Unit 4 Body Language 肢体语言 单元阅读精练 Imagine walking into a room filled with strangers. You haven’t spoken a word. You haven’t heard one either, yet something is already being said. This is not magic. It’s the mind’s secret language. It’s the quiet feeling that stays with every talk we have. Human beings are language-related creatures, but long before you learned to talk, you were already a master of silent communication. The ability to sense others is the basis of human connection. Most of the emotional information we send and receive doesn’t come through what we say—it comes through how we behave. Body language is the silent symphony （交响乐） of every social interaction. Charles Darwin pointed out that emotions like fear, anger, joy and sadness are expressed similarly across cultures — and he was right. Paul Ekman’s research later showed that six basic emotions are universally recognized. But the face is just the start. The rest of the body plays too. Crossed arms can signal defensiveness. Leaning in can show interest. Tapping feet may reveal anxiety. And often, your body gives away what your words are trying to hide. These signals operate below the level of conscious control. It’s fast. And often, more truthful than speech. The eyes have long been called the window to the soul—and it has recently been proven by studies. Eye contact starts chains of brain processes tied to attention, trust, and understanding. Eye contact increases connection, improves cooperation, and increases persuasion. But different cultures explain it differently—what feels honest in one culture may seem unfriendly in another. We live in a world filled with words. Still, we must ask: What happens when we over-depend on words and ignore the unspoken? Actually, to reconnect, we must look up, lean in, watch more than we speak and listen not just to what is said, but to what is felt. When we become fluent in the mind’s secret language, we don’t just connect more. We understand more. And that understanding is the beginning of healing, of creation, of peace. 【译文欣赏】 试想你走进一间满是陌生人的屋子。你一言未发，旁人也未曾开口，可无形的交流已然发生。这并非什么魔法，而是大脑独有的隐秘语言，是每一次交谈中挥之不去的微妙情绪。人类本就是依赖语言生存的生物，但早在学会开口说话之前，我们就已是无声交流的高手。感知他人的能力，是人与人建立联结的根基。 我们传递、接收的绝大多数情绪信息，并非来自口头话语，而是源于行为举止。肢体语言，是所有社交互动中无声的交响乐。查尔斯・达尔文曾提出，恐惧、愤怒、喜悦、悲伤这类情绪，在不同文化中的表达方式大同小异 —— 而他的观点不无道理。保罗・艾克曼后续的研究证实，六种基础情绪是全人类都能识别的。 但面部表情仅仅是开端，身体其余部位同样会传递信号：双臂交叉，代表心存戒备；身体前倾，意味着产生兴趣；不停跺脚，多半流露焦虑。很多时候，身体会无意间暴露你言语试图掩饰的心事。这类肢体信号不受主观意识控制，转瞬即逝，却往往比口头话语更加真实。 长久以来，人们都说眼睛是心灵的窗户，近期各类研究也印证了这一点。眼神接触会触发大脑一系列与注意力、信任感、共情理解相关的活动。目光交汇能拉近人际距离、提升协作效率、增强说服力。不过不同文化对眼神交流的解读截然不同：在一种文化里代表坦诚的直视，换一种文化或许会被视作无礼。 我们身处一个话语泛滥的世界，但不妨自问：倘若我们过度依赖语言，忽略那些未曾说出口的信号，又会失去什么？事实上，想要重新建立深度联结，我们应当抬起头、主动靠近对方，多观察少诉说；倾听时不只留意字面内容，更要捕捉背后的情绪。当我们熟练掌握这套心灵的隐秘语言，人与人之间的联结会更加紧密，彼此的理解也会更加深刻。而这份理解，是治愈伤痛、迸发创造力、收获平和的起点。 【词汇积累】 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ ( 1 / 29 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1. silent communication 无声交流 2. human connection 人际联结 3. body language 肢体语言 4. conscious control 主观意识控制 5. give away 泄露，暴露 6. eye contact 眼神交流，目光接触 7. over-depend on 过度依赖 8. the unspoken 未说出口的情绪 / 潜台词 9. fluent in … 熟练掌握…… 10. the window to the soul 心灵之窗 【高考模拟真题链接】 （2026·四川绵阳·模拟预测）As someone who studies communication, I’d noticed how some speakers seemed instantly clearer when they gestured. This made me wonder: Do gestures actually make communicators more effective? The short answer is yes, but only when the gestures visually represent the idea you’re talking about. Researchers call these movements “illustrators”. When talking about distance, you might spread your hands apart while saying something is“farther away”. When explaining how two concepts relate, you might bring your hands together while saying“these ideas fit together”. When describing how the market demand “is going up and down”, you could visually show a wave shape with your hands. To study gestures at scale, my team and I analyzed 200,000 video segments (片段) from more than 2,000 TED talks using AI tools that can detect and classify hand gestures frame by frame. We paired this with controlled experiments in which our study participants evaluated entrepreneurs (创业者) presenting a product. The same pattern of results appeared in both settings. In the AI-analyzed TED Talk data, illustrative gestures predicted higher audience evaluations, reflected in more than 33 million online“likes” of the videos. And in our experiments, 1,600 participants rated speakers who used illustrative gestures as more clear, competent and persuasive. What I found is that these gestures give listeners a visual shortcut to your meaning. They make abstract ideas feel more concrete, helping listeners build a mental picture of what you’re saying. This makes the message feel easier to process — a phenomenon psychologists call “processing fluency”. And we found that when ideas feel easier to grasp, people tend to see the speaker as more competent and persuasive. But not all gestures help. Movements that don’t match the message — like random waving, fidgeting (坐立不安) or pointing to things in the space — offer no such benefit. In some cases, they can even distract. A practical takeaway: Focus on clarity over planned gestures. Think about where your hands naturally illustrate what you’re saying — emphasizing size, direction or emotion — and let them move with purpose. 1．Why are the examples mentioned in paragraph 1? A．To compare different types of gestures. B．To show how gestures reflect spoken ideas. C．To explain why gestures attract attention. D．To list common mistakes in public speaking. 2．How did the researchers conduct the study? A．By reviewing talks and testing audiences. B．By judging the overall quality of talks. C．By collecting online likes for some talks. D．By attending many live TED talks. 3．What can be inferred about listeners when speakers use illustrative gestures? A．They give priority to visual meaning. B．They notice more gestures than content. C．They judge the speaker more favorably. D．They show less interest in abstract ideas. 4．What is the author’s suggestion to speakers? A．Designing some gestures in advance. B．Keeping gestures purposeful and relevant. C．Reducing gestures to avoid distraction. D．Focusing on the frequency of gestures. 【答案】1．B 2．A 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了手势在沟通中的作用，通过研究和分析表明，与所表达内容相匹配的说明性手势能提升沟通效果，使演讲者显得更有能力且更具说服力，同时作者也给出了关于使用手势的建议。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“As someone who studies communication, I’d noticed how some speakers seemed instantly clearer when they gestured. This made me wonder: Do gestures actually make communicators more effective? The short answer is yes, but only when the gestures visually represent the idea you’re talking about. Researchers call these movements “illustrators”. When talking about distance, you might spread your hands apart while saying something is “farther away”. When explaining how two concepts relate, you might bring your hands together while saying “these ideas fit together”. When describing how the market demand “is going up and down”, you could visually show a wave shape with your hands. (作为一名研究沟通的人，我注意到一些演讲者在做手势时似乎立刻变得更清晰了。这让我思考：手势真的能让沟通者更有效吗？简短的回答是肯定的，但前提是手势在视觉上代表了你正在谈论的想法。研究人员称这些动作为“说明性手势”。当谈论距离时，你可能会在说“更远”时将双手分开。当解释两个概念之间的关系时，你可能会在说“这些想法很契合”时将双手合在一起。当描述市场需求“上下波动”时，你可以用手直观地展示波浪形状。)”可知，第一段通过举例说明手势在视觉上代表了所谈论的想法，即展示了手势如何反映口语表达的内容。故选B项。 2．细节理解题。根据第二段“To study gestures at scale, my team and I analyzed 200,000 video segments (片段) from more than 2,000 TED talks using AI tools that can detect and classify hand gestures frame by frame. We paired this with controlled experiments in which our study participants evaluated entrepreneurs (创业者) presenting a product. (为了大规模研究手势，我和我的团队使用可以逐帧检测和分类手势的人工智能工具，分析了2000多场TED演讲中的20万个视频片段。我们将其与对照实验相结合，在实验中，我们的研究参与者对展示产品的创业者进行了评估。)”以及第三段“The same pattern of results appeared in both settings. In the AI-analyzed TED Talk data, illustrative gestures predicted higher audience evaluations, reflected in more than 33 million online “likes” of the videos. And in our experiments, 1,200 participants rated speakers who used illustrative gestures as more clear, competent and persuasive. (在两种情况下都出现了相同的结果模式。在人工智能分析的TED演讲数据中，说明性手势预示着更高的观众评价，反映在超过3300万个视频在线“点赞”上。在我们的实验中，1200名参与者认为使用说明性手势的演讲者更清晰、更有能力、更有说服力。)”可知，研究人员通过回顾演讲和测试观众来开展研究。故选A项。 3．推理判断题。根据第三段“And in our experiments, 1,600 participants rated speakers who used illustrative gestures as more clear, competent and persuasive. (在我们的实验中，1600名参与者认为使用说明性手势的演讲者更清晰、更有能力、更有说服力。)”可知，当演讲者使用说明性手势时，听众对演讲者的评价更积极，即听众对演讲者的判断更有利。故选C项。 4．细节理解题。根据最后一段“A practical takeaway: Focus on clarity over planned gestures. Think about where your hands naturally illustrate what you’re saying — emphasizing size, direction or emotion — and let them move with purpose. (一个实用的收获：注重清晰度，而不是预先计划好的手势。想想你的手自然地说明了你所说的话——强调大小、方向或情感——让它们有目的地移动。)”可知，作者建议演讲者让手势自然阐释所说内容，保持手势的目的性和相关性。故选B项。 ( 长难句 1 原句：To study gestures at scale, my team and I analyzed 200,000 video segments from more than 2,000 TED talks using AI tools that can detect and classify hand gestures frame by frame. 句子结构拆解 1. 目的状语：To study gestures at scale（为大规模研究手势） 2. 主句主干：my team and I analyzed 200,000 video segments 3. 后置定语 1：from more than 2,000 TED talks 修饰 video segments 4. 伴随状语：using AI tools（现在分词表方式，说明分析所用工具） 5. 定语从句：that can detect and classify hand gestures frame by frame，修饰先行词 AI tools 翻译 为了大规模研究手势，我和团队借助人工智能工具分析了 2000 多场 TED 演讲中的 20 万个视频片段，该工具能够逐帧识别并对手势进行分类。 长难句 2 原句：What I found is that these gestures give listeners a visual shortcut to your meaning.

