18、n may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures.What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of reflection and sign of respect for what the last speaker has said.

26、el uneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 secondsnearly twice as long as in Americans meetings.”可知，日本人可能在谈话中有最长沉默。故选D。6C推理判断题。根据第四段首句“In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you dont speak at all.”可知

27、，在日本，一般认为最好的交流是一句话不说的时候。因此推断日本人认为“伟大的心灵，无言而思”。故选C。7D推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“For example, among your closest friends and family its easier to sit in silence than with people youre less well acquainted with.”可知，亲密的人之间更容易出现沉默，因此我们和家人越亲密，沉默越容易出现。故选D。8A词句猜测题。根据下文的举例可知，越亲密的人，越容易出现沉默，因此推断画线句句意是：相比而言，当有更多相似时，也许沉默更容易

29、to Memrise, the app Im using. It feels just like a game.“People often stop learning things because they feel theyre not making progress or because it all feels like too much hard work，” says Ed Cooke, one of the people who created Memrise. “Were trying to create a form of learning experience that is

30、 fun and is something youd want to do instead of watching TV.”Memrise gives you a few new words to learn and these are “seeds” which you plant in your “greenhouse”. When you practice the words, you “water your plants”. When the app believes that you have really remembered a word, it moves the word t

31、o your “garden”. And if you forget to log on (登录)，the app sends you emails that remind you to “water_your_plants”The app uses two principles about learning. The first is that people remember things better when they link them to a picture in their mind. Memrise translates words into your own language

32、, but it also encourages you to use “mems”. For example, I memorized motele, the Lingala word for “engine”， using a mem I created I imagined an old engine in a motel (汽车旅馆) room.The second principle is that we need to stop after studying words and then repeat them again later, leaving time between s

33、tudy sessions. Memrise helps you with this, because its the kind of app you only use for five or ten minutes a day.Ive learnt hundreds of Lingala words with Memrise. I know this wont make me a fluent speaker, but I hope Ill be able to do more than just smile when I meet people in Congo. Now, I need

36、rise?APositive.BDoubtful.CUncaring.DDisapproving.答案与解析本文为应用说明文。作者介绍了一种学习应用程序Memrise，这是一种寓教于乐的学习单词的方法，主要运用联想记忆，通过游戏的方式来完成的。9D推理判断题。根据文章第一段Thanks to Memrise, the app Im using. It feels just like a game.可知，Memrise我正在使用的应用程序。感觉就像是一场游戏。第二和第三段叙述Memrise是一种有趣的学习体验，即把娱乐和想要学习的东西结合在一起的体验，以及它是如何操作。分析选项可知D项符合题意。

37、10A猜测词意题。根据第三段的内容可知，Memrise给你一些新单词来学习，这些是你在“温室”中种植的“种子”。当你练习单词时，你就是在“浇灌你的植物”。由此可知，练习单词，“就是浇灌你的植物”， 由此可推断出“water your plants”即在学习新单词，故选A。11D推理判断题。根据第四段中The app uses two principles about learning. The first is that people remember things better when they link them to a picture in their mind. For examp

38、le, I memorized motele, the Lingala word for “engine”， using a mem I created I imagined an old engine in a motel (汽车旅馆) room.的句意“应用程序使用两个关于学习的原则。首先，运用联想记忆，他们会记得更好例如，我记住了motele，Lingala的“引擎”一词，使用我创建的一个mem我想象着汽车旅馆(汽车旅馆)房间里的一个旧引擎 ”。由此可知Memrise是通过运用联想记忆的方法来进行学习的。分析选项可知D项符合题意。12A推理判断题。根据最后一段可知，作者叙述了自己运用Memrise应用程序学习好几百的林加拉语，希望自己与当地人相遇时可以用当地语言来交流。现在要去用Memrise来学习单词。由此可推断出作者认为这个程序对自己有益，所以对此抱积极的态度。分析选项可知A正确。
