Steps： First make sure that all volunteers know what body language means(expressing feelings through body movement and facial expressions).Go over the following instructions: •I’ll need at least 9 volunteers to play a game similar to charades (猜词游戏). •The first volunteer will draw a card with a feeling written on it and act out the feeling without using words. •The rest of the group will guess what feeling is being communicated. Once someone correctly guesses the feeling, the next person in line will draw a card and act out what is written on it, again without words. •The game will continue until there are no more cards or until time is up. At last, end the activity using the discussion points below: •Can you give examples of when someone’s body language communicated a different message from what he/she actually said? •Sometimes one person is offended (冒犯) by another’s body language. How can you work to keep that from happening? Answers may include: be honest and direct; match your non-verbal messages to your verbal ones; be aware of cultural attitudes toward different kinds of body language. 21．(2.5分)To whom is the text most likely written? A．Teachers. B．Students. C．Volunteers. D．Young parents. 22．(2.5分)What do we know about the game? A．One volunteer draws all cards. B．Volunteers guess feelings one by one. C．Each volunteer is given 25－35 minutes. D．Feelings on cards are shown non-verbally. 23．(2.5分)What are you advised to do to avoid offensive body language? A．Learn about different cultures. B．Behave humorously. C．Act indirectly. D．Just let it be. （本题10分）When I was five or six years old, I remember watching TV and seeing other children suffer in other parts of the world. I would say to myself, “ When I grow up, when I can get rich, I will save kids all over the world.” At 17, I started my career here in America, and by the age of 18, I started my first charity organization. I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years, and met, helped, and even lost some of the most beautiful souls, from six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia (白血病)—her story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors, to 2012 when my grandmother lost her battle with cancer, which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation (CLF). We’re all human. And we all just want a chance: a chance at life, a chance in education, a chance at a future, really. And at CLF, our mission is to impact as many lives as possible, but it starts with just one. People make it seem too hard to do charity work. The truth is, you don’t have to be rich to help others. You don’t need to be famous. You don’t even have to be college-educated. But it starts with your neighbor, the person right next to you, the person sitting next to you in class, the kid down the block in your neighborhood. You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can. And today, I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person, one organization, one situation that touches your heart. My grandmother always used to say,“If you’ve got a dollar, there’s plenty to share. ” 24．(2.5分)What did the author want to do at a young age? A．Watch TV. B．Grow up quickly. C．Help other children. D．Become wealthy. 25．(2.5分)What directly caused the author to create and develop the CLF? A．Her grandmother’s death of cancer. B．A six-year-old kid’s request. C．Many volunteers’ inspiration. D．Other organizations’ encouragement. 26．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．A chance. B．A task. C．An organization. D．A life. 27．(2.5分)What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph? A．Challenge their friends to offer help. B．Work hard to get a college education. C．Do little things to help those around them. D．Do charity work when you are rich. （本题10分）People often say your feelings are “written all over your face” because our facial expressions are a main way we communicate emotions. Now according to recent research led by Patty Van Cappellen of Duke University, besides our faces, our body posture (姿势) also plays a role. In one study, Van Cappellen and her colleagues asked a group of participants to show four faceless mannequins (人体模型) in postures that represented four different emotions: dominance (支配), joy, hope and respect. The research assistants then looked at photos of the mannequins that participants had created and assessed their head positions, arm positions, and degrees of expansiveness — how much space they took up by standing straight or opening up different parts of their bodies. Then, the researchers compared these positions to the feelings they supposedly expressed. Van Cappellen found that people viewed an expansive posture as representing dominance. But joy and respect were also represented by expansive postures, with hope involving the least expansive posture. “We’re finding that positive emotions are also marked by expansiveness — especially joy,” she says. Besides, arm and head positions also mattered. For example, joyful postures were described by arms raised above the head, while respectful postures showed hands touching the face. Dominant postures, on the other hand, tended to show arms akimbo (双手叉腰) with the head facing forward. To know if other people seeing the mannequins could recognize the feelings being expressed by different postures, Van Cappellen had a new group of participants look at photos of mannequins posed in many different ways. The participants found that expansive postures with arms held high represented positive emotion — with arms akimbo representing dominance and negative emotion. Her research suggests that our body posture helps express our emotions and may help us feel certain emotions, too. This could be consequential — not just in the lab, but in real life, where it’s useful to know how we and other people are feeling in a certain situation. 