课时作业B：能力层面

Ⅰ.阅读理解

A

(2019·合肥市第二次教学质检)In today's society，language plays a key role in defining gender(性别) by vocabulary，and also the non-verbal(非语言的) vocabulary. Each one of these different types of ways of communicating is obviously different between men and women.

Many different studies show that men tend to talk much more than women.It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men; this is due to the fact that women tend to be interrupted more often than men are，and also have the ability to speak more clearly，precisely，and more quickly than men.In one study it was found that women spoke for an average of three minutes describing a painting，as opposed to the thirteen-minute average it took men to describe it.

Men and women also tend to have a very different non-verbal way of communicating，which can also make it very hard for one another to understand what the opposite sex is trying to say.Men's body language is much more reserved when they are talking to women.Men tend not to make as much eye contact and they generally stay farther away from women when talking to them.Men avoid other people's body space while talking，and they also tend to sit back when talking.All of these have given off the impression of disinterest or boredom.Women are by far better listeners and much more enjoyable to talk with and they tend to raise more topics for conversation.

Women also make it clearer whether or not the conversation is going somewhere or just stuck in neutral.After learning about our styles of communicating with each other，I have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating，what fun would it be if we all spoke the same “language”？ The little games men and women play with each other while conversing would be lost.The question everyone asks himself or herself after talking with someone of the opposite sex，“I wonder if there's something there？” would no longer exist.

【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了男性和女性因性别差异而导致在沟通方式上也有所不同的现象。

1．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．The differences between men's and women's languages. B．The different speed of men's and women's speech. C．The ability of men's and women's spoken language. D．The non-verbal vocabulary of men and women.

B [代词指代题。由this承接第二段中的“It has also been proven that women tend to speak faster than men”可推知，此处的this指代女性比男性说话快的现象，故选B。]

2．In what way do men and women differ according to the third paragraph? A．Speed of understanding. B．Understanding of speech roles. C．Politeness of communication. D．Application of body language.

D [推理判断题。根据第三段的整体内容，尤其是该段第二句“Men's body language is much more reserved when they are talking to women”可推知，本段主要讲的是男性和女性在非语言表达方式上的不同，即肢体语言使用上的差异，故选D。]

3．What is the author's attitude to the differences between men's and women's communication?

A．Cautious. C．Ambiguous.

B．Favorable. D．Skeptical.

B [观点态度题。根据最后一段第二句和第三句“After learning about our styles of communicating with each other，I have decided that although men have not quite mastered communicating，what fun would it be if we all spoke the same ‘language’？ The little games men and women play with each other while conversing would be lost”可推知，作者对男性和女性在沟通的差异性上持赞成态度，故选B。cautious“谨慎的”；favorable“赞成的”；ambiguous“模棱两可的”；skeptical“怀疑的”。]

4．What is the best title for the text? A．Women，born excellent talkers
