The program was to help elderly people who live alone. I was a little nervous at first because I didn’t know what to do. However, the experience turned out to be wonderful. I visited Mrs. Li, an 80-year-old woman. She lived by herself and her children lived in another city. Every Saturday, I went to her house and helped her do housework. I swept the floor, folded her clothes, and sometimes cooked simple meals for her. We also talked a lot. She told me many interesting stories about her life. Through this experience, I learned that volunteering is not just about helping others. It’s also about learning from others. Mrs. Li taught me how to be patient and kind. She also taught me to cherish the time with my family. Volunteering made me feel happy and satisfied. It gave me a sense of purpose. I realized that even small actions can make a big difference in someone’s life. I will continue to volunteer and help more people in the future. 1．What was the volunteer program about?

That’s what the National Garden Scheme (NGS) (国家花园计划) has been doing. The organization opens over 3,500 private(私人的) gardens in England and Wales for people to visit, and raises money through tickets, tea and cakes. The NGS has a rich and interesting history. At a meeting in 1926, Miss Elsie Wagg came up with the idea of raising money for district (地区) nursing through the nation’s obsession (沉迷) with gardening. A year later the NGS began to work and garden owners were asked to open their gardens for “a shilling (先令) a head”. As a result, 609 gardens opened and a total of £8,191 was raised that year. During the past century, the number of gardens grew, so the NGS was able to help more charities with a larger amount of money. Thanks to the kindness of garden owners, volunteers and visitors, it has donated a total of £70 million to nursing and health charities so far. It made a donation of £3.5 million in 2024 and about 70 pence (便士) in every £1 (1 pound=100 pence) went straight to organizations like Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie, Hospice UK and The Queen’s Institute of Community Nursing. The National Garden Scheme doesn’t just open beautiful gardens for charity. Its Gardens and Health programme also shows people the important role of gardening and gardens in helping open a path to health. 1．What is the National Garden Scheme in Britain?

Volunteering is a great way to help others and make your life more meaningful. Many teenagers want to take part in volunteer work, but they don’t know how to start. Here are some useful tips for you to start your volunteer work. Find your interest The first step to be a good volunteer is to find what you are interested in. If you love reading, you can volunteer to read to the blind children. If you are good at sports, you can help teach children to play basketball in the community. You can also ask your teachers or parents for advice, or go to the local volunteer center to get more information. Pick a right project When you decide what to do, you need to pick a right volunteer project. You can start with something easy and short. For example, you can take part in a one-day park clean-up activity or help hand out leaflets for a charity show. You don’t need to start with a long or difficult project. Start with small actions You don’t need to do big things to be a volunteer. Even small actions can make a big difference. You can help your neighbor’s child with his homework after school, or give your old books to the village school.

Vanessa, who is a researcher of human behavior once said that Tony the Tiger has some of the best body language we can learn from. The picture is Tony the Tiger’s typical pose on every cereal box across America. Researchers have found that the broader we stand, the more powerful we feel. So by examining Tony’s pose, we see that he is standing very broadly with his feet. If you look closer, you’ll see he is pointing upwards, as if he were saying, “I am going up” or “________”. If you look at Tony again, you can see his smile lines reach almost all the way up to his eyes. His smile is not only open, but it is hugely expressive. This smile design makes Tony look incredibly happy, excited and optimistic. Tony the Tiger always faces forward. When we are talking with people face to face, we are showing a sign of respect. So if you look at the cereal box, you may feel like Tony is paying attention to you and this is exactly what kids like to see. An interesting study found that 57 out of the 86 cereal boxes had characters looking down. Imagine a child is walking around in the supermarket, hand-in-hand with his or her mom. The small child is looking up at all the boxes and they see the cereal characters looking down at them. When the child looks up and makes eye contact with the box, this attracts the child’s attention to that character. Making eye contact is great because it can increase feelings of love and interest! Great body language during the speech draws the audience’s attention to your points, and helps you connect with your listeners and build up a good relationship. Next time you are going to speak in public, just think about Tony, the Tiger! 1．Which is the most suitable sentence to fill in the blank “________”? A．This is me. B．I’m No.1. C．Who are you? D．Why not? 2．What can we infer from Tony the Tiger’s smile and forward facing pose? A．