Words are important, but body language can also give us information about people’s feelings. Body language is one of 　2　 most powerful means of communication. It is used 　3　(convey) people’s thoughts and opinions and to communicate with each other. When talking with others, you are not just using words, 　4　 using facial expressions as well as gestures. Body language varies from culture 　5　 culture just like spoken language. The gesture for “OK” has different meanings in different cultures. The gestures 　6　 we use for “yes” and “no” differ all over the world. But some gestures seem to have the same meaning all over the world. For example, putting your hands together and resting them on the side of your head while you’re closing your eyes 　7　(mean) “sleep”. Some body language has many different uses. Maybe the best example is smiling. A smile can help 　8　(we) get through difficult situations and find friends, and at the same time it can break down barriers. So, experts advise 　9　(smile) at yourself in the mirror to make yourself feel　10　(happy) and stronger.  1.　　　　　　　2.　　　　　　　3.　　　　　　　4.　　　　　　　5.　　　　　　   6.　　　　　　　7.　　　　　　　8.　　　　　　　9.　　　　　　　10.　　　　　　   Ⅱ.语法填空 Are some facial expressions universal across cultures? Imagine walking into a hotel lobby (大厅) in a foreign country. You’re tired from a long journey, but you don’t have a room　1　 (book). The hotel looks busy, but you’re hopeful there’s a room available. Before approaching the clerk at the desk, you stop to study her face, 　2　 (assess) her level of friendliness. She looks pleasant, so you decide to approach, but first you take care to put on a smile, hoping 　3　 (perceive) as friendly.  Reading facial expressions　4　 (be) a common means of interpreting what people are thinking or feeling, particularly across a language barrier. While the basic 　5　 (interpret) of an expression may hold true across cultures, learned behavior 　6　 (pattern) do affect the way people interpret facial expressions differently. For example, a smile is 　7　 (universal) interpreted as an indicator of happiness and friendliness. But the way it is used among cultures can carry different meanings. In some Asian cultures, a smile can be used to overcome an uncomfortable or anxiety-causing situation, 　8　, to other cultures, may seem inappropriate.  Communicating across a language barrier can be difficult, but remember that drawing conclusions according 　9　 facial expressions can help. So next time you are tired in a foreign hotel lobby, think about your facial expression: a relaxed face and gentle smile may get you 　10　 good night’s sleep.  1.　　　　　　　2.　　　　　　　3.　　　　　　　4.　　　　　　　5.　　　　　　   6.　　　　　　　7.　　　　　　　8.　　　　　　　9.　　　　　　　10.　　　　　　   Ⅲ.阅读理解 A Nonverbal communication can be anything that is not said. For example, if a man is smiling, you know he is probably happy. If a woman is touching her head, biting her lip, looking down or around quickly to avoid eye contact, she may be anxious. Nonverbal communication depends in some ways on a person’s background and culture. For example, in some cultures, pointing with a finger means that you are showing something. In other cultures, that is not good. Instead, people show things by using their whole hand.  