高考题型提能练十四 Unit 14 CareersⅠ.阅读理解AContrary to popular belief, looking at someone's face alone is not enough to tell us whether they are roaring in celebration or screaming in frustration, researchers claimed.While people may believe they have the ability to read each other's faces, body language is the real clue that shows whether strong emotions someone is feeling are positive or negative.In a study, groups of participants were shown a series of facial expressions such as tennis players photographed just after winning or losing a point.In some cases the volunteers were able to see the player's full body, but in others they were only shown either their face or their body with the other removed.Participants could clearly tell whether the players were winning or losing when they were shown the full picture or just the body, but their guesses were no better than chance when based on the face alone.Those who were allowed to see the full image were convinced they had made their judgment based on the players' facial expressions even though results from the two other groups suggested otherwise.The researchers carried out a second study where participants were shown a wider range of faces showing emotions including joy, pleasure, victory, pain and defeat.Using photoediting software, the researchers attached the faces to bodies expressing the opposite emotion, and asked participants to act out the emotions they saw in the photos.The resulting poses were like the body poses in the photographs but not the facial expressions, demonstrating that people base their interpretation of strong emotions not on the face but the body.Dr Aviezer, who led the study, said, “These results show that when emotions become extremely intense, the difference between positive and negative facial expressions becomes unclear.The results may help researchers understand how our body interacts during emotional situations.For example, individuals may fail to recognize facial expressions, but if they are trained to process important body language, their performance may significantly improve.”1.People tend to believe that ________.A.someone's body language has an effect on theirfeelingsB.reading someone's face alone cannot tell their feelingsC.someone's body language is the only clue to their feelingsD.someone's feelings can be read by their facial expressions2.What do we know about the first study?A.The participants were divided into four groups.B.All participants were given the same pictures to see.C.It proved that emotions influence people's body language.D.Participants could tell the players' feelings when seeing the full picture.3.What did Dr Aviezer think of the results of the study?A.Ridiculous.eless.C.Unrealistic.D.Helpful.4.Which of the following can summarize the main idea of the passage?A.Body rather than eyes is the window of the soul.B.Facial expressions can reflect the emotions clearly.C.Researchers link emotions to body language through software.D.Two studies focus on the link between body language and emotions.B(2020·河南六市联考)At an outdoor restaurant, a cockroach (蟑螂) flew in and landed on a woman. She started screaming out of fear; with a panic stricken face and trembling voice, she started jumping, with both her hands desperately trying to get rid of the cockroach. Her reaction was spreading, as everyone in her group also got into a panic. The woman finally managed to flick the cockroach away but it landed on a man in the group who continued the drama. In the relay of throwing, the cockroach next fell upon a waitress who had rushed to their rescue.The waitress stood firm, calmed herself and observed the behavior of the cockroach on her blouse. When she was confident enough, she grabbed it and threw it out of the restaurant.Sipping my coffee and watching the amusement, I started wondering: Was the cockroach responsible for their funny behavior? If so, then why was the waitress not disturbed? She handled the situation to near perfection, without panic.It was not the cockroach, but the inability of the customers to handle the disturbance caused by the cockroach that disturbed them. I realized that it's not the shouting of my children or my boss or my wife that disturbs me, but my inability to handle the disturbances caused by their shouting.It's not the traffic jams on the road that disturb me, but my inabilityto handle the disturbance caused by the traffic jams. More than the problem, it's my reaction to the problem that creates chaos in my life.I understood. I should not react in life. I should always respond. The customers reacted, whereas the waitress responded. Reactions are always instinctive (本能的) while responses tend to be well thought out.5.What happened in the outdoor restaurant?A.A cockroach was found in a woman's food and then a man found the same problem.B.A cockroach appearing in the restaurant caused a state of panic among the customers.C.A cockroach rushed the waitress into apologizing to the customers.D.A woman and a man were trying to rescue the waitress from the cockroach.6.What's the meaning of the underlined word “chaos” in Paragraph 5?A.Confusion.B.Success.C.Poverty.D.Harmony.7.According to the passage, if you ran into a traffic jam, you might ________ in your car.plain your delayB.feel upset and annoyedC.relax yourself by listening to musicD.expect someone to clear the road8.What does the passage tell us?A.Speak less, do more!B.Actions speak louder than words!C.Mind your manners while in a restaurant!D.Don't react just from your feelings; respond positively!Ⅱ.任务型阅读The attraction of television is undeniable when it comes to kids.1.________ Here are guidelines we created to help us decide what's appropriate for our family：Monitor television time. Choosing good shows isn't a big issue if you're not watching a lot of television, so really the best solution to finding appropriate television is saying, “Go play.” 2.________Don't trust network ratings. A kidapproved stamp given by a television network is a general guide that doesn't take into account your parenting style and the things your family feels are important. 3.________ There are plenty of adult cartoon shows on television now, many with highly inappropriate topics.4.________ The bottom line is, I want to know what my kids are watching, and if the TV is on my time in our home, I want to first approve of the show ahead of time, and second to watch it with my kids so that I'm aware of anything they might be seeing that needs intervention (干涉).Talk about the show with your kids. As kids get older, we realize that we can't shelter them from every single person/show/behavior that doesn't fit exactly with our values. They're going to hear a swear word from time to time —and might walk into the room while the characters in the romantic comedy we're watching are kissing. 5.________A.If it doesn't feel good, turn it off.B.And be aware of cartoons!C.We can talk about what we see, th ough, using storylines to teach lessons when possible.D.The standard for what our kids can watch might be difficult to set.E.But how do you choose which shows are appropriate for the younger set?F.Watch TV with them.G.Still, a little bit of television doesn't hurt and can be fun.Ⅲ.完形填空(2020·乌鲁木齐诊断)A crowd gathered recently to hear a popular jazz band.

