This started when I was three years old and father took me to the beach. The huge waves knocked me down and swept over me.The pool was quiet. I was afraid of going in all alone, so I sat on the side of the pool to wait fbr others. Then came a big boy. He yelled, "Hi, Skinny! How'd you like to be ducked?” With that he picked me up and threw me into the deep end. I landed in a sitting position, and swallowed water. But I was not frightened out of my witswhen my feet hit the bottom, I would make a big jump, come out of the surface. It seemed a long way down. I gathered all my strength when I landed and made what I thought was a great spring upwards. Then I opened my eyes and saw nothing but water. I tried to yell but no sound came out. I went down, down, endlessly.When I came to consciousness, I found myself lying on the bed in the hospital.I never went back to the pool. I avoided water whenever I could. This misadventure stayed with me as the years rolled by. It deprived me of the joy of boating and swimming. Finally, I decided to get an instructor. Piece by piece, he built a swimmer. Several months later, the instruction was finished, but I was not. Sometimes the terror would return.This went on until July. I swam across the Lake Wentworth. Only once did the terror return. When I was in the middle of the lake, I put my face under and saw nothing but bottomless water. I laughed and said, “Well, Mr Terror, what do you think you can do to me? ”I had conquered my fear of water.【文章大意】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲的是小时候作者和父亲去海滩的糟糕经历让作者非 常害怕水，但是到后来，作者游过了 Wentworth湖，克服了对水的恐惧。1.

Words are important. The way people stand, hold their arms, and move their hands can also give us information about their feelings.2 The crucial thing is using body language in a way that is appropriate to the culture you are in. For example, making eye contact-looking into someone9s eyes-in some countries is a way to display interest. 3 For example, in many Middle Eastern countries, men and women are not socially permitted to make eye contact. In Japan, it may demonstrate respect to look down when talking to an older person.The gesture for "OK" has different meanings in different cultures. In Japan, someone who witnesses another person employing the gesture might think it means money. In France, a person encountering an identical gesture may interpret it as meaning zero. 4Some body language has many different uses. Perhaps the best example is smiling. A smile can help us get through difficult situations and find friends in a world of strangers. 5 We can use a smile to apologize, to greet someone, to ask for help, or to start a conversation. Experts suggest smiling at yourself in the mirror to make yourself feel happier and stronger. And if we are feeling down or lonely, there is nothing better than seeing the smiling face of a good friend.A. A smile can break down barriers.B. Smile is a kind of attitude to our life.C. Body language is a part of nonverbal language.D. In other countries, by contrast, eye contact is not always approved of.E. Just like spoken language, body language varies from culture to culture.F. But we can also learn a lot about what people are thinking by watching their body language.G. However, you should avoid making this gesture in Brazil and Germany, as it is not considered polite.【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。人们的肢体语言有很丰富的含义，文章对此进行了介绍。1.【解析】选F。根据后面一句可知，此处是讲肢体语言也能表达人们的想法和感受，所以选 项F（但是我们也可以通过观察人们的肢体语言来了解他们在想什么。）切合文意。故选Fo2【解析】选E。根据后面一句可知，此处是讲肢体语言因文化的不同而不同，所以选项E（就 像口语一样，肢体语言也因文化的不同而不同。）切合文意。故选艮3.【解析】选D。根据前面一句可知，此处是讲看着某人的眼睛表达的含义，前文讲在一些 国家看着某人的眼睛是表达兴趣的一种方式，选项D（相比之下，在其他国家，眼神交流并不 总是被赞许的。）和前文形成对比，所以选项D切合文意。故选D。4【解析】选G。根据前面一句可知，此处是讲“0K”这个手势在不同的文化中的不同的含义。 前面两句举了几个国家的例子，所以选项G（然而，在巴西和德国你应该避免这样做，因为这 被认为是不礼貌的。）切合文意，而且指出在巴西和德国应该避免这样做，和前文构成转折关 系，对应转折词However。故选Go5.【解析】选A。根据前面两句可知，此处是讲微笑能够打破障碍，帮助交流，所以选项A（一 个微笑可以打破障碍。）切合文意。故选A。III.语法填空As a child, Obaida Omar 1.(narrow) escaped the enemy's invasion of her native Afghanistan, walking for weeks through the mountains.
