一次难忘的跨文化交流活动
上周,我校举办了国际文化交流周,我有幸结识了来自英国的交换生汤姆。活动第一天,一个陌生的身影向我走来 —— 他正是汤姆,脸上带着友好的微笑。“无论何时你需要帮助,都可以找我!” 他真诚地说。
在文化分享会上,大家先保持了片刻沉默,随后汤姆开始介绍英国的传统习俗。他提到,在英国,狗被认为是诚实的伙伴,这和我们文化中对狗的部分认知存在差异。老师表扬了他的精彩分享,还鼓励我们课后做一些研究,探索更多隐藏的文化差异。
汤姆悄悄分享了一个秘密:为了避免交流时因发音不准而犯错误,他花了三个月每天练习口语。他还说,古代英国人常把勇气比作宝剑,视其为赢得胜利的关键。我们都为他的坚持和努力感到骄傲,纷纷为他鼓掌。
活动结束后,我深刻体会到:跨文化交流的核心是尊重差异、坦诚沟通,唯有这样才能打破隔阂,收获珍贵的友谊。

An Unforgettable Cross-Cultural Communication Activity
Last week, our school held an International Cultural Exchange Week, and I was lucky to meet Tom, an exchange student from Britain.

At the cultural sharing meeting, everyone kept ____________ (3) for a moment, and then Tom began to introduce British traditional customs. He mentioned that in Britain, dogs are ____________ (4) ____________ (5) partners, which has a ____________ (6) from some of our cultural perceptions of dogs. The teacher ____________ (7) his wonderful sharing and encouraged us to do some ____________ (8) after class to explore more hidden cultural differences.
Tom quietly shared a ____________ (9): to avoid ____________ (10) due to incorrect ____________ (11) during communication, he spent three months practicing oral English every day. He also said that ____________ (12) Britons often ____________ (13) courage ____________ (14) a sword, regarding it as the key to winning ____________ (15). We all felt great ____________ (16) in his perseverance and efforts and applauded him warmly.

2. 易考词汇变形语境练
When communicating with people from other cultures, we may meet a ____________ (strange) at first. Don’t be nervous — a warm smile and clear ____________ (express) of kindness can help break the ice. First, we should understand the ____________ (different) between cultures. For example, in China, “dog” has some negative meanings, but in Western cultures, it stands for ____________ (honest). We should never be ____________ (honest) about our lack of knowledge — asking questions bravely helps avoid misunderstandings.
Second, pay attention to ____________ (pronounce) when speaking English. Poor pronunciation may make others misunderstand your words. Sometimes, even a moment of ____________ (silent) is better than wrong expression. After successful communication, we can take ____________ (proud) in our efforts.
Last week, I talked with a foreign student. This experience taught me that ____________ (honest) communication and respect for differences are important. If you have similar stories, please share them with me ____________ you have time. Small steps like these can help build better cross-cultural connections.

【答案】例文
My Experience in Cross-Cultural CommunicationLast month, our school held an international cultural exchange activity, and I made friends with Linda, an exchange student from America.
Linda told me some interesting cultural differences. In America, “dog” often stands for friendliness — for example, “you are a lucky dog” means you are lucky. But in some Chinese phrases, “dog” has negative meanings. Besides, Americans usually wave to greet others, while we Chinese often nod and smile. To avoid misunderstandings, I did some research on American culture before the activity and communicated honestly with Linda.
This experience taught me a lot. I realized that respecting cultural differences is the key to smooth communication. I’m proud of making friends with Linda and looking forward to more such activities.
