It is believed that doing team sports is the best way to teach cooperation In the team environment, members need to communicate with each other, which can prepare students for both schoolwork and future jobs. It can also encourage students to follow team rules. Students are more likely to help each other as well. Teamwork spirit is not born but built. Here are things you can do to improve teamwork spirit: Communicate well with each other When you’re meeting together, let everyone speak and listen to each other carefully.  Ask them questions to get them to talk so that everyone can communicate well with each other. Work together on projects Let everyone help make decisions about the project. Decide the team goal and divide the project into steps. Celebrate every win as a win for the whole team. Build trust and respect It’s okay to do something wrong, but bravely say sorry to make the situation better. This helps build trust in your team. Respect others’ work and encourage everyone to do better. Much of the work in today’s world is completed in teams. For students, team sports, singing in a chorus (合唱队) and joining in unpaid community service are the ways to learn about cooperation. 11．According to the passage, what’s the best way to teach cooperation? A． B． C． D． 12．Which of the following is helpful to improve team spirit? A．Let everyone speak and listen to each other carelessly. B．Divide the project into steps. C．Make decisions about the project alone. D．Listen to others’ opinions all the time. 13．What does the underlined word “unpaid” mean? A．Interesting. B．Boring. C．Meaningful. D．Free. 14．Which of the following is the structure of the passage?(P=Paragraph) A． B． C． D． 15．Whom is this passage mainly written for? A．Students. B．Teachers. C．Parents. D．Workers. B Why should we learn body language? In English classes, 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? Of course not! Actually, body language can convey many messages. Sometimes, we can communicate with others even without a single word. For example, shrugging our shoulders (耸肩), and without a word, we’ve just said, “I don’t know.” Body language can help us stress 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. Often, people who are lying do not make eye contact. They may raise their shoulders because they are uncomfortable with the conversation. In job interviews, the interviewers can sometimes judge the interviewee before he or she speaks. Body language is important in our personal life, too. It can show if you really care about your friends. Leaning (前倾) forward in 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 are waiting for your turn to speak. Scientists have been studying body language for a long time. They say more than 70 percent of our messages are given through body language. Sometimes, body language is more accurate than the words we use. So it is very important for us to learn body language. By understanding body language, we are less likely to be misunderstood. We will find it easier to get a job. We will also have lasting friendships. 16．According to the first paragraph, which of the following receives the least attention in English classes? A．Studying grammar. B．Learning new words. C．Improving reading skills. D．Practising using body language. 17．According to the passage, what may people do when they are lying? A．Lean forward B．Make eye contact. C．Raise their shoulders. D．Shrug their shoulders. 18．What does the underlined word “accurate” probably mean in Chinese? A．有趣的 B．精准的 C．模糊的 D．简短的 19．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? (① = Paragraph 1, ② = Paragraph 2, …) A．① / ②③ / ④⑤⑥ B．① / ②③④ / ⑤⑥ C．① / ②③④⑤ / ⑥ D．①② / ③④ / ⑤⑥ 20．What is the writing purpose of this passage? A．To teach readers to understand body language. B．To tell readers the importance of learning body language. C．To show readers how to find out if someone is lying. D．To help readers improve their English reading and listening skills. C “How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the USA greet (问候) each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”. Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?”, the other person might think, “No, I disagree. I think you’re wrong...” But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say “I’m not sure.” It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone. People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says “I’ve to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse: “Someone’s at the door.” The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person. Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don’t say exactly what they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s part of the game of language. 21．When a person in America asks “How are you?”, he or she wants to hear “________”. A．