However, anyone can boost their confidence by ensuring their, body language conveys a positive message.Practice these gestures and movements to project an airport confidence. Lean Forward When you are in a conversation, leaning forward indicates interest and attention, while maintaining distance indicates that you are disinterested. Research suggests that nonverbal signals such as leaning forward and facing straight ahead help convey feelings of interest. Slow Your Movements Fast movements make you appear more anxious. Everything from hand gestures to your walking pace can make a difference; slow down and notice how you feel more confident when you take your time. The key, however, is to maintain other signals like eye contact and posture while moving more slowly. Slow movements combined with poor eye contact and slouched (耷拉的) posture may cause people to see you less confident. Keep Your Chin Up Do you look at the ground when you are walking or talking? Instead, keeping your head up and facing your conversation partner conveys interest and confidence. It might feel unnatural initially, but you will eventually become used to this more confident pose. Give a Firm Handshake A weak handshake is a sign of a lack of confidence, so offer a firm hand when meeting others. How long your handshake lasts can also influence how people perceive you. Research has found that the length of a normal handshake is around three seconds or less. Handshakes lasting longer than three seconds are associated with less enjoyment of the interaction and more anxiety. 21．(2.5分)Which way of walking conveys confidence? A．Walk fast with head straight up. B．Move fast with a leaning posture. C．Walk slowly with proper eye contact. D．Move slowly with maintained distance. 22．(2.5分)Which body language requires considering the length of time? A．Lean Forward. B．Slow Your Movements. C．Keep Your Chin Up. D．Give a Firm Handshake. 23．(2.5分)Who is the text intended for? A．Those who have a passion for body language. B．Those who run projects about body language. C．Those who lack confidence in communication. D．Those who desire to boost their language skills. （本题10分）During my summer job in Tokyo last year, I discovered how easily body language can create misunderstandings across cultures. After doing well in my interview, I confidently entered the meeting room for my final presentation, eager to share my carefully prepared sales strategy. When the CEO asked about my approach, I sat back in my chair and crossed my arms — a posture (姿势) I considered thoughtful and professional in America. The atmosphere changed immediately. My boss’ smile froze, and the CEO’s clear disapproval appeared. I later learned that in Japan, crossed arms signal arrogance (傲慢) or disagreement — completely contrary to the professional image I wanted to convey. Despite my perfect PowerPoint presentation, I couldn’t undo that inappropriate behavior. While I didn’t recognize my cultural mistake at the moment, I could easily feel the tension mounting as I continued speaking. My Japanese colleague Rina quietly demonstrated to me the right way to behave during the Q&A session. She rested her hands on her lap and leaned forward slightly to show engagement. I immediately mirrored her posture. As I adapted my body language to Japanese ways, the manager visibly relaxed. This experience taught me that true cultural fluency extends far beyond language proficiency or technical expertise. Now, I make it a priority to research local customs before any international meeting. My studies have revealed fascinating cultural differences. Brazilians maintain smaller personal space during conversations. Germans value firm handshakes with sustained eye contact. And the French may exchange cheek kisses in business settings — but only after establishing close professional relationships. This journey has shown me that authentic professional competence requires mindfulness not just of our words, but of our physical presence across cultural contexts. The ability to “speak” through appropriate body language is just as crucial as verbal (言语的) communication in today’s global business environment, and sometimes even more important than spoken language. 24．(2.5分)What caused the sudden tension in the meeting? A．The author’s improper behavior. B．The assistant’s technical errors. C．The CEO’s unreasonable demand. D．The coworker’s sudden interruption. 25．(2.5分)How did Rina help the author during the Q&A session? A．By simplifying his slides. B．By correcting his grammar. C．By modeling proper postures. D．By translating the questions. 26．(2.5分)Why does the author mention different countries’ customs? A．To share his learning process. B．To prepare for his next journey. C．To appreciate uniqueness of culture. D．To show diversity of body language. 