辽宁省盘锦市盘锦第二高级中学2019-2020学年高二第一学期第二阶段考试英语试卷

英语试卷 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分）‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。‎ A Language is very important when you travel or study abroad, but it is equally important to know how to communicate non-verbally(不用语言地). Before saying anything, people communicate non-verbally by making gestures. According to an investigation(调查), only 30 to 35 per cent of our communication is verbal. When people don't know the language, the most common way to communicate is through gestures. However,many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.‎ In the United States,for example,nodding your head up and down means “yes”. In some parts of Greece and Turkey, however, this motion can mean “no”. In South-east Asia,nodding your head is a polite way of saying “I've heard you.”‎ In ancient Rome, when the emperor wanted to spare someone's life,he would put his thumbs up. Today in the United States, when someone puts his/her thumbs up, it means “Everything is all right.” However, in Sardinia and Greece, the gesture is insulting and should not be used there.‎ In the United States, raising your clasped(握紧的) hands above your head means “I'm the champion.” or “I'm the winner.” It is the sign prizefighters make when they win a fight. When a leading Russian statesman(政治家) made his gesture after a White House meeting, Americans misunderstood and thought he meant he was the winner. In Russia, however, it is a sign of friendship.‎ There are other non-verbal signals that people should be aware of when they go to another country, such as the distance to maintain between speakers. Americans stand closer to each other than English people. English people don't like touching somebody or being touched. Now in America, the touch is important. Friends touch each other on the arm, for example. They often put an arm around a friend when they say “hello” or “goodbye”. ‎ ‎21. It is very important to know how to communicate non-verbally when you are in another country because ________‎ A. most people speak different languages B. it's easy to learn how to express oneself through gestures ‎ C. people usually make gestures before saying anything D. much of our communication is non-verbal on many occasions ‎22. If a native in Singapore nods his head up and down when you talk to him, his motion means ________‎ A. yes B. I've heard you C. that's all right D. no ‎23. The gesture of putting one's thumbs up shouldn't be used when you are travelling in _________ ‎ A. Italy B. the United States C. Greece D. South-east Asia B A survey sponsored(赞助) by an international temporary service agency found that the US managers believe that people with a sense of humour do better at their jobs, compared with those who have little or no sense of humour. In fact, about 96 per cent of those surveyed said people with a sense of humour do better.‎ The survey went on to point out that the results suggest that a sense of humour may help light-hearted employees keep their jobs during tough times. And, what's more, it may push them up the corporate ladder past their humourless colleagues. Why? It seems that those with a sense of humour are better communicators and better team players.‎ Studies have shown that happy workers are more productive. In fact, a researcher at California State University found that humour could help the employees to release tension.‎ Research done by psychologist(心理学家) Dr Ashton Trice at Mary Baldwin University in Virginia showed that humour helps us to think. When people feel stuck on important projects, they tend to feel angry or depressed. According to Dr Trice's research, taking time out to laugh can help us to get rid of negative feelings and allow us to return to a task or move on to another project unaffected by past defeat.‎ If humour is really this important, then why don't we use it more often on the job? Most likely, the main reason is that many people are unaware of the positive effects of humour in the workplace. They tend to think humour and laughter are unproductive or unprofessional, or perhaps both. However, it is important to realize that some humour is not suitable for the workplace, and that it is often used at wrong times.‎ ‎24. Most US managers think a sense of humour can _________. ‎ A. help you to do your work better B. make you have a rich life ‎ C. make you pleased with your work D. help you to make more friends ‎25. Many people don't use humour more in the workplace because______ . ‎ A. they like keeping silent when working ‎ B. they don't know the positive effects of humour C. they think they should obey the rules ‎ D. they don't like joking or laughing ‎26. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A. People with a sense of humour. B. Humour is important in the workplace. ‎ C. Humour and humourless. D. Everyone likes humour.‎ C On June 23,2010,a Sunny Airways captain with 32 years of experience stopped his flight from departing.He was deeply concerned about a power part that might run out of all electrical power on his transpacific flight.Regardless of his concerns,Sunny Airways pressured him to fly the airplane over the ocean at night.When he refused to put the safety of his passengers at risk,Sunny Airways' Security removed him out of the airport,and threatened to arrest his crew if they did not cooperate.‎ Besides that,five more Sunny Airways pilots also refused to fly the ‎ aircraft,expressing their own concerns about the safety of the plane.It turned out that the pilots were right: the power part was faulty and the plane was removed from service and finally fixed.Eventually a third crew operated the flight,hours later.In this whole process,Sunny Airways pressured their highly experienced pilots to ignore their safety concerns and fly passengers over the Pacific Ocean at night in a plane that needed maintenance(维护).Fortunately for all of us,these pilots stood strong and would not be frightened.‎ Don't just take our word.

Quiet, that is, except for those who were standing around the nurses station complaining about having to work Christmas Day. I was triage nurse(伤检分类护士) that day and had just been out to the waiting room to clean up. Just then five bodies showed up at my triage desk, a pale woman and four small children.‎ ‎"Are you all sick? "I asked suspiciously（猜疑地）.‎ ‎“Yes, ”she said weakly and lowered her head But when it came to descriptions of their presenting problems, things got a little vague（模糊不清）. Two of the children had headaches, but the headaches weren’t accompanied by the normal body language of holding the head. Two children had earaches, but only one could tell me which ear was affected. The mother complained of a cough but seemed to work to produce it.‎ Something was wrong, but I didn't say anything but explained to the mother that it might be a little while before a doctor saw her. She responded, "Take your time, it's warm in here.”She turned and, with a smile, guided her children into the waiting room.‎ On a hunch(凭直觉), I checked the chart after the admitting clerk（接待员） had finished registering(登记) the family, No address-they were homeless. The waiting room was warm. I looked out at the family huddled（拥挤）by the Christmas tree. The littlest one was pointing at the television and exclaiming（呼喊） something to her mother. The oldest one was looking at her reflection in an ornament on the Christmas ‎ tree.‎ I went back to the nurse’s station and mentioned we had a homeless family in the waiting room. The nurses, complaining about working Christmas, turned to compassion（同情） for a family just trying to get warm on Christmas. The team went into action, much as we do when there's a medical emergency.

We also needed presents, so we put together candies, fruits and other things available from different apartments. Rushing in and out of the waiting room, our team made great efforts to make a warm party to meet the needs of a homeless family who just wanted to be warm on Christmas Day When the party ended, as the family walked to the door to leave, the mother came running back gave me a hug and whispered, "Thanks for being our angels today. "As she ran back, they all waved one more time before the door closed. Inside the nurse station, there stood a group of nurses with tears in their eyes, who worked a Christmas Day that they will never forget