In a way, people of different genders(性别) are like people from different cultures. Scientists know that when men and women speak, they use words in different ways. They also know that men and women use different kinds of nonverbal communication. In general, women like to stand closer to the person they are talking to. This may help show that the woman is interested in what the other person says. They don’t make large movements with their hands when they speak. However, men prefer to stand farther away from the person they are speaking to. This could be because many men prefer to have more privacy. When speaking with others, men also use large movements to help show what they are talking about. Studies showed that men make less eye contact than women. When someone does not look at you often when you are speaking, it can make you feel like they are not listening. Sometimes, doing the same thing that the person you are speaking with is doing can help. It can show the person that you are interested in what he or she says. This is called mirroring. For example, if the woman you are speaking with is smiling, you may want to smile, too. If the man you are talking to has his arms crossed, you might also want to try crossing arms. If you understand what people are saying with their bodies, it can help you know how they feel or what they really mean. Understanding nonverbal communication can also help you understand how to get your own feelings and ideas across to the person you are talking to. 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 1.What does the underlined word “that” refer to in paragraph 1?

He mentioned “Pinocchio(皮诺曹)” to me one cold morning after saying that I always rubbed my nose when giving excuses for being late for his courses. Actually, when someone tells a lie, the person’s blood rushes to the nose and the extra blood makes it itchy(发痒的). This little example of nonverbal communication inspired me to become a body language expert. Now, I earn my living by training people in nonverbal interaction. Knowing when someone is lying and knowing how to persuade people are two of the most important skills you’ll ever learn. My study shows the human body gives more reliable information than the words we speak. The words say one thing, but by comparison, the body may say something completely different. We know that crossed arms can be seen as either defensive or aggressive, but what about facial expressions, postures and gestures? All of these say a lot and can only be understood if you know how to make sense of the signs. Business companies always need my services and I try to improve their confidence by teaching them about body language. I give advice about handshakes, which should always be firm and steady, and I teach the importance of personal space. They may seem like small matters, but these codes of behaviour can be the key to making or breaking a business deal. My working life gives me a great deal of satisfaction. I feel that I’m providing a public service, but it is a service that has had its downside. Whenever I meet someone new and I tell them what I do for a living, they immediately put their guard up and they’re no longer relaxed. They quite literally freeze in an attempt to hide all the signals that they think I’m reading. It makes life difficult at times, but I consider it a small price to pay for a job I enjoy so much. 5.What is the author’s purpose of mentioning his professor? A.To describe his professor’s success. B.To explain why he chose his career. C.To show his professor’s study of the “Pinocchio” effect. D.To introduce what impressed him most during his career. 