1．Body language is important for communication in every language.If you really want to be fluent and communicate effectively with English speakers，you will need to understand what types of body language they use.
What Exactly is Body Language？
Body language is the movement of facial features or body parts，which intentionally（有意地）or unintentionally express thoughts and attitudes.Here are three key types：
Facial expressions：A smile，a slight frown or a straight face are all different expressions that add another layer （層）of meaning to what you are saying.Eye contact is an especially significant part of body language that you need to pay attention to while speaking English or listening to someone else.
Hand gestures：When you talk，do you move your hands around or do you keep them at your side？Folded arms，hands on hips or hands in pockets can create different messages even if you are saying the same words.
Body position：The position of your body also means a lot.Leaning forward while somebody is speaking or how far you stand apart from your audience----it all matters.
How to Practice English Body Language
While learning how to speak English takes a lot of work，from mastering grammar to perfecting pronunciation，body language requires the same attention and investment（投入）.What makes it even more challenging is that body language varies from culture to culture.For example，did you know that in Bulgaria，people nod their heads up and down to mean"no"？
Therefore，you need to learn body language from real native English speakers.But how can you practice if you are not currently living with English speakers or in an English-speaking region？
（1）Which of the following is a facial expression？
A．Giving your brother a bear hug.
B．Saying hello to your friend.
C．Nodding to your boss in the meeting.
D．Raising your eyebrows on seeing a dog.
（2）What causes more difficulties in learning body language？
A．The cultural differences.
B．The changing gestures.
C．A lack of communication.
D．A lack of professional training.
（3）What will be written in the following paragraphs？
A．The history of body language.
B．The advantages of body language.
C．The ways of practicing body language.
D．The problems of learning body language.組卷：3引用：3難度：0.5 -
2．Rehan Staton recently found out he was accepted to Harvard Law School.For him，the sky's the limit，but it wasn't always that way.
The 24-year-old college student was raised by a single father who worked three different jobs，breaking his back.But，despite his father's best efforts，financial burdens steadily mounted.Staton's study had suffered but he kept pushing himself forward.He said growing up was tough and he used to struggle in school.One teacher even suggested he switch to a special education class.
But with help from a free tutor，Staton's grades improved.He continued to improve academically while training to be a professional boxer in high school.However，his choices for college dwindled after suffering an injury，which ruined the chances of him turning professional in sports.He was rejected from every school he applied to.
So to help support his family，Staton took a job collecting trash at a local sanitation company，which he said changed his life in ways he never imagined. "Most of my coworkers were formerly imprijye.ained.So，it caught me by surprise how much the people on the bottom of the society uplifted me and really wanted me to make something of myself，" he told the reporter. "They encouraged me to reapply to college.They had nothing but uplifting words for me and my future."
Through persistence，he took the LSAT and applied to nine schools—getting accepted to five.Ultimately，he decided to commit to Harvard Law School—and he'll never forget all the people who helped him get there. "Throughout this time，people ask me，'How did you do it？' it's more so how could I not do it when everyone is breaking their backs for me，and pushing me to win." Staton said. "When you have a support system，you want to give them your best shot.Because as much as you're investing into yourself，you have others investing into you too."

3．The idea of low material desire，low consumption and refusing to work，marry and have children，concluded as a "lying down" lifestyle，recently struck a chord with many young Chinese who are eager to take pause to breathe in this fast-paced and highly-competitive society.
Many millennials（千禧一代）and generation Zs complained to the Global Times that burdens，including work stress，family disputes and financial strains，have pushed them "against the wall".They said they hate the "involution（內(nèi)卷），" joking that they would rather give up some of what they have than get trapped in an endless competition against peers.
"Instead of always following the 'virtues' of struggle，endure and sacrifice to bear the stresses，they prefer a temporary lying down as catharsis（宣泄）and adjustment，" said a scholar. "It is no wonder that some young people，under the growing pressures from child-raising to paying the mortgage（按揭）today，would try to live in a simple way and leave the worries behind."
Interestingly，the majority of millennials and Gen Zs reached by the Global Times，who claim to be big fans of the lying down philosophy，acknowledged that they only accept a temporary lying down as a short rest.It is true that with the great improvement of living conditions，some Chinese youth have partially lost the spirit of hardship and are not willing to bear too much hard work.But in fact，lying down is not entirely comfortable.Young people who lie down always feel guilty about their constant loss of courage far beyond their reach.
"Young people on campus have both aspirations and confusion about their future，but most of us have rejected setting ourselves up in chains to waste opportunities and challenges，" a postgraduate student told the Global Times. "It's no use running away.I have to 'stand up' and face the reality sooner or later."
（1）What does the underlined phrase in paragraph 1 mean？
A．Warned.
