3．阅读理解

When you speak to foreigners, what will you do if you can't understand their languages? Will you use your body language to help you, or just say sorry to them and then go away? Learning spoken language is very important, but learning local gestures（手势） is also very necessary.

I often use gestures to communicate with someone whose language I don't know. We use our hands to talk with each other. Although we don't understand the others' words, our hand movements make our conversation more necessary.

However, gestures aren't always clear. Different gestures may have different meanings in different countries and cultures.

In many countries, people move their hands at someone to call him to come near. In the United States, people usually move hands at somebody with their palms（手掌）up and sometimes move just one finger. But in many countries in Asia, hand movements like that would be impolite. In Asia, many people move hands at someone with their palms down using all fingers.

Do you use your thumb, your thick short finger to make gestures? In western countries, "thumbs-up" means agreement. But it is very rude in parts of Africa.

If you want to say "OK" in America, you can make a circle with the thumb and the second finger. But in France, it means "zero", and it is very rude in many other countries.

You can use your second finger to point at something but not at somebody in the United States. However, in some parts of Europe, Asia and Africa, pointing at anything with one's second finger is not polite.

"V" form is often used when people take photos. But using two fingers to make up the "V" shape means "peace" in the West.

The last example is that people in parts of Asia point to their noses to mean themselves, but people in western countries usually point to their chests.

Gestures are important, but also have different meanings.

（1）It's OK in to call someone to come near by moving just one finger.

A. America

B. Asia

C. Africa

D. Europe

（2）According to the passage, we can learn that .

A. pointing one finger at someone in the United States is sometimes allowed

B. using "thumbs-up" as your body language is very rude in parts of Africa

C. making a circle with the thumb and the next finger means"0"in America

D. using two fingers to make up the "V" shape means "success" in the West

（3）There are examples of different gestures in the passage.

A. five

B. six

C. seven

D. eight

（4）The best title of this passage can be .

A. Work Hard to Learn Different Cultures around the World

B. Talk to Other People with Spoken Language Successfully

C. DifferentGestures Are Difficult to Understand and Learn

D. Make Sure Your Gestures Are Saying What You Want to Say

【答案】（1）A

（2）B

（3）B

（4）D

【解析】【分析】文章大意：实例说明在不同的国家和文化中，不同的手势可能有不同的含义。

（1）细节理解题。根据文中的语句 In many countries, people move their hands at someone to call him to come near. In the United States, people usually move hands at somebody with their palms（手掌） up and sometimes move just one finger. 理解可知，在美国可以用一个手指，向某人挥手让他过来，故选A。

（2）细节理解题。根据文中的语句In many countries, people move their hands at someone to call him to come near. In the United States, people usually move hands at somebody with their palms（手掌）up and sometimes move just one finger. But in many countries in Asia, hand movements like that would be impolite. 可知，在亚洲的一些国家，手掌向上的手语是不礼貌的，故选B。

（3）理解归纳题。通读全文可知，此文一共列举了6个不同的手势，故选B。

Have you noticed your life becoming a little easier? Now, when you go to a certain shopping mall, you can enjoy its free Wi-Fi there. When you want to take a taxi, you can book one with your phone. In fact, all these can be seen as the basic parts of a smart city.

The idea of a smart city was brought up by US company IBM in 2010. Generally, a smart city is a city that uses digital technologies such as the Internet to improve city planning, save money and resources, and make our life convenient. How smart can a city be? Here are great examples that we can learn from.

In 2009, Dubuque became the first smart city in the US. The city used smart water meters to take the place of traditional water me tens. They can detect （探测） water waste and leakage

（泄漏） and send data to let the house owner know. The same system is used for other city resources like electricity and natural gas. In this way, people know how they use their resources and are glad to help reduce waste.

