You won’t leave a good impression on anyone by hurting them. 2 As you shake the person’s hand, make eye contact with him to show you’re sure of yourself and interested in meeting him. Keep eye contact By keeping eye contact with the person you’re talking to, you’re letting him or her know that you re paying attention to what he or she is saying. Whenever there is a natural break in the conversation, feel free to have a look at something else. 3 Keep your hands still 4 Try to keep your hands still, avoid touching your hair or adjusting with your clothes, which shows you are afraid or not confident. Spread your feet wider Standing with your feet close together or crossed can show that you are so nervous. 5 It can tell everyone around you that you feel sure of yourself. A. So your handshake should not be too hard. B. Eye contact is good, but looking at others all the time can be impolite! C. Instead, it’s better to stand with your feet apart in a “power pose”. D. You can show your confidence through body language. E. When people are nervous, they will move their hands. F. Shaking hands can show your confidence, respect, and love. 重点词汇梳理 conversation /ˌkɒnvəˈseɪʃn/ n. 谈话 still /stɪl/ adj. 静止的 spread /spred/ v. 展开，伸开 apart /əˈpɑːt/ adv. 分开，分离 长难句解析 原句1：（第三段第二句） You won’t leave a good impression on anyone by hurting them. 译文：（用力过猛）伤害他们也不会给任何人留下好印象。 分析：本主干为 You won’t leave a good impression on anyone，“by hurting them” 是介词短语作方式状语，说明 “不会留下好印象” 的原因。 原句2：（第三段第四句）As you shake the person’s hand, make eye contact with him to show you’re sure of yourself and interested in meeting him. 译文：当你和对方握手时，要和他进行眼神交流，以此展现你的自信，以及对这次见面的兴趣。 分析：本句是一个复合句，主干为祈使句 make eye contact with him。“As you shake the person’s hand” 是时间状语从句，说明动作发生的场景。“to show you’re sure of yourself and interested in meeting him” 是不定式短语作目的状语，解释眼神交流的目的。该目的状语中还包含一个宾语从句 you’re sure of yourself and interested in meeting him，由 and 连接两个并列的表语，分别说明自信和对见面的兴趣。 译文 当你第一次和别人见面时，怎样才能留下好印象？你可以通过肢体语言展现自信。 自信地握手 无力的握手会让你看起来一点都不自信。用力过猛也不会给任何人留下好印象。所以握手的力度不宜过大。和对方握手时，要和他进行眼神交流，以此展现你的自信，以及对这次见面的兴趣。 保持眼神交流 和交谈的人保持眼神交流，是在让对方知道你正专注于他 / 她所说的内容。当对话出现自然的停顿间隙时，你可以随意看看别的地方。眼神交流是好的，但一直盯着别人看可能会显得不礼貌！ 保持手部静止 当人们紧张时，他们的手会不自觉地动起来。尽量让你的手保持静止，避免摸头发或整理衣物，这些动作会透露出你的紧张或不自信。 双脚分开站立 双脚并拢或交叉站立会显得你非常紧张。相反，双脚分开、摆出 “力量姿势” 站立会更好。这种姿势会让周围所有人都感受到你的自信。 Passage B（礼貌且有效的沟通技巧） Learning how to ask for information politely is a very important social skill, especially when you are in a foreign country. While direct questions are clear, they can sometimes sound too strong or even rude in English. The secret to being polite is often to use longer and softer ways of speaking. For example, instead of asking “Where is the bank?”, a native speaker might say, “Excuse me, could you tell me where the bank is?” or “I was wondering if you know how to get to the bank.” These ways of asking sound more gentle and show that you respect the other person’s time and help. However, being polite is not always the same in every situation; it changes depending on the context. In a busy place, like a crowded train station, a clear and quick question like “Which platform for the express train?” might be perfectly okay. Also, when you are with close friends, simple and direct language is normal. The difficult part for English learners is to understand this difference. It’s like the difference between giving an order and making a request. Even adding a simple “Excuse me” before a direct question can make it sound much better. What’s more, good communication is not only about the words you choose. Your body language is also very important. Looking at the person kindly, speaking in a friendly voice, and smiling can make your polite question feel truly honest. On the other hand, if you use an unfriendly tone, or if you are looking at your phone instead of the person, even the most correct polite question will not work well. Your body language should show the same respect as your words. In the end, to really master polite communication, you need to do more than just remember sentences from a book. You should watch carefully how native speakers talk in different real-life situations—like when they ask for something in a shop or at a hotel. It is all about learning to be a careful and smart communicator wherever you are. 1. According to the passage, in which situation might a direct question be MOST acceptable? A. When interviewing for a job in a foreign company. B. When asking a stranger for directions in a quiet park. C. When you need to find your train platform quickly in a busy station. 