1、 阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
While the key to success in both (person) and professional relationships lies in your ability (communicate) well, it's not the words that you use your body language that speaks the loudest.
Whether you're aware it or not, when you interact with others, you're continuously giving and receiving wordless signals. All of your nonverbal (behavior)—the gestures you make, your tone of voice and how much eye contact you make—send strong messages. They can build trust and draw others towards you, or they can confuse you're trying to express. These messages don't stop when you stop speaking, either. Even when you're silent, you're still communicating nonverbally.
In some instances, what comes out of your mouth and what you communicate through your body language may be two (total) different things. If you say one thing, but your body language says something else, your listener will likely feel that you're being dishonest.
When faced with such (mix) signals, the listeners have to choose whether to believe your verbal or nonverbal messages. Since body language is a natural language that (show) your true feelings and intentions, they'll likely choose the nonverbal messages.
However, by improving how you understand and use nonverbal communication, you can express what you really mean, connect better with others, and build stronger, more (reward) relationships.

Indoor food growing operations are seeing both successes and failures in the United States. Some companies in the food industry are investing (投资) even as competitors fail.
California-based Plenty Unlimited this summer began working on $300 million indoor plants, while Kroger announced that it would be increasing its availability of vertically (垂直地) farmed produce. Meanwhile, two indoor farming companies that got strong backing—New Jersey's AeroFarms and Kentucky's AppHarvest—filed for financial failure and reorganization. And a five-year-old company in Detroit, Planted Detroit, shut its doors this summer.
The industry changes do not worry Jacob Portillo, a grower with Eden Green Technology, an indoor farming company. "The fact that other people are failing and other people are succeeding is going to happen in any industry you go to," he said.
Indoor farming refers to growing crops indoors, which experts sometimes call "controlled environment agriculture". There are different methods. One method called vertical farming involves putting produce from floor to ceiling, often under artificial lights and with the plants growing in nutrient-enriched water. Other growers are trying very large greenhouses, indoor beds of soil in big buildings and using special robots for parts of the farming process.
Supporters say growing indoors uses less water and land and permits food to be grown closer to consumers, saving on transport. Indoor growing is also a way to protect crops from increasingly extreme weather caused by climate change.
But critics question the sustainability (可持续性) of operations that can require a lot of energy for artificial lights. And they say paying for that light can make profitability impossible. Curt Covington of AgAmerica Lending, a private investment company centered on agriculture, is not convinced that indoor farming operations can work—except in special cases. Given the high cost of indoor operations, Covington said, "It's just hard to be very profitable."
(1)、What is Jacob Portillo's attitude to the indoor food growing industry?A、Positive. B、Worried. C、Unclear. D、Doubtful.(2)、What can we learn about indoor farming?A、It takes a lot of manpower to take care of plants. B、It means growing plants in water instead of soil. C、It protects crops from increasingly extreme weather. D、It is different from controlled environment agriculture.(3)、Why did Curt Covington question indoor farming operations?A、They produce little food. B、They carry great cost. C、They need sunlight. D、They lack investors.(4)、What is the best title for the text?A、What Types of Food Can Be Grown Indoors? B、How Can You Grow Food Indoors Without Soil? C、Indoor Farming Companies Take Agriculture Indoors D、Indoor Food Growing Operations Face an Uncertain Future -

While temperatures continue to climb, visitors are still coming to see Death Valley National Park on the California-Nevada border. The park is known as the hottest place on Earth. This past weekend, the temperatures climbed to 53.33℃. Most visitors at this time of year make it only a short distance to any area in the park before returning to the cool air in their vehicles.
Early information from the park service shows that across the nation's 424 national parks, at least four people have died this year from heat-related causes. That includes a 65-year-old man from San Diego who was found dead at Death Valley earlier this month.
Death Valley National Park suggests visitors be careful and not have expectations of rescue. While park rangers (护林员) drive on park roads and can aid tourists in need, it is unsure that lost visitors will get help in time.
Physical activity can make the heat feel even worse and leave people exhausted. Alessia Dempster, who was visiting from Edinburgh, Scotland, said, "It's very hot especially when there's a gentle wind. You would think maybe that would give you some slight relief from the heat, but it just really does feel like an air blow dryer just going back in your face."
Death Valley is a narrow area that is below sea level and surrounded by high mountains, the park service's website says. The dry air and small plant coverage let sunlight heat up the park surface. The heat then becomes trapped in the valley.
Still, several areas in Death Valley continue to draw tourists. Badwater Basin, made up of salt flats, is considered the lowest point in all of North America. The 183-meter Ubehebe Crater dates back over 2,000 years. And Zabriskie Point is a great sunrise viewing spot.
Josh Miller, a visitor from Indianapolis who has been to 20 national parks so far, shared that feeling. "It's hot, but the scenery is awesome," he said.
(1)、What do most visitors do in Death Valley?A、Cool themselves in time. B、Do lots of physical exercises. C、Stay away from park rangers. D、Carry dryers with themselves.(2)、Why does the author mention the 65-year-old man in paragraph 2?A、To encourage the elderly to travel more. B、To express admiration for mountain climbers. C、To advise people to tour Death Valley more often. D、To show the danger of traveling in Death Valley.(3)、What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about Death Valley?A、Its covering area. B、Its attractive spots. C、The reason why it is so hot. D、The service of its park's website.(4)、What can be inferred about Death Valley from the last two paragraphs?A、It has a short history. B、It is worth visiting. C、It draws fewer and fewer tourists. D、It is unsuitable for viewing sunrise. -

