A
(2024·温州高二检测)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.
1.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.
2.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.
3.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.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了可以增强自信的四种手势和动作。
1.C [解析]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.”可知,缓慢行走,眼神交流得当可以传达自信。故选C。
2.D [解析]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.”可知,你的握手持续时间也会影响人们对你的看法。因此,握手需要考虑时间长短。故选D。

B
Many of you know that when we are under stress,our brain requires a certain amount of handtobody touching.However,when circumstances are not only stressful but threaten us,the brain causes certain neck behaviors,which are protective,relieving and totally unique.
I first observed the significance of neck behaviors early in my life when my grandmother was almost hit by a car in Miami Beach.At that instant,she immediately covered her neck with her hand.I was surprised that her hand went to her neck and not toward the car.
At university,I saw this same behavior in anatomy(解剖学) classes as we examined animals.Both men and women would cover their necks as they looked down at the smelly animals for the first time.But I also noticed that men and women did it differently.Men tended to grab(抓住) their necks more robustly(用力地),or even massage(按揉) their necks.Women tended to respond conversely.They would do it more delicately(优雅地),using their fingers to cover a very specific area.
Aware that when people are troubled,scared,concerned,worried,or nervous,they cover or touch their necks,I never appreciated the potential use of this very telling behavior until I joined the FBI.
In 1979,while working in Yuma,Arizona,my partner and I went to talk to the mother of a dangerous person.When we knocked on her door,she seemed tense but allowed us in.I asked her many questions about her son and she answered all of them without hesitation.
However,when I inquired,“Is your son in the house?” during that interview,she put her hand to her neck and said,“No,he's not.” Her body was speaking to me more honestly than her words.The words “son” and “house” together were a threat to her and she touched her neck in the same way my grandmother had done 14 years earlier.That early lesson taught me to pay attention to the neck because few people do.
4.What did the author's grandmother do when a car was running toward her?
A.She placed her hand on her neck.
B.She showed her hand to the driver.
C.She cried out loud.
D.She was glued to the spot frightened.
5.What does the underlined word “conversely” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Directly. B.Properly.
C.Emotionally. D.Oppositely.
6.What can we infer about the mother of the dangerous person?
A.Her words showed hesitation.
B.Her neck behavior gave her away.
C.She was completely honest with the author.
D.She was perfectly calm under great threat.
7.What is the purpose of the text?
A.To show body language secrets of the neck.
B.To describe how officers use body language to detect lying.
C.To introduce different types of body language.
D.To explain why men and women react differently to stress.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者早年注意到人在感到有威胁的情况下会把手放在自己的脖子上,并且在FBI的工作中运用这一行为信号来帮助自己判断。
4.A [解析]细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I first observed the significance of neck behaviors ...she immediately covered her neck with her hand.”可知,当汽车朝作者祖母撞去的时候,祖母立刻用手捂住了脖子。故选A。
5.D [解析]词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“But I also noticed that men and women did it differently.”可知,男性和女性把手放在脖子上的方式不同。再根据第三段中的“Men tended to grab their necks more robustly,or even massage their necks.”和“They would do it more delicately,using their fingers to cover a very specific area.”可知,男性用力抓脖子和女性优雅地抓脖子是两种相反的行为。由此推测,conversely意为“相反地”,与oppositely意思最接近。故选D。
6.B [解析]推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However,when I inquired ...Her body was speaking to me more honestly than her words.”可知,当作者询问她的儿子是否在家时,这位女士一边说不在家一边把手放在脖子上,作者通过她的肢体动作明白了真正的答案,她摸脖子的行为出卖了她。故选B。
7.A [解析]推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“However,when circumstances are not only stressful but threaten us,the brain causes certain neck behaviors,which are protective,relieving and totally unique.”可知,作者在首段提到在面临有压力和威胁的情况时,人会做出一些摸脖子的动作,接着作者通过祖母差点遭遇车祸时的行为、解剖课上男生和女生的表现、与危险人物的母亲谈话时她的反应这三件事具体阐述了颈部行为揭示的秘密。由此推断,作者想要说明颈部肢体语言的秘密。故选A。
C
(2025·衡水高二检测)“Tie an Italian's hands behind his back,and he'll be speechless.” This old joke conveys a rigid image of Italians:they are talkative and emotional,and all their arm movements supposedly go to prove it.
