However, anyone can boost their confidence by ensuring their, body language conveys a positive message.Practice these gestures and movements to project an airport confidence. Lean Forward When you are in a conversation, leaning forward indicates interest and attention, while maintaining distance indicates that you are disinterested. Research suggests that nonverbal signals such as leaning forward and facing straight ahead help convey feelings of interest. Slow Your Movements Fast movements make you appear more anxious. Everything from hand gestures to your walking pace can make a difference; slow down and notice how you feel more confident when you take your time. The key, however, is to maintain other signals like eye contact and posture while moving more slowly. Slow movements combined with poor eye contact and slouched (耷拉的) posture may cause people to see you less confident. Keep Your Chin Up Do you look at the ground when you are walking or talking? Instead, keeping your head up and facing your conversation partner conveys interest and confidence. It might feel unnatural initially, but you will eventually become used to this more confident pose. Give a Firm Handshake A weak handshake is a sign of a lack of confidence, so offer a firm hand when meeting others. How long your handshake lasts can also influence how people perceive you. Research has found that the length of a normal handshake is around three seconds or less. Handshakes lasting longer than three seconds are associated with less enjoyment of the interaction and more anxiety. 21. Which way of walking conveys confidence? A. Walk fast with head straight up. B. Move fast with a leaning posture. C. Walk slowly with proper eye contact. D. Move slowly with maintained distance. 22. Which body language requires considering the length of time? A. Lean Forward. B. Slow Your Movements. C. Keep Your Chin Up. D. Give a Firm Handshake. 23. Who is the text intended for? A. Those who have a passion for body language. B. Those who run projects about body language. C. Those who lack confidence in communication. D. Those who desire to boost their language skills. B You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression — this was the theme of this year’s International Public Speaking Competition (IPSC), held in London from May 11 to 12. Thirty-three young speakers aged 16 to 20 from around the world gathered at The English Speaking Union to tell their stories, including Wu Dongxu, 19, a student from China. To him, the event wasn’t just about giving a speech on first impressions. It also made a strong impression on him. “Rather than a competition, the experience was more like an inspiring research trip to me, a trip that allowed me to see firsthand the differences and similarities between Chinese and foreign cultures,” said Wu. Apart from the obvious differences in food, transportation and climate, what impressed Wu most was the different styles of Chinese and foreign public speaking. Although still a teen, Wu is no stranger to the public speaking podium (讲台). He has participated in many speaking competitions since 2017. But on the stage of the IPSC, speakers had no podium to stand behind. They just had to face the audience. “This was the first time that I gave a speech without a podium, which made me realize how important eye contact and body language are,” said Wu. “It also gave me more freedom to convey more information with my body language instead of just with words.” Another difference that caught Wu’s attention was the evaluation criteria (评价标准). According to him, in every speaking competition he had participated in in China, things like pronunciation, fluency and quality of language are always important. But to his surprise, in the IPSC accents and grammatical mistakes are not considered in the evaluation process. It is the story itself that matters most. “Audiences are eager to hear powerful stories, no matter where they are from. That’s because the emotions expressed in them are shared by all human beings although there are the cultural differences.” said Wu. “Diversity, respect, tolerance and understanding — these are what the IPSC really wants to stress and spread.” 24. What is the topic of this year’s IPSC? A. Cultural difference. B. First impression. C. Body language. D. English education. 25. What left Wu Dongxu the deepest impression? A. The food culture. B. The transportation means. C. The climate. D. The public speaking style. 26. What can we learn about the IPSC? A. Speakers are allowed to use podiums. B. Body language plays an important part. C. Pronunciation and fluency matter a lot. D. Language quality is considered the most important. 27. What is Wu Dongxu’s attitude towards the IPSC? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Opposed. C Modern research on body language — often called nonverbal behavior — began in the 1960s and 1970s with studies that aimed to demonstrate the universality (普遍性) of facial expressions of emotion. That work was inspired, in part, by Charles Darwin’s study “The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1872).” But it had received little attention for around a century, according to nonverbal communication expert David Matsumoto. Then modern researchers examined how the brain reacts to facial expressions, and how babies copy facial and hand gestures. And scientists have also realized the complexity (复杂性) of body language. Much research has suggested that body language is often hard to interpret, or understand. But for years some advisers and experts have been using their knowledge in many practical (实际的) areas. “I help people influence and persuade others around how trustworthy and credible (可信的) their message is by helping them with their specific nonverbal communication,” said Mark Bowden. He is the author of “Winning Body Language”, a guide for readers including business people and famous people. He focuses on where a person faces their body and how much space they take up, as well as their gestures. Some experts also say they can use those signals to interpret hidden emotions. Joe Navarro is the author of “What Every Body Is Saying.” It is a book about reading a person’s mind from their nonverbal behavior. It’s easy to spot a speaker’s lip movements when he faces a question he doesn’t like, Joe said. While the work of these experts attracts large audiences, many scientists are unsure whether their methods are reliable. “Our facial expressions show certain types of emotional states,” Matsumoto said. So do some body movements. But “people do all kinds of things with their bodies,” he said. Your raised eyebrow (眉毛) could express doubt — but it might also signal discomfort or surprise. The same hand gesture could mean different things in different cultures, he said. 28. What role did Charles Darwin’s study play according to paragraph 1? A. It unlocked the secret of the human mind. B. It promoted the development of human language. C. It encouraged people to care more about animals. D. It helped start modern research on body language. 