In A.D. 125, Ptolemy, a Greek astronomer living in Egypt, claimed that the planets and the sun moved around Earth. (11) other astronomers had different ideas, Ptolemy’s theory was held for almost 1,500 years.In the 1540s, the Polish astronomer Nicholas Copernicus published many books, one(12) explained how Earth and the other planets orbit the sun. In the early 1600s,Galileo proved that Copernicus was right. Galileo made his observations by (13) (use) a telescope (望远镜).He was the first astronomer to use one.Today，astronomers use telescopes that are much (14) (powerfiil) than Galileo's In 1990, the Hubble Space Telescope began to orbit Earth. The Hubble telescope studies some rays from distant stars and galaxies (银河系).These are the rays that never reach Earth, because they (15) (stop) by Earth’s atmosphere. The Hubble telescope has found evidence of a black hole—a (16) (fall) star that takes in all matter that comes near (17) . The Hubble telescope has also sent back information about some very young stars.(18) (study) planets in our solar system, scientists have launched unarmed space Probes (探测器).In 1997, the Pathfinder mission landed a small vehicle named Sojourner on Mars. So far. Sojourner (19) (learn) that the composition of Marsis more like Earth than scientists had thought. (20) Earth, Mars has a melted core. Pressure bubbles up from that core and sometimes causes volcanoes.Section B 9%Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once.

But did you know that the health ofyour gums (牙龈）may also _21 your probability of developing heart disease?More than 120 studies have looked into the possible 22 between gum disease and heart disease. Most of them say that gum disease is a risk factor for heart disease. This means that people with gum disease often develop heart disease but that gum disease doesn't 23 cause heart disease.Doctors and scientists have offered a number of possible reasons for this connection. One common factor is inflammation (炎症)，which occurs when the body senses a danger and sends white blood cells to _24_ it. This leads to painftil swelling, which is the main sign of gum disease. While inflammation hasn't been shown to cause heart disease, it often goes with it. And as it turns out, the same types of bacteria (细菌）ofien lead to inflammation in both diseases.It’s also possible that the connection has less to do with biology than with the habits of a(n) _25_. Perhaps people who take good care of their teeth make other healthy choices that 26 heart disease.So what does this mean for your health? Since the role of gum disease in causing heart disease isn’t certain, don't assume (臆断）that taking care of your teeth will protect your heart Certainly, brushing is no replacement for exercise and a healthy diet, but keeping your mouth healthy and avoidxng gum disease are still _27_ goals to work towards. They'll spare you pain and high dental bills and keep your beautiftil smile complete. This research does mean that if you have gum disease, you should get your heart checked. This is 28 true if you are at risk of heart disease for other reasons, such as smoking.Who would have thought that your mouth and your heart would be connected The body is a(n)__29__ and mysterious thing, so do all you can to preserve it.Ⅲ.Reading ComprehensionSection A 15%BirceCandn： For each bland in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A,B，C and D.

She won the2015Sustainable Entrepreneurship Award of Excellence,21recognizes innovative business solutions to social problems—the same recognition given to Barack Obama in 2014. Her own inventions, the Hollow Flashlight and the e-Drink, have been causing excitementinternationally 22 their creation.At the age of 15, Makosinski created a prototype（原型）for a flashlight 23 （power） by the heat of one’s hand. This invention was the result of a ninth grade science project, but Makosinski’s goal was 24 （o ffer）a practical solution to people with unlimited access to power and electricity.“I’m half-Filipino and half-Polish, and one of my friends from the Philippines told me that she failed school 25 she couldn’t afford electricity. She had no light to study with at night, so that was kind of the inspiration,”Makosinski explained.“I’ve always been interested in doing science projects, so I thought, why don’t I find a way to provide her and a lot of other people with light?”The Hollow Flashlight is made from Peltier tiles（珀耳贴贴片）that produce energy when one side 26 （heat）and the other side remains cool. The flashlight can produce a steady beam of LED lightfor 20 minutes, 27 （use）only the warmth of the human hand.Her advice to other student innovators?“S tart now. There 28 be nothing holding you back. Some students at colleges or even in high school think‘Oh, I’m a student. I just need to study.’ 29 may think it important to make friends and be social.

