在一起。修饰名词career用形容词,故填successful。
【33题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:然而,美国一家银行和经纪公司最近进行的一项研究显示,超过60%的受访者在日常生活中珍惜与家人在一起的时间。Study与carry之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,表示被动,用过去分词作后置定语,故填carried。
【34题详解】
考查介词。句意参考上题解析,表示“几分之几”用介词in,故填in。
【35题详解】
考查副词。句意:社会正在逐渐成为一个物质主义的地方,在那里,来自现代名人的信息似乎是时尚、国外度假以及昂贵的珠宝是非常重要的。修饰becoming用副词,故填gradually。
【36题详解】
考查主谓一致。句意参考上题解析,文章基础时态为一般现在时,主语是the message,谓语用第三人称单数,故填seems。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意参考上题解析,介词of后接名词作宾语,故填importance。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:然而,这项研究表明,许多人仍认为,无论种族、年龄和国籍如何,与花钱相比,诸如家庭和关系之类的东西重要得多。介词to后接动名词作宾语,故填spending。
【39题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意参考上题解析,much修饰形容比较级,故填more valuable。
【40题详解】
考查非限定性定语从句。句意:事实上,就像通常的情况一样,我们离开家去寻找财富,获得财富后我们就会回家并与家人一起分享。此处为非限定性定语从句,关系词位于句首,指代后面的内容,在从句中作主语,故填as。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意参考上题解析,此处指代前面提到的不可数名词fortune,故填it。
【点睛】As和which引导非限定性定语从句时,都可以指代主句的部分或整体内容,在从句中作主语、宾语或表语,但要注意as引导的从句可以放在主句前后,也可插入主句之中,而which引导的从句只能位于主句之后,例如本篇第9题,分析句子结构可知,此处为非限定性定语从句,关系词位于句首,指代后面的内容,在从句中作主语,故用as而不用which。
第四部分 基础知识 (共三节,满分35分)
第一节 单项选择题(共10小题,每小题1.5分,满分15分)
42. He can’t make himself _______. His spoken English really needs ________.
A. understand, improving B. understood, improving
C. understand, to improve D. understood, to improve
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:他无法让他自己被理解。他的英语口语真的需要提高。第一句的意思是让自己被别人理解,himself和understand之间是被动关系,用过去分词作宾语补足语;第二句用need doing结构,主动表示被动,动名词作宾语。故选B。
43. Don’t leave the water_______ while you brush your teeth.
A. run B. running
C. being run D. to run
【答案】B
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:当你在刷牙的时候,不要一直让水流着。leave sb/sth doing让某人/某物一直不停地做某事,leave使…处于某种状态。宾语water与run之间为主动关系,所以用现在分词作宾语补足语。故B正确。
【点睛】本题的leave指“使…处于某种状态”;在高中的学习近平时要多积累固定搭配的用法,考试时只能凭借记忆力来答题,尤其是单项选择很难推出某个搭配的意思,所以平时的积累记忆是尤其重要的。
44. Suddenly, a tall man driving a golden carriage ________ the girl and took her away, ________ into the woods.
A. seizing; disappeared B. seized; disappeared
C. seizing; disappearing D. seized; disappearing
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查句子结构分析。句意:突然,一个驾着金色马车的高个子男人抓住女孩,把她带走,消失在树林里。主语是a tall man,driving是现在分词作后置定语,所以后面缺谓语动词,且空格处与took是并列的谓语动词,故用seized,排除A、C;这个男人抓走了女孩,随后消失在树丛中。所以disappear是人消失在树丛中,是主动的,所以用disappearing表示伴随状态,排除 B。故答案为D。
45. After being ill I didn’t feel like ________but I managed ________ something down.
A. eating, to force B. to eat, to force C. eating, forcing D. to eat, forcing
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语。句意:生病后,我不想吃东西,但我设法强迫吃东西。分析句子可知,feel like后接动词要用动名词;而动词manage后接另一动词作宾语时,该动词要用不定式,manage to do表“设法做某事”,为固定搭配。故选A项
46. Having been ill in bed for nearly a month, he had a hard time __ the exam.
A. pass B. to pass
C. passed D. passing
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:由于卧病在床将近一个月之久,他非常艰难地通过了考试。have a hard time doing表示“做某事有困难”,故D项正确。
47. It is likely that you make your friends feel________ if you don’t know China’s table manners.
A. embarrass B. embarrassing C. embarrassment D. embarrassed
【答案】D
【解析】
【详解】考查词性和词义辨析。句意:如果你不了解中国的餐桌礼仪,你很可能会让你的朋友感到尴尬。A. embarrass v.(使)尴尬;B. embarrassing adj.使人尴尬的;C. embarrassment n.尴尬;D. embarrassed adj.感到尴尬的。空格处单词在句中作系动词feel后的表语,用形容词,表明其逻辑主语your friends的心理状语,用-ed形容词embarrassed,意为“感到尴尬的”。故选D项。
48. On March 30, 2020, the organizers including the International Olympic Committee announced Japan would postpone_________the 2020 Summer Olympic Games.
A. holding B. hold C. held D. to hold
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:2020年3月30日,包括国际奥委会在内的组织者宣布,日本将推迟举办2020年夏季奥运会。分析句子结构可知,此处为非谓语动词作宾语,根据postpone doing sth.可知,此处应使用动名词形式holding作宾语,且与句子主要之间为主动关系。故选A项。
49. People have been looking forward to ________ the 2024 Summer Olympic Games.
A. witness B. witnessed C. witnessing D. being witnessed
【答案】C
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:人们一直期待着见证2024年夏季奥运会。动词短语look forward to“盼望,期待”中to是介词,应用动名词作宾语。witness和主语之间不是被动关系,排除D项。故选C项。
50. The little girl showed no_______ before the competition. She seemed to have prepared for it very well.
A. anxiety B. anger C. sadness D. interest
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查名词词义辨析。句意:这个小女孩在比赛前没有表现出焦虑。她似乎准备得很充分。A. anxiety焦虑;B. anger愤怒;C. sadness伤心;D. interest兴趣。根据She seemed to have prepared for it very well.可知,她已经做好了准备,所以赛前没有表现出焦虑。故选A项。
51. I feel ________ of my action, which is a shame to me.
A. ashamed B. shame C. shameful D. shameless
【答案】A
【解析】
【详解】考查词义辨析和固定短语。句意:我为自己的行为感到羞愧,这对我来说是一种耻辱。A. ashamed羞愧的;B. shame羞耻;C. shameful可耻的,丢脸的;D. shameless没廉耻的。分析句子结构可知,此处应为形容词作表语,根据句意可知,此处表示主语“我”感到“羞愧的”,所以此处应使用ashamed,ashamed of意为“对……感到羞耻”。故选A项。
第二节 单词拼写(共10小题,每小题1分,满分10分)
请根据括号内的中文提示或者首字母写出单词的正确形式(请把单词完整地填写到答题卡规定区域)