Scientists at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) say that wearing your heart on your face could actually give you a significant social advantage. The study, led by Eithne Kavanagh, a research fellow at NTU’s School of Social Sciences, involving over 1,300 participants, noticed striking variations in how much people moved their faces during conversations. Importantly, this expressiveness emerged as a stable individual quality. People displayed similar levels of facial expressiveness across different contexts, with different social partners, and even over time periods up to four months. The researchers say that facial expressiveness is linked to personality, with more agreeable individuals displaying more lively faces. Facial expressiveness can also translate into concrete social benefits. In a negotiation (谈判) task, more expressive individuals are more likely to secure a larger slice of a reward. The researchers suggest that agreeable, dynamic facial expressions may serve as a tool for building good relationships and smoothing over conflicts. Across the board, the results point to facial expressiveness serving an “affiliative (有亲和力的) function”, or a social glue that develops liking and smoother interactions. Expressiveness is also linked to being seen as more “readable”, suggesting that a lively face makes one’s intentions and mental states easier for others to interpret. Beyond frequency of facial movements, people who employ facial expressions more strategically to suit social goals, such as looking friendly in a greeting, are also more well-liked. The findings challenge the “poker face” common belief that a still and unemotional appearance is always most advantageous. Instead, they suggest that for most people, allowing one’s face to mirror inner states and intentions can invite warmer reactions. As the researchers conclude, “Being facially expressive is socially advantageous.” So, next time you catch yourself making lines on your forehead, or flashing a smile, know that your face just might be working on your behalf. 1．How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph? A．By making a comparison. B．By giving an example. C．By providing a definition. D．By listing statistics. 2．What may facial expressiveness act as in negotiation settings? A．A method to hide personality. B．A way to frighten competitors. C．A strategy to settle disagreement. D．A tool to show personal qualities. 3．What is a common misunderstanding about “poker face” according to the passage? A．It helps people gain more trust during negotiations. B．It makes a person appear more friendly and approachable. C．It is often a very beneficial way to present oneself. D．It is a skill that can be easily learned through practice. 4．What may the author advise based on the findings of the study? A．Always wearing a still face. B．Learning to be an open book. C．Speaking out inner emotions. D．Forcing a smile through tears. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．C 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于面部表情表达力的研究，研究发现面部表情丰富的人更容易获得社交优势，挑战了“扑克脸”更有益的传统观念。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Are you an open book, your face broadcasting every passing emotion, or more of a “poker face”, not showing what you are feeling? Scientists at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) say that wearing your heart on your face could actually give you a significant social advantage.(你是一本打开的书，脸上流露着每一种情感，还是更像“扑克脸”，不表露自己的感受？诺丁汉特伦特大学的科学家表示，把你的情绪表露在脸上，实际上可能会给你带来显著的社交优势)”可知，作者通过对比“情绪外露”和“面无表情”这两种类型来引入话题。故选A项。 2．细节理解题。根据第三段中“In a negotiation (谈判) task, more expressive individuals are more likely to secure a larger slice of a reward. The researchers suggest that agreeable, dynamic facial expressions may serve as a tool for building good relationships and smoothing over conflicts. (在谈判任务中，表情更丰富的人更有可能获得更大份额的奖励。研究人员认为，友善、生动的面部表情可能成为建立良好关系和化解冲突的工具)”可知，在谈判环境中，面部表情表达力是化解冲突的工具，可以作为化解分歧的策略。故选C项。 3．细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The findings challenge the “poker face” common belief that a still and unemotional appearance is always most advantageous. (这些发现挑战了“扑克脸”这一普遍观念，即静止、不带情绪的外表总是最有利的)”可知，关于“扑克脸”的一个常见误解是它是一种非常有益的自我表现方式。故选C项。 4．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Instead, they suggest that for most people, allowing one’s face to mirror inner states and intentions can invite warmer reactions. (相反，研究表明，对大多数人来说，让面部表情反映内心状态和意图可以引发更温暖的回应)”以及“Being facially expressive is socially advantageous. (面部表情丰富在社交上是有利的)”可知，基于研究结果，作者可能会建议人们学会做一本“打开的书”，即情绪外露、表情丰富。故选B项。 Passage 2 （25-26高二下·浙江·期中）Kissing is one of the most intimate (亲密的) human behaviours, yet its origins remain surprisingly mysterious. But why do humans kiss? Historically, kissing has held different meanings across cultures, with the earliest recorded human kiss documented in ancient Mesopotamian texts dating back to 2500 BCE. The ancient Romans had three distinct types of kiss: the osculum, a social kiss on the cheek; the basium, a platonic kiss on the lips shared between partners or family; and the savium, a passionate kiss between lovers. Clearly, kissing has long been more than just a romantic gesture. Despite its popularity, kissing is by no means universal. A study of 168 cultures published in American Anthropologist in 2015 found that only 46 percent practised romantic lip kissing. In cultures that don’t kiss, intimacy is expressed differently. Interestingly, when on his travels, Charles Darwin, described the Malay kiss, where people squat and smell each other’s scent, suggesting that smell may play a role in human intimacy. Can biology help us understand why we kiss? Research suggests that kissing serves a biological bonding function, as it triggers the release of oxytocin, a hormone linked to trust and attachment. Oxytocin helps reduce stress and fosters feelings of closeness, strengthening connections between romantic partners. Besides, evolutionary theories suggest that lip-to-lip kissing may have its roots in early maternal (母系的) behaviours, like mothers chewed food before transferring it to their baby’s mouth. This practice, still observed among chimpanzees, may have laid the foundation for lip contact as a signal of care and bonding. However, a recent theory proposed by evolutionary psychologist Dr Adriano Lameira suggests that kissing may have instead evolved from grooming (梳理毛发) behaviours. In primates, grooming often ends with mouth contact. As humans gradually lost body hair, Lameira suggests that the function of grooming diminished, leading to shorter grooming time, eventually leaving the final lip-to-lip kiss as a lasting gesture of affection. Seemingly, kissing is a complex behaviour shaped by our ancient ancestors, fulfilling a deep human need for connection. 1．Why does the author mention ancient Romans’ kissing in paragraph 2? A．To prove kissing originated in ancient Rome. B．To illustrate kissing has various social meanings. C．To show romantic kissing is the most important type. D．To highlight kissing has been simply a romantic gesture. 2．Which of the following do evolutionary theories suggest? A．Kissing is universally practiced across cultures. B．Kissing is intended to strengthen romantic bonds. C．Kissing may have feeding and grooming origins. D．Kissing has developed from maternal behaviours. 3．What does the underlined word “diminished” in paragraph 6 mean? A．Enhanced. B．Declined. C．Disappeared. D．Expanded. 4．How is the text developed? A．Opinion→Evidence→Summary B．Question→Argument→Application C．Question→Exploration→Conclusion D．Phenomenon→Argument→Conclusion 【答案】1．B 2．C 3．B 4．C 【导语】本文主要探讨了人类接吻这一行为的起源、文化差异、生物学解释以及进化理论，揭示了接吻作为一种复杂行为背后的深层原因。 1．推理判断题。根据第二段“The ancient Romans had three distinct types of kiss: the osculum, a social kiss on the cheek; the basium, a platonic kiss on the lips shared between partners or family; and the savium, a passionate kiss between lovers. Clearly, kissing has long been more than just a romantic gesture. (古罗马人有三种不同类型的吻：osculum，脸颊上的社交之吻；basium，伴侣或家人之间分享的柏拉图式唇吻；以及savium，恋人之间充满激情的吻。显然，接吻早已不仅仅是一种浪漫的姿态。)”可知，作者提到古罗马人的接吻方式是为了说明接吻在不同情境下有不同的社会意义。 2．细节理解题。根据第五段“Besides, evolutionary theories suggest that lip-to-lip kissing may have its roots in early maternal (母系的) behaviours, like mothers chewed food before transferring it to their baby’s mouth. (此外，进化理论表明，唇对唇接吻可能源于早期的母性行为，比如母亲在把食物喂到婴儿嘴里之前会先咀嚼食物。)”和第六段“However, a recent theory proposed by evolutionary psychologist Dr Adriano Lameira suggests that kissing may have instead evolved from grooming (梳理毛发) behaviours. In primates, grooming often ends with mouth contact. (然而，进化心理学家阿德里亚诺·拉梅拉博士最近提出的一种理论认为，接吻可能是从梳理行为进化而来的。在灵长类动物中，梳理行为常常以嘴接触结束。)”可知，进化理论表明接吻可能有喂养和梳理毛发的起源。故选C项。 3．词句猜测题。