阅读理解
（2021·全国·高二课时练习）Like any language, English has many variations （ 变形） in vocabulary,
spelling and pronunciation. The differences can be regional or even exist within the same city! As a Canadian who
lives in Vancouver, I have always known these differences, but I didn’t get to experience them firsthand until I began
attending an American university.
I found that there are some Canadian words that people in the US just don’t understand like “tuque”, which is a
warm, knitted hat. My friends tease me every time I use the “washroom,” as the word isn’t used in the US - “bathroom”,
“toilet” and “restroom” are often used instead. In a similar way, when I asked my friend what marks he got on his
学科网（北京）股份有限公司test, he gave me a confused look. People in the US only say “grades”.
Though certain Canadian expressions sound very different from our North American neighbor, they share the
same original language because both served as colonies（殖民地）of the former British Empire. This cultural
heritage survives through speech and language.
Unlike American English, most Canadian spellings are similar to the British words. In the US, words like
“harbour” and “colour” are spelled without the “u”. Even so, some words changed in Canada, like “aluminum”.
British people spell and pronounce this word as “aluminium”.
As a result, Canadian English has developed an identity of its own. For example, we cannot forget the most
important word in Canadian English: sorry. While it isn’t really the most important word, Canadians have a reputation
for being polite and friendly. I, for one, want to preserve that reputation and honor my Canadian roots, even while
I’m in the United States.
“Language brings with it an identity and a culture…,” wrote South African comedian Trevor Noah in his book,
Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Child. “A language barrier says ‘We’re different.’ A shared language
says ‘We’re the same’.”
5．Why might Americans fail to understand Canadians sometimes?
A．Canadian English is more challenging.
B．There exist differences in the two languages.
C．Canada is less strongly influenced by the former British Empire.
D．Canadians attach more importance to being polite and friendly.
6．Which of the following can most likely be a Canadian expression?
A．Excuse me, where’s the bathroom?
B．The girl student got good grades on her exams.
C．I’m sorry that he laboured all day in the harbour.
D．The window of the toilet is made of aluminium.
7．As a Canadian, the writer.
A．never sees the difference between different kinds of English
B．is always looked down upon by his friends in the US
C．found great difficulty adapting to university life in the US
D．does not want to lose his identity as a Canadian
8．We can learn from the text that.
A．language is an important carrier of culture
B．most of the languages have the same origin
C．one culture’s meat is another culture’s poison
D．honesty is the key to crossing the language barrier
【答案】5．B 6．C 7．D 8．A
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了加拿大英语的独具一格，说明了语言定义了一个国家的
学科网（北京）股份有限公司身份。
5．细节理解题。根据文章第一段“As a Canadian who lives in Vancouver, I have always known these differences,
but I didn’t get to experience them firsthand until I began attending an American university.(作为一个生活在温哥
华的加拿大人，我一直知道这些差异，但直到我进入美国大学才亲身体验到它们。)”和第二段“I found
that there are some Canadian words that people in the US just don’t understand like “tuque”, which is a warm, knitted
hat.(我发现有一些加拿大词汇是美国人根本不懂的，比如tuque，它是一种暖和的针织帽。)”及本段作者举
其它两个例子可知，美国人有时听不懂加拿大人的话是因为这两种语言存在差异。故选B。
6．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“My friends tease me every time I use the “washroom,” as the word isn’t used
in the US - “bathroom”, “toilet” and “restroom” are often used instead. (每次我用“washroom”这个词的时候，
我的朋友们都会取笑我，因为美国人不用这个词，而是用“bathroom”、“toilet”和“restroom”来代替。)”
和“People in the US only say “grades”.(美国人只说“grades”。)”可知，bathroom、toilet和grades是美国的表
达，选择项A、B、D错误；第四段“In the US, words like “harbour” and “colour” are spelled without the “u”.(
在美国，像“harbour”和“colour”这样的单词在拼写时不带“u”。)”可知，加拿大的单词labour和harbour
是带“u”的，所以选择项C正确。故选C。
7．细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“I, for one, want to preserve that reputation and honor my Canadian roots,
even while I’m in the United States. (就我个人而言，我想保持这种声誉，尊重我的加拿大血统，即使我身在
美国。)”可知，作者作为加拿大人，不想失去加拿大人的特征。故选D。
8．推理判断题。根据文章第三段“This cultural heritage survives through speech and language.(这种文化遗产
通过言语和语言得以保存。)”和最后一段“Language brings with it an identity and a culture…,” wrote South
African comedian Trevor Noah in his book, Born a Crime: Stories From a South African Child. (语言带来了一种
身份和文化……”南非喜剧演员特雷弗·诺亚在他的书《生而犯罪:一个南非孩子的故事》中写道。)”可推断，
语言是文化的重要载体。故选A。
语法填空
（2020·全国·高二课时练习）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（1个单词）或括号内单词的正确形
式。
Few words ___37___ (speak) more often every day on the streets of Britain than “I’m sorry”. This phrase has
become such a common ____38____ (respond) that it has taken on a lot of meanings. Sorry means to apologize.