29. What can we infer about Mark Bowden? A. He gives advice on business language. B. He teaches people about body language. C. He focuses mainly on facial expressions. D. He pays more attention to spoken language. 30. What did David Matsumoto think of Joe Navarro’s methods? A. They were doubtful. B. They were instructional. C. They were necessary. D. They were experimental. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. Is nonverbal behavior that complex? B. Can body language tell important truths? C. Do experts know how to interpret emotions? D. Should you know more about body language? D Body language is an essential part of communication and can be just as important as our spoken language exchanges. Body language can be both conscious or unconscious actions, so it is important to make sure your body is sending the same messages as your words to ensure good communication. These actions can strengthen the verbal (口头的) messages you’re sending or it can lead to mistrust or confusion — signs of poor communication and misunderstanding. Body language can make interacting with others and expressing yourself much easier, but it can also introduce new challenges. Some nonverbal signs unintentionally communicate parts of ourselves that we don’t want others to know. For example, bad posture or fidgeting (坐立不安) may communicate lack of confidence, something we may not intend for others to know about us. But body language can strengthen our verbal messages and solidify what we are telling others. Facing someone with eye contact or taking notes while someone is speaking can communicate genuine interest. Without these signs, teachers may not be able to assess a student’s understanding. When you’re speaking sincerely, it’s natural for your body language to respond to your words through gestures or facial expressions. We also use gestures in conversations to tell stories or describe objects, often using hand signals to show how big or small something is. These are largely unconscious, naturally occurring forms of body language. It can be difficult to communicate confidence in your actions when you may not feel it internally. When you display confident body language, such as good posture or eye-contact, even if you’re making a conscious effort, studies have shown that it can lead to feeling more confident. When speaking to others, practice controlling impulses to fidget and planting your feet confidently to increase self-esteem. 32. What would your body language tell if it can’t go with your speech? A. A probable disbelief. B. True meaning behind words. C. An unclear condition. D. A dull speech. 33. Why does the author give some examples in paragraph 2? A. To show body language can help us all the time. B. To tell body language can show the true side of us. C. To explain how challenging it is to read body language. D. To tell teachers how to assess a student’s understanding. 34. What does the author intend to tell in the last two paragraphs? A. Hand signals are essential ways to make ourselves understood. B. Naturally occurring forms of body language makes us confident. C. Proper body language can help us a lot in gaining confidence. D. When speaking to others, try your best to hide your body language. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Knowing Your Friends with Body Language B. Understanding Others by Body Language C. Being Smart in Showing Your Body Language D. Helping Communicate with Body Language 第二节　(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Read Candidates’ Body Language in an Interview Body language matters, especially in interviews. 36 Our posture, gestures, movements or facial expressions can shape our reputations. Learning to read body language is about understanding candidates’ motives. Reading body language during interviews can provide valuable insights into a candidate’s personality. 37 Here are some common interview body language signals that you can learn to read. Observe extreme behaviour. A candidate’s harmless action doesn’t mean they won’t fitin well at your company. But be careful about extreme behaviours, like a person constantly checking their phone. 38 You can read people’s body language by observing changes in their movements or posture. Imagine, for example, that a candidate suddenly starts tapping their foot. Maybe they feel the interview is taking too long. Or perhaps they’re facing an uncomfortable question. Connect the dots. 39 For example, people may cross their arms when they’re cold. But, when you see a candidate crossing their arms, crossing their legs and balling their fists at the same time, prepare yourself for an aggressive (咄咄逼人的) answer. Candidate experience greatly depends on an interviewer’s body language. Positive body language can make candidates relax and open up. Negative body language can spark (引发) defensive and reserved reactions. 40 A. Spot the difference. B. Ask detailed questions. C. It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. D. They don’t necessarily act the same way all the time. E. However, understanding body language isn’t an exact science. F. You can’t always tell what a specific gesture means on its own. G. Be aware of mistakes to preserve a positive candidate experience. 第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I visited my best friend Sean, whose mom, Cheryl could only communicate by her gesture I couldn’t understand.

In Asia, people use lots of body language, facial expressions, and silence 56 (express) meaning. For instance, in Japan, it might be 57 (normal) viewed as rude to directly object to a statement. However, in the West, speaking directly is not only normal but valued. People place 58 (much) focus on the actual words being used than on cues (暗示) of body language. Additionally, in China, it is common for someone to smile when they don’t understand something. This could be 59 (confuse) for a Westerner who might think this means the listener understands and agrees with 60 is being said. Another communicative feature 61 is viewed differently across the world is interruptions (插嘴). In many 62 (part) of the West, interrupting another person when they are speaking is considered to be rude. However, in some African and Latin American countries, it is viewed as a means to join and actively participate in the conversation. Even within 63 same continent (洲), cultures can vary from country to country. For example, in the UK, it is very common to say “please” and “thank you” to someone 64 (serve) you in a shop or restaurant, but in Spain, these expressions 65 (hear) much less often and are reserved more for requesting or receiving kindness. 第四部分　写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66. 假如你是李华，你的英国朋友罗伯特准备来中国学习，因此想了解一些中国人的日常肢体语言。请你用英语给他写封邮件，向他介绍一些日常的肢体语言，内容包括： 1. 开心分享； 2. 介绍几种大家熟悉的中国肢体语言； 注意：1. 词数80左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总次数； 3.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第二节(满分25分) 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。 It was the last day of the month-long summer camp. All the camp leaders and volunteers were preparing for the grand wrap-up event that evening.