2. What does the writer say about body language? A. It is more important than polite words. B. It should match the respect shown in your words. C. It is hard to control for language learners. 3. To master polite communication, what does the writer suggest doing? A. Remembering sentences from a book. B. Watching how native speakers talk in different situations. C. Focusing only on using correct grammar. 4. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To explain why English grammar is difficult for learners. B. To encourage readers to use body language instead of speaking. C. To discuss the skills needed for polite and effective communication. 重点词汇梳理 social /ˈsəʊʃl/ adj. 社会的，社交的 especially /ɪˈspeʃəli/ adv. 尤其，特别 direct /dəˈrekt/ adj. 直接的 rude /ruːd/ adj. 粗鲁的 normal /ˈnɔːml/ adj. 正常的，一般的 native /ˈneɪtɪv/ adj. 本地的，当地的 长难句解析 原句1：（第一段第二句） While direct questions are clear, they can sometimes sound too strong or even rude in English. 译文：虽然直接的问题表达清晰，但在英语中有时会显得过于生硬，甚至粗鲁。 分析：这是一个主从复合句，While direct questions are clear 是让步状语从句，引导词 while 表示 “虽然”，与主句形成转折逻辑。主句主干为 they can sometimes sound too strong or even rude，其中 they 指代前文的 direct questions，sound 是系动词，后接并列的形容词短语 too strong 和 even rude 作表语。 原句2：（第四段第一句）In the end, to really master polite communication, you need to do more than just remember sentences from a book. 译文：最后，要真正掌握礼貌沟通，你不能只靠记住书本上的句子。 分析：句子主干为 you need to do more than just remember sentences。to really master polite communication 是不定式短语作目的状语，说明动作的目的。more than just remember 是固定结构，意为 “不只是记住”，强调需要采取更多行动。 译文 学会礼貌地询问信息是一项非常重要的社交技能，尤其是在国外时。虽然直接的问题表达清晰，但在英语中有时会显得过于生硬，甚至粗鲁。礼貌的关键往往在于使用更长、更委婉的表达方式。例如，母语者不会直接问 “银行在哪里？”，而可能会说 “打扰一下，您能告诉我银行在哪里吗？”或者 “我想知道您是否知道怎么去银行。”这类问法听起来更温和，也体现出你尊重对方的时间与意愿。 然而，礼貌的方式并非在所有场景中都一成不变，它会根据具体情境而变化。在繁忙的场所，比如拥挤的火车站，像 “快车在哪个站台？” 这样简洁直接的问题就完全可以。同样，和亲密的朋友相处时，简单直接的表达也很正常。对英语学习者来说，难点就在于理解这种差异 —— 这有点像 “下命令” 和 “提请求” 的区别。哪怕只是在直接提问前加上一句简单的 “打扰一下”，也能让表达听起来更得体。 此外，良好的沟通不仅关乎你选择的措辞，肢体语言也同样重要。友善地注视对方、用温和的语气说话、面带微笑，能让你的礼貌提问显得更真诚。反之，如果你语气不友好，或者只顾着看手机而不看对方，就算是最标准的礼貌提问也会大打折扣。你的肢体语言应该和话语一样，传递出尊重的态度。 最后，要真正掌握礼貌沟通，你不能只靠记住书本上的句子。你需要仔细观察母语者在不同真实场景中的交流方式 —— 比如他们在商店或酒店里如何提出请求。无论身处何地，学会做一个细心且灵活的沟通者，才是关键。 话题写作佳句积累 1. Body language can often say more than words. 肢体语言往往比话语更有说服力。 2. A warm smile can make strangers feel welcome. 一个温暖的微笑能让陌生人感到亲切。 3. Eye contact shows that you are listening carefully. 眼神交流表明你在认真倾听。 4. Standing up straight can make you look more confident. 挺直站立会让你看起来更自信。 5. A firm handshake helps build trust with others. 有力的握手有助于和他人建立信任。 6. Nodding your head gently shows you understand what others say. 轻轻点头表示你理解别人的话。 7. Crossing your arms may make you seem unfriendly. 抱臂的动作可能会让你显得不友善。 8. Smiling is a universal body language that everyone can understand. 微笑是一种人人都能理解的通用肢体语言。 9. Looking at your phone while talking is rude to the speaker. 说话时看手机对说话的人来说是不礼貌的。 10. Your posture tells others how you feel before you speak. 在你开口之前，你的姿态就已经告诉别人你的感受了。 11. A gentle pat on the shoulder can show you care about someone. 轻轻拍一拍肩膀可以表达你对别人的关心。 12. Keeping your hands still shows that you are calm and sure of yourself. 保持手部不动说明你沉着且自信。 13. Facial expressions are like a window to your true feelings. 面部表情就像一扇窗户，能透露出你真实的情绪。 14. Open body language, like uncrossed arms, makes people feel comfortable talking to you. 开放的肢体语言（比如不抱臂）会让人们更愿意和你交流。 15. Using body language well can make your communication more effective. 善用肢体语言能让你的沟通更有效果。 