This is simple and easy to understand. But in Britain, it takes on another meaning. It is a ___39___ (culture)
expression. Imagine this: a man walks down the street, ____40____ (look) down at his phone. A woman is walking in
the opposite direction, toward the man. She sees him, but she can’t get out of the way in time. The man ___41___
(knock) into the woman. Naturally, the man should say sorry, because it was he who wasn’t looking ___42___ he
was going. Yet in Britain, it is common ____43____both to apologize. Other times ___44___ may sound funny to
hear “sorry”. Some of my friends say it at restaurants, as they ask the waiter: “sorry, but can I order another drink?”
It is not to apologize, ____45____ just to express that we need the waiter. In Britain, sorry doesn’t always mean
学科网（北京）股份有限公司____46____ (exact) what you think.
【答案】37．are spoken 38．response 39．cultural 40．looking 41．knocks 42．where 43．for
44．it 45．but 46．exactly
【解析】
37．考查一般现在时态的被动语态。句意：在英国街头，每天说的最多的一句话是“I 'm sorry”。该句主语
words是复数形式，和speak之间是一种被动关系，且句子在说一个客观事实，所以句子用一般现在时态的
被动语态，故填are spoken。
38．考查名词。句意：这个短语已经成为一种常见的回应，它已经有了很多含义。句中 common是形容词，
修饰名词，再根据前面的a，故填response。
39．考查形容词。句意：这是一种文化表达。句中expression是名词，由形容词修饰，所给词culture是名
词，其形容词是cultural“文化的”，故填cultural。
40．考查现在分词作伴随状语。句意：想象一下:一个男人走在街上，低头看手机。此处句子主语man和
look之间是一种主动关系，是现在分词作伴随状语，故填looking。
41．考查一般现在时态和主谓一致。句意：男人撞到了女人。这里再说一个客观事实，根据上下文可知句
子用一般现在时态，且句子主语是The man，单数第三人称，故填knocks。
42．考查宾语从句。句意：当然，这个男人应该道歉，因为是他没有看到他要去哪里。结合句意可知此处
是where引导的地点状语从句作look的宾语。故填where。
43．考查介词。句意：然而在英国，双方道歉是很常见的。此处it是形式主语，动词不定式的复合结构做
真正主语，即it is +形容词+for sb. to do sth.结构，故填for。
44．考查it用法。句意：其他时候，听到“对不起”可能听起来很有趣。此处it是形式主语，动词不定式
是真正主语，故填it。
45．考查固定搭配。句意：这不是道歉，只是表示我们需要服务员。固定搭配：not…but…“不是……而
是……”。故填but。
46．考查副词。句意：在英国，“对不起”并不总是你所想的那样。此处是副词修饰动词。故填exactly。

（2022·安徽安庆·二模）Getting computers to understand human body language is no simple task. Let’s break
down the steps to get a good understanding of what your body language is saying.