But I would look up and see the rest of the gym and realize how big the job was. The whole situation felt so unfair. I wasn’t really happy then. I’m not proud of it, but I was angry as well. I could hear the sounds of people talking, laughing, and generally having a great time outside. There was silence in the gym, except for my sweep, sweep, sweep. During a break between sweeps, I looked up. George was quietly and matter-of-factly moving the speakers and cleaning the stage at the front of the gym. I noticed he worked alone as well.

I turned back and asked if she was OK, she explained that she was sick and had to struggle to walk with her shopping bags. I offered to carry her things and walked her back home, but she refused because she didn’t want to give me any trouble. I told her it didn’t matter and her home was on my way home. It was a white lie. As I walked with her she talked with me and introduced herself. I in turn told her my name. She asked if I knew Ray Robert. I was shocked and said yes, that was my dad.

I am glad that my small active kindness ended in a chance meeting that meant so much to the two people. 第二部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节　(共15小题；每小题2.5分，共37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A People who don’t feel confident in social situations often have trouble interacting with others. However, anyone can boost their confidence by ensuring their, body language conveys a positive message.Practice these gestures and movements to project an airport confidence. Lean Forward When you are in a conversation, leaning forward indicates interest and attention, while maintaining distance indicates that you are disinterested. Research suggests that nonverbal signals such as leaning forward and facing straight ahead help convey feelings of interest. Slow Your Movements Fast movements make you appear more anxious. Everything from hand gestures to your walking pace can make a difference; slow down and notice how you feel more confident when you take your time. The key, however, is to maintain other signals like eye contact and posture while moving more slowly. Slow movements combined with poor eye contact and slouched (耷拉的) posture may cause people to see you less confident. Keep Your Chin Up Do you look at the ground when you are walking or talking? Instead, keeping your head up and facing your conversation partner conveys interest and confidence. It might feel unnatural initially, but you will eventually become used to this more confident pose. Give a Firm Handshake A weak handshake is a sign of a lack of confidence, so offer a firm hand when meeting others. How long your handshake lasts can also influence how people perceive you. Research has found that the length of a normal handshake is around three seconds or less. Handshakes lasting longer than three seconds are associated with less enjoyment of the interaction and more anxiety. 21. Which way of walking conveys confidence? A. Walk fast with head straight up. B. Move fast with a leaning posture. C. Walk slowly with proper eye contact. D. Move slowly with maintained distance. 22. Which body language requires considering the length of time? A. Lean Forward. B. Slow Your Movements. C. Keep Your Chin Up. D. Give a Firm Handshake. 23. Who is the text intended for? A. Those who have a passion for body language. B. Those who run projects about body language. C. Those who lack confidence in communication. D. Those who desire to boost their language skills. 【答案】21. C 22. D 23. C 【解析】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四种可以增强自信的手势和动作。 21. 细节理解题。根据小标题Slow Your Movements下的“The key, however, is to maintain other signals like eye contact and posture while moving more slowly. (然而，关键是保持其他信号，如眼神交流和姿势，同时移动得更慢)”可知，缓慢行走，眼神交流得当可以传达自信，故选C项。 22. 细节理解题。根据小标题Give a Firm Handshake下的“How long your handshake lasts can also influence how people perceive you. (你的握手持续多长时间也会影响人们对你的看法)”可知，握手需要考虑时间长短，故选D项。 23. 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“People who don’t feel confident in social situations often have trouble interacting with others. (在社交场合不自信的人往往难以与他人互动)”可知，文章是写给那些对沟通缺乏信心的人，故选C项。 B You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression — this was the theme of this year’s International Public Speaking Competition (IPSC), held in London from May 11 to 12. Thirty-three young speakers aged 16 to 20 from around the world gathered at The English Speaking Union to tell their stories, including Wu Dongxu, 19, a student from China. To him, the event wasn’t just about giving a speech on first impressions. It also made a strong impression on him. “Rather than a competition, the experience was more like an inspiring research trip to me, a trip that allowed me to see firsthand the differences and similarities between Chinese and foreign cultures,” said Wu. Apart from the obvious differences in food, transportation and climate, what impressed Wu most was the different styles of Chinese and foreign public speaking. Although still a teen, Wu is no stranger to the public speaking podium (讲台). He has participated in many speaking competitions since 2017. But on the stage of the IPSC, speakers had no podium to stand behind. They just had to face the audience. “This was the first time that I gave a speech without a podium, which made me realize how important eye contact and body language are,” said Wu. “It also gave me more freedom to convey more information with my body language instead of just with words.” Another difference that caught Wu’s attention was the evaluation criteria (评价标准). According to him, in every speaking competition he had participated in in China, things like pronunciation, fluency and quality of language are always important. But to his surprise, in the IPSC accents and grammatical mistakes are not considered in the evaluation process. It is the story itself that matters most. “Audiences are eager to hear powerful stories, no matter where they are from. That’s because the emotions expressed in them are shared by all human beings although there are the cultural differences.” said Wu. “Diversity, respect, tolerance and understanding — these are what the IPSC really wants to stress and spread.” 