考点规范练21(Module 3)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
In the early 1970s,David McNeill,a psychology professor at the University of Chicago,was giving a talk in a Paris lecture hall when something queer caught his eye.There was a woman in the back of the room moving her arms in a way that seemed to convey exactly what he was saying.It took him a moment to realize that she was speaking,too,and another to realize that she was an interpreter,translating his words into French.For McNeill,that moment of confusion made him realize that gesture and speech are not as separate as they seem.
Gesture researchers have spent the past 40 years uncovering how movements are tied to speech.Regardless of their spoken language or culture,humans gesture when they talk.They gesture even if they have never seen gestures before—people who have been blind since birth do it—and they gesture even if they’re talking to someone on the phone and know no one can see them.When speech is interrupted,so is gesture.In fact,gesture is so tightly bound to language that differences between languages show up as differences in gesture.In other words,the way you package your thoughts into speech is also how you package them into movement.
Researchers are especially interested in the times when gestures don’t match speech.The mismatch can be a valuable window to what’s going on in the mind.For example,until about 7 years of age,children don’t understand that if you pour a tall glass of water into a shorter,wider glass,the amount of water stays the same.They think the shorter glass contains less water.When asked to explain their reasoning,some children will say,“This one is shorter,”while gesturing that the glass is wider.That discrepancy(矛盾) shows they subconsciously grasp that both dimensions are important.
When we speak,we put our thoughts into words,and when we gesture,we put our thoughts into our hands.But gestures don’t just show what we’re thinking—they actually help us think.Toddlers(初学走路的孩子) who are encouraged to gesture tend to start producing more words.Adults involved in various problem-solving tasks do better when they are encouraged to gesture.Putting ideas into motions brings us closer to grasping what we need to grasp.
【语篇导读】本文是说明文。文章解释了人们说话时为什么会做手势。
1.Which can best replace the underlined word “queer” in Paragraph 1?
A.Strange.　　　　　　　　　　B.Terrible.
C.Boring. D.Funny.
答案:A
解析:词义猜测题。由下文那位女士做手势、讲话、翻译的情节及段末的“that moment of confusion”可推断,那位女士的表现很奇怪。
2.What is the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A.Newborn babies don’t gesture.
B.Gesture and language are closely related.
C.Babies learn to gesture from their parents.
D.People gesture when they talk face to face.
答案:B
解析:段落大意题。由第二段中的“how movements are tied to speech”及“gesture is so tightly bound to language that”以及所举例子可推断,本段主要是说手势和语言是紧密联系的。
3.Through kids’ gestures in the example of glasses,researchers know 　　　. 
A.kids often ignore glasses’ shapes
B.kids under 7 are not good at gesturing
C.kids prefer taller glasses to shorter ones
D.kids can realize the importance of glasses’ width
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。由第三段末的“while gesturing that the glass is wider...both dimensions are important”可知,通过孩子们的手势可以知道他们能够意识到玻璃容器宽度的重要性。
4.Gesturing makes people 　　　. 
A.more persuasive
B.get distracted more easily
C.feel discouraged while talking
D.think and express more effectively
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。由最后一段可知,被鼓励做手势的孩子表达能力会比较强;成年人做手势可以帮助思考进而解决问题。据此可推断,做手势帮助人们更有效地思考和表达。

Ⅲ.语篇填空
Whether we like it or not,the society will create in us certain desires for those things that are valued by the society in general.Today,we’ll learn something on “Who 1.　　　　　　(keep) company with the wolf will learn to howl(近朱者赤近墨者黑)”.

答案与解析:
【语篇导读】本文通过列举事例,谈论了“近朱者赤,近墨者黑”这句话的内在含义。
1.keeps　解析:考查主谓一致。主语从句的主语是who,是第三人称单数形式,所以谓语动词要加-s。
2.be influenced　解析:考查动词的语态。根据句意以及空后的by great scientific thinkers可知要用被动语态。
3.best　解析:考查形容词比较等级。分析语境以及空前的定冠词the可知,此处要用形容词的最高级形式,表示“要去的最好的地方”。
4.Equally　解析:考查副词。此处是修饰整个句子,要用副词形式。
5.probably　解析:考查副词。此处是修饰动词choose,故用副词形式。
6.but　解析:考查连词。此处是not...but...“不是……而是……”句型。
7.our　解析:考查代词。根据空前的“we can use it to help us”可知应该是实现我们的目标,所以填our。
8.to know　解析:考查非谓语动词。此处表示“如果你正在努力拼搏,环顾你周围,看其他人是否和你有同样的目标”,to know做目的状语。
9.with　解析:考查介词。看其他人是否和你有同样的目标,应用介词with“拥有”。
10.making　解析:考查非谓语动词。本句的谓语是is,所以用动名词形式做主语。
