2023年山东省烟台市中考模拟英语试题学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读单选Do you use hand gestures when you talk? Do you open your mouth and eyes wide when you are surprised? These are all examples of body language. How important can it be? Follow Teens and have a look.Body language does not use words. It uses the movement or position of your body to show certain meanings.According to American scientist Edward T. Hall, in a conversation between two people, 65 percent of communication is body language. In some cases you even express yourself without words. For example, if your friend asks you to join him in a picnic, you will give him an "OK" gesture to say: "Yes, sounds great!" Sometimes, your words say one thing, but your body language says another. You may do things unconsciously(无意识地) like touching your face while telling a lie.In different cultures, the same body language means different things.In the US, making eye contact(眼神交流) with someone means you are interested in what the person is saying. While in some Asian countries, it is rude to look into a person's eyes during a conversation.Sometimes, different body language expresses the same meaning.Take "hello" for example. French people kiss cheeks (脸颊) to say hello. Japanese people bow (鞠躬). Maoris in New Zealand, however, touch noses in greeting.What are you trying to say?Body language is important to teenagers.

He is kind and helpful, but always feared applying for a new job.One day, he gathered up all his courage and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10:00 a.m. and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an old man kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Denson immediately went up to lend a hand to him. When Denson finished repairing the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Denson said there was no need to pay him and he just helped someone in need, and that he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office. It’s the least I could do. Please, I insist.” Denson agreed.When he arrived at his destination, Denson found a long line of applicants（求职人）waiting to be interviewed. Denson still had some grease（油脂）on his shirt after repairing the car, but he didn’t think he had enough time to wash it off or change the shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with disappointed looks on their faces. After a long time, Denson’s name was finally called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Denson’s heart sank. “Wearing such a dirty shirt, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself. Then the interviewer turned around the chair, and to Denson’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out that he was the general manager of the company. “Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as a member of the company before you evenstepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!”8．What does the beginning of the passage tell us?A．Denson got a new job a short time ago.B．Denson didn’t want to be a mechanic any more.C．Denson went to several job interviews.D．Denson wasn’t confident about finding a new job.9．What happened when the old man’s car was able to work properly again?A．The old man paid Denson for the service he provided.B．The old man offered Denson a free ride to the office.C．Denson told the old man to pay someone in need.D．Denson rushed to the interview office by himself.10．How did Denson feel when he was asked a question by the interviewer?A．Denson thought he didn’t really need to be interviewed.B．Denson thought he had been kept waiting for too long.C．Denson thought the old man had made the right decision.D．Denson thought he couldn’t possibly pass the interview.11．Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A．Practice makes perfect.B．One good turn deserves another. C．All roads lead to Rome.D．One is never too old to learn.When it comes to making healthy lifestyle changes, which should come first changing your diet or becoming more physically active?Previous studies suggested that providing people with too much information about nutrition and physical activity at once tends to be discouraging. That has led to the popularity of advising people to make changes gradually, and set smaller goals.So the scientists divided 200 inactive participants who were aged 45 or older into four groups. One group was instructed about making diet and fitness changes at the same time, the second group was taught about diet changes first, then fitness changes four months later, the third group changed their exercise habits first and made changes in their eating habits four months later, and the final, control group was not instructed about either diet or fitness changes but about how to manage their stress.The researchers tracked（跟踪）the groups for full year. Compared to the control group，the three intervention groups made healthy changes in their diet. Those whochanged their fitness habits first significantly increased the amount of exercise they received daily compared to the other groups after four months. However，at the end of the year，the group that changed both diet and exercise at the same time was the only one that met the nationally recommended targets for both exercise and nutrition levels，while those who worked on improving their nutrition first were unable to meet the recommended levels of fitness after a year. The researchers suspect that changes to diet are easier to make than changes to physical activity.The findings show, however, that pairing diet and exercise changes may help to overcome some of the barriers people face in adding more physical activity into their lives. If people change diet and exercise orderly, the scientists say, they may end up placing more importance on the first set of behavior changes and feel less pressured to address the second set.12．The advice mentioned in the second paragraph seemed ________.A．popular B．dangerous C．scientific D．unsatisfactory 13．Which group made progress earlier than other groups in increasing the amount of daily exercise?A．The first group.B．The second group.C．The third group.D．The control group.14．The reason why those improving their nutrition first failed to meet the levels of fitness after a year might be that _________.A．they might be very crazyB．they wouldn't like to change their behaviourC．it is much harder to change physical activityD．they might put on weight before changing their physical activity15．Which of the following does the author probably approve of?A．Pairing diet and exercise changes.B．Becoming more physically active first.C．Changing diet and exercise following a fixed order.D．Changing diet first and placing more importance on it.二、阅读还原6选5阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