范文分析:

开头:用 “held an international cultural exchange activity” 总起,呼应 “文化交流” 场景;
中间:分 “描述差异→应对方法” 两层,对应题目所有提示,逻辑与 “发现差异→研究差异” 结构一致;
结尾:用 “taught me a lot” 升华主题,贴合 “关注文化含义才能更好理解” 的核心观点。
(2)话题词句运用
课文词汇:exchange student、cultural differences、communicate、respect;
课文短语:stand for、do some research、look forward to;
课文句型:“In America, ... but in China, ...”。
(3)贴合主题
所有内容围绕 “跨文化交流中的差异与应对”,差异案例(狗的象征、问候方式)均来自核心场景;
应对方法 “做文化研究、坦诚沟通” 符合 “do some research on body language” 的倡导,体现 “从课文到写作” 的应用能力。

二、完形填空
If communication is mostly done through the body language, then misunderstanding a country’s special looks and signs can really leave visitors all at sea.
The language in Turkey is 16 for those who are new to the country, and misreading Turkish body language seems to create another problem.
“Nodding for ‘no’ is the biggest 17 I faced,” says Henry, 22, an African student studying social services in Turkey. “Nodding here in Turkey is like saying ‘no’, unlike the 18 of the world,” he says.
Many guidebooks warn foreign visitors to be careful. In 2008, a famous travel writer wrote: “To 19 ‘no’, Turks nod their heads, 20 their eyebrows (眉毛) at the same time. Simply raising the eyebrows means the same thing.” Almost all foreign students faced problems understanding this sign, 21 when taking the bus.
When foreigners try to check if a bus goes to a certain place, they usually misunderstand 22 the bus driver nods his head. Passengers get 23 the bus, thinking the driver has replied “yes”. “I have got on many 24 buses because I thought the driver meant ‘yes’. Then I found myself in another place,” says Henry.
Eric is also a foreign student in Turkey. He shared his story. “I asked the teacher if I could go to the toilet. He nodded and I misunderstood. When I went out, he got 25 and asked me where I was going. When I told him I was going to the toilet, he said ‘Didn’t I just tell you that you couldn’t go?’ It was very hard for me to get used to at first!”
16.A.clear B.funny C.hard D.interesting
17.A.plan B.mistake C.task D.problem
18.A.rest B.center C.end D.other
19.A.exercise B.show C.play D.record
20.A.covering B.touching C.lifting D.pulling
21.A.immediately B.recently C.probably D.especially
22.A.when B.though C.if D.unless
23.A.on B.over C.off D.to
24.A.old B.wrong C.strange D.small
25.A.worried B.sad C.tired D.surprised
【答案】
16.C 17.D 18.A 19.B 20.C 21.D 22.A 23.A 24.B 25.D
【导语】本文主要介绍了同样的肢体语言在不同国家可能会有不同的意思,并重点说了在土耳其人点头的意思。
16.句意:土耳其的语言对刚到这个国家的人来说很难,但误读土耳其人的肢体语言似乎又带来了另一个问题。
clear清晰的;funny有趣的;hard困难的;interesting有趣的。根据“but misreading Turkish body language seems to create another problem.”可知,人们对误解土耳其的肢体语言是另一难题,因此土耳其的语言对于刚来这个国家的人也是一个问题,应是很难理解,故选C。
17.句意:点头表示‘不’是我面临的最大问题。
plan计划;mistake错误;task任务;problem问题。根据“but misreading Turkish body language seems to create another problem”可知,肢体语言是刚来土耳其的人要面对的一个问题,故选D。
18. 句意:在土耳其点头就像说‘不’,与世界其他地方不同。
rest其他;center中心;end结尾;other其他的。根据“unlike the...of the world”可知和世界上其他地方不同,the rest of“其他的……”。故选A。
19.句意:为了表示“不”,土耳其人点头,同时扬起眉毛。
exercise练习;show表示;play玩;record记录。根据“Turks nod their heads...their eyebrows (眉毛) at the same time.”可知,土耳其人点头,同时扬起眉毛,这是在表示“不”,故选B。
20.句意:为了表示“不”,土耳其人点头,同时扬起眉毛。
covering覆盖;touching触摸;lifting举起;pulling拉。根据“Simply raising the eyebrows means the same thing.”可知,此处表示扬起眉毛,故选C。
21.句意:几乎所有的外国学生在理解这个手势时会遇到困难,尤其是在乘坐公共汽车时。
immediately马上;recently最近;probably可能;especially尤其。根据“Almost all foreign students faced problems understanding this sign...when taking the bus”可知此处强调在外国学生乘坐公交车时,在理解这个手势时会遇到困难。故选D。
22.句意:当外国人试图确认公交车是否开往某个地方时,他们通常会误解司机点头的意思。
when当……时候;though尽管;if如果;unless除非。根据“they usually misunderstand”可知,是在公交车司机点头的时候,他们经常会误解,因此用when引导时间状语从句,故选A。
23.句意:乘客上了车,以为司机已经回答了“是”。
on在上面;over在……上方;off离开;to向。根据“thinking the driver has replied ‘yes’”可知,一位司机回答了“是”,因此乘客上了车,get on“上车”,故选A。