根据第六段划线词所在句子“As humans gradually lost body hair, Lameira suggests that the function of grooming diminished, leading to shorter grooming time, eventually leaving the final lip-to-lip kiss as a lasting gesture of affection. (随着人类逐渐失去体毛，拉梅拉认为梳理毛发的功能diminished，导致梳理时间缩短，最终留下最后的唇对唇接吻作为持久的爱意表示。)”可知，随着人类逐渐失去体毛，梳理毛发的作用应该是减弱了，所以梳理时间才缩短，最终留下最后的唇对唇接吻作为持久的爱意表示，所以diminished意为“减弱”。A. Enhanced增强；B. Declined减弱；C. Disappeared消失；D. Expanded扩大。 4．推理判断题。根据第一段“But why do humans kiss? (但是人类为什么要接吻呢？)”可知，文章以一个问题开头，即人类为什么要接吻；根据第二段“Historically, kissing has held different meanings across cultures (从历史上看，接吻在不同文化中有着不同的含义)”、第三段“Despite its popularity, kissing is by no means universal. (尽管接吻很受欢迎，但它绝不是普遍的。)”、第四段“Can biology help us understand why we kiss? (生物学能帮助我们理解人类为什么要接吻吗？)”、第五段“Besides, evolutionary theories suggest that lip-to-lip kissing may have its roots in early maternal (母系的) behaviours (此外，进化理论表明，唇对唇接吻可能源于早期的母性行为)”和第六段“However, a recent theory proposed by evolutionary psychologist Dr Adriano Lameira suggests that kissing may have instead evolved from grooming (梳理毛发) behaviours. (然而，进化心理学家阿德里亚诺·拉梅拉博士最近提出的一种理论认为，接吻可能是从梳理行为进化而来的。)”可知，文章接下来对这一问题进行了探索，包括文化差异、生物学解释和进化理论；再根据最后一段“Seemingly, kissing is a complex behaviour shaped by our ancient ancestors, fulfilling a deep human need for connection. (显然，接吻是一种由我们古代祖先塑造的复杂行为，满足了人类对联系的深层需求。)”可知，文章最后得出了结论，即接吻是一种复杂的行为，由我们的古代祖先塑造，满足了人类对联系的深层需求。因此，文章的结构是问题→探索→结论。 Passage 3 （25-26高二下·河南南阳·阶段检测）As someone who studies communication, I’ve noticed how some speakers seemed instantly clearer when they gestured. This made me wonder: Do gestures actually make communicators more effective? The short answer is yes, but only when the gestures visually represent the idea you’re talking about. Researchers call these movements “illustrators”. When talking about distance, you might spread your hands apart while saying something is “farther away”. When explaining how two concepts relate, you might bring your hands together while saying “these ideas fit together.” When describing how the market demand “is going up and down”, you could visually show a wave shape with your hands. To study gestures at scale, my team and I analyzed 200, 000 video segments from more than 2,000 TED talks using AI tools that can detect and classify hand gestures frame by frame. We paired this with controlled experiments in which our study participants evaluated entrepreneurs presenting a product. The same pattern of results appeared in both settings. In the AI-analyzed TED Talk data, illustrative gestures predicted higher audience evaluations, reflected in more than 33 million online “likes” of the videos. And in our experiments, 1,600 participants rated speakers who used illustrative gestures as more clear, competent and persuasive. What I found is that these gestures give listeners a visual shortcut to your meaning. They make abstract ideas feel more concrete, helping listeners build a mental picture of what you’re saying. This makes the message feel easier to process — a phenomenon psychologists call “processing fluency”. And we found that when ideas feel easier to grasp, people tend to see the speaker as more competent and persuasive. But not all gestures help.

A practical method: Focus on clarity over planned gestures. Think about where your hands naturally illustrate what you’re saying — emphasizing size, direction or emotion — and let them move with purpose. 1．Which is TRUE about illustrative gestures? A．They can explain abstract ideas. B．They are random hand movements. C．They are designed to attract audiences. D．They work better when speakers express ideas. 2．What can be inferred from the study? A．AI is key to reliable research results. B．Speakers’ abilities depend on gestures. C．More gestures lead to more online likes. D．Gestures influence people’s judgment of speakers’ performance. 3．What is the author’s attitude to unmatched gestures? A．Supportive. B．Uncaring. C．Negative. D．Doubtful. 4．What is the text mainly about? A．Secrets of giving excellent TED talks. B．Ways to improve communication skills. C．Research on abstract and concrete ideas. D．Effects of illustrative gestures on communication. 【答案】1．D 2．D 3．C 4．D 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究发现“能直观体现内容的手势能提升沟通效果”，让表达更清晰、更有说服力；但无关、杂乱的手势反而会分散注意力。 1．细节理解题。根据文章第一段内容“This made me wonder: Do gestures actually make communicators more effective? The short answer is yes, but only when the gestures visually represent the idea you’re talking about.(这让我不禁思考：手势真的能让交流者更有效吗？简短的回答是肯定的，但前提是这些手势要能直观地表达你所谈论的想法。)”可知，只有当手势视觉呈现你讲的观点的时候才有用，即，当演讲者表达观点时，手势能让效果会更好。故选D项。 2．推理判断题。根据文章第三段内容“…illustrative gestures predicted higher audience evaluations, reflected in more than 33 million online ‘likes’ of the videos. And in our experiments, 1,600 participants rated speakers who used illustrative gestures as more clear, competent and persuasive.(……解释性手势预示着观众评价更高，这一点从这些视频超过3300万的网络点赞量中得以体现。而在我们的实验中，1600名参与者认为，使用解释性手势的演讲者表达更清晰、更有能力，也更具说服力。)”可知，研究表明，使用解释性手势的演讲会获得较多的网络点赞，同时，这类演讲者被认为更清晰、更有能力、更有说服力，由此推知，解释性手势影响人们对演讲者表现的评价。故选D项。 3．推理判断题。根据文章末尾段内容“Movements that don’t match the message — like random waving, fidgeting or pointing to things in the space — offer no such benefit. In some cases, they can even distract.(与传达的信息不相符的动作 —— 比如随意挥动手臂、坐立不安或在空间中指指点点 —— 并不会带来任何益处。在某些情况下，这些动作甚至会分散注意力。)”可知，作者认为与信息不匹配的手势没有帮助，甚至会分散注意力。由此推知，作者对此手势的态度是消极否定的。故选C项。 4．主旨大意题。通过阅读文章可知，首段内容“This made me wonder: Do gestures actually make communicators more effective? The short answer is yes, but only when the gestures visually represent the idea you’re talking about.(这让我不禁思考：手势真的能让交流者更有效吗？简短的回答是肯定的，但前提是这些手势要能直观地表达你所谈论的想法。)”揭示了文章的核心话题，即，文章核心讨论解释性手势对沟通效果的影响，同时在后文用研究验证了匹配内容的说明性手势能提升沟通效果，无效手势反而有负作用。选项D“Effects of illustrative gestures on communication.(解释性手势对交流的影响。)”贴合主旨。故选D项。 Passage 4 （25-26高二上·陕西西安·期末）Communication is more than just words. In fact, studies show that when meeting a stranger, only 7% of the impression we make comes from our actual words. Our tone of voice contributes 38%, and a huge 55% comes from body language— the unspoken signals we send through gestures, postures, and facial expressions. This silent language often reveals our true feelings, even when our words say something different. Take hand gestures as an example. A salesman might notice a customer resting their hand on their chin during a presentation. This gesture usually betokens disinterest, telling the salesman that the customer is not engaged. On the other hand, open palms are often a sign of honesty and openness across many cultures. Eye contact is another powerful part of body language. When someone looks at you with dilated pupils (瞳孔), it often means they are interested in what you’re saying. But if their pupils shrink (缩小) and their gaze feels sharp, they might be feeling unfriendly or challenging you. However, the rules change with culture; in some Asian countries, avoiding direct eye contact shows respect, while in Western cultures, it can seem rude or untrustworthy. Facial expressions, especially smiles, are also key. A genuine smile involves not just the mouth but also the eyes, creating “crow’s feet” around them. Fake smiles, by contrast, only use the mouth muscles. But even smiles have cultural differences. In some countries, a smile might hide embarrassment, not just happiness. Experts suggest a technique called “mirroring” to build connection. This means gently copying the other person’s body language—like leaning forward if they do, or using similar gestures. The key is to do it naturally; forced mirroring can feel insincere. Body language is a skill we can learn. By understanding these silent signals, we can communicate more effectively and build better relationships with others. 1．What is the function of the first paragraph? A．To lead into the main topic of body language. B．To show the results of a study on communication. C．To explain the differences between words and tones. D．To describe how to make a good impression on strangers. 2．What does the underlined word “betokens” probably mean in paragraph 2? A．Advocates. B．Inquires. C．Indicates. D．Consumes. 3．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．The importance of body language in an interview. B．Differences in using eye contact in Asian countries. C．How to make a good impression through eye contact. D．Eye contact serving as a key element of body language. 4．What can be known from the last two paragraphs? A．Body language can be very difficult to master. B．Mirroring must be done naturally to work well. C．Mirroring is the best way to build connection with others. D．It’s not essential to understand silent signals for most people. 【答案】1．A 2．C 3．D 4．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是肢体语言在沟通中的重要性及其作用。 