27．(2.5分)What lesson has the author learned in Tokyo? A．Good business is built on good language. B．Wisdom counts more than spoken language. C．A country’s language is as important as its culture. D．Body language is vital in cross-cultural communication. （本题10分）We all know that a powerful body posture may help people feel more confident. But will it work on students? A new study by researchers from the Martin Luther University (MLU) of Halle-Wittenberg is carried out to find the connection. And it does provide evidence that simple body postures can help students feel better in school. Some body postures don’t need further explanation. When a man sits with his arms crossed behind his head, resting his feet on a table, he is probably feeling very self-confident. Arms folded in front of one’s body and a bent back, on the other hand, typically mean anxiety and insecurity. “Body language is not just about expressing feelings, it can also have a great influence on how a person feels,” explains Robert Körner from the Institute of Psychology at MLU. Research on powerful body postures tries to find out the extent to which a certain body posture might influence a person’s feelings and self-confidence. Up to now, most of the research has been about studying the effects on adults. Körner’s study is the first to examine children. “Children from the age of five are able to recognize and understand the body postures of others,” the professor adds. The researchers carried out their experiment with 108 fourth graders. One group was to assume two open postures for one minute each. The other group posed with their arms folded in front of them and their heads down. The children then finished a series of psychological tests. The children who had assumed an open posture showed better moods and reported higher self-confidence than the children in the other group. The effects were particularly manifest when it came to questions concerning school. “Here, powerful body postures had the strongest effect on the children’s self-confidence,” says Körner. “Teachers could try and see whether this method helps their students.” However, Körner states that expectations about this technique should be mild. The effects were only short-term. Serious problems or mental illness must be treated by trained professionals. 28．(2.5分)How does Körner feel about the short-term effects of powerful postures? A．He thinks they are useless. B．He believes they are significant enough for teachers to adopt in class. C．He argues they are too strong and harmful. D．He claims they last for years. 29．(2.5分)What is the new research on powerful body postures mainly about? A．What the most popular postures are. B．How children’s postures differ from adults’. C．Why body language can express a person’s feelings. D．What effects postures have on students’ feelings. 30．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “manifest” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Strange. B．Obvious. C．Unclear. D．Manageable. 31．(2.5分)What is Körner’s attitude to teachers’ applying the findings in teaching? A．Worried. B．Doubtful. C．Objective. D．Supportive. （本题10分）People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions — and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why. Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes. “We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and overlook the mouth.” According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations. The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted (厌恶的), angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies. It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,” Jack said. “Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.” In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified (多样化) these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation. 32．(2.5分)The discovery shows that Westerners ________. A．consider facial expressions universally reliable B．observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways C．have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions D．pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth 33．(2.5分)What were the people asked to do in the study? A．To classify some face pictures. B．To make a face at each other. C．To get their faces impressive. D．To observe the researchers’ faces. 34．(2.5分)What key weakness might critics highlight about the study’s design? A．Dependence on subjective emotion categorization. B．Lack of more diverse American cultural groups. C．Use of posed photos instead of natural expressions. D．Failure to track eye movements during observation. 35．(2.5分)What can be the best title for the passage? A．Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions B．The Eye as the Window to the Soul C．Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills D．How to Increase Cross-cultural Understanding （本题12.5分）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. 36(2.5分) 1. Posture and Confidence 37(2.5分) 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. 38(2.5分) 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. 39(2.5分) 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. 40(2.5分) 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. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）While high school does not generally encourage students to explore new aspects of life, college sets the stage for that exploration. I myself went through this 41 process and found something that has changed my 42 at college for the better: I discovered ASL— American Sign Language. I never felt an urge to learn any sign language before. My entire family is hearing, and so are all my friends. The 43 languages were enough in all my interactions. Little did I know that I would discover my 44 for ASL. The 45 began during my first week at college. I watched as the ASL Club 46 their translation of a song. Both the hand movements and the very idea of communicating without speaking 47 me. What I saw was completely unlike anything I had experienced in the past. This newness just left me 48 more. After that, feeling the need to explore further, I decided to drop in on one of ASL club’s meetings. I only learned how to 49 the alphabet (字母) that day. Yet instead of being 50 by my slow progress, I was excited. I then made it a point to 51 those meetings and learn all I could. The following term, I 52 an ASL class. The professor was deaf and any talking was 53 . I soon realized that the silence was not unpleasant. 54 , if there had been any talking, it would have caused us to learn less. Now, I appreciate the silence and the 55 way of communication it opens. 41．(1分)A．searching B．planning C．evaluating D．founding 42．(1分)A．progress B．experience C．major D．route 43．(1分)A．official B．foreign C．body D．spoken 44．(1分)A．passion B．concern C．objective D．request 45．(1分)A．meeting B．trip C．story D．task 46．(1分)A．recorded B．performed C．adopted D．discussed 47．(1分)A．bothered B．supported C．embarrassed D．attracted 48．(1分)A．displaying B．acting C．saying D．wanting 49．(1分)A．print B．write C．sign D．count 50．(1分)A．inspired B．discouraged C．acknowledged D．distracted 51．(1分)A．chair B．schedule C．attend D．organize 52．(1分)A．called off B．took over C．gave up D．registered for 53．(1分)A．prohibited B．advocated C．ignored D．repeated 54．(1分)A．Lastly B．Consequently C．Instead D．Nevertheless 55．(1分)A．easy B．potential C．quick D．new 四、语法填空 （本题15分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Meta communication is like a secret language that we all use without 56(1.5分) (realize) it. Think of it as the “how” of what we say, not just the “what”. When we talk, we don’t just use words. We use our tone, our body language, 57(1.5分) even the pauses between words. All of these things send messages. That’s meta communication. Let me share an example. I once had an 58(1.5分) (employ) who always said, “Sure, no problem” whenever I gave her a task. It sounded great, didn’t it? But her slumped shoulders (下垂的肩膀) and quiet sigh told 59(1.5分) different story. Her words were positive, but her body language revealed she was stressed. This is meta communication in action. The literal meaning of her words was positive, but the real message 60(1.5分) (hide) in how she said it. Understanding meta communication can make you a better leader, friend and problem solver, 61(1.5分) helps you understand what people really mean, not just what they say. So next time you are in a conversation, pay attention 62(1.5分) more than just the words. Listen to the tone, watch the body language and 63(1.5分) (face) expressions, and trust your instincts (直觉). You might be surprised by what you discover! Everyone conveys (传递) their messages 64(1.5分) (different). Use this knowledge to understand others better and to express 65(1.5分) (you) more clearly. That’s the real power of meta communication. 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）你校英语报正在征稿，主题为“生活中的微笑”，请你写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1. 介绍微笑的作用；2. 分享你的感受。 注意：写作词数应为100左右。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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。 