6.What is the main idea of the second paragraph? A.The body language can tell you the real story behind words. B.It takes plenty of time to study the body language. C.Crossed arms can be regarded as an impolite way. D.Facial expressions play an important part in the body language. 7.Why do people react in an unnatural way when knowing the author’s profession? A.They dislike his services.　　B.They think he is too proud. C.They consider him unreliable.　　D.They believe he is studying them. 8.What can we learn about the author from the text? A.He thinks little of minor gestures.　　B.He travels the world giving advice. C.He is content with his work.　　D.He is good at pretending. 答案 基础过关练 Ⅰ.1.from　考查介词。vary from...to...意为“因……而异”。故填from。句意:课堂活动每天都会有所不同,但学生必须准备好完成简短的课堂写作。 2.from　考查介词。differ from表示“与……不同”。句意:到东亚旅游的美国人常常对亚洲与美国的文化和习俗之间的差异感到惊讶和困惑。 3.anger　考查名词。设空处作介词in的宾语,用名词形式。in anger意为“愤怒地”,在句中作状语,故填anger。句意:萨姆愤怒地踢了一个塑料瓶,瓶子飞过了草地。 4.identically　考查副词。设空处修饰表语the same,作状语,用副词形式。故填identically。句意:我知道他们写的很多文章都是一字不差、完全相同的。 5.with　考查介词。in comparison with意为“和……相比较”。故填with。句意:当谈到日常交流时,与即时消息相比,传统书信仍具有独特优势,尤其在传递深层情感方面。 6.approval　考查名词。分析句子可知,设空处与support由or连接,被限定词their修饰,作动词show的宾语,故用名词形式approval,表示“赞许”。句意:一些网民用“打call”代替“为某人欢呼”,以示他们的赞许或支持。 7.appropriately　考查副词。句意:保持开放的姿态可以让你看起来更平易近人。同样,观察他人的非语言提示可以帮助你做出更恰当的回应。分析句子可知,此处修饰动词respond,应用副词appropriately。 8.reliable　考查形容词。句意:图书管理员可以帮助你研究学校项目或论文,向你展示如何进行网络搜索,并引导你找到可靠的信息来源。结合句意判断,此处应用形容词修饰sources of information,故填reliable,意为“可靠的”。 9.in　考查介词。句意:商业产品中存在的极高的糖分会增加超重和蛀牙的风险,同时导致(人们养成)偏好含糖食品的饮食习惯。in favour of在句中引申为“偏好”之意。故填in。 10.employer;employment;employees　考查名词。句意:雇主提供了优厚的福利和成长机会,使得这份工作对潜在的雇员极具吸引力。结合句意判断,第一空前有定冠词The,作主语,且谓语动词为第三人称单数,故用单数名词employer;第二空前也有the限定,在句中作making的宾语,表示“工作,职业”,故填employment;第三空作介词to的宾语,且有形容词potential修饰,表示“潜在的雇员”,由常识可知潜在的雇员不止一个,故填复数名词employees。 Ⅱ.1.get through　2.approve of　3.By contrast　4.break down　5.be appropriate to Ⅲ.1.a variety of topics　2.Chinese people have witnessed 3.nobody was happier than　4.not all the students 能力提升练 Ⅰ.1.communication　考查名词。设空处作介词in的宾语,空前有形容词,需要用名词,故填communication。 2.the　考查冠词。分析句子可知,此处为“one of+the+形容词最高级+可数名词复数”结构,故填the。 3.to convey　考查动词不定式。be used to do sth.意为“被用来做某事”,故填to convey。 4.but　考查固定搭配。此处是“not just...but (also)...”结构,表示“不仅……而且……”,故填 but。 5.to　考查介词。由空前的varies from和上下文语境可知此处考查短语vary from...to...,表示“因……而异”,故填to。 6.that/which　考查关系代词。空前为名词gestures,“ 　6　 we use for ‘yes’ and ‘no’”中缺少use的宾语,且结合语境可知use的宾语即前面的gestures,故设空处引导定语从句且在从句中作宾语,先行词为gestures(指物),故用关系代词that或which。  7.means　考查时态和主谓一致。分析句子成分可知,设空处为主句的谓语。此处叙述一般事实,应使用一般现在时,主语为动名词短语“putting your hands together...your eyes”,表示单数意义,所以设空处用动词的第三人称单数形式,故填means。 8.us　考查人称代词。分析句子成分可知,设空处作动词help的宾语,应用we的宾格形式,故填us。 9.smiling　考查动名词。advise doing sth.意为“建议做某事”,故填smiling。 10.happier　考查形容词的比较级。由语境及and后的stronger可知,此处含有比较的意思,应用形容词的比较级,故填happier。 Ⅱ.语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕“面部表情是否跨文化通用”展开,指出了面部表情的基本含义在不同文化中存在共性,但习得的行为模式会导致解读差异。 1.booked　考查过去分词。