10、极限,通常来说,出生时就已经定型了。但他是否能够达到这些极限则取决于他所处的环境。根据depend on可知,主语从句含有不确定因素,可排除C项。where表示地点;why表示原因,用于此处不合适;而使用whether表示“是否”,与题意吻合。14I made a promise to myself_this year,my first year in high school,would be different.(2012浙江,4)Awhether BwhatCthat Dhow答案C解析that引导同位语从句,在从句中不作句子成分,补充说明promise的内容。15It doesnt ma

35、nvitationsCfeelings Dmessages答案D解析根据上文的“身体语言是最有力量的语言”可知,我们的身体传递出比我们意识到的更多的信息,所以messages符合句意。3A.hope BreceiveCdiscover Dmean答案D解析本句意为:实际上,非言语交际大约占我们所要表达的真正意思的50%。mean意思是,本意是。4A.immediate BmisleadingCimportant Ddifficult答案C解析上文说到身体语言在交际中的作用,本句则说明身体语言在跨文化交流时的重要作用,所以使用important。5A.well BfarCmuch Dlong答案

37、C解析由下文描述的挪威人不断地后退可知,北欧人不喜欢与其他人有身体上的(bodily)接触,所以C项正确。9A.strangers BrelativesCneighbours Denemies答案A解析与前面的even with friends构成对比,此处应表示“陌生人”。10A.in other words Bon the other handCin a similar way Dby all means答案B解析与北欧人的习俗构成对比,拉丁美洲人喜欢肢体接触,所以此处用on the other hand“另一方面”,表示转折。in other words换句话说;in a similar
38、 way类似方式地;by all means当然可以。11A.trouble BconversationCsilence Dexperiment答案B解析由于习俗不同,所以挪威人与拉丁美洲人在谈话(conversation)时,就会出现拉丁美洲人追着挪威人说话的情形,故选B项。12A.disturbing BhelpingCguiding Dfollowing答案D解析根据上题解析,拉丁美洲人追着挪威人,所以使用following。13A.closer BfasterCin Daway答案A解析谈话过程中拉丁美洲人一直在靠近挪威人,所以使用closer。14A.stepping forward

48、ay to relax,he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months.”可以看出,妻子离家后,Brad期待着在第一个休假日里放松一下自己,故C项符合题意。A项并不是Brad想做的;B、D两项内容并不是与孩子一起进行的活动,这在后文也有体现,因此错误。2Which of the following did Randy do?ADrawing on the wall. BEating apple jam.CFeeding
49、 the fish. DReading in a room.答案B解析细节理解题。根据第四段的描述可以看出,A项是Mike做的;B项是Randy做的;C项是Alex做的;D项是对文中信息“Randy,thankfully,appeared to be reading quietly in the family room,but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands.”的曲解。3Why did Brad ask the daycare centr

62、 also have significant health effects.Environmental Protection Agency studies indicate that indoor levels of pollutants may be 35 times,and occasionally more than 100 times,higher than outdoor levels.These levels of indoor air pollutants may be of particular concern because most people spend about 9
63、0% of their time indoors.There are many sources of indoor air pollution in any home.These include sources such as oil,gas,coal,wood,and tobacco products,building materials,wet or damp carpet,and furniture made of certain pressed wood products,products for household cleaning and maintenance,personal