He wants to show respect to adult consumers. B．His smile and pose are designed to look powerful and attractive. C．He is trying to make kids feel scared and uninterested in the cereal. D．His pose and smile have no connection with the product’s appeal to children. 3．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A．Making eye contact with people is helpful. B．Characters can attract children by looking up. C．The number is useful to the study on characters. D．Many cereal boxes have characters looking down. 4．What’s the main purpose of the passage? A．To introduce Tony the Tiger. B．To tell people how to make a speech. C．To talk about Vanessa’s interesting study. D．To help people have better body language. 5．What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． When people communicate, they use body language more than words. People’s body language shows important information just like speech does. When someone lies with their words, their body language often tells the truth. The next time you wonder if someone is telling you the truth, try watching their hands. A person who is being honest will usually turn one or both of their palms towards the other person. If a person is beginning to “open up” or share important information, you may notice them turn their palms towards you. Like most body language, this unconscious (无意识的) gesture usually gives the other person the feeling that the speaker is speaking honestly. When people lie, they tend to hide their palms by putting their hands behind their back or holding them. Others will keep their hands in their pockets if they are lying or trying to hide information. Salespeople are sometimes trained to watch out for this specific example of body language when a person is saying that they can’t afford a product or service. Sometimes professional liars try to use open-palm gestures to fool others. But a careful listener may tell it is a lie through their body language such as lack of eye contact and touching the nose. Research has also suggested that if people normally turn their palms to face their listeners, they tend to be more honest themselves. If you want people’s honesty, talk to them and ask them questions while keeping your palms turned out. This will put pressure on the people you are talking to. Human body language, emotion, and communication are directly connected. By showing that you are honest, with your palms towards people, your body language pushes others to tell you the truth. 1．Turning one’s palms towards others is a symbol of ________. A．confidence B．politeness C．patience D．honesty 2．What does the underlined phrase “open up” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．敞开心扉 B．开辟 C．产生 D．取得 3．Why does the writer talk about salespeople in Paragraph 3? A．To show salespeople are very clever. B．To give an example of using body language in real life. C．To tell us not to buy things from dishonest salespeople. D．To explain why liars are hard to find. 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．All people who show their palms are telling the truth. B．Body language and words always say the same thing. C．Showing your palms outward can make others more honest. D．Liars can never fool people with body language. 5．What is the best title for this passage? A．Body Language and Honesty B．How to Talk with Salespeople C．Ways to Catch Liars D．The Importance of Communication Do you know face changing? The amazing skill in Sichuan Opera is used to express the changing feelings of characters. There are over 300 kinds of local operas in China. Among them, Sichuan Opera is one of the oldest. As the most important and the most interesting opera form from Southwestern China, it is popular in Sichuan, Chongqing and some areas of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. A large number of Sichuan Opera performances are staged throughout Sichuan Province, both in the countryside and in the cities. The opera has three special skills: changing faces, spitting（吐）fire, and rolling lights. Face changing, or “bianlian” in Chinese, is the most famous one. It is an important intangible cultural heritage. Only a few artists have picked up this skill. They know how to change Sichuan cultural masks magically. As they wave their arms and turn their heads, their painted masks change again and again. Face changing got its start about 300 years ago. In the beginning, opera artists changed the colour of their faces during performances by blowing into a bowl of red, black or gold powder. The coloured powder would stick to their oiled skin quickly. In another way, actors would cover their faces with coloured paste hidden in their hands. By the 1920s, opera artists began using layers of masks made of oiled paper. They could peel them off one after another in the blink of an eye.At present, the artists use full-face painted silk which can be worn in layers. 1．Face changing in Sichuan Opera tells ________. A．how the story goes on B．how the characters feel C．that the characters are busy D．that the characters are getting old 2．Opera artists perform face changing while ________. A．spitting fire B．doing magic tricks C．moving parts of their body D．singing along with the music 3．The last paragraph is mainly about the ________ of face changing. A．development B．importance C．popularity D．future 4．What can we learn from the underlined sentence? A．The artists may hurt their eyes when performing face changing. B．