28．(2.5分)Which emotion is most probably expressed by the least expansive posture? A．Dominance. B．Joy. C．Hope. D．Respect. 29．(2.5分)What does a man tend to do when he feels happy according to the text? A．Hold his arms high. B．Touch his face. C．Have his arms crossed. D．Shake his head. 30．(2.5分)Why did Van Cappellen have new participants look at the photos of mannequins? A．To find why the participants showed the different feelings. B．To know how people communicate with facial expressions. C．To figure out what different body postures may represent. D．To see if others can feel the same about the body postures. 31．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “consequential” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Embarrassing. B．Important. C．Flexible. D．Unusual. （本题10分）When learning a foreign language, most people fall back on traditional methods: reading, writing, listening and repeating. But Brian Mathias’ research team found out that if you gesture with your arms while studying, you can remember the vocabulary better, even months later. As Mathias and his colleagues describe in the Journal of Neuroscience, they had 22 German-speaking adults learn a total of 90 invented artificial words (such as “lamube” for “camera” and “atesi” for “thought”) over four days. While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary, they were also shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the world. When the word was repeated, the subjects performed the gesture themselves. Five months later, they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learned into German. At the same time, they had equipment attached to their heads that sent weak magnetic pulses (磁脉冲) to their primary motor cortex — the brain area that controls arm movements. When these signals were active, the subjects found it harder to recall the words accompanied by gestures. When the equipment sent no distracting signals (but still appeared to the subjects to be active), they found it easier to remember the words. The researchers concluded that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learned with gestures. The effect did not occur when the test subjects were only presented with matching pictures instead of gestures when learning vocabulary. In contrast, children-unlike adults seem to benefit from pictures as much as gestures in the long run. In an experiment published in 2020, the Leipzig research group had young adults and eight-year-old children listen to new vocabulary for five days, sometimes paired with matching pictures or videos of gestures. After two months, the two methods still tied. But after six months, the adults benefited more from the gestures than the pictures, while the children were helped equally by both. 32．(2.5分)What can be learned about in paragraph 2? A．The purpose of the test. B．The subjects of the test. C．The process of the test. D．The outcome of the test. 33．(2.5分)What is the purpose of the experiment with magnetic pulses? A．To prove magnetic pulses damage language memory. B．To compare two different vocabulary memory results. C．To emphasize the participants’ courage for the challenge. D．To repeat the relationship between motor cortex and gesture-linked words. 34．(2.5分)What is the result of adult-child comparison experiment? A．Gestures are more effective than pictures for both age groups. B．Adults and children benefit equally from gestures in the long term. C．Pictures have a better effect than gestures for adults after two months. D．Gestures and pictures are equally helpful for children after six months. 35．(2.5分)Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage? A．How Gestures Give Your Word Memory a Hand B．Why Children Learn Languages Better Than Adults C．The Disadvantages of Traditional Language Learning D．Magnetic Pulses: A New Tool for Memory Enhancement （本题12.5分）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. 36(2.5分) 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”. 37(2.5分) It fails to recognize eye contact as a dynamic and interactive process that requires intention and awareness. 38(2.5分) 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. 39(2.5分) 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. 40(2.5分) 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. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）When we learned that a young client from Northern Africa would be arriving with a hearing disability, we did what seemed natural. We 41 our local partners and arranged for an American Sign Language (ASL) 42 to be present upon arrival. It was a reasonable response, but it wasn’t the 43 one. And we caught ourselves before it became a 44 . ASL is the dominant sign language in the US, but it is far from the 45 one. Across the world, hundreds of distinct sign languages have developed, each 46 by culture, geography, and community. A person with a hearing disability who grew up in North Africa almost certainly did not grow up 47 in ASL. Our team contacted the client’s family to understand how this person 48 . The conversations took time, but we got a clear picture of this individual’s 49 communication needs. We began searching for a 50 interpreter fluent in that specific language. It wasn’t 51 , but after extensive outreach, we found a university professor with exactly the expertise (专长) we needed. By the time our client 52 , everything was in place. The professor was at the airport to greet him and remained with him. From the moment he arrived, he had someone who could really 53 him. Inclusion is not a checkbox. It is not 54 “an interpreter” and moving on. It is asking whose interpreter, in which language, for which community. It is recognizing that disability, culture, and communication are 55 and that no two people’s needs are the same. 41．