内容正文:
Xiaohe knew that appropriate body language could bridge gaps in communication.One day, she witnessed an incident where a misunderstanding led to a conflict between two friends.To help, Xiaohe used gentle gestures, like a slight bow and a lowered head, to show respect and calm the situation.She avoided staring, as it might create a barrier, and instead maintained a soft tone to clarify the issue.When one friend began to weep, Xiaohe bent forward slightly, offering comfort without bothering them.Her thoughtful actions seemed to favour a peaceful resolution, as both friends gradually softened.Ultimately, Xiaohe's use of body language not only resolved the conflict but also deepened their bond.She realized how powerful nonverbal cues could be in fostering understanding and harmony.

LISTENING TO HOW BODIES TALK
We use both words and① body language to express our thoughts and opinions in our interactions② with other people.We can learn a lot about③ what people are thinking by watching their body language.Words are important, but [1]the way people stand, hold their arms, and move their hands can also give us information about their feelings.
[1]the way后跟定语从句, 省略了关系词that或in which。
Just like④ spoken language, body language varies from culture to⑤ culture.The crucial⑥ thing is using body language in a way that is appropriate⑦ to the culture you are in.For example, making eye contact—looking into someone's eyes⑧—in some countries is a way to display interest.In other countries, by contrast⑨, eye contact is not always approved of⑩.For example, in many Middle Eastern countries, men and women are not socially⑪ permitted to make eye contact.[2]In Japan, it may demonstrate⑫ respect to look down when talking to an older person.
[2]句中when talking to an older person为省略句, 其完整形式为when one is talking to an older person。
The gesture⑬ for “OK” has different meanings in different cultures.In Japan, someone who witnesses⑭ another person employing⑮ the gesture might think it means money.In France, a person encountering an identical⑯ gesture may interpret⑰ it as meaning zero.[3]However, you should avoid making⑱ this gesture in Brazil and Germany, as it is not considered polite.
[3]句中as为连词, 引导原因状语从句。
Even the gestures we use for “yes” and “no” differ⑲ around the world.In many countries, shaking one's head means “no”, and nodding means “yes”.By comparison⑳, in Bulgaria and southern Albania, the gestures have the opposite㉑ 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 part㉒.In countries like France and Russia, people may kiss their friends on the cheek㉓ when they meet.Elsewhere, people favour㉔ shaking hands, bowing㉕ from the waist㉖, or nodding the head when they meet someone else.
Some gestures seem to㉗ have the same meaning everywhere.[4]Placing your hands together and resting㉘ them on the side of your head while㉙ 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.
[4]此处为两个并列的动名词短语作为一个完整的动作作主语, 因此谓语动词用第三人称单数;其中while引导时间状语从句,在句中为省略形式。
Some body language has many different uses.Perhaps the best example is smiling.A smile can help us get through㉚ difficult situations and find friends in a world of strangers.A smile can break down㉛ barriers㉜.We can use a smile to apologise, to greet someone, to ask for help㉝, or to start a conversation.Experts suggest㉞ smiling at㉟ yourself in the mirror to make yourself feel happier and stronger.And if we are feeling down㊱ or lonely, there is nothing better than seeing the smiling face of a good friend.

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。使用肢体语言时, 最重要的是要符合你所处的文化。例如, 在一些国家, 眼神交流(即直视某人的眼睛)是展现兴趣的一种方式。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。
“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, 看到同样手势的人可能会将其解读为“零”。然而, 在巴西和德国, 你应该避免做出这一手势, 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”的肢体语言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,这两个动作的含义截然相反。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、更加强大。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。