1．推理判断题。根据第一段“Our tone of voice contributes 38%, and a huge 55% comes from body language— the unspoken signals we send through gestures, postures, and facial expressions. This silent language often reveals our true feelings, even when our words say something different.(38%来自我们的语气，而高达55%则来自肢体语言——即我们通过手势、姿势和面部表情传递的无声信号。这种无声的语言往往能揭示我们的真实感受，即便言语表达的内容有所不同。)”可知，第一段的作用是引出肢体语言这一主题。故选A。 2．词句猜测题。根据第二段“telling the salesman that the customer is not engaged(向销售员表明顾客并未投入其中)”和“disinterest(无兴趣)”可知，有顾客将手托在下巴上，这一手势通常意味着不感兴趣，betokens的意思是“表示”，和indicates意思相近。故选C。 3．主旨大意题。根据第三段“Eye contact is another powerful part of body language. When someone looks at you with dilated pupils (瞳孔), it often means they are interested in what you’re saying. But if their pupils shrink (缩小) and their gaze feels sharp, they might be feeling unfriendly or challenging you. However, the rules change with culture; in some Asian countries, avoiding direct eye contact shows respect, while in Western cultures, it can seem rude or untrustworthy.(眼神交流也是肢体语言中极为重要的一部分。当某人用扩张的瞳孔注视你时，往往意味着他们对你说的话感兴趣。但如果他们的瞳孔缩小，且目光锐利，那么他们可能感到不友好或在挑战你。然而，这些规则会因文化而异；在一些亚洲国家，避免直视对方表示尊重，而在西方文化中，这可能被视为粗鲁或不可信。)”可知，第三段主要讲的是眼神交流是肢体语言的关键要素。故选D。 4．细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Experts suggest a technique called “mirroring” to build connection.(专家建议采用一种称为“模仿”的技巧来建立联系。)”和“The key is to do it naturally; forced mirroring can feel insincere.(关键是要做得自然；刻意的模仿会让人感觉不真诚。)”可知，模仿必须自然进行才能有效。故选B。 Passage 5 （25-26高二下·云南·期中）Mastering Body Language: The Key to Effective Communication Effective communication goes beyond words. Body language plays a crucial role in conveying messages, emotions, and intentions. Mastering the art of non-verbal communication can greatly enhance one’s ability to connect with others and express thoughts more clearly. 1 1. Posture and Confidence 2 Good posture communicates confidence and openness. Standing tall with shoulders back signals self-assurance, while lowering your head can imply insecurity or disinterest. A confident posture invites engagement and helps establish authority in both professional and social settings. 2. Eye Contact and Connection Eye contact is one of the most powerful non-verbal cues. Maintaining appropriate eye contact shows attentiveness and respect. 3 Striking the right balance helps to build trust and fosters a sense of connection, making the interaction feel more personal and sincere. 3. Gestures and Expression Gestures and facial expressions complement verbal communication and provide additional context. 4 Smiling, nodding, or using open palms creates a friendly, approachable atmosphere. On the other hand, crossed arms or a tense facial expression may unintentionally communicate defensiveness or discomfort. In conclusion, mastering body language is crucial for effective communication. 5 . Ultimately, these non-verbal cues help us express ourselves more confidently and clearly. A．Keeping proper eye contact demonstrates focus and consideration. B．The way you stand or sit can significantly affect how others perceive you. C．Mastering body language is essential for building strong connections with others. D．Following are several key aspects of body language to consider in your daily life. E．However, too little can signal disinterest, while too much may come across as threatening. F．Using hand gestures can emphasize key points and make conversations more engaging. G．By being mindful of posture, eye contact, and gestures, we can improve our communication skills. 【答案】1．D 2．B 3．E 4．F 5．G 【导语】文章主要介绍了掌握肢体语言的重要性，并从姿势、眼神交流和手势三个方面阐述了如何通过非语言沟通提升交流效果。 1．上文“Mastering the art of non-verbal communication can greatly enhance one’s ability to connect with others and express thoughts more clearly.(掌握非语言沟通的艺术可以极大地增强你与他人建立联系以及更清晰地表达思想的能力)”总述了掌握肢体语言的好处。下文列出了“1.

But devices are only one of the challenges surrounding this lost art. Let’s examine the very term we use: “eye contact”. This phrase frames eye contact as a static (静态的) object, something we either “have” or “don’t”. 2 It fails to recognize eye contact as a dynamic and interactive process that requires intention and awareness. 3 Great artists use all their senses to absorb information and deepen their connection with their environment. Similarly, your eyes offer you a powerful way to connect more deeply and vividly with those around you. Is it really that simple? Yes! Eye contact is the result of trying to actively engage in communication — both understanding and being understood. But in practice, it is far from simple sometimes. It's easy to have great eye contact when you’re completely at ease. But when you’re feeling self-conscious (不自在的), simply trying to focus on the other person may not be enough. 4 Try an exercise called “Silent Storytelling”. You’ll tell a story but without sound. Recruit a friend or two and use your eyes, face, hands, and body to convey your message. Pay close attention to your audience’s reactions — raised eyebrows, widening eyes, or nodding. 5 What you’ll discover is that “good eye contact” comes naturally when you need to assess their understanding without the help of sound. Gradually, through repeated practice, you can master the art of eye contact. A．This view oversimplifies the concept. B．This reflects a shift from face-to-face engagement. C．Instead, we should consider eye contact as an art form. D．The key point of interaction is emphasized accordingly. E．These signals will indicate whether they’re following along. F．Eye contact is becoming increasingly rare in our lives in the digital time. G．Thus, it is high time you needed effective practice to regain this lost social skill. 【答案】1．F 2．A 3．C 4．G 5．E 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要探讨数字时代下眼神交流逐渐消失的现象，剖析概念误区，并给出具体练习方法以重拾这门社交艺术。 1．根据后文“The alerts and endless digital noise have shifted our gaze (凝视) away from the eyes of others and toward our devices. (各种提醒和无尽的数字噪音已经把我们的视线从别人的眼睛转移到了我们的电子设备上。)”可知，后文说明了电子设备让人们不再注视他人眼睛这一情况，F选项“Eye contact is becoming increasingly rare in our lives in the digital time. (在数字时代，眼神交流在我们的生活中正变得越来越罕见。)”能够引出后文内容，同时紧扣文章标题，符合语境。故选F项。 2．根据前文“This phrase frames eye contact as a static (静态的) object, something we either “have” or “don’t”. (这个短语将眼神交流定义为一种静态的事物，是我们要么“拥有”要么“没有”的东西。)”以及后文“It fails to recognize eye contact as a dynamic and interactive process that requires intention and awareness. (它没有认识到眼神交流是一个需要意图和意识的动态互动过程。)”可知，前文提出了一种对眼神交流的片面看法，后文指出这种看法的不足，A选项“This view oversimplifies the concept .(这种观点将这一概念过于简单化了。)”是对前文观点的评价，能够连接前后文内容，符合语境。故选A项。 3．根据后文“Great artists use all their senses to absorb information and deepen their connection with their environment. Similarly, your eyes offer you a powerful way to connect more deeply and vividly with those around you. (伟大的艺术家运用所有感官吸收信息，加深与环境的联结。同样，你的眼睛为你提供了一种与周围人更深入、更生动联结的有力方式。)”可知，后文将眼神交流与艺术创作进行类比，C选项“Instead, we should consider eye contact as an art form. (相反，我们应该把眼神交流看作一种艺术形式。)”提出了对眼神交流的正确认知，能够引出后文的类比内容，符合语境。故选C项。 4．根据前文“But when you’re feeling self-conscious (不自在的), simply trying to focus on the other person may not be enough. (但当你感到不自在时，仅仅试图专注于对方可能是不够的。)”可知，前文指出了单纯依靠专注无法实现良好眼神交流的问题，G选项“Thus, it is high time you needed effective practice to regain this lost social skill.(因此，你迫切需要有效的练习来重拾这项丢失的社交技能。)”针对前文问题给出了解决方向，能够自然引出后文的具体练习方法，符合语境。故选G项。 5．根据前文“Pay close attention to your audience's reactions — raised eyebrows, widening eyes, or nodding. (密切关注你观众的反应——扬起眉毛、睁大双眼或是点头。)”可知，前文列举了观众的一系列肢体反应，E选项“These signals will indicate whether they're following along. (这些信号会表明他们是否跟上了你的思路。)”解释了这些肢体信号的作用，与前文内容衔接紧密，符合语境。故选E项。 Passage 7 （25-26高二下·湖南·期中）Last summer, I had the opportunity to attend an international summer camp. It was exciting, yet I soon encountered an unexpected challenge. My roommate, Ahmed from Egypt, was friendly, but I found his habit of standing 1 close, when talking to me, hard to accept. I instinctively stepped back, which seemed to 2 him. The atmosphere grew tense, and I began to 3 my own behavior. Later, in a culture-sharing session, I learned that in many Arab countries, standing close 4 trust and warmth, while in my culture, more personal space is preferred. This was not about right or wrong; it 5 different cultural norms. I realized my step back might have been 6 as a sign of coldness or rejection. With this new 7 , I decided to bridge the gap. I explained my feelings to Ahmed 8 ,  and he shared his perspective. We agreed to 9 a middle ground.  This experience taught me that cultural differences, though sometimes causing 10 , can lead to deeper understanding if we approach them with 11 minds. It is not about changing who we are, but about 12 the beautiful diversity of human interaction. Understanding begins when we choose to   13 beyond our own perspectives.

