Unit 4 Body Language-单元提升强化训练 2025-2026学年高中英语人教版选择性必修第一册

Unit 4　Body Language Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Texting and e-mailing have become a key part of how we communicate in our lives,so much that it’s fundamentally changing language and communication.According to linguist (语言学家) McCulloch,it’s making us better writers,speakers,and communicators. “Language is humanity’s most impressive open-source project,” writes McCulloch,who studies and analyzes the patterns of Internet language.“Just as we find things on the Internet by following links from one place to another,language spreads through our conversations and interactions.” From words and acronyms (like AIDS) to emojis and GIFs,people today have a wide range of ways to express online what they’re thinking and feeling,which can be more effective than pure words.If you’re meeting a friend for happy hour,sending a GIF of Betty White swirling (旋转) a glass of wine can often show your excitement better than words can.Hate Mondays?Posting a meme of Grumpy Cat can instantly convey your mood.Those fluent in Internet-speak can also play with punctuation,capitalization,even spacing to convey emotional state and tone of voice.Words can now be altogether replaced with emblems and icons,which helps explain the popularity of emojis and GIFs in our online conversations. All of this helps make our social interactions more interesting,and the fluidity (不稳定性) of language is actually its biggest strength.“I mean,fashion can change,why can’t language?” asks McCulloch.“In fact,language has changed and is always changing.Linguists are generally very positive about language evolution.There’s not one right way to communicate.We don’t speak the way Shakespeare did,and Shakespeare didn’t speak the way Chaucer did.But it’s unfortunate that this message hasn’t been conveyed to broader society as much because we’re still dealing with a history of people worshipping Latin.” 1.What’s McCulloch’s attitude towards Internet language? A.Cautious. B.Skeptical. C.Favourable. D.Indifferent. 2.Why does the author mention “Betty White” and “Grumpy Cat” in paragraph 3? A.To explain a rule. B.To clarify a point. C.To present a fact. D.To make a prediction. 3.What does McCulloch say about language? A.It should be more flexible. B.It is stable. C.It defines communication. D.It is dynamic. 4.What does the author want to convey in the text? A.Texting and e-mailing are signs of an evolving language. B.The fluidity of language makes communication difficult. C.The use of Internet language is constantly declining. D.People tend to communicate differently as they age. B When Roy Austin went on his first wildlife trip back in 2018,his only goal for the leisurely vacation was to catch sight of some African wildlife in its natural habitat—but he ended up finding something much more meaningful.He was most captivated (迷住) by the people he met in rural Kenya—particularly at the Amboseli Primary and Secondary School in Amboseli National Park. In addition to befriending many of the students and teachers,Austin was surprised to learn how difficult it was to get books and school supplies for the children.“In rural Kenya,the government does not build school buildings.You either build it yourself or raise money to have it built,” says Austin.“A teacher was asked if they had a library.She replied,‘No,but we would love to have a library.’ That stuck in my mind.” When Austin eventually returned to his home in Bluffton,South Carolina,he launched Libraries for Kids International.Since starting the charity,Austin has managed to ship more than 1,000 books to 11 schools across Kenya and Tanzania.He sends the books through the post office rather than FedEx to keep the shipping costs down. As it continues to collect books and donations for additional shipments,Austin says that the charity is now helping to move a shipping container of 22,000 books from Atlanta to Kenya.In the future,he hopes to start sending donations to South America as well. “Many people told me that it can’t be done.It’s too expensive to ship books,and they will disappear going through customs,” Austin says.“However,every worthwhile project will have problems and barriers.If you focus on the problems,you will never start.On the contrary,if you focus on the aim and solve the problems as they arise,almost anything is possible.” 5.What problem does Austin find in rural Kenya? A.Education depends on charity. B.Students lack education resources. C.Books get lost going through customs. D.Families can’t afford the kids’ schooling. 6.What does Austin do for the people in rural Kenya? A.He teaches at school. B.He funds a library for them. C.He reduces the shipping costs. D.He ships books to schools. 7.Which of the following best describes Austin? A.A crazy adventurer. B.A devoted educator. C.An enthusiastic philanthropist. D.A popular book-seller. 8.What can we learn from Austin’s story? A.Well begun,half done. B.Success belongs to the persevering. C.Every bit of effort makes a big difference. D.Nothing is difficult to a determined mind. C How do we learn a language?Suzanne Graham,Professor of Language and Education at the University of Reading,investigates how learners make sense of what they read or hear in a foreign language and how teachers can support their learning.Before she began this work,she studied French,German,Latin and Russian herself and became a language teacher,which sparked her curiosity in the process of language learning. Early in her academic career,Professor Graham analysed motivation levels among several hundred 16-to-19-year-olds who were learning French.Her study provided evidence of a relationship among students’ understanding of how to improve their learning,their confidence in their own ability,and their motivation to continue