24. What is the topic of this year’s IPSC? A. Cultural difference. B. First impression. C. Body language. D. English education. 25. What left Wu Dongxu the deepest impression? A. The food culture. B. The transportation means. C. The climate. D. The public speaking style. 26. What can we learn about the IPSC? A. Speakers are allowed to use podiums. B. Body language plays an important part. C. Pronunciation and fluency matter a lot. D. Language quality is considered the most important. 27. What is Wu Dongxu’s attitude towards the IPSC? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Opposed. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. B 27. A 【解析】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要报道的是一名中国学生参加国际演讲比赛的相关经历。 24. 细节理解题。根据第一段“You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression — this was the theme of this year’s International Public Speaking Competition (IPSC), held in London from May 11 to 12.(你没有第二次机会给别人留下第一印象——这是今年5月11日至12日在伦敦举行的国际演讲比赛的主题。)”可知，今年国际演讲比赛的主题为“第一印象”。故选B。 25. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Apart from the obvious differences in food, transportation and climate, what impressed Wu most was the different styles of Chinese and foreign public speaking.(除了饮食、交通和气候的明显差异外，给吴印象最深的是中国和外国公开演讲的不同风格。)”可知，这次比赛令Wu Dongxu最为印象深刻的是中西公开演讲风格的差异。故选D。 26. 细节理解题。根据第五段“This was the first time that I gave a speech without a podium, which made me realize how important eye contact and body language are(这是我第一次在没有讲台的情况下发表演讲，这让我意识到眼神交流和肢体语言的重要性)”可知，在IPSC演讲比赛中没有讲台，肢体语言起着重要的作用。故选B。 27. 推理判断题。根据第一段“To him, the event wasn’t just about giving a speech on first impressions. It also made a strong impression on him.(对他来说，这次活动不仅仅是关于第一印象的演讲。这也给他留下了深刻的印象。)”可知，Wu Dongxu对此次比赛评价很高。故选A。 C Modern research on body language — often called nonverbal behavior — began in the 1960s and 1970s with studies that aimed to demonstrate the universality (普遍性) of facial expressions of emotion. That work was inspired, in part, by Charles Darwin’s study “The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1872).” But it had received little attention for around a century, according to nonverbal communication expert David Matsumoto. Then modern researchers examined how the brain reacts to facial expressions, and how babies copy facial and hand gestures. And scientists have also realized the complexity (复杂性) of body language. Much research has suggested that body language is often hard to interpret, or understand. But for years some advisers and experts have been using their knowledge in many practical (实际的) areas. “I help people influence and persuade others around how trustworthy and credible (可信的) their message is by helping them with their specific nonverbal communication,” said Mark Bowden. He is the author of “Winning Body Language”, a guide for readers including business people and famous people. He focuses on where a person faces their body and how much space they take up, as well as their gestures. Some experts also say they can use those signals to interpret hidden emotions. Joe Navarro is the author of “What Every Body Is Saying.” It is a book about reading a person’s mind from their nonverbal behavior. It’s easy to spot a speaker’s lip movements when he faces a question he doesn’t like, Joe said. While the work of these experts attracts large audiences, many scientists are unsure whether their methods are reliable. “Our facial expressions show certain types of emotional states,” Matsumoto said. So do some body movements. But “people do all kinds of things with their bodies,” he said. Your raised eyebrow (眉毛) could express doubt — but it might also signal discomfort or surprise. The same hand gesture could mean different things in different cultures, he said. 28. What role did Charles Darwin’s study play according to paragraph 1? A. It unlocked the secret of the human mind. B. It promoted the development of human language. C. It encouraged people to care more about animals. D. It helped start modern research on body language. 29. What can we infer about Mark Bowden? A. He gives advice on business language. B. He teaches people about body language. C. He focuses mainly on facial expressions. D. He pays more attention to spoken language. 30. What did David Matsumoto think of Joe Navarro’s methods? A. They were doubtful. B. They were instructional. C. They were necessary. D. They were experimental. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. Is nonverbal behavior that complex? B. Can body language tell important truths? C. Do experts know how to interpret emotions? D. Should you know more about body language? 