I don’t know. B．Fine. C．How are you? D．Hello. 22．When a person disagrees with someone, it is polite to say “________”. A．I’m not sure. B．You are wrong. I disagree. C．I’m sure I disagree. D．No, I disagree. 23．A polite way to finish a talk is to say “________”. A．You have to go now. B．I want to hang up. C．I have to go now. D．I don’t want to talk any more. 24．When a person says “I’ve to go now. Someone’s at the door.” the person may be ________. A．hurting someone’s feelings B．giving an excuse C．ill D．asking you a question 25．The rule of the game of language is probably ________. A．“Don’t disagree with people.” B．“Always say what you mean” C．“Never say exactly what you’re thinking.” D．“Be polite.” D The meaning of facial expressions is decided by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture, the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual. However, many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places. Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places, while some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is often used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile. Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not try “reading” people from another culture, because we would “read” someone from our own culture. In fact, members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as members of another do, which does not mean they do not experience emotions. For example, in public and in formal situations, many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly. Because of personal and cultural differences in the United States, it is difficult to conclude about Americans and facial expressiveness. In America, people from certain cultural backgrounds seem to be more facially expressive (表情丰富的) than others. Remember not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly. 26．In which culture is smiling at strangers in public often seen as unusual according to the passage? A．American culture. B．Southeast Asian culture. C．Russian culture. D．Vietnamese culture. 27．The underlined word “confusion” most likely means ________. A．misunderstanding B．understanding C．clear meaning D．happiness 28．The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ________. A．show friendliness to strangers B．be used to hide true feelings C．be used in the wrong places D．show personal habits 29．What should we do before trying “reading” people? A．Find out about their past experience. B．Learn about their relations with others. C．Understand their cultural backgrounds. D．Figure out what they will do next. 30．What is the main idea of the article? A．Facial expressions have the same meaning around the world. B．Smiling always means a person is happy. C．Americans are more expressive than all other cultures. D．The meaning of facial expressions depends on cultures, situations, and relationships. 三．阅读理解七选五（每小题2分，10分） 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。一空一句。 Imagine you have to spend an hour with a student you don’t know from another class. Maybe you’re going to take a test, or you’re waiting to see the head teacher. For some people, it’s difficult to start a conversation because you don’t know the person very well. For other people, it’s easy. 31 Talking to an older person can be even more difficult. For example, your parents’ friends or aunts, uncles or grandparents. Sometimes they ask all the questions and you only answer! 32 People like to talk about their experiences and to give an opinion about things. Group conversations are also difficult to manage sometimes, but it’s important to make sure everyone speaks! If you are a person who can talk easily, then think about the others in the group. 33 A simple “And you?” or “Why?” Or show interest — “Really?” When you are in a group and everyone is talking at the same time, it is sometimes hard to stop them, especially if you think this is not a polite thing to do. 34 Then other people know you have something to say. 35 A．We can all learn to have good conversations. B．They just say, for example, “How are you?” or “Are you nervous?” C．When you want to show your ideas, you can use “Excuse me, can I say something?” D．It is not easy to make friends with new students. E．To stop just answering questions, you can think of questions to ask the other person. F．Don’t be afraid to talk with your family members. G．If you notice one person is not speaking, then ask them a question. 四．选词填空（10分） 从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使文章完整连贯。注意每空一词，每词仅用一次，有两词为多余选项。 