When I was in Grade One, most of my classmates didn’t like to play with me because I was always shy and silent. However, I always got high grades in both exams and activities. Gradually, I got the respect of my classmates. And my teachers repeatedly praised me and asked me to assist my classmates in their study. Besides, there were various competitions in my school and I was always chosen as the representative of our class. However, life is not always happy. There are times when we experience ups and downs. When I was in Grade Three, a student named Vannilyn came to our school, and she was placed in the class next to mine. Months passed and the result of the mid-term examination was released. I was still the No. 1 in my class and I heard that Vannilyn was the No. 1 in her class. However, I just ignored her and in my thought, I was still superior because I was a seasoned pupil. There were times when I didn’t want to open my books to read and study for our next day’s lesson. When I did my homework, I became careless and I didn’t even mind whether my handwriting looked beautiful or not. What’s worse, I gradually became addicted to computer games. And because of that, my teachers began to criticise me and what made me angry was that they always mentioned Vannilyn in front of me! I got annoyed every time my teachers compared me with Vannilyn. I was discouraged and no longer followed their instructions. At the end of the first term, the principal’s assistant announced the final examination result, and I still ranked No. 1. Therefore, I became prouder and told myself that I would still be the best student even if I didn’t study hard. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I was overconfident and didn’t pay much attention to my study. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Three days later, the result of the English Spelling competition was announced. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 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（适中版02） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）Which communication skill does the man probably need to work on?

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.

A．Buying uniforms. B．Choosing suitable ones. C．Wearing them in advance. 19．(1.5分)What helps leave a great first impression? A．Using right body language. B．Answering questions smartly. C．Showing your readiness to learn. 20．(1.5分)Who is the speaker probably talking to? A．College applicants. B．New employees. C．Job seekers. 【答案】18．C 19．A 20．C 【原文】 M: So let's go over the key points again. First clothes. You need to make sure you wear the right kind of uniform. Perhaps your suit is perfect for a graduation ceremony, but is it the right one for work? Select the clothes that match the look you want. If you need to buy some new clothes then get used to wearing them for at least two days so that you don’t feel too awkward or self conscious. It’s okay if they are not brand new, but it’s not if they limit your performance. Next remember, you never get a second chance to make a good first impression. Walk in confidently and look as if you really want the job. When you sit down, sit up straight, keep your hands open and relaxed on your lap, don’t cross your arms or legs. However, a good first impression is not enough. You need to be smart when answering questions. If asked about the reason for quitting your last job, never criticize your past employers or bosses. It’s the kiss of death. Try to answer from a perspective like your personal development. It’ll show that you have matured and are ready to learn. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）People who don’t feel confident in social situations often have trouble interacting with others. However, anyone can boost their confidence by ensuring their, body language conveys a positive message.Practice these gestures and movements to project an airport confidence. Lean Forward When you are in a conversation, leaning forward indicates interest and attention, while maintaining distance indicates that you are disinterested. Research suggests that nonverbal signals such as leaning forward and facing straight ahead help convey feelings of interest. Slow Your Movements Fast movements make you appear more anxious. Everything from hand gestures to your walking pace can make a difference; slow down and notice how you feel more confident when you take your time. The key, however, is to maintain other signals like eye contact and posture while moving more slowly. Slow movements combined with poor eye contact and slouched (耷拉的) posture may cause people to see you less confident. Keep Your Chin Up Do you look at the ground when you are walking or talking? Instead, keeping your head up and facing your conversation partner conveys interest and confidence. It might feel unnatural initially, but you will eventually become used to this more confident pose. Give a Firm Handshake A weak handshake is a sign of a lack of confidence, so offer a firm hand when meeting others. How long your handshake lasts can also influence how people perceive you. Research has found that the length of a normal handshake is around three seconds or less. Handshakes lasting longer than three seconds are associated with less enjoyment of the interaction and more anxiety. 