24.句意:我上过很多次错的公交车,因为我以为司机的意思是‘是’。然后我发现自己在另一个地方。
old年老的;wrong错误的;strange奇怪的;small小的。根据“because I thought the driver meant ‘yes’. Then I found myself in another place.”可知,以为司机的意思是“是”,结果发现自己到了另一个地方,因此他坐错了公交车,故选B。
25.句意:当我想出去的时候,他很惊讶,问我要去哪里。
worried担心的;sad悲伤的;tired累的;surprised惊讶的。根据“asked me where I was going”可知,他问我去哪里,因此他看见我要出去,感到很惊讶,故选D。
三、阅读理解
Why should we learn body language?
In English classes, we spend a large amount of time studying grammar and learning new words. We work hard to improve our reading and listening skills. Few of us, however, pay enough attention to body language. So body language is not important, is it?
The answer is “No!” Sometimes, we can communicate with others even without a single word. For example, shrugging our shoulders (耸肩), and without a word, we’ve just said, “I don’t know.”
Body language can help us stress what we are saying. It can help us express our true, inner feelings. Moreover, body language can help us find out if someone is lying. Often, people who are lying do not make eye contact. They may raise their shoulders because they are uncomfortable with the conversation.
In job interviews, the interviewers (面试官) can sometimes judge (评判) the interviewee (被采访者) before he or she speaks. Body language is important in our personal life, too. It can show if you really care about your friends. Leaning (前倾) forward in the conversation, for example, means you are interested in what is being said. Listening without making eye contact means you are not paying attention but are waiting for your turn to speak.
Scientists have been studying body language for a long time. They say more than 70 percent of our messages are given through body language, Sometimes, body language is more accurate (精准的) than the words we use.
So it is very important for us to learn body language. By understanding body language, we are less likely to be misunderstood. We will find it easier to get a job. We will also have lasting friendships.
26.In English classes, people do all of the following things EXCEPT ________.
A.studying grammar B.learning new words
C.improving reading and listening skills D.practising using body language
27.Which of the following pictures is the person saying “I don’t know.”?
A. B. C. D.
28.According to paragraph 3, what can body language help us do?

四、任务型阅读
阅读下面短文,回答问题。
Have you heard of “soft skills” before? To be honest, they’re abilities that are not taught in school. However, to be truly happy and successful, you need to develop soft skills. Here are some of them.
Understand the power of non-language communication. If you have watched a nature program, you’ve probably seen how some animals communicate. For example, a wolf can control its young just by using a different look in its eyes. While humans have the ability to speak, about 55% of our face-to-face communication actually takes place through body language.
Know how to make others laugh. I’m sure with your friends and family you have a great sense of humor. However, how about at work or when you meet strangers? Break free, and add humor to your actions. Then your personal happiness will rise.
Respect others. Unfortunately, this soft skill seems to be going out of fashion at present. Too many people have become self-centered, and put their own hopes above the needs of other people. Please make sure you respect all those you come into contact with. Interestingly, by respecting others, you’ll find they respect you more in return.
Have persuasive (令人信服的) power. This isn’t some kind of superheroes’ power. It’s an ability that many people have developed. If you learn to communicate persuasively, you will go far.
