举一反三
阅读理解。     When you don"t speak, you may be still communicating. It is true that you may not wish to say anything.
But your very silence may show your wish to be left alone or to stay uninvolved (不参与的), which is the
message you want to send.
     So it has been said that while we speak with our vocal organs (发声器官), we converse with our whole
bodies. All of us communicate with one another nonverbally, as well as with words. Sometimes we know
what we"re doing, as with the use of gestures such as the thumbs-up sign to indicate (表明) that we approve
(赞成).But most of the time we"re not aware (意识到的) that we are doing it.
     Body language serves a variety of purposes. Firstly it can replace verbal communication, as with the use
of gesture. Secondly, it can modify (修饰) verbal communication. Loudness and tone of voice is an example
here. Thirdly it regulates (约束) social interaction: taking turns is largely governed by non-verbal signals.
Fourthly it conveys (表达) our emotions. Finally it conveys our attitude towards ourselves and towards the
people we are communicating with. This is particularly important for successful cross-cultural communications.
     Every culture has its own body language. So in order to achieve a more successful cross-cultural
communication, we heed (留意) not only what to say but also how to say it appropriately. Observation shows
that a truly bilingual (会说两种语言的) person switches (转换) his body language at the same time he switches
languages. 1. The underlined word "converse" in the second paragraph can be replaced by _____. [     ]
A. continue
B. communicate
C. complain

A. the fact that body language serves a variety of purposes
B. the fact that body language can modify verbal communication
C. the fact that body language can regulate social interaction
D. the fact that body language conveys our attitude 3. It is implied that a more successful cross-cultural communication can be achieved _____. [     ]
A. if we keep the same body language
B. if we verbally express ourselves clearly
C. if we change our body language at the same time we change our words
D. if we change our body language from time to time 4. Body language varies _____. [     ]
A. from year to year
B. from culture to culture
C. from time to time
D. from person to person 5. The best title for the passage is _____. [     ]

阅读理解。     Barcelona is regarded as Spain"s second city, behind capital Madrid. The city is rich in history. Barcelona
was founded by Carthaginians and according to tradition, it got its name from the great Barker family of
ancient Carpage. After numerous different conquers, including the Romans and the Moores that seriously
damaged the city, the Argons made Catalonia, of which Barcelona was the capital. Strong and prosperous,
since the 1970s, the city has formed its Catalon background. But it wasn"t until the summer Olympics in 1992
that Barcelona became the modern, lively city that it still is today. And with this prosperity have come
wonderful hotels. The Raewon Callas the 1st was opened in 1992, by the King and Queen of Spain.
     With buildings like the Casa Cal Bain and the Casa Minga, Antony Gaudy is believed to have made great
impact on the image of Barcelona. He also built the fantastic Park Quell. Antony Gaudy died in 1926, leaving

teams, Barcelona Football Club. FC Barcelona was founded in 1899 along with the other Spanish team, Real
Madrid. It"s one of the greatest football teams in Europe. With players like Maradona and Ronaldo having
played for Barca, it"s easy to explain their success! FC Barcelona is known to have won more cups than any
