第三部分阅读理解
（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）
阅读下列短,从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。
A
难度:★
The "Thumbs-Up"
While Western culture has become used to the thumbs-up as a positive signal (probably coming from World War II pilots using the signal to communicate that they were "good to go" with ground crews), there are cultures where a thumbs-up may land you in trouble. In West Africa, as well as Greece, Italy and iddle East, the thumbs-up is pretty much the biggest insult(侮辱).
Rather more charming is a thumbs-up in Germany and in parts of Japan —they just see it as the hand signal for the number one.
The "A-O"
This sign is mainly used by divers(潜水员)to mean "O"(to prevent being confused with the thumbs-up sign, which means "rise"). Basically the meaning comes out as "great", or "completely fine". However, in a few countries in Europe, people may think you’re telling them that you think they’re a 'zero’.
The "V Sign"
The sign comes in two formats: one with the palm faced outwards, and one with the palm inwards. In America they mean the same thing —"victory". However, if the outside of your hand is facing your target, you’re giving somebody a long-established insult in Great Britain and many English-speaking countries such as Australia, Ireland and New Zealand. Winston Churchill famously used the "incorrect" version of the V sign during the early years of the war, turning the outside inside later. The V sign is also considered rude in Italy.
The "Corna"
The corna hand gesture has most recently been adopted by fans of rock and heavy metal music. Nowadays many Americans use the gesture simply to mean "rock on", or in support of the University of Texas in Austin (known as the "Hook’em Horns"). Today it is still popular in Spain, Brazil and Slovakia (斯洛伐克) . Historically, however, the symbol possibly dates back to Ancient Greece.
56. Which of the following signs doesn’t have an insulting meaning?
A. The "Thumbs-Up". B. The "A-O".
C. The "V Sign". D. The "Corna".
57. The pilots in World War II used to make the "Thumbs-Up" sign to show _________.
A. the plane was very good
B. the plane was ready to take off
C. they were going to land on the ground
D. they were thankful to the ground crews
58. What information can we get from the passage?
A. The "V Sign" was first used by Winston Churchill.
B. Italians often use the "Thumbs-Up" to praise others.
C. You are most likely to see the "Corna" in a heavy metal music concert.
D. The "A-O" and the "Thumbs-Up" have the same meaning to divers.
59. If you travel abroad, you ’d better not use the "V Sign" in ______________.
A. Greece or Italy B. Germany or Japan
C. Ireland or Italy D. Spain or Brazil
B
难度:★★
The 1960 Presidential Debates between Vice President Nixon and ennedy were the first nationally televised de-bates in presidential campaign history. 70 million voters were given the opportunity to not only hear the candidates (候选人), but to compare them as well.
Surprisingly, there was a big difference between the TV viewers and the radio listeners. While the radio listeners clearly thought that Nixon had won the first debate, the television viewers were impressed by ennedy’s smile, charm and athletic appearance.
Now let’s think about some other situations: what if a baseball manager knew the opposing team’s signals and were able to anticipate (预期)their game plan? Likewise, as a professional salesperson, you would be wise to notice your customers’body language and adjust your presentation accordingly.
Top salespeople recognize the importance of non-verbal communication. They understand that one of the easiest and most effective ways to close sales is to be aware of their customers’buy signals. In addition to monitoring your customers’body language, it’s important to be mindful of your own gestures and keep them positive. Remember to unfold your arms, uncross your legs, nod your head in agreement and smile frequently.
atching and mirroring your body language gestures is a way of telling another that you like them and agree with them. The psychological principle behind matching and mirroring is that people want to do business with salespeople that they believe are similar to them.
In 1872, Charles Darwin published the book The Expressions in an and Animals and launched the modern study of non-verbal communication. Actually, it is a mixture of movement, posture and tone of voice.
60. The example of the 1960 Presidential Debates is used to show __________.
A. the presidential debates were always fierce
B. the debates always attracted a wide audience
C. the voters paid more attention to the candidates’debating skills
D. the voters’opinions were affected by the candidates’non-verbal communication
61. Salespeople can close sales effectively because they can __________.
A. perform body language well
B. notice their customers’body language
C. adjust their body language to their customers’
D. understand what their customers’are saying
62. Charles Darwin wrote the book The Expressions in an and Animals to _________.
A. report his research on body language
B. conclude man can learn a lot from animals
C. teach people how to communicate with animals
D. show the big difference between man and animals
C

