If it were possible to read someone’s mind then it would be very easy to know whether a person is lying to you. Unfortunately, there is no machine which can be used to read one’s thoughts to know if they are telling the truth. Luckily, the body usually gives away clues to help you know if someone is lying or not.‎ You can use the following tips to help you know if someone is lying.‎ ‎1-Eye Contact Most people who lie to you will generally avoid eye contact. People usually make eye contact for at least half of their conversation. However, eye contact is not always effective because there are some people who will deliberately（故意地） try to make eye contact with you so that you can believe them.‎ ‎2-Defensive(辩护的)‎ Sometimes when somebody is telling a lie they will try to be overly defensive. They may even accuse you or somebody else of lying. In that case you should know that he/she has something to hide.‎ ‎3-Unusual Body Moments If a person starts moving restlessly with their hands tapping their foot, or turning away from you it could mean that they are telling you a lie. However, this technique is only effective if you know someone very well including their behaviors.‎ ‎4-Changing the subject A guilty person will often try to change the subject once they realize that you are on their tail. They will usually try to use sarcasm or humor to change the topic. In that case you should be more alert and try to refer back to the topic they were trying to avert.‎ ‎21.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A. How to Tell if One Person is Lying.‎ ‎ B. How to Distinguish True or False.‎ ‎ C. What to Do With Liars. ‎ ‎ D. What Eye Contact to Make.‎ ‎22. According to the author we can know that________?‎ ‎ A. lying to others is contrary to morality.‎ ‎ B. it is natural to know what a lie is.‎ ‎ C. everyone can avoid telling lies.‎ ‎ D. the body usually gives away the secret if someone is lying.‎ ‎23. Making eye contact with a speaker is__________.‎ ‎ A. a definitive sign to tell if a person is lying.‎ ‎ B. usually taking place during the talk.‎ ‎ C. what everyone does when telling lies.‎ ‎ D. a means to talk with others.‎ B Many people go to school for education. They learn languages, history, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a ‎ living. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He or she teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by students themselves.‎ ‎ It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula(公式). It is usually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo didn’t get anything from school. But they were all so successful.‎ The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They worked hard all their lives, not wasting a single moment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments.‎ ‎ Above all, they knew how to use their brains.‎ ‎24. According to Paragraph1, many people go to school for education, while others go to school for__________.‎ ‎ A. enjoying themselves. B. learning subjects. C. learning a skill. D. making friends.‎ ‎25. A teacher’s job is mainly to train his students to__________.‎ ‎ A. master the learning methods. B. make a living. . ‎ C. read and think. D. study all the subjects.‎ ‎26. Using a formula in working out a maths problem is ___________ memorizing a formula.‎ ‎ A. much easier than. B. more difficult than.‎ ‎ C. as easy as. D. as difficult as.‎ ‎27. The passage mainly tells us____________.‎ ‎ A. The scientists worked harder than us. ‎ B. Schools can teach us everything we want to know. ‎ C. We go to school to receive education and we should know how to learn. ‎ D. Without schools, we can learn more by ourselves.‎ C Mr. White sold kinds of machines to farmers, which he thought was not really a very exciting ‎ job, but he had always been interested in traveling on business.‎ He had a big car, and usually enjoyed driving long distances, but he was also quite satisfied to go by train sometimes, especially when the weather was bad. He was a little frightened of driving in the rain or snow, and it was less tiring to sit comfortably in a train and look out of the windows without being worried about how to get to the next place.‎ One of Mr. White’s problems was often where to stay when he reached some small places in the country. He did not expect timely and wonderful food, but he found it annoying(令人恼火的) when he was given a cold room, and when there was no hot water after a long and tiring journey.‎ Later one winter evening, Mr. White arrived at a small railway station. The journey by train that day had not been at all interesting, and Mr. White was cold and tired and hungry. He was looking forward to a simple but satisfying meal by a brightly burning fire, and then a hot bath and a comfortable bed.‎ While he was walking to the taxi stand, he said to a local man who was also walking there, “As this is my first visit to this part of the country and I was in too much of a hurry to find out the hotels before I left home, I would very much like to know how many hotels you have here.”‎ The local man answered, “We have two.”‎ ‎“And which of the two would you advise me to go to?” Mr. White asked then.