My shoulders always drooped (低垂) ; my eyes always stayed fixed on the floor; and my voice was always a 1 . As a teenager, I was so 2 of being judged that I tried to make myself as quiet as possible. And it seemed to 3 . My parents’ silence and my classmates’ 4 confirmed my worst fear — I was 5 . Everything was 6 when Ms Rivera, my art teacher, pulled me aside. “George,” she said softly, “your body is telling a story of 7 , but I see a different one in your 8 . Let your posture tell that story.” She showed me simple 9 : standing tall, making eye contact, and offering a genuine smile. At first, it felt 10 , like wearing a costume. The next day, I practiced. I 11 my mom’s eyes at breakfast. Her surprised smile warmed me. At school, I nodded at a classmate. To my shock, he 12 the nod and said, “You seem different today.” At lunch, I 13 joined a table. Remembering Ms Rivera’s words — an open posture invites the world in — I listened and shared. For the first time, people listened back. That evening, telling my dad about my day, I stood tall.

Understanding human body language is essential because not everyone possesses a perfect poker face at all times. Even when individuals try their hardest to remain polite, their true internal feelings often leak out through subtle facial signals, 2 (imply) that they might be feeling irritated or overwhelmed. One common red flag is the frequent and sudden use of mobile phones. In today’s always-connected culture, looking down at a digital screen provides a socially acceptable escape. However, such behavior often signals deep boredom or annoyance. If someone is 3 (genuine) interested in what you are saying, they will stay fully engaged. In some strict 4 (profession) settings, employees are suggested that they 5 (ban) from using smartphones during meetings to ensure that everyone focuses entirely on 6 social interaction occurring at that moment. Physical movements also provide vital clues. Many people tend to shift in their seats or take heavy 7 (breath) when annoyed. These actions are attempts to reset the nervous system and regain calmness. By making a careful 8 (compare) between a person’s normal behavior and these sudden physical shifts, you can easily detect discomfort. Learning to interpret these signals correctly helps build better communication and avoid misunderstandings. These behaviors often indicate a hidden conflict. The conversation, 9 which someone’s sudden sighing is a direct response, usually ends awkwardly if the signs are ignored. Ultimately, 10 matters most is our ability to read the room and respect others’ personal boundaries. 【答案】 1．conducted 2．implying 3．genuinely 4．professional 5．should be banned/be banned 6．the 7．breaths 8．comparison 9．to 10．what 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了非语言交流在沟通中的重要性，以及人体语言（如手机使用、肢体动作）所传递的信号和解读这些信号的意义。 1．考查非谓语动词。句意：由顶尖行为科学家开展的一项研究表明，近70%的交流是非语言性的。主句中已有谓语动词shows，空格处修饰名词study，conduct与study之间是被动关系，因此用过去分词作后置定语。故填conducted。 2．考查非谓语动词。句意：即使当人们尽最大努力保持礼貌时，他们真实的内心感受也常常通过微妙的面部信号流露出来，这意味着他们可能感到烦躁或不知所措。句子主干为“their true internal feelings often leak out through subtle facial signals”，且逗号后无连词，空处应用非谓语动词，imply与前面整个句子构成主动关系，因此用现在分词作结果状语。故填implying。 3．考查副词。句意：如果有人真的对你所说的话感兴趣，他们会完全投入其中。此处修饰形容词interested（感兴趣的），应用副词形式，genuine的副词为genuinely，意为“真正地；真诚地”。故填genuinely。 4．考查形容词。句意：在一些严格的职业场合，建议员工在会议期间禁止使用智能手机，以确保每个人都完全专注于当时发生的社交互动。此处修饰名词settings（场合），应用形容词形式，profession的形容词为professional，意为“职业的”。故填professional。 5．考查虚拟语气和被动语态。句意：在一些严格的职业场合，建议员工在会议期间禁止使用智能手机，以确保每个人都完全专注于当时发生的社交互动。suggest表示“建议”时，其后的宾语从句需用虚拟语气，谓语部分为“(should)+动词原形”，且employees与ban之间是被动关系，因此用(should) be banned。故填(should) be banned。 6．考查冠词。句意：在一些严格的职业场合，建议员工在会议期间禁止使用智能手机，以确保每个人都完全专注于当时发生的社交互动。social interaction（社交互动）为可数名词短语，此处特指“当时发生的社交互动”，为特指，所以用定冠词the修饰。故填the。 7．考查名词复数。句意：很多人在感到烦躁时，往往会在座位上动来动去或深呼吸。take...breaths为固定搭配，意为“呼吸”，take heavy breaths表示“深呼吸”。故填breaths。 8．考查名词。句意：通过仔细比较一个人的正常行为和这些突然的身体变化，你可以很容易地发现不适。make a comparison为固定搭配，意为“进行比较”，a后接可数名词单数，compare的名词形式是comparison。故填comparison。 9．考查介词。句意：如果忽视这些信号，某人突然叹气作为直接反应的那场对话，通常会尴尬地结束。此处为“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句，先行词为the conversation，且a direct response to sth.为固定搭配，意为“对某事的直接反应”，因此用介词to。故填to。 10．考查主语从句。句意：归根结底，最重要的是我们观察现场氛围、尊重他人个人边界的能力。此处引导主语从句，从句中缺少主语，且指代“最重要的事情”，应用连接代词what引导。故填what。 Passage 10 （25-26高二上·甘肃陇南·阶段检测）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Before I heard the statistic (统计) that “only seven percent of a message is conveyed through words, and the other 93 percent comes from nonverbal communication”, I 1 (know) something about body language. If we want 2 (express) our true feelings, body language plays 3 important role. Nonverbal clues such as tone of voice and 4 (gesture) play their part. Maybe you are truly 5 (amaze) at how much body language can convey, but that’s what happens. A simple example of body language is a genuine smile to show friendliness. 6 (similar), it can be an upright stance to convey interest or a tilt (倾斜) of the head, 7 shows you’re thinking. When you can read signs like these, you can understand the complete message that someone is telling you. You'll pay more attention to people’s reactions 8 what you say and do, too. And you’ll be able to adjust your body language to appear more positive and approachable. Being aware of other people’s body language means 9 (notice) unspoken emotions and reactions. It’s a 10 (value) form of feedback, but it can easily be missed if you don't know what to look out for. 【答案】 1．had known 2．to express 3．an 4．gestures 5．amazed 6．Similarly 7．which 8．to 9．noticing 10．valuable 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍肢体语言在人际沟通中的重要作用，指出93%的信息传递依赖非语言交流，以及读懂肢体语言的意义。 1．考查动词时态。句意：在我听到“信息只有7%通过语言传递，其余93%来自非语言沟通”这一统计数据之前，我就已经对肢体语言有所了解了。know这个动作发生在heard之前，即“过去的过去”，需用过去完成时，结构为“had + 过去分词”。故填had known。 2．考查非谓语动词。句意：如果我们想要表达真实的感受，肢体语言起着重要作用。此处为固定搭配want to do sth.，意为“想要做某事”，所以空处应用不定式形式。故填to express。 3．考查冠词。句意：如果我们想要表达真实的感受，肢体语言起着重要作用。此处为固定搭配play an important role，意为“起重要作用”，important是以元音音素开头的单词，用不定冠词an。故填an。 4．考查名词复数。句意：语调、手势这类非语言线索都发挥着各自的作用。gesture为可数名词，此处与tone of voice并列，无冠词修饰，此处表示泛指的各类手势，应用复数形式。故填gestures。 5．考查形容词。句意：或许你会由衷惊叹于肢体语言所能传递的信息量，但事实就是如此。此处为固定搭配be amazed at，意为“对……感到惊讶”，amazed修饰人，表达人的主观感受。故填amazed。 6．考查副词。句意：同样地，端正的站姿可以传递出你感兴趣的态度，而歪头的动作则表明你正在思考。similar为形容词，此处修饰整个句子，需用副词similarly作状语，位于句首，首字母大写。故填Similarly。 7．考查定语从句。句意：同样地，端正的站姿可以传递出你感兴趣的态度，而歪头的动作则表明你正在思考。此处为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词a tilt of the head，先行词为事物，关系词在从句中作主语，用关系代词which。故填which。 8．考查介词。句意：你也会更加留意人们对你言行的反应。此处为固定搭配reaction to，意为“对……的反应”，所以空处应用介词to。