21．(2.5分)Which way of walking conveys confidence? A．Walk fast with head straight up. B．Move fast with a leaning posture. C．Walk slowly with proper eye contact. D．Move slowly with maintained distance. 22．(2.5分)Which body language requires considering the length of time? A．Lean Forward. B．Slow Your Movements. C．Keep Your Chin Up. D．Give a Firm Handshake. 23．(2.5分)Who is the text intended for? A．Those who have a passion for body language. B．Those who run projects about body language. C．Those who lack confidence in communication. D．Those who desire to boost their language skills. 【答案】21．C 22．D 23．C 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四种可以增强自信的手势和动作。 【详解】21．细节理解题。根据小标题Slow Your Movements下的“The key, however, is to maintain other signals like eye contact and posture while moving more slowly. (然而，关键是保持其他信号，如眼神交流和姿势，同时移动得更慢)”可知，缓慢行走，眼神交流得当可以传达自信，故选C项。 22．细节理解题。根据小标题Give a Firm Handshake下的“How long your handshake lasts can also influence how people perceive you. (你的握手持续多长时间也会影响人们对你的看法)”可知，握手需要考虑时间长短，故选D项。 23．推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“People who don’t feel confident in social situations often have trouble interacting with others. (在社交场合不自信的人往往难以与他人互动)”可知，文章是写给那些对沟通缺乏信心的人，故选C项。 （本题10分）During my summer job in Tokyo last year, I discovered how easily body language can create misunderstandings across cultures. After doing well in my interview, I confidently entered the meeting room for my final presentation, eager to share my carefully prepared sales strategy. When the CEO asked about my approach, I sat back in my chair and crossed my arms — a posture (姿势) I considered thoughtful and professional in America. The atmosphere changed immediately. My boss’ smile froze, and the CEO’s clear disapproval appeared. I later learned that in Japan, crossed arms signal arrogance (傲慢) or disagreement — completely contrary to the professional image I wanted to convey. Despite my perfect PowerPoint presentation, I couldn’t undo that inappropriate behavior. While I didn’t recognize my cultural mistake at the moment, I could easily feel the tension mounting as I continued speaking. My Japanese colleague Rina quietly demonstrated to me the right way to behave during the Q&A session. She rested her hands on her lap and leaned forward slightly to show engagement. I immediately mirrored her posture. As I adapted my body language to Japanese ways, the manager visibly relaxed. This experience taught me that true cultural fluency extends far beyond language proficiency or technical expertise. Now, I make it a priority to research local customs before any international meeting. My studies have revealed fascinating cultural differences. Brazilians maintain smaller personal space during conversations. Germans value firm handshakes with sustained eye contact. And the French may exchange cheek kisses in business settings — but only after establishing close professional relationships. This journey has shown me that authentic professional competence requires mindfulness not just of our words, but of our physical presence across cultural contexts. The ability to “speak” through appropriate body language is just as crucial as verbal (言语的) communication in today’s global business environment, and sometimes even more important than spoken language. 24．(2.5分)What caused the sudden tension in the meeting? A．The author’s improper behavior. B．The assistant’s technical errors. C．The CEO’s unreasonable demand. D．The coworker’s sudden interruption. 25．(2.5分)How did Rina help the author during the Q&A session? A．By simplifying his slides. B．By correcting his grammar. C．By modeling proper postures. D．By translating the questions. 26．(2.5分)Why does the author mention different countries’ customs? A．To share his learning process. B．To prepare for his next journey. C．To appreciate uniqueness of culture. D．To show diversity of body language. 27．(2.5分)What lesson has the author learned in Tokyo? A．Good business is built on good language. B．Wisdom counts more than spoken language. C．A country’s language is as important as its culture. D．Body language is vital in cross-cultural communication. 【答案】24．A 25．C 26．D 27．D 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在日本东京暑期实习期间，因文化差异导致的肢体语言误解，以及由此学到的跨文化交际经验。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第二段“When the CEO asked about my approach, I sat back in my chair and crossed my arms — a posture (姿势) I considered thoughtful and professional in America. The atmosphere changed immediately. My boss’ smile froze, and the CEO’s clear disapproval appeared. I later learned that in Japan, crossed arms signal arrogance (傲慢) or disagreement — completely contrary to the professional image I wanted to convey. (当首席执行官询问我的方法时，我靠在椅子上，双臂交叉——这种姿势在美国我认为是深思熟虑且专业的。气氛立刻变了。