Unit 1 Living well 李仕才 一、阅读理解 ‎  Hillary Clinton promised On October 30, 2016 that she would not be “knocked off course” in the election's final days, as she sought to push past a new FBI email inquiry that delivered a late jolt(震动) to her race against Republican Donald Trump.‎ ‎    “I'm not stopping now, we're just getting warmed up,” Clinton declared during a packed rally (集会)with supporters in Florida. “We're not going to be distracted, no matter what our opponents throw at us.”‎ ‎    Trump campaigned in Las Vegas at a club owned by billionaire GOP major donor Sheldon Adelson and accused the Justice Department, without offering evidence, of trying to protect Clinton following the FBI's discovery of new emails that could be related to its investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server.‎ ‎    “Hillary has nobody but herself to blame for her mounting legal problems,” Trump said during a rally.‎ ‎    Meanwhile, federal investigators secured a warrant (权证)to examine the newly discovered emails related to Hillary Clinton's private server, media reported on Sunday, as a prominent Democrat accused FBI Director James Comey of breaking the law by trying to influence the election.‎ ‎    The warrant will allow the FBI to examine the emails to see if they are relevant to its investigation into the private email server used for government work by Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, while she was secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.‎ ‎    Comey came under heavy pressure from Democrats on Sunday to quickly provide details of the emails, as Clinton allies worried the controversy could extend beyond the Nov 8 election and cast a shadow over a Clinton transition if she wins the White House.‎ 9‎ ‎    Comey's disclosure of the email discovery in a letter to Congress on Friday plunged(使陷入) the final days of the White House race between Clinton and Republican Donald Trump into a state of confusion and disorder.‎ ‎    Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid sent a letter to Comey on Sunday suggesting he violated the Hatch Act, which bans the use of a federal government position to influence an election.‎ ‎1.What is James Comey? A.Senate Democratic Leader. B.A prominent Democrat. C.FBI Director. D.Head of the Justice Department. 2.What has FBI made a discovery of? A.Clinton's private letters written to a foreign country. B.Clinton's accepting a lot of money from a businessman. C.Clinton's bad health conditions that may affect her administration. D.Clinton's new emails through the use of a private email server. 3.The possible meaning of the underlined word “ controversy ” in Para. 7 is ________. A.a successful ending of a struggle or contest B.a lot of argument about something C.the ability and strength to do active physical things D.something new and difficult which requires great effort and determination 4.The best title for the news report can be “________” . A.Clinton promises to stay course, Trump boosted B.Trump accuses the Justice Department of trying to protect Clinton C.Trump says Hillary should blame for her mounting legal problems D.White House race between Clinton and Republican Donald Trump 参考答案： 1.C; 2.D; 3.B; 4.A 解析： 1.[事实判断题。根据是第五段:as a prominent Democrat accused FBI Director James Comey of breaking the law by trying to influence the 9‎ ‎ election。] 2.[细节理解题。根据第三段:…following the FBI's discovery of new emails that could be related to its investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server可得答案。] 3.[词义猜测题。根据前文克林顿和特朗普竞争美国总统互相攻击以及该词前的worried和该词后的could extend beyond the Nov 8 election可知该词是“争议”的意思。] 4.[标题猜测题。根据全文如开头:Hillary Clinton promised on October 30 that she would not be “knocked off course” in the election's final days等可知答案。]‎ 二、单句语法填空 ‎1．She adapted herself quickly ________ the climate there.‎ 答案：to　adapt ... to ... “使……适应……”。‎ ‎2．After the meeting, the manager asked him to explain his

acceptable.Every society also has its taboos, or types of behavior that are considered a violation of good manners.‎ The word taboo comes from the Tongan language and is used in modern English to describe verbal and nonverbal behavior that is forbidden or to be avoided. 1. They tend to be specific to a culture or country, and usually form around a group’s values and beliefs.What is considered acceptable behavior in one country may be a serious taboo in another.‎ Verbal taboos usually involve topics that people believe are too private to talk about publicly, or relate to one’s manner of speaking.In many cultures, for example, it is considered bad manners to discuss subjects such as sex or religion in public.In some countries, too much volume of one’s voice may annoy people.2. ‎ 9‎ ‎3． For example, one of the biggest differences among many Western, Asian, and African cultures is the use of eye contact.In the U．S., people make eye contact when they talk to others. 4. In many Asian and African cultures, however, children are taught to lower their eyes when talking to their elders, or those of higher rank, as a way to show respect.‎ Certain gestures made with the hands can have very different meanings depending on the country you are in.Crossing your middle finger over your forefinger is the sign for good luck in many Western countries. 5. Also, in some Asian countries, moving your hands a lot while talking, or “talking with your hands”， is considered unsuitable.‎ Behavior that is acceptable and nonoffensive in one culture can be highly offensive in another.When visiting a foreign country, be aware of some of the basic differences, as this will help to ensure a more enjoyable trip.‎ A．Nonverbal taboos usually relate to body language.‎ B．In Vietnam and Argentina, however, it is a rude gesture.‎ C．In spite of what some people may think, taboos are not universal.‎ D．Cancer is a taboo subject and people are frightened to talk openly about it.‎ E．Learn a country’s customs so that you don’t hurt the local people unconsciously.‎ F．They might think that someone who is speaking or laughing loudly is rude or aggressive.‎ G．If a person avoids eye contact, others might think they are being dishonest or unconfident.‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文主要讲述了不同国家习俗方面的禁忌，以及肢体语言、手势语的不同运用。‎ ‎1．C　解析：上句是对taboo的定义，下句讲它们通常是一个国家或一种文化所特有的，通常是围绕着一个团体的价值观和信仰而形成的。由此可以推断，C项(尽管一些人可能这样认为，但禁忌不是通用的)符合语境，起到承上启下的作用。故选C项。‎ ‎2．F　解析：本段主要讲一些人对禁忌的看法，比如一些私人问题不能在公共场合谈论等。根据设空前一句中的too much volume of one’s voice may annoy people可知，在一些国家，说话声音太大会惹恼别人，F项(他们可能认为大声说笑是粗鲁的或充满挑衅的)正好是对上一句的解释。故选F项。‎ ‎3．A　解析：根据设空后一句中的eye contact可知，本段主要讲眼神接触在不同文化中有不同的要求，属于肢体语言。故A项(非语言禁忌通常和肢体语言有关)符合语境。‎ ‎4．G　解析：本段讲的是眼神接触的作用，根据关键词eye contact可知，G项与该段主题一致，故选G项。‎ ‎5．B　解析：本段介绍手势语在不同国家的含义。上一句介绍了把中指和食指交叠起来，在很多西方国家意味着好运。下文应该介绍其他国家对此不同的理解，B项(然而在越南和阿根廷，这是一个粗鲁的手势)符合语境，故选B项。‎ 9‎ 9‎