31.How can a wolf control its young?
32.Have these “soft skills” ever been taught in school?
33.What percent of our face-to-face communication actually takes place through body language?
34.What will others do when you respect them?
35.Do you like the “soft skills” of respecting others? Why or why not?(30个词以内回答)
【答案】31.By using a different look in its eyes. 32.No, they haven’t./No. 33.About 55%. 34.They will respect you more in return. 35.Yes, I do. Because this “soft skill” will make others respect me more./No, I don’t. Because I don’t want to put my own hopes above the needs of other people.
【导语】本文介绍了一些软技巧在与人交往时的重要性。
31.根据第二段“For example, a wolf can control its young just by using a different look in its eyes.”可知,狼通过不同的眼神来控制幼崽。故填By using a different look in its eyes.
32. 根据第一段“To be honest, they’re abilities that are not taught in school.”可知,学校不教软技巧。故填No, they haven’t./No.
33.根据“While humans have the ability to speak, about 55% of our face-to-face communication actually takes place through body language.”可知,约55%的面对面交流通过肢体语言进行。故填About 55%.
34.根据“Interestingly, by respecting others, you’ll find they respect you more in return.”可知,当你尊重他人时,他人会更尊重您的回报。故填They will respect you more in return.
35.答案不唯一,合理即可。参考答案:Yes, I do. Because this “soft skill” will make others respect me more./No, I don’t. Because I don’t want to put my own hopes above the needs of other people.
五、短文填空
阅读以下短文,根据语境、音标或所给单词的提示,在每个空格内填入一个恰当的词,要求所填的词意义准确、形式正确,使短文意思完整、行文连贯。
Do you know how people send messages to each other? Scientists say only 35% of our communication is 36 (do) through spoken language and the other 65% through “body language”. It is 37 /′nætʃərəl/ for us to use our bodies to share our thoughts and feelings.
Some of the ways of body language are the same all over the world. For example, smiling may be the 38 (easy) body language. People understand its meaning 39 thinking. So it is good to smile when we meet people. But the meaning of some body languages changes from one culture to 40 . Most people move their heads up and down to mean “yes” and side to side to mean “no”. You may think that these have the same meanings 41 /′evriweə/. However, they have the opposite meanings. In one country, people move their heads side to side to mean “yes”, and up and down to mean “no”.
As we have looked at some examples, there are many 42 (kind) of body languages and their meanings may change. It is necessary for us to understand them. 43 we don’t understand them, we may make a mistake and send a wrong 44 /′sɪgnəl/. The best advice is 45 watch what other people do in their cultures and follow them.
【答案】
36.done 37.natural 38.easiest 39.without 40.another 41.everywhere 42.kinds 43.If 44.signal 45. to
【导语】本文主要讲述了肢体语言在不同文化中的不同含义。
36.句意:科学家说,我们的交流只有35%是通过口头语言进行的,另外65%是通过“肢体语言”进行的。主语“our communication”和谓语动词“do”之间是被动关系,根据“is”可知,空处应填动词的过去分词形式,构成一般现在时的被动语态。故填done。
37.句意:对我们来说,用我们的身体来分享我们的想法和感受是很自然的。根据“/′nætʃərəl/”可知,此处单词为natural,表示“自然的”。故填natural。
38.句意:例如,微笑可能是最简单的肢体语言。根据“may be the…body language”可知,定冠词the后跟形容词的最高级形式,easiest表示“最简单的”,作定语修饰其后名词。故填easiest。
39.句意:人们不用思考就能理解它的意思。根据“smiling may be the...(easy) body language.”可知,人们不需要思考,就可以理解微笑的含义。without thinking,表示“不加思索”。故填without。