(1分)A．reached out to B．kept up with C．stood for D．depended on 42．(1分)A．professor B．consultant C．interpreter D．journalist 43．(1分)A．special B．right C．quick D．familiar 44．(1分)A．quarrel B．plan C．routine D．barrier 45．(1分)A．only B．important C．practical D．official 46．(1分)A．valued B．challenged C．limited D．shaped 47．(1分)A．majoring B．signing C．teaching D．succeeding 48．(1分)A．communicated B．adapted C．recovered D．reacted 49．(1分)A．urgent B．previous C．unique D．ordinary 50．(1分)A．dedicated B．respected C．disabled D．qualified 51．(1分)A．fun B．enough C．easy D．suitable 52．(1分)A．approved B．responded C．landed D．registered 53．(1分)A．understand B．appreciate C．represent D．accompany 54．(1分)A．testing B．arranging C．training D．calling 55．(1分)A．incredible B．incomparable C．invaluable D．inseparable 四、语法填空 （本题15分）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。 We use both words and body language to express our ideas in our interactions with other people, learning a lot about 56(1.5分) people are thinking by watching their body language. Just like spoken language, body language 57(1.5分) (vary) from culture to culture. The crucial thing is using body language in 58(1.5分) way that is appropriate to the culture you are in. For example, making eye contact in some countries is to display interest but is not always 59(1.5分) (approve) of in many Middle Eastern countries, where men and women are not 60(1.5分) (social) permitted to make eye contact. The gesture for “OK” has different meanings in different cultures. In Japan, someone 61(1.5分) witnesses another person employing the gesture might think it means money, while in France, a person 62(1.5分) (encounter) an identical gesture may interpret it as meaning zero. Some body language, like a smile, can help us get 63(1.5分) difficult situations and find friends in a world of strangers, and break down barriers. We can use a smile to make an 64(1.5分) (apologise), to greet someone, to ask for help, or to start a conversation. If we are feeling down or lonely, there is nothing 65(1.5分) (good) than seeing the smiling face of a good friend. 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假设你是李华，你的英国网友Peter即将首次来中国。他在邮件中向你倾诉，担心因不了解中国的肢体语言导致沟通不畅，甚至产生误会。请你根据以下要点给他回一封邮件： 1.理解他的担忧； 2.提供与中国人交流时实用的建议（可参考肢体语言、日常礼仪等方面）。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Peter, _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 六、书面表达 67．（本题25分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 The Freshest Bakery was in a small town called Balminster. It made bread for supermarkets in a nearby city. The bakery had been there for a long time and most of the machines were old. The factory engineer, Frank, was good at maintaining (维修) the machines and most of the time there were no problems. One Tuesday, Frank was finishing work. The manager came out of his office. “You have a day off tomorrow,” he said to Frank. “Yes!” smiled Frank. “My son is graduating from university! Tomorrow I will go to the graduation ceremony!” He planned to leave at 6 am and had enough time to drive there. At 4:30 am the next morning, Frank got a phone call from the factory, asking him to repair the broken oven at once. Oh no! thought Frank. He hoped he could fix it quickly. He took his suit to the factory, so he could drive from there to the university. When he arrived at the factory, all the workers and the manager were waiting for him. “Thank you, Frank,” said the manager. “I know this is a big day for you, but we must bake the bread.” Frank went to look at the big bread oven. Then he went back to the manager. “I can fix it, but it will take a long time. I will be too late for the graduation ceremony.” The manager felt very bad. But Frank knew they had to make bread and get it to the supermarkets today, or the supermarkets would turn to a newer bakery. All the workers would lose their jobs. Frank worked hard to fix the bread oven. At 7:00 am he finished, and the loaves of bread started rolling into the oven to be baked. “We will be on time for our supermarket deliveries!” The manager was very happy. “You can go now,” he said to Frank. “Enjoy your son’s graduation.” “It’s too late,” said Frank sadly. “I cannot drive there in time.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Usually the workers talked a lot and laughed, but today, everyone was very quiet. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “Fly to the university?” the manager remembered his old friend, a helicopter company manager. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 4 Body Language（较易版01） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What are the speakers mainly talking about?

W: Oh, I didn’t notice that. M: Using gestures to express what you’re thinking is commonplace in some countries, but a gesture can mean different things in different countries. For instance, shaking your head mostly means “no”, but in other countries it can mean the opposite. So the question is: In which country does shaking your head mean “yes”? Greece, Japan or Bulgaria? W: Umm … No idea. Maybe Bulgaria? But I do know Indians shake their heads to mean lots of things. That goes completely over my head. M: You’ve hit it this time. We need to be careful to avoid offense when greeting people from other cultures with gestures.

