六、选择最恰当的选项完成短文
38. Choose the best answer and completethe passage.
Would you like to be comfortable talking toother people? Holding conversations may help.
Holding conversations may not seem like askill. 1, everyone talks to other people frequently.
But talking to new people makes many peoplenervous.
Here are some ways to make conversations morefun and less awkward.
Body language
As strange as it may seem, much 2happenswithout any words.
The way you stand and act tells people a lotabout you. When you’re talking with someone, stand up straight and look them inthe eye. This shows that you’re confident. And if you’re nervous, acting likeyou’re confident can help you feel more confident. When you’re listening, lookat the other person. Lean forward to show that you’re interested in what they’resaying.
Back and forth
A good conversation is not a 3,which means that both people need to participate. If you’re doing all thetalking, pause to give the other person time to speak. If they don’t sayanything, try asking them a question.
Questions can also help if you’re struggli ng（挣扎）tothink of something to say. If you ask the other person a question, they’ll talkfor a while. Maybe they’ll say something relate with and can reply to. Peopleare generally 4tofind others with similar interests.
When you ask questions, try to come up withopen-ended ones. That means questions where the answer is more than just “yes”or “no.” Open - ended questions in English tend to start with who,what, when, where and why.
Don’t fear 5.
Don’t panic if the conversation has quietmoments. Every conversa tion has some. Think of them as opportunities to changethe subject to something you’re interested in. You could also c omment on（评论）somethingyou’ve done recently. Or once again, you can ask a question about the otherperson.
So if you’re shy, be brave, ask a question,and start a conversation. As with any skill, you will6onholding conversations with time.
（1）A . AboveallB . InbriefC . AfterallD . Eventhough（2）A . emotionB . communicationC . informationD . situation（3）A . dialogueB . gameC . discussionD . speech（4）A . difficultB . faithfulC . excitedD . honest（5）A . conclusionsB . questionsC . conversationsD . silence（6）A . increaseB . improveC . betterD . rise七、单词拼写
39. Read the passage andfill in the blanks with proper words.
A local primary school is considering using tablet computersin all classrooms from next year. The following text has been written by a teacher at the school.
Should we use tablet computers in the classroom?
The use of tablet computersin the classroom has become an increasingly popular choice in many primary schools across the country, including many in our local area. It is important that we consider this opportunity, but we must also be a ________of the problems.
On one hand, there are many a________to use tablets in the classroom.
Firstly, tablets could improve productivityduring the school day. Because of their familiarity with computers and mobile phones, many of our students can type faster than they can write by hand. T________, using tablets in the classroom could reduce the time it takes for them to complete tasks. Additionally, there are endless tablet functions（功能）which could provide interesting teaching a________. For example, we could play computer games to
teach Maths, or make simple flashes to show how magnets behave. Also, students could take photos outdoors and then use them for writing tasks.
However, we must also consider the possible problems with introducing tablets to our classrooms. Some students may play with the tablets instead of f________on their work. Another problem is that, while many students can use tablets already, many of our teachers are not good at it and would need to be trained. We may also have problems with the tablets breaking, which would be very expensive to r________. This is in addition to the cost of buying the tablets in the first place.
All in all, even though using tablets in the classroom may have many problems, it seems that it would be a wonderful opportunity for students and teachers at our school. There are a lot of costs indeed, but it would c________prove to be a worthwhile investment.

Dear Grandma and Grandpa,
As you may have heard from my parents, I’min China right now on a cultural exchange program. I’m enjoying my time herevery much. I have made new friends here, many of whom are locals. Through myinteractionwiththem, I’ve noticed some interesting cultural differences.
One of the mostobviousculturaldifferences is the size of food portions in restaurants. Back home inAmerica, the food portions are usually larger than those I’ve seen in China.We’re even used to seeing su per-sized dishes in some restaurants.
However, in Asia, food portions aregenerally not extremely large. I’m must encouraged to eat until I’m full andenjoy different kinds of food. Eating out in Asia is often a big socialaffair.People here eat out a lot. There are all kinds of restaurants. And there arefood stands and food carts-even on the sidewalk.
Another interesting aspect of eating out isthe way food is served. Back home in America, each diner orders their ownmeal. When people eat out in Asia, they usually order food to share. Nearlyevery time I eat out with friends in China, each of us has our own bowl ofrice or noodles, and we share the rest of the dishes. This is an excellentway to try new foods! One thing that makes me confused is the way people payfor food at a restaurant.
In the U.S. we often ask for separatechecks, so we eachpay for our own meal. But here, if diners decide to pay separately, theytypically don’t request separate checks. Instead, they give money to oneperson who pays the bill. Peo ple also don’t tip the server. Instead, there isoften a service charge added to the bill.
I hope you are doing well. I’ll write youagain!
Love,
Margare