The artists can perform face changing in different ways. C．The artists need oiled paper to perform face changing. D．The artists can perform face changing very quickly. 5．What is the author’s attitude towards the face changing skill in Sichuan Opera? A．The author thinks it is an outdated and uninteresting skill. B．The author believes it is a significant and unique cultural heritage. C．The author considers it as a simple trick without much value. D．The author feels indifferent about this traditional art form. Have you ever been to a meeting where the person speaking is obviously not happy with what they’re saying? Maybe they’re telling you about a new product, but their body language tells you that they don’t believe in it. Or maybe they’re trying to make you believe something, but their body language makes them look unsure or even dishonest. Body language—the way we move, use our hands and face, and the expressions on our faces—is an important part of how we communicate with others. In fact, some experts say that it’s more important than the words we use. It can tell people what we really think, even if we’re not saying it out loud. So what does our body language say about us? Here are five things to look out for: Eye contact: In many countries, good eye contact shows that you’re interested and paying attention. But too much eye contact can be aggressive, while too little can make you seem bored or untrustworthy. Smiling: In most cultures, smiling shows that you’re friendly. But there are different kinds of smiles. A big smile with your eyes open wide shows happiness and friendliness. A small smile with your mouth closed shows politeness, but not necessarily happiness. Gestures: The way we use our hands can help explain what we’re saying. For example, if you’re talking about a tall building, you might use your hand to show how tall it is. But gestures can also be impolite, especially if you use them too much or too close to someone else’s face. Posture: The way we sit or stand can show how confident we are. For example, standing up straight with your shoulders back shows confidence, while crossing your arms can make you seem uninterested or defensive. Touch: Touching someone can show that you like or trust them, but it can also be a way of showing power. For example, if someone puts their hand on your shoulder, they’re showing that they’re in charge. Next time you’re in a meeting, try to notice what the other people are saying with their bodies. Are they telling you the same thing as their words? 1．The passage is mainly about ________. A．body language in foreign restaurants B．class discussion in Indian schools C．body language in communication D．English teaching in other countries 2．According to the text, why is body language considered important in communication? A．It shows our true thoughts and feelings. B．It helps us communicate without any words. C．It makes us appear more confident and trustworthy. D．It is the main way of communication in some cultures. 3．What does the underlined word “aggressive” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Strange and funny. B．Unfriendly and rude. C．Confident and excellent. D．Cool and smart. 4．What does the text suggest about posture? A．Crossed arms can show someone is not interested. B．If you want to show your interest, you can raise your hands. C．Good posture can show others that you are nervous. D．Posture has no influence on communication. 5．According to the text, which of the following is NOT true? A．Smiling means friendliness and happiness in many countries. B．Touching someone shows that you trust and like him/her. C．Overusing gestures can make the listener uncomfortable. D．Eye contact is not useful in communication. 三、U3单元话题热点预测 Everyone has their favourite cartoon character. For me, my favourite one is Spider-Man. He is the main character of a famous American comic series. Spider-Man is a common boy called Peter Parker at first. After being bitten by a special spider, he gets super power. He uses his power to help people in trouble and fight against bad people. He is brave, kind and responsible. Even when he faces great difficulties, he never gives up.

He tells us that everyone can be a hero if we are brave and willing to help others. We don’t need super power to help people. Small kind acts can also make a big difference.

It has gone through over 100 years of development and has won the hearts of international audiences with its unique charm. Unlike some Western animation that focuses on funny plots only, Chinese animation always mixes traditional culture with interesting stories. For example, Havoc in Heaven uses Beijing opera elements, and many new 3D animated films add paper-cutting and ink-wash painting styles. These traditional elements make Chinese animation different from others and help foreign people understand Chinese culture better. In recent years, Chinese animators have kept learning advanced skills from other countries and improving their own works. Films like Ne Zha and Monkey King: Hero is Back have been shown in many foreign countries. They get high scores on international film websites and make more people fall in love with Chinese animation. Now, more and more young animators start to create works about modern Chinese life, not just ancient stories. This makes Chinese animation more colorful and closer to the world.