I’d like to focus on two in particular: the high five and the handshake. The high-five hand gesture is generally used as a celebration. Many see its origins in baseball. Two US teams lay claim to inventing the high five: the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1977 and the Louisville Cardinals in 1978. It’s quite likely that it was neither, and the gesture might have a much earlier origin. It’s very similar to a 1920s Jazz Age gesture known as the “low five” or “giving skin”. The other gesture I’m going to mention today is the handshake. It dates back as far as ancient Greece. Its original meaning is to convey trust, respect and equality. In the 17th-century European marriage paintings, we find many examples of handshakes between husband and wife. Now, of course, the handshake serves many purposes: meeting, greeting, expressing gratitude or completing an agreement. Besides, it’s also used to offer congratulations, which serves the same purpose as the high five. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）A Lesson Plan from Life Planning Education：A Youth Development Program Purpose：To learn about body language and how to use body language Materials (材料)：cards; container Time：25－35 minutes Planning Notes： •Write the words below on cards: angry, disappointed, shy, afraid, sad, happy, nervous, excited, bored •Place the cards in the container so volunteers can draw them out one at a time. Steps： First make sure that all volunteers know what body language means(expressing feelings through body movement and facial expressions).Go over the following instructions: •I’ll need at least 9 volunteers to play a game similar to charades (猜词游戏). •The first volunteer will draw a card with a feeling written on it and act out the feeling without using words. •The rest of the group will guess what feeling is being communicated. Once someone correctly guesses the feeling, the next person in line will draw a card and act out what is written on it, again without words. •The game will continue until there are no more cards or until time is up. At last, end the activity using the discussion points below: •Can you give examples of when someone’s body language communicated a different message from what he/she actually said? •Sometimes one person is offended (冒犯) by another’s body language. How can you work to keep that from happening? Answers may include: be honest and direct; match your non-verbal messages to your verbal ones; be aware of cultural attitudes toward different kinds of body language. 21．(2.5分)To whom is the text most likely written? A．Teachers. B．Students. C．Volunteers. D．Young parents. 22．(2.5分)What do we know about the game? A．One volunteer draws all cards. B．Volunteers guess feelings one by one. C．Each volunteer is given 25－35 minutes. D．Feelings on cards are shown non-verbally. 23．(2.5分)What are you advised to do to avoid offensive body language? A．Learn about different cultures. B．Behave humorously. C．Act indirectly. D．Just let it be. 【答案】21．A 22．D 23．A 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。是一堂关于肢体语言运用的课程设计。 【详解】21．推理判断题。根据文章标题“A Lesson Plan from Life Planning Education: A Youth Development Program”（人生规划教育课程计划：青少年发展计划）及文章第一段“Purpose: To learn about body language and how to use body language”（目的：了解肢体语言以及如何使用肢体语言）以及全文可知，本文是一堂关于肢体语言运用的课程设计，由此可推知，文章的受众是教师。故选A。 22．细节理解题。根据Steps部分中的“The first volunteer will draw a card with a feeling written on it and act out the feeling without using words.”（•第一位志愿者将画一张写有感受的卡片，并表演出这种感受，但不说话。）及“Once someone correctly guesses the feeling, the next person in line will draw a card and act out what is written on it, again without words.”（一旦有人正确猜出了这种感觉，排队的下一个人就会抽出一张卡片并表演出卡片上的内容，同样不用言语。）可知，志愿者们在做猜词游戏时，要避免使用话语，只能用表演的方式呈现卡片上表示感觉的单词。故选D。 23．细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“•Sometimes one person is offended ( 冒犯) by another’s body language. How can you work to keep that from happening? Answers may include: be honest and direct; match your non-verbal messages to your verbal ones; be aware of cultural attitudes toward different kinds of body language.”（•有时一个人会被另一个人的肢体语言冒犯。你该如何避免这种情况发生？答案可能包括：诚实而直接；将你的非语言信息与你的语言信息相匹配；注意不同文化对不同肢体语言的态度。）可知，为避免肢体语言冒犯他人，应该学习了解不同的文化。故选A。 （本题10分）When I was five or six years old, I remember watching TV and seeing other children suffer in other parts of the world. I would say to myself, “ When I grow up, when I can get rich, I will save kids all over the world.” At 17, I started my career here in America, and by the age of 18, I started my first charity organization. I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years, and met, helped, and even lost some of the most beautiful souls, from six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia (白血病)—her story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors, to 2012 when my grandmother lost her battle with cancer, which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation (CLF). We’re all human. And we all just want a chance: a chance at life, a chance in education, a chance at a future, really. And at CLF, our mission is to impact as many lives as possible, but it starts with just one. People make it seem too hard to do charity work. The truth is, you don’t have to be rich to help others. You don’t need to be famous. You don’t even have to be college-educated. But it starts with your neighbor, the person right next to you, the person sitting next to you in class, the kid down the block in your neighborhood. You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can. And today, I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person, one organization, one situation that touches your heart. My grandmother always used to say,“If you’ve got a dollar, there’s plenty to share. ” 24．