AWhen travelling abroad, your safest bet is to limit gestures as much as possible. However, you may find that your gestures happen out of habit. Understanding app ropriate gestures of the country you’re visiting may prevent you from communicating the wrong message. In North America, eye contact communicates to the speaker that you’re interested and listening. In Asia, people look away to concentrate on what the spea ker is saying. Taking the time to get yourself familiar with the gestures of the country you’re visiting will help you connect with the people of the foreign environment.Gestures in BrazilMuch like the Italian culture, a Brazilian snaps his fingers（打响指）and uses exaggerated（夸张的）hand movements when stressing a statement. The sense of warmth and friendliness with each other is shown through the gesture of eye contact when communicating and standing close together in lineups or when talking to eachother. Communicating a greeting is more than the gesture of a handshake, but also involves the touch of the forearm.Gestures in ChinaChina is affected by Confucius’ way of thinking, which is reflected through its reserved culture. You communicate a greeting in China with the gesture of a slight nod and bow. To communicate respect, you keep your head lowered. In China, the gesture of standing close during a conversation prevents having to communicate with a raised voice. A person will communicate his surprise during a conversation with the gesture of breathing in air loudly, rather than a loud outburst.Gestures in RussiaGestures considered common to Americans may be considered rude in Russia. The American gesture to communicate “okay”, with the forefinger and thumb touching and three fingers up, is considered rude in Russia. Looking at your watch is a rude gesture communicating impatience. Russians also feel upset about the gesture of communicating directions by pointing.Gestures in IndiaGestures used in India represent its traditional culture. In India, the gesture of holding out the hand to communicate giving or receiving must be done with the right hand as a person in India uses his left hand for washing. The gesture of communicating respect at a religious ceremony is done by removing your shoes. The proper way of communicating direction is to use either the whole hand or by using your chin. The proper form of communicating a greeting is to press the palms（手掌）together with fingers upward and say, “Namaste”.21. In China people stand close while talking to ________.A. avoid a loud voiceB. show their surpriseC. exchange greetingsD. express their respect22. Which of the following is considered bad manners in India?A. Receiving gifts with the left hand.B. Using the whole hand to show the way.C. Removing shoes at religious ceremonies.D. Pressing the palms together upward while greeting.23. In which country is looking at the watch considered impolite during communication ?A. Brazil.B. Russia.C. India.D. China.24. The passage is mainly about ________.A. some traveling tips for visitorsB. the advantages of using body languageC. some gestures in communicationD. the comparison between different culturesBS ometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’ t expect someone else t o love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will g o to the Olympics, but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves .If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.Self-image is your own mind’s pic ture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about US. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it.It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, fi nd a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true.The best way to get rid of a negative serf-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat(拍) yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way. Good luck!25.You need to build a positive self-image when you _________.A.dare to challenge yourselfB.feel it hard to change yourselfC.are unconfident about yourselfD.have a high opinion of yourself26.According to the passage, our serf-images _________.A.have positive effectsB.are probably untrueC.are often changeableD.have different functions27.How should you change your serf-image according to the passage?A.To keep a different image of others.B.To make your life successful.C.To understand your own world.D.To change the way you think.28.What is the passage mainly about?A.How to prepare for your success.B.How to face challenges in your life.C.How to build a positive self-image.D.How to develop your good qualities.CEvidence of violent storms that destroyed a lost town known as Britain’s Atlantis has been uncovered. The finds were uncovered off the coast of Dunwich, Suffolk - a small village which in the 11th Century was one of the largest towns in England.The town was hit by a series of storms in the 13th and 14th centuries and is now largely below the sea. Researchers said sediment(沉积物) gathered from the cliffs independently proved the historical record.