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. A 31. B 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了关于肢体语言的现代研究——通常被称为非语言行为，它始于20世纪60年代和70年代，旨在证明面部表情表达情感的普遍性，但是同样的肢体动作又可能会表达不同的意思。 28. 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Modern research on body language — often called nonverbal behavior — began in the 1960s and 1970s with studies that aimed to demonstrate the universality (普遍性) of facial expressions of emotion. That work was inspired, in part, by Charles Darwin’s study “The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals (1872).” (关于肢体语言的现代研究——通常被称为非语言行为——始于20世纪60年代和70年代，旨在证明面部表情表达情感的普遍性。这项工作的部分灵感来自查尔斯·达尔文的研究《人类和动物的情感表达》(1872))”可知，查尔斯·达尔文的研究帮助开启了对肢体语言的现代研究。故选D。 29. 推理判断题。根据第四段““I help people influence and persuade others around how trustworthy and credible (可信的) their message is by helping them with their specific nonverbal communication.” said Mark Bowden. He is the author of “Winning Body Language”, a guide for readers including business people and famous people. He focuses on where a person faces their body and how much space they take up, as well as those gestures.(“我帮助人们通过特定的非语言交流来影响和说服别人，让他们相信他们的信息是值得信赖和可信的。”Mark Bowden说。他是《成功的肢体语言》一书的作者。为商界人士、名人等读者提供指南。他关注的是一个人将身体面向何处，他们的身体占据了多少空间，以及那些手势)”可推知，Mark Bowden教授人们如何使用肢体语言。故选B。 30. 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Some experts also say they can use those signals to interpret hidden emotions. Joe Navarro is the author of “What Every Body Is Saying.”  It is a book about reading a person’s mind from their nonverbal behavior.(一些专家还表示，他们可以利用这些信号来解读隐藏的情绪。乔·纳瓦罗是《人人都在说什么》一书的作者。这是一本关于从一个人的非语言行为中读出一个人的思想的书。)”可知，Joe Navarro认为我们可以从一个人的非语言行为中读出一个人的思想。结合最后一段中的“While the work of these experts attracts large audiences many scientists are unsure whether their methods are reliable. “Our facial expressions show certain types of emotional states.” David Matsumoto said. So do some body movements. But “people do all kinds of things with their bodies,” he said. Your raised eyebrow (眉毛) could express doubt — but it might also signal discomfort or surprise. (虽然这些专家的工作吸引了大量观众，但许多科学家不确定他们的方法是否可靠。“我们的面部表情显示了某些类型的情绪状态。”David Matsumoto说。一些身体动作也是如此。但是“人们用身体做各种各样的事情，”他说。你扬起的眉毛可能表示怀疑，但也可能表示不舒服或惊讶。)”可推知，David Matsumoto认为Joe Navarro的方法令人怀疑。故选A。 31. 主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Modern research on body language — often called nonverbal behavior — began in the 1960s and 1970s with studies that aimed to demonstrate the universality (普遍性) of facial expressions of emotion. (关于肢体语言的现代研究——通常被称为非语言行为——始于20世纪60年代和70年代，旨在证明面部表情表达情感的普遍性)”和最后一段中““But people do all kinds of things with their bodies.” he said. Your raised eyebrow (眉毛) could express doubt — but in might also signal discomfort or surprise. “The same hand gesture could mean different things in different cultures,” he said.(“但人们可以用身体做各种各样的事情。”他说。扬起眉毛可能表示怀疑，但也可能表示不舒服或惊讶。“同样的手势在不同的文化中可能有不同的含义，”他说)”可知，文章介绍了肢体语言的现代研究，面部表情表达情感存在普遍性，但是同样的肢体语言又可能会表达不同的意思。由此推知，本文探讨了我们是否能通过肢体语言了解一个人的真实情感，故“Can body language tell important truths?(肢体语言能揭示重要的真相吗？)”是文章最佳标题。故选B。 D Body language is an essential part of communication and can be just as important as our spoken language exchanges. Body language can be both conscious or unconscious actions, so it is important to make sure your body is sending the same messages as your words to ensure good communication. These actions can strengthen the verbal (口头的) messages you’re sending or it can lead to mistrust or confusion — signs of poor communication and misunderstanding. Body language can make interacting with others and expressing yourself much easier, but it can also introduce new challenges. Some nonverbal signs unintentionally communicate parts of ourselves that we don’t want others to know. For example, bad posture or fidgeting (坐立不安) may communicate lack of confidence, something we may not intend for others to know about us. But body language can strengthen our verbal messages and solidify what we are telling others. Facing someone with eye contact or taking notes while someone is speaking can communicate genuine interest. Without these signs, teachers may not be able to assess a student’s understanding. When you’re speaking sincerely, it’s natural for your body language to respond to your words through gestures or facial expressions. We also use gestures in conversations to tell stories or describe objects, often using hand signals to show how big or small something is. These are largely unconscious, naturally occurring forms of body language. It can be difficult to communicate confidence in your actions when you may not feel it internally. When you display confident body language, such as good posture or eye-contact, even if you’re making a conscious effort, studies have shown that it can lead to feeling more confident. When speaking to others, practice controlling impulses to fidget and planting your feet confidently to increase self-esteem. 32. What would your body language tell if it can’t go with your speech? A. A probable disbelief. B. True meaning behind words. C. An unclear condition. D. A dull speech. 33. Why does the author give some examples in paragraph 2? A. To show body language can help us all the time. B. To tell body language can show the true side of us. C. To explain how challenging it is to read body language. D. To tell teachers how to assess a student’s understanding. 