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共17.5分)
A
Believe it or not, you could be creating a bad impression on others, whether at your job or in your personal life, with what you don't say, even if you are saying and doing the right things.That's because many of our reactions to others are based on body language.If your body language is communicating a negative message, that's the message others could be getting, regardless of what actual words come out of your mouth.
What are some of the negative messages sent via body language? Things like having your arms folded across the chest can show hostility (敌意).Lack of eye contact can indicate shiftiness (奸诈).An unsmiling face could communicate a variety of things, like anger, disappointment or sadness, depending upon what other facial expressions are included at the same time.Want to know what body language communicates? An interesting approach is to watch a TV show or a movie with the sound off, and see how much you can figure out of the plot, or at least you can get a sense of what is going on.
However, many of the clues that indicate negativity could also be the result of nervousness or other issues.For example, somebody who doesn't make eye contact could simply be nervous.The same is true of a notsofirm handshake.Someone folding his arms could simply be more comfortable with the arms that way.Someone who doesn't smile could be selfconscious about his teeth.The person who sends off bad body gestures may not even realize that they're doing it.
Unfortunately, some people who do recognize what body language communicates are scam (欺诈) artists.They may have the firmest handshake you've ever had, the shiniest smile you've ever seen and make the greatest eye contact so that you find their sincerity so convincing and their schemes so irresistible.They can achieve what they desire because they know how much this nonverbal communication matters in communicating a sense of trustworthiness.People fall for them, because their body language seems so truthful.
If you're not sure what your body language is communicating, better ask a trusted friend for help.You can also concentrate on standing up straight and sitting up straight, if posture (姿势) is a problem.What's more, practicing in front of a mirror can also help you get rid of some bad habits.Also, remember to smile and nod if needed.And try to learn how to relax.Pay more attention to these details in your daily communications, and you will send more positive messages with your body language.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了肢体语言在日常交流中的重要性及其影响。
1.We can learn from Paragraph 4 that .
A.a person with great eye contact will be seen a scam artist
B.people can make use of body language for wrong purposes
C.one should not put trust in a person with a shiny smile
D.you will be regarded as a scam artist if you shake hands firmly
解析:选B。推理判断题。由文章第四段可推知,人们可能会利用肢体语言来达到不正当的目的。故选B。
2.The underlined phrase “fall for” is closest in meaning to “ ”.
A.be taken in B.be given up
C.be used to D.be fully dropped
解析:选A。词句猜测题。由画线词组上文“Unfortunately, some people who do recognize what body language communicates are scam (欺诈) artists.”以及下文“because their body language seems so truthful”可知,因为他们的肢体语言看起来很真实,所以人们会上当受骗,由此可知,画线词组fall for意思是“上当受骗”,与选项A“be taken in (受骗,上当受骗)”意思一致。故选A。
3.Which is the best title for this passage?
A.The Secret of Body Language
B.Body Language and Messages
C.Is Body Language Serving You Well?
D.What Can Body Language Convey?
解析:选C。标题归纳题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段可知,本文主要讲的是肢体语言在传达信息方面的重要性,并讨论了如何正确使用肢体语言来传达积极的信息。由此可知,C选项“Is Body Language Serving You Well? (肢体语言对你有好处吗?)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选C。
B
You may regard a wave as a common gesture, but what happens when you wave to your European friend across the street and she turns to walk the other way?
It isn't because your friend is tired of your company.While most Americans interpret a wave as a friendly greeting or goodbye, the same movement is just as likely to express no in parts of Europe and Latin America.The same dissonance is true of other signals: showing the number two by holding up two fingers with the palm facing inward is inoffensive in most of the world, but it's a rude gesture in the United Kingdom and Australia.
The most common understanding of the subject relates body language to spoken language.Gestures with specific meanings, while informally called “body language”, belong to the field of kinesics (人体动作学), an area of study that distinguishes these movements from instinctive actions, such as smiling when happy.Developed by Ray Birdwhistell in the 1950s, kinesics uses the building blocks of linguistics to understand how gestures produce meaning.As the units of sound that form spoken words are called phonemes (音素), the units of movement that form kinesic gestures are called kinemes—and, as the same phoneme can communicate a different meaning across languages, the same kineme can also communicate different meanings in different cultures or contexts.For example, the thumbsup kineme indicates praise in North America, but it means something extremely rude in Australia.
There's one more mess in understanding nonverbal communication, though.Although body language isn't universal, the emotions behind it may be.In a study performed by American researcher Paul Ekman, participants from the West, insular African communities, and New Guinea were shown a collection of more than 10,000 images illustrating different facial expressions.When 90 percent of participants regardless of cultural background, identified the same emotions in the photos, Ekman concluded that there were at least seven universal facial expressions: anger, disgust, fear, surprise, happiness, sadness, and contempt.