故填to。 9．考查非谓语动词。句意：留意他人的肢体语言，意味着能捕捉到那些未说出口的情绪和反应。此处为固定搭配mean doing sth.，意为“意味着做某事”，空处应用动名词形式作宾语。故填noticing。 10．考查形容词。句意：这是一种宝贵的反馈形式，但如果不知道该关注什么，就很容易忽略它。value为名词，此处修饰名词form，需用形容词valuable作定语，意为“宝贵的”。故填valuable。 ( 1 / 29 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 4 Body Language 肢体语言 单元阅读精练 Imagine walking into a room filled with strangers. You haven’t spoken a word. You haven’t heard one either, yet something is already being said. This is not magic. It’s the mind’s secret language. It’s the quiet feeling that stays with every talk we have. Human beings are language-related creatures, but long before you learned to talk, you were already a master of silent communication. The ability to sense others is the basis of human connection. Most of the emotional information we send and receive doesn’t come through what we say—it comes through how we behave. Body language is the silent symphony （交响乐） of every social interaction. Charles Darwin pointed out that emotions like fear, anger, joy and sadness are expressed similarly across cultures — and he was right. Paul Ekman’s research later showed that six basic emotions are universally recognized. But the face is just the start. The rest of the body plays too. Crossed arms can signal defensiveness. Leaning in can show interest. Tapping feet may reveal anxiety. And often, your body gives away what your words are trying to hide. These signals operate below the level of conscious control. It’s fast. And often, more truthful than speech. The eyes have long been called the window to the soul—and it has recently been proven by studies. Eye contact starts chains of brain processes tied to attention, trust, and understanding. Eye contact increases connection, improves cooperation, and increases persuasion. But different cultures explain it differently—what feels honest in one culture may seem unfriendly in another. We live in a world filled with words. Still, we must ask: What happens when we over-depend on words and ignore the unspoken? Actually, to reconnect, we must look up, lean in, watch more than we speak and listen not just to what is said, but to what is felt. When we become fluent in the mind’s secret language, we don’t just connect more. We understand more. And that understanding is the beginning of healing, of creation, of peace. 【译文欣赏】 试想你走进一间满是陌生人的屋子。你一言未发，旁人也未曾开口，可无形的交流已然发生。这并非什么魔法，而是大脑独有的隐秘语言，是每一次交谈中挥之不去的微妙情绪。人类本就是依赖语言生存的生物，但早在学会开口说话之前，我们就已是无声交流的高手。感知他人的能力，是人与人建立联结的根基。 我们传递、接收的绝大多数情绪信息，并非来自口头话语，而是源于行为举止。肢体语言，是所有社交互动中无声的交响乐。查尔斯・达尔文曾提出，恐惧、愤怒、喜悦、悲伤这类情绪，在不同文化中的表达方式大同小异 —— 而他的观点不无道理。保罗・艾克曼后续的研究证实，六种基础情绪是全人类都能识别的。 但面部表情仅仅是开端，身体其余部位同样会传递信号：双臂交叉，代表心存戒备；身体前倾，意味着产生兴趣；不停跺脚，多半流露焦虑。很多时候，身体会无意间暴露你言语试图掩饰的心事。这类肢体信号不受主观意识控制，转瞬即逝，却往往比口头话语更加真实。 长久以来，人们都说眼睛是心灵的窗户，近期各类研究也印证了这一点。眼神接触会触发大脑一系列与注意力、信任感、共情理解相关的活动。目光交汇能拉近人际距离、提升协作效率、增强说服力。不过不同文化对眼神交流的解读截然不同：在一种文化里代表坦诚的直视，换一种文化或许会被视作无礼。 我们身处一个话语泛滥的世界，但不妨自问：倘若我们过度依赖语言，忽略那些未曾说出口的信号，又会失去什么？事实上，想要重新建立深度联结，我们应当抬起头、主动靠近对方，多观察少诉说；倾听时不只留意字面内容，更要捕捉背后的情绪。当我们熟练掌握这套心灵的隐秘语言，人与人之间的联结会更加紧密，彼此的理解也会更加深刻。而这份理解，是治愈伤痛、迸发创造力、收获平和的起点。 【词汇积累】 2 原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ ( 1 / 29 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 1. silent communication 无声交流 2. human connection 人际联结 3. body language 肢体语言 4. conscious control 主观意识控制 5. give away 泄露，暴露 6. eye contact 眼神交流，目光接触 7. over-depend on 过度依赖 8. the unspoken 未说出口的情绪 / 潜台词 9. fluent in … 熟练掌握…… 10. the window to the soul 心灵之窗 【高考模拟真题链接】 （2026·四川绵阳·模拟预测）As someone who studies communication, I’d noticed how some speakers seemed instantly clearer when they gestured. This made me wonder: Do gestures actually make communicators more effective? The short answer is yes, but only when the gestures visually represent the idea you’re talking about. Researchers call these movements “illustrators”. When talking about distance, you might spread your hands apart while saying something is“farther away”. When explaining how two concepts relate, you might bring your hands together while saying“these ideas fit together”. When describing how the market demand “is going up and down”, you could visually show a wave shape with your hands. To study gestures at scale, my team and I analyzed 200,000 video segments (片段) from more than 2,000 TED talks using AI tools that can detect and classify hand gestures frame by frame. We paired this with controlled experiments in which our study participants evaluated entrepreneurs (创业者) presenting a product. The same pattern of results appeared in both settings. In the AI-analyzed TED Talk data, illustrative gestures predicted higher audience evaluations, reflected in more than 33 million online“likes” of the videos. And in our experiments, 1,600 participants rated speakers who used illustrative gestures as more clear, competent and persuasive. What I found is that these gestures give listeners a visual shortcut to your meaning. They make abstract ideas feel more concrete, helping listeners build a mental picture of what you’re saying. This makes the message feel easier to process — a phenomenon psychologists call “processing fluency”. And we found that when ideas feel easier to grasp, people tend to see the speaker as more competent and persuasive. But not all gestures help. Movements that don’t match the message — like random waving, fidgeting (坐立不安) or pointing to things in the space — offer no such benefit. In some cases, they can even distract. A practical takeaway: Focus on clarity over planned gestures. Think about where your hands naturally illustrate what you’re saying — emphasizing size, direction or emotion — and let them move with purpose. 1．Why are the examples mentioned in paragraph 1? A．To compare different types of gestures. B．To show how gestures reflect spoken ideas. C．To explain why gestures attract attention. D．To list common mistakes in public speaking. 2．How did the researchers conduct the study? A．By reviewing talks and testing audiences. B．By judging the overall quality of talks. C．By collecting online likes for some talks. D．By attending many live TED talks. 3．What can be inferred about listeners when speakers use illustrative gestures? A．They give priority to visual meaning. B．They notice more gestures than content. C．They judge the speaker more favorably. D．They show less interest in abstract ideas. 4．What is the author’s suggestion to speakers? A．Designing some gestures in advance. B．Keeping gestures purposeful and relevant. C．Reducing gestures to avoid distraction. D．Focusing on the frequency of gestures.

