8．Lauren sighed.She'd just received an email from her boss，Gus，saying that the product plan she'd been working on wasn't going to be signed off after all.It didn't make any sense.A week ago she was in a meeting with Gus and it seemed he was really interested in it.Sure，he hadn't made much eye contact，and he kept looking out of the window.But she'd just put that down to him being busy.
If Lauren had known a little more about body language，she'd have realized that Gus was trying to tell her he wasn't sold on her idea.He just wasn't using words.
Body language is the unspoken element（要素）of communication that people use to show their true feelings，for example their gestures，facial expressions and postures.When we are able to read these signs，it works to our advantage.For example，it can help us know about people's reaction to what we say so that we can know what we should say to make communication easier.
Difficult conversations are an uncomfortable fact of life.Perhaps you've had to deal with a difficult customer，or needed to talk to someone about his/ her poor performance.Often these situations are complicated（使复杂化） by feelings of nervousness，stress，or even anger.People may try to hide them，but these feelings often show through body language.
If someone is showing the behavior，he may be uninterested or unhappy：arms folded in front of the body；body turned away from you；eyes looking downwards.However，if someone really wants to hear what you said...
（1）What happened to Lauren？
A．She couldn't understand what her boss said.
B．She fell far short of her boss's expectations.
C．She misunderstood Gus's body language.
D．She couldn't work out a product plan.
（2）What is the main idea of the third paragraph？
A．The meaning of body language.
B．The influence of body language.
C．The way to make full use of body language.
D．The reasons why people use body language.
（3）What does the fourth paragraph tell us about body language？
A．It leads to misunderstandings.
B．It helps us tell others' feelings.
C．There are similarities in body language.
D．It is more useful than spoken language.
（4）What will probably be talked about in the following paragraph？
A．Body language that shows worry.
B．Body language that shows relief.
C．Body language that shows gratitude.
D．Body language that shows interests.组卷：0引用：2难度：0.5 -
9．By 2050 we'll be able to send memories，emotions and feelings across the Internet.
（1）.Teenagers will love it.Instead of putting an emoticon （表情符号） at the end of every sentence，they will use an emotion：anger，happiness，or excitement.
I'm talking about telepathy （心灵感应），really.We'll still communicate the traditional way. （2）.Our children will wonder，What is a keyboard？We will enter the age of the "brain net".
Medicine will develop fast，too.We will have cured certain forms of cancer，and we will have begun to treat the disease like the common cold.We'll live with jye.ai.It will no longer be deadly. （3）.Technology will help in this respect. （4）.Smart toilets will perform liquid biopsies （液体活检） to discover cancer cells.Smart objects like phones will check us over automatically.
（5）.By 2050 I think we'll be able to grow many of the important organs （器官） of the body and，rather than allow the organs we're born with to become old and weak，we'll replace them.That's all coming.And it doesn't take much imagination to realise it.
A.We will do a few tests
B.People will live an easy life
C.We won't fear it like we used to
D.Brain science will have changed communication
E.We can already use human cells to grow skin，noses，ears，etc

28．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
A couple of months before I started high school，my parents gave me the greatest gift any teenage boy would ask for：a cellphone.I lived on that phone all summer.I always texted my friends，even at night.And I paid no attention to the people and things around myself.Being connected to the Internet was more important than being present.
So，you can imagine my displeasure when I learned what my dad had planned for our family vacation that year.It was not the Disneyland trip or beach vacation that I had been hoping for. "This year，" my dad said，"we'll be doing something special，something I used to do with my dad when I was a kid.We're going camping in the forest!"
His excitement was met with a disappointed sigh（失望的叹息），which was my communication style at that age.But he had made the decision and would not change his mind.I comforted myself by telling myself that it was still a vacation.I remained uninfluenced when they were busy preparing for the vacation.
My mind was on my phone，the texts flying back and forth.I focused on the screen in my hands so much that the first time I looked up was when we drove across a bridge on the trip to our campsite.
I looked out of the window and saw a fast-moving river.The air blowing into the car from the open windows was hot and smelt of trees.But that didn't matter to me.The reason why I had looked up was for something far more serious and annoying.My phone no longer had service.The signal was weak.During the last hour of the drive，there was no signal at all.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
My dad explained he had chosen a campsite that had no phone service._________
The next morning，without checking my phone as usual，I fixed my mind on nature around myself._______组卷：7引用：2难度：0.2
