Part ⅠReading Comprehension(30%)
Passage 1: Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage: We use both words and gestures to express our feelings, but the problem is that these words and gestures can be understood in different ways.It is true a smile means the same thing in any language.So does laughter or crying.There are also a number of striking similarities in the way different animals show the same feelings.Dogs, tigers and humans, for example, often show their teeth when they are angry.This is probably because they are born with those behavior patterns.Fear is another emotion that is shown in much the same way all over the world.(76)In Chinese and in English literature, a phrase like “he went pale and began to tremble” suggests that the man is either very afraid or he has just got a very big shock.However, “he opened his eyes wide” is used to suggest anger in Chinese whereas in English it means surprise.In Chinese “surprise” can be described in a phrase like “they stretched out their tongues!” Sticking out yo
ur tongue in English is an insulting gesture or expresses strong dislike.Even in the same culture, people differ in ability to understand and express feelings.Experiments in America have shown that women are usually better than men at recognizing fear, anger, love and happiness on people’s faces.Other studies show that older people usually find it easier to recognize or understand body language than younger people do.(B)1.According to the passage, _______.A.we can hardly understand what people’s gestures mean B.we cannot often be sure what people mean when they describe their feelings in words or gestures C.words can be better understood by older stures can be understood by most of the people while words cannot(B)2.People’s facial expressions may be misunderstood because _________.A.people of different ages may have different understanding B.people have different cultures C.people of different sex may understand a gesture in a different way D.people of different countries speak different languages(A)3.In the same culture ________.A.people have different ability to understand and express feelings B.people have the same understanding of something C.people never fail to understand each other D.people are equally intelligent(C)4.From this passage, we can conclude __________.A.w

By adopting a few simple techniques, parents who read to their children can greatly increase their children’s language development.It is surprising but true.(77)How parents talk to their children makes a big difference in the children’s language development.If a parent encourages the children to actively respond to what the parent is reading, the child’s language skills increase.A study was done with 30 three-year-old children and their parents.Half of the children participated in the experimental study；the other half acted as the control group.In the experimental group, the parents were given a two-hour training session in which they were taught to ask open-ended questions rather than yes-or-no questions.For example, the parent should ask, “What is the doggie doing?” rather than “Is the doggie running away?”(78)The parents in the experimental group were also instructed i
n how to help children find answers, how to suggest alternative possibilities and how to praise correct answers.At the beginning of the study, the children did not differ in measures of language development, but at the end of one month, the children in the experimental group showed 5.5 months ahead of the control group on a test of verbal expression and vocabulary.Nine months later, the children in the experimental group still showed an advance of 6 months over the children in the control group.(D)6.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