4.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Comparison. B.Disharmony.
C.Theory. D.Discomfort.
解析:选B。词义猜测题。根据第二段画线词下文“showing the number two by holding up two fingers with the palm facing inward is inoffensive in most of the world, but it's a rude gesture in the United Kingdom and Australia.”可知,下文在解释这一名词,即同一肢体语言,在不同的地方含义不相同,因此推断画线单词含义是“不一致,差异”。故选B。
5.What is the similarity between body and spoken language?
A.They can be divided into the field of kinesics together.
B.They are based on movements from instinctive actions.
C.They convey different meanings with the same element.
D.They can unite people in different countries and regions.
解析:选C。细节理解题。根据第三段可知,肢体语言与口语的相似之处是,它们用同样的元素传达了不同的含义。故选C。
6.How did Paul Ekman reach his conclusion?
A.By interviewing participants from diverse backgrounds.
B.By asking participants to show many facial expressions.
C.By observing how participants reacted to those images.
D.By judging if participants recognized the same emotions.
解析:选D。细节理解题。根据最后一段可知,Paul Ekman通过判断参与者是否能辨别相同的情绪得出结论。故选D。
7.What might be discussed in the following text?
A.Other types of facial expressions.
B.Applications of facial expressions.
C.Drawbacks of Paul Ekman's study.
D.Forms of nonverbal communication.
解析:选B。推理判断题。根据最后一段“When 90 percent of participants regardless of cultural background, identified the same emotions in the photos, Ekman concluded that there were at least seven universal facial expressions: anger, disgust, fear, surprise, happiness, sadness, and contempt.”可知,Paul Ekman发现,在不同的文化背景下,有些面部表情是通用的,因此可以推断接下来文章应该讲述这些通用的面部表情可以有哪些应用。故选B。
Ⅱ.完形填空(每小题1分,共15分)
At times we all wish that we knew what other people were thinking. 1 , people's facial expressions, movements and posture (姿势) can communicate a lot about what is going on in their minds.Understanding these messages hidden in people's body language can require a lot of skill, but Joe Navarro's book What EVERY BODY is Saying can help 2 that ability.
Small changes in body language can help you recognize if someone is 3 .Even when people don't lie directly, they sometimes try to hide their feelings.Whether you are 4 with people in business or in your personal life, recognizing these feelings can help you look out for their interests and your own.
According to Navarro, establishing a baseline for how a person behaves is important to avoid 5 their body language.Most facial expressions and gestures can mean several different things, so 6 when people use certain expressions.Recognizing this baseline can help you understand whether expressions and gestures indicate a(n) 7 to something you said or not.For example, rubbing one's eyes may be a sign of 8 with a topic.But if the person has been rubbing their eyes 9 , they might just be tired.
When people think of body language, facial expressions tend to come to mind, and these can tell you a lot.For example, if someone keeps looking away from you, they might be distracted or uncomfortable, and pressing one's lips together often indicates 10 .And if someone keeps looking away or covering their mouth, it might mean they are 11 something.
Some people have become good at controlling their facial expressions to conceal their 12 .When dealing with someone like them, look at the rest of their body, especially their feet and legs.Many people bounce their feet when they are happy or excited. 13 , if someone feels uncomfortable, they may point their feet away from the person they are speaking to.
Proximity (接近,亲近) to other people is also part of body language.People stand closer to people they like or feel comfortable with than to strangers or people they don't like.And posture also 14 .Sitting or standing up straight can show that someone feels confident, while sitting with crossed arms indicates that they feel 15 or uncomfortable.
Body language can communicate a lot about people's thoughts and feelings, and thus, help you relate to them.

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共20分)
A
Body language is an essential part of communication and can be just as important as our verbal (口头的) exchanges.Body language can be 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 nonverbal cues can strengthen the verbal messages you're sending or 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 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 selfesteem.

(2025·四川眉山检测)A facial expression results from one or more motions of the muscles of the face.These movements convey the emotional nonverbal communication.They are a primary means of conveying social information among humans, but also occur in most other mammals and some other animal species.
In the business world, much emphasis is placed on your first words, but it isn't all about what you say.You only have seconds to make a first impression that can make or break a relationship in business.Since the face is the first thing we notice about a person, it's vital to use your face to make that important connection.
Researchers have shown that 55 percent of nonverbal communication is facial.People generally try to mask negative expressions such as disappointment, fear or envy, but these feelings are often reflected in their eyes, or the downward turn of the mouth.
Genuine expressions of anger and surprise can be quite brief, lasting for only a few seconds.If an expression remains longer, it may be a sign of insincerity (不真诚).In general, a genuine expression matches the beginnings of a feeling, so watch for expressions that come after the words.
The research conducted last year by a team from Glasgow University, suggested that people from different cultures read facial expressions differently.Not only can that mean confusion in everyday life, but it can lead to confusion when conducting business.
The study found that East Asian participants tended to focus on the eyes of the other person, while Western subjects took in the whole face, including the eyes and the mouth.The work, which was published in Current Biology journal challenged the idea that facial expressions are universally understood.In the study, East Asians were more likely than Westerners to read the expression for “fear” as “surprise”, and “disgust” as “anger”.

Body Language Mistakes
You Should Avoid at Work
Communication is not only about words but also gestures.Therefore, you should be careful about how you use your body when expressing yourself.1( )
Avoiding eye contact
When speaking with a workmate, avoiding eye contact makes you look unprofessional.2( ) It also shows that you are not interested in the topic.Therefore, you should always keep eye contact especially when you are making a point.
Crossing your arms
3( ) In some cases, doing so may reveal that you want to put a distance between yourself and them.This is generally considered as a position of defence which will probably result in unharmonious working atmosphere.So just keep your arms open to give others a warm feeling.
Checking the time
Checking the time every few minutes makes people feel you are in a hurry or would rather be somewhere else.It looks like you are not interested in being there.Therefore, when you are speaking to your workmates, try not to look at the clock very often.
Bad body posture
Having a bad posture can mean that you are not interested in what is going on around you.4( ) It is important to stand or sit up straight when speaking to somebody.Also, keep your head high.
Weak handshake
A weak handshake means that you don't care much about the person you are shaking hands with.5( ) However, don't forget that a handshake that is too firm can be impolite.Therefore, try to find the right balance.
A.Nod your head to show that you are listening.
B.It may indicate that you are not selfconfident.
C.Try to greet the people with a strong handshake.
D.This shows that you have confidence in yourself.
E.Crossing your arms shows that you are not open to others.
F.Here are some body language mistakes you should avoid at work.
G.For instance, dropping shoulders or a lowering neck may indicate you are indifferent.