Santander in Spain also gives us a look at the future. If people point a phone toward a nearby bus stop, the phone immediately shows all bus lines that serve the stop as well as their arrival times. The government organized a research team and provided an App （应用程序）that collects data on almost everything: light, temperature, and the movements of cars and people. Opening the App near a supermarket provides immediate information on special offers.

（1）The underlined word "convenient" is closest in meaning to "______".

A. useful

B. normal

C. suitable

D. easy

（2）Compared with traditional water meters, smart water meters do better in ______. A. cleaning water B. supplying water C. saving water D. producing water （3）The example of Santander shows the use of smart systems in aspects （方面）EXCEPT ______.

A. business

B. health care

C. traffic controlling

D. public transportation （4）What's the main idea of the passage?

A. Digital technologies help improve city planning.

B. Smart cities will make our future life better and smarter.

C. Smart cities are very common in both Dubuque and Santander.

D. Spain and the US take the leading position in building smart cities.

【答案】（1）D

【解析】【分析】文章大意：文章主要对智能城市进行了基本介绍，又通过迪比克和桑坦德的例子介绍了智能城市为生活所带来的便捷。

（1）猜测词句题。由语句Generally, a small city is a city that uses digital technologies such as the Internet to improve city planning, save money and resources 可知，总的来说，小城市就是使用数码科技例如互联网去提高城市计划，节省金钱和资源。由此可推知，节省金钱、能源，可以使我们的生活更加轻松便捷。easy 意为“轻松的”，符合题意。useful 意为“有用的”，normal 意为“普通的”，suitable 意为“适合的”，均不符合题意。故正确答案为D。（2）细节理解题。由文中语句This way, people know they use their resources and are glad to help reduce waste 可知，通过这种方式，人们就可以知道他们使用的资源并愿意减少资源的浪费。由此可知，智能水表可以在节约水资源方面做的比传统水表更好。save water 意为“节约水资源”，符合题意。故正确答案为C。

（3）细节理解题。A项，由第四段第四句Opening the App near a supermarket provides immediate information on special offers 可知，在超市旁边打开这个应用程序，可以马上推送特价商品的信息。由此可推知，智能系统在商业（business）中有所应用。B项，health care 意为“健康管理”，文章没有提及。C项，由第四段第二句 If people point a phone toward a nearby bus stop, the phone immediately shows all bus lines that sever the stop as well as their

arrival times 可知，如果人们用手机指向一个附近的公交车站，手机就会马上展示出所有的会在这站停的公交车路线。由此可推知，智能系统在交通控制（traffic controlling）方面有所应用。D项，由第四段第二句 If people point a phone toward a nearby bus stop, the phone immediately shows all bus lines that sever the stop as well as their arrival times 可知，如果人们用手机指向一个附近的公交车站，手机就会马上展示出所有的会在这站停的公交车路线。由此可推知，智能系统在公共交通（public transportation）方面有所应用。故正确答案为B。

（4）主旨归纳题。A项，意为“电子科技帮助提升了城市规划”，只在第一段中有所提及。故A项错误。B项，意为“智能城市使我们未来的生活更好更智能”，文章主要对智能城市进行了基本介绍，又通过迪比克和桑坦德的例子介绍了智能城市为生活所带来的便捷。故B项正确。C项，意为“智能城市在迪比克和桑坦德非常普遍”，文章第三段和第四段主要介绍了智能应用在两座城市中的应用，并没有提到普及型。故C项错误。D项，意为“西班牙和美国在建设智能城市方面处于领导地位”，文章提到美国的迪比克是第一个智能城市，西班牙也采用了智能城市，但是并没有提到领导地位。故D项错误。故正确答案为B。

Miss Mitra didn't want to be a Sunday school teacher any longer. The students there were all rude and never listened to her. "I give up." She shouted at the students. "Cool." Rick said. He was the most impolite kid in this school. Two months later, Miss Betty Ray came to the school. She looked young. The students thought that she wouldn't stay very long.

"Have any of you ever been out of state?" She asked in a friendly tone. A few hands went up.