During the Spring Festival, people paste red paper cuttings on windows and doors to wish for a better year. Li Xia, a 35-year-old teacher from Xi’an, has loved paper cutting since she was a child. “When I hold the scissors and red paper, I forget all my worries,” she says. “It helps me find inner peace. Creating a complex pattern takes patience, but seeing the final work gives me great joy.” Unlike modern digital art, paper cutting is done entirely by hand. “It’s not about speed or making money,” says Wang Lei, a master of this art. “It’s about the connection between your heart and your hands. Every cut carries emotion.” He believes that even in the age of computers, this traditional skill is valuable because it teaches us to slow down and focus. For some young people, paper cutting is also a form of exercise for the brain. “It requires great concentration,” says a college student. “After cutting for an hour, I feel relaxed, just like after doing yoga.” Today, paper cutting is not only popular in China but also known around the world.

The program was to help elderly people who live alone. I was a little nervous at first because I didn’t know what to do. However, the experience turned out to be wonderful. I visited Mrs. Li, an 80-year-old woman. She lived by herself and her children lived in another city. Every Saturday, I went to her house and helped her do housework. I swept the floor, folded her clothes, and sometimes cooked simple meals for her. We also talked a lot. She told me many interesting stories about her life. Through this experience, I learned that volunteering is not just about helping others. It’s also about learning from others. Mrs. Li taught me how to be patient and kind. She also taught me to cherish the time with my family. Volunteering made me feel happy and satisfied. It gave me a sense of purpose.

That’s what the National Garden Scheme (NGS) (国家花园计划) has been doing. The organization opens over 3,500 private(私人的) gardens in England and Wales for people to visit, and raises money through tickets, tea and cakes. The NGS has a rich and interesting history. At a meeting in 1926, Miss Elsie Wagg came up with the idea of raising money for district (地区) nursing through the nation’s obsession (沉迷) with gardening. A year later the NGS began to work and garden owners were asked to open their gardens for “a shilling (先令) a head”. As a result, 609 gardens opened and a total of £8,191 was raised that year. During the past century, the number of gardens grew, so the NGS was able to help more charities with a larger amount of money. Thanks to the kindness of garden owners, volunteers and visitors, it has donated a total of £70 million to nursing and health charities so far. It made a donation of £3.5 million in 2024 and about 70 pence (便士) in every £1 (1 pound=100 pence) went straight to organizations like Macmillan Cancer Support, Marie Curie, Hospice UK and The Queen’s Institute of Community Nursing. The National Garden Scheme doesn’t just open beautiful gardens for charity. Its Gardens and Health programme also shows people the important role of gardening and gardens in helping open a path to health. 1．What is the National Garden Scheme in Britain? A．A scheme to learn gardening. B．A scheme for health education. C．A scheme to do charity. D．A scheme to enjoy garden life. 2．Why did Miss Elsie Wagg choose gardens as a way to raise money? A．Because the British had deep love for gardening. B．Because the number of gardens grew quickly in 1926. C．Because gardens had an interesting history in Britain. D．Because the garden owners in Britain were very rich. 3．How many pounds went straight to organizations like Macmillan Cancer Support in 2024? A．About £2 million. B．About £2.45 million. C．About £3.25 million. D．About £3.5 million. 4．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A．The National Garden Scheme started to work in 1926. B．Tea and cakes in these gardens are provided free of charge. C．The NGS donated £70 million to nursing and health charities in the 20th century. D．It’s a good idea to learn gardening because it can help you live a healthy life. 5．What’s the main purpose of this passage? A．To show how much the British love gardening. B．To show how much money can be made in British gardening. C．To explain the connection between NGS and gardening. D．