argue   impolite   parents   seriously   reality   with   we   communicate   many   solve   it   attention Parents are the most important persons in our lives. Good 36 can improve our relationships with them. It helps 37 understand each other better. Here are some things we should do when talking with our parents. First, sometimes our ideas are different from our 38 , but getting angry won’t help. So we should stay calm when this happens. For example, if they don’t agree 39 our plan to go out with friends, we shouldn’t 40 with them but talk to them calmly. Communicating calmly helps build healthy relationships. Second, we should take our parents’ words 41 . Our parents have 42 life experience than we do, and they may offer us good advice. When they speak, we should pay 43 to what they say. Don’t think about other things or look at our phones. It’s 44 to do so. Third, whatever happens, we should try to continue the conversation with our parents in a good way. Remember to say “sorry” if we are not right, and then we can talk about how to 45 the problem with our parents. If we follow these tips, we can build a closer and happier relationship with our parents. 五．语法填空（10分） 阅读下面短文，根据语境或所给单词的提示，在每个空格内填入一个恰当的词，要求所填的词意义准确、形式正确，使短文意思完整、行文连贯。 We interviewed June Galloway about 46 (she) new book Get Off on the Right Foot: Don’t Let the Wrong Gesture Ruin Your Day. ★ In your book, communicating with gestures 47 (pay) much attention to. Why is it so important? June: Well, gestures and other body language have different meanings in different places. What you consider friendly can be thought 48 (polite) in another culture. I’ve described many of such cultural differences in my book. 49 my readers meet people from different cultures, they won’t get off on the wrong foot. ★ Can someone 50 (serious) misunderstand others because of a wrong greeting? June: In some places, yes. The heavy handshake that a North American expects may seem rude in other places. And a light handshake—which is usual in some countries—seems unfriendly 51 a North American. ★ What other gestures can cause misunderstanding? June: Take 52 gesture “come here” for example. In North America, people gesture with the palm up. But in Southern Europe, that gesture means goodbye. And in many Asian countries, the palm-up gesture is rude, which 53 (show) no respect to others. In fact, people there gesture with the palm down. ★ I believe there are common 54 (gesture) used everywhere, right? Like the thumbs-up gesture for “great”? June: Sorry. That’s very rude in Australia and the Middle East. That is why it’s important 55 (know) about body language and cultural differences. 六．任务型阅读（10分） Volunteering in your neighborhood gives you a chance to give back. You’ll feel happy that you are volunteering your time. Teamwork makes the dream work. Working well with others is one of the important qualities that make a good volunteer. The best volunteers always work comfortably in ever-changing teams with people from all walks of life. They can take on both the leader and the follower roles in teamwork at different times. Patience is also one of the most important qualities of a good volunteer, because most charities and organizations may not always move as quickly as we think. It’s important to find volunteers who are glad to be patient and keep doing something. Many volunteer roles are physically and mentally exhausting (使身心俱疲的), so make sure your team is ready to do something. Some roles will be more physical than others. It is important to tell the volunteers about that. Don’t forget that one of the surprising good things of volunteering is that it’s good for both physical and mental health. Volunteers must step out of their comfort zone (舒适区) as they learn new skills and face new problems. They may also be volunteering with vulnerable (脆弱的) members who have experienced a difficult situation. So, it’s important to find volunteers who are kind and understanding. They will play an important part in the team. 56．What roles can volunteers take on in teamwork at different times? 57．Why is patience important for volunteers? 58．What good thing about volunteering is mentioned in Paragraph 4? 59．What must volunteers do when they learn new skills and face new problems? 60．What qualities do volunteers need if they work with vulnerable members? 七．书面表达（10分） 61．假设你们班刚刚来了一名来自澳大利亚的交换生David。请根据下面的内容提示，用英语写一篇短文告诉他关于肢体语言的注意事项。词数80左右，开头已给出，不计入总词数。 内容提示： （1）上课时要坐直，抬头……; （2）和别人交谈时，仔细聆听，最好面带微笑； （3）眼神交流很重要；但不要长时间看着对方的眼睛； （4）你的其他建议（至少一点）。 要求：要点齐全，条理清晰，语言通顺，不要逐字翻译，须适当发挥。 Body language in our country is a little different from that in your country. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司1 / 14 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… 此卷只装订不密封 ………………○………………内………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… ………………○………………外………………○………………装………………○………………订………………○………………线………………○……………… … 学校：______________姓名：_____________班级：_______________考号：______________________ 2025-2026学年八年级下册英语单元自测 Unit4·提升卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：90分钟，满分：100分） 一．完形填空（每小题1分，共10分） Tammy put on shorts and her favorite soccer T-shirt.