根据前面的have a room可知,这里构成“have+宾语+宾语补足语”结构,宾语a room与提示词book(预订)之间为被动关系,即“房间被预订”,所以用过去分词作宾语补足语。故填booked。句意:你经过长途旅行后很疲惫,但还没有预订房间。 2.assessing　考查v.-ing形式。句中已有谓语stop,且空前没有连词,所以设空处应用非谓语动词;主语you与提示词assess之间为主动关系,应用v.-ing形式作伴随状语。故填assessing。句意:在走向前台接待人员之前,你停下来观察她的面部,评估她的友善程度。 3.to be perceived　考查不定式。分析句子结构可知,hoping在句中作伴随状语,其逻辑主语为前面的you;hope后接不定式作宾语,即hope to do sth.,所以设空处应填不定式;hoping的逻辑主语you与提示词perceive(认为,看作)之间为被动关系(希望被认为是友善的),所以应用不定式的被动式“to be done”表被动,故填to be perceived。句意:她看起来很亲切,所以你决定走过去,但首先你特意露出微笑,希望被认为是友善的。 4.is　考查时态和主谓一致。主句为主系表结构,主语“Reading facial expressions”为动名词短语,且为单数意义,所以谓语动词应用单数形式;此处为客观描述,用一般现在时,故填is。句意:解读面部表情是理解人们的想法或感受的常见方式,尤其是在存在语言障碍的情况下。 5.interpretation　考查名词。设空处前有形容词basic(基本的),且设空处作从句主语,所以应填名词,故填interpretation。句意:虽然一种表情的基本解读在不同文化中可能是适用的,但后天习得的行为模式确实会以不同的方式影响人们解读面部表情的方式。 6.patterns　考查名词复数。分析句子结构可知,“learned behavior 　6　 (pattern)”在主句中作主语,根据谓语“do affect”中do的形式可知,主语应为复数,故填patterns。  7.universally　考查副词。设空处修饰动词interpreted,应用副词,故填universally。句意:例如,微笑被普遍解读为幸福和友善的信号。 8.which　考查非限制性定语从句的引导词。分析句子结构可知,空前部分成分完整,“　8　, to other cultures, may seem inappropriate”中缺少主语,结合语境可知这里的主语为前文提到的“用微笑来解决令人不适或引发焦虑的情况”的做法,所以设空处引导非限制性定语从句,先行词为主句中的部分内容,故填which。句意:在一些亚洲文化中,微笑可用于解决令人不适或引发焦虑的情况,但对其他文化来说,这种做法可能显得不合适。  9.to　考查介词。according to意为“根据;按照”。故填to。句意:跨越语言障碍沟通可能很困难,但要记住,根据面部表情得出结论会有所帮助。 10.a　考查冠词。“a good night’s sleep”意为“一夜好眠”。故填a。 Ⅲ.A 语篇解读　本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了非语言沟通在不同文化和性别中的差异,理解这些差异有助于更好地交流和表达情感。 1.D　词义猜测题。画线词所在句的前一句提到“在一些文化中,用手指指东西表示你在示意某个事物”,画线词所在句紧接着说“在其他文化中那是不合适的”。由此可判断,“that”指代的是前文的“pointing with a finger”。故选D。 2.C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“However, men prefer to stand farther away from the person they are speaking to. This could be because many men prefer to have more privacy.”可知,男性与人交谈时站得较远,原因是他们希望拥有更多私人空间,“privacy”与选项C中的“personal space”为近义表达。故选 C。 3.B　推理判断题。分析第三段与crossing arms相关的内容可知,文章先指出“This is called mirroring.”,然后通过“For example, if the woman...If the man you are talking to has his arms crossed, you might also want to try crossing arms.”进行了举例说明。所以作者先提出“镜像模仿(mirroring)”这一概念,随后通过“微笑”和“交叉双臂”这两个例子进行解释。因此,提及“交叉双臂”是为了举例说明“镜像模仿”。故选 B。 4.C　主旨大意题。根据最后一段的关键信息“it can help you know how they feel or what they really mean”和“can also help you understand how to get your own feelings and ideas across”可知,最后一段主要在阐述“理解非语言沟通”能带来的积极作用,即其重要性。故选 C。 B 语篇解读　本文为一篇记叙文。作者从事与肢体语言相关的工作,讲述了肢体语言的重要性以及这份特别的工作对自己的影响。 5.B　推理判断题。根据第一段中的“My interest in body language began because of a professor of mine at university.”和“This little example of nonverbal communication inspired me to become a body language expert.”可知,作者大学时的一位教授对作者肢体语言的洞察激起了作者研究肢体语言的兴趣,由此推知,作者提到这位教授是为了解释他从事这项工作的原因。故选B。 6.A　主旨大意题。第二段前两句谈到,作者的研究表明,人体提供的信息比我们说的话更可靠。对于同一件事,说的和身体表达的可能完全不同。所以本段讲述了肢体语言可以告诉你语言背后的真实情况。故选A。 7.D　推理判断题。题干中的unnatural与最后一段的“...put their guard up and they’re no longer relaxed. They quite literally freeze in an attempt to hide...”意思一致,所以定位到最后一段。该段谈到,每当作者新认识人,并告诉他们自己做什么工作时,他们就会立刻警觉起来,不再放松。他们努力掩饰他们认为作者在解读的一切信号。由此可推知,刚接触作者的人听说他的职业后会表现得不自然是因为他们觉得作者在与他们交流的过程中会像在工作中一样,去研究他们。故选D。 8.C　细节理解题。根据最后一段的“My working life gives me a great deal of satisfaction.(我的工作生活给了我很大的满足感)”及“It makes life difficult at times...so much.(这有时会让生活变得困难,但我认为这是我为一份我非常喜欢的工作付出的小小代价)”可知,作者喜欢自己的工作并能从中获得满足感。故选C。 134 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