4.解析:选G。根据上文“Having a bad posture can mean that you are not interested in what is going on around you.”可知,上文说明不合适的身体姿势的影响。G项“For instance, dropping shoulders or a lowering neck may indicate you are indifferent.”举例说明一些不合适的身体姿势,故选G。
5.解析:选C。根据本段小标题“Weak handshake”可知,本段主要介绍握手无力这一肢体语言错误。根据下文“However, don't forget that a handshake that is too firm can be impolite.Therefore, try to find the right balance.”可知,空格处与下文构成转折关系。C项“Try to greet the people with a strong handshake.”符合本段主旨,承上启下,符合语境,故选C。

HOW DO I KNOW MY STUDENTS?
As an educator,people often ask me how I know what is going on in the minds of my students.Many students are quite shy and don't speak all that much.At the same time,in a classroom of more than forty students, it is hard to have many oneonone conversations with each person.So, how can I really know what makes each student tick?
My answer?I look at their body language.
It is easy to recognise when students are interested in a lesson.Most tend to look up and make eye contact.When I make a joke, they smile.When I talk about something difficult, they look confused.I know when students are really interested, however, because they lean forward and look at me.People have a tendency to lean towards whatever they are interested in.So if a student has his head lowered to look at his watch, it implies he is bored and just counting the minutes for the class to end.If two friends are leaning their heads together, they are probably writing notes to each other.Of course, not everyone who looks up is paying attention in class.Some students look up, but there is an absence of eye contact.Their eyes barely move, and they always have the same distant expression on their faces.It is as though they are asleep with their eyes open.
Some students are amused by something else.They spend all their time looking anywhere but at me.Then again, some students' favourite activity is daydreaming.With their chins on their hands, they occupy themselves by staring out of the window or up at the ceiling.They are certainly interested in something, but who knows what.The main thing is reminding distracted students that they need to pay attention in class.
While it is easy to perceive when students are interested, bored, or distracted, it is sometimes much harder to distinguish when students are troubled.Students who are angry, afraid, or experiencing anxiety may have their arms crossed in front of their chests and their legs closed or crossed, like they are guarding their bodies.Students who are sad or worried will nearly always wear a frown.They may also hide their faces in their hands like they are embarrassed or ashamed.Some students act this way merely because they are afraid of being called on by the teacher.However, if a student does not bother to brush her hair and her eyes are red from weeping, then I can infer that there are deeper issues at work.It could be that she is having serious conflicts with other students or at home.Whatever it is, I know I need to inquire and assess what is going on.
Ultimately, my duty is helping every student to learn.Their body language lets me know when to adjust class activities, when to intervene, and when to talk to students individually, so they can all get the most out of school.Reacting to body language is an important component of being a teacher.

1.描述性与分析性相结合
文章通过具体的描述来展现学生在课堂上的各种肢体语言,如“look up and make eye contact”“lean forward”“head lowered”“arms crossed”等,生动地描绘了学生在不同情绪状态下的肢体表现。在描述的基础上,作者进一步分析这些肢体语言所代表的含义,如“People have a tendency to lean towards whatever they are interested in.”“Students who are angry, afraid, or experiencing anxiety may have their arms crossed in front of their chests”,这种分析性语言帮助读者理解肢体语言背后的心理状态。
2.使用专业术语与通俗语言相结合
文章中使用了一些教育和心理学的专业术语,如“body language”“distracted”“anxiety”“conflicts”等,使文章具有一定的专业性。同时,作者也使用了通俗易懂的语言,如“tick”“amused by”“counting the minutes for the class to end”等,使文章更加贴近读者,易于理解。
3.语言简洁明了,富有感染力
文章语言简洁,避免冗长的句子和复杂的结构,如“Most tend to look up and make eye contact.”“Their eyes barely move”等,使读者能够快速理解作者的观点。通过生动的描述和具体的例子,如“It is as though they are asleep with their eyes open.”“her eyes are red from weeping”等,唤起读者的情感共鸣,增强了文章的感染力。
4.多次使用条件句
文章中多次使用条件句来表达假设的情况和结果,如“if a student has his head lowered”“If two friends are leaning their heads together”“if a student does not bother to brush her hair”等,这种句式增强了文章的逻辑性和说服力。
◎
总分总结构:文章开头提出问题,中间分段详细阐述不同情绪状态下的肢体语言表现及教师的应对措施,最后总结教师的责任和肢体语言的重要性。主体部分按照学生的情绪状态(兴趣、无聊、情绪问题)进行分类,每一段都有明确的主题句和具体的肢体语言描述,逻辑连贯。