If you are a person who can talk easily, then think about the others in the group. 33 A simple “And you?” or “Why?” Or show interest — “Really?” When you are in a group and everyone is talking at the same time, it is sometimes hard to stop them, especially if you think this is not a polite thing to do. 34 Then other people know you have something to say. 35 A．We can all learn to have good conversations. B．They just say, for example, “How are you?” or “Are you nervous?” C．When you want to show your ideas, you can use “Excuse me, can I say something?” D．It is not easy to make friends with new students. E．To stop just answering questions, you can think of questions to ask the other person. F．Don’t be afraid to talk with your family members. G．If you notice one person is not speaking, then ask them a question. 四．选词填空（10分） 从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使文章完整连贯。注意每空一词，每词仅用一次，有两词为多余选项。 argue   impolite   parents   seriously   reality   with   we   communicate   many   solve   it   attention Parents are the most important persons in our lives.

Why is it so important? June: Well, gestures and other body language have different meanings in different places. What you consider friendly can be thought 48 (polite) in another culture. I’ve described many of such cultural differences in my book. 49 my readers meet people from different cultures, they won’t get off on the wrong foot. ★ Can someone 50 (serious) misunderstand others because of a wrong greeting? June: In some places, yes. The heavy handshake that a North American expects may seem rude in other places. And a light handshake—which is usual in some countries—seems unfriendly 51 a North American. ★ What other gestures can cause misunderstanding? June: Take 52 gesture “come here” for example. In North America, people gesture with the palm up. But in Southern Europe, that gesture means goodbye. And in many Asian countries, the palm-up gesture is rude, which 53 (show) no respect to others. In fact, people there gesture with the palm down. ★ I believe there are common 54 (gesture) used everywhere, right? Like the thumbs-up gesture for “great”? June: Sorry. That’s very rude in Australia and the Middle East. That is why it’s important 55 (know) about body language and cultural differences. 六．任务型阅读（10分） Volunteering in your neighborhood gives you a chance to give back. You’ll feel happy that you are volunteering your time. Teamwork makes the dream work. Working well with others is one of the important qualities that make a good volunteer. The best volunteers always work comfortably in ever-changing teams with people from all walks of life. They can take on both the leader and the follower roles in teamwork at different times. Patience is also one of the most important qualities of a good volunteer, because most charities and organizations may not always move as quickly as we think. It’s important to find volunteers who are glad to be patient and keep doing something. Many volunteer roles are physically and mentally exhausting (使身心俱疲的), so make sure your team is ready to do something. Some roles will be more physical than others. It is important to tell the volunteers about that. Don’t forget that one of the surprising good things of volunteering is that it’s good for both physical and mental health. Volunteers must step out of their comfort zone (舒适区) as they learn new skills and face new problems. They may also be volunteering with vulnerable (脆弱的) members who have experienced a difficult situation. So, it’s important to find volunteers who are kind and understanding. They will play an important part in the team. 56．What roles can volunteers take on in teamwork at different times? 57．Why is patience important for volunteers? 58．What good thing about volunteering is mentioned in Paragraph 4? 59．What must volunteers do when they learn new skills and face new problems? 60．What qualities do volunteers need if they work with vulnerable members? 七．书面表达（10分） 61．假设你们班刚刚来了一名来自澳大利亚的交换生David。请根据下面的内容提示，用英语写一篇短文告诉他关于肢体语言的注意事项。