(2.5分)What did the author want to do at a young age? A．Watch TV. B．Grow up quickly. C．Help other children. D．Become wealthy. 25．(2.5分)What directly caused the author to create and develop the CLF? A．Her grandmother’s death of cancer. B．A six-year-old kid’s request. C．Many volunteers’ inspiration. D．Other organizations’ encouragement. 26．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “one” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．A chance. B．A task. C．An organization. D．A life. 27．(2.5分)What does the author suggest people do in the last paragraph? A．Challenge their friends to offer help. B．Work hard to get a college education. C．Do little things to help those around them. D．Do charity work when you are rich. 【答案】24．C 25．A 26．D 27．C 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者年少时立志长大帮助遭受痛苦的孩子们。长大作者兑现诺言做慈善工作，并号召人们：做力所能及的事来帮助周围的人。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段的“I would say to myself, “When I grow up, when I can get rich, I will save kids all over the world. (我对我自己说“当我长大变得富有的时候，我要拯救全世界的孩子”)”可知，作者小时候想帮助其他孩子。故选C。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“ …2012 when my grandmother who lost her battle with cancer, which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation(CLF).( 2021年，那时候我的祖母在与癌症的斗争中失败了，这正是克拉拉·莱昂内尔基金会（CLF）背后的原因和驱动力。)”可知，祖母的逝世是作者创办和发展CLF的直接动力。故选A。 26．词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句“And at CLF, our mission is to impact as many lives as possible, but it starts with just one.(在CLF，我们的使命是影响尽可能多的人，但它从一个开始)”可知，该组织的使命是影响尽可能多的生命，但是这需要从影响一个生命开始。由此可推断，one指代的是前面提到的many lives中的一个，即一个生命。故选D。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“But it starts with your neighbor, the person right next to you, the person sitting next to you in class, the kid down the block in your neighborhood. (但它始于你的邻居，你旁边的人，在课堂上坐在你旁边的人，你附近街区的孩子。) ”和“You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can. And today, I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person, one organization, one situation that touches your heart. (你只要尽你所能，尽你所能去帮忙。今天，我希望你们每个人都能做出承诺，去帮助一个人、一个组织、一种触动你们内心的情况。)”推知，作者建议人们做力所能及的事来帮助周围的人。故选C。 （本题10分）People often say your feelings are “written all over your face” because our facial expressions are a main way we communicate emotions. Now according to recent research led by Patty Van Cappellen of Duke University, besides our faces, our body posture (姿势) also plays a role. In one study, Van Cappellen and her colleagues asked a group of participants to show four faceless mannequins (人体模型) in postures that represented four different emotions: dominance (支配), joy, hope and respect. The research assistants then looked at photos of the mannequins that participants had created and assessed their head positions, arm positions, and degrees of expansiveness — how much space they took up by standing straight or opening up different parts of their bodies. Then, the researchers compared these positions to the feelings they supposedly expressed. Van Cappellen found that people viewed an expansive posture as representing dominance. But joy and respect were also represented by expansive postures, with hope involving the least expansive posture. “We’re finding that positive emotions are also marked by expansiveness — especially joy,” she says. Besides, arm and head positions also mattered. For example, joyful postures were described by arms raised above the head, while respectful postures showed hands touching the face. Dominant postures, on the other hand, tended to show arms akimbo (双手叉腰) with the head facing forward. To know if other people seeing the mannequins could recognize the feelings being expressed by different postures, Van Cappellen had a new group of participants look at photos of mannequins posed in many different ways. The participants found that expansive postures with arms held high represented positive emotion — with arms akimbo representing dominance and negative emotion. Her research suggests that our body posture helps express our emotions and may help us feel certain emotions, too. This could be consequential — not just in the lab, but in real life, where it’s useful to know how we and other people are feeling in a certain situation. 28．(2.5分)Which emotion is most probably expressed by the least expansive posture? A．Dominance. B．Joy. C．Hope. D．Respect. 29．(2.5分)What does a man tend to do when he feels happy according to the text? A．Hold his arms high. B．Touch his face. C．Have his arms crossed. D．Shake his head. 30．(2.5分)Why did Van Cappellen have new participants look at the photos of mannequins? A．To find why the participants showed the different feelings. B．To know how people communicate with facial expressions. C．To figure out what different body postures may represent. D．To see if others can feel the same about the body postures. 31．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “consequential” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Embarrassing. B．Important. C．Flexible. D．Unusual. 【答案】28．C 29．A 30．D 31．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了除了面部表情，我们的身体姿势也在情感表达中扮演重要角色。