40.句意:但是一些肢体语言的含义在不同文化中是不同的。根据“from one culture to…”可知,此处是指在另一种文化中,from one...to another表示“从一个到另一个”。故填another。
41.句意:你可能认为这些在任何地方都有相同的含义。根据“/′evriweə/.”可知,此处是副词everywhere,表示“到处”。故填everywhere。
42.句意:正如我们所看到的一些例子,身体语言有很多种,它们的含义可能会改变。many后跟名词复数形式kinds,表示“种类”。故填kinds。
43.句意:如果我们不理解它们,我们可能会犯错误,发出错误的信号。此处是指“如果”我们不理解这些肢体语言,应用连词if引导条件状语从句,句首首字母应大写。故填If。
44.句意:如果我们不理解它们,我们可能会犯错误,发出错误的信号。根据“/′sɪgnəl/”可知,此处应用名词signal,表示“信号”。故填signal。
45.句意:最好的建议是观察其他人在他们的文化中是怎么做的,然后效仿他们。分析句子可知,此处需用动词不定式作表语,空后为动词原形watch,空处应填不定式符号to。故填to。

一次难忘的跨文化交流活动
上周,我校举办了国际文化交流周,我有幸结识了来自英国的交换生汤姆。活动第一天,一个陌生的身影向我走来 —— 他正是汤姆,脸上带着友好的微笑。“无论何时你需要帮助,都可以找我!” 他真诚地说。
在文化分享会上,大家先保持了片刻沉默,随后汤姆开始介绍英国的传统习俗。他提到,在英国,狗被认为是诚实的伙伴,这和我们文化中对狗的部分认知存在差异。老师表扬了他的精彩分享,还鼓励我们课后做一些研究,探索更多隐藏的文化差异。
汤姆悄悄分享了一个秘密:为了避免交流时因发音不准而犯错误,他花了三个月每天练习口语。他还说,古代英国人常把勇气比作宝剑,视其为赢得胜利的关键。我们都为他的坚持和努力感到骄傲,纷纷为他鼓掌。
活动结束后,我深刻体会到:跨文化交流的核心是尊重差异、坦诚沟通,唯有这样才能打破隔阂,收获珍贵的友谊。
英语短文
An Unforgettable Cross-Cultural Communication Activity
Last week, our school held an International Cultural Exchange Week, and I was lucky to meet Tom, an exchange student from Britain. On the first day of the activity, a ____________ (1) figure came towards me — it was Tom, with a friendly smile on his face. “____________ (2) you need help, you can turn to me!” he said sincerely.
At the cultural sharing meeting, everyone kept ____________ (3) for a moment, and then Tom began to introduce British traditional customs. He mentioned that in Britain, dogs are ____________ (4) ____________ (5) partners, which has a ____________ (6) from some of our cultural perceptions of dogs. The teacher ____________ (7) his wonderful sharing and encouraged us to do some ____________ (8) after class to explore more hidden cultural differences.
Tom quietly shared a ____________ (9): to avoid ____________ (10) due to incorrect ____________ (11) during communication, he spent three months practicing oral English every day. He also said that ____________ (12) Britons often ____________ (13) courage ____________ (14) a sword, regarding it as the key to winning ____________ (15). We all felt great ____________ (16) in his perseverance and efforts and applauded him warmly.
After the activity, I deeply realized that the core of cross-cultural communication is respecting differences and communicating honestly. Only in this way can we break down barriers and gain precious friendships.
2. 易考词汇变形语境练
When communicating with people from other cultures, we may meet a ____________ (strange) at first. Don’t be nervous — a warm smile and clear ____________ (express) of kindness can help break the ice. First, we should understand the ____________ (different) between cultures. For example, in China, “dog” has some negative meanings, but in Western cultures, it stands for ____________ (honest). We should never be ____________ (honest) about our lack of knowledge — asking questions bravely helps avoid misunderstandings.
Second, pay attention to ____________ (pronounce) when speaking English. Poor pronunciation may make others misunderstand your words. Sometimes, even a moment of ____________ (silent) is better than wrong expression. After successful communication, we can take ____________ (proud) in our efforts.