我是如何了解我的学生的?
作为一名教育工作者,人们经常问我,我是怎么知道学生的脑子里在想什么的。许多学生生性腼腆,沉默寡言。同时,班上有四十多名学生,想与每位学生一对一谈话不是那么容易。那么,我是如何搞清楚每个学生为何会这样的呢?
想知道我的答案吗?我观察他们的肢体语言。
学生对一堂课感兴趣时,很容易就可以看出来。大部分学生会抬头看,并且有眼神交流。我开玩笑时,他们露出笑容。我讲到难点时,他们一脸茫然。然而,学生兴趣盎然时,我也看得出来,因为他们会身体前倾,注视着我。人们在对某个事物感兴趣时,往往会身体前倾。所以,如果学生低头看手表,这意味着他感到厌倦,数着时间,只盼早点下课。如果两个好朋友把头靠在一起,那么他们很可能是在互相写纸条。当然,不是所有抬着头的学生都是在认真听课。有些学生虽然抬着头,却没有眼神交流。他们的眼睛几乎不动,脸上表情疏远呆滞,好像在睁着眼睛睡觉。
有些学生(注意力)转向别的东西。整节课他们始终盯着别的东西, 没看我一眼。此外, 有些学生最喜欢的活动就是做白日梦。他们托着下巴, 全神贯注地盯着窗外或天花板。一定是什么东西吸引了他们的注意力, 但是谁也不知道到底是什么。重要的是提醒走神的学生专心听讲。
尽管学生们何时(对讲课)感兴趣、何时感到无聊或精力不集中是容易察觉的, 但要发现学生何时有困扰有时会难得多。愤怒、害怕或焦虑的学生会双臂交叉放在胸前, 双腿并拢或交叉, 像是在保护自己的身体。伤心或忧虑的学生几乎总是皱着眉头。他们也会双手捂脸, 一副尴尬或羞愧的样子。有些学生这副模样, 只是因为他们害怕老师提问。但是, 要是学生都懒得梳头, 并且两眼因哭泣而发红, 那么我能够推断她遇到了更严重的问题。极有可能她与同学或家人发生了很大的冲突。不管是什么, 我知道我必须去探个究竟, 搞明白发生了什么事情。
最后, 我的职责是帮助每一位学生学习。他们的肢体语言让我知道何时调整课堂活动、何时干预、何时与学生单独谈话, 从而让他们在校收获最大。对肢体语言作出反应是教师职责的重要组成部分。

HOW DO I KNOW MY STUDENTS?
As an 1 educator (educate), people often ask me how I know what is going on in the minds of my students.My answer is that I look at their body language.It is easy for me 2 to recognise (recognise) when students are interested in a lesson.People have a 3 tendency (tend) to lean towards whatever they are interested in.So if a student has his head 4 lowered (lower) to look at his watch, it implies he is bored and just counting the minutes for the class to end.Sometimes some students are 5 amused (amuse) by something else.So the main thing is reminding distracted students 6 that they need to pay attention in class.
While 7 it is easy to perceive when students are interested, bored, or distracted, it is sometimes much harder to distinguish when students 8 are troubled (trouble).Ultimately, my duty is helping every student to learn.Their body language lets me know when to adjust class activities, when to intervene, and when to talk to students 9 individually (individual).Reacting to body language is 10 an important component of being a teacher.
Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共10分)
(2025·广东省清远市高二上期中)Baby sign language is a growing movement.Pointing to a colorful flower, Campbell lifts her baby's soft hand, and rapidly moves it from one side of his nose to the other as she sniffs (嗅).“Flower!” she says loudly.Gregory smiles and looks carefully.It could be a year before Gregory, four months old, can speak, but now his mother hopes to communicate with her baby through sign language.
Like others around the world, Campbell is part of a growing movement of parents teaching babies simple signs to communicate before they can talk.The baby sign language has been more popular in recent years.The movie, Meet the Fockers, where the main character teaches his young grandson to sign, makes it well developed.
Babies generally begin to talk between 12 and 15 months, but babies can use sign language to communicate before they learn how to speak.“We know they are learning language faster than they are able to show you with their speech production because that system takes a long time to develop,” says McRoberts, director of developmental research at the Haskins Laboratories.
“They are understanding words before they are able to say them.From around 16 to 18 months, they might say 50 words but understand 200.They understand short sentences well,” says McRoberts.
Studies have shown deaf children learn to use sign language earlier than children learn to speak meaningfully.As to whether babies can communicate earlier with sign language, McRoberts says, “I think that's still unknown.It may not.I'm very interested in that very question.”

Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每小题2.5分,共12.5分)
(2025·浙江绍兴期末)
Body language around the world
It is said that our body language exhibits information about our thoughts and feelings.But the implied meaning of these common signals we use every day can mean something wildly different in another culture.1( ) From them, you can know how to integrate and what to avoid.
Greetings
2( ) Handshakes and hugs are common practices in Western societies in places like the US and UK, but in parts of Europe such as France and Italy, handshakes are a slightly more personal greeting.It's common to linger for longer, which some visitors may find uncomfortable.
Hand and arm gestures
As standard, Italians use their arms and hands to gesture constantly while talking, whereas in Japan, this is considered bad manners.If you're in Belgium or Northern Italy, be sure to avoid brushing your hand underneath your chin when speaking—it is a vivid way to tell someone to go away!3( ) Well, hopefully you haven't visited Greece or Sardinia yet, where it is considered to be as rude as a middle finger signal in the West.
Head and eye movements
In many parts of Eastern Europe, the standard nodding and shaking signifying yes and no respectively are switched, which can, of course, get very confusing.In Japan, staring too long is considered rude, invasive or even an act of aggression.Our special gesture, though, has to be this traditional signal from Xizang, China.If someone is sticking their tongue out at you in the street, all may not be as it seems!4( ) But in Western cultures, it is considered playful, silly or even badmannered.
All in all, body language plays a significant role in communicating with people from other cultures.5( )
A.It can send signals stronger than words.
B.My body utters when I try to hide something.
C.In fact, it's a way of demonstrating respect.
D.In the UK and Australia, the sign means victory.
E.Do you think the thumbsup sign a universal gesture for “great”?
F.Here is an introduction to the most unusual examples across the globe.
G.In various parts of India, it's common to greet one another by touching feet.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界各地的肢体语言文化和差异。
1.解析:选F。根据上文“But the implied meaning of these common signals we use every day can mean something wildly different in another culture.”以及下文“From them, you can know how to integrate and what to avoid.”可知,前文提到日常肢体语言信号在不同文化中有不同含义,后文介绍了世界各地不同身体语言的例子,F项起到承上启下作用,符合语境。故选F。
2.解析:选G。此段主题是“Greetings(问候)”,G项与问候方式相关,同时与下文构成并列关系。符合该段主题。故选G。
3.解析:选E。根据下文“Well, hopefully you haven't visited Greece or Sardinia yet, where it is considered to be as rude as a middle finger signal in the West.”可知,后文提到在希腊或撒丁岛,某个手势被认为和西方竖中指一样粗鲁,且前文介绍了不同手势的含义,E项引出下文关于竖起大拇指手势在不同文化中含义不同的内容,符合语境。故选E。
4.解析:选C。根据上文“Our special gesture, though, has to be this traditional signal from Xizang, China.If someone is sticking their tongue out at you in the street, all may not be as it seems!”可知,前文提到在中国西藏,如果有人在街上向你吐舌头,情况可能并非看上去那样,C项解释了吐舌头这个动作在西藏文化中的真实含义,与后文在西方文化中的含义形成对比。故选C。
5.解析:选A。根据上文“All in all, body language plays a significant role in communicating with people from other cultures.”可知,前文强调身体语言在与其他文化的人交流中起着重要作用,A项进一步强调身体语言的重要性,总结前文。故选A。
Ⅲ.语法填空(每小题1.5分,共15分)
More than 900,000 people in Britain are severely (严重地) deaf, and an unknown number of people 1 (be) dumb (哑的), which means they lack the ability to speak.For these people, a different system of communication 2 requires neither hearing ability 3 speech is available.It is a system based on the use of signs.
Little is known about how British Sign Language (BSL) developed, as it has no 4
(write) form.The first school in Britain to include sign language in its courses is 5 (general) thought to be the “Academy for the Deaf and Dumb” 6 (found) in 1760.The school's owner, Thomas Braidwood, introduced a system of sign language which is believed to have been the basis for BSL.
Since that time, BSL has encountered various setbacks (周折) by comparison with spoken language.For example, during the 19th century, most deaf children learned BSL informally rather than receiving formal education at school for lack of opportunities.Then for much of the 20th century, 7 was increasing opposition to sign language.During this time deaf children were encouraged or forced 8 (understand) others by lip reading, and to “speak” 9 (use) finger spelling.Eventually it was recognised that this approach had been unsuccessful, and that BSL was a more efficient method of communication.In 2003, it 10 (give) the official position of a language.