To introduce NGS, a way to raise money for charities. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．D 5．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了英国的国家花园计划（NGS），该计划通过开放私人花园供人参观来筹集善款，用于支持护理和健康慈善机构。文章还介绍了NGS的历史、筹款成果以及其“花园与健康”项目对人们健康的积极影响。 1．根据文章第一段“Do you know that taking good care of gardens can be a way of doing charity? That’s what the National Garden Scheme (NGS) has been doing.”可知，国家花园计划（NGS）是一个做慈善的计划。 2．根据文章第二段“At a meeting in 1926, Miss Elsie Wagg came up with the idea of raising money for district nursing through the nation’s obsession (沉迷) with gardening.”可知，Elsie Wagg小姐选择花园作为筹款方式是因为英国人对园艺的热爱。 3．根据文章第三段“It made a donation of £3.5 million in 2024 and about 70 pence in every £1 went straight to organizations like Macmillan Cancer Support...”可知，2024年NGS捐赠了350万英镑，其中每1英镑中有70便士直接捐给了像麦克米伦癌症支持这样的组织，所以直接捐给麦克米伦癌症支持等组织的金额约为350万×0.7=245万英镑，即About £2.45 million。 4．根据文章最后一段“Its Gardens and Health programme also shows people the important role of gardening and gardens in helping open a path to health.”可知，学习园艺是个好主意，因为它可以帮助你过上健康的生活。A选项，根据“A year later the NGS began to work...”可知NGS1927年开始工作，A错误；B选项，根据“and raises money through tickets, tea and cakes.”可知茶和蛋糕是用来筹钱的，不是免费的，B错误；C选项，根据“it has donated a total of £70 million to nursing and health charities so far.”可知是到目前为止总共捐赠了7000万英镑，不是20世纪，C错误。 5．根据文章第一段“Do you know that taking good care of gardens can be a way of doing charity? That’s what the National Garden Scheme (NGS) has been doing.”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了NGS，一种为慈善机构筹集资金的方式。 Volunteering is a great way to help others and make your life more meaningful. Many teenagers want to take part in volunteer work, but they don’t know how to start. Here are some useful tips for you to start your volunteer work.

Vanessa, who is a researcher of human behavior once said that Tony the Tiger has some of the best body language we can learn from. The picture is Tony the Tiger’s typical pose on every cereal box across America. Researchers have found that the broader we stand, the more powerful we feel. So by examining Tony’s pose, we see that he is standing very broadly with his feet. If you look closer, you’ll see he is pointing upwards, as if he were saying, “I am going up” or “________”. If you look at Tony again, you can see his smile lines reach almost all the way up to his eyes. His smile is not only open, but it is hugely expressive. This smile design makes Tony look incredibly happy, excited and optimistic. Tony the Tiger always faces forward. When we are talking with people face to face, we are showing a sign of respect. So if you look at the cereal box, you may feel like Tony is paying attention to you and this is exactly what kids like to see. An interesting study found that 57 out of the 86 cereal boxes had characters looking down. Imagine a child is walking around in the supermarket, hand-in-hand with his or her mom. The small child is looking up at all the boxes and they see the cereal characters looking down at them. When the child looks up and makes eye contact with the box, this attracts the child’s attention to that character. Making eye contact is great because it can increase feelings of love and interest! Great body language during the speech draws the audience’s attention to your points, and helps you connect with your listeners and build up a good relationship. Next time you are going to speak in public, just think about Tony, the Tiger! 1．Which is the most suitable sentence to fill in the blank “________”? A．This is me. B．I’m No.1. C．Who are you? D．Why not? 2．What can we infer from Tony the Tiger’s smile and forward facing pose? A．He wants to show respect to adult consumers. B．His smile and pose are designed to look powerful and attractive. C．He is trying to make kids feel scared and uninterested in the cereal. D．His pose and smile have no connection with the product’s appeal to children. 3．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about? A．Making eye contact with people is helpful. B．Characters can attract children by looking up. C．The number is useful to the study on characters. D．Many cereal boxes have characters looking down. 4．What’s the main purpose of the passage? A．To introduce Tony the Tiger. B．To tell people how to make a speech. C．To talk about Vanessa’s interesting study. D．To help people have better body language. 