In the US and Canada winter swimmers are called Polar Bears, but in Finland they’re just called Finns. Why and how do people swim in near-freezing water during the winter?
An ice hole in a lake, sub-zero (零度以下的) temperatures, a bathing suit, a wool cap, gloves, and shoes are for some people the perfect conditions for a quick dip in the water. Winter swimming is an activity that I never thought of before moving to Finland, but those who take part in the cold-water sport absolutely love it.
y Finnish friend atariina is the winter swimming leader of a group of international friends. She has been winter swimming for three years, and says, "every time I get out of the water, I have a new level of energy. "atariina has persuaded many people, both Finns and foreigners, to try this sport, and has a group of winter swimming lovers who swim with her twice per week.
The best conditions for winter swimming are -15 to -20 degrees with no wind. atariina says that the hardest part, especially for beginners, is to psych (做好思想准备) yourself up for the water; but once you do, it feels great. Swimmers only stay in the water for 30-60 seconds before getting out, getting dressed, and heading to the comfort of their warm cars. Winter swimmers do not put their heads in the water in case of hypothermia (体温过低).
atariina says that foreigners who go winter swimming feel proud of themselves, and happy that they have tried it at least once.
63. What are Finns and Polar Bears, according to this passage?
A. They are people who love winter swimming.
B. The names of animals living in Finland and at the South Pole.
C. They are beginners at winter swimming.
D. The people of Finland.
64. What are perfect conditions for winter swimming?
A. A lake with ice, but warm weather.
B. A warm car, and a frozen lake nearby.
C. An icy lake of -15℃to -20℃without wind.
D. A bathing suit, a wool cap and gloves.
65. What’s the most difficult for winter swimming beginners?
A. Preparing things for winter swimming.
B. Persuading themselves to get into the winter.
C. Getting into the water again.
D. Staying longer in the water.

Diving around Halaveli Island was a really unforgettable experience. I participated in a day diving trip that had lunch on the boat. We went to aalhoss Thila first. The current (水流) can be very strong here but we were lucky and had a mild one. We enjoyed all the different colors of coral and fish. The maximum depth of this dive was 30m, and we stayed for about 40 minutes. The water was reasonably warm, so I was not cold only wearing a short-sleeved wetsuit.
I was a bit worried about having lunch on the boat, as sometimes my stomach feels bad, but it was perfectly fine this time —perhaps because the boat had not stopped and was moving toward the other dive place, or because the size of the boat was reasonably large.
Our next diving place was called anta. And as expected, the huge anta was soon around us. It is one of the most exciting moments I have had in my life. We only dove to 14m this time, which allowed us to stay a bit longer —almost 50 minutes.
On the way back all the women took strategic position on the deck, sunbathing and relaxing, while the men were getting bored and ate the leftovers from lunch. No matter how different we were, we all enjoyed our trip.
Another dive I would like to recommend(推荐)is called aaya Thila, and it is the best night dive I have ever had. We saw a huge turtle sleeping in a cave, and sharks playfully chasing each other. They did not look friendly at all, but fortunately they did not decided to have us for dinner. But anyway what happened that night under water will remain a fond memory to be retold on special occasions by all the participants. It will be told with a smile on our faces.

A. The author enjoyed different colors of fish in anta.
B. Diving in aaya Thila is one of the most unforgettable experience for the author.
C. The author dove into aaya Thila and stayed there for 50 minutes.

C. the boat was not big enough

4. We learn from the last paragraph that ________.
A. aaya Thila was only suitable for a night dive
B. many people had been killed at aaya Thila
C. aaya Thila is popular among all the participants
D. few people have the courage to dive at aaya Thila
5. The author wrote this passage to ________.

Trying to get bigger? We have some eating and exercising tips that will help
you gain weight! First, to build muscle mass you have to do the right exercise. Weight training is good because it uses resistance which builds muscle mass. ake sure to ask
your coaches, PE teacher or a doctor for help before using weights —they can be dangerous to your health if you don’t use them the right way, or if you’re too young. Second, cut out foods that are fried, like French fries, chicken nuggets and fish sticks. Choose healthy foods like baked chicken, fish and potatoes. Then, make sure to drink healthy beverages like water, milk and fruit juice. Stay away from high-sugar sodas —they add bad calories and have no nutrition. It’s also a good idea to eat a lot of protein, 30 minutes after a workout. Once again, this will help build muscle mass. If you eat a lot of healthy food and mix it in with weight training or resistance-based exercises, you will gain good weight.