词数80左右，开头已给出，不计入总词数。 内容提示： （1）上课时要坐直，抬头……; （2）和别人交谈时，仔细聆听，最好面带微笑； （3）眼神交流很重要；但不要长时间看着对方的眼睛； （4）你的其他建议（至少一点）。 要求：要点齐全，条理清晰，语言通顺，不要逐字翻译，须适当发挥。 Body language in our country is a little different from that in your country. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试题 第3页（共8页） 试题 第4页（共8页） 试题 第1页（共8页） 试题 第2页（共8页） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年八年级下册英语单元自测 Unit4·提升卷 学校:___________班级：___________姓名：___________分数：___________ （时间：90分钟，满分：100分） 一．完形填空（每小题1分，共10分） 1．B 2．D 3．C 4．B 5．A 6．B 7．D 8．A 9．A 10．B 2． 阅读理解（每小题2分，共40分） A 11．C 12．B 13．D 14．A 15．A B 16．D 17．C 18．B 19．C 20．B C 21．B 22．A 23．C 24．B 25．D D 26．C 27．A 28．B 29．C 30．D 三．阅读理解七选五（每小题2分，10分） 31．B 32．E 33．G 34．C 35．A 四．选词填空（10分） 36．communication 37．us 38．parents’ 39．with 40．argue 41．seriously 42．more 43．attention 44．impolite 45．solve 五．语法填空（10分） 46．her 47．is paid 48．impolite 49．If/When 50．seriously 51．to 52．the 53．shows 54．gestures 55．to know 六．任务型阅读（10分） 56．The leader and the follower roles. 57．Because most charities and organizations may not always move quickly. 58．It is good for both physical and mental health. 59．They must step out of their comfort zone. 60．Kindness and understanding. 七．书面表达（10分） Body language in our country is a little different from that in your country.

By the end of the game, Tammy was out of breath for running so much. 2 the team tried hard, they lost by one goal. Tammy’s team played the next day. As usual, Tammy took control. “Erica! I’m open!” Erica passed the ball but Tammy 3 it. And the team was beaten again. Tammy was quite confused (困惑的) but she thought as a captain she should score as many goals as she could. A week later, Tammy saw the boy’s team playing on the playground. She noticed the captain Orlando often passed the ball to others and the team 4 . “You are really good at 5 the ball,” Tammy said to him after the game. “Yeah,” Orlando said. “Sharing is important in a team. The captain wants 6 to play his or her best.” Tammy had never thought of that. Now she knew she must change if her team wanted to win. The next morning, during practice, Tammy 7 watched the other players. She made a chart (表格) and listed 8 points of every player. She talked to the team, “We all have to play our best and help each other if we want to win.” She then went on explaining her 9 . At the next game, Tammy didn’t hog (独占) the ball.

It is believed that doing team sports is the best way to teach cooperation In the team environment, members need to communicate with each other, which can prepare students for both schoolwork and future jobs. It can also encourage students to follow team rules. Students are more likely to help each other as well. Teamwork spirit is not born but built. Here are things you can do to improve teamwork spirit: Communicate well with each other When you’re meeting together, let everyone speak and listen to each other carefully.  Ask them questions to get them to talk so that everyone can communicate well with each other. Work together on projects Let everyone help make decisions about the project. Decide the team goal and divide the project into steps. Celebrate every win as a win for the whole team. Build trust and respect It’s okay to do something wrong, but bravely say sorry to make the situation better. This helps build trust in your team. Respect others’ work and encourage everyone to do better. Much of the work in today’s world is completed in teams. For students, team sports, singing in a chorus (合唱队) and joining in unpaid community service are the ways to learn about cooperation. 11．According to the passage, what’s the best way to teach cooperation? A． B． C． D． 12．Which of the following is helpful to improve team spirit? A．Let everyone speak and listen to each other carelessly. B．Divide the project into steps. C．Make decisions about the project alone. D．Listen to others’ opinions all the time. 13．What does the underlined word “unpaid” mean? A．Interesting. B．Boring. C．Meaningful. D．Free. 14．Which of the following is the structure of the passage?(P=Paragraph) A． B． C． D． 15．