Scientists at Nottingham Trent University (NTU) say that wearing your heart on your face could actually give you a significant social advantage. The study, led by Eithne Kavanagh, a research fellow at NTU’s School of Social Sciences, involving over 1,300 participants, noticed striking variations in how much people moved their faces during conversations. Importantly, this expressiveness emerged as a stable individual quality. People displayed similar levels of facial expressiveness across different contexts, with different social partners, and even over time periods up to four months. The researchers say that facial expressiveness is linked to personality, with more agreeable individuals displaying more lively faces. Facial expressiveness can also translate into concrete social benefits. In a negotiation (谈判) task, more expressive individuals are more likely to secure a larger slice of a reward. The researchers suggest that agreeable, dynamic facial expressions may serve as a tool for building good relationships and smoothing over conflicts. Across the board, the results point to facial expressiveness serving an “affiliative (有亲和力的) function”, or a social glue that develops liking and smoother interactions. Expressiveness is also linked to being seen as more “readable”, suggesting that a lively face makes one’s intentions and mental states easier for others to interpret. Beyond frequency of facial movements, people who employ facial expressions more strategically to suit social goals, such as looking friendly in a greeting, are also more well-liked. The findings challenge the “poker face” common belief that a still and unemotional appearance is always most advantageous. Instead, they suggest that for most people, allowing one’s face to mirror inner states and intentions can invite warmer reactions. As the researchers conclude, “Being facially expressive is socially advantageous.” So, next time you catch yourself making lines on your forehead, or flashing a smile, know that your face just might be working on your behalf. 1．How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph? A．By making a comparison. B．By giving an example. C．By providing a definition. D．By listing statistics. 2．What may facial expressiveness act as in negotiation settings? A．A method to hide personality. B．A way to frighten competitors. C．A strategy to settle disagreement. D．A tool to show personal qualities. 3．What is a common misunderstanding about “poker face” according to the passage? A．It helps people gain more trust during negotiations. B．It makes a person appear more friendly and approachable. C．It is often a very beneficial way to present oneself. D．It is a skill that can be easily learned through practice. 4．What may the author advise based on the findings of the study? A．Always wearing a still face. B．Learning to be an open book. C．Speaking out inner emotions. D．Forcing a smile through tears. Passage 2 （25-26高二下·浙江·期中）Kissing is one of the most intimate (亲密的) human behaviours, yet its origins remain surprisingly mysterious. But why do humans kiss? Historically, kissing has held different meanings across cultures, with the earliest recorded human kiss documented in ancient Mesopotamian texts dating back to 2500 BCE. The ancient Romans had three distinct types of kiss: the osculum, a social kiss on the cheek; the basium, a platonic kiss on the lips shared between partners or family; and the savium, a passionate kiss between lovers. Clearly, kissing has long been more than just a romantic gesture. Despite its popularity, kissing is by no means universal. A study of 168 cultures published in American Anthropologist in 2015 found that only 46 percent practised romantic lip kissing. In cultures that don’t kiss, intimacy is expressed differently. Interestingly, when on his travels, Charles Darwin, described the Malay kiss, where people squat and smell each other’s scent, suggesting that smell may play a role in human intimacy. Can biology help us understand why we kiss? Research suggests that kissing serves a biological bonding function, as it triggers the release of oxytocin, a hormone linked to trust and attachment. Oxytocin helps reduce stress and fosters feelings of closeness, strengthening connections between romantic partners. Besides, evolutionary theories suggest that lip-to-lip kissing may have its roots in early maternal (母系的) behaviours, like mothers chewed food before transferring it to their baby’s mouth. This practice, still observed among chimpanzees, may have laid the foundation for lip contact as a signal of care and bonding. However, a recent theory proposed by evolutionary psychologist Dr Adriano Lameira suggests that kissing may have instead evolved from grooming (梳理毛发) behaviours. In primates, grooming often ends with mouth contact. As humans gradually lost body hair, Lameira suggests that the function of grooming diminished, leading to shorter grooming time, eventually leaving the final lip-to-lip kiss as a lasting gesture of affection. Seemingly, kissing is a complex behaviour shaped by our ancient ancestors, fulfilling a deep human need for connection. 1．Why does the author mention ancient Romans’ kissing in paragraph 2? A．To prove kissing originated in ancient Rome. B．To illustrate kissing has various social meanings. C．To show romantic kissing is the most important type. D．To highlight kissing has been simply a romantic gesture. 2．Which of the following do evolutionary theories suggest? A．Kissing is universally practiced across cultures. B．Kissing is intended to strengthen romantic bonds. C．Kissing may have feeding and grooming origins. D．Kissing has developed from maternal behaviours. 3．What does the underlined word “diminished” in paragraph 6 mean? A．Enhanced. B．Declined. C．Disappeared. D．Expanded. 4．How is the text developed? A．Opinion→Evidence→Summary B．Question→Argument→Application C．Question→Exploration→Conclusion D．Phenomenon→Argument→Conclusion Passage 3 （25-26高二下·河南南阳·阶段检测）As someone who studies communication, I’ve noticed how some speakers seemed instantly clearer when they gestured. This made me wonder: Do gestures actually make communicators more effective? The short answer is yes, but only when the gestures visually represent the idea you’re talking about. Researchers call these movements “illustrators”. When talking about distance, you might spread your hands apart while saying something is “farther away”. When explaining how two concepts relate, you might bring your hands together while saying “these ideas fit together.” When describing how the market demand “is going up and down”, you could visually show a wave shape with your hands. To study gestures at scale, my team and I analyzed 200, 000 video segments from more than 2,000 TED talks using AI tools that can detect and classify hand gestures frame by frame. We paired this with controlled experiments in which our study participants evaluated entrepreneurs presenting a product. The same pattern of results appeared in both settings. In the AI-analyzed TED Talk data, illustrative gestures predicted higher audience evaluations, reflected in more than 33 million online “likes” of the videos. And in our experiments, 1,600 participants rated speakers who used illustrative gestures as more clear, competent and persuasive. What I found is that these gestures give listeners a visual shortcut to your meaning. They make abstract ideas feel more concrete, helping listeners build a mental picture of what you’re saying. This makes the message feel easier to process — a phenomenon psychologists call “processing fluency”. And we found that when ideas feel easier to grasp, people tend to see the speaker as more competent and persuasive. But not all gestures help. Movements that don’t match the message — like random waving, fidgeting or pointing to things in the space — offer no such benefit. In some cases, they can even distract. A practical method: Focus on clarity over planned gestures. Think about where your hands naturally illustrate what you’re saying — emphasizing size, direction or emotion — and let them move with purpose. 1．Which is TRUE about illustrative gestures? A．They can explain abstract ideas. B．They are random hand movements. C．They are designed to attract audiences. D．They work better when speakers express ideas. 2．What can be inferred from the study? A．AI is key to reliable research results. B．Speakers’ abilities depend on gestures. C．More gestures lead to more online likes. D．Gestures influence people’s judgment of speakers’ performance. 3．What is the author’s attitude to unmatched gestures? A．Supportive. B．Uncaring. C．Negative. D．Doubtful. 4．What is the text mainly about? A．Secrets of giving excellent TED talks. B．Ways to improve communication skills. C．Research on abstract and concrete ideas. D．Effects of illustrative gestures on communication. Passage 4 （25-26高二上·陕西西安·期末）Communication is more than just words. In fact, studies show that when meeting a stranger, only 7% of the impression we make comes from our actual words. Our tone of voice contributes 38%, and a huge 55% comes from body language— the unspoken signals we send through gestures, postures, and facial expressions. This silent language often reveals our true feelings, even when our words say something different. Take hand gestures as an example. A salesman might notice a customer resting their hand on their chin during a presentation. This gesture usually betokens disinterest, telling the salesman that the customer is not engaged. On the other hand, open palms are often a sign of honesty and openness across many cultures. Eye contact is another powerful part of body language. When someone looks at you with dilated pupils (瞳孔), it often means they are interested in what you’re saying. But if their pupils shrink (缩小) and their gaze feels sharp, they might be feeling unfriendly or challenging you. However, the rules change with culture; in some Asian countries, avoiding direct eye contact shows respect, while in Western cultures, it can seem rude or untrustworthy. Facial expressions, especially smiles, are also key. A genuine smile involves not just the mouth but also the eyes, creating “crow’s feet” around them. Fake smiles, by contrast, only use the mouth muscles. But even smiles have cultural differences. In some countries, a smile might hide embarrassment, not just happiness. Experts suggest a technique called “mirroring” to build connection. This means gently copying the other person’s body language—like leaning forward if they do, or using similar gestures. The key is to do it naturally; forced mirroring can feel insincere. Body language is a skill we can learn. By understanding these silent signals, we can communicate more effectively and build better relationships with others. 1．What is the function of the first paragraph? A．To lead into the main topic of body language. B．To show the results of a study on communication. C．To explain the differences between words and tones. D．To describe how to make a good impression on strangers. 2．What does the underlined word “betokens” probably mean in paragraph 2? A．Advocates. B．Inquires. C．Indicates. D．Consumes. 3．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A．The importance of body language in an interview. B．Differences in using eye contact in Asian countries. C．How to make a good impression through eye contact. D．Eye contact serving as a key element of body language. 4．