Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage .
According to one study, words send only 7 percent of a person’s message. Intonation (語調(diào)) and voice quality communicate 38 percent, and nonverbal(not using or involving words) cues (暗示) transmit a large 55 percent. That means people pick up more from nonverbal communication than from the words a person says. When studying a foreign culture then, it just makes sense to pay attention to how people use nonverbal cues.
Gestures consist of a major form of nonverbal communication. But often these gestures are culture-bound. For example, when the Maoris of New Zealand stick out (伸出) their tongue at someone, it is a sign of respect. When American schoolchildren make the same gesture, it means just the opposite. Also, Americans often indicate “OK” with their thumb and fore-finger touching to form a circle. The same gesture means “money” to the Japanese and “zero” to the French. For that reason, people in a foreign culture must use gestures with caution.
Another part of nonverbal communication is the one that you might not think about — space. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he knocks into someone, he feels obligated (有義務(wù)的) to apologize. But the size of a person’s “comfort zone” varies, depending on his cultural or ethnic origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart. People in Latin or Arabic cultures, instead, stand very close to each other and touch each other often.
Considering the effects of nonverbal communication, we never really stop communicating. How we walk, how we stand and how we use our hands all send a message to others. That’s why it’s possible to “read someone like a book”.

閱讀下面的短文,并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題(請注意問題后的詞數(shù)要求,并將答案寫在二卷答題紙上)。
[1] What does a successful language learner do? Language learning research shows that successful language learners are similar in many ways.
[2] First of all, successful language learners are independent learners. They do not depend on the book or the teacher. Instead of waiting for teachers to explain, they try to find the patterns and the rules for themselves. They are good guessers who look for clues and form their own conclusions.
[3] Secondly, successful language learning is active learning. Therefore, successful learners do not wait for a chance to use the language but                . They find people who speak the language and they ask these people to correct them when they make a mistake. They will try anything to communicate. They are not afraid to repeat what they hear or to say strange things. They are willing to make mistakes and try again. When communication is difficult, they can accept information that is inexact or incomplete. It is more important for them to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.
[4] Finally, successful language learners are learners with a purpose. They want to learn the language because they are interested in the language.
[5] What kind of language learners are you? If you are a successful language learner, you have probably been learning independently, actively and purposefully. On the other hand, if your language learning has been less than successful, you might do well to try some of the techniques above.
小題1: What is the main idea of the text? (Please answer within 10 words.)
________________________________________________________________________
小題2: Which sentence in the text can be replaced by the following one?
They make efforts to seek their own ways of learning rather than wait for explanations from their teachers.

閱讀下面的短文,并根據(jù)短文后的要求答題(請注意問題后的詞數(shù)要求。答案寫在答卷紙上)
[1]Have you ever been in the situation where you really didn’t believe what someone was saying? Did you have a sense that something didn’t ring true or a feeling that all was not right? Perhaps they were saying ‘‘Yes’’ yet their heads were shaking “No”.
[2]The difference between the words people speak and our understanding of______            comes from non-verbal communication, otherwise known as “body language”. Body language includes body movements and gestures(1egs,arms,hands,head and body),posture,muscle tension,eye contact,skin coloring,even people’s breathing rate and sweat.Additionally,the tone of voice,the rate of speech and the pitch of the voice all add to the words that are being used.
[3] By developing your awareness of the signs and signals of body language,you can more easily understand other people,and more effectively communicate with them.There are sometimes subtle(微妙的)—and sometimes not so subtle—movements,gestures, facial expressions and even shifts in our whole bodies that indicate something is going on.We have ways of talking,walking,sitting and standing and they all say something about us,and whatever is happening on the inside can be reflected on the outside.
[4]By becoming more aware of this body language and understanding what it might mean,you can learn to read people more easily.This puts you in a better position to communicate effectively with them.What’s more, by increasing your understanding of others,you can also become more aware of the messages that you convey to them.
[5] There are times when we send mixed messages—we say one thing yet our body language reveals something different.This non-verbal language will affect how we act and react to others,and how they react to us.Therefore,in order to communicate more effectively,we should learn
the signs and signals of body language correctly.

[1]Compared to people with bad attitudes,people        are less likely to suffer from
colds.It’s possible that being positive helps the body fight il1nesses.
[2]In a previous study,people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to
develop coughs and other cold symptoms.People who showed positive feelings were also less likely to mention symptoms to their doctors,even when medical tests detected those symptoms.
[3]Those findings were interesting,but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects
whether he or she gets sickInstead,it was still possible that a person’s underlying personality is what matters.
[4]Evidence suggests,for instance,that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing
and optimistic,with high self-esteem and a sense of control over life.This would mean that who we are,not how we feel,ultimately decides our chances of catching colds.
[5]To figure out which mattered more,personality or emotions,the researchers interviewed
193 healthy adults.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected.Their symptoms,however,differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous fortnight.
[6]Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus,for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy noses.On the other hand,those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive.
[7]Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are.For now,it can’t hurt to look on the bright side more often than not !