Whom is this passage mainly written for? A．Students. B．Teachers. C．Parents. D．Workers. 【答案】11．C 12．B 13．D 14．A 15．A 【导语】本文主要讲述了合作在当今社会中的重要性，特别是在学校教育中如何培养团队精神。 11．第一段“It is believed that doing team sports is the best way to teach cooperation.”指出团队运动是教授合作的最佳方式。C图片是一种团队运动。 12．根据“Work together on projects”部分中的“divide the project into steps.”可知，将项目分解成步骤有助于提升团队精神。 13．根据上下文“unpaid community service”可知，unpaid意为“无报酬的”，与free(免费的)含义最接近。 14．文章结构为：首段提出合作的重要性及团队运动的作用，随后第二三四段列举三种提升团队精神的方法（沟通、协作项目、建立信任），最后一段总结团队合作在现实中的体现。所以选项A符合文章结构。 15．最后一段“For students, team sports, ... to learn about cooperation.”直接指出本篇文章主要针对学生群体。 B Why should we learn body language? In English classes, 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? Of course not! Actually, body language can convey many messages. Sometimes, we can communicate with others even without a single word. For example, shrugging our shoulders (耸肩), and without a word, we’ve just said, “I don’t know.” Body language can help us stress 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. Often, people who are lying do not make eye contact. They may raise their shoulders because they are uncomfortable with the conversation. In job interviews, the interviewers can sometimes judge the interviewee before he or she speaks. Body language is important in our personal life, too. It can show if you really care about your friends. Leaning (前倾) forward in 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 are waiting for your turn to speak. Scientists have been studying body language for a long time. They say more than 70 percent of our messages are given through body language. Sometimes, body language is more accurate than the words we use. So it is very important for us to learn body language. By understanding body language, we are less likely to be misunderstood. We will find it easier to get a job. We will also have lasting friendships. 16．According to the first paragraph, which of the following receives the least attention in English classes? A．Studying grammar. B．Learning new words. C．Improving reading skills. D．Practising using body language. 17．According to the passage, what may people do when they are lying? A．Lean forward B．Make eye contact. C．Raise their shoulders. D．Shrug their shoulders. 18．What does the underlined word “accurate” probably mean in Chinese? A．有趣的 B．精准的 C．模糊的 D．简短的 19．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage? (① = Paragraph 1, ② = Paragraph 2, …) A．① / ②③ / ④⑤⑥ B．① / ②③④ / ⑤⑥ C．① / ②③④⑤ / ⑥ D．①② / ③④ / ⑤⑥ 20．What is the writing purpose of this passage? A．To teach readers to understand body language. B．To tell readers the importance of learning body language. C．To show readers how to find out if someone is lying. D．To help readers improve their English reading and listening skills. 【答案】16．D 17．C 18．B 19．C 20．B 【导语】本文主要说明了学习肢体语言的重要性。文章指出肢体语言能够传递信息、辅助表达、识别谎言，并在求职和人际交往中发挥重要作用，因此应重视对肢体语言的学习。 16．根据第一段中“We work hard to improve our reading and listening skills. Few of us, however, pay enough attention to body language.”可知，我们努力学习阅读和听力技巧，但很少有人足够关注肢体语言。因此，在英语课上最不受重视的是肢体语言的练习。 17．根据第三段中“Often, people who are lying do not make eye contact. They may raise their shoulders because they are uncomfortable with the conversation.”可知，人们在说谎时可能不会进行眼神交流，并且可能会抬起肩膀。 18．根据画线词所在句“Sometimes, body language is more accurate than the words we use.”并结合前文提到肢体语言能识别谎言等可知，肢体语言有时比我们使用的语言更“准确”。因此accurate意为“精准的”。 19．文章第一段引出肢体语言不受重视的话题；第二至五段分别介绍肢体语言的功能、在求职和日常交往中的作用、科学家的相关研究；第六段总结学习肢体语言的重要性。结构为①/②③④⑤/⑥。 20．根据最后一段中“So it is very important for us to learn body language. By understanding body language...”以及全文内容可知，文章旨在说明学习肢体语言的重要性。 