Ⅲ.品质升华
1.Which is more effective in communication,body language or words? (Critical Thinking批判性思维)
Both body language and words are important in communication,and their effectiveness can vary depending on the context and situation.Words are essential for specific information,thoughts,and ideas.Body language,on the other hand,can often convey emotions,attitudes,and intentions more effectively than words.In some cases,body language can even contradict the words spoken.For example,if someone says they are fine but their body language indicates discomfort or sadness,the body language is likely to be more truthful.
Overall,a combination of both words and body language is usually the most effective way to communicate.
2.What advice on body language will you give a foreign friend on his/her first trip to China?(Creative Thinking创造性思维)
(1)Be mindful of gestures like pointing with your finger,as this can come across as rude.Point with your whole hand instead.
(2)Bow slightly when greeting or thanking someone as a respectful greeting instead of shaking hands.
(3)Be mindful of cultural customs around eating and don't stick your chopsticks vertically in your rice or cross them over your bowl.

LISTENING TO HOW BODIES TALK
We use both words and body language to express our thoughts① and opinions in our interactions② with other people.We can learn a lot about[1]what people are thinking by watching their body language.Words are important,but the way people stand,hold their arms,and move their hands can also give us information about their feelings.
[1]what引导宾语从句;by watching...表示“方式方法”,意为“通过观察……”。
Just like spoken language,body language varies③ from culture to culture.The crucial④ thing is [2]using body language in a way that is appropriate⑤ to the culture you are in.For example,[3] making eye contact—looking into someone's eyes —in some countries is a way to display interest.In other countries,by contrast⑥,eye contact is not always approved⑦ of.For example,in many Middle Eastern countries,men and women are not socially⑧ permitted to make eye contact.In Japan,it may demonstrate⑨ respect to look down [4]when talking to an older person.
[2]画线部分是动词-ing形式短语“using body language...”作表语,注意此处不表示正在进行的动作,using可用to use替换。
[3]动词-ing形式短语“making eye contact...”作主语,破折号后的动词-ing形式短语looking into someone's eyes解释主语。
[4]画线部分是“when+分词(短语)”结构,相当于状语从句的省略形式,补充完整应为“when they are talking to an older person”。
The gesture⑩ for “OK” has different meanings in different cultures.In Japan,someone who witnesses⑪ another person employing⑫ the gesture might think it means money.In France,a person [5]encountering⑬ an identical⑭ gesture may interpret⑮ it as[6]meaning zero.However,you should avoid making this gesture in Brazil and Germany,as it is not considered polite.
[5]画线部分是动词-ing形式短语作定语,修饰名词a person,主动关系,作用等同于定语从句。
[6]画线部分是动词-ing形式短语作介词as的宾语。
Even the gestures [7]we use for “yes” and “no” differ⑯ around the world.In many countries,[8]shaking one's head means “no”,and nodding means “yes”.By comparison⑰,in Bulgaria and southern Albania,the gestures have the opposite
学生用书第96页
meaning.There are also differences in how we touch each other,how close we stand to someone we are talking to,and how we act when we meet or part.In countries like France and Russia,people may kiss their friends on the cheek⑱ when they meet.Elsewhere,people favour⑲ [9]shaking hands,bowing⑳ from the waist㉑,or nodding the head when they meet someone else.
[7]we use是定语从句,修饰先行词the gestures,省略关系词that/which。
[8]动词-ing形式短语“shaking one's head”作主语,nodding相当于nodding one's head,也作主语。
[9]三个并列的动词-ing形式短语“shaking hands”,“bowing from the waist”和“nodding the head”作favour的宾语,后两者之间有连接词or;when引导时间状语从句。
Some gestures seem to have the same meaning everywhere.[10]Placing your hands together and resting㉒ them on the side of your head while closing your eyes means “sleep”.A good way of saying “I am full” is moving your hand in circles over your stomach after a meal.
[10]两个并列的动词-ing形式短语“Placing...and resting...”作主语,表示一件事,谓语动词用单数形式;“while closing your eyes”作状语。
Some body language has many different uses.Perhaps the best example is smiling.A smile can help us get through㉓ difficult situations and find friends in a world of strangers.A smile can break down㉔ barriers㉕.We can use a smile [11]to apologise,to greet someone,to ask for help㉖,or to start a conversation.Experts suggest smiling at yourself in the mirror to make yourself feel happier and stronger.And if we are feeling down㉗ or lonely,[12]there is nothing better than seeing the smiling face of a good friend.
[11]画线部分是四个并列的动词不定式作目的状语,多个并列结构一般在最后两者之间用连接词。
[12]there is nothing better than...“没有什么比……再好了”。否定词nothing搭配比较结构better than表示than后面跟的事物是最好的。