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每小题2.5分,共10分)
(2025·山东省百师联考高二上期中)When traveling to foreign countries, mastering the art of body language is key for perfect travel experience.As a body language expert, it's easy for me to see how we communicate with those around us without even saying a word.
I especially believe the importance of the universal language of body talk.At most times when traveling abroad, it is the only way that connects every human being, no matter the geographic location.A simple custom or sign of respect is vital to understand before taking flight to your desired destination.
For example, it is customary to simply eat the food that you have before you when we are out at a business lunch.In Asian customs, business lunches are strict.Finishing your plate or eating most of the food you ordered is considered rude in Asian culture.
“Body language teaches us everything about a person,” says Benjamin Wey, a professor at two European universities.“My professional career would be entirely different if it were not for body language and my understanding of it.” Frequently visiting both Europe and the US, Wey has come to understand that internationally, our ability to actively respect cultural customs becomes the currency within business.One key element that Wey has taken away from his travels abroad is “that all people want to be treated with respect.”
So, show your respect—and learn more about the local customs and traditions or the spots on your route.Gather an understanding of what gestures or expressions are considered useful, and avoid those that may be offensive to your new friends.
Though we started with one language in commonbody language, the cultures of the world have evolved (演化).It is important to be able to identify and appreciate these differences; it will make our world smaller as a result.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文,讲述掌握肢体语言艺术是获得完美旅行体验的关键,同时旅行者要尊重当地的风俗习惯。
1.Why does the author think body language is important?
A.It makes different cultures getting more alike.
B.It can effectively show your respect to others.
C.It allows us to connect with people anywhere.
D.It replaces the need for verbal communication.
解析: 选C。细节理解题。第二段叙述,我尤其相信肢体语言的重要性。多数时候在国外旅行时,无论地理位置如何,它是连接每个人的唯一方式。由此可知,作者认为肢体语言重要,因为它让我们在任何地方都能与人交流。
2.What does the passage advise travelers to do to improve their travel experience?
A.Avoid making any gestures at all.
B.Finish the food you order in the plate.
C.Learn to use the local language fluently.
D.Show respect by following local customs.
解析:选D。细节理解题。第二段最后一句表达,在飞往您想去的目的地之前,理解一个简单的习俗或表示尊重的手势至关重要。第三段举例说明;第四段引用 Benjamin Wey教授的表达加以证明;第五段总结说要表现出你的尊重——多了解一些当地的风俗习惯或者旅行中的景点。由此可知,这篇文章建议旅行者遵循当地风俗来表示尊重,以提升他们的旅行体验。
3.What does the underlined word “offensive” mean in Paragraph 5?
A.Rude. B.Similar.
C.Awesome. D.Practical.
解析:选A。词义猜测题。该句表达,了解哪些手势或表情被认为是有用的,同时避免那些可能对你的新朋友 offensive的手势或表情。与 useful相对应, avoid 避免的应是负面词汇。由此推断, offensive 意为“冒犯的;无理的”。
4.What is the best title of the text?
A.Crosscultural Body Language
B.The Traditional Cuisine Culture
C.A Perfect Travel Experience Abroad
D.A Good Way to Learn Foreign Cultures
解析: 选A。主旨大意题。文章首段提出话题,掌握肢体语言的艺术是获得完美旅行体验的关键。下文叙述,旅行者要尊重当地风俗习惯。最后一段总结,虽然我们一开始只有一种共同的语言,肢体语言,但是世界文化已经演变了。重要的是能够识别和理解这些差异;这将使我们的世界变得更小。由此推断“跨文化肢体语言”与文本内容一致,适合作文章标题。