C “How are you?” is a nice question. It’s a friendly way that people in the USA greet (问候) each other. But “How are you?” is also a very unusual question. It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer. The person who asks “How are you?” hopes to hear the answer “Fine”, even if the person’s friend isn’t fine. The reason is that “How are you?” isn’t really a question and “Fine” isn’t really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying “Hello” or “Hi”. Sometimes, people also don’t say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks “Do you agree?”, the other person might think, “No, I disagree. I think you’re wrong...” But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say “I’m not sure.” It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone. People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says “I’ve to go now.” Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse: “Someone’s at the door.” The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want to talk any more, but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn’t hurt the other person. Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don’t say exactly what they are thinking. It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it’s part of the game of language. 21．When a person in America asks “How are you?”, he or she wants to hear “________”. A．I don’t know. B．Fine. C．How are you? D．Hello. 22．When a person disagrees with someone, it is polite to say “________”. A．I’m not sure. B．You are wrong. I disagree. C．I’m sure I disagree. D．No, I disagree. 23．A polite way to finish a talk is to say “________”. A．You have to go now. B．I want to hang up. C．I have to go now. D．I don’t want to talk any more. 24．When a person says “I’ve to go now. Someone’s at the door.” the person may be ________. A．hurting someone’s feelings B．giving an excuse C．ill D．asking you a question 25．The rule of the game of language is probably ________. A．“Don’t disagree with people.” B．“Always say what you mean” C．“Never say exactly what you’re thinking.” D．“Be polite.” 【答案】21．B 22．A 23．C 24．B 25．D 【导语】本文介绍了英语语言中的委婉社交礼仪，讲解了美国人日常问候、表达不同意见、结束对话时的礼貌沟通习惯，点明语言交流的核心社交原则。 21．第一段原文：“The person who asks ‘How are you?’ hopes to hear the answer ‘Fine’”。所以Fine是想听到的答案。 22．第二段原文：“it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say ‘I’m not sure.’”，所以I’m not sure.是礼貌的方式。 23．第三段原文：“many talks over the phone finish when one person says ‘I’ve to go now.’”，所以I have to go now.是礼貌的方式。 24．第三段原文：“Often, the person who wants to hang up gives an excuse: ‘Someone’s at the door.’”。这是在给出一个委婉 “借口”。 25．第四段原文：“It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other,” 全文都在强调人际交往中“保持礼貌”的核心。 D The meaning of facial expressions is decided by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture, the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual. However, many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places. Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places, while some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is often used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile. Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not try “reading” people from another culture, because we would “read” someone from our own culture. In fact, members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as members of another do, which does not mean they do not experience emotions. For example, in public and in formal situations, many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly. Because of personal and cultural differences in the United States, it is difficult to conclude about Americans and facial expressiveness. In America, people from certain cultural backgrounds seem to be more facially expressive (表情丰富的) than others. Remember not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly. 26．In which culture is smiling at strangers in public often seen as unusual according to the passage? A．American culture. B．Southeast Asian culture. C．Russian culture. D．Vietnamese culture. 27．The underlined word “confusion” most likely means ________. A．misunderstanding B．understanding C．clear meaning D．happiness 28．The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ________. A．show friendliness to strangers B．be used to hide true feelings C．be used in the wrong places D．show personal habits 29．What should we do before trying “reading” people? A．Find out about their past experience. B．Learn about their relations with others. C．