听听肢体是怎么说话的
在与他人的交往中,我们用话语和肢体语言来表达自己的思想和观点。通过观察人们的肢体语言,我们可以洞察他们的想法。话语十分重要,但是人们站立、双手抱臂和移动双手的姿势,也能为我们提供有关他们情感的信息。
不同的文化有着不同的肢体语言,这与口头语言相似。最关键的是使用肢体语言的方式要与你所处的文化相适应。例如,在一些国家,眼神交流(即直视某人的眼睛)是表示兴趣的一种方式。相反,在另一些国家,眼神交流并不总是被认可。例如,在许多中东国家,社交上不允许男性和女性进行眼神交流。在日本,与年长者交谈时,目光下垂表示敬重。
学生用书第97页
“OK”这个手势在不同的文化中有着不同的含义。在日本,一个人看到另外一个人使用这一手势,可能会认为这表示金钱。在法国,看到同一个手势的人可能会将其解读为“零”。然而,在巴西和德国,你应该避免作出这一手势,因为这是一个被视为不礼貌的手势。
即便是用于表示肯定和否定的身势语,在世界各地也不尽相同。在许多国家,摇头表示否定,点头表示肯定。相比之下,在保加利亚和阿尔巴尼亚南部地区,这两个身势语的含义截然相反。在身体接触方式、站着交谈时双方的距离、见面和告别的动作方面,也有很多差异。在法国、俄罗斯等国,朋友见面时会相互亲吻脸颊。在其他地区,与别人见面时,人们更喜欢握手、鞠躬或点头。
有些手势似乎在任何地方含义都相同。双手合十放在头部的一侧,同时闭上你的眼睛,意为“睡觉”。表示“我吃饱了”的一个好方式,就是在饭后用手在肚子上画圈。
某些肢体语言有着许多不同的用处。也许最佳的例子就是微笑了。微笑可以帮助我们摆脱困境,在陌生的世界里找到朋友。微笑可以打破隔阂。我们可以用微笑来道歉、问候他人、寻求帮助或主动攀谈。专家建议,我们应该对着镜子微笑,让自己感到更加快乐和坚强。当我们感到沮丧或孤单时,最美好的事情莫过于看到好友的笑脸。

The mysterious science of reading gestures is explained using practical explanations and clear images.Gestures are products of both genetic (遗传的)and environmental influence.Understanding our gestures is not as difficult as some people would have you believe.All human beings use them and so actually have a “built-in” ability to recognize and read it.
Fingers crossed
Generally this means “wishing for good luck or fortune”.Another explanation could be seen as “Here's hoping”.The gesture probably has Christian origins where the gesture was believed to get away from evil.As such,people believe that crossing the fingers when telling a lie somehow gets away from the evil of the lie.Some historians believe that crossing your fingers is a hidden or secret way of making the Christian sign of cross—a piece way of defeating evils.As a gesture,it has both good and bad meanings.Luck or lies.
Waving the first finger
Mothers and teachers are common users with this hand gesture.In general,it is used to warn a single person.It is a change of the “you” gesture.If translated into language,it would say “Stop whatever you are doing and pay attention to me.I am your superior and I am warning you!” Classified as a “silent” parent to child gesture,it is completely unacceptable in a professional environment where it will be interpreted (诠释)as both rude and domineering (盛气凌人的).Some psychologists believe that it has a meaning of the whip.