Last Friday, a robot called EveR6 led an orchestra (管弦乐队) in a performance of Korean music at the National Theater of Korea. EveR 6 is about as tall as a person, and has a human-like face that can show emotions. Its joints (关节) allow it to move its arms quickly and smoothly in many different directions.
But EveR 6 doesn't think on its own like some advanced Artificial Intelligence programs. Instead, it has a limited group of movements that it has been trained to perform. To make these movements as natural as possible, EveR 6's movements are based on those captured from real human conductors.
In Friday's performance, the National Orchestra of Korea presented a concert titled "Absence". The concert included five different pieces of music. Two were conducted by EveR 6, and two were conducted by Soo-Yeoul Choi, who leads the Busan Philharmonic Orchestra. Both conductors worked together on the final piece.
Mr. Choi was impressed with the way EveR 6 moved. "The robot was able to present such detailed moves much better than I had imagined," he said.
But Mr. Choi added that the robot's biggest weakness is that it can't hear. "Some people think that conducting is just a combination of hand waving and keeping the beat," said Mr. Choi. "But a good conductor needs to listen to the orchestra, so that he or she can correct and encourage the orchestra as it plays."
Mr. Choi and EveR 6 both conducted a piece of music called "Sense". Instead of musical notes, EveR 6 had instructions for how to play the piece. The conductors and musicians had to work together to create the music. Mr. Choi communicated with the musicians while EveR 6 kept the beat. Mr. Choi said that once EveR 6 started, the musicians had "no choice but to follow its beats".
Mr. Choi doesn't think robots are likely to replace human conductors. But he believes robots could be helpful in situations like practice sessions where the same thing needs to be repeated many times.
(1)、What do we know about EveR 6 from the text?A、It is an experienced conductor. B、It has a lifelike appearance. C、It is able to listen to music. D、It is much shorter than a person.(2)、What does the underlined word "captured" in paragraph 2 meanA、Stolen. B、Stopped. C、Recorded. D、Hidden.(3)、What advantage does a human conductor have over EveR 6?A、Waving hands. B、Keeping the beat. C、Having instructions. D、Communicating with musicians.(4)、What is the text mainly about?A、A robot conducting an orchestra. B、An orchestra having performed in Korea. C、Modern music combined with technology. D、Two conductors getting worldwide recognition. -

18、 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。
Drew and Tia sat at a picnic table in the park on a beautiful fall afternoon. The air around them was filled with the sounds of children playing, dogs barking, and people laughing or calling to one another. But Drew and Tia ignored the sounds around them and focused on the task they had set out to complete. They planned to start a school garden at Jefferson Middle School.
Initially, it had been Drew's idea. He had first seen a school garden when he went to visit his cousin P. J. in Washington. He was amazed at the variety of fruits and vegetables the students at P. J. 's school grew. "It's a lot of work, "P. J. had warned. "But it's also my favorite part of the week. I love putting on my boots, getting outside, and seeing all the new things that have happened. " When Drew returned from his trip to Washington, he told Tia all about what he had seen.
Now, at the table, they were determined to come up with a plan to bring a school garden to Jefferson. Drew opened his notebook and prepared to record any ideas they had for convincing Ms. Milano, the school principal, that the garden was a good idea.
"We're going to need an adult to guide the whole operation, " said Drew thoughtfully. "I know that Mr. Issac gardens at home. Just last week he brought in a whole basket of tomatoes and zucchini from his garden. He might be willing to help. "Drew wrote down Mr. Issac's name in his notebook.
"We might need donations to get this project up and running, " added Tia. "We could tell Ms. Milano that we would be willing to organize a yard sale to raise funds. "
"That's a great idea, " said Drew. "I think we need to be able to present her with a realistic plan. That way, Ms. Milano wouldn't feel as though she agreed to something unknown. "
注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Closing the notebook, they took action.
"Actually, I was doubtful when you first came to me. "said Ms. Milano.