Puppy dog eyes, in which the 31 is raised to make the eyes appear wider and sadder, was foundto be the most 32 used expression in the study. Researchers do not know whether the dogs are aware they look sadder, or have just learned that widening their eyes invites 33 a nd affection in humans.Dog cognition expert Dr Juliane Kaminski: “We can now be 34 that the production of facial expressions made by dogs are dependent on the attention state of their audience and are notjust a result of dogs being excited.”“In our study they produced far more expressions when someone was watching, but seeing food 35 did not have the same effect.”“The findings appear to support evidence dogs are 36 to humans’ attention and that expressions are 37 active attempts to communicate, not simple emotional displays.” The researchers studied 24 dogs of various breeds, aged one to 12. All were family pets. Each dog was tied by a lead a metre away from a person, and the dogs’ faces were 38 throughout a rangeof exchanges, from the person being oriented towards the dog, to being distracted and with her body turned away from the dog.facial They found that when a human was not watching the animal,they39 expressions.Dr Kaminski said it is possible that dogs’ expressions have evolved as they were 40 . “Domestic dogs have a unique history –they have lived alongside humans for 30,000 years and during that time selection pressures seem to have acted on dogs’ability to communicate with us, ”she said.Ⅲ.

Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.When I was a child of seven years old, my friends, on a holiday, filled my pocket with coppers.I went at once to a shop where they sold toys for children. Being 41 with the sound of a whistle that I had seen by the way, in the hands of another boy, I handed over all my money for one.I then came home, and went whistling all over the house, much pleased with my whistle, but 42 all the family. My brothers and sisters and cousins, when I told of the43 I had made, said I had given four times as much as the whistle was worth. They put me in mind of what good things I might have bought with the rest of the money, and laughed at me so much for my folly that I cried with vexation( 烦恼). Thinking about the matter gave me more44 than the whistle gave me pleasure.45 , this was afterwards of use to me, for the impression continued on my mind, so that often, when I was 46 to buy something I did not need, I said to myself, “Don’t give too muchfor the whistle, ” and I saved my money. As I grew up, came into the world, and 47 the actionsof men, I thought I met with many, very many, who “gave too much for the whistle.”If I knew a miser（守财奴）who 48 every kind of comfortable living, all the pleasure of doing good to others, all the esteem of his fellow citizens and the joys of friendship,___49__gathering and keeping wealth--- “Poor man,” said I, “ you pay too dear for your whistle.”When I met a man of pleasure, who did not try to improve his mind or his fortune but_____devoted himself to having a good time, perhaps neglecting his health, “ Mistaken man, you are providing51 for yourself, instead of pleasure; you are paying too dear for your whistle.” If I saw someone fond of 52 who has fine clothes, fine houses, fine furniture, fine earrings, all above his 53 , and for which he had run into debt, and ends his career in a prison. “Alas,” said I, “he has paid dear, very dear, for his whistle.” 54 , the miseries of mankind are largely due to their puffing a(n) 55 value on things --- to giving “too much for their whistle.”41.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.（A）When you think about coffee alternatives, garlic is probably one of the last things that comes to mind, but that is exactly the ingredient that one Japanese inventor used to create a drink that looks and tastes like coffee.74-year-old Yokitomo Shimotai, a coffee shop owner in Aomori Prefecture, Japan, claims that his unique “garlic coffee” is the result of a cooking blunder he made over 30 years ago, when he burned a steak and garlic while waiting tables at the same time. Intrigued by the scorched garlic’s aroma, he mashed it up with a spoon and mixed it with hot water. The resulting drink looked and tasted a lot like coffee. Making a mental note of his discovery, Yokimoto carried on with his job, and only started researching garlic coffee again after he retired.Committed to turning his weird drink into a commercial product, Yokitomo Shimotai spent years optimizing the formula, and about five years ago, he finally achieved a result he was satisfied with. To make his dissolvable garlic grounds, he roasts the cloves in an electric oven, and, after they’ve cooled off, smashes them into fine particles and packs them in dripbags.“My drink is probably the world’s first of its kind,” the garlic coffee inventor told Kyodo News. “It contains no caffeine so it’s good for those who would like to drink coffee at night or pregnant women.”“The bitterness of burned garlic apparently helps create the coffee-like flavor,” Shimotai adds. He claims that, although his garlic coffee does give off an aroma of roasted garlic, it doesn’t cause bad breath, because the garlic is thoroughly cooked. And if you can get past the smell, the drink apparently does taste a lot like actual coffee.If decaf isn’t good enough for you, and you’re in the mood for something new, you can try Yokitomo Shimotai’s garlic coffee at his shop, in the city of Ninohc, Iwate Prefecture, or buy your own dripbags for just 324 yen（$2.8）.56. Which word is the closest in meaning to the underlined word “blunder ”in the second paragraph?A. mistakeB. showC. mixtureD. brand57. Who is not suitable to drink garlic coffee?A.