B．Criticized.
C．Touched.
D．Amused.
（2）What might have caused the "lying down" lifestyle among the young？
A．Improvements in living conditions.
B．Growing pressure from family and social life.
C．Increasing material possessions from families.
D．Temporary adjustment to failure in competitions.
（3）What's the scholar's attitude toward the "lying down" group？
A．Unclear.
B．Intolerant.
C．Supportive.
D．Understanding
（4）What can be inferred about the young generation from the text？
A．They never really drop their responsibilities.
B．They really enjoy the "lying down" lifestyle.
C．They find their dreams far beyond their reach.
D．They would rather escape than take challenges.組卷：5引用：2難度：0.6 -
4．WHAT are scientists？They are often described as grey-haired white-coated dull scholars.
But the world has changed.Young scientists are making their voices heard and releasing their powers on the world stage.
This is also true in China.Rising stars include new materials expert Gong Yongji，university professor Liu Mingzhen，and biologist Wan Ruixue.
At the age of 28 in 2018，Wan Ruixue received the 2018 Science & SciLifeLab Prize for Young Scientists.This is a global prize to reward outstanding scientists at an early stage of their careers.
She focuses mainly on Biomedicine and Molecular Biology（分子生物學）. "Both are cutting-edge （尖端的） technologies at an early stage of development，" she said.
"So，I think they have great potential to be developed.I think in the study of cutting-edge technologies，China and other leading countries in the world are standing at the same starting line.And in the study of Structural Biology，China is likely to become the leader."
She felt it was her fate to become a biologist. "I grew interested in the natural world when I was very young， " she said.In 2009，she entered Sun Yat-sen University.
In her third year at university，she realized that she wanted to do something related to biomedicine.So she e-mailed China's top biologist Shi Yigong，hoping to join his lab at Tsinghua University.
She recognized her talent and welcomed her.Years of efforts at the lab have paid off.Her research on the high-definition 3-D structure of spliceosome led to a scientific breakthrough.
Unlike many of other young scientists who choose to pursue further study abroad，Wan currently has no plan to go overseas.
"The whole ecosystem for scientific research is continually improving in China，" she said，adding that the country has great science facilities.
（1）What does the underlined word "releasing" in Paragraph 2 mean？
A．Giving out.
B．Getting over.
C．Finding out.
D．Taking over.
（2）What does Wan Ruixue feel about the study of cutting-edge technologies in China？
A．Anxious.
B．Confident.
C．Disappointed.
D．Satisfied.
（3）What can we learn about Wan Ruixue's journey of becoming a biologist？
A．Her teacher led her into the field.
B．She finds it's easier than she thought.
C．Her contribution has been recognized.
D．She thinks it's boring but worth trying.
（4）Which can be the best title of the text？
A．China's Breakthrough in Science
B．Rising Young Scientists in China

5．Procrastination（拖延癥） Tech Support Choosing between immediate satisfaction and future benefit can easily lead to shortsighted decisions：Watching TV instead of going to the gym，for example，or going through social media rather than working on a challenging project．（1）
To guide individuals toward greatest choices，F(xiàn)alk Lieder，a cognitive（認知） scientist，and his colleagues designed a digital tool called a "cognitive prosthesis．" It uses artificial intelligence to match a decision's immediate reward with its long-term worth after making a to-do list．The researchers developed a set of models and algorithms（算法） that consider various elements such as a list of tasks，an individual's unwillingness to each and the amount of time available．（2）It helps to encourage that person to complete them all．
The idea was to turn the challenging projects that people pursue in the real world into a game like environment． "The point system gives people achievable goals that signal that they're making progress．" Lieder says．
（3）The results，published online in August in Nature Human Behavior，revealed that the AI support system helped people make better，faster decisions and procrastinate less-and it made them more likely to complete all the assigned tasks．In one experiment，in which the researchers presented 120 participants with a list of several writing assignments．（4）However，the rate was only 56 percent for those not using it．
Lieder says one of the current tool's limitations is that it can handle only short to-do lists．（5）At the same time，they are working with a company called Complice to integrate the tool into an existing to-do list app．The researchers also plan to run field experiments to see how well their cognitive prosthesis succeed in the real world．
A．People often struggle to do what's best for them in the long run．
B．The team tested this tool in a series of experiments with human subjects．
C．The system then assigns reward points to each task in a way that is customized．
D．And now，he and his team are trying to develop it up for a larger number of tasks．
E．They found that 85 percent of individuals who used the tool completed all their tasks．
F．A study was conducted to find a way to help people increase their decision-making ability．
G．This tool is a convincing demonstration that procrastination is something that this strategy can help with quite a lot．組卷：13引用：3難度：0.5