Suppose you are outshopping and come across a friend who starts telling you a story that seems to be dragging on and on.You want to seem interested,so you offer the occasional “Oh” or “I see”.To your surprise,though,this person angrily stops in his tracks and says,“Sorry if I'm boring you!”
Where did this come from? Clearly,your body language must have betrayed(出卖)you.The idea that verbal and nonverbal messages can conflict was the inspiration for a recently published study from Yale University's Lucylle Armentano.As part of her study of communication in relationships,Armentano's research also examined communication ways in people meeting for the first time.
To test the role of a mismatch between verbal messages and nonverbal messages on emotional communication,Armentano and her partner created experimental conditions to see what happens when someone asks for help from strangers.The research team created videotapes of a Yale student expressing nervousness in his words,with gestures,or both.The gestures included running his hands through his hair,grabbing his arms,and facially expressing uneasiness.The key question was whether the other participants,another 82 Yale students,would believe the student and provide the help he was requesting.They needed to give their responses.
Turning to the findings,those nonverbal cues for nervousness had a greater impact on helping behavior than the verbal cues.Surprisingly,helping behavior was the highest when verbal expressions of nervousness were low but nonverbal cues were high.
Recognizing that your body language can outweigh your words means that you need to be mindful of what your body is doing when you're interacting with others.Generally,when someone is speaking to you,you want to look like you're interested.Not only should you maintain eye contact,but you should keep your body still and face toward that person.If you're not trying to look interested,it may be more polite to say you have to be somewhere else.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了耶鲁大学的 Lucylle Armentano最近发表了一份研究报告,研究表明与人互动时,你的肢体语言可以胜过你的口头语言。
4.What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?
A.The obvious advantages of body language.
B.A situation where body language is a must.
C.The proper way to interact with old friends.
D.An example of a mismatch between verbal and nonverbal expressions.
答案:D
解析:段落大意题。根据文章第一段最后两句可知,文章第一段举了一个言语和行为不一致的例子,即语言和非语言表达不匹配的例子。
5.What were the 82 Yale students asked to do?
A.Respond to the student's request.
B.Identify the types of body language.
C.Express nervousness in their words.
D.Try to win the nervous student's trust.

解析:细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“The key question was whether...They needed to give their responses.”可知,这 82名耶鲁学生需要对那名紧张的学生的要求作出回应。
6.What played a more important role in helping the student win kindness?
A.His gestures of nervousness.
B.His sincere verbal expressions.
C.His positive attitude to nervousness.
D.His good manners in front of others.
答案:A
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第四段最后一句可知,非语言暗示,即表达紧张的肢体动作是赢得善意更重要的因素。
7.What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph?
A.Make a prediction. B.Offer some advice.
C.Present some facts. D.Give some warnings.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。通读文章最后一段,尤其是根据该段中的第一句可推知,本段作者主要给出了一些建议。