It is caffeine-free.B. Garlic powder dissolves in water.C.The burnt garlic creates bitterness.D. It is an improvement on a garlic dish.59. Which of the following can be used to describe Yokitomo Shimotai?A. venturous and greedyB. innovative and perseverantC. hardworking and cautiousD. observant and helpful（B）How an advertisement is put togetherWhen you read an advertisement there are many factors you should consider, including: target audiencebrand namessloganspictures and colourspecial offers/couponsemotive/persuasive vocabularyTarget audienceAdvertisers aim particular products at different groups of people according to age, sex, social class and interests. They will often make assumptions about people and label or stereotype them.Who do you think these products would be aimed at: nappies, diamonds, mint chocolates, sports cars?What kind of products would be aimed at these people: teenagers, 25-year-old single men, 40-year-old working mums?Brand namesBrand names are chosen carefully. They can suggest particular lifestyles, values or interests and are intended to appeal to the target audience.Nissan Primera: this suggests quality. Primera is similar to premium and premier.Ford Ka: the spelling of Ka suggests novelty and simplicity. It is modern and futuristic. It is also bound to stick in your mind when you are looking for a new car!SlogansA slogan has to be catchy and memorable. Slogans use a range of devices: alliteration, repetition, puns, questions, personal pronouns and humour.Have a break. Have a Kit Kat. RepetitionThe totally tropical taste. AlliterationPicture and colourAll pictures try to make you feel something and most are biased, even photographs. They create aview of what the world is like using different tricks such as lighting and colour.Different colours have different associations that can be linked to particular products.Yellow: freshness, sunlight, lemons.

According to the passage, to reta.n the regular customers, advertising companies tend to.A. impress them with colorful picturesB. use promotional strategiesC. change slogans frequentlyD. create eye-catching brand names（C）Dental health: Brush with confidenceChildren should be taught to brush their teeth regularly. But the suspicion remains among some people, dentists included, that even so, certain children are doomed to develop dental cavities. The hypothesis behind this fear is that some combinations of genes may give rise to the sorts of oral bacteria which are responsible for cavities. If true, that would be sad for the youngsters concerned. But a study just published in Cell Host and Microbe, by Andres Gomez and Karen Nelson of the J. Craig Venter Institute, in San Diego, suggests it isn’t true.The mouth is home to many species of microbes. Most are good. Some, though, are well known to secrete acidic waste products when fed sugar. This acidity weakens teeth, causing them to decay.To try to find out whether a child’s genes play any role in encouraging such acid-secreting bugs, Dr Gomez and Dr Nelson set up an experiment with twins.Their“volunteers”were 280 pairs of fraternal twins and 205 pairs of identical twins, all agedbetween five and 11, who had not taken antibiotics during the previous six months. The children were asked to stop brushing their teeth the evening and the morning before the crucial moment of data collection. This was when the researchers swabbed the children’s gingival sulci（the clefts betweenteeth and gums, in which bacteria collect）to find out what was there. The children also had their teethscored by dentists as belonging to one of three categories: having no signs of current or previous dental cavities: having signs of current or previous cavities affecting the enamel（a tooth’s hard, outer layer）; or having signs of cavities that penetrated the enamel and allected the underlying dentine as well.Dr Gomez and Dr Nelson found that, though identical twins shared many groups of bacteria which were not shared by fraternal twins, none of these was a type responsible for cavities. Moreover, similarities in bacterial flora were greatest among five-to seven-year-olds, weaker among seven- to nine-year-olds and weakest among nine-to 11-year-olds. This suggests that any role genes do play in regulating the mouth’s ecology fades with time.Far from supporting the idea that some children are fated to suffer from cavities no matter how well they brush their teeth, these results make it clear that the power to control the growth of the relevant bacteria is very much within reach of children and their parents. Brushing, however, may not be the only approach. Avoiding sugary foods is obviously de rigueur. It seems likely, though, that which other foods a child eats may help shape his oral ecosystem, too. This is an area of ongoing research. But, as in the intestines（肠道）, so in the mouth, scientific medicine is at last coming to grips with the fact that the mixture of microbes present is both important and capable of manipulation, to the benefit of the host.63. What doe s“hypothesis”refer to in paragraph 1?A. Children’s failure to brush their teeth properly leads to tooth decay.B. Some