5．What is the structure of the passage? A． B． C． D． 【答案】1．B 2．B 3．A 4．D 5．C 【导语】文章主要介绍了如何通过借鉴托尼老虎的肢体语言，在演讲中展现出强大的气场，吸引听众并与他们建立良好关系。 1．前文提到托尼老虎向上指，结合语境，“I’m No.1.”能体现其展现强大自信的感觉，符合其向上指所传达的积极进取、有力量的意味。 2．根据第三段“His smile is not only open, but it is hugely expressive. This smile design makes Tony look incredibly happy, excited and optimistic.”以及第四段“Tony the Tiger always faces forward. When we are talking with people face-to-face, we are showing a sign of respect.”可知，他的微笑和姿势被设计得既有力又有吸引力。 3．第五段主要讲了孩子在超市时，与麦片盒上向下看的角色进行眼神接触等情况，强调了与人们进行眼神接触是有帮助的，能增加喜爱和兴趣等。 4．文章开篇提出如何用强有力的肢体语言在演讲中显得有力量，然后以托尼老虎为例，介绍它的姿势、微笑等肢体语言，最后强调好的肢体语言在演讲中的作用，所以文章的主要目的是帮助人们拥有更好的肢体语言。 5．文章开篇提出问题“如何用强有力的肢体语言在演讲中显得有力量”，中间以托尼老虎为例进行阐述，最后总结强调肢体语言的重要性，属于总分总结构。 When people communicate, they use body language more than words. People’s body language shows important information just like speech does. When someone lies with their words, their body language often tells the truth. The next time you wonder if someone is telling you the truth, try watching their hands. A person who is being honest will usually turn one or both of their palms towards the other person. If a person is beginning to “open up” or share important information, you may notice them turn their palms towards you. Like most body language, this unconscious (无意识的) gesture usually gives the other person the feeling that the speaker is speaking honestly. When people lie, they tend to hide their palms by putting their hands behind their back or holding them. Others will keep their hands in their pockets if they are lying or trying to hide information. Salespeople are sometimes trained to watch out for this specific example of body language when a person is saying that they can’t afford a product or service. Sometimes professional liars try to use open-palm gestures to fool others. But a careful listener may tell it is a lie through their body language such as lack of eye contact and touching the nose. Research has also suggested that if people normally turn their palms to face their listeners, they tend to be more honest themselves. If you want people’s honesty, talk to them and ask them questions while keeping your palms turned out. This will put pressure on the people you are talking to. Human body language, emotion, and communication are directly connected. By showing that you are honest, with your palms towards people, your body language pushes others to tell you the truth. 1．Turning one’s palms towards others is a symbol of ________. A．confidence B．politeness C．patience D．honesty 2．What does the underlined phrase “open up” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A．敞开心扉 B．开辟 C．产生 D．取得 3．Why does the writer talk about salespeople in Paragraph 3? A．To show salespeople are very clever. B．To give an example of using body language in real life. C．To tell us not to buy things from dishonest salespeople. D．To explain why liars are hard to find. 4．What can we learn from the passage? A．All people who show their palms are telling the truth. B．Body language and words always say the same thing. C．Showing your palms outward can make others more honest. D．Liars can never fool people with body language. 5．What is the best title for this passage? A．Body Language and Honesty B．How to Talk with Salespeople C．Ways to Catch Liars D．The Importance of Communication 【答案】1．D 2．A 3．B 4．C 5．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，围绕肢体语言与诚实的关联展开，介绍了“掌心朝向他人”这一肢体动作所代表的诚实信号，以及说谎“”者的肢体特征、该肢体语言在现实中的应用与影响。 1．原文第2段提到：“If a person is beginning to “open up” or share important information, you may notice them turn their palms towards you. Like most body language, this unconscious (无意识的) gesture usually gives the other person the feeling that the speaker is speaking honestly.”直接说明掌心朝向他人是诚实的象征。 2．后文“or share important information”是对“open up”的同义解释，即分享重要信息，对应“敞开心扉”的含义。 3．第3段以销售人员为例，说明现实中有人会刻意使用“掌心朝向”的肢体语言来伪装诚实，是对前文肢体语言与诚实关系的现实例证补充。 4．原文最后一段提到：“By showing that you are honest, with your palms towards people, your body language pushes others to tell you the truth.”直接说明掌心向外能促使他人更诚实。 5．全文核心围绕“肢体语言（掌心动作）与诚实的关联”展开，从诚实的肢体信号、说谎者的特征、现实应用到影响，均围绕该主题，最能概括全文主旨。 