language study. Professor Graham went on to explore ways to improve strategies for learning French listening skills.She also examined how secondary school teachers thought about second-language listening,and how they taught it to Key Stage 3 (11-14 years old) pupils.Professor Graham embedded(把……嵌入) the outcomes of this research in a set of Principles for Practice,which she developed,along with supporting materials and tools.These are now helping teachers learn how to develop students’ listening skills in a more effective,research-informed way. Now,Professor Graham is leading the Language Learning strand of the Creative Multilingualism research programme,a large project involving several universities and partner organizations.Her own research for the programme is on Linguistic Creativity in Language Learning.It focuses on the development of literacy skills in foreign languages and learners’ motivation for and conceptions of language learning.For example,do people learn better when asked to give creative,personal and emotional responses than when they simply concentrate on grammar and vocabulary?Does this kind of teaching change learners’ levels of creativity?This ambitious project will,she says,help us to gain a better understanding of the creative dimension of linguistic (语言学的) diversity and the contribution it makes to our creative potential as human beings. 9.What can we learn about Suzanne Graham from the first paragraph? A.She is good at understanding what she reads. B.She has a gift for teaching foreign languages. C.She is very experienced in supporting her students’ learning. D.She has a strong interest in the process of language learning. 10.What is the second paragraph mainly about? A.The difference in motivation levels. B.Influencing factors in language learning. C.A link between confidence and motivation. D.Findings in Professor Graham’s early study. 11.How do Principles for Practice promote students’ language learning? A.By helping with students’ learning skills. B.By facilitating teachers’ teaching methods. C.By providing Professor Graham with materials. D.By examining pupils’ second-language listening. 12.Who may benefit most from Professor Graham’s present research? A.Research institutes. B.Linguistic universities. C.Language learners. D.Secondary school teachers. Ⅱ.七选五 Body language can reflect our confidence level.　1　 and another way when we’re nervous.At a glance (看一眼),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 It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation,it turns into a(n) 　1　.We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly my mother will push the 　2　 into the Third World War.She’ll talk about my lack of a bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor.And much to her 　3　,I don’t want to do any job related to science,　4　.In fact,when I said that I planned to 　5　 in English,she nearly had a heart attack.  “Why can’t you be like my co-worker’s son?” she shouts all the time.Her co-worker’s son 　6　 a four-year scholarship and is now 　7　 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer.I don’t know what to say except that I simply can’t be like Mr.Perfect as I’ve called the unnamed co-worker’s son.I can’t be like him.  I understand why my mother is 　8　 about my future major.I’ve seen my mother 　9　 to raise me on her small 　10　 and work long hours.She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes back home around 6:00 pm or even 7:00 pm.　11　 as she is,she still cooks supper for me and then does other housework 　12　 late into the night.Additionally,she never wears fancy clothes and expensive jewelry.  I am fully 　13　 that what my mother has done is out of her deep love for me.However,I want her to know that by becoming a(n) 　14　,it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful.I’d rather 　15　 my dreams and create my own future.  1.A.inspiration B.donation C.argument D.confidence 2.A.session B.conversation C.production D.version 3.A.disappointment B.routine C.performance D.determination 4.A.once B.never C.ever　 D.either 5.A.imagine B.describe C.major　 D.evaluate 6.A.forced B.received C.poured D.reminded 7.A.recovering B.trusting C.earning D.skipping

back C.catching up D.staying up 13.A.awkward B.aware C.unclear D.forgetful 14.A.doctor B.mother C.interviewer D.customer 15.A.pursue B.deny C.admit D.predict Ⅳ.语法填空 You probably have ever been warned against using certain hand gestures when 1.　　　　　　　(travel) abroad.The meanings of hand gestures differ so 2.　　　　　　(great) in different countries.But do you know the relationship between body language 3.　　　　　　 groups?  Mark Moffett,author of The Human Swarm,describes our need to belong to a certain group.We are 4.　　　　　　(safe) in a group than in one person.We trust them,they protect us,and they share 5.　　　　　　 same values and beliefs as us.We will even go to war to fight for our group.Humans attract those people 6.　　　　　　 are members of their own group.This is because we like to be able to predict the 7.　　　　　　(action) of others and belonging to a group enables this.  Outsiders to our group 8.　　　　　　(be) foreign and unknown.Therefore,they may be 9.(danger),unpredictable or threatening.So it is important to recognize these outsiders to our group.  There are many things helping us identify these strangers or outsiders — the clothes they wear and the way they speak.Now,experts know that their body language is also an indicator.In our ancestors’ times,knowing 10.　　　　　　 someone is a friend or foe (对手) could mean the difference between total annihilation (灭绝) of their family or the survival of their genes.  参考答案 Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章表达了作者对语言变化和互联网语言影响的观点和看法。 1.C　推理判断题。根据第一段以及第三段中的“Words can now be altogether replaced with emblems and icons,which helps explain the popularity of