57. People have a t________ to lean towards whatever they are interested in. (根据首字母单词拼写)
【答案】tendency##endency
【解析】

【答案】Dear Robert,
I am very glad to share with you something about body language in China.
In China, we wave our hands to say “hello” or “goodbye”. We usually greet our guests by shaking hands with them. Some people may nod and smile instead of shaking hands. Besides, like in many other countries, we nod our heads to say “yes” and shake our heads to say “no”. Also, people will hold their thumbs up to praise a person if he does something great. Sometimes, we bow to show great respect and thanks to others.
I hope this information will be helpful to you and look forward to your coming.
Yours,
Li Hua

When Marybeth Hearn was 10 years old, she asked her parents to let her train a dog to become a guide dog. It turned into a lifelong thing. Over more than fifty years, Hearn has raised 56 dogs to help visually impaired (视力受损的) people. But her influence doesn’t end there — the longtime high school teacher has encouraged several of her family members and some of her students to train many more.
When she looked to her parents for support years ago, things were different from what she expected. Her mom didn’t like dogs, and her dad doubted she would be able to find any money to pay for the cost of the training. However, Hearn presented the project at a Lions Club and raised $2, 500. So on a sunny summer day in 1962, the family drove home with a black Lab named Letta, the first of a long series of dog trainees.
Two sons and a granddaughter have followed in Hearn’s footsteps, but her greatest influence has come from guiding student trainers, who since 1992 have worked through a school club with 170 dogs that ended up in different service posts. They spend 14 months with each dog teaching them skills. The dogs live full-time with the students, attending their classes and field trips to become socialized.
The dogs then go to trainers employed by Guide Dogs for the Blind, an organization that partners with the program, before graduating and being paired with two-legged companions. Those that aren’t up to the difficult task of helping the blind can become other kinds of service animals. Often students attend the graduations and help pass the dogs on.
“I love seeing the look on kids’ faces ... when they get to see that dog again after three or four months and the dog remembers them,” Hearn said. “It’s a great feeling.”
4. What has Hearn done since she was a child
A. She has collected money for the blind.
B. She has trained dogs to help the blind.
C. She has petted and cared for many homeless dogs.
D. She has provided the blind with education for free.
5. What was the attitude of Hearn’s dad towards her plan
A. Mad. B. Uncaring. C. Unacceptable. D. Supportive.
6. If a dog fails to help the blind after graduation, it will _____.
A. continue to be trained
B. be taken away as a pet
C. live full-time with Hearn’s students
D. become another kind of service animal
7. Which of the following can best describe Hearn
A. Honest and hard-working.
B. Strong-minded and caring.
C. Outgoing and careful.
D. Strict and creative.
C
Modern research on body language — often called nonverbal behavior — began in the 1960s and 1970s with studies that aimed to demonstrate the universality (普遍性) of facial expressions of emotion. That work was inspired, in part, by Charles Darwin’s study “The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1872).” But it had received little attention for around a century, according to nonverbal communication expert David Matsumoto.
Then modern researchers examined how the brain reacts to facial expressions, and how babies copy facial and hand gestures. And scientists have also realized the complexity (复杂性) of body language.
Much research has suggested that body language is often hard to interpret, or understand. But for years some advisers and experts have been using their knowledge in many practical (实际的) areas.
“I help people influence and persuade others around how trustworthy and credible (可信的) their message is by helping them with their specific nonverbal communication,” said Mark Bowden. He is the author of “Winning Body Language”, a guide for readers including business people and famous people. He focuses on where a person faces their body and how much space they take up, as well as their gestures.
Some experts also say they can use those signals to interpret hidden emotions. Joe Navarro is the author of “What Every Body Is Saying.” It is a book about reading a person’s mind from their nonverbal behavior. It’s easy to spot a speaker’s lip movements when he faces a question he doesn’t like, Joe said.
While the work of these experts attracts large audiences, many scientists are unsure whether their methods are reliable. “Our facial expressions show certain types of emotional states,” Matsumoto said. So do some body movements. But “people do all kinds of things with their bodies,” he said. Your raised eyebrow (眉毛) could express doubt — but it might also signal discomfort or surprise. The same hand gesture could mean different things in different cultures, he said.