What can be known from the last two paragraphs? A．Body language can be very difficult to master. B．Mirroring must be done naturally to work well. C．Mirroring is the best way to build connection with others. D．It’s not essential to understand silent signals for most people. Passage 5 （25-26高二下·云南·期中）Mastering Body Language: The Key to Effective Communication Effective communication goes beyond words. Body language plays a crucial role in conveying messages, emotions, and intentions. Mastering the art of non-verbal communication can greatly enhance one’s ability to connect with others and express thoughts more clearly. 1 1. Posture and Confidence 2 Good posture communicates confidence and openness. Standing tall with shoulders back signals self-assurance, while lowering your head can imply insecurity or disinterest. A confident posture invites engagement and helps establish authority in both professional and social settings. 2. Eye Contact and Connection Eye contact is one of the most powerful non-verbal cues. Maintaining appropriate eye contact shows attentiveness and respect. 3 Striking the right balance helps to build trust and fosters a sense of connection, making the interaction feel more personal and sincere. 3. Gestures and Expression Gestures and facial expressions complement verbal communication and provide additional context. 4 Smiling, nodding, or using open palms creates a friendly, approachable atmosphere. On the other hand, crossed arms or a tense facial expression may unintentionally communicate defensiveness or discomfort. In conclusion, mastering body language is crucial for effective communication. 5 . Ultimately, these non-verbal cues help us express ourselves more confidently and clearly. A．Keeping proper eye contact demonstrates focus and consideration. B．The way you stand or sit can significantly affect how others perceive you. C．Mastering body language is essential for building strong connections with others. D．Following are several key aspects of body language to consider in your daily life. E．However, too little can signal disinterest, while too much may come across as threatening. F．Using hand gestures can emphasize key points and make conversations more engaging. G．By being mindful of posture, eye contact, and gestures, we can improve our communication skills. Passage 6 （25-26高三下·湖南·阶段检测）The Lost Art of Eye Contact If the title of this article caught your eye, that’s a good start — it might even help you reflect on where your eyes typically focus and where they don’t. 1 The alerts and endless digital noise have shifted our gaze (凝视) away from the eyes of others and toward our devices. But devices are only one of the challenges surrounding this lost art. Let’s examine the very term we use: “eye contact”. This phrase frames eye contact as a static (静态的) object, something we either “have” or “don’t”. 2 It fails to recognize eye contact as a dynamic and interactive process that requires intention and awareness. 3 Great artists use all their senses to absorb information and deepen their connection with their environment. Similarly, your eyes offer you a powerful way to connect more deeply and vividly with those around you. Is it really that simple? Yes! Eye contact is the result of trying to actively engage in communication — both understanding and being understood. But in practice, it is far from simple sometimes. It's easy to have great eye contact when you’re completely at ease. But when you’re feeling self-conscious (不自在的), simply trying to focus on the other person may not be enough. 4 Try an exercise called “Silent Storytelling”. You’ll tell a story but without sound. Recruit a friend or two and use your eyes, face, hands, and body to convey your message. Pay close attention to your audience’s reactions — raised eyebrows, widening eyes, or nodding. 5 What you’ll discover is that “good eye contact” comes naturally when you need to assess their understanding without the help of sound. Gradually, through repeated practice, you can master the art of eye contact. A．This view oversimplifies the concept. B．This reflects a shift from face-to-face engagement. C．Instead, we should consider eye contact as an art form. D．The key point of interaction is emphasized accordingly. E．These signals will indicate whether they’re following along. F．Eye contact is becoming increasingly rare in our lives in the digital time. G．Thus, it is high time you needed effective practice to regain this lost social skill. Passage 7 （25-26高二下·湖南·期中）Last summer, I had the opportunity to attend an international summer camp. It was exciting, yet I soon encountered an unexpected challenge. My roommate, Ahmed from Egypt, was friendly, but I found his habit of standing 1 close, when talking to me, hard to accept. I instinctively stepped back, which seemed to 2 him. The atmosphere grew tense, and I began to 3 my own behavior. Later, in a culture-sharing session, I learned that in many Arab countries, standing close 4 trust and warmth, while in my culture, more personal space is preferred. This was not about right or wrong; it 5 different cultural norms. I realized my step back might have been 6 as a sign of coldness or rejection. With this new 7 , I decided to bridge the gap. I explained my feelings to Ahmed 8 ,  and he shared his perspective. We agreed to 9 a middle ground.  This experience taught me that cultural differences, though sometimes causing 10 , can lead to deeper understanding if we approach them with 11 minds. It is not about changing who we are, but about 12 the beautiful diversity of human interaction. Understanding begins when we choose to   13 beyond our own perspectives. After all, in our 14 world, the ability to navigate (驾驭) cultural differences is not just a skill, but a 15 for sincere connection. 1．A．friendly B．confidently C．purposefully D．uncomfortably 2．A．please B．embarrass C．comfort D．welcome 3．A．reflect on B．give up C．worry about D．object to 4．A．changes B．doubts C．challenges D．signals 5．A．explained B．represented C．caused D．hid 6．A．ignored B．interpreted C．introduced D．interrupted 7．A．problem B．language C．insight D．custom 8．A．angrily B．secretly C．frankly D．anxiously 9．A．find B．avoid C．cross D．lose 10．A．excitement B．comfort C．confusion D．joy 11．A．open B．closed C．narrow D．blank 12．A．judging B．fearing C．appreciating D．changing 13．A．look B．step C．turn D．speak 14．A．simple B．quiet C．disconnected D．interconnected 15．A．barrier B．necessity C．choice D．burden Passage 8 （25-26高二上·河北廊坊·期末）I used to be just part of the background in our group. My shoulders always drooped (低垂) ; my eyes always stayed fixed on the floor; and my voice was always a 1 . As a teenager, I was so 2 of being judged that I tried to make myself as quiet as possible. And it seemed to 3 . My parents’ silence and my classmates’ 4 confirmed my worst fear — I was 5 . Everything was 6 when Ms Rivera, my art teacher, pulled me aside. “George,” she said softly, “your body is telling a story of 7 , but I see a different one in your 8 . Let your posture tell that story.” She showed me simple 9 : standing tall, making eye contact, and offering a genuine smile. At first, it felt 10 , like wearing a costume. The next day, I practiced. I 11 my mom’s eyes at breakfast. Her surprised smile warmed me. At school, I nodded at a classmate. To my shock, he 12 the nod and said, “You seem different today.” At lunch, I 13 joined a table. Remembering Ms Rivera’s words — an open posture invites the world in — I listened and shared. For the first time, people listened back. That evening, telling my dad about my day, I stood tall. His hand on my shoulder spoke volumes. I wasn’t just using 14 ; I was speaking my true self. I learned that to find my voice, I had to let my whole body “ 15 ” with courage and pride. 1．A．comfort B．blessing C．patent D．whisper 2．A．proud B．scared C．capable D．unaware 3．A．benefit B．suspect C．disappear D．work 4．A．assistance B．greeting C．ignorance D．blame 5．A．invaluable B．invisible C．illogical D．illegal 6．A．transformed B．controlled C．predicted D．assessed 7．A．defeat B．joy C．gain D．anger 8．A．clothes B．drawings C．essays D．occupations 9．A．words B．concepts C．gestures D．applications 10．A．steady B．simple C．violent D．awkward 11．A．met B．hurt C．avoided D．recognized 12．A．admitted B．allowed C．returned D．rejected 13．A．academically B．bravely C．barely D．unwillingly 14．A．role model B．comfort zone C．body language D．life skill 15．A．speak up B．break down C．give in D．go out Passage 9 （25-26高二下·重庆北碚·阶段检测）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 A study 1 (conduct) by leading behavioral scientists shows that nearly 70% of communication happens nonverbally. Understanding human body language is essential because not everyone possesses a perfect poker face at all times. Even when individuals try their hardest to remain polite, their true internal feelings often leak out through subtle facial signals, 2 (imply) that they might be feeling irritated or overwhelmed. One common red flag is the frequent and sudden use of mobile phones. In today’s always-connected culture, looking down at a digital screen provides a socially acceptable escape. However, such behavior often signals deep boredom or annoyance. If someone is 3 (genuine) interested in what you are saying, they will stay fully engaged. In some strict 4 (profession) settings, employees are suggested that they 5 (ban) from using smartphones during meetings to ensure that everyone focuses entirely on 6 social interaction occurring at that moment. Physical movements also provide vital clues. Many people tend to shift in their seats or take heavy 7 (breath) when annoyed. These actions are attempts to reset the nervous system and regain calmness. By making a careful 8 (compare) between a person’s normal behavior and these sudden physical shifts, you can easily detect discomfort. Learning to interpret these signals correctly helps build better communication and avoid misunderstandings. These behaviors often indicate a hidden conflict. The conversation, 9 which someone’s sudden sighing is a direct response, usually ends awkwardly if the signs are ignored. Ultimately, 10 matters most is our ability to read the room and respect others’ personal boundaries. Passage 10 （25-26高二上·甘肃陇南·阶段检测）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Before I heard the statistic (统计) that “only seven percent of a message is conveyed through words, and the other 93 percent comes from nonverbal communication”, I 1 (know) something about body language. If we want 2 (express) our true feelings, body language plays 3 important role. Nonverbal clues such as tone of voice and 4 (gesture) play their part. Maybe you are truly 5 (amaze) at how much body language can convey, but that’s what happens. A simple example of body language is a genuine smile to show friendliness. 6 (similar), it can be an upright stance to convey interest or a tilt (倾斜) of the head, 7 shows you’re thinking. When you can read signs like these, you can understand the complete message that someone is telling you. You'll pay more attention to people’s reactions 8 what you say and do, too. And you’ll be able to adjust your body language to appear more positive and approachable. Being aware of other people’s body language means 9 (notice) unspoken emotions and reactions. It’s a 10 (value) form of feedback, but it can easily be missed if you don't know what to look out for. ( 1 / 29 ) 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