children are programmed to develop tooth decay.C. Youngsters are suspicious of the effectiveness of tooth-brushing.D. Some genes are more likely to lead to dental cavites.64. Dr Gomez and Dr Nelson conducted an experiment to find out .A. whether genes have anything to do with dental decayB. which group of twins are more likely to have decayed teethC. what kinds of foods tend to give rise to tooth decayD. why the ecosystem of the intestines is similar to that of the mouth65. Which of the following statements is UNTRUE according to the passage?A. Scientists are not yet sure how ecosystem of the mouth is formed.B. The role genes play in controlling ecosystem of the mouth weakens with the time.C. The children are classified into three groups according to the degrees of dental cavities.D.Identical twins are not as genetically close to each other as fraternal twins.66. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The existence of multiple microbes benefits children’s oral ecosystem.B. What a child eats enhances the healthfulness of a child’s oral ecosystem.C. Cutting down on sugar intake is the most likely way to prevent tooth decay.D. Parents are in no position to help their children maintain healthy oral ecosystem.Section CDirections: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable statement from A-F for each Blank. There are two extra statements, which you do not need.A. Reality has begun to catch up with the imagination of the film’s writer.B. Nanotechnology is one of the most exciting fields of research in the world today.C.When this becomes possible, great changes will take place in numerous fields.D. Small as they are, large quantities of them can make a difference and work wonders.E.Nanotechnology is also responsible for tremendous advances in many other fields.F. They carry medicine with them as they travel though the body, seeking our cancer cells.Nanotechnology Grows FastThanks to advances in technology, the science fiction of the past has become the“science fact”o f today, like the 1966 sci-fi Fantastic V oyag（e《神奇旅程》）. In the film, a man with very important knowledge was dying. The only way to save him was by using experimental miniaturization technology. A number of scientists were shrunk to a tiny size and injected into the man’s body to locate the source of the problem and save him.67Over the past several decades, the science of nanotechnology has been developing rapidly, and, just as in the film, it involves working with objects of a very small size.Something very similar to the medial procedure seen in Fantastic Voyage is already being used to help save lives today. Tiny crystals known as“quanturn dots（量子点）”，whose diametersare one thousandth of a human hair, are injected into the body of a cancer patient. 68 Upon finding a tumor, these quantum dots release their medicine, and then light themselves up tso that doctors can see exactly where the cancer cells are.69 We may soon find our everyday lives being affected by it. Are you tired of having to charge the batteries in your mobile devices? Soon, you don’t need to. Scientists are working on solar-cell vests that will absorb energy from the sun as you walk around and provide power for your devices.Eric Drexler, an author and scientist, believes that nanotechnology will lead to a new kind of manufacturing, one in which products are assembled atom by atom. By rearranging atoms, you can turn one kind of molecule into another. For example, a wood molecule can be transformed into a metal molecule. If this is done many times according to a design, a large object such as an ax might eventually be created, just by rearranging atoms. 70 .Although we have already seen its first practical applications, even more dramatic advances will be made in the future.Ⅳ. Surmmary Writing（10 分）Directions：R ead the following passage. Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated. Use your own words as far as possible.According to an official report on youth violence.“In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence.”Given that this is the case, why aren’t students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. It is reported that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult. For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence.If the conflict occurs, students can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution: stay calm. Once the student feels calmer. Once the student feels calmer. He or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire while soft words can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.After that, they can use another key strategy for conflict resolution. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side: and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterwards, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker’s position. Then the two people should change roles.Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. An argument doesn’t mean trying to figure out the fault of the other person but means understanding what the real issue is. As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller.（280 words）第Ⅱ卷Ⅴ.