Susan GoldinMeadow of the University of Chicago has a rather different view.Emotions come out in lots of ways:facial expressions,posture,tone of voice and so on.But people are doing something different when they use gestures with speech,which she sums up in the title of her new book Thinking With Your Hands.
In fact,everyone gestures,not just Italians.Conference interpreters gesture in their little rooms,though no one is looking.People born blind gesture when they speak,including to each other.All this suggests that cognition(认知) is,to some extent,“embodied(具体化)”,thinking is not all done in your head.Gestures that accompany speech are a second channel of information.People who say they believe in gender equality(男女平等) but gesture with their hands lower when talking about women are not indicating women's shorter height; they can be shown to have prejudices(偏见) of which they may not be aware.
Child development is the focus of GoldinMeadow's book.Some students who fail at a difficult mathematics problem may gesture in a way that indicates they are on the point of understanding it.They should be taught differently from the ones whose gestures suggest that they are entirely at_sea.GoldinMeadow believes that gesturing could play a larger role in education by addressing the student's needs better.
This is well explained in the book's last section.Teachers are encouraged both to use gestures themselves and to observe those their students make.Parents are taught to fill in the word a child is most likely to be missing when they gesture rather than adding information.Children with language delays caused by brain injuries at birth,but who gesture as much as their peers(同龄人),are likely to catch up verbally by the age of about 30 months.Those who gesture less are more likely to need early intervention.
8.Why is the joke mentioned in the first paragraph?
A.To show that Italians are talkative and emotional.
B.To set a humorous tone for this article.
C.To illustrate the relationship between gestures and speech.
D.To correct people's wrong impression of Italians.
9.What does the author want to say by mentioning people talking about gender equality?
A.People's gestures show the meaning of people's speech.
B.Gestures help the speaker tell lies more easily.
C.People use gestures to hide their real intentions.
D.Gestures can express what the speaker really thinks.
10.What do the underlined words “at_sea” mean in Paragraph 4?
A.Nervous. B.Confused.
C.Incapable. D.Frightened.
11.What does GoldinMeadow offer in the last section of her book?
A.Practical advice. B.Educational theory.
C.Reliable proofs. D.Research conclusions.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了Susan GoldinMeadow的一本新书,作者在书中论述了她对人们说话时的手势的研究成果。
8.C [解析]推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,作者介绍了关于意大利人的笑话,是为了说明手势和语言之间的密切关系。故选C。
9.D [解析]推理判断题。根据第三段中的“People who say they believe in gender equality but gesture with their hands lower when talking about women are not indicating women's shorter height; they can be shown to have prejudices of which they may not be aware.”可知,作者提到嘴上谈论性别平等的人是想说明手势可以表达说话人的真实想法。故选D。
10.B [解析]词义猜测题。根据画线部分的上文“Some students who fail at a difficult mathematics problem may gesture in a way that indicates they are on the point of understanding it.They should be taught differently from the ones”可知,前面提到的学生并非完全不理解难题,因此此处指对待他们的方式与那些完全不懂的学生应有所区别,画线部分应该与confused“困惑的”意思一致。故选B。
11.A [解析]细节理解题。最后一段提到,老师们被鼓励既要自己使用手势,又要观察学生的手势;父母们被教导要在孩子做手势时补充他们最有可能遗漏的单词,而不是添加信息;那些手势较少的孩子更可能需要早期干预。由此可知,GoldinMeadow在书的最后一节提供了实用的建议。故选A。
D
(2025·福州高二期中)We like to think words are what matters.But in communicating with other people,what we do is at least as important as what we actually say.American professor Albert Mehrabian is one of the leading researchers on this topic.His study shows that within the first four minutes of meeting a stranger,our facial expressions make up 55 percent of the impression we make.In comparison,only 7 percent of that impression comes from our actual words,with the rest of the information coming from the tone(语气) of voice.
We may also like to think body language cannot be read like a book.It has no systematic grammar like that of a spoken/written language.And it seems less formal and exact.But scientists have found body language does have its own rules and can be exactly examined like a book written in your native tongue.For example,researchers Paul Ekman and Wallace Friesen have identified about 3,000 different expressions and their meanings.They created the Facial Action Coding System(FACS),a tool for collecting meaning from expressions.
