Sometimes the processes in which people are engaged are dependent upon other processes being completed first, possibly by other people. For example, on an automobile(71), it is necessary for the body to be constructed before the doors can be added on. Attempting to add the doors first would be pointless, because there would be nowhere to attach them. Thus, if there is no body ready to have doors added, the process for adding doors has to be(72)until the process for creating the next body is complete. This is known as(73)Obviously, there are many cases where people have to wait for other people to do something. However, if everyone in such a situation is waiting for someone else to do something first, then no one will ever be able to do anything. When discussing processes, this situation is known as(74), because all of the involved processes are effectively dead because of locks they have on resources. Usually someone in such a situation will eventually notice and abort the process, allowing normal flow to(75), and often warning signs can even be spotted ahead of time to avoid 'it in the first place.A．water threadB．assembly threadC．water lineD．assembly line

高中英语?阅读一、考题回顾题目来源1月5日 下午 山西省 太原市 面试考题试讲题目1.题目：Body Language2.内容：Yesterday, another student and I, representing our university's student association, went to the Capital International Airport to meet this year's international students. They were coming to study at Beijing University. We would take them first to their dormitories and then to the student canteen. After half an hour of waiting for their flight to arrive, I saw several young people enter the waiting area looking around curiously. I stood for a minute watching them and then went to greet them.The first person to arrive was Tony Garcia from Colombia, closely followed by Julia Smith from Britain. After I met them and then introduced them to each other, I was very surprised. Tony approached Julia, touched her shoulder and kissed her on the cheek! She stepped back appearing surprised and put up her hands, as if in defence. I guessed that there was probably a major misunderstanding. Then Akira Nagata from Japan came in smiling, together with George Cook from Canada. As they were introduced, George reached his hand out to the Japanese student. Just at that moment, however, Akira bowed so his nose touched George's moving hand. They both apologized - another cultural mistake!Ahmed Aziz, another international student, was from Jordan. When we met yesterday, he moved very close to me as I introduced myself. I moved back a bit, but he came closer to ask a question and then shook my hand. When Darlene Coulon from France came dashing through the door, she recognized Tony Garcia's smiling face. They shook hands and then kissed each other twice on each cheek, since that is the French custom when adults meet people they know. Ahmed Aziz, on the contrary, simply nodded at the girls. Men from Middle Eastern and other Muslim countries will often stand quite close to other men to talk but will usually not touch women.As I get to know more international friends, I learn more about this cultural "body language". Not all cultures greet each other the same way, nor are they comfortable in the same way with touching or distance between people. In the same way that people communicate with spoken language, they also express their feelings using unspoken "language" through physical distance, actions or posture. English people, for example, do not usually stand very close to others or touch strangers as soon as they meet. However, people from places like Spain, Italy or South American countries approach others closely and are more likely to touch them. Most people around the world now greet each other by shaking hands, but some cultures use other greetings as well, such as the Japanese, who prefer to bow.These actions are not good or bad, but are simply ways in which cultures have developed. I have seen, however, that cultural customs for body language are very general - not all members of a culture behave in the same way. In general, though, studying international customs can certainly help avoid difficulties in today's world of cultural crossroads!3.基本要求：(1)全英文试讲。(2)设计语篇教学。(3)有互动环节。答辩题目What can students get from this reading class?How many steps are there in a complete class?二、考题解析【教学过程】Teaching aims:Knowledge aim:Students can acquire some useful knowledge about different body languages and realize the culture differences they reflect.Ability aim:Students will use the reading skills proficiently.Emotional aim:Students will foster the awareness of cross-culture communication.Key and difficult point:Key Point: Students will be able to obtain the required information from the text.Difficult Point: Students can recognize and be interested in the culture diversities.Teaching procedure:Step 1: Warming-up1.

共用题干The First Four MinutesWhen do people decide whether or not they want to become friends?During their first four minutes together,according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin.In his book,Contact:The First Four Minutes,he offers this advice to anyone interested in starting new friendships:"________(46)A lot of people's whole lives would change if they did just that."You may have noticed that the average person does not give his undivided attention to someone he has just met._________(47)If anyone has ever done this to you,you probably did not like him very much.When we are introduced to new people,the author suggests,we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. In general,he says,"People like people who like themselves".On the other hand,we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves.It is important to appear interested and sympathetic,realizing that the other person has his own needs,fears,and hopes.Hearing such advice,one might say,"But I'm not a friendly,self-confident person.That's not my nature.It would be dishonest for me to act that way."__________(48)We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality."It is like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first,but it goes much better than the old one."But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that way?Perhaps,but according to Dr. Zunin,"total honesty"is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything,and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complainabout one's health or to mention faults one finds in other people.It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one's opinions and impressions.________(49)For a husband and wife or a parent and child,problems often arise during their first four minutes together after they have been apart. Dr. Zunin suggests that these first few minutes together be treated with care.If there are unpleasant matters to be discussed,they should be dealt with later.The author says that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school,along with reading,writing,and mathematics.__________(50)That is at least as important as how much we know._________（49）A:In reply,Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits.B:Much of what has been said about strangers also applies to relationships with family members and friends.C:In his opinion,success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people.D:Every time you meet someone in a social situation,give him your undivided attention for four minutes.E:He keeps looking over the other person'S shoulder,as if hoping to find someone more interesting in another part of the room.F:He is eager to make friends with everyone.

问答题Directions: Read the following texts from which five sentences have been removed. Choose from the sentences A—G the most suitable one to fill each numbered gap in the text (1—5). There are TWO extra sentences that you do not need to use. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET. Practice 1 1 ______ For this reason, there is a current boom in language learning for business people. But unless they can speak a foreign language really well, it is best to save it for socializing. 2 ______ And psychologists say that your body language is much more important than what you say. Doing the wrong thing, making eye contact, touching, using people’s first names, even how you eat and drink—can all be hazardous for people who are unfamiliar with certain cultures. 3 ______ In low context cultures such as North America, Britain, Sweden and Germany, people say things very plainly, and rely on clear verbal communication. High context cultures such as France, Japan, Spain, Saudi Arabia, China and South Korea often use silence or hand signals to communicate, and this can sometimes be as important as speaking. 4 ______ In Japan, people bow to each other. In England, people shake hands firmly, but not very often—while in places like Italy and France people shake hands all the time but not as firmly as the English. The Germans and the Danish nod their heads while they shake hands, as a mark of respect, while people in Mediterranean countries sometimes lean their heads backwards while doing the same thing. 5 ______ For example, the British kiss each other once, on the right cheek, the French kiss each other twice, first on the left cheek and then on the right, but in some cultures, especially in the Middle East, they kiss up to four times and still shake hands![A] But actions speak louder than words.[B] Trying to make people from other cultures feel comfortable can be confusing as well.[C] One of the most important aspects of doing business internationally is being able to speak other languages.[D] Some cultures communicate by using signals.[E] Cultures are divided into “low context” and “high context”.[F] Shaking hands is often the most common form of greeting people, but even this can create problems.[G] As a rule, though, close physical greetings such as kissing are not a good idea.