Do you know face changing? The amazing skill in Sichuan Opera is used to express the changing feelings of characters. There are over 300 kinds of local operas in China. Among them, Sichuan Opera is one of the oldest. As the most important and the most interesting opera form from Southwestern China, it is popular in Sichuan, Chongqing and some areas of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces. A large number of Sichuan Opera performances are staged throughout Sichuan Province, both in the countryside and in the cities. The opera has three special skills: changing faces, spitting（吐）fire, and rolling lights. Face changing, or “bianlian” in Chinese, is the most famous one. It is an important intangible cultural heritage. Only a few artists have picked up this skill. They know how to change Sichuan cultural masks magically. As they wave their arms and turn their heads, their painted masks change again and again. Face changing got its start about 300 years ago. In the beginning, opera artists changed the colour of their faces during performances by blowing into a bowl of red, black or gold powder. The coloured powder would stick to their oiled skin quickly. In another way, actors would cover their faces with coloured paste hidden in their hands. By the 1920s, opera artists began using layers of masks made of oiled paper. They could peel them off one after another in the blink of an eye.At present, the artists use full-face painted silk which can be worn in layers. 1．Face changing in Sichuan Opera tells ________. A．how the story goes on B．how the characters feel C．that the characters are busy D．that the characters are getting old 2．Opera artists perform face changing while ________. A．spitting fire B．doing magic tricks C．moving parts of their body D．singing along with the music 3．The last paragraph is mainly about the ________ of face changing. A．development B．importance C．popularity D．future 4．What can we learn from the underlined sentence? A．The artists may hurt their eyes when performing face changing. B．The artists can perform face changing in different ways. C．The artists need oiled paper to perform face changing. D．The artists can perform face changing very quickly. 5．What is the author’s attitude towards the face changing skill in Sichuan Opera? A．The author thinks it is an outdated and uninteresting skill. B．The author believes it is a significant and unique cultural heritage. C．The author considers it as a simple trick without much value. D．The author feels indifferent about this traditional art form. 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．D 5．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了川剧的变脸绝技，包括变脸的作用、表演方式、发展历史，以及作者对这一非遗技艺的态度。 1．首段直接点明：“The amazing skill in Sichuan Opera is used to express the changing feelings of characters.”，说明川剧变脸用于展现角色的情绪变化，对应选项B“how the characters feel”，答案为原文直接信息。 2．第二段明确描述：“As they wave their arms and turn their heads, their painted masks change again and again.”，说明变脸是演员在挥动手臂、转头等肢体动作中完成的，对应选项C“moving parts of their body”，答案为原文直接信息。 3．最后一段按时间顺序，依次介绍了变脸从约 300 年前起源、20 世纪 20 年代用油纸面具，到如今使用多层真丝面具的演变过程，核心是讲述变脸技艺的发展历程，对应选项A“development”，答案为对段落内容的概括总结。 4．划线句“They could peel one after another in the blink of an eye.” 中，“in the blink of an eye”意为“眨眼之间”，直接体现出变脸动作的极快速度，对应选项D“The artists can perform face changing very quickly.”，答案为对原文语句的语义解读。 5．第二段明确提到“It is an important intangible cultural heritage.”，结合全文对变脸技艺的正面介绍，可推断作者认为变脸是重要且独特的文化遗产，对应选项B“The author believes it is a significant and unique cultural heritage.”，答案为对作者态度的概括总结。 Have you ever been to a meeting where the person speaking is obviously not happy with what they’re saying? Maybe they’re telling you about a new product, but their body language tells you that they don’t believe in it. Or maybe they’re trying to make you believe something, but their body language makes them look unsure or even dishonest. Body language—the way we move, use our hands and face, and the expressions on our faces—is an important part of how we communicate with others. In fact, some experts say that it’s more important than the words we use. It can tell people what we really think, even if we’re not saying it out loud. So what does our body language say about us? Here are five things to look out for: Eye contact: In many countries, good eye contact shows that you’re interested and paying attention. But too much eye contact can be aggressive, while too little can make you seem bored or untrustworthy. Smiling: In most cultures, smiling shows that you’re friendly. But there are different kinds of smiles. A