Unit 14 CareersⅠ.阅读理解AUp to 45 rare species of Australian animals are in danger of becoming extinct within 20 years, scientists warned in a report. But hope is not lost! According to the report, the species can be saved if immediate action is taken to control their natural predators (天敌) and other threats.The threatened animals can be found in the faraway Kimberley region of northwestern Australia. The region is similar in square miles to California. Thirty percent of the endangered species are unique to the region, while others have already disappeared in other parts of Australia.Dr. Tara Martin, a research scientist said in the report, “A large extinction event is happening in Australia. The north has really been the last stronghold (主要栖息地) for many species of birds and mammals and reptiles. The Kimberley is really their last chance on earth.”Many of the species are under threat because they are hunted by wild cats. These cats kill around 500 000 native animals in the Kimberley region every day. The species face another threat, too. Their native habitat is also being destroyed by wildfires and by wild donkeys and goats that compete for food and water. Humans introduced cats, donkeys and goats to Australia to be farm animals or pets. However, their populations have exploded in the region because they have few natural predators.The report calls for $ 95 million to immediately start protection programs. The report also suggests reducing wild donkey and goat populations in the region, building fences, fighting wildfires and educating the community about how to help the endangered species. Richard Hobbs, an ecologist at the University of Western Australia, says the costs are worthwhile because the measures will not be too difficult to carry out.文章大意：本文是一篇调查报告。

Readers are able to choose one minute,three minutes,or five minutes of fiction.“The feedback we got has been extremely positive. Just two weeks since its launch,more than 10,000 stories have already been printed.We are thrilled to see it working so well,”said the co-founder Quentin Pleple. “There are only eight dispensers in the city of Grenoble for now but we are planning to introduce more. We are getting requests from all over the world-Australia,the US,Canada,Russia,Grace,Italy,Spain and Chile.”Pleple said he and his team initially came up with the idea a couple of years ago when taking a break at a drink dispenser. “We thought it would be cool to have it for short stories,” said the publisher. “Then,we decided to make a difference: the short-story dispenser was born.”The French publisher hopes the story will be used to fill the “dead time” of a passenger. “In the bus or the subway,everyone can make the most of these moments to read short stories,poems,or short picture books,” said a statement from Short Edition. “And they can be sure to enjoy the quality.”The dispensers are now in locations including Grenoble’s town hall,its tourist office and its library. The stories are drawn from more than 60,000 stories on Short Edition’s website. But there is a problem that users are not able to choose what type of story they would like to read.“Right now they can only choose the length. But that is exactly what really counts,isn’t it?” said Pleple.1.Where can you probably see a short-story dispenser at present?A.In Chile.B.In Canada.C.In France.D.In Italy.2.What does the underlined word “launch” in the third paragraph probably mean?ing into use.B.Being thrown away.C.Being found out.D.Breaking down.3.Why did Short Edition provide short-story dispensers?A.To help people kill time in the journey.B.To encourage people to write short stories.C.To attract international tourists to Grenoble.D.To do research in the field of new technology.4.In what aspect does the short-story dispenser need to improve?A.The length of the stories.B.The quality of the stories.C.The number of the stories.D.The choice of different stories.语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。

AA good first impression is important. So，how do you，when you're meeting someone for the first time，make certain he or she doesn't get the wrong image of you?A study concluded that the first 30 seconds make or break the connection between two people when they meet for the first time. Another study conducted by UCLA found that “people evaluate one another by using the three V's: visual (appearance)，vocal (voice) and verbal (what you say)．”Before you head out on your next date to meet someone new，let's concentrate on these areas：●How others will see you.(Visual) Are you dressed well? Do you look like this date is important to you? Did you take some time with your appearance? Watch your manners: people don't like bad manners.●How others will hear you.(V ocal) Is your voice too soft? You might come across as insecure. If you speak softly，make an effort to speak clearly —don't make your date have to work to hear you.●What others will hear you say.(Verbal) People have a natural desire to connect — let them know you're interested in what they have to say by repeating it back to them. Don't say the same thing everyone else is saying.1．What would be the best title for the text?A．How to make friends with othersB．How to enjoy yourself in your lifeC．The importance of a good first impressionD．Good measures to communicate with others2．According to the text，when you want to make friends with someone，．A．you should talk as much as possibleB．there is no need for you to treat it seriouslyC．you should try to master(掌握) the first few seconds(秒)D．you should wear strange clothes to give him or her a deep impression3．Whic h of the following belongs to the description of “V ocal”？A．Dress yourself very well.B．Speak carefully and clearly.C．Repeat the same thing several times.D．Spend some time on your appearance.【语篇解读】文章介绍了第一印象的重要性并教读者怎么使用three V的方法在约会的时候给别人留下好印象。

