21、We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions and to communicate with other people. We can learn a lot about what a person is thinking by watching his or her body language. Words are important, but the way a person stands, folds his or her arms, or moves his or her hands can also give us information about his or her feelings.

How close we stand to other people when we are talking varies（不同）greatly from one culture to another. This is because different people have different “comfort zones”. For example, American businessmen usually like to sit across from each other. Japanese businessmen, on the other hand, prefer to sit next to each other and use less contact than Americans. Again, a comfortable “talking space” for Latin Americans is about one-and-a-half feet away from the other person. However, for many Northern Europeans, this is too close. They prefer to keep about three-feet between speakers. Such differences can create communication problems. Latin Americans and Asians often say that the British and Americans are cold and unfriendly. On the other hand, the British and Americans often see other cultures as aggressive. In both examples, the problem is caused by different ideas about personal space. If you stand too close or too far from someone, you might give a wrong idea. For example, some people might stand back to make more space. Maybe they’re only moving into their comfort zones, but the other person might think they’re being distant and impolite.

【1】What does the author mainly want to show in Paragraph 1?

A．The importance of word communication.

B．The importance of information.

C．The importance of body language

D．The importance of thoughts and opinions.

【2】According to the passage, what is “comfort zones” for Northern Europeans?

A．About one-and-a-half feet away from the other person.

B．Less than one-and-a-half feet away from the other person.

C．About three-feet away from the other person.

D．Less than two-feet away from the other person.

【3】How does the author develop his idea in Paragraph 2?

A．By raising and answering questions.

B．By telling a story.

C．By making a definition（定义）.

D．By providing examples.

23、Run at the Olympics

Can only professional (专业的) athletes take part in high-level sport events? Now amateur (业余的) runners may also have the chance to run at the Olympics.

The Chinese Athletic Association (CAA) said that they would allow two amateur runners — one man and one woman — to take part in the marathon race at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, reported China Daily.

Amateurs are people who have never been in provincial (省的) and national teams, Du Zhaocai of the CAA told China Daily. The whole distance (距离) of a marathon is about 42.195 km. For the amateurs, the man needs to finish it within 2 hours 19 minutes and the woman within 2 hours 45 minutes. That’s almost as fast as professional runners.

Long-distance running is becoming popular in China. In 2017, 328 marathons were held across the country. More than 2.8 million runners took part in them.

“We’d love to see more and more Chinese people running marathons. Allowing amateurs to join the Olympics might encourage more to play sports,” Du told Sohu news. But this is not the only example of China trying to combine (结合) high-level sport events with ordinary (普通的) people.

China’s 13th National Games was held in Tianjin from Aug. 27 to Sept. 8, 2017. During it thousands of ordinary people competed with professional athletes. They took part in 126 games in 9 sports, such as badminton and ping-pong, reported Xinhua.

24、

There are many types of maps in the world. Most of them are widely used in our everyday life. Different maps have different uses.When we are in a new place, a proper map may help us solve the problems easily.

Tourist (游客) maps, for example, have signs to show places of interest in an area.When tourists read these maps,it is easy for them to find where to go and what to see in a place and it is easy for them to go and find their ways to these places, too.

Road maps show large areas so that people can plan long trips. We use different numbers to stand for different roads. For example, if you want to go to Wood Green, you just follow No. 621 Road and keep looking at the road signs.

Distribution (分布) maps use colors or signs to show facts about an area. For example, what languages people speak, how many people live in an area, how cold and hot some places are, or whether a place is short of water.

Some maps, such as railway maps, use straight lines to show everything. It is easy for people to read them. Trains are fast. People don’t have to think about small places they go past. They just need to know the two ends of their trips.