But it's also easy to misunderstand body language.The rules may fit most people but not everyone.Communication expert Carol Kinsey Goman once gave a report at a company in New York.The CEO sat at the table with his arms closely crossed,without smiling or nodding encouragement.In the end,he simply said “thank you” without making eye contact and left the room.Goman was shocked when the man's secretary told her that he'd been favorably impressed by her.If the CEO hadn't liked what he'd heard,the secretary explained to Goman,“He would have gotten up right in the middle of your report and walked out”.
You can train yourself to control your body language,and even use it to make your communication more effective.Communication expert Theresa Zagnoli,suggests a simple but useful approach.The technique(方法),called mirroring,involves studying the facial expressions,body movements,and the tone of voice used by the person to whom you're talking,and then using them too.But make sure it's done in a relaxed and normal way,Zagnoli says.
12.How much of the impression comes from our tone according to Albert's research?
A.7%. B.15%.
C.38%. D.55%.
13.What does the example in Paragraph 2 show?
A.Body language can be systematically studied.
B.It is hard to understand human body language.
C.The grammar of body language is very difficult.
D.Expressions have thousands of different meanings.
14.What did the CEO's body language mean in Goman's eyes?
A.He had a lot of work to do at the time.
B.He showed little interest in her report.
C.He was a little surprised at her report.
D.He wanted to give her a good impression.
15.What does Zagnoli advise you to do when talking?
A.Use more body language secretly.
B.Copy others' body language naturally.
C.Compare your body language with others'.
D.Improve your body language by learning experts'.
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了肢体语言的重要性。肢体语言可以被科学分析,用来提高交际效果。
12.C [解析]推理判断题。根据第一段中的“His study shows that ...with the rest of the information coming from the tone of voice.”可知,在第一印象中,面部表情占55%,语言占7%,语气占100%-55%-7%,即38%。故选C。
13.A [解析]推理判断题。根据第二段中的“But scientists have found body language does have its own rules and can be exactly examined like a book written in your native tongue.”可推知,第二段中的例子表明肢体语言可以系统地学习。故选A。
14.B [解析]推理判断题。根据第三段可知,在Goman看来,那位CEO在她作报告时双臂交叉,没有微笑和点头给予鼓励,是对她的讲解不太感兴趣。故选B。
15.B [解析]细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“The technique,called mirroring ...But make sure it's done in a relaxed and normal way,Zagnoli says.”可知,Zagnoli 建议我们在谈话的时候自然地模仿他人的肢体语言。故选B。

Body language can reflect our confidence level.16.______ and another way when we're nervous.At a glance(看一眼),most people can tell if we're confident or not.So we should learn some tips to show confidence through body language so that we always appear confident and ready.
17.______
The first tip to show confidence with body language is to keep your hands out of your pockets.We often put our hands in our pockets when we're unsure of ourselves.And that's how other people will view us.
Keep your eyes forward
18.______,it often feels natural to lower your head slightly and watch your step.However,this gesture communicates to others that you don't want to interact.And if you're not careful,you might get into the habit of doing it all the time.So keep your head up and your eyes forward,even when you're walking down the street by yourself.
Smile
Try this as an experiment:Smile at someone as you pass by them on the street or walk around the office.19.______.Now wouldn't you like to have that effect on people all the time?
Firm handshakes
There are few things worse than reaching out your hand during an introduction and getting a handshake which is not firm enough.Don't be that guy.Instead,hold the other person's hand firmly and confidently.Of course,a handshake is not a contest.20.______.