“They were like the south coast storms of 2013, at least once a year for decades,” Professor David Sear, of the University of Southampton said.The three-year research off Dunwich has been funded by Touching the Tide, a £900,000 Heritage Lottery Fund plan to explore the changing Suffolk coast.A diver used ultrasound(超声波) to “illuminate” findings on the seabed, and the marshes(沼泽) and eroding cliffs were surveyed. “It offers a marvelous history of climate change and coastal erosion,” said Prof Sear with regards to the findings.In the 11th Century, Dunwich was the 10th largest town in England, but now has about 120 residents. Two great storms in 1286 and 1326 resulted in the loss of its harbour and started its decline. Prof Sear said analysis showed how “people gave up on Dunwich” after 1338, when another great storm choked up the port for good, and food production declined. Sediment gathered from the cliffs, he said, “independently confirmed the se quences of storms recorded in the historical record”.The underwater research has been carried out using acoustic(声学的) imaging technology, and has unearthed a series of buildings. We found the ruins of about four churches and we’ve also found ruins of what we think was a toll house. We’ve also found shipwrecks(沉船), which no-one’s known before.A dig in 2015 discovered evidence of Dunwich’s prehistoric origins, as well as evidence it was “a substantial Saxon port, prior to its rapid growth following the Norman invasion”.Bill Jenman, from Touching the Tide, said: “We found loads of pottery, a lot more than we’ve found before, so sort of High Medieval - the peak of the wealth of Dunwich. We know it was a fairly major town in the Anglo-Saxon period.”29. Evidence shows that Dunwich declined in history due to ______.A. the rise of sea levelB. sediment from the cliffsC. the Norman invasionD. a series of storms30. What can be learned from the text about Dunwich’s present condition?A. It is completely below the seaB. It still exists with about 120 residents.C. It is still hit by storms every year.D. It is still an important port in England31. With the help of modern equipment, the researchers have found all the following things underwater EXCEPT_____.A. shipwrecks unknown beforeB. ruins of churches and other buildingsC. the seabed that was like a busy harbourD. lots of pottery dating back to the Anglo-Saxon period32. From the discoveries, we can conclude that______.A. Dunwich was thoroughly ruined by the Norman invadersB. no one believed those ships could have sink at DunwichC. Dunwich was a prosperous town before its declineD. no historical records about Dunwich were kept after 1338DThe term “ lifelong learning” is often us ed to define the attitude of staying in a learning mode. It is a term that is used loosely and lacks structure, importance, value and support in India.Many developed countries, for example Canada, have government programmes based on UNESCO guidelines and even offer financial support under Lifelong Learning Plans (LLPs).In the Indian context, learning is often done to earn a degree. We are a degree-oriented country. A hard fact that these degrees are sometimes mere pieces of paper, which do not establish any fact of real learning happening, or that some degrees do not help get a job in today’s times, is still not an accepted reality. The concept of voluntary and continuous learning, whether to enhance professional or personal skills, is still a long shot in India.The whole idea of lifelong learning recognizes the fact that not all learning needs to be formal, or restricted to student life until the age of 28.It can be a process that is continuous throughout life, based on situations and varied needs. Take the case of a retired professional. She may be interested in fine arts, but wasn’t able to do so in her career. Can’t she then enroll in (登记) a degree programme of fine arts after retirement? Our current system doesn’t quite support such needs of learning, for it doesn’t admit anybody beyond the age of 45.Another aspect of lifelong learning is “life-deep learning”.It is another word for value education or value-based teaching. In earlier times, there used to be periods in classroom learning called moral science that taught the importance of right versus wrong.Further,“ life-wide learning” is a term that refers to l ateral(横向的)learning—from experiences and situations different from formal, structured education.These three concepts—lifelong learning, life-deep learning and life-wide learning—constitute the framework of UNESCO’s recommendation to take education to the next level.33.Which of the following is TRUE according to Paragraph 2?A. Degrees are designed to get a job. B .Canada is also a degree-oriented country.C. India has a long way to go in “lifelong learning”.D. Lifelong learning doesn’t need money support.34.Which of the following cannot be used to describe “lifelong learning”?A. Formal.B. V oluntary.C. Important.D. Continuous.35.What can we infer from the example of the woman in Paragraph 3?A. She didn’t do well in her c areer before retirement.B. She didn’t become an artist until the age of 45.C. The elderly lose the right of study in the current system.D. She gained a chance to study fine arts after retirement.第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