big smile with your eyes open wide shows happiness and friendliness. A small smile with your mouth closed shows politeness, but not necessarily happiness. Gestures: The way we use our hands can help explain what we’re saying. For example, if you’re talking about a tall building, you might use your hand to show how tall it is. But gestures can also be impolite, especially if you use them too much or too close to someone else’s face. Posture: The way we sit or stand can show how confident we are. For example, standing up straight with your shoulders back shows confidence, while crossing your arms can make you seem uninterested or defensive. Touch: Touching someone can show that you like or trust them, but it can also be a way of showing power. For example, if someone puts their hand on your shoulder, they’re showing that they’re in charge. Next time you’re in a meeting, try to notice what the other people are saying with their bodies. Are they telling you the same thing as their words? 1．The passage is mainly about ________. A．body language in foreign restaurants B．class discussion in Indian schools C．body language in communication D．English teaching in other countries 2．According to the text, why is body language considered important in communication? A．It shows our true thoughts and feelings. B．It helps us communicate without any words. C．It makes us appear more confident and trustworthy. D．It is the main way of communication in some cultures. 3．What does the underlined word “aggressive” in Paragraph 4 mean? A．Strange and funny. B．Unfriendly and rude. C．Confident and excellent. D．Cool and smart. 4．What does the text suggest about posture? A．Crossed arms can show someone is not interested. B．If you want to show your interest, you can raise your hands. C．Good posture can show others that you are nervous. D．Posture has no influence on communication. 5．According to the text, which of the following is NOT true? A．Smiling means friendliness and happiness in many countries. B．Touching someone shows that you trust and like him/her. C．Overusing gestures can make the listener uncomfortable. D．Eye contact is not useful in communication. 【答案】1．C 2．A 3．B 4．A 5．D 【导语】本文核心介绍了交流中肢体语言的重要性，指出肢体语言比语言更能传递人的真实想法和感受；并分五类详细讲解了眼神交流、微笑、手势、姿势、触碰的不同表现形式对应的含义，以及使用时的注意事项；最后建议读者在交流中关注他人的肢体语言，判断其肢体表达与语言是否一致。 1．全文围绕“肢体语言是交流的重要部分”展开，依次介绍了眼神交流、微笑、手势、姿势、触碰五种肢体语言的含义和使用要点。 2．第二段“Body language—the way we move, use our hands and face…It can tell people what we really think, even if we’re not saying it out loud.”直接点明肢体语言的核心重要性——能传递人们未说出口的真实想法，原文直接提取信息。 3．第四段第二句“But too much eye contact can be aggressive, while too little can make you seem bored or untrustworthy.”，句中while表正反对比，前后均为“肢体语言使用不当的负面结果”：过少眼神交流→无聊/不可信，过多眼神交流→aggressive (贬义)。结合词义，aggressive在此处指“咄咄逼人的、不友好的”，与“Unfriendly and rude (不友好且粗鲁的)”精准匹配。 4．第七段最后一句“For example, standing up straight with your shoulders back shows confidence, while crossing your arms can make you seem uninterested or defensive.”，原文用“while”明确说明交叉手臂的肢体语言含义——“显得无兴趣或有防备心”，原文直接提取信息。 5．第四段第一句“Eye contact: In many countries, good eye contact shows that you’re interested and paying attention.”原文明确指出“良好的眼神交流能体现对交流的兴趣和专注”，说明眼神交流在沟通中非常有用，因此选项D“眼神交流在沟通中无用”是与原文完全相悖的错误表述。 三、U3单元话题热点预测 Everyone has their favourite cartoon character. For me, my favourite one is Spider-Man. He is the main character of a famous American comic series. Spider-Man is a common boy called Peter Parker at first. After being bitten by a special spider, he gets super power. He uses his power to help people in trouble and fight against bad people. He is brave, kind and responsible. Even when he faces great difficulties, he never gives up. He always tries his best to protect the people around him. I like Spider-Man not only because he is cool and has super power, but also because of his spirit. He tells us that everyone can be a hero if we are brave and willing to help others.

These traditional elements make Chinese animation different from others and help foreign people understand Chinese culture better. In recent years, Chinese animators have kept learning advanced skills from other countries and improving their own works. Films like Ne Zha and Monkey King: Hero is Back have been shown in many foreign countries. They get high scores on international film websites and make more people fall in love with Chinese animation.