How Body Language Can Help Your Career
Many businessmen often underestimate the importance of nonverbal communication—which is often half the message.1( ) Imagine how much more effective your next meeting with your boss could be if only you give your nonverbal communication a little attention.These four tips can help you avoid that common mistake so you can use your body language to gain an advantage in your career.
Triple Nod to Show You're Engaged
2( ) One way you can do this nonverbally is to use the triple head nod.Three quick, small nods in a row is the nonverbal sign for “tell me more” or “I hear you, explain.” It is a great way to show that you are interested and involved.
Don't Underestimate the Power of the Hands
Our hands speak volumes about who we are.Our brain pays attention to hands more than any other body part because we have evolved to look at them as a safety tool to make sure people won't attack us.Whenever you have meetings, keep your hands above the table.3( )
Stop Using Nervous Behaviors
Learn to stop displaying nervous body language so you don't risk appearing anxious or incompetent.The most common behaviors are: wringing hands, rubbing arms, biting lips.4( ) Ask a friend to tell you if they notice you're displaying any of the above behaviors.Once you know what they are, you can take actions to stop them.
Mirror Other People
Professionals who mirror clients' body language are more successful than those who don't.If you're a fasttalker, slowing down your speech to match the person you're talking to helps put you on the same level.5( ) Copying someone's closed off body language or negative tone will only increase the tension between you.
A.Of course, only follow positive behaviors.
B.Hold your body in a similar way as they do.
C.Show you are interested in the people you speak with.
D.Focus on keeping your body there unless you need to use it.
E.You'll be able to use the crucial tool for delivering messages.
F.Sometimes it can be hard to identify what your signs of anxiety are.
G.Most people plan what they will say, but they ignore their body language.
[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了使用肢体语言的四个技巧,帮助你在职业生涯中获得优势。
1.解析:选G。上文“Many businessmen often underestimate the importance of nonverbal communication—which is often half the message.”讲到商人在说话时往往只注重说什么而忽略了肢体语言,下文“Imagine how much more effective your next meeting with your boss could be if only you give your nonverbal communication a little attention.”建议人们要注意肢体语言,该空应承接上下文指出人们会忽视肢体语言这一事实,G项“大多数人计划好要说什么,但他们忽略了自己的肢体语言。”切合语境。故选G项。
2.解析:选C。由小标题“Triple Nod to Show You're Engaged”和下文“Three quick, small nods in a row is the nonverbal sign for ‘tell me more’ or ‘I hear you, explain.’It is a great way to show that you are interested and involved.”可知,上下文强调要通过肢体语言(本段主讲三次点头)展现出对交流对象的兴趣,C项“表明你对与你交谈的人感兴趣。”切合语境。故选C。
3.解析:选E。由小标题“Don't Underestimate the Power of the Hands”和上文“Our hands speak volumes about who we are.Our brain pays attention to hands more than any other body part because we have evolved to look at them as a safety tool to make sure people won't attack us.Whenever you have meetings, keep your hands above the table.”可知,本段强调手部肢体语言的重要性,空前一句说要在开会时保持双手在桌子之上,推断这一空要说明为什么这样做的重要性,E项“你将能够使用这个关键工具来传递信息。”切合语境。故选E。
4.解析:选F。上文“Learn to stop displaying nervous body language so you don't risk appearing anxious or incompetent.The most common behaviors are: wringing hands, rubbing arms, biting lips.”列举了让你看起来焦虑或无能的紧张的肢体语言,下文“Ask a friend to tell you if they notice you're displaying any of the above behaviors.Once you know what they are, you can take actions to stop them.”讲到要让朋友告诉你你是否有这些紧张情绪表现,且一旦知道这些行为,就可以采取措施去阻止它们,因此该空内容与需要能够识别出这些会让人感到焦虑或无能的行为有关,F项“有时很难识别你表现出哪些焦虑的信号。”切合语境,突出表明自己难以识别,引出下文讲请朋友帮忙识别。故选F。
5.解析:选A。与下文“Copying someone's closed off body language or negative tone will only increase the tension between you.” 形成对比,结合上文“If you're a fasttalker, slowing down your speech to match the person you're talking to helps put you on the same level.”可知,该段旨在说明模仿只应该针对正面的行为,A项“当然,只模仿积极的行为。”切合语境。故选A。
Ⅲ.完形填空(每小题1分,共15分)
(2025·浙江高二上期中)“You've lost 60% of your hearing in your right ear and it's permanent (永久的).” “What?!” I stared at the doctor.So he 1 himself, louder this time.He thought I couldn't 2 him, but I had.I was just in 3 .How had this happened? How am I supposed to live my life with one ear? I burst out 4 .
Right before Thanksgiving 2023, I got what I thought was a 5 head cold.No pain, No cough.It just made my right ear feel as if it was underwater.I told people to “talk to my 6 ear.” I figured it would resolve on its own 7 .
It didn't.One month went by, then two, and I 8 couldn't hear well, but I didn't get it 9 .It wasn't until the end of January, when I went to an ear, nose and throat (ENT) doctor for an unrelated issue, that I thought to 10 it.As soon as I did, the doctor looked at me in alarm and told me to make a(n) 11 for a hearing test the next day.After much testing, I was 12 as having SSHL, a medical term for “I suddenly lost my hearing for no apparent reason.”
A month later, I was fitted with my new hearing 13 .I hadn't realized how much I was 14 with my damaged hearing until the moment it was given back to me.I burst into happy tears.I was so grateful for all the medical 15 and technology that gave me back my hearing.

[语篇解读]本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了肢体语言的作用以及不同国家中不同的肢体语言习惯。
1.解析:which。考查定语从句。句意:肢体语言被人们用来互相传递信息,这可以帮助你使自己更容易被理解。此处为非限制性定语从句修饰上文整个句子,从句中缺少主语,故用关系代词which引导。故填which。
2.解析:understood。考查非谓语动词。句意见上题。此处为make+宾语+宾补结构,yourself与understand之间构成被动关系,故用过去分词作宾补。故填understood。
3.解析:tendency。考查名词。句意:当你和别人交谈时,你有使用手势的倾向。根据空前have a可知,空处需填名词单数作宾语,tendency作名词,表示“倾向”,符合句意。故填tendency。
4.解析:is。考查主谓一致。句意:例如,挥手是说“再见”。空处作谓语动词,陈述客观事实用一般现在时,主语为动名词短语,谓语用单数。故填is。
5.解析:Apparently。考查副词。句意:显然不同的国家使用不同的肢体语言。空处需填副词作状语,修饰整个句子,位于句首,首字母大写。故填 Apparently。
6.解析:a。考查冠词。句意:阿拉伯国家的人在交谈时喜欢彼此站得很近,而英国人在交谈时必须保持距离。结合句意表示“保持距离”可知短语为keep a distance。故填a。
7.解析:to know。考查非谓语动词。句意:当你使用一门外语时,了解这个国家的肢体语言是非常重要的。此处为句型it+be+adj.+to do sth,不定式作真正主语,it为形式主语。故填to know。
8.解析:Following。考查非谓语动词。句意:遵守习俗将有助于你与人交流,使你住得更愉快更舒适。作句子的主语,follow应用动名词形式,句首单词首字母要大写。故填Following。
9.解析:with。考查介词。句意见上题。communicate with sb表示“和某人交流”。故填with。
10.解析:comfortable。考查形容词$