(2024·浙江省七彩阳光联盟高二上期中)
Ever attacked a problem? Picked up a new skill? Encountered a difficult concept? Language learning is full of references to parts of the body outside the brain.Perhaps that's because some phrases suggest something deeper.Researchers are detecting that learning is easier,quicker and more long-lasting if it involves the body.
“In the past,people argued that as we grow,we become more able to think abstractly (抽象地),” says Andrew Manches,a psychologist at the University of Edinburgh in the UK.Conventional (传统的)thinking might suggest that teachers should help prevent children from using body gestures to prepare them for the adult world.But in truth,the physical world never really separates from our thinking.For example,when we process verbs such as “lick”,“kick” and “pick”,medical scanners show that the parts of our brain that control the muscles in our face,legs and hands,respectively,light up with activity.
Science is beginning to back up the idea that actions really might speak louder than words in the classroom.Spencer Kelly,a psychologist at Colgate University in New York,has found that people spend three times as much time gesturing when they think the message they get across is remarkably important,which suggests that even if only at the subconscious level,we appreciate the communicative value of our body language.Kelly has also found evidence that a teacher is more appealing to students when he or she uses arm and hand movements to stress points.
Moreover,some studies indicate that young children obtain more if their teacher uses gestures when explaining a concept.Meanwhile,Susan Wagner Cook,a psychologist at the University of Iowa in Iowa City,has found that children pick up new concepts more effectively if they are taught to mirror and repeat gestures their teacher uses.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了研究人员发现,恰当地使用肢体语言能使学习更容易、更快和更持久。
8.How did people in the past understand learning?
A.The older a student grows,the less likely he will think abstractly.
B.Teachers were advised to encourage students to use body gestures.
C.Body gestures should be removed to promote adult-like thinking.
D.The physical world will separate from our thinking as we grow.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“In the past,people argued that as we grow,we become more able to think abstractly(抽象地)”以及“Conventional (传统的)thinking might suggest that teachers should help prevent children from using body gestures to prepare them for the adult world”可知,过去的人们认为学习时应该摒弃肢体语言,以促进成年人思维的形成。故选C。
9.How did the author make us believe the truth of the discovery?
A.By analyzing the theory.
B.By explaining some rules.
C.By making some predictions.
D.By presenting different studies.
答案:D
解析:推理判断题。文章第二段至第四段提到了一些研究发现的结果,尤其是根据第四段中的“Moreover,some studies indicate that young children obtain more if their teacher uses gestures when explaining a concept.”可知,作者是通过呈现不同的研究来让我们相信发现的真实性的,故选D。
10.What can we learn from Spencer Kelly's study?
A.People use gestures every time they convey the messages.
B.Body movements can increase a teacher's popularity.
C.Young students like to mirror their teacher's gestures.
D.Body language is more powerful than spoken language.
答案:B
解析:细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Kelly has also found evidence that a teacher is more appealing to students when he or she uses arm and hand movements to stress points”可知,证据表明,当老师用手臂和手的动作来强调重点时,他或她对学生更有吸引力。所以我们可以从 Spencer Kelly 的研究中得知肢体动作可以增加教师的受欢迎程度,故选B。
11.Which is the best title of the text?
A.Language Learning:A Vital Approach
B.Body Gestures:A Sharp Tool for Fast Learning
C.Body Language:A Universal Language Signal
D.Thinking Abstractly:A Symbol of the Adult World
答案:B
解析:标题归纳题。由文章第一段中的“Researchers are detecting that learning is easier,quicker and more long-lasting if it involves the body.”并结合下文内容可知,本文主要介绍了研究人员发现恰当地使用肢体语言能使学习更容易、更快和更持久。因此 B 项适合作本文的标题,故选B。

(2024·福建龙岩九校高二期中联考)
Modern research on body language—often called nonverbal behaviour—began in the 1960s and 1970s with studies that aimed to demonstrate the university(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 about a century, according to nonverbal communication expert David Matsumoto.
Since then modern researchers have examined how the brain reacts to facial expressions and how babies imitate facial and hand gestures.And scientists have also realised the complexities(复杂之处) 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 areas.
“I help people influence and persuade others around how trustworthy and credible 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 behaviour.“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,” David Matsumoto said.So do some body movements.“ But people do all kinds of things with their bodies,” he said.Your raised eyebrows(眉毛) could express disbelief—but it might also signal discomfort or surprise.The same hand gesture could mean different things in different cultures.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了关于肢体语言的现代研究。肢体语言通常被称为非言语行为,它的研究始于20世纪60年代和70年代,这些研究旨在证明面部表情普遍能够表达情感,但是同样的肢体语言又可能会表达不同的意思。
12.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 helped start modern research on body language.
D.It encouraged people to care more about animals.
答案:C
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Modern research on body language...in Man and Animals”(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C项。
13.What do we know about Mark Bowden?
A.He gives advice on business language.
B.He focuses mainly on facial expressions.
C.He pays more attention to spoken language.
D.He teaches people about body language.
答案:D
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段第一句可知,马克·鲍登教人们如何使用肢体语言。故选D项。
14.What did David Matsumoto think of Joe Navarro's methods?

