三、 阅读理解
21. Many doors close for those who have ever been in prison for a crime. It can be difficult for former prisoners to reenter society. A number of training programs are aimed at reopening doors for these men and women.
“Together We Bake” teaches cooking and marketing skills to women who have spent time in prison so they can start new lives. It is a 10-week program which teaches women how to bake and sell cookies. Two friends, Tricia Sabatini and Stephanie Wright, created the program.
“I have a background in social work and she is an amazing baker,” Ms. Wright explains. “We discovered that for this population of women, returning from prison into the community, there aren’t a lot of resources for them. So we thought we could combine our passions(激情) and develop this job as a training program. “Stephanie Wright says they started the program earlier this year.” We had two classes so far that have graduated. This is our third class. We have eight women currently in this class. We’ve 16 women graduated in the first two classes.”
Terry Garred is one of the graduates. She says the program helped her turn her life around. Next she hopes to complete her high school studies. She is also working for “Together We Bake” to help other women follow the path she took.
The program includes classes in which the women talk about their experiences and learn communication and job skills. Thirty-six-year-old Jamie White had spent three years in jail, which made her a little puzzled about her future life back into society. But she found those meeting were very helpful. She learned how to open up, and was just trying to better herself. She gained new skills. She sells baked goods at local markets every weekend now. 7. What does “Together We Bake” intend to do? A. It teaches jobless women to learn how to cook. B. It earns money by cooking and selling cookies. C. It helps former women prisoners to start new lives. D. It encourages former prisoners to find jobs they want. 8. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. Stephanie Wright is an amazing baker. B. There are 3 classes in the program now. C. Tricia Sabatini used to be a social worker. D. 24 women have participated in the program.
9. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage? A. New Skills, New Life
B. Baking for a New Life
C. “Together We Bake” for You and Me D. Former Prisoners Can Also Be Successful
10. What’s Jamie White’s attitude toward the “Together We Bake” Program? A. Grateful.
B. Puzzled.
C. Indifferent. D. Concerned.
参考答案:
7. C 8. D 9. B 10. A 【分析】
这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“Together We Bake”这个培训项目设立的初衷,现状及意义。 【7题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段首句“Together We Bake” teaches cooking and marketing skills to women who have spent time in prison so they can start new lives.可知,我们一起烘焙这个项目是要教从监狱里出来的女人如何烹饪和营销,以帮助他们开始新的生活。故选C。 【8题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的内容中可知,前两期班中的16名女人已经毕业,现在是第三次的班,由8个人。也就说到目前为止,已经有24名女人参加了这个项目。故选D。 【9题详解】
主旨大意题。这是一篇说明文,主要介绍“Together We Bake”这个项目,以及它深远的意义(让出狱的人获得技能,开启新的生活,回归社会)。选项B中的“Baking”与这个项目相呼应,“for a New Life”体现了这个项目深远的意义。故选B。 【10题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段中的“she found those meeting were very helpful. She learned how to open up, and was just trying to better herself.”可知,Jamie White觉得这个项目中的这些会议很有用,她学会了如何打开,正在让自己变得更好,也就是说她对这个项目很认可。A. Grateful感激不尽的;B. Puzzled困惑的;C. Indifferent漠不关心的;D. Concerned关心的。故选A。
【点睛】对文章作者或者文章中关键人物持有的态度的推断是高中阅读理解中的常考题型。同学们要解这类题,需要读文章时抓住表示心情、性格或行为、观点的形容词,推断
谈话人的看法。如:如果出现share, prefer, wise, reasonable, favorable等这样表示正向意义的词汇,由此推测谈话人持赞同、支持的态度;如果出现disagree, opposition, unwise, ridiculous等这样的词汇说明说话人持不赞同、反对的态度。同学们在平时练习中多积累此类词汇以及表示态度类的词汇(Indifferent漠不关心的、Puzzled困惑的等),一是可以帮助大家快速定位解题,而是可以避免碰到生僻词汇。例如本题中的第四题就是推断说话人的态度,我们通过文中最后一段中的“helpful、open up、better herself”可以确定她是赞同的,很感激的态度。故选A。
22. We convey (传达) information through the position and movement of the body. We often use gestures or body movements to stress what we are saying. For example, when I lecture (演讲), I often use my hands to emphasize (强调) points or point to something on the blackboard. Some people use them more than others. The victory (胜利) sign, the OK sign, the goodbye wave and the blowing of a kiss are all popular gestures in America. It is important to recognize, however, that most gestures are not universally recognized. For example, although the OK gesture means acceptance in America, it has other meanings in other cultures. In France it means worthlessness. And in Greece, it is considered obscene (淫秽).
There are some sex differences in nonverbal behavior. In American culture, men tend to sit or stand with legs apart and hands outward, while women tend to keep legs together and hands at their sides. Women are also better than men at understanding nonverbal gestures.
A nonverbal behaviour is to have the tongue just slightly protruding (突出) from the mouth. A study showed that people were less willing to approach others who had their tongues showing. Perhaps this is why people often tend to avoid individuals with bad nonverbal behaviours. When we make decisions about other people, we learn to recognize nonverbal cues (提示) and interpret (理解) them along with verbal information.
36. From the passage we can know that ________.
A. body language in America is more popular than in other countries B. the deferent cultures share the same body languages
C. the same gestures in deferent cultures may have the deferent meanings D. body language is more important than words
37. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Women’s body language is easier to understand.
B. Women have a better understanding of body language than men. C. In American culture, men care more about their gestures than women. D. In American culture, men and women always employ the deferent gestures. 38. It may be concluded from this passage that ________. A. body language can completely replace words B. different cultures share different nonverbal behaviours C. body language sounds louder than verbal information
D. body language can be helpful for us to communicate with each other 参考答案: 36. C
解析:文中举例说到了许多关于美国的身势语的内容,但是并没有说身势语在美国就比在其他国家更流行,所以A错误;从第一段中“… most gestures are not universally recognized”以及后文关于表达OK的身势语在不同国家表示的不同含义,说明身势语在不同文化环境中表达的含义是不相同的,所以B错误,而C刚
好表达了这样的意思,所以C正确;全文讲述了身势语在日常交流中的重要作用,但是并不是说比语言更重要,所以D错误。 37. B
解析:第二段主要讲述了由于性别的不同,从而在非语言行为中也存在着许多不同,而女性比男性更能很好地理解身势语,所以B项正确。A项说,女性的身势语比较容易理解,与文意有悖;C项,在美国文化中,男性比女性更关注姿态,而文中主要是介绍了男性与女性在站着或坐着时的不同姿态的介绍,所以不能得出本结论;从第二段第一句“There are some sex differences in non-verbal behaviour”知,有一些差异,但并不是D说的“always have different gestures”。 38. D
解析:从最后一段知,我们可以通过结合非语言(如身势语)的提示,透过语言信息来了解一个人,所以D项说,身势语可以帮助了解一个人,是正确的。A项说身势语决定了一个人的个性,未免有失偏颇;B项说语言信息不如身势语有用,显然不对,文中意思是身势语能够辅助了解一个人;C项说身势语比语言信息有效,也是不正确的。