First, the computer needs to see. So, it needs a camera. But a computer doesn’t see like we do, and it only gets
a stream of data from the camera. So, software first has to recognize the shape of a human body, and then map out
the key points of our body. Some poor souls have to teach a computer what all of our different body parts look like
in lots of different lighting conditions, and lots of different body types.
But understanding that an image contains an elbow, a knee, or a face doesn’t do much good. So, now the
computer is paying close attention to our faces and our hands. Classifying emotions as body language and facial
expressions is literally in our genes, so it comes pretty easily.
学科网（北京）股份有限公司But computers need to see a ton of examples of any given kind of body language, then to be told what that body
language is or means, and then they can, over time, and with more and more examples, identify that same or similar
stance with that emotion.
If I’m a self-driving car approaching a crosswalk and I see an upheld hand in front of me, I can infer the human
wants me to stop as they intend to cross the street. If I instead see that same human using the “move along” gesture,
that’s a strong indication that they would prefer me to continue on my journey instead of waiting. A car has just read
your body language.
9．What is the most important for computers to understand human body language?
A．A camera. B．A stream of data. C．Software. D．A lighting condition.
10．Why are emotions divided into body language and facial expressions?
A．To encourage people to know about genes. B．To make computers watch emotions closely.
C．To save the time of analysing a ton of data. D．To get computers to recognise them easily.
11．What does the underlined word “stance” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．Attitude. B．Meaning. C．Behavior. D．Expression.
12．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．How Computers Read Body Language B．When Self-driving Cars Will Be Born
C．Why Emotions Are of Importance D．What the Unknown Future Holds
【答案】9．C 10．D 11．B 12．A
【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了计算机理解人类肢体语言的详细步骤。
9．细节理解题。根据第二段中“So, software first has to recognize the shape of a human body, and then map out
the key points of our body.(所以，软件首先要识别人体的形状，然后绘制出我们身体的关键点)”可知，要让
计算机理解人类的肢体语言，最重要的是软件。故选C。
10．推理判断题。根据第三段“But understanding that an image contains an elbow, a knee, or a face doesn’t do
much good. So, now the computer is paying close attention to our faces and our hands. Classifying emotions as body
language and facial expressions is literally in our genes, so it comes pretty easily.(但理解图像中包含肘部、膝盖
或一张脸并没有多大帮助。所以，现在电脑正在密切关注我们的脸和手。将情绪归类为肢体语言和面部表
情是由我们的基因决定的，所以很容易就能做到)”以及第四段“But computers need to see a ton of examples of
any given kind of body language, then to be told what that body language is or means, and then they can, over time,
and with more and more examples, identify that same or similar stance with that emotion.(但是计算机需要看到大
量的任何一种肢体语言的例子，然后被告知这种肢体语言是什么或意味着什么，然后它们可以，随着时间
的推移，通过越来越多的例子，识别出那种肢体语言情绪状况下相同或相似的意义)”可知，因为肘部、膝
盖或一张脸的图像对计算机理解人类肢体语言并没有多大好处，所以计算机关注情绪：脸（面部表情）和
手（肢体语言），把情绪被分为肢体语言和面部表情，是为了让计算机好识别它们背后的意义。故选D。
11．词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“But computers need to see a ton of examples of any given kind of body
language, then to be told what that body language is or means, and then they can, over time, and with more and more
examples, identify that same or similar stance with that emotion. (但是，计算机需要看到任何一种特定肢体语
学科网（北京）股份有限公司言的大量例子，然后被告知这种肢体语言是什么或意味着什么，然后随着时间的推移，通过越来越多的例
子，他们可以用这种情绪识别那种肢体语言情绪状况下相同或相似的 stance)”可知，计算机识别的是特定
肢体语言背后的意义，通过越来越多肢体语言的例子，计算机就可以识别出那种肢体语言情绪状况下相同
或相似的意思。故画线词意思是“意义”。A. Attitude.态度；B. Meaning.意义；C. Behavior.行为；D.