‎ The local man scratched(抓挠) his head for a moment and then answered, “Well, it’s like this—whichever one you go to, you’ll be sorry you don’t go to the other.”‎ ‎28.What was Mr. White according to the passage ?‎ ‎ A. He was a salesman. B. He was a businessman. ‎ ‎ C. He was a traveler. D. He was a reporter.‎ ‎29. After he got to his destination(目的地)，Mr. White most expected to_________.‎ ‎ A. have timely and delicious food. ‎ ‎ B. get a warm and comfortable room with hot water. ‎ ‎ C. make many friends to sell machines to farmers. ‎ ‎ D. sell machines well and earn much money.‎ ‎30. On a rainy day, Mr. white preferred to travel_________.‎ ‎ A. on his own car. B. by bus. C. by train. D. by bike.‎ ‎31. It can be inferred from the passage that_________.‎ A. Mr. White liked his job very much.‎ B. neither hotel in that place was good.‎ C. Mr. White wasn’t afraid of driving in the rain.‎ D. the local man didn’t know which hotel was better.‎ D ‎ Having friends may well keep you healthier and help you deal with stress better. Some studies show that people with close friends have a greater ability to fight diseases than people who are alone.‎ ‎ Place friendship in the first place. Find the time to be with friends even if it means letting the lawn go unmoved or the dishes unwashed for a while. When you can’t get together, use the phone to keep in touch.‎ ‎ Open up to close friends. Keeping a deep friendship requires a level of ‘heartfelt’ intimacy(亲密). Don’t be afraid to express your inner fears and disappointments. Listen to your friends when they have problems, but offer advice only when it’s wanted. Help raise friends’ self-esteem when they are sad about a job loss, or other such events.‎ ‎ Have different friends for different activities, such as going to the movies, singing in a choir, and joining in a bowling league.‎ ‎ Don’t wait for a friend to ask for helps. When a friend has the flu, offer to go to the store and drive his or her children to their afterschool activities.‎ ‎ Never take a friendship for granted. Like a good marriage, friendship needs care and patience. Become a joiner. Find a group that matches your interests.‎ ‎ Talk to strangers. Conversations started in museums, laundry rooms, or bookstores can lead to firm friendship.‎ ‎ Enroll in an adult education course. A classroom is an ideal place to meet others with similar interests.‎ ‎32. People with close friends have a _________ ability to fight diseases than people who are alone.‎ ‎ A. less. B. greater. C. poorer. D. little.‎ ‎33. What should we do to have friends according to the author? ‎ ‎ A. Make friendship a priority (头等大事). B. Open up to close friends. ‎ C. Never take a friendship for granted. D. All the above.‎ ‎34. Which of the statements is TRUE according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. You should have different friends for the same activities. ‎ B. You should wait for a friend to ask a favor . ‎ C. You should avoid talking with strangers in museums, laundry rooms, or bookstores. D. You should never take a friendship for granted.‎ ‎ 35. What does the underlined word ‘Enroll’ in the last paragraph mean?‎ ‎ A. Give. B. Join. C. Get. D. Catch.‎ 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10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。‎ Horses can talk to one another. 36 They communicate with one another and with us through gestures and expressions.‎ Expressive(富有表现力的) Ears When a horse turns its ears to the side or halfway back, the horse is listening. It can listen with both ears._37 If the sound is on the left, the horse moves its left ear. When a horse moves both ears back and forth, it’s paying attention to the activity around it.‎ Meaningful looks(有含义的眼神)‎ A horse that is relaxed and happy will have ‘soft’ eyes, which look kind and round in shape. A horse that is unhappy will have ‘hard’ eyes, which look angry. 38 When white shows around a horse’s eyes, it is frightened or anxious.‎ ‎ Kicking(踢腿)‎ Do horses kick only when they are angry? Not always. A horse sometimes kicks to get flies off its stomach or legs. 39 Horses in a field may also kick while they are playing.‎ ‎ Tails Tell Tales ‎ A horse also talks with its tail. 40 If there are flies around, it will swish(刷刷地移动) its tail in a relaxed manner to chase(驱逐) the flies away. A horse that is playing in a field may hold its tail high, almost over its back. This shows that the horse is feeling good. If a horse swishes its tail when there are no flies, the horse is bored or impatient.‎ ‎ A horse will swish its tail hard when it’s angry.‎ ‎ A. The happy and relaxed horse usually holds its tail still.‎ ‎ B. Horses are one of the most exciting pets to own, too.‎ ‎ C.A horse has hard eyes when something is bothering it.‎ ‎ D.

During the previous study, my biggest flaw must come to carelessness, which worried me a lot. To make matters worse, I was too anxious to seek the fundamental reason for my failure.

Having been persuaded to change my attitude, I finally got the right way to rid myself of carelessness and gained confidence as well.‎ ‎ I am grateful to my English teacher for all the support he has given me, which has made me stronger and a better person.‎
