Every culture has different levels of physical cl

When someone violates an appropriate distance, people may feel uncomfortable or defensive. Their actions may well be open to misinterpretation. In Western society, fo

20、ur distances have been defined according to the relationship between the people involved. They are intimate distance, personal distance, social distance, and public distance. These four distances are associated with the four main types of relationship intimate, personal, social and public. Now well

21、talk about the four personal distances one by one. First, well begin with intimate distance. 1Intimate distance ranges from close contact such as touching, to 45cm. In British society, it tends to be seen as 2an inappropriate distance for public behaviour and entering the intimate space of another p

22、erson with whom you do not have a close relationship 3can be extremely disturbing. Next, lets look at the second type of distance, personal distance, which ranges from 45cm to 1.2m. The far phase of personal distance is considered to be 4the most appropriate for people holding a conversation. At thi

23、s distance 5it is easy to see the other persons expressions and eye movements, as well as their overall body language. Handshaking can occur within the bounds of personal distance. OK, lets move onto the third type of personal distance, social distance, which covers the range from 1.2m to 3.6m. 6Thi

24、s is the normal distance for impersonal business, for example working together in the same room or 7during social gatherings. Seating is also important; communication is far more likely to be considered as a formal relationship if the interaction is carried out across a desk. In addition, if the sea

25、ting arrangements are such that one person appears to look down on another, an effect of domination may be created. At a social distance, 8speech needs to be louder and eye contact remains essential to communication, otherwise feedback will be reduced and the interaction may end. Finally, the last t

26、ype of personal distance is public distance, which ranges from 3.7m to 4.5m. 9Teachers and public speakers address groups at a public distance. At such distances exaggerated non-verbal communication is necessary for communication to be effective. Subtle facial expressions are lost at this distance,

27、10so clear hand gestures are often used as a substitute. Larger head movements are also typical of an experienced public speaker who is aware of changes in the way body language is perceived at longer distances. OK, today weve taken a brief look at the four personal distances associated with four ma

28、in types of relationship. It is worth noting that these distances are considered the norm in Western society. Understanding these distances allows us to approach others in non-threatening and appropriate ways. We can understand how others feel about us, how they view the relationship and, if appropr

29、iate, adjust our behaviour accordingly. 【知识模块】 听力 2 【正确答案】 close contact 【试题解析】 本题考查对细节的捕捉。录音提到，亲密距离的范围是从 close contact(密切接触 )到 45厘米的距离范围内。故本题填入 close contact。 【知识模块】 听力 3 【正确答案】 public behaviour 【试题解析 】 本题考查对例子的理解。录音提到，在英国，亲密距离被看作是公共行为 (public behaviour)的不恰当的距离。故本题填入 public behaviour。 【知识模块】 听力 4 【

M: Its about my term paper. I know its due next Monday, but I was hoping. I dont think I can get it done b

37、y then. 1Could I please turn it in by the end of next week instead? I have a really good excuse. W: Oh, Im sure you do! Ive been teaching 33 years. Do you know how many excuses Ive heard? “My dog ate my paper.“ “My roommate had a party so I couldnt concentrate.“ “I have seven papers due on the same

38、day!“ “I went home to see my parents and my car broke down.“ My favorite was a student who told me she “forgot“ all about her term paper until the day before it was due. Its amazing she remembered to come to class. M: I didnt forget, madam. Ive been working on the paper, really! Here, I brought my o

39、utline and a rough draft. Its just that. Well, 2a lot of things have been going on in my life, and Im having trouble managing things. W: I see. You know, I assigned that paper four weeks ago, and Ive been reminding students about it in each class. So, tell me your story. Whats happening in your life

40、? M: First, about two weeks ago, 3my roommate found out his mother was real sick. So hes been really upset, and, uh, I went home with him for a couple of days to see his mom. That caused me to miss biology lab, and I have a huge biology final coming up on Tuesday that I really need to study for this

41、 weekend. Then I got the flu last week, and missed a day of class. I tried to work on your paper that day, but I really felt horrible. W: OK, I can understand that. Im glad that youre helping your roommate through a tough time. Thats more important than school work. But all this seems to have happen

42、ed recently. What about the two weeks after I first assigned the term paper? M: I guess I didnt use that time very well. I kind of put off getting started on it. W: Yes, you did. You know, if I had a dollar for every time Ive heard a student say that. M: Im sorry, Professor. Ive learned my lesson. I

43、f I had spent just a little bit of time each week on the paper, I could have had it done on time. 4I know now that I need to plan for unexpected things. W: 5You seem like a bright, conscientious young man. So Ill tell you what. This time you can turn in your paper no later than 9 a.m. Friday, right

44、here on my office desk. M: Thank you, Professor! You bet I will. 1. Why does the man visit the woman? 2. What is the mans excuse? 3. According to the man, what happened to his roommate? 4. What lesson has the man learned from talking to the woman? 5. What does the woman think of the man? 12 【正确答案】 A

45、 【试题解析】 选项都是动词不定式，由此可知题目与原因或目的相关。 对话开头男士说论文周一要交，但是他那时做不完，问女士能否到下周末交。由此可知他来找女士的目的是 A“请求延长最后期限 ”。 B“获取关于时间管理的建议 ”与男士说的 about my term paper不符。 C“请求帮忙写论文 ”也只是用 term paper设置干扰。 D“为过期未交的学期论文找借口 ”则是利用 excuses设置干扰，男士提excuses的原因是为了获得延长上交论文的时间，所以 D项也是错误的。 【知识模块】 听力 13 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 录音中提到，学生说自己由于最近事情比较多，没有安排

46、好时间，无法在截止日期前完成学期论文， D项 has difficulty managing things是概括表达，故正确。 A“论文被狗吃了 ”、 B“有几篇 论文都是同一天要交 ”和 C“忘记了 ”都是其他学生以前说过的借口。 【知识模块】 听力 14 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 对话中男士说到他室友的母亲病了，心里很难过，所以他陪室友回家几天看望室友的母亲，因此耽误了学期论文的写作，可知正确答案是 C。 A“考试没及格 ”和 B“狗不见了 ”在录音中没有提到。男士说到他上周得了 flu，但不是他室友得流感。所以 D项也不对。 【知识模块】 听力 15 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】

47、 男士说到通过这件事，他已经吸取了教训，知道自己应该安排好时间，而且对于意料之外的事情也要做好相应的计划和准备，预留充足的时间，所以答案选 B。 对话中女士肯定了男士陪室友回去看他母亲的做法，所以 A“下次不应该帮室友 ”错误。 C“他应该要好好锻炼，让自己更健康 ”在对话中没有提到。 D项 “他应该按时完成学期论文 ”并不是男士在此次谈话中得到的教训，也不能选。 【知识模块】 听力 16 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 选项都是对 He的评价，听音时注意相关信息。 女士听完男士解释后，肯定了他帮人的做法，同时提醒他下次要合理安排好时间应对突发事件。最后她夸男士有 良心 (conscienti

48、ous)，故 C项正确。 D项 conscious”自觉的，有意识的 ”是 conscientious的近音干扰。 【知识模块】 听力 17 【听力原文】 M: Hi! Welcome to WebWare. Sit down please. W: Thanks, nice to see you again. M: You too. 6So, you said you wanted to come in and have a chat with me before you start your work here. Tell me about it. W: 6Yeah, I just want

49、 to have a look round and ask a few more questions. Im wondering whether it is okay for me to do so. M: Of course, just fire away with your questions! W: Well, first of all, I was surprised when I received the e-mail about the offer. Thank you for trusting me, and I am delighted to receive the job offer. M: Good!