实战演练 Passage 1 Sign language is the main way deaf people communicate. Since they can’t hear, it’s not easy for them to talk with others. Luckily, sign language interpreters (传译员) are there to help. Hao Shuxin, 24, sees sign language as her mother language, as her parents are deaf. “I picked up sign language before I could even talk,” she recalled. In 2018, she became a sign language interpreter at a law company in Chongqing. Her work takes her to different places where she interprets for deaf people. Since sign language has fewer words, Hao often meets difficult terms that have no direct match. In such situations, she carefully interprets for deaf people. There are also grammatical differences between Chinese and sign language. Hao feels stressed at work because accuracy (准确性) is important in interpretations for law companies. Her stress also comes from the fact that sign language has “dialects (方言)”. The same word can be expressed with different hand gestures (手势) depending on where a deaf person comes from. Having traveled to over 30 cities in China because of the job, she has learned about the special ways deaf people across the country use sign language. In her spare time, Hao reads many law books and talks with professional lawyers to improve her ability. “My parents are deaf, so I understand the difficulties that deaf people face. I want to do everything I can to help them,” Hao said. 1. What does Hao do when she is free? A. She teaches her parents to talk. B. She learns to improve herself. C. She travels to different countries. D. She helps other lawyers. 2. What does the underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Hao’s parents. B. Deaf people. C. The lawyers. D. Hao’s children. 3. What can we know about sign language according to the passage? A. It is easy to learn. B. It has more words than Chinese. C. It is different in different places. D. The grammar of it is the same as Chinese. 4. Put the following information into the correct order according to the passage. a. Her parents are deaf.        b. She got a job in a law company. c. She learned sign language.        d. She visited more than 30 cities. A. a-b-c-d B. d-b-c-a C. a-c-b-d D. c-a-b-d 5. What is Hao like according to the passage? A. Hard-working and kind. B. Quiet and caring. C. Helpful but noisy. D. Lonely and shy. Passage 2 Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing (令人迷惑的). A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experience. They thought that miscommunications (错误传达) were always possible, even over something as simple as “yes” and “no”. On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, it was hot, and Lisa went into a store and asked, “Do you have cold drinks?” The woman there didn’t say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which in Micronesia means “yes”. Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant. It was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, “Do you have cabbage today?” He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means “no”. Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean “yes” or “no”. 1. These Americans in the passage found that they ________. A. should go abroad for vacations B. needed to learn foreign languages C. should often discuss their experiences D. had problems with communication 2. People in Micronesia show “yes” by ________. A. nodding heads B. raising eyebrows C. shaking heads D. saying “no” 3. Tom misunderstood (误解) his class at first because ________. A. he didn’t know much about Indian culture B. he didn’t explain everything clearly enough C. some students didn’t speak English D. he didn’t know where the students came from 4. Which of the following is TRUE? A. In Bulgaria, nodding heads means “no”. B. Jan taught English on a Pacific island. C. Lisa was trying to buy some cabbage. D. In India, only shaking heads means “yes”. 5. The passage is mainly about ________. A. body language in foreign restaurants B. class discussion in Indian schools C. miscommunications in different cultures D. English teaching in other countries Passage 3 Eric, a French exchange student, went to a middle school in Shanghai to learn about Chinese culture and make new friends. One cool autumn morning, Eric met his new roommate, Wei Ning, a Chinese student. Excited to make a good first impression (印象), Eric held out his arms to give Wei a warm hug, a common greeting (问候) back in France. However, Wei walked back, looking surprised and uncomfortable. Eric didn’t know the cultural difference and felt quite confused (困惑的). Luckily, Eric’s classmate, Fu