34. What does the author intend to tell in the last two paragraphs? A. Hand signals are essential ways to make ourselves understood. B. Naturally occurring forms of body language makes us confident. C. Proper body language can help us a lot in gaining confidence. D. When speaking to others, try your best to hide your body language. 35. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Knowing Your Friends with Body Language B. Understanding Others by Body Language C. Being Smart in Showing Your Body Language D. Helping Communicate with Body Language 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. C 35. D 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。全文说明肢体语言在我们生活中的作用。 32. 细节理解题。从第一段“These actions can strengthen the verbal (口头的) messages you’re sending or it can lead to mistrust or confusion — signs of poor communication and misunderstanding.(这些行为可能会强化你发送的口头信息，也可能导致不信任或困惑——沟通不畅和误解的迹象。)”可知，如果肢体语言与我们语言不一致，就有可能传递不信任或者困惑的信息。故选A项。 33. 推理判断题。从第二段“Some nonverbal signs unintentionally communicate parts of ourselves that we don’t want others to know. (一些非语言符号无意中传达了我们自己不想让别人知道的部分。)”可以推断出，作者举例说明有些非语言性的符号能展现我们真实的一面。故选B项。 34. 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段“When you’re speaking sincerely, it’s natural for your body language to respond to your words through gestures or facial expressions. We also use gestures in conversations to tell stories or describe objects, often using hand signals to show how big or small something is. These are largely unconscious, naturally occurring forms of body language.(当你真诚地说话时，你的肢体语言会通过手势或面部表情来回应你的话，这是很自然的。我们在谈话中也会用手势来讲故事或描述物体，通常用手势来显示物体的大小。这些大多是无意识的、自然发生的肢体语言。)”以及下段“It can be difficult to communicate confidence in your actions when you may not feel it internally. When you display confident body language, such as good posture or eye-contact, even if you’re making a conscious effort, studies have shown that it can lead to feeling more confident. When speaking to others, practice controlling impulses to fidget and planting your feet confidently to increase self-esteem.(当你可能没有内在感觉时，很难对自己的行为表达信心。研究表明，当你表现出自信的肢体语言时，比如良好的姿势或眼神交流，即使你在有意识地努力，也会让你感到更加自信。在与他人交谈时，练习控制烦躁的冲动，自信地站稳脚跟，以增强自尊。)”可知，作者讲述的合适的肢体语言能让我们展现自信的一面可推断，合适的身体语言能在自信中帮助我们。故选C项。 35. 主旨大意题。由文章第一段“Body language is an essential part of communication and can be just as important as our spoken language exchanges. Body language can be both conscious or unconscious actions, so it is important to make sure your body is sending the same messages as your words to ensure good communication. These actions can strengthen the verbal (口头的) messages you’re sending or it can lead to mistrust or confusion — signs of poor communication and misunderstanding.(肢体语言是交际的重要组成部分，与口语交流同样重要。肢体语言可以是有意识的，也可以是无意识的，所以确保你的身体发出的信息与你的言语相同，以确保良好的沟通是很重要的。这些行为可能会强化你发送的口头信息，也可能导致不信任或困惑——沟通不畅和误解的迹象。)”以及下文可知，文章讲述了身体语言在帮助我们沟通上的作用。所以D项Helping Communicate with Body Language(用肢体语言帮助沟通)符合语境。故选D项。 第二节　(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Read Candidates’ Body Language in an Interview Body language matters, especially in interviews. 36 Our posture, gestures, movements or facial expressions can shape our reputations. Learning to read body language is about understanding candidates’ motives. Reading body language during interviews can provide valuable insights into a candidate’s personality. 37 Here are some common interview body language signals that you can learn to read. Observe extreme behaviour. A candidate’s harmless action doesn’t mean they won’t fitin well at your company. But be careful about extreme behaviours, like a person constantly checking their phone. 38 You can read people’s body language by observing changes in their movements or posture. Imagine, for example, that a candidate suddenly starts tapping their foot. Maybe they feel the interview is taking too long. Or perhaps they’re facing an uncomfortable question. Connect the dots. 39 For example, people may cross their arms when they’re cold. But, when you see a candidate crossing their arms, crossing their legs and balling their fists at the same time, prepare yourself for an aggressive (咄咄逼人的) answer. Candidate experience greatly depends on an interviewer’s body language. Positive body language can make candidates relax and open up. Negative body language can spark (引发) defensive and reserved reactions. 40 A. Spot the difference. B. Ask detailed questions. C. It’s not what you say, it’s how you say it. D. They don’t necessarily act the same way all the time. E. However, understanding body language isn’t an exact science. F. You can’t always tell what a specific gesture means on its own. G. Be aware of mistakes to preserve a positive candidate experience. 【答案】36. C 37. E 38. A 39. F 40. G 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。肢体语言很重要，尤其是在面试中。我们的姿势、手势、动作或面部表情会影响我们的声誉。本文从不同方面就如何在面试时读懂对方的肢体语言给我们一些指导。 36. 根据上文“Body language matters, especially in interviews.”（肢体语言很重要，尤其是在面试中。）可知，选项承接上文，继续说明肢体语言的重要性。故C选项“重要的不是你说什么，而是你怎么说”切题。how you say it呼应Body language matters。故选C项。 37. 根据上文“Reading body language during interviews can provide valuable insights into a candidate’s personality.”（通过阅读面试中的肢体语言，可以对求职者的性格有很有价值的了解。）以及下文“Here are some common interview body language signals that you can learn to read.”（以下是一些常见的面试肢体语言信号，你可以学习阅读。）可知，上文谈到在面试中读懂肢体语言可以对候选人的个性提供有价值的见解。也就是说在面试中读懂肢体语言的益处，然后接下来谈到“以下是一些你可以学会读懂的常见的面试肢体语言信号。”故可知E项“然而，理解肢体语言并不是一门精确的科学”切题，说明它是可以学会读懂的。故选E项。 38. 根据下文“You can read people’s body language by observing changes in their movements or posture.”（你可以通过观察人们动作或姿势的变化来解读他们的肢体语言）可知，本段主要在说要发现不同点。故A选项“发现不同点”切题，为本段的小标题。故选A项。 39. 