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第三段“Van Cappellen found that people viewed an expansive posture as representing dominance. But joy and respect were also represented by expansive postures, with hope involving the least expansive posture. “We’re finding that positive emotions are also marked by expansiveness — especially joy,” she says.(范·卡佩伦发现，人们认为舒展的姿势代表着支配地位。但喜悦和尊重也表现在舒展的姿势上，而希望则表现在最不舒展的姿势上。“我们发现，积极的情绪也以广泛性为特征——尤其是快乐，”她说)”可知，表达希望之感时，人的身体伸展的空间最小。故选C项。 29．细节理解题，根据第四段“Besides, arm and head positions also mattered. For example, joyful postures were described by arms raised above the head, while respectful postures showed hands touching the face. Dominant postures, on the other hand, tended to show arms akimbo (双手叉腰) with the head facing forward.(此外，手臂和头的位置也很重要。例如，快乐的姿势被描述为手臂举过头顶，而恭敬的姿势则是双手触摸脸部。另一方面，优势姿势倾向于双臂叉腰，头部朝前)”可知，当一个人感到快乐时，倾向于把手高高举起。故选A项。 30．细节理解题。根据第五段“To know if other people seeing the mannequins could recognize the feelings being expressed by different postures, Van Cappellen had a new group of participants look at photos of mannequins posed in many different ways. The participants found that expansive postures with arms held high represented positive emotion — with arms akimbo representing dominance and negative emotion.(为了了解其他人看到人体模型是否能识别出不同姿势所表达的情感，范·卡佩伦让一组新的参与者看不同姿势的人体模型的照片。参与者发现手臂高举的伸展姿势代表积极的情绪，手臂叉腰的姿势代表支配和消极的情绪)”可知，Van Cappellen让新的参与者观看人体模型照片是想知晓其他人能否对肢体语言感同身受。故选D项。 31．词句猜测题。根据后文“where it’s useful to know how we and other people are feeling in a certain situation.(了解我们和其他人在特定情况下的感受是很有用的)”可知，这种技能是有用的，也就是重要的。由此推知，consequential意为“重要的”，和B项意思相近。故选B项。 （本题10分）When learning a foreign language, most people fall back on traditional methods: reading, writing, listening and repeating. But Brian Mathias’ research team found out that if you gesture with your arms while studying, you can remember the vocabulary better, even months later. As Mathias and his colleagues describe in the Journal of Neuroscience, they had 22 German-speaking adults learn a total of 90 invented artificial words (such as “lamube” for “camera” and “atesi” for “thought”) over four days. While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary, they were also shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the world. When the word was repeated, the subjects performed the gesture themselves. Five months later, they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learned into German. At the same time, they had equipment attached to their heads that sent weak magnetic pulses (磁脉冲) to their primary motor cortex — the brain area that controls arm movements. When these signals were active, the subjects found it harder to recall the words accompanied by gestures. When the equipment sent no distracting signals (but still appeared to the subjects to be active), they found it easier to remember the words. The researchers concluded that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learned with gestures. The effect did not occur when the test subjects were only presented with matching pictures instead of gestures when learning vocabulary. In contrast, children-unlike adults seem to benefit from pictures as much as gestures in the long run. In an experiment published in 2020, the Leipzig research group had young adults and eight-year-old children listen to new vocabulary for five days, sometimes paired with matching pictures or videos of gestures. After two months, the two methods still tied. But after six months, the adults benefited more from the gestures than the pictures, while the children were helped equally by both. 32．(2.5分)What can be learned about in paragraph 2? A．The purpose of the test. B．The subjects of the test. C．The process of the test. D．The outcome of the test. 33．(2.5分)What is the purpose of the experiment with magnetic pulses? A．To prove magnetic pulses damage language memory. B．To compare two different vocabulary memory results. C．To emphasize the participants’ courage for the challenge. D．To repeat the relationship between motor cortex and gesture-linked words. 34．(2.5分)What is the result of adult-child comparison experiment? A．Gestures are more effective than pictures for both age groups. B．Adults and children benefit equally from gestures in the long term. C．Pictures have a better effect than gestures for adults after two months. D．Gestures and pictures are equally helpful for children after six months. 35．(2.5分)Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage? A．How Gestures Give Your Word Memory a Hand B．Why Children Learn Languages Better Than Adults C．The Disadvantages of Traditional Language Learning D．Magnetic Pulses: A New Tool for Memory Enhancement 【答案】32．C 33．D 34．D 35．A 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了学习外语时配合手势能提升词汇记忆效果的研究，包括实验过程、脑科学验证及不同年龄段的效果差异。 32．细节理解题。根据第二段“As Mathias and his colleagues describe in the Journal of Neuroscience, they had 22 German-speaking adults learn a total of 90 invented artificial words (such as “lamube” for “camera” and “atesi” for “thought”) over four days. While the test subjects first heard the new vocabulary, they were also shown a video of a person making a gesture that matched the meaning of the world. When the word was repeated, the subjects performed the gesture themselves. (正如Mathias和他的同事在《神经科学杂志》上所描述的那样，他们让22名说德语的成年人在四天内学习了总共90个人工发明的单词(比如lamube代表camera，atesi代表thought)。当测试对象首先听到新词汇时，他们还观看了一段视频，视频中一个人做了一个与世界意义相匹配的手势。当重复这个词时，受试者自己做这个手势)”可知，第二段介绍了实验的开展过程。故选C项。 33．推理判断题。