Unit 4　Body Language单元提升强化练 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2025四川高二上期中) Sign language is the main way deaf people communicate.Since they can’t hear,talking to people can be tough.Fortunately,sign language interpreters step in to bridge this gap. Hao Shuxin,24,sees sign language as her first language,as her parents are deaf.“I pick up sign language before I could even talk,” she recalled.From a young age,Hao has been helping her parents and other deaf individuals communicate.In 2018,she became a sign language interpreter at a law company in Chongqing,assisting deaf clients in legal matters. Since sign language has a smaller vocabulary,Hao often encounters complex legal terms that have no direct match.In such cases,she patiently breaks down the meaning for deaf people.There are also grammatical differences between Chinese and sign language.“For example,the phrase ‘put out a fire’ is signed as ‘a fire put out’ in sign language,as deaf people describe what they see first,” Hao explained. Besides hand gestures,facial expressions and mouth movements are essential components of sign language.They work together to accurately communicate messages and prevent misunderstandings.To ensure clarity in legal interpretations,Hao sometimes repeats a sentence two or three times for deaf individuals.“I feel stressed at work because I worry about being misunderstood,” she admitted. Part of Hao’s anxiety comes from the fact that sign language has regional “dialects”.The same word can be expressed with different hand gestures depending on where a deaf person is from.“For example,people in Inner Mongolia and Chongqing use different gestures for the word ‘true’,” Hao explained.She believes that patience and compassion(同情) are essential to her work.“My parents are deaf,so I understand the challenges faced by the deaf community.I want to do everything I can to help them,” Hao said. 1.What can be learned about Hao Shuxin? A.She wants to learn more sign language dialects. B.She hopes to be a successful lawyer in Chongqing. C.She learned sign language when she was very small. D.She communicates with others mainly by sign language. 2.What can we infer from the third paragraph? A.The vocabulary of sign language is very large. B.Sign language and Chinese have many similarities. C.It is not easy to express legal terms in sign language. D.It is hard for deaf people to understand sign language. 3.What does the underlined word “clarity” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A.Clearness. B.Awareness. C.Kindness. D.Gentleness. 4.What does the text mainly talk about? A.Sign language is the first language of the deaf. B.A sign language interpreter guards the silent world. C.Sign language plays an important role in the legal field. D.A sign language interpreter significantly changes other people’s life. B (2025新疆阿勒泰高二上阶段练习) Body language is a fascinating aspect of human communication that often speaks louder than words.It is a silent form of expression that conveys our thoughts,emotions,and intentions.I have always been amazed by the way our bodies can communicate without uttering a single word. One vivid memory that comes to mind is a job interview I had a few years ago.As I sat across from the interviewer,I could feel my body tensing up.I crossed my arms and leaned back in my chair,unconsciously acting as a defensive barrier.The interviewer picked up on my closed-off posture and became more reserved in his questioning.It was clear that my body language was sending a message of discomfort and lack of confidence. Reflecting on that experience,I realized the importance of using open and confident body language in professional settings.Subtle(微妙的) changes in posture,facial expressions,and gestures can significantly impact the impression we make on others.From that day forward,I made a conscious effort to project confidence and approach ability(平易近人) through my body language. Another instance where body language played a crucial role was during a family gathering.As we sat around the dinner table,I noticed my younger sister slumping and avoiding eye contact with anyone.Her body language indicated that she was feeling upset or anxious.Without saying a word,I reached out and gently touched her hand,offering a silent gesture of support.She looked at me with gratitude,and we shared a moment of the understanding and connection. Body language is important not only in interpersonal relationships but also in public speaking.I remember watching a TED talk by a renowned speaker who captivated the audience with his confident stance,expressive gestures,and engaging eye contact.His body language promoted the impact of his words,making the talk more memorable and powerful. In conclusion,body language is a powerful tool that can convey emotions,attitudes,and intentions without the need for verbal communication.It is essential to be aware of our own body language and its impact on others.By mastering the art of body language,we can promote our communication skills and create stronger connections with those around us. 5.What is the author’s main purpose in sharing the job interview experience? A.To emphasize the significance of facial expressions in communication. B.To describe a personal experience of discomfort and lack of confidence. C.To demonstrate the impact of body language on interpersonal relationships. D.To highlight the importance of non-verbal communication in professional settings. 