我老板的笑容僵住了，首席执行官明显表示不赞成。后来我了解到，在日本，双臂交叉表示傲慢或不同意——这与我想传达的专业形象完全相反)”以及第三段“Despite my perfect PowerPoint presentation, I couldn't undo that inappropriate behavior. While I didn't recognize my cultural mistake at the moment, I could easily feel the tension mounting as I continued speaking. (尽管我的幻灯片展示很完美，但我无法挽回那种不恰当的行为。虽然当时我没有意识到我的文化错误，但当我继续讲话时，我很容易感觉到紧张气氛在加剧)” 可知，是作者不恰当的行为导致了会议中突然的紧张气氛。故选A项。 25．细节理解题。根据第四段中“My Japanese colleague Rina quietly demonstrated me the right way to behave during the Q&A session. She rested her hands on her lap and leaned forward slightly to show engagement. I immediately mirrored her posture. As I adapted my body language to Japanese ways, the manager visibly relaxed. (我的日本同事丽娜在问答环节悄悄地向我展示了正确的行为方式。她把手放在膝盖上，微微向前倾，以表示专注。我立刻模仿了她的姿势。当我使我的肢体语言适应日本的方式时，经理明显放松了下来)”可知，丽娜通过示范恰当的姿势来帮助作者。故选C项。 26．推理判断题。根据第五段“Now, I make it a priority to research local customs before any international meeting. My studies have revealed fascinating cultural differences. Brazilians maintain smaller personal space during conversations. Germans value firm handshakes with sustained eye contact. And the French may exchange cheek kisses in business settings — but only after establishing close professional relationships. (现在，我把在任何国际会议前研究当地习俗作为优先事项。我的研究揭示了有趣的文化差异。巴西人在交谈时保持较小的私人空间。德国人重视有力的握手和持续的眼神交流。法国人可能会在商务场合亲吻脸颊——但前提是建立了密切的职业关系)”可推知，作者提到不同国家的习俗是为了展示肢体语言的多样性。故选D项。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“This journey has shown me that authentic professional competence requires mindfulness not just of our words, but of our physical presence across cultural contexts. The ability to “speak” through appropriate body language is just as crucial as verbal (言语的) communication in today’s global business environment, and sometimes even more important than spoken language. (这段经历告诉我，真正的专业能力不仅需要注意我们的言辞，还需要注意我们在不同文化背景下的肢体表现。在当今的全球商业环境中，通过恰当的肢体语言“表达”的能力与言语交流同样重要，有时甚至比口语更重要)”可推知，作者在东京学到了肢体语言在跨文化交流中至关重要。故选D项。 （本题10分）We all know that a powerful body posture may help people feel more confident. But will it work on students? A new study by researchers from the Martin Luther University (MLU) of Halle-Wittenberg is carried out to find the connection. And it does provide evidence that simple body postures can help students feel better in school. Some body postures don’t need further explanation. When a man sits with his arms crossed behind his head, resting his feet on a table, he is probably feeling very self-confident. Arms folded in front of one’s body and a bent back, on the other hand, typically mean anxiety and insecurity. “Body language is not just about expressing feelings, it can also have a great influence on how a person feels,” explains Robert Körner from the Institute of Psychology at MLU. Research on powerful body postures tries to find out the extent to which a certain body posture might influence a person’s feelings and self-confidence. Up to now, most of the research has been about studying the effects on adults. Körner’s study is the first to examine children. “Children from the age of five are able to recognize and understand the body postures of others,” the professor adds. The researchers carried out their experiment with 108 fourth graders. One group was to assume two open postures for one minute each. The other group posed with their arms folded in front of them and their heads down. The children then finished a series of psychological tests. The children who had assumed an open posture showed better moods and reported higher self-confidence than the children in the other group. The effects were particularly manifest when it came to questions concerning school. “Here, powerful body postures had the strongest effect on the children’s self-confidence,” says Körner. “Teachers could try and see whether this method helps their students.” However, Körner states that expectations about this technique should be mild. The effects were only short-term. Serious problems or mental illness must be treated by trained professionals. 28．(2.5分)How does Körner feel about the short-term effects of powerful postures? A．He thinks they are useless. B．He believes they are significant enough for teachers to adopt in class. C．He argues they are too strong and harmful. D．He claims they last for years. 29．(2.5分)What is the new research on powerful body postures mainly about? A．What the most popular postures are. B．How children’s postures differ from adults’. C．Why body language can express a person’s feelings. D．What effects postures have on students’ feelings. 30．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “manifest” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A．Strange. B．Obvious. C．Unclear. D．Manageable. 31．(2.5分)What is Körner’s attitude to teachers’ applying the findings in teaching? A．Worried. B．Doubtful. C．Objective. D．Supportive. 【答案】28．B