18、im in contempt(蔑视) as an unimportant dog. The dog apologized for being this quality of animal and expressed regret in fine form, but he continued stealthily to follow the child.When the child reached his doorstep, the dog was a few yards behind, moving slowly toward him. He became so anxious with sh
19、ame when he again faced the child that he forgot the dragging rope. He tripped(绊倒) upon it and fell forward.The child sat down on the step and the two had another interview. During it the dog greatly exerted himself to please the child. He performed a few playful jumps with such abandon(放任) that the
20、 child suddenly saw him to be a valuable thing. He made a swift, greedy charge(猛冲) and seized the rope.He dragged his captive(俘虏) into a hall and up many long stairways in a dark building. The dog made willing efforts, but he could not walk very skillfully up the stairs because he was very small and
21、 soft, and at last the pace of the child grew so energetic that the dog became panicstricken. In his mind he was being dragged toward somewhere unknown. His eyes grew wild with the terror of it. He began to wiggle his head wildly and to brace his legs.The child redoubled his efforts. They had a batt
22、le on the stairs. The child was victorious because he was completely absorbed in his purpose, and because the dog was very small. He dragged his acquirement to the door of his home, and finally with victory across the doorway.No family member was in. The child sat down on the floor and made overture

26、ddelighted.C. Guiltyanxiousnervouspleased. D. Angryregrettedscaredpuzzled.CFacial 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
27、masked, it becomes more difficult to recognize these cues.If you cannot read someone elses 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 mak
28、e you feel more distracted and selfconscious, further weakening your connection to others.Fortunately, you can regain some control over communication by working with what you have leftthe eyes. If you want to increase understanding with a masked individual, you should look them in the eyes, which ma
29、y be easier said than done. Eye contact generates selfconsciousness, 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 th
30、e 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
31、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, be
32、aware that imitating the posture of 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 dont neglect your relationships as a consequence. Social distance doesnt have to mean socially distant.()28. What will

Others wont focus on your face.()29. Why is eye contact difficult?A. It may lead to misunderstanding. B. It requires more brain pow
34、er.C. It may cause people to believe you less. D. It will result in social distance.()30. What does Paragraph 4 and 5 mainly talk about?A. Body language is a doubleedged sword.B. Body language can convey shocking information.C. We should make good use of body language.D. Be careful with your body la
35、nguage when talking.()31. 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 connectionC. Facial expressions, eye contact, body language, which is the best?D. How do we keep socially distant to keep ourselves saf
36、e?DI often find peacefulness in a soaring stone church, a cool open place to sit and contemplate. The giant trunklike pillars(柱子) and the gentle play of the light cast through a churchs stained glass windows create a shaded garden of stone and multicolored light.Glass itself is one of the fruits of
37、the art of fire. It is a fusion(熔接) of the Earths rocks melted at high temperatures. Glasss liquidlike structure is one of the main reasons it is transparent(透明 的)However, “transparent” does not necessarily mean that all light can pass through it. Some obsidian(黑曜石) glasses are so darkly colored tha
38、t they are effectively black and opaque(不透光的). This is because electrons of some elements in the obsidian are arranged in such a way that their_energy is the same as the energy of visible light.This ability of certain elements to absorb light and give color is used to great effect in stained glass w
39、indows. For example, adding cobalt oxide(氧化钴) to the glass during melting will make it blue because cobalt absorbs wavelengths at the red end of the spectrum(光谱) but does not absorb blue. These colors were discovered by the ancients through trial and error, adding different minerals to the melting p
40、ot and melting for different periods of time, even though they had no idea what caused them.The term “stained glass” telescopes(精简) three different processes: coloring, staining and painting, each one complex and requiring the application of many skills. In the mid16th century, however, different co
41、lored enamels(珐琅) began to be used. It has been said that the appearance of enameling was the death of the great stained glass window artists. I am not sure if this is true, but I do know that standing in front of a great stained glass window is a magical experience. Next time you are in a soaring c
42、athedral, take a moment to admire the windows.()32. Why does the author write this passage?A. To show the actual way to make stained glass.B. To express his appreciation of stained glass.C. To talk about the function of stained glass.D. To review the history of stained glass.()33. What does “their e
43、nergy” underlined in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The energy of high temperatures. B. The energy of obsidian glasses.C. The energy of some electrons. D. The energy of all elements.()34. How is stained glass made?A. By melting some of the Earths rocks with sun energy.B. By painting some colors on rocks be
44、fore melting them.C. By absorbing fire and sunlight to make varied colors.D. By adding some minerals to glass when it is melted.()35. What can we know from the last paragraph?A. Stained glass was invented in the mid16th century.B. Making enamels was more complex than making stained glass.C. The numb

The author admiringly welcomes the change caused by colored enamels.第二节(共5小题； 每小题2.5分，满分12.5 分)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。You may have grown up living with lots of siblings, or this may be your first time sharing your liv