根据第三段“Five months later, they were asked to translate the vocabulary they had learned into German. At the same time, they had equipment attached to their heads that sent weak magnetic pulses (磁脉冲) to their primary motor cortex — the brain area that controls arm movements. (五个月后，他们被要求将所学的词汇翻译成德语。与此同时，在他们的头上安装了设备，向他们的初级运动皮层——控制手臂运动的大脑区域——发送弱磁脉冲)”及“The researchers concluded that the motor cortex contributed to the translation of the vocabulary learned with gestures. (研究人员得出结论：运动皮层有助于翻译通过手势学习的词汇)”可知，磁场脉冲实验的目的是验证运动皮层与手势关联词汇之间的关系。故选D项。 34．细节理解题。根据第四段“But after six months, the adults benefited more from the gestures than the pictures, while the children were helped equally by both. (但六个月后，成年人从手势中获得的收益多于图片，而儿童从两者中获得的帮助是均等的)”可知，六个月后手势和图片对儿童的帮助效果相当。故选D项。 35．主旨大意题。第一段介绍了传统外语学习方法，并引出研究结论——学习时配合手势能提升词汇记忆效果的；第二段说明了该研究的实验过程；第三段介绍了通过磁场脉冲验证运动皮层与手势关联词汇关系的实验；第四段说明了不同年龄段(成人与儿童)在手势、图片辅助词汇记忆上的效果差异。由此可知，本文围绕手势有助于提升外语词汇记忆效果这一核心研究展开，因此“How Gestures Give Your Word Memory a Hand (手势如何助力词汇记忆)”最适合作为文章标题。故选A项。 （本题12.5分）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. 36(2.5分) 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”. 37(2.5分) It fails to recognize eye contact as a dynamic and interactive process that requires intention and awareness. 38(2.5分) 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. 39(2.5分) 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. 40(2.5分) 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】36．F 37．A 38．C 39．G 40．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。 【详解】36．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。 37．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。 38．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。 39．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。 40．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。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）When we learned that a young client from Northern Africa would be arriving with a hearing disability, we did what seemed natural. We 41 our local partners and arranged for an American Sign Language (ASL) 42 to be present upon arrival. It was a reasonable response, but it wasn’t the 43 one. And we caught ourselves before it became a 44 . ASL is the dominant sign language in the US, but it is far from the 45 one. Across the world, hundreds of distinct sign languages have developed, each 46 by culture, geography, and community. A person with a hearing disability who grew up in North Africa almost certainly did not grow up 47 in ASL. Our team contacted the client’s family to understand how this person 48 . The conversations took time, but we got a clear picture of this individual’s 49 communication needs. We began searching for a 50 interpreter fluent in that specific language. It wasn’t 51 , but after extensive outreach, we found a university professor with exactly the expertise (专长) we needed. By the time our client 52 , everything was in place.

Just like spoken language, body language 57(1.5分) (vary) from culture to culture. The crucial thing is using body language in 58(1.5分) way that is appropriate to the culture you are in. For example, making eye contact in some countries is to display interest but is not always 59(1.5分) (approve) of in many Middle Eastern countries, where men and women are not 60(1.5分) (social) permitted to make eye contact. The gesture for “OK” has different meanings in different cultures. In Japan, someone 61(1.5分) witnesses another person employing the gesture might think it means money, while in France, a person 62(1.5分) (encounter) an identical gesture may interpret it as meaning zero. Some body language, like a smile, can help us get 63(1.5分) difficult situations and find friends in a world of strangers, and break down barriers. We can use a smile to make an 64(1.5分) (apologise), to greet someone, to ask for help, or to start a conversation. If we are feeling down or lonely, there is nothing 65(1.5分) (good) than seeing the smiling face of a good friend. 【答案】 56．what 57．varies 58．a 59．approved 60．socially 61．who/that 62．encountering 63．through 64．apology 65．better 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是在与他人互动时，我们既使用语言也使用肢体语言来表达想法，且肢体语言因文化而异。 【详解】56．考查宾语从句连接词。句意：我们在与他人交流时既使用语言也使用肢体语言来表达想法，通过观察他人的肢体语言，我们能了解到他们在想什么。此处引导宾语从句，作介词about的宾语，从句中缺少thinking的宾语，需用连接词what，表示“……的事情”。故填what。 57．考查时态和主谓一致。句意：就像口语一样，肢体语言也因文化而异。空处为句子谓语，句子描述客观事实，时态用一般现在时，主语body language是不可数名词，因此空格处用第三人称单数varies，故填varies。 58．考查冠词。句意：关键是要以一种适合你所处文化的方式使用肢体语言。此处泛指“一种方式”，“way”是以辅音音素开头的单词，需用不定冠词a修饰，in a way意为“以一种方式”。故填a。 59．考查动词语态。句意：例如，在一些国家，眼神交流是为了表达兴趣，但在许多中东国家并不总是被认可，在那里男性和女性在社交上不被允许进行眼神交流。“eye contact”与“approve”之间是被动关系（被认可），且前面有“is not always”，需用被动语态“be approved”。故填approved。 60．考查副词。句意：例如，在一些国家，眼神交流是为了表示兴趣，但在许多中东国家，眼神交流并不总是被认可的，在那里，男女在社交场合不被允许眼神交流。空格处用副词socially作状语修饰动词permitted，socially意为“在社交上”，故填socially。 61．考查定语从句。句意：在日本，目睹别人使用这个手势的人可能会认为这意味着钱，而在法国，遇到相同手势的人可能会认为这意味着零。空格处引导的是定语从句，从句中缺少主语，先行词someone是人，因此空格处用关系代词who或that引导定语从句，故填who/that。 62．考查非谓语动词。句意：在日本，目睹别人使用这个手势的人可能会认为这意味着钱，而在法国，遇到相同手势的人可能会认为这意味着零。句中谓语是“may interpret”，空格处作后置定语，a person和encounter之间是主动关系，因此空格处用现在分词表作后置定语主动，故填encountering。 63．考查介词。句意：一些肢体语言，比如微笑，可以帮助我们度过困境，在陌生人的世界里找到朋友，打破障碍。此处是固定搭配get through，意为“度过、熬过（困难时期）”。故填through。 64．考查名词。句意：我们可以用微笑来道歉，问候某人，寻求帮助，或者开始对话。空格处用名词作宾语，apologise的名词是apology，意为“道歉”，make an apology是固定短语，意为“道歉”，故填apology。 65．考查比较级。句意：如果我们感到沮丧或孤独，没有什么比看到好朋友的笑脸更好的了。根据句中的than可知，此处需用形容词比较级，good的比较级是better。故填better。 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）假设你是李华，你的英国网友Peter即将首次来中国。他在邮件中向你倾诉，担心因不了解中国的肢体语言导致沟通不畅，甚至产生误会。请你根据以下要点给他回一封邮件： 1.理解他的担忧； 2.提供与中国人交流时实用的建议（可参考肢体语言、日常礼仪等方面）。