Xing, saw everything that happened. He told Eric that in China, hugs are usually for good friends or family. Later that day, in the lunchroom, Eric saw his teacher, Miss Gao, far away and he naturally waved his hand up and down with his palm (手掌) facing up, as he did at home. But Miss Gao looked surprised and then just smiled. When Eric felt confused again, Miss Gao walked towards him. She then told Eric that in China, waving with one’s palm facing up is a way to call someone of lower social standing and that to greet someone politely, a handshake or a polite bow is much better. To make up for his mistakes, Eric planned a small party in his room. He invited Wei Ning, Fu Xing, Miss Gao and many other classmates. They talked, laughed, and enjoyed delicious food while learning about each other’s customs (习俗). Many people liked Eric’s kind act and became good friends with him, including Wei Ning and Miss Gao. Through this experience, Eric learned about Chinese ways of using body language and being polite. His roommates and classmates learned that being patient and open-minded is important when people have different customs. They all became closer, showing that friendship and understanding can bring people together. 1. What did Eric do to greet Wei Ning when they first met? A. He waved his hand. B. He tried to hug Wei Ning. C. He shook hands with Wei Ning. 2. What did Miss Gao do after seeing Eric’s greeting? A. She felt very angry. B. She smiled and left quietly. C. She explained the proper greeting in China. 3. What does the underlined word “mistakes” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Improper use of body language. B. Secret research in the lunchroom. C. Impolite words for Wei Ning’s acts. 4. What happened after Eric held a small party? A. He made a new mistake. B. He made many good friends. C. He fell in love with Chinese food. 5. What can we learn from Eric’s experience? A. Seeing is believing. B. Be happy with what we have. C. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. . Passage 4 （24-25八年级下深圳期中考）When we learn a new language, 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, “Yes!” As the old saying goes, “Actions speak louder than words.” Sometimes, we can communicate even without a single word. For example, shrug (耸肩) our shoulders, and, without a word, we’ve just said, “I don’t know.” Body language can help us pay attention to 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. People who are lying often turn away or raise their shoulders because they are uncomfortable with the conversation. In job interviews, the interviewers can sometimes judge (判断) the interviewee before he or she speaks. Body language is important in our personal lives, too. It can show if you really care about your friends. Leaning forward into 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 waiting for your turn to speak. Scientists have studied body language for a long time. They say more than 70 percent of our messages are sent through body language. Sometimes, body language is more exact than the words we say. So it is very important for us to learn body language. By understanding body language, we are less likely to misunderstand and be misunderstood. We will find it easier to get a job. We will also have lasting friendships. 1. According to the passage, what DON’T people do when learning a new language? A. Studying grammar. B. Practising using body language. C. Improving reading skills. D. Learning new words. 2. According to the second paragraph, which of the following means “I don’t know.”? A. Put up hands. B. Lean forward. C. Turn away D. Shrug shoulders. 3. According to the passage, body language can help us______. a. get a job        b. lie without anyone knowing c. reduce misunderstandings        d. keep friendships A. acd B. bcd C. abd D. abc 4. What’s the passage mainly about? A. The importance of body language. B. How to find out if someone is lying. C. The ways to learn body language. D. How to improve our English. 5. How can we divide the passage? A. ①/②③④⑤ B. ①②③④/⑤ C. ①②/③④/⑤ D. ①/②③/④⑤ Passage 5 （23-24八年级下深圳期中考) People use different ways to communicate.

