Facial expressions are the primary way people exhibit emotion and read the feelings of others.
Happiness,sadness,disgust,fear and surprise can be communicated through facial expressions alone.But when part of
the face is masked, it becomes more difficult to recognize these cues.
If you cannot read someone else' s emotional state,your ability to empathize(共鸣）with them may be
compromised.Likewise,if your own mask is hiding your emotional state,others may not be able to empathize with
you.Wearing a mask can also make you feel more distracted and self- conscious, further weakening your connection
to others.
Fortunately,you can regain some control over communication by working with what you have left-the eyes. If
you want to increase understanding with a masked individual, you should look them in the eyes,which may be easier
said than done.Eye contact generates self- consciousness, consumes extra brain power and becomes uncomfortable
after only three seconds.But bear in mind, eye contact can also make you appear more intelligent and trustworthy.
You might be surprised how much information is conveyed(传达）by the body itself.For instance,when
someone is happy,they stand up straighter,when they are sad,they drop their head; and when they are angry,their
whole body tenses up.Learning how people use their bodies to convey emotion may help reduce the uncertainty you
feel when communicating with someone in a mask.
Become aware of your own body language, too. When engaged in a conversation, you can appear more
attentive by turning your body toward the individual, Leaning in or nodding. To let another person know you
want to start speaking , straighten your posture, or nod more frequently. Finally, he «ware that imitating the postureof another person can increase how much they like you and even agree with you.
By all means, continue the proper measures to keep yourself safe, but don't neglect your relationships as a
consequence. Social distance doesn't have to mean socially distant.
8.What will happen if you wear a mask?
A. Your fear won't be known by others.
B. Others will have difficulty understanding you.
C.You will lose the ability to empathize with others.
D. Others won't focus on your face.
9.Why is eye contact difficult?
A. It may lead to misunderstanding.
B.It requires more brain power.
C.It may cause people to believe you less.
D. It will result in social distance.
10.What does paragraph 4 and 5 mainly talk about?
A. Body language is a double-edged sword.
B.Body language can convey shocking information.
C.We should make good use of body language.
D.Be careful with your body language when talking.
11.What is the best title of this passage?
A.How do people use their bodies to convey emotion?
B.Facial expressions,the primary way of human connection.
C.Facial expressions,eye contact,body language,which is the best?
D.How do we keep socially distant to keep ourselves safe?
D
Some termite (白蚁) species have figured out how to enjoy the shelter of the huge complex nests that the insects
build without contributing to their construction. They avoid the full anger of their builder hosts by being extremely
easy-going.
Animals that live in the nests of another species without affecting them are known as inquilines. Inquiline
termites are unique among termites in being unable to make their own nests. Instead, they live in the hallways built by
another termite, Constrictotermes cyphergaster. Until now, it has been unclear how the two parties kept peaceful in
such tight quarters because termites are typically very aggressive towards outsiders.
Helder Hugo at the University of Konstanz in Germany and his colleagues collected Constrictotermes
cyphergaster’s nests in the Brazilian Cerrado and brought them into the laboratory. They then placed host and tenant
(房客) termites in either open or narrow areas and used video to track and record the ways in which the two species
reacted to each other.Right from the start, the inquiline’ termites moved around less than their hosts and interacted little with them,
even in the much narrower area. “Many times,” says Hugo, “when two unrelated groups are put together in a limited
space—such as an experimental area—the outcome is conflict with losses from both sides.” But that didn’t happen
here. Despite attacks from host termites, the tenant termites were obedient. Hosts would bite or attack the inquilines
with strong chemicals, but their targets never responded in the same way, choosing to flee. Some ignored the hosts
completely.
“We did not expect that they would never fight back,” says Hugo, noting that the inquilines are capable of
protecting their own place with mouths. “By preventing conflict going worse, inquiline termites may considerably
improve their chances of living together with their host termites peacefully.”
“Passiveness does not necessarily lead to defeat, but can be a very useful strategy, saving energy and resources,”
she adds. “Nature may not always be red in tooth and claw, and aggression is not any more successful a strategy than
‘cowardice’ (儒弱).”
12．What is the feature of the inquiline termites?
A．They live in another termite species’ nests.
B．They are aggressive towards outsiders.
C．They like to build their own nests.
D．They are communicative tenants.
13．What do you learn about the experiment in paragraph 3?
A．The differences between the two species.
B．The findings of the observation.
C．The living habits of termites.
D．The process of the research.
14．What does Hugo think of the inquiline termites’ living strategy?
A．Aggressive. B．Unacceptable. C．Effective. D．Dangerous.
15．What’s the best title for the text?
A．The Characteristics of Termites
B．Passiveness Doesn’t Necessarily Lead to DefeatC．The Relationship Between Host and Tenant Termites
D．Termites Use Cowardice to Avoid Their Hosts’ Anger

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
When the moon passes between the Sun and the Earth，the resulting view of the Sun is called a solar eclipse(日
食). Solar eclipses are beautiful astronomical events and many people across the world travel to faraway places to get
a clear view of the phenomenon. 1 ． Others choose special eyewear.
It is believed that a pregnant woman with a baby should not view a solar eclipse. They are often told that their
child will be badly formed if they view a solar eclipse. However, various scientific authorities have stated over and
over again that there is no harm at all in viewing a solar eclipse with the right eye gear. 2 ．
It is important, however, that you view a solar eclipse with the right eye gear. Staring right at the sun could
permanently damage the eyes. It is wrong to assume that the sun can be looked at after the moon blocks out a majority
of it. 3 ．
If you want to view the eclipse, you have to get special glasses. As opposed to popular belief, sunglasses and
dark films do NOT protect our eyes. 4 ． You can do this by fixing a telescope and focusing the image onto a sheet
of paper. You can clearly see the eclipse on the sheet of paper. You should never look directly at the eclipse through
the telescope.
Similarly, you can make a tiny hole on an opaque(不透明的) sheet of paper and let the light passing through fall
on a sheet of paper. 5 ． Alternatively, you can watch it live on TV which is the safest way of viewing a solar eclipse!
A．It is best if you purchase eye wear.
B．So they need not worry to view a solar eclipse.
C．Viewing a solar eclipse directly is a strict no-no.
D．Some of them watch the event through special, telescopes.
E.This method is an effective way to watch an eclipse as well.
F.To safely watch a solar eclipse, wear protective eclipse glasses.
G.The best way to see a solar eclipse is by viewing its projected image.第二部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）