Expression.表情。故选B。
12．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Getting computers to understand human body language is no simple task. Let’s
break down the steps to get a good understanding of what your body language is saying. (让电脑理解人类的肢体
语言并不是一件简单的事情。让我们分解这些步骤，以便更好地理解你的肢体语言在说什么)”结合文章，
主要说明了计算机理解人类肢体语言的详细步骤。可知，A选项“计算机是如何识别肢体语言的”最符合
文章标题。故选A。
七选五
（2022·河北·模拟预测）Make sure to avoid the following common body-language errors, if you want to make
a good impression on your conversational partner.
Continuous nodding
Nodding at all the right times and places during a conversation can show that you’re fully engaged.
____22____, it’ll make you appear that you’re hoping to hide the fact that you’re hardly-or not even-paying attention.
Keep your head straight, your eyes forward, and only nod when appropriate.
Crossing your arms
There’s a reason why people don’t like it when their conversational partners cross their arms: It makes them
appear unwilling to talk. In the animal kingdom, we keep our arms in front of us to protect ourselves from
threats.____23____
Unsmiling
We’re not saying you should smile as if the person you’re speaking with keeps making jokes.____24____.
Smiles are also infectious, so if you start smiling, your partner will be more likely to smile too.
____25____
Keeping your eyes on your feet or the ground in front of you when speaking with another person can make you
look a bit ashamed of yourself. This is definitely the impression you don’t want to make on your listeners, especially in
formal settings where you’re being judged by everything you say and do, such as at a job interview. So try to keep
your eyes focused on the person in front of you.
Being too close
All cultures are different in terms of proper social conduct. Depending on where you live, the distance
between two people can be as close as 2 feet or as far as 5.____26____. Nobody likes having their personal space
invaded, so try and respect his or her wishes by keeping an appropriate distance.
A．Looking downward
B．But if you nod too much
C．Irregular movement of the eyes
学科网（北京）股份有限公司D．Keep smiling when the other people are talking
E．But in social life, try to keep our body as open as possible
F．However, you should try and keep a smile loaded up whenever needed
G．Whichever it is, give your conversational partner room to breathe freely
【答案】22．B 23．E 24．F 25．A 26．G
22．根据上文“Nodding at all the right times and places during a conversation can show that you’re fully
engaged.(在谈话中，在适当的时间和地点点头可以表明你完全投入)”以及后文“it’ll make you appear that
you’re hoping to hide the fact that you’re hardly-or not even-paying attention. Keep your head straight, your eyes
forward, and only nod when appropriate.(这会让人觉得你是在试图掩盖你根本不注意或者根本不注意的事实。
保持头直，眼睛向前，只在适当的时候点头)”可知，空前讲到在谈话的时候不时地点点头会让人感到你在
倾听，空后说的则是你可能只是在点头敷衍，这中间应该有个转折。故 B选项“但是如果你频频点头”符
合语境，故选B。
23．根据上文“There’s a reason why people don’t like it when their conversational partners cross their arms: It
makes them appear unwilling to talk. In the animal kingdom, we keep our arms in front of us to protect ourselves
from threats.(人们不喜欢谈话对象双臂交叉是有原因的：这会让他们看起来不愿意说话。在动物王国里，我
们把手臂放在前面来保护自己免受威胁)”可知，上文提到双臂交叉让人看起来不愿意说话，本句为本段最
后一句，对上文进行总结，说明要保持身体开放，故E选项“但是在社交生活中，尽量保持我们的身体开
放”符合语境，故选E。
24．根据上文“We’re not saying you should smile as if the person you’re speaking with keeps making jokes.(我
们并不是说你应该微笑，就像你说话的人一直在开玩笑一样)”以及后文“Smiles are also infectious, so if you
start smiling, your partner will be more likely to smile too.(微笑也是有感染力的，所以如果你开始微笑，你的
伴侣也会更有可能微笑)”可知，上文提到不要像对方在给你开玩笑一样微笑，后文提到微笑也要有感染力。
