You sigh when you are unhappy. Your parents give a thumbs-up for good grades. Soccer players high-five after a victory. These are examples of body language. It uses the movement or position of your body. The way that you stand, your hand gestures, the look on your face—these are all ways to communicate without words. In fact, body language plays an important role in our daily life.
According to US scientist Edward T.Hall, in a conversation of 50 people, 65percent of people would use body language. Another 23 experiments were done by other scientists, and they found that in some cases, people can express themselves without any words at all. For example, if your friend asks you to come on a picnic, you could give him an “OK” gesture without saying anything.
Sometimes, your words say one thing but your body language says another. You may touch your face without noticing when you tell a lie. However, just like spoken language, body language doesn’t have the same meaning around the world. It can have a totally different meaning in different cultures. While in some Asian countries, it is rude to look straight at a person when you talk. But in the US and Europe, eye contact means you are interested in what someone is saying.
Another example is greetings. In some Asian cultures, it’s common to bow one’s head or body. However, in European countries, people may kiss on the face. Maoris (毛利人), the local people in New Zealand, touch noses as a greeting.
It is necessary to learn body language in different cultures so next time before you travel, you’d better learn some body languages.
16. How does the writer start the passage?
A. By telling a story. B. By asking questions.
C. By giving examples. D. By listing numbers.
17. How many people communicate without body language according to Edward T Hall?
A. 23%. B. 35%. C. 50%. D. 65%.

A. Body language. B. Spoken language. C. Eye Contact. D. Hand gesture.

B. Maoris kiss on the face when they meet other people.

【导语】本文主要介绍了68岁的秦立刚常年表演皮影戏,技艺精湛,作品在多国上演,培养众多学生,其孙子也在学习,还介绍了皮影制作表演及他成为国家级传承人的事。
【36题详解】
句意:作为一名出色的艺术家,秦能制作皮影并表演皮影戏。“excellent”读音以元音音素开头,表示“一个”要用不定冠词an,故填an。
【37题详解】
句意:自1978年以来,他一直作为一名皮影戏艺术家进行练习。 由“since 1978”可知,句子时态为现在完成时,其结构为“have/has+过去分词”,主语“He”是第三人称单数,所以用has,practise的过去分词是practised,故填has practised。
【38题详解】
句意:他工作非常努力,从不感到厌烦。 felt是系动词feel的过去式,后接形容词作表语,这里形容人“感到厌烦的”,要用bored,故填bored。
【39题详解】
句意:秦立刚的皮影戏已经在许多国家上演,如法国、马耳他、韩国和塞浦路斯。 many后接可数名词复数,country的复数形式是countries,故填countries。
【40题详解】
句意:在过去的30年里,秦已经培训了77名学生,以便传承这项传统技艺。 in order to do sth是固定搭配,意为“为了做某事”,故填to pass。
【41题详解】

【42题详解】
句意:在2005年的一次国际皮影戏节上,这个4岁的孙子成功地表演了一场皮影戏。 这里修饰动词短语“put on a shadow play”,要用success“成功”的副词形式,故填successfully。
【43题详解】
句意:当艺术家们制作皮影时,他们通常需要选择兽皮、制作兽皮、绘制草图、雕刻、上色、熨烫和装饰。 分析句子结构可知,此处需要一个连词引导时间状语从句,表示“当……时候”,when符合语境,位于句首需大写,故填When。
【44题详解】
句意:皮影准备好后,会搭起一块白色幕布,由站在幕布后面的艺术家们举着皮影,同时演唱或讲故事。 puppets和hold之间是被动关系 ,即皮影被举着 ,且句子时态是一般现在时 ,一般现在时的被动语态结构为“am/is/are + 过去分词”,puppets是复数 ,所以用are,hold的过去分词是held,故填are held。
【45题详解】
句意:他说他为自己感到非常自豪。be proud of oneself是固定短语,意为“为自己感到自豪”,这里主语是he,其反身代词是himself,故填himself。
