【解析】短文介绍了一位叫约瑟夫的老师。他出生在非洲的肯尼亚,15岁的时候,他来到美国学习,后来成为一名教师,给学生们讲授美国历史。他认为了解美国和其他国家的文化差异对美国孩子来说是非常重要。现在正在做一个希望工程。

1句意:他给学生们讲授美国历史。形容词性物主代词修饰名词students,故答案为his。

2句意:但他出生在非洲的肯尼亚。Kenya是非洲的一个国家,在某个国家要用介词in,故答案为in。

3句意:一个十岁的男孩可能会花更多的时间来照顾奶牛而不是在学校学习。根据句中的连词than判断,此句是一个比较级的句子,much的比较级为more。

4句意:孩子们也学到了很多技能,比如如何在野外生活。many后跟可数名词的复数形式,故答案为skills。

5句意:幸运的是,当他15岁的时候,他来到美国学习,后来成为一名教师。作为一个贫困地区的孩子有机会到美国学习是幸运的,此处要用副词来修饰后面的整个句子,故答案为luckily。

6句意:幸运的是,当他15岁的时候,他来到美国学习,后来成为一名教师。动词不定式用作目的状语,到美国是来学习的,故答案为to come。

7句意:约瑟夫写了一本叫《面向狮子》的书一本叫做……的书,表示泛指,book是以辅音音素开头前面用不定冠词a。

8句意:他认为了解美国和其他国家的文化差异对美国孩子来说是非常重要的。it是省略that的宾语从句中的形式主语,后面的动词不定式是真正的主语。故答案为it。

9句意:他认为了解美国和其他国家的文化差异对美国孩子来说是非常重要的。between …and…在……和……之间。结合句意可知,答案为and。

10句意:现在约瑟夫正在做一个希望工程。根据now判断,句子的时态为现在进行时,其构成为am / is / are + doing,主语是第三人称单数,故答案为is doing。

【题目】Have you ever been in the situation when you really didn’t believe what someone was saying? Perhaps they were saying “yes” but their heads were shaking “no”. The difference between the words people say and our understanding of what they are saying comes from body language. By knowing more signs of body language, you can more easily understand other people, and more effectively communicate with them. Movements, gestures, and facial expressions all say that something is going on. What’s more, the way we talk, walk, sit and stand all give messages to people. As you watch others, confident people will stand still with shoulders back, give slow and clear speech and always give eye contact. Otherwise, the person seems to have little confidence. If a person speaks to you with his body turning away from you, arms crossed or very small facial expressions, this person is giving his “dead ears”. He usually doesn’t listen to you. And it’s crucial to know when people are lying. Some of the typical signs that a person is lying include: A person gives little or no eye contact, or there may be fast eye movements. Hand or fingers are in front of his or her mouth when speaking. His skin changes in color, red in face or neck area. Voice changes, etc. However, one size does not fit all. When you watch others, you need to try to guess what they are saying or guess what is going on. but it is also important to recognize that body language may vary between individuals, and between different cultures and nationalities.

【题目】阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。

Erden Eruc has rowed across the Pacific Ocean in a rowboat since he left California in November last year. He has been heading for Australia with only birds, fish, and sharks ever since.

Crossing the Pacific is only part of journey. Eruc has decided to go all the way around the world using his own energy. He will row, bike, walk and climb the world without help from any motors at all. His plan includes climbing the tallest top on six of the continents along the way.

For the first part of his trip, he rode 5,546 miles from Seattle, Washington to Mount McKinley in Alaska and back, walked 67 miles to base camp, and climbed 20,320 feet to McKinley’s top. Now in the second part of his adventure, he is rowing to Australia.

Why would he try to go around the world this way? He explains that he wants to encourage kids to realize their dreams and to get their own goals. He wants to show kids that there might be hard parts along the way, and sometimes they might not even get that final goal. But they can have great adventures and learn a lot along the way.

Eruc has already faced some difficulties. For example, winds and waves keep pushing him westward when he wants to go south towards the Solomon Islands. If his luck doesn’t change, he will cheerfully change his plan, and aim to land at Papua New Guinea. In one way or another, he’s sure he’ll get to his next goal: Australia.

When his trip around the world takes him across land, he enjoys meeting people – especially children. He has already visited many schools and shared his story. Eruc encourages all kids to set their eyes on a goal and not give up. He says, “With goals, we will make progress, and we will be farther along than when we started, even if we don’t get some goals. That’s called life!”

1Has Erden Eruc rowed across the Pacific Ocean ?

2What has Erden Eruc decided to do using his own energy?

3How many miles did Erden Eruc walk to base camp?

4Where is he going to in the near future?

5Why would he try to go around the world this way?