A.Take wide steps
B.Avoid your pockets
C.It's very likely that they'll smile back
D.When you're walking anywhere by yourself
E.Don't try to hold the other person's hand too long
F.If you want to show confidence with body language
G.We stand and walk a certain way when we're confident
【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些有助于展现自信的肢体语言。
16.G [解析]空前“Body language can reflect our confidence level.”提到了肢体语言可以反映我们的自信程度;空后and another way when we're nervous提到了紧张时会有不一样的肢体语言,由此可知,空处是在说明自信的时候的肢体语言。G项“当我们自信的时候,我们会以某种方式站立和行走”符合语境。故选G。
17.B [解析]根据下文“The first tip to show confidence with body language is to keep your hands out of your pockets.”可知,本段给出的建议是不要把手放在口袋里,B项中的pockets对应后文pockets。因此B项“避开你的口袋”适合作本段的小标题。故选B。
18.D [解析]根据本段的小标题“Keep your eyes forward(眼睛向前看)”及空后“it often feels natural to lower your head slightly and watch your step(稍微低下头,注意脚下,这通常是很自然的)”可知,空处应当是在假设行走的时候,该注意脚下。D项“当你独自行走的时候”符合语境。故选D。
19.C [解析]根据空前“Try this as an experiment:Smile at someone as you pass by them on the street or walk around the office.(试着做个实验:当你在街上或在办公室里经过某人时,对他们微笑。)”及空后“Now wouldn't you like to have that effect on people all the time?(难道你不想一直对别人产生这种影响吗?)”可知,上文提到了对他人微笑,空处应当说明他们对此的反应。C项“他们很有可能会报以微笑”符合语境。故选C。
20.E [解析]根据空前“Of course,a handshake is not a contest.(当然,握手不是比赛。)”可知,空处承接上文,说明握手的注意事项。E项“不要试图握别人的手太久”符合语境。故选E。

Body language is very useful to make yourself easily understood.Some gestures are accepted by both Chinese and foreigners as they have the same meanings.
Body language also varies from culture to culture.For example,people in some countries kiss each other when they meet,but men in China shake hands instead of kissing.So when you are in a foreign country,knowing the meanings of gestures will help you communicate with people easily,avoid misunderstandings and make your stay there much pleasant and more comfortable.
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。
A young woman was waiting for her flight at an airport.She was leaving for London because she got a new job there.It was said that her new boss was a typical English gentleman—polite,modest,humorous and considerate.She was excited as well as a little nervous about her new life.
With several long hours before her flight,the woman hunted for a book in the airport shops,bought a packet of cookies and found a place to sit.She took out the book and started to read.Although she was absorbed in her book,she happened to see that the man sitting beside her,as bold(大胆的) as he could be,grabbed(抓) a cookie or two from the bag in between them.Educated to be wellmannered,she tried to ignore it to avoid an argument.But to show that she was the owner,she started to take cookies from that bag, too.Unfortunately,the man didn't get that hint(暗示),since he didn't stop grabbing the cookies.
“How annoying!” she thought.As the greedy cookie thief kept eating,the woman munched(用力咀嚼) some cookies and watched the clock.
She was getting angrier as the minutes went by,thinking,“If I weren't so nice,I would blacken his eyes.” With each cookie she took,he took one,too;when only one was left,she wondered what he would do.
With a smile on his face,and a nervous laugh,he took the last cookie and broke it in half.He offered her a half,and ate the other.She grabbed it from him,glared at him and thought,“Oh,Brother.This guy has some nerve and he is so rude! Why didn't he even show any gratefulness?”
She had never known when she had been so angry,and sighed in relief when her flight was called.She gathered her belongings and headed to the gate quickly,refusing to look back at the rude thief.She boarded the plane,sank in her seat,and looked for her book,which was almost complete.

Paragraph 1:
As she reached in her baggage,she gasped(喘气) with surprise.At that moment,in her sight came the packet of cookies,which had been just bought by her,unopened at all.Ashamed and feeling like a thief,she finally got that the cookies were not hers but belonged to the man sitting next to her,who had calmly offered to share his last cookie with her.A sudden rush of shy blood filling the face,she instinctively looked around with the hope of finding the very man to make an apology.
Paragraph 2:
Surprisingly,she found the man sitting just behind her. He was just looking up and met her eyes,also with a smile on his face.The woman was at an absolute loss but gave the man a nervous laugh in return.With a quite open mouth,she was unable to say any apology to him.Murmuring “Sorry,sorry ...It was I myself who was the real cookie thief.”After a while,she fell asleep on her seat with the plane flying steadily.The next day,when she arrived at her new company,she learned that “cookie thief” turned out to be her new boss.
