參考答案UNIT4單元提能強化練Ⅰ.【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要說明白計算機理解人類肢體語言的具體步驟。1.C細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)其次段中的“So,softwarefirsthastorecognisetheshapeofahumanbodyandthenmapoutthekeypointsofourbody.”可知,要讓計算機理解人類的肢體語言,最重要的是軟件。故選C項。2.D推理推斷題。依據(jù)第三段“Butunderstandingthatanimagecontains..esprettyeasily.”以及第四段“Butcomputersneedtoseeaton...sameorsimilarstancewiththatemotion.”可知,因為肘部、膝蓋或一張臉的圖像對計算機理解人類肢體語言并沒有多大好處,所以計算機關(guān)注可以傳達(dá)心情的臉(面部表情)和手(肢體語言)。因此,把心情被分為肢體語言和面部表情是為了讓計算機識別它們背后的意義。故選D項。3.B詞義揣測題。依據(jù)畫線詞所在的上下文“Butcomputers...sameorsimilarstancewiththatemotion.”可知,計算機識別的是特定肢體語言背后的意義;通過越來越多肢體語言的例子,計算機可以識別出那種肢體語言心情狀況下相同或相像的意思。故畫線詞意思是“意義”。故選B項。4.A主旨大意題。依據(jù)第一段“Gettingcomputerstounderstand...whatyourbodylanguageissaying.”并結(jié)合全文內(nèi)容可知,本文主要說明白計算機理解人類肢體語言的具體步驟。A項“計算機是如何識別肢體語言的”最符合本文大意。故選A項?！菊Z篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇說明文。文章主要介紹了LaGomera島上的口哨語SilboGomero。5.B細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)第三段中的“Itstartedtodieoutwhenthetelephonearrivedandtheislandwasopentotourism.”可知,現(xiàn)代技術(shù)的到來是SilboGomero面臨消亡的緣由。故選B項。6.C細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)其次段中的“ItsoundslikebirdsongandwasdevelopedthousandsofyearsagobyislanderstoenablethemtocommunicateuptotwomilesacrossLaGomera’svalleys.”可知,SilboGomero被獨創(chuàng)出來是為了進行遠(yuǎn)距離溝通。故選C項。7.A細(xì)微環(huán)節(jié)理解題。依據(jù)其次段中的“TheCanaryIslandsgovernmentisprovidingfundingtohelpschoolchildrenonLaGomeratolearnthisancientwhistlinglanguageaspartoftheirheritage.”可知,為了挽救SilboGomero,當(dāng)?shù)卣?yīng)了財政救濟。故選A項。8.D推理推斷題。依據(jù)第一段中的“SilboGomeroisanancientlanguageofwhistlethatenabledpeopletocommunicateacrosslongdistancesbeforetheinventionofthetelephoneorthecomputer.”以及文章內(nèi)容可知,本文寫作的目的是介紹LaGomera島上面臨消亡的口哨語SilboGomero。故選D項。Ⅱ.【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇說明文。在疫情期間,社交距離極大地變更了我們在非語言溝通方面的方式。對此文章給出了快速閱讀肢體語言的建議。1.G上文“Wearingafacemaskhasquicklybecomethenorm—andthatwilllikelyremainfortheforeseeablefuture.”說明人們戴口罩時臉會被隱藏一半。下文“Howcanwebetterreadbodylanguage,nowthatwe’rewearingmasks?”說明,在臉被隱藏的狀況下,我們照舊要辨別人們所想。G項“但是,由于隱藏了近一半的臉,因此很難辨別出一個人的想法和感受”承上啟下,符合語境。故選G項。2.E依據(jù)上文“Toooften,weputallourfocusonpeople’sfaces,whenweshouldalsobeobservingthemovementsoftheirentireupperbodies.”可知,在視察不到臉的同時,我們應(yīng)留意視察人們的肢體語言,通過肢體語言來解讀人們的心理。E項“肢體語言是一個人心情狀況的外在反映”承接上文。故選E項。3.B依據(jù)上文“Ifpeoplearetouchingtheir‘neckdimple’(thevisibleindentationatthemiddle-frontoftheirneck),itcouldmeanthey’redistressedorinsecure.”可知,一個人在感到焦慮或擔(dān)心時會摸頸項的凹陷處。B項中的“this”指代觸摸這個部位,而“嘗試勸慰他們或緩解他們的焦慮”是對此提出的建議,符合語境。故選B項。4.A依據(jù)下文“Ifsomeoneisrubbingtheupperpartoftheirchestwithapalmofahand(orevenjustthefingers),itcanindicatediscomfortorconcern.”可知,本段落承接上段內(nèi)容,介紹的是壓力和焦慮的另一個跡象以及相應(yīng)的建議。故選A項。5.F依據(jù)上文“Headmovementscan...displaysawarenessandattentiveness.”可知,上文說的是人們在專注時的頭部動作。F項“當(dāng)與一些點頭結(jié)合時,它可以表示對所說或聽到的內(nèi)容的贊同”符合語境。故選F項。Ⅲ.【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇記敘文。作者某次去看牙醫(yī),去之前已經(jīng)預(yù)約了,到了那里卻發(fā)覺牙醫(yī)什么都沒打算。作者很生氣,但牙醫(yī)卻始終對作者微笑,這讓作者很內(nèi)疚,也讓作者感受到了微笑的力氣。1.Bfriend摯友;stranger生疏人;patient病人;relative親戚。依據(jù)下文所提到的故事可知,此處指微笑能打破生疏人之間的隔閡。2.Dinterview采訪;operation手術(shù);experiment試驗;appointment約定,約會。作者要去看病,所以應(yīng)當(dāng)是同醫(yī)生提前有預(yù)約。3.Cconclude得出結(jié)論;approve贊同,支持;ensure確保;apply申請,應(yīng)用。依據(jù)空前提到的“confirmedittwice”可知,作者確認(rèn)了兩次,所以打電話目的是確保一切打算好。4.Bcrowded擁擠的;ready打算好的;open開著的;busy勞碌的。依據(jù)后文,醫(yī)生根本不知道作者在說什么,所以應(yīng)當(dāng)是一切沒打算好。5.Dmildly溫順地;roughly粗魯?shù)?privately隱私地;immediately馬上,立刻。事情出乎了作者的意料,因此應(yīng)當(dāng)是作者馬上就生氣了。6.Bhabit習(xí)慣;way方式;accent腔調(diào);tune語調(diào)。作者在前文中說“沒有沖醫(yī)生吼叫”,但是自己又的確生氣了,由此可推想,作者說話的方式不好。7.Crude粗魯?shù)?attached附加的;friendly友好的;devoted忠誠的。依據(jù)空前的“shesmiled”可知,醫(yī)生的看法始終很好,所以是對作者很友好。故選C項。8.Dfigure弄明白;add增加;make使,讓;sort分類。依據(jù)上文提示,作者檢查前,醫(yī)生須要打算好照X光的材料,所以這里指一切都被分類整理好。9.Areflecton思索;workat從事;callat探望;gothrough閱讀,通過。后文提到作者意識