While direct questions are clear, they can sometimes sound too strong or even rude in English. The secret to being polite is often to use longer and softer ways of speaking. For example, instead of asking “Where is the bank?”, a native speaker might say, “Excuse me, could you tell me where the bank is?” or “I was wondering if you know how to get to the bank.” These ways of asking sound more gentle and show that you respect the other person’s time and help. However, being polite is not always the same in every situation; it changes depending on the context. In a busy place, like a crowded train station, a clear and quick question like “Which platform for the express train?” might be perfectly okay. Also, when you are with close friends, simple and direct language is normal. The difficult part for English learners is to understand this difference. It’s like the difference between giving an order and making a request. Even adding a simple “Excuse me” before a direct question can make it sound much better. What’s more, good communication is not only about the words you choose. Your body language is also very important. Looking at the person kindly, speaking in a friendly voice, and smiling can make your polite question feel truly honest. On the other hand, if you use an unfriendly tone, or if you are looking at your phone instead of the person, even the most correct polite question will not work well. Your body language should show the same respect as your words. In the end, to really master polite communication, you need to do more than just remember sentences from a book. You should watch carefully how native speakers talk in different real-life situations—like when they ask for something in a shop or at a hotel. It is all about learning to be a careful and smart communicator wherever you are. 1. According to the passage, in which situation might a direct question be MOST acceptable? A. When interviewing for a job in a foreign company. B. When asking a stranger for directions in a quiet park. C. When you need to find your train platform quickly in a busy station. 2. What does the writer say about body language? A. It is more important than polite words. B. It should match the respect shown in your words. C. It is hard to control for language learners. 3. To master polite communication, what does the writer suggest doing? A. Remembering sentences from a book. B. Watching how native speakers talk in different situations. C. Focusing only on using correct grammar. 4. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? A. To explain why English grammar is difficult for learners. B. To encourage readers to use body language instead of speaking. C. To discuss the skills needed for polite and effective communication. 【参考答案】1. C 2. B 3. B 4. C 【导语】本文主要介绍了提高礼貌且有效的沟通技巧。 1. 细节理解题。根据第二段“In a busy place, like a crowded train station, a clear and quick question like ‘Which platform for the express train?’ might be perfectly okay.”可知，在嘈杂拥挤的火车站，直接提问“特快列车在哪个站台”通常是可接受的。故选C。 2. 细节理解题。根据第三段“Your body language should show the same respect as your words.”可知，肢体语言要与礼貌用语相配合，即“与你的语言中所表达的尊重一致”。故选B。 3. 细节理解题。根据第四段“In the end, to really master polite communication, you need to do more than just remember sentences from a book. You should watch carefully how native speakers talk in different real-life situations...”可知，作者建议多观察母语人士在不同场合中的真实交流方式，而不是只背书上的例句。故选B。 4. 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，全文围绕“礼貌询问信息的技巧”展开，涵盖“用委婉表达”、“依场景调整方式”、“重视肢体语言”、“观察母语者实践” 等核心内容。故作者写这篇文章是为了讨论礼貌和有效沟通所需的技能。故选C。 重点词汇梳理 social /ˈsəʊʃl/ adj. 社会的，社交的 especially /ɪˈspeʃəli/ adv. 尤其，特别 direct /dəˈrekt/ adj. 直接的 rude /ruːd/ adj. 粗鲁的 normal /ˈnɔːml/ adj. 正常的，一般的 native /ˈneɪtɪv/ adj. 本地的，当地的 长难句解析 原句1：（第一段第二句） While direct questions are clear, they can sometimes sound too strong or even rude in English. 译文：虽然直接的问题表达清晰，但在英语中有时会显得过于生硬，甚至粗鲁。 分析：这是一个主从复合句，While direct questions are clear 是让步状语从句，引导词 while 表示 “虽然”，与主句形成转折逻辑。主句主干为 they can sometimes sound too strong or even rude，其中 they 指代前文的 direct questions，sound 是系动词，后接并列的形容词短语 too strong 和 even rude 作表语。 