B.They were doubtful.
C.They were experimental.
D.They were necessary.
答案:B
解析:推理判断题。倒数第二段介绍了乔·纳瓦罗通过肢体动作了解一个人的思想的方法,再根据最后一段中的“While the work of these experts attracts large audiences...So do some body movements.”可推知,戴维·松本认为乔·纳瓦罗的方法令人怀疑。故选B项。
15.What can be the best title for the text?
A.Can body language tell important facts?
B.Is nonverbal behaviour that complex?
C.Should you know more about body language?
D.Do experts know how to interpret emotions?
答案:A
解析:标题归纳题。根据第一段中的“Modern research on body language...demonstrate the universality of facial expressions of emotion.”及最后一段中的“‘But people do all kinds of things with their bodies,’he said...The same hand gesture could mean different things in different cultures.”可知,文章介绍了肢体语言的现代研究,面部表情普遍能够表达情感,但是同样的肢体语言又可能会表达不同的意思。由此可知 A 项适合作为本文最佳标题。

(2024·孝感市重点高中教科研协作体高二期中)
Body language is different depending on what sort of animal you have chosen as your pet. 1 Understanding your pet's body language will help you to be a better communicator,as you can even copy some of its movements,expressions and sounds to send your message in a way it understands.
·When dogs feel stressed out or threatened,their eyes will look larger than normal.If your dog isn't looking directly at you,but is looking out of the corners of its eyes so that you see a lot of the whites of the eyes,it might be about to have an aggressive outburst. 2
·If your cat looks at you and blinks at you slowly,it's likely communicating affection. 3 For cats,closing one's eyes in the presence of another is a way to show trust.If your cat feels threatened,its tail will likely be upright;its back will likely be arched,too.
· 4 If your bird's pupils(瞳孔)enlarge and shrink rapidly,this can be a sign that it's excited or greatly interested,or scared or angry. 5 Birds will shake their feathers while cleaning themselves;if their feathers remain shaking,however,this could mean they're unwell,in which case,take them to an animal doctor for a checkup.
A.Pets' health depends on your daily care.
B.You can do this back to your cat to show your love,too.
C.The context is important in telling which emotion it might be.
D.Birds can be quite expressive through their eyes and feathers.
E.If your dog is feeling stressed or aggressive,its wide eyes will be accompanied by a rigid body.
F.Once familiar with each other's presence and body language,cats and dogs can play together.
G.If you're unsure of your pet's body language,consider reading some articles about your specific animal.
语篇解读 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些宠物的肢体语言,进而解读宠物的动机和情绪。
1.答案:G
解析:上文提到肢体语言的不同取决于你选择哪种动物作为你的宠物,再结合下文中讲到的各种动物不同的肢体语言可知,G项“如果你不确定你的宠物的肢体语言,考虑阅读一些关于你的特定动物的文章”承接上文,故选G项。
2.答案:E
解析:通读本段内容可知,本段主要从狗的眼睛来介绍它的肢体语言,故E项“如果你的狗感到有压力或有攻击性,它的大眼睛会伴随着僵硬的身体”符合段落主旨,故选E项。
3.答案:B
解析:根据上文中的“If your cat looks at you and blinks at you slowly,it's likely communicating affection.”可知,此处是关于猫和人类表达亲密关系时的眼神沟通。B项“你也可以对你的猫这样做,来表达你的爱”与上文意思衔接。B项中的 your love 与上文中的 affection 相呼应且B项中的 too也是解题的关键,故选B项。
4.答案:D
解析:根据空处所在位置并结合本段内容可知,空处为本段的主旨句。根据下文中的“If your bird's pupils(瞳孔)enlarge and shrink rapidly”和“Birds will shake their feathers”可以推知,本段主要讲鸟儿如何用肢体语言表达情感。D项与下文意思相承接,故选D项。
5.答案:C
解析:根据空后内容可知,鸟儿清理自己时会抖动羽毛;然而,如果它们的羽毛一直在抖动,这可能意味着它们不舒服,在这种情况下,带它们去看动物医生检查一下。由此可推知,鸟儿在不同情况下抖动羽毛所表达的情绪不同。C项能概括下文内容,故选C项。
