Having been failed so many times in math exams, I was anxious about the subject. Every time I tried hardly to work out a math problem, I was afraid of making mistakes, that really made me feel helpless. Luckily, I met a nice math teacher in second year. She told me that I didn39。t need to worry about making mistakes because I could find out my shortings through my mistake. She always encouraged myself to try again whenever I make a mistake. Thanks to my teacher39。s encouragement, I became interesting in math and made rapid progress. My experience proves that failure was the mother of success and that we can learn a lot from our mistakes.高考題型提能練(十八)Ⅱ.1~5 EFCDGⅢ.1.解析:選B particularly“尤其,特別”。由語境可知,肢體語言在交流中非常重要,因此面對面交流往往比通過電話交流要好,尤其是當你要設(shè)法推銷東西時。故B項正確。2.解析:選D 根據(jù)下文“it will also show your emotions”可知,肢體語言不僅可以給他人留下總體印象(impression),還可以傳達你的情感。故D項正確。3.解析:選A 由下文“a false smile”以及“it is usually possible to know what someone really ...”可推知,讓肢體撒謊(lie)是件很困難的事情。故A項正確。4.解析:選C sincere“真誠的”。根據(jù)句中“between ... and a false smile”可知,空格處應(yīng)為與“false”詞義相反的單詞。故C項正確。5.解析:選B 根據(jù)語境可知,如果掌握了肢體語言的密碼,那么就很有可能知道一個人的真實用意。故B項正確。6.解析:選A 聯(lián)系上下文可知,無論他們用言語說什么,你都可以通過肢體語言來了解其真實用意。故A項正確。7.解析:選C 根據(jù)下文“Culture codes vary from one country to another”可知,盡管大多數(shù)肢體語言都是通用的,但由于國家之間存在著文化(cultural)差異,因此還有許多肢體語言具有文化特色。故C項正確。8.解析:選D clear up“清理”;cut down“削減,砍倒”;refer to“參考,涉及”;lead to“導(dǎo)致”。根據(jù)語境可知,文化差異的存在往往會導(dǎo)致誤解的產(chǎn)生。故D項正確。9.解析:選A 根據(jù)語境可知,在美國,三根伸出的手指構(gòu)成的圓圈手勢表示贊同。“sign”與“gesture”詞義相近。故A項正確。10.解析:選B 根據(jù)句中的“showing disrespect”可知,在巴西、希臘和德國該手勢表示粗魯(rude)。故B項正確。11.解析:選D shake“握手”;touch“接觸”;raise“提升”;hold“持有”。句意:異性之間通過手拉手或親吻來表達愛意是不被接受的。下文的“hold hands”是提示,故D項正確。12.解析:選C 根據(jù)語境可知,男女之間在公眾場合表達愛意,如手拉手或親吻是不被接受的(acceptable)。故C項正確。13.解析:選C 聯(lián)系上文可知,在許多亞洲文化中,異性之間在公眾場合手拉手或親吻是不被接受的,然而在亞洲的一些地方,同性之間的這些舉動卻是很普遍的。兩句間構(gòu)成轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系。故C項正確。14.解析:選A 根據(jù)上文“displays of affection”可知,在一些亞洲國家,同性之間用來表達友情的手拉手是很普遍的。故A項正確。15.解析:選D 根據(jù)生活常識可知,人們在初次見面(meet)時往往會握手。故D項正確。16.解析:選B 根據(jù)語境可知,由于初次見面時握手是恰當?shù)?,因此男女見面都可以主動握手。start a handshake“主動伸手”,符合語境。17.解析:選A 由語境可知,在印度尼西亞,除非在生意場合,否則男性不能主動和女性握手。unless“除非”,符合語境。故A項正確。18.解析:選C 聯(lián)系上文中提及的一些肢體語言在不同文化中的不同含義可知,當你去國外旅游時,為了避免出現(xiàn)一些令人尷尬的(embarrassing)錯誤,應(yīng)該在出發(fā)前了解一些當?shù)氐幕疚幕WR。故C項正確。19.解析:選D 句意同上。experience“經(jīng)歷”;develop“形成,發(fā)展”;respect“尊重”;understand“明白,獲悉,理解”。故D項正確。20.解析:選B 根據(jù)語境可知,如能事先了解不同國家的文化習(xí)俗,就能減小傷害(hurt)他人的可能性。故B項正確。Ⅳ.第一句:第一個in→at第二句:去掉been第三句:hardly→hard。 that→which第四句:second前加the第五句:mistake→mistakes第六句:myself→me。 make→made第七句:interesting→interested第八句:was→is