原句2：（第四段第一句）In the end, to really master polite communication, you need to do more than just remember sentences from a book. 译文：最后，要真正掌握礼貌沟通，你不能只靠记住书本上的句子。 分析：句子主干为 you need to do more than just remember sentences。to really master polite communication 是不定式短语作目的状语，说明动作的目的。more than just remember 是固定结构，意为 “不只是记住”，强调需要采取更多行动。 译文 学会礼貌地询问信息是一项非常重要的社交技能，尤其是在国外时。虽然直接的问题表达清晰，但在英语中有时会显得过于生硬，甚至粗鲁。礼貌的关键往往在于使用更长、更委婉的表达方式。例如，母语者不会直接问 “银行在哪里？”，而可能会说 “打扰一下，您能告诉我银行在哪里吗？”或者 “我想知道您是否知道怎么去银行。”这类问法听起来更温和，也体现出你尊重对方的时间与意愿。 然而，礼貌的方式并非在所有场景中都一成不变，它会根据具体情境而变化。在繁忙的场所，比如拥挤的火车站，像 “快车在哪个站台？” 这样简洁直接的问题就完全可以。同样，和亲密的朋友相处时，简单直接的表达也很正常。对英语学习者来说，难点就在于理解这种差异 —— 这有点像 “下命令” 和 “提请求” 的区别。哪怕只是在直接提问前加上一句简单的 “打扰一下”，也能让表达听起来更得体。 此外，良好的沟通不仅关乎你选择的措辞，肢体语言也同样重要。友善地注视对方、用温和的语气说话、面带微笑，能让你的礼貌提问显得更真诚。反之，如果你语气不友好，或者只顾着看手机而不看对方，就算是最标准的礼貌提问也会大打折扣。你的肢体语言应该和话语一样，传递出尊重的态度。 最后，要真正掌握礼貌沟通，你不能只靠记住书本上的句子。你需要仔细观察母语者在不同真实场景中的交流方式 —— 比如他们在商店或酒店里如何提出请求。无论身处何地，学会做一个细心且灵活的沟通者，才是关键。 话题写作佳句积累 1.

Using body language well can make your communication more effective. 善用肢体语言能让你的沟通更有效果。 实战演练 Passage 1 Sign language is the main way deaf people communicate. Since they can’t hear, it’s not easy for them to talk with others. Luckily, sign language interpreters (传译员) are there to help. Hao Shuxin, 24, sees sign language as her mother language, as her parents are deaf. “I picked up sign language before I could even talk,” she recalled. In 2018, she became a sign language interpreter at a law company in Chongqing. Her work takes her to different places where she interprets for deaf people. Since sign language has fewer words, Hao often meets difficult terms that have no direct match. In such situations, she carefully interprets for deaf people. There are also grammatical differences between Chinese and sign language. Hao feels stressed at work because accuracy (准确性) is important in interpretations for law companies. Her stress also comes from the fact that sign language has “dialects (方言)”. The same word can be expressed with different hand gestures (手势) depending on where a deaf person comes from. Having traveled to over 30 cities in China because of the job, she has learned about the special ways deaf people across the country use sign language. In her spare time, Hao reads many law books and talks with professional lawyers to improve her ability. “My parents are deaf, so I understand the difficulties that deaf people face. I want to do everything I can to help them,” Hao said. 1. What does Hao do when she is free? A. She teaches her parents to talk. B. She learns to improve herself. C. She travels to different countries. D. She helps other lawyers. 2. What does the underlined word “them” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Hao’s parents. B. Deaf people. C. The lawyers. D. Hao’s children. 3. What can we know about sign language according to the passage? A. It is easy to learn. B. It has more words than Chinese. C. It is different in different places. D. The grammar of it is the same as Chinese. 4. Put the following information into the correct order according to the passage. a. Her parents are deaf.        b. She got a job in a law company. c. She learned sign language.        d. She visited more than 30 cities. A. a-b-c-d B. d-b-c-a C. a-c-b-d D. c-a-b-d 5. What is Hao like according to the passage? A. Hard-working and kind. B. Quiet and caring. C. Helpful but noisy. D. Lonely and shy. 【参考答案】1. B 2. B 3. C 4. C 5. A 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了手语翻译员郝淑欣的工作经历及其对手语的理解与热爱。 1. 细节理解题。根据“In her spare time, Hao reads many law books and talks with professional lawyers to improve her ability.”可知，她通过学习和交流提升自我。故选B。 2. 词句猜测题。根据“My parents are deaf, so I understand the difficulties that deaf people face. I want to do everything I can to help them”可知，我的父母是聋人，所以我理解聋人面临的困难。我想尽我所能帮助他们，“them”指代前文提到的“deaf people”。故选B。 3. 细节理解题。根据“sign language has ‘dialects’. The same word can be expressed with different hand gestures depending on where a deaf person comes from”可知，手语在不同地区存在差异。