publicworriedabout______isontheirtables.A．what;thatB．which;thatC．that;whichD．that;what答案：D解析：试题分析：第一个空为so…that句型“如此。。以至于”，第二个空是考查介词后的宾语从句，通过分析可知从句中少主语，that不引导介词后的宾语从句，which得有选择范围，故选what。句意：饮食在中国如此重要以至于我们有“饮食文化”这个术语。但是最近的报道却让公众们担心起了饭桌上的东西。所以D选项正确。2.单句改错。1.Howmuchpercentageofhisincomeistaxable(可纳税的)?

A.thelimitationsofeyecontacts

C.properbehaviorindifferentsituationsinpeople’sdailylife

D.theroleofeyecontactsincommunicationbetweenpeople答案：60.A;61.C;62.C;63.D.解析：60．选A。文章仅仅谈论了目光接触的含义，并未涉及与语言表达的对比，因此B不对。文中只提到astarelongerthan3secondsisdifferent而没提到unacceptable，所以C不对。文中提到Holdtheglanceforasecondlongerandyouhavemadeadifferentstatement.Holditforseconds,andthemeaninghaschangedagain；即staringataperson的含义因时间长短而不同；而且Muchdependsonthepersonandthesituation，也因人、场合的不同而不同，并非仅仅代表有兴趣。所以D不对。61．选C。从下文cutoffeyecontacts可知。62．选C。从上文youneedtosendoutasignaltellingothersyouwanttobeleftalone.Soyoucutoffeyecontacts中的cutoffeyecontacts可知。63．选D。A选项意思为“目光接触的局限/不足”。B选项意思是“通过目光接触进行的思想交流”。而本文中要讲的是目光接触所代表的含义而非主动的思想交流。C选项意思是“人们日常生活中的不同情境中的恰当行为”。与本文中心不符。D选项意思是“目光交流在人与人的交流中的作用。”通过本文所举的例子可以看出D正确。10."Pleaseclosethewindows."hesaidtome.→He_____me