Last week, I talked with a foreign student. This experience taught me that ____________ (honest) communication and respect for differences are important. If you have similar stories, please share them with me ____________ you have time. Small steps like these can help build better cross-cultural connections.

二、完形填空
If communication is mostly done through the body language, then misunderstanding a country’s special looks and signs can really leave visitors all at sea.
The language in Turkey is 16 for those who are new to the country, and misreading Turkish body language seems to create another problem.
“Nodding for ‘no’ is the biggest 17 I faced,” says Henry, 22, an African student studying social services in Turkey. “Nodding here in Turkey is like saying ‘no’, unlike the 18 of the world,” he says.
Many guidebooks warn foreign visitors to be careful. In 2008, a famous travel writer wrote: “To 19 ‘no’, Turks nod their heads, 20 their eyebrows (眉毛) at the same time. Simply raising the eyebrows means the same thing.” Almost all foreign students faced problems understanding this sign, 21 when taking the bus.
When foreigners try to check if a bus goes to a certain place, they usually misunderstand 22 the bus driver nods his head. Passengers get 23 the bus, thinking the driver has replied “yes”. “I have got on many 24 buses because I thought the driver meant ‘yes’. Then I found myself in another place,” says Henry.
Eric is also a foreign student in Turkey. He shared his story. “I asked the teacher if I could go to the toilet. He nodded and I misunderstood. When I went out, he got 25 and asked me where I was going. When I told him I was going to the toilet, he said ‘Didn’t I just tell you that you couldn’t go?’ It was very hard for me to get used to at first!”
16.A.clear B.funny C.hard D.interesting
17.A.plan B.mistake C.task D.problem
18.A.rest B.center C.end D.other
19.A.exercise B.show C.play D.record
20.A.covering B.touching C.lifting D.pulling
21.A.immediately B.recently C.probably D.especially
22.A.when B.though C.if D.unless
23.A.on B.over C.off D.to
24.A.old B.wrong C.strange D.small
25.A.worried B.sad C.tired D.surprised
三、阅读理解
Why should we learn body language?
In English classes, we spend a large amount of time studying grammar and learning new words. We work hard to improve our reading and listening skills. Few of us, however, pay enough attention to body language. So body language is not important, is it?
The answer is “No!” Sometimes, we can communicate with others even without a single word. For example, shrugging our shoulders (耸肩), and without a word, we’ve just said, “I don’t know.”
Body language can help us stress what we are saying. It can help us express our true, inner feelings. Moreover, body language can help us find out if someone is lying. Often, people who are lying do not make eye contact. They may raise their shoulders because they are uncomfortable with the conversation.
In job interviews, the interviewers (面试官) can sometimes judge (评判) the interviewee (被采访者) before he or she speaks. Body language is important in our personal life, too. It can show if you really care about your friends. Leaning (前倾) forward in the conversation, for example, means you are interested in what is being said. Listening without making eye contact means you are not paying attention but are waiting for your turn to speak.
Scientists have been studying body language for a long time. They say more than 70 percent of our messages are given through body language, Sometimes, body language is more accurate (精准的) than the words we use.
So it is very important for us to learn body language. By understanding body language, we are less likely to be misunderstood. We will find it easier to get a job. We will also have lasting friendships.
26.In English classes, people do all of the following things EXCEPT ________.
A.studying grammar B.learning new words
C.improving reading and listening skills D.practising using body language
27.Which of the following pictures is the person saying “I don’t know.”?
A. B. C. D.
28.According to paragraph 3, what can body language help us do?
①get a job. ②stress what we are saying.
③express our true and inner feelings. ④find out if someone is lying.
A.①②③ B.②③④ C.①②④ D.①③④
29.What may people who are lying do?
A.Lean forward. B.Make eye contact.
C.Raise their shoulders. D.Shrug their shoulders.
30.What does the writer want to tell us through this text?
A.To teach readers to understand body language.
B.To tell readers the importance of learning body language.
C.To show readers how to find out if someone is lying.
D.To help readers improve their English reading and listening skills.