故选C。 4. 细节理解题。根据“…as her parents are deaf”，“I picked up sign language before I could even talk”，“In 2018, she became a sign language interpreter at a law company in Chongqing.”以及“Having traveled to over 30 cities in China because of the job, she has learned about the special ways deaf people across the country use sign language.”可知，正确顺序是：父母是聋人→ 学会手语→ 在律师事务所工作→ 因工作走访30多个城市。故选C。 5. 推理判断题。根据郝淑欣努力提升专业能力（阅读法律书籍）、理解聋人困难并尽力帮助（最后一段）可推知，她勤奋且善良。故选A。 Passage 2 Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing (令人迷惑的). A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experience. They thought that miscommunications (错误传达) were always possible, even over something as simple as “yes” and “no”. On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, it was hot, and Lisa went into a store and asked, “Do you have cold drinks?” The woman there didn’t say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which in Micronesia means “yes”. Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant. It was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, “Do you have cabbage today?” He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means “no”. Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean “yes” or “no”. 1.

One cool autumn morning, Eric met his new roommate, Wei Ning, a Chinese student. Excited to make a good first impression (印象), Eric held out his arms to give Wei a warm hug, a common greeting (问候) back in France. However, Wei walked back, looking surprised and uncomfortable. Eric didn’t know the cultural difference and felt quite confused (困惑的). Luckily, Eric’s classmate, Fu Xing, saw everything that happened. He told Eric that in China, hugs are usually for good friends or family. Later that day, in the lunchroom, Eric saw his teacher, Miss Gao, far away and he naturally waved his hand up and down with his palm (手掌) facing up, as he did at home. But Miss Gao looked surprised and then just smiled. When Eric felt confused again, Miss Gao walked towards him. She then told Eric that in China, waving with one’s palm facing up is a way to call someone of lower social standing and that to greet someone politely, a handshake or a polite bow is much better. To make up for his mistakes, Eric planned a small party in his room. He invited Wei Ning, Fu Xing, Miss Gao and many other classmates. They talked, laughed, and enjoyed delicious food while learning about each other’s customs (习俗). Many people liked Eric’s kind act and became good friends with him, including Wei Ning and Miss Gao. Through this experience, Eric learned about Chinese ways of using body language and being polite.

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, “Yes!” As the old saying goes, “Actions speak louder than words.” Sometimes, we can communicate even without a single word. For example, shrug (耸肩) our shoulders, and, without a word, we’ve just said, “I don’t know.” Body language can help us pay attention to 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. People who are lying often turn away or raise their shoulders because they are uncomfortable with the conversation. In job interviews, the interviewers can sometimes judge (判断) the interviewee before he or she speaks. Body language is important in our personal lives, too. It can show if you really care about your friends. Leaning forward into 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 waiting for your turn to speak. Scientists have studied body language for a long time. They say more than 70 percent of our messages are sent through body language. Sometimes, body language is more exact than the words we say. So it is very important for us to learn body language. By understanding body language, we are less likely to misunderstand and be misunderstood. We will find it easier to get a job. We will also have lasting friendships. 1. According to the passage, what DON’T people do when learning a new language? A. Studying grammar. B. Practising using body language. C. Improving reading skills. D. Learning new words. 2.