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Peter, _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Peter, I’m sorry to hear that you’re worried about communication problems due to unfamiliarity with Chinese body language. I completely understand your concern. Here are some practical suggestions for communicating with Chinese people. When you greet somebody, a firm handshake is a common and appropriate gesture. Besides, when giving or receiving things, use both hands to show respect. A slight bow is also polite. I hope these suggestions will help you have a smooth communication in China. Looking forward to seeing you soon. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文，要求考生给Peter写一封建议信，理解他对沟通的担忧，并给出实用建议。 【详解】1. 词汇积累 担心：worried→concerned 因为：due to→because of/owing to 实用的：practical→useful 合适的：appropriate→proper 2. 句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：Besides, when giving or receiving things, use both hands to show respect. 拓展句：Besides, when you give or receive things, use both hands to show respect. 【点睛】【高分句型1】I’m sorry to hear that you’re worried about communication problems due to unfamiliarity with Chinese body language.(运用了that引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】Besides, when giving or receiving things, use both hands to show respect.(运用了状语从句的省略、不定式作目的状语) 六、书面表达 67．（本题25分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 The Freshest Bakery was in a small town called Balminster. It made bread for supermarkets in a nearby city. The bakery had been there for a long time and most of the machines were old. The factory engineer, Frank, was good at maintaining (维修) the machines and most of the time there were no problems. One Tuesday, Frank was finishing work. The manager came out of his office. “You have a day off tomorrow,” he said to Frank. “Yes!” smiled Frank. “My son is graduating from university! Tomorrow I will go to the graduation ceremony!” He planned to leave at 6 am and had enough time to drive there. At 4:30 am the next morning, Frank got a phone call from the factory, asking him to repair the broken oven at once. Oh no! thought Frank. He hoped he could fix it quickly. He took his suit to the factory, so he could drive from there to the university. When he arrived at the factory, all the workers and the manager were waiting for him. “Thank you, Frank,” said the manager. “I know this is a big day for you, but we must bake the bread.” Frank went to look at the big bread oven. Then he went back to the manager. “I can fix it, but it will take a long time. I will be too late for the graduation ceremony.” The manager felt very bad. But Frank knew they had to make bread and get it to the supermarkets today, or the supermarkets would turn to a newer bakery. All the workers would lose their jobs. Frank worked hard to fix the bread oven. At 7:00 am he finished, and the loaves of bread started rolling into the oven to be baked. “We will be on time for our supermarket deliveries!” The manager was very happy. “You can go now,” he said to Frank. “Enjoy your son’s graduation.” “It’s too late,” said Frank sadly. “I cannot drive there in time.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Usually the workers talked a lot and laughed, but today, everyone was very quiet. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “Fly to the university?” the manager remembered his old friend, a helicopter company manager. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】     Usually the workers talked a lot and laughed, but today, everyone was very quiet. They felt sorry that Frank was going to fail to meet his son on this special day because of the maintenance. They were so grateful for what Frank had done for them that they concentrated more attentively on their work than usual in order to make more delicious bread, for which the factory would win a better reputation and thus make a healthier profit. Meanwhile, though eager to be with his son, Frank attempted to keep calm as if it had been a common day to relieve his co-workers. The manager could really feel how Frank felt. He kept wondering what he could do for him. Suddenly, an idea occurred to him. “Fly to the university?” the manager remembered his old friend, a helicopter company manager. Jumping with joy, he got in touch with his friend right away and succeeded in renting a helicopter, with which he could make Frank’s day. The workers were all relieved to see this surprise. With all the wishes from his co-workers, Frank managed to arrive at the university in time and spent great time with his son on this big day. After hearing what happened, “Dad, you really taught me a significant lesson that I’ll never forget today. You did right. You are my hero. I’ll always try to do something meaningful for others whenever I can.” the son said with pride. 【导语】本文以事件为线索展开，讲述了修理师因为帮助修理面包机器而差点错过儿子重要的毕业典礼，最终在面包厂经理的帮助下通过直升机的方式赶上了重要的日子的动人故事，告诉人们帮助别人就是在帮助自己，善意总会得到回应。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由续写段落第一段首句内容“通常工人们谈笑风生，但是今天每个人都很安静。”可知，第一段可描写工友们和经理的所想所做，以及Frank本人的心理活动。 ②由续写段落第二段首句内容“‘飞到学校去？’经理想起了他的老朋友，一个直升机公司经理”可知，第二段可描写经理通过直升机帮助Frank实现愿望，儿子对父亲的评价，最后升华主题。 2.续写线索：工友们所想所做——Frank的想法——经理想办法——借到直升机成功到达学校——儿子了解经过——升华主题 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①专注：concentrate on/focus on/be absorbed in ②努力尝试：attempted /tried/made effort ③与……取得联系：get in touch with/contact ④成功：succeed/manage to/make it ⑤使某人一天开心：make one’s day/make sb happy all day/to delight/to amuse 情绪类 ①安静的：quiet/silent/still ②感激的：grateful/thankful/with gratitude ③如释重负的：Relieved/Taking a load off sb’s mind ④渴望的：eager/desperate/dying/longing ⑤自豪的：with pride/ proudly 【点睛】[高分句型1].