根据下文“For example, people may cross their arms when they’re cold. But, when you see a candidate crossing their arms, crossing their legs and balling their fists at the same time, prepare yourself for an aggressive（咄咄逼人的） answer.”（例如，人们冷的时候可能会交叉双臂。但是，当你看到应聘者同时交叉双臂、跷二郎腿和握拳时，你就要准备好接受一个咄咄逼人的回答了。）可知，一个具体的动作可能表达不同的意思，所以你不能总是分辨出一个特定的手势本身的意思。故F选项“你不能总是分辨出一个特定的手势本身的意思”切题。承接下文。故选F项。 40. 根据上文“Positive body language can make candidates relax and open up. Negative body language can spark（引发）defensive and reserved reactions.”（积极的肢体语言可以让应试者放松并敞开心扉。消极的肢体语言会引发防御和矜持的反应。）可知，选项总结上文，说明怎么样做到成为合格的候选人。故G选项“要注意错误，以保持积极的候选人体验”切题。故选G项。 第三部分　语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 I visited my best friend Sean, whose mom, Cheryl could only communicate by her gesture I couldn’t understand. I felt 41 and fetched a notepad (记事本) to explain to her the reason for my visit. Then I went to see Sean several times. Each time I entered her house, my mind flooded with guilt and anxiety. I always needed someone to 42 to me, but her daughter-in-law, even her grandchildren, wouldn’t take the time to learn sign language. That night I saw that look of 43 on her face. The next time I saw Cheryl, I didn’t get the notepad or let my friend Sean help me, but decided to 44 , whatever it would take. I could see 45 appearing on her face as I spelled out each word with gesture. I knew how she felt knowing that someone 46 enough to learn to communicate with her. Within three weeks I had learned 47 American Sign Language (ASL). One night, everyone was signing, when suddenly I could follow the 48 , Cheryl slapped her hand, looked at me in the eyes, and 49 directly to me. She knew my heart and how much I loved her culture. About a month ago, Cheryl, Sean, my dad, and I took a trip to California State University, Northridge, where I would study. As we sat in the deaf student advisor’s office, no one 50 but I understood. He explained the 51 I would receive there would help me become a sign language interpreter and how he’d like me to start in an advanced ASL class. I left the university and felt so 52 . So many people don’t know about deaf people because of their 53 to communicate with them. Now I would be able to help. That night Cheryl and I sat in our hotel room; she 54 and signed with smiling eyes. Unlike the days in her living room with a notepad, I 55 and signed back, “I love you, too!” 41.

In Asia, people use lots of body language, facial expressions, and silence 56 (express) meaning. For instance, in Japan, it might be 57 (normal) viewed as rude to directly object to a statement. However, in the West, speaking directly is not only normal but valued. People place 58 (much) focus on the actual words being used than on cues (暗示) of body language. Additionally, in China, it is common for someone to smile when they don’t understand something. This could be 59 (confuse) for a Westerner who might think this means the listener understands and agrees with 60 is being said. Another communicative feature 61 is viewed differently across the world is interruptions (插嘴). In many 62 (part) of the West, interrupting another person when they are speaking is considered to be rude. However, in some African and Latin American countries, it is viewed as a means to join and actively participate in the conversation. Even within 63 same continent (洲), cultures can vary from country to country. For example, in the UK, it is very common to say “please” and “thank you” to someone 64 (serve) you in a shop or restaurant, but in Spain, these expressions 65 (hear) much less often and are reserved more for requesting or receiving kindness. 【答案】 56. to express 57. normally 58. more 59. confusing 60. what 61. that/which 62. parts 63. the 64. serving 65. are heard 【解析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是在交流中，不同的文化有着不同的沟通方式。 56. 考查动词不定式。句意：在非语言交流方面，亚洲人使用各种肢体语言、面部表情和沉默来表达意思。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定用法“use sth. to do sth.”，其中不定式作目的状语，所以此处使用动词不定式形式。故填to express。 57. 考查副词。句意：例如，在日本，直接反对一项声明通常会被视为粗鲁。分析句子结构可知，此处为副词作状语修饰动词，normal的副词为normally意为“通常”符合句意。故填normally。 58. 考查形容词比较级。句意：比起非语言暗示，人们更关注实际使用的词语。分析句子结构可知，此处为形容词作定语修饰名词focus，根据空后的than可知，此处为形容词比较级。故填more。 59. 考查形容词。句意：这可能会让西方人感到困惑，他们可能会认为这意味着听者理解并同意所说的话。分析句子结构可知，此处为形容词作表语，confuse的形容词confusing意为“令人困惑的”符合句意。故填confusing。 60. 考查宾语从句。句意：这可能会让西方人感到困惑，他们可能会认为这意味着听者理解并同意所说的话。分析句子结构可知，此处为连接词引导的宾语从句作agree with的宾语，从句中缺少主语，指的是事情，所以此处使用连接代词what。故填what。 61. 考查定语从句。句意：另一个在世界各地有不同看法的交际特征是插嘴。分析句子结构可知，此处为关系词引导的定语从句，从句中缺少主语，所以此处使用关系代词，先行词feature指的是事物，所以此处使用关系代词that或which。故填that或which。 62. 考查名词复数。句意：在西方许多地方，打断别人说话被认为是粗鲁的。分析句子结构可知，此处为名词作宾语，空前有many修饰，所以此处使用名词复数。故填parts。 63. 考查冠词。句意：即使在同一大洲，礼仪也会因文化而异。分析句子结构可知，此处为固定短语the same意为“同一，一样”符合句意。故填the。 64. 考查现在分词。句意：例如，在英国，在商店或餐馆里，对为你服务的人说“请”和“谢谢”是很常见的，但在西班牙，这些词在日常环境中听到的频率要低得多，更多的是用于请求或接受善意。分析句子结构可知，此处为非谓语动词作定语修饰someone，serve与someone之间为主动关系，所以此处使用现在分词形式。故填serving。 65. 考查谓语动词。句意：例如，在英国，在商店或餐馆里，对为你服务的人说“请”和“谢谢”是很常见的，但在西班牙，这些词在日常环境中听到的频率要低得多，更多的是用于请求或接受善意。分析句子结构可知，此处为谓语动词，根据并列谓语are reserved可知，此处使用一般现在时，且hear与主语these expressions之间为被动关系，且主语为名词复数。故填are heard。 第四部分　写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 66. 假如你是李华，你的英国朋友罗伯特准备来中国学习，因此想了解一些中国人的日常肢体语言。请你用英语给他写封邮件，向他介绍一些日常的肢体语言，内容包括： 1. 开心分享； 2. 介绍几种大家熟悉的中国肢体语言； 注意：1. 词数80左右； 2.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总次数； 3.可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【参考范文】 Dear Robert, I am very glad to share with you something about body language in China.