Understand their cultural backgrounds. D．Figure out what they will do next. 30．What is the main idea of the article? A．Facial expressions have the same meaning around the world. B．Smiling always means a person is happy. C．Americans are more expressive than all other cultures. D．The meaning of facial expressions depends on cultures, situations, and relationships. 【答案】26．C 27．A 28．B 29．C 30．D 【导语】本文讲述面部表情的含义受情境、人际关系和文化差异影响，不同国家微笑及情感表达习惯不同，不能用自身文化习惯去误判他人表情。 26．第二段“many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual”，直接对应俄罗斯文化。 27．后文举例俄美对微笑的看法不一样，容易产生误解，confusion意为“误解、困惑”。 28．第二段“a smile is often used to cover painful feelings”，举越南人讲悲伤故事却以微笑结尾的例子，证明微笑可掩饰真实情绪。 29．第三段说明不能用自己的文化习惯去解读其他文化的人，要先了解他们的文化背景。 30．文章首句点明主旨：面部表情的含义取决于情境、人际关系和文化，后文围绕这一点展开论述。 三．阅读理解七选五（每小题2分，10分） 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。一空一句。 Imagine you have to spend an hour with a student you don’t know from another class. Maybe you’re going to take a test, or you’re waiting to see the head teacher. For some people, it’s difficult to start a conversation because you don’t know the person very well. For other people, it’s easy. 31 Talking to an older person can be even more difficult. For example, your parents’ friends or aunts, uncles or grandparents. Sometimes they ask all the questions and you only answer! 32 People like to talk about their experiences and to give an opinion about things. Group conversations are also difficult to manage sometimes, but it’s important to make sure everyone speaks! If you are a person who can talk easily, then think about the others in the group. 33 A simple “And you?” or “Why?” Or show interest — “Really?” When you are in a group and everyone is talking at the same time, it is sometimes hard to stop them, especially if you think this is not a polite thing to do. 34 Then other people know you have something to say. 35 A．We can all learn to have good conversations. B．They just say, for example, “How are you?” or “Are you nervous?” C．When you want to show your ideas, you can use “Excuse me, can I say something?” D．It is not easy to make friends with new students. E．To stop just answering questions, you can think of questions to ask the other person. F．Don’t be afraid to talk with your family members. G．If you notice one person is not speaking, then ask them a question. 【答案】31．B 32．E 33．G 34．C 35．A 【导语】本文介绍了与陌生人、长辈及群体进行有效对话的方法，旨在帮助读者提升沟通技巧。 31．上文提到“For other people, it’s easy.”，空处应是容易开启对话的人相关内容，选项B“They just say, for example, ‘How are you?’ or ‘Are you nervous?’”，举例说明了“容易开启对话的人”的具体做法，与上文衔接自然，符合语境。 32．上文提到“Sometimes they ask all the questions and you only answer!”，选项E“To stop just answering questions, you can think of questions to ask the other person.”，承接上文“只回答问题”的困境，给出解决方法，下文“People like to talk about their experiences...”也印证了提问能引导对方交流，衔接合理。 33．上文提到“then think about the others in the group”，选项G“If you notice one person is not speaking, then ask them a question.”，承接“考虑他人”的建议，下文的“And you?”“Why?”正是提问引导他人发言的具体方式，前后呼应。 34．上文提到“it is sometimes hard to stop them, especially if you think this is not a polite thing to do”，选项C“When you want to show your ideas, you can use ‘Excuse me, can I say something?’”，给出了礼貌打断他人、表达观点的方法，下文“Then other people know you have something to say”也印证了该做法的效果，衔接合理。 35．文章前文分别介绍了与陌生人、长辈、群体对话的技巧，选项A“We can all learn to have good conversations.”作为总结句，收束全文，点明主旨，符合语境。 四．选词填空（10分） 从方框中选择适当的词并用其正确形式填空，使文章完整连贯。注意每空一词，每词仅用一次，有两词为多余选项。 argue   impolite   parents   seriously   reality   with   we   communicate   many   solve   it   attention Parents are the most important persons in our lives. Good 36 can improve our relationships with them. It helps 37 understand each other better. Here are some things we should do when talking with our parents. First, sometimes our ideas are different from our 38 , but getting angry won’t help. So we should stay calm when this happens. For example, if they don’t agree 39 our plan to go out with friends, we shouldn’t 40 with them but talk to them calmly. Communicating calmly helps build healthy relationships.