For many people，being on the job might just sound like a picnic compared to a day at home filled with housework，meals and childcare.Even for those with a happy family life，home can sometimes feel more taxing than work.In a new study，researchers at Penn State University found significantly and consistently lower levels of cortisol(皮质醇) released in response to stress，in a majority of subjects when they were at work compared to when they were at home.This was true for both men and women，and parents and people without children.Both men and women showed less stress at work.But women were more likely to report feeling happier there.Men were more likely to feel happier at home.Experts say there are other reasons why work is less stress ful than home for many.“Paid work is more valued in society，” says Sarah Damaske, the lead researcher on the study.“Household work is boring and not particularly rewarding.”We get better at our job with time and the increased competence means less stress and more rewards，Yet none of us，no matter how long we've been doing it，ever truly feels like an expert at parenting or even at marriage.The support and friendship of coworkers also offer stress relief.At home，meanwhile，stress spreads and accumulates quic kly.“That's the reason why most housewives wish they were the bread earners，” Dr.Damaske says.Much of the advice to families and couples includes the warning to leave work stress at the office and even to change our mindset from work to home，for example，a walk around the block.The recent findings，though，suggest our home life，not our attitude，might be due for some change.1．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “taxing”？A．stressful B．cheerfulC．worthwhile D．rewarding2．What did the research in the second paragraph prove?A．Men felt better at home.B．Women felt they had less time.C．Women were easier to feel happier.D．Most people felt more stress at home.3．What do most people think of work at the office?A．It is competitive.B．It improves ability.C．It can't relieve stress.D．It doesn't always pay off.4．According to the recent findings，what should we change to solve the problem mentioned?A．Our attitude. D．Our mindset.C．Our home life. D．Our working style.【解题导语】本文主要介绍了一项研究，该研究表明越来越多的人认为上班比在家做家务、做饭和带孩子更轻松一些。

Unit 14 Careers李仕才【阅读理解】Hillary Clinton promised On October 30, 2016 that she would not be “knocked off course” in the election's final days, as she sought to push past a new FBI email inquiry that delivered a late jolt(震动) to her race against Republican Donald Trump.“I'm not stopping now, we're just getting warmed up,” Clinton declared during a packed rally (集会)with supporters in Florida. “We're not going to be distracted, no matter what our opponents throw at us.”Trump campaigned in Las Vegas at a club owned by billionaire GOP major donor Sheldon Adelson and accused the Justice Department, without offering evidence, of trying to protect Clinton following the FBI's discovery of new emails that could be related to its investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server.“Hillary has nobody but herself to blame for her mounting legal problems,” Trump said during a rally.Meanwhile, federal investigators secured a warrant (权证)to examine the newly discovered emails related to Hillary Clinton's private server, media reported on Sunday, as a prominent Democrat accused FBI Director James Comey of breaking the law by trying to influence the election.The warrant will allow the FBI to examine the emails to see if they are relevant to its investigation into the private email server used for government work by Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, while she was secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.Comey came under heavy pressure from Democrats on Sunday to quickly provide details of the emails, as Clinton allies worried the controversy could extend beyond the Nov 8 election and cast a shadow over a Clinton transition if she wins the White House.Comey's disclosure of the email discovery in a letter to Congress on Friday plunged(使陷入) the final days of the White House race between Clinton and Republican Donald Trump into a state of confusion and disorder.Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid sent a letter to Comey on Sunday suggesting he violated the Hatch Act, which bans the use of a federal government position to influence an election.1.What is James Comey?A.Senate Democratic Leader.B.A prominent Democrat.C.FBI Director.D.Head of the Justice Department.2.What has FBI made a discovery of?A.Clinton's private letters written to a foreign country.B.Clinton's accepting a lot of money from a businessman.C.Clinton's bad health conditions that may affect her administration.D.Clinton's new emails through the use of a private email server.3.The possible meaning of the unde rlined word “ controversy ” in Para. 7 is ________.A.a successful ending of a struggle or contestB.a lot of argument about somethingC.the ability and strength to do active physical thingsD.something new and difficult which requires great effort and determination4.The best title for the news report can be “________” .A.Clinton promises to stay course, Trump boostedB.Trump accuses the Justice Department of trying to protect ClintonC.Trump says Hillary should blame for her mounting legal problemsD.White House race between Clinton and Republican Donald Trump参考答案： 1.C; 2.D; 3.B; 4.A解析： 1.[事实判断题。