All the camp leaders and volunteers were preparing for the grand wrap-up event that evening. Some were setting up chairs and tables outside; some were preparing water balloons for games we would play later; and some were cutting fruits and veggies for snacks. One of the leaders, George, came to me, handed me a small broom and a dustpan, and asked me to sweep the gym. Alone. While the others were chatting and laughing outside. While the gym was dusty and stuffy (不通风的) after weeks of camp and crafts. I didn’t have a choice. I was sixteen, and George was my elder. I was a staff member at camp, and George was my employer. I put on as cheerful a face as I could and began to sweep the floor of the gymnasium. Every time I made a decent (合宜的) pile of dust and scraps (残羹剩饭) to push into the dustpan, I had a nice little part of the gym cleared. But I would look up and see the rest of the gym and realize how big the job was. The whole situation felt so unfair. I wasn’t really happy then. I’m not proud of it, but I was angry as well. I could hear the sounds of people talking, laughing, and generally having a great time outside. There was silence in the gym, except for my sweep, sweep, sweep. During a break between sweeps, I looked up. George was quietly and matter-of-factly moving the speakers and cleaning the stage at the front of the gym. I noticed he worked alone as well. He didn’t seem particularly excited about what he was doing, but I noted the calmness and joy in his eyes as he went about his work, doing what had to be done because he was there and he was able to do it. 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。 I watched him silently for the next ten minutes. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Thanks, Laura.” he said and nodded as if acknowledging the small sacrifice I had made. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【参考范文】 I watched him silently for the next ten minutes. My broom and I were making slow but sure progress across the gym. Slowly, my unhappiness and anger left my heart, and in its place grew an appreciation for what I saw in George. Being a leader doesn’t mean getting to do all the fun things. It means sacrifice and hard work. I cleaned the whole gym with a small broom, one sweep at a time. As I finished and passed him, he looked up and smiled at me and I smiled back. I was tired; it was a tired smile; but it was a real smile. “Thanks, Laura.” he said and nodded as if acknowledging the small sacrifice I had made. I forgot what I said in return. Probably “You’re welcome.” But what I should have said and what I want to say to him now is this: “Thank you for teaching me and showing me what being a good leader looks like. Thank you for the opportunity to sweep the floor of the gym, because now whenever I feel discouraged, I remember that half hour, and am reminded that doing the hard, right thing matters, no matter how I feel about it.” 【写作分析】这是一篇第一人称的记叙文，故事发生在夏令营活动即将结束时，作为志愿者之一的作者也参与到准备闭营仪式的队伍中。而名为George的上级分配给她的任务却是独自打扫体育馆，繁重的工作量让作者不由心生不满，当她抬头看时却发现George也在默默地做着清扫工作。 【解析】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“接下来的10分钟我静静地看着他。”及下一段首句点出的sacrifice一词可知，第一段可描写作者受到George的鼓舞，坚持完成了自己的工作。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘谢谢你，Laura。’他说道，并点了点头，好像承认了我刚刚做出的小小牺牲。”可知，第二段可描写作者从George身上以及整个事件中得到的感悟。 2.续写线索：注视George——受到鼓舞——坚持完成任务——受到George感谢——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①注视：watch/observe/look at ②认可：acknowledge/approve/admit 情绪类 ①.感谢：showing his appreciation/show his gratitude/be grateful ②.气馁：discouraged/lose heart/down-hearted [高分句型1]. But what I should have said and what I want to say to him now is this: “Thank you for teaching me and showing me what being a good leader looks like.（运用了what引导的主语从句和宾语从句） [高分句型2]. Thank you for the opportunity to sweep the floor of the gym, because now whenever I feel discouraged, I remember that half hour, and am reminded that doing the hard, right thing matters, no matter how I feel about it.”（运用了because引导的原因状语从句、whenever引导的时间状语从句和no matter how引导的让步状语从句） ( 3 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
