Unit 11　The Media(B)

Ⅰ.阅读理解

(2017·深圳第一次调研)Much information can be conveyed，purely through our eyes，so the expression“eyes also talk”is often heard.

Can you recall any experience that further proves this statement？On a bus you may quickly glance at a stranger，but not make eye contact.If he senses that he is being stared at，he may feel uncomfortable.

It is the same in daily life.If you are stared at for more than necessary，you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you.If nothing goes wrong，you will feel angry about others' staring at you that way.Eyes do convey information，right?

Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive.But things are different when it comes to staring at the opposite sex.If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to turn away his gaze(注视)，his intentions are obvious.That is，he wishes to attract her attention，to make her understand that he is showing affection for her.

However，the normal eye contact for two people engaged in conversation is that the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time，in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking，to tell him that he is attentive.

If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking，as if he tries to control you，you will feel uneasy.A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim，since he believes the false idea that to look straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication.

In fact，continuous eye contact happens between lovers only，who will enjoy looking at each other tenderly for a long time，to show love that words cannot express.

Evidently，eye contact should be done according to the relationship between two people and the specific situation.

3．belongs　[考查主谓一致。句意：这一活动是关于采取行动向世界表明阅读和写作的权利是属于所有人的。根据句子成分可知，从句的主语为the right，为单数，故填belongs。]

【答案】　

Three years ago I failed an important exam in my life and became a student at ordinary school.Although I felt disappointed at the shabby campus and my poorly­equipped classroom， I found the teachers and considerate.，I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere in class.I decided to make the best it.I worked hard and got along with my teachers and classmates.Whenever I had difficulties，they always available.Soon，I became one of the top in my class， greatly increased my confidence and got me motivated.My experience tells me that it is not what you are given but how you make use of it that determines who are.

第一处：a→an　考查冠词。ordinary以元音音素开头，其前应用不定冠词an。故将a改为an。

第二处：删除but或but→yet　考查连词。although为连词，意为“尽管”，不与but 连用，但可与副词yet连用，故删除but或将but改为yet。

第三处：impatient→patient　考查形容词。根据上文Although I felt disappointed at the shabby campus and my poorly­equipped classroom 可知，尽管作者很失望，但作者发现老师们既贴心又有耐心。故将impatient改为patient。

第四处：Beside→Besides　考查副词。位于句首作状语，应用副词；beside为介词，意为“在……旁边”，besides意为“此外；而且”，为副词。故将Beside改为Besides。

第五处：best后加of　考查固定搭配。make the best of为固定短语，意为“充分利用……”。

第六处：good→well　考查副词。get along well with...为固定搭配，意为“与……相处得好”。

第七处：are→were　考查时态。根据上文Whenever I had difficulties及全文主体时态为一般过去时可知，此处描述的是发生在过去的动作，应用一般过去时。故将are改为were。

第八处：student→students　考查名词。one of...意为“……之一”，其后接可数名词复数形式，student为可数名词，故将student改为students。

第九处：that→which　考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知，此处是非限制性定语从句(前有逗号)，先行词为前面整个句子，关系词在从句中作主语，因此，应用which引导该从句。故将that改为which。

第十处：we→you　考查代词。根据上文中的what you are given和how you make use of it 可知，此处指“你”，故将we改为you。