6.How did the author support their younger sister during the family gathering? A.By giving her advice. B.By offering a silent gesture of support. C.By avoiding eye contact with her. D.By slumping in their chair. 7.What does the underlined word “captivated” in paragraph 5 most likely mean? A.Criticized. B.Fascinated. C.Distracted. D.Confused. 8.Why is it important to be conscious of our own body language? A.It can promote our public speaking skills and captivate the audience. B.It can help us understand and interpret the body language of each other. C.It can create stronger connections and improve interpersonal relationships. D.It can prevent us from making any non-verbal communication mistakes. C (2025山西阳泉高二上期中) People often use body language to decode(解读) lying.People may say one thing and be signaling another,so body language is a useful way to find out the truth.One of the ways to show someone is lying is blinking:The idea is that blinking faster indicates a potential lie. So,is the blink rate a reliable indicator of how likely the person is to be telling the truth?What does the research show? Researchers studied competitors on a TV quiz show in 2023.The research demonstrates beautifully the danger in identifying specific physical responses as “tells” of a particular thought or intention.First of all,people do blink faster under stress.But that simply indicates a stress response,not a declaration(声明) of the intention behind the stress.Moreover,it turns out that blinking also slows when you are thinking hard and can speed up when you are signaling that you are hearing a question or getting ready to give an answer. In this way,blinking is like so many other individual bits of body language:It is multi-determined.We may cross our arms because we’re defensive or because we’re tired,cold,or ready to quit. But in more familiar relationships in the workplace or beyond,most humans are reasonably good at reading the signals of people whom they know well-long-time colleagues,friends,family,especially when they are moved by a strong emotion.For example,when your husband runs into the house excited about a raise,you can pick up that something good is going on.That’s because you know how that person normally acts,and thus spotting a change from the norm is relatively easy and reliable. Rather than trying to make a list of tells,seek to understand people in your world by paying attention to both what they say and how they say it.Over time,you can become a reliable reader of the body language of the people you live and work with. 9.What is the purpose of the research? A.To illustrate why people see body language as “tells”. B.To present the relation between blinking and telling lies. C.To figure out under what circumstances people blink faster. D.To prove whether a certain physical response can clearly indicate someone’s intention. 10.What does the underlined word in paragraph 4 mean? A.Hard to predict. B.Difficult to make sense. C.Caused by many reasons. D.Easy to be influenced by surroundings. 11.What does the example in the last but one paragraph show? A.People tend to be moved by their family. B.Body language can be interpreted easily in close relations. C.Reading body language doesn’t work in unfamiliar relationships. D.Emotional change is the foundation of understanding body language. 12.What would be the best title for the text? A.How to Read Body Language Reliably B.How to Tell a Lie Through Body Language C.The Misunderstanding on Mastering Body Language D.Why Cannot Body Language Reflect a Person’s Real Intention? Ⅱ.七选五 Body language can reflect our confidence level.　1　 and another way when we’re nervous.At a glance,most people can tell if we’re confident or not.So we should learn some tips to show confidence through body language so that we always appear confident and ready.  　2　  The first tip to show confidence with body language is to keep your hands out of your pockets.We often put our hands in our pockets when we’re unsure of ourselves.And that’s how other people will view us. Keep your eyes forward 　3　,it often feels natural to lower your head slightly and watch your step.However,this gesture communicates to others that you don’t want to interact.And if you’re not careful,you might get into the habit of doing it all the time.So keep your head up and your eyes forward,even when you’re walking down the street by yourself.  Smile Try this as an experiment:Smile at someone as you pass by them on the street or walk around the office.　4　.Now wouldn’t you like to have that effect on people all the time?  Firm handshakes There are few things worse than reaching out your hand during an introduction and getting a handshake which is not firm enough.Don’t be that guy.Instead,hold the other person’s hand firmly and confidently.Of course,a handshake is not a contest.　5　.  A.Take wide steps B.Avoid your pockets C.It’s very likely that they’ll smile back D.When you’re walking anywhere by yourself E.Don’t try to hold the other person’s hand too long F.If you want to show confidence with body language G.We stand and walk a certain way when we’re confident Ⅲ.完形填空 (2025河北保定六校高二上期中) Katherine would never forget the day when her daughter brought a plate from