"Anyone has traveled to California?" One hand went up as the disrespectful（无礼的） laugh reduced.

"Anyone visited outside the country?" No hands went up now. The silent kids were puzzled.

Betty took a map of the world from her bag.

"What else do you have there? Lunch?" Someone cracked.

Betty smiled lightly and answered, "Cookies for later." "Cool," Rick quipped（困惑的）.

Then she pointed at a place on the map, "I was born here, and I lived here until I was about your age."

"Is that Texas?" Someone asked.

"No. Quite a long way from here. It is Mumbai in India."

Betty fumbled again in her bag, this time pulling out some old wrinkled pictures along with a box of chocolate chip cookies. They passed the pictures around, viewing each with great interest. The kids studied them as they bit into the sweets.

The hour quickly slid by as she told them her stories about faraway places and what the people were like there and how they lived.

"Wow, this is as exciting as TV!" One young girl told her.

Sunday after Sunday, Betty came to class, tying her lessons to their everyday lives. She told the kids how they could make a difference right now. The students grew to love her.

Betty taught that Sunday school class for thirty years. At last, her hair grew into a natural gray.

Every now and then, she received a letter from a former student. There was a doctor, a research scientist, a homemaker, a businessman, and many teachers among them. One day she pulled out a blue envelope from her mailbox. And there was a photo in it. Squinting her eyes, she smiled at the man in the photo, still seeing the boy in him.

12．阅读理解

Earlier this year, China achieved a new milestone （里程碑） in space research. On January 3, 2019, Chang'e-4 became the first lunar probe （月球探测器） in history to successfully land on the far side of the moon.

The Earth's gravity （重力） slows the moon's rotation （自转）, matching it to the speed of its orbit （公转）. Therefore, the far side of the moon is almost "dark" and has never been seen. It's this sense of the unknown that makes the far side of the moon such an interesting place for scientific and space research. Being blown by solar （太阳的） winds, the far side may have the special minerals （矿物质）. For this reason, Chang'e-4 will study the effect of solar winds on the lunar surface and any mineral found by the spacecraft. Chang'e-4 is also carrying flower seeds, potatoes and silkworm eggs to see whether life is possible on the moon. If it is, then the moon will become a possible choice for space travel in the future.

However, research of the "dark" side isn't easy. As the far side is blocked（阻断） off from us, radio noise coming off Earth is also blocked. This is why China's relay satellite （中继卫星）

Queqiao was sent up in May, 2018. Thanks to Queqiao, the communication problem between Earth and Chang'e-4 has been well solved.

Power supply （电源供应） is also a challenge to the task. Chang'e-4 gets energy from the sun through its solar panels. As we know, a lunar day has the length （长度） of 28 Earth days. After Chang'e-4 was sent up on December 8, 2018, it took the probe over 20 days to orbit the moon to be in a position to be able to land in moon daylight and use its solar panels.

Luckily, everything goes well, Chang'e-4 has worked on the "dark" side for over 5 months. It has sent back many photos of the far side of the moon and has been used to carry out some scientific experiments.

The New York Times used the word "groundbreaking" to praise the task and wrote that "it will offer help to the history and development of the moon".

（1）When was Chang'e-4 sent up?

A. In May, 2018.

B. On December 8, 2018.

C. On January 3, 2019.

D. The passage doesn't tell us.

（2）The main tasks of Chang'e-4 don't include _______________________.

A. studying if life is possible on the moon

B. studying the effect of solar winds on the lunar surface

C. solving the communication problem between Earth and other probes

D. researching any mineral found by the spacecraft

（3）The meaning of the underlined word "groundbreaking" in the last paragraph is the closest to "________________".

A. harmful

B. unpredictable

C. risky

D. pioneering

（4）According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. Chang'e-4 has sent back many photos of the far side of the moon.

B. A lunar day has the length of 28 Earth days.

C. China's relay satellite Queqiao was sent up in order to offer power supply to probes.