What would it be liketo be a pedestrian?Actually, pretty good. In fact, pedestrians might end up with the run of the place.In a new study published in the Journal of Planning Education and Research, Millard-Balllooks at the __31__of urban areas where a majority of vehicles are ―autonomous‖ or self-driving.It’s a phenomenon that’s not as far off as one might think.-Ball says. He ―Autonomous vehicles have the potential to __32__ travel behavior,‖ Millarduses game theory to __33__ the interactions between pedestrians and self-driving vehicles, with afocus on yielding at crosswalks.Because autonomous vehicles are by design risk-averse, Millard-Ball's model suggests that pedestrians will be able to act with impunity, and he thinks autonomous vehicles may facilitate ashift towards pedestrian-oriented urban neighborhoods. However, Millard-Ball also finds that the__34__ of autonomous vehicles may be hampered by their strategic disadvantage that slows themdown in urban traffic.Millard-Ball writes. Crossing the street, ―Pedestrians routinely play the game of chicken,‖ even at a marked crosswalk without a traffic signal, requires a probability calculation: what are theodds of survival?The benefit of crossing the street __35__, instead of waiting for a gap in traffic, is traded offagainst the probability of injury or even death. Pedestrians know that drivers are not interested inrunning them down -- usually. But there is the chance a driver may be __36__, or drunk.Self-driving cars are __37__ to obey the rules of the road, including waiting for pedestriansto cross. They could provide the most __38__ transformation in urban transportation systems.Parking, street design, and transportation service networks are likely to be revolutionized. In his latest study, Millard-Ball suggests that the potential benefits of self-driving cars -- avoiding __39__ of traffic and traffic accidents -- may be outweighed by the drawbacks of an always play-it-safe vehicle that slows traffic for everybody.―From the point of view of a passe nger in an automated car, it would be like driving down a-Ball writes.street filled with __40__ five-year-old children,‖ MillardAlternatively, planners could seize the opportunity to create more pedestrian-oriented streets. Autonomous vehicles could start a new era of pedestrian domination.III.

She was wondering how the lady could know how much money she and her husband needed since the baby would soon arrive.She knew that her husband worried about that,so she was glad to tell him the good news.Then she kissed him and whispered“Now everything will be all right.I love you,Bryan Anderson.”67.Why was the woman still worried when the men came towards her?68.What was wrong with the woman’s car?69.The lady paid money for the man’s help,didn’t she?70.Where did the lady stop at the same evening?71.How did the lady deliver her love to others?72.Which character is the most impressive to you?Can you tell the reason?VII.Writing73.Write at least60words on the topic“A surprise I want to give__________”（以“我想给…的惊喜”为题写话。

2017-2018学年上海市建平中学高一第二学期期末考试英语试卷分析
2017-2018学年建平中学高一第二学期期末考试英语试卷Section ADirections:After reading the passage below, fill in the blanks to make the passage coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.In colleges around the country, most students are also workers.The reality of college can be pretty different from the images __1__(present) in movies and television. Instead of the students who wake up late, party all the time, and study only before exams, many colleges are full of students __2__ tight schedules of not just classes and activities, but real jobs, too.This isn’t a temporary ph enomenon. The share of working students __3__ (be) on the rise since the 1970s, and one-fifth of students work year round. About one-quarter of those __4__ work while attending school have both a full-course load and a full-time job. The arrangement can help pay for tuition (学费) and living costs, obviously. And there’s value in it beyond the direct cause: such jobs __5__ also be critical for developing important professional and social skills that make __6__ easier to land a job after graduation. With many employers __7__(look) for students with already-developed skill sets, on-the-job training while in college can be the best way to ensure a job later on.But it’s not all upside. Even full-time work may not completely cover the cost of tuition and living expenses. The study notes that __8__ a student worked a full-time job at the federal minimum wage, they would earn just over $15,000 each year, certainly not enough __9__ for tuition, room, and board at many colleges without some serious financial aid. That means that though they’re sacrificing time away from the classroom, many working students will still graduate with at least some debt. And working full time can reduce the chance that students will graduate at all, by cutting into（减少） the time available for studying and attending classes.There is little reward for attending but not finishing college. Working too much while in school can create a cycle where students __10__(push) further into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits.1.【答案】presented【分析】考查非谓语. 过去分词做后置定语.2.【答案】with【分析】考查介词．根据句意：许多大学有时间表排得紧紧的学生．3.【答案】has been【分析】考查被动语态．根据句意：已经工作的大学生的占比从上世纪70年代有所上升，因为后面有since，所以被动要用现在完成时．4.【答案】who【分析】考查定语从句．先行词是those，指人，并在定语从句中做主语，所以用关系代词who引导．5.【答案】can【分析】考查情态动词．根据句意：这样的工作也可以是对……至关重要的 .6.【答案】it【分析】考查代词．Make it easier，其中，it作形式宾语 .7.【答案】looking【分析】考查非谓语．With引导伴随状语从句．8.【答案】if【分析】考查连词．If引导让步状语从句．9.【答案】to pay【分析】考查非谓语．不定式充当目的状语引导目的状语从句．10.【答案】are pushed【分析】考查被动语态．根据句意：读书时工作的太多会导致学生被推进一个……的循环里。

