22、In todays society, language plays a key role in defining gender (性别) by vocabulary, and also their non-verbal vocabulary. Each one of these different types of ways of communicating is obviously different between men and women.Many different studies show that men tend to talk much more than women. It

23、 has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men;this is due to the fact that women tend to be interrupted more often than men are, and also have the ability to speak more clearly, precisely and quickly than men. In one study it was found that women spoke for an average of three minute

24、s describing a painting, as opposed to the thirteen-minute average it took men to describe it.Men and women also tend to have a very different non-verbal way of communicating, which can also make it very hard for one another to understand what the opposite sex is trying to say. Mens body language is

25、 much more reserved when talking to women. Men tend not to make as much eye contact and they generally stay farther away from women when talking to them. Men avoid other peoples body space while talking, and they also tend to sit back when talking. All of these have given off the impression of disin

26、terest or boredom.

B.Favorable.C.Ambiguous.D.Skeptical.11.What is the best title for the text?A.Women, born excellent talkersB.Mens and womens social rolesC.Vocabulary and communicationD.Opposite gender, different languages答案语篇解读本文讲述的是“不同的性别,不同的语言”。在日常交流中我们可以用语言交流,也可以用肢体语言传递信息,这两种交流方式男女有

31、着很大的区别。8.B推理判断题。根据第二段中的It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men(事实证明,女性说话速度比男性快);再根据第二段下文this is due to the fact that women tend to be interrupted more often than men are, and also have the ability to speak more clearly, precisely and quickly than men. (这是由于女性比男性更容易被打断,而且她们比男

32、性能更清楚、更准确、更迅速地说话。)由此推知,此处this指的是男人和女人说话的速度不同。故选B项。9.D细节理解题。根据第三段第一句Men and women also tend to have a very different non-verbal way of communicating.(男人和女人也有一种非常不同的非语言交流方式)以及下文提到的Mens body language is much more reserved when talking to women.可知选D项。10.B推理判断题。根据最后一段中.what fun would it be if we all spok

33、e the same “language”? The little games men and women play with each other while conversing would be lost.

34、(性别) by vocabulary, and also their non-verbal vocabulary.主要讲述了男性和女性之间交谈语言和方式的差异,并列举了两性之间的几个不同之处。由此推断出本文的主题应该是:不同的性别,不同的语言。故选D项。D(2018课标全国)Weve all been there:in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, strugg

35、ling with the uncomfortable silence.Whats the problem?Its possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence.

37、se(润滑剂)for social communication, says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast.“Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,”he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others,

38、 not just communicate with them.”In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction(互动)with its waiter;the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who cha

40、lieves that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others.

43、 of Small TalkD.Uncomfortable Silence答案语篇解读本文为说明文。介绍了“small talk(闲聊)”的重要性及其意义。12.C细节理解题。题干句意:第一段描述的是什么现象?根据第一段描述(无论我们身在何处,在电梯里、在银行排队或者在飞机上,我们周围的人或是像我们一样在埋头看智能手机,或是更坏,在和令人不安的沉默做斗争)可知,C项“陌生人之间缺乏交流”和首段描述一致,故答案为C项。A项“手机控”只是该段描述现象时举的例子;B项“公共场合的不恰当行为”与首段意思不符;D项“对缓慢的服务缺乏耐心”和第一段的描述无关。13.B细节理解题。题干句意:根据Carduc

44、ci的说法,对于成功的闲聊来说什么是重要的?根据第三段最后一句(成功的闲聊的关键是学会如何同他人建立联系而不仅仅是同他们交流)可知,B项“能够理解并认同他人”符合题意,故答案为B项。本题干扰项为A“显示良好的行为举止”,错因在于锁定的句子“最后一段最后一句(闲聊是良好举止的基础)”和题干要求不一致,答非所问;D项“做生意”受第三段第三句(几乎每一个伟大的爱情故事和每一单大的生意都源于闲聊)的影响,犯了逻辑推理错误;C项“聚焦一个话题”在文中没有涉及。14.D推理判断题。题干句意:关于闲聊,咖啡店调研表明了什么?根据第四段中的内容(结果表明那些同服务生闲聊的人明显有更高的积极情感和较好的咖啡店体

45、验。不是同服务生交谈比和你的丈夫交谈更好,而是同社交网络的边缘人员的互动也对我们的健康和幸福很重要)可知,D项“它使得人们感觉良好”与题意相符,故答案为D项。A项“它改善家庭关系”、B项“它提升人们的自信” 和C项“它和正式交谈一样重要”在文章中没有涉及,属于主观臆断。15.C主旨大意题。题干句意:文章最好的标题是什么?根据第二段最后一句(专家说闲聊是一种可带来巨大益处的极有价值的社交行为)以及最后一段最后一句(闲聊是良好举止的基础)可知,C项“闲聊的益处”与题干要求一致,故答案为C项。A项“会话很重要”为干扰项,错在偷换概念,conversation(会话, 交谈)和small talk(闲谈)不是一个概念;文章没有就闲聊的方式或方法做具体的解释,故排除B项“进行闲聊的方式”;D项“令人不安的沉默”只是第一段提到的现象之一,而不是文章的主旨。