AThere is a bar in our town with the name “The White Horse”. It 's Mr. Webster's. Few people went to the bar last year, but thi ngs are quite different now.There was a picture of a white horse on the door of the bar. T hen a stranger came in one day, drank something, looked aro und the bar and then said to Mr. Webster "Few people come here. Take down the picture of the white horse and put on a pi cture of a black horse instead.""But the name of the bar is ‘The White Horse’.” Mr. Webster s aid."Yes, but do it." The man said. Then he went out of the bar.[] Mr. Webster went to an artist and said, "I want a picture of a b lack horse."The next day a picture of a black horse was on the door of the bar instead of that of the white horse. Soon after the door op ened, a man came in and said, "There is a mistake on the doo r of your bar, and the picture is different from the name." The man looked, sat down and drank something.Then another man came in and said the same, and then anot her and another. A lot of people came in and said "The pictur e on your door is wrong." And they all stopped and drank in M r. Webster's bar.1. The stranger told Mr. Webster to take down the picture of t he white horse because he knew ________.A. people would come in and tell the picture was different from the nameB. the picture of the white horse wasn't good for the barC. people would understand the picture different from the nam eD. a picture of a black horse showed good luck2. Mr. Webster agreed with the stranger ________.A. because he knew he was an artistB. though he didn't like the black horseC. though he wasn't ready to do it at firstD. because he want ed to change the picture3. More and more people came to the bar because ________.A. it had changed its nameB. they wanted to show t he mistakeC. the bar had a black horseD. the black horse was bet ter than the white one4. From the story we have learned that ________.A. if your business isn't good, you'd better change the name o r the pictureB. when you have difficulty, don't give upC. if you are in trouble, you should take others' ideasD. when a good name is given, it can cause successBWhy do people lie? A person lies to get himself out of a difficu lt or stressful situation or he lies to gain some benefits. So ho w should we go about recognizing those common indications(暗示) that someone is lying? Let's begin.Scratching(抓，挠) the neck，throat or mouth. When a person tells lies，he will put himself under pressure and this tends to heat up th e whole body. In order to release this heat，the liar will start to scratch his body to release the heat. Shaking of a leg or a foot. When telling a lie，a person controls his facial expression because he knows that the other person is looking at his face. However，when one is totally focused on controlling the upper body，the lower body will get out of control，which is an indication of lying.Eye direction. When a person is trying to answer a hard quest ion，usually the eyes will be looking to the left to recall things from his memory. When one cannot find the answer，the eyes will shift to look at the right which indicates that he is constructing something that is usually a lie.For more techniques to become a more effective communicator，please refer to other articles on this website.5.The writer wrote this passage to ________.A．tell us how to detect lies through body languageB．tell us the importance of detecting liesC．prove that lies can be easily detectedD．explain why people tell lies6．According to the writer，the liar will start to scratch his body because ________. A．he feels very nervous B．he is trying to calm down C．he wants to draw attention to himself D．he wants to rel ease heat7．Where is this passage probably taken from?A．A website B．A magazine. C．A newspaper D ．A letter.CMany pet owners see their pets as family members. However ，when they have to go away on business or for some other rea sons, they feel guilty about it and wish they could do somethin g for their deeply loved pets. The Pet Hotel is set up especiall y for this reason.What do we offer?The Pet Hotel offers pets large rooms and the latest equipme nt. Like other hotel rooms，we offer color TVs，suitable beds，sofas and other pieces of furniture for pets. We prepare great food for the little guests，walk them at least twice a day，and provide them with all kinds of amusements（娱乐活动）. In addition，we brush and clean pets. To make pets feel at home，we play the sort of music which is often played at their homes and turn the TV to the pets’ favorite channels. Pets will surely feel comfortable in our hotel!We also have video cameras in each room so that owners ca n check online twenty-four hours a day to make sure that the pets are having a good time at the hotel.How much does It cost?The prices change according to the size of the rooms. A regul ar room with standard service costs 1,500 dollars.8．Pet owners send their pets to the Pet Hotel probably beca use they ．A．can't take pets along on business B．treat pets as their close friendsC．are not happy with their own pets D．want to send their pets to others9．The Pet Hotel provides pets with ．[]A．magazines and sofas B．color TVs and beds C．beds and magazines D．color TVs and toys 10．In the Pet Hotel，pets can ．A．enjoy their favorite TV programs B．take photos for th eir ownersC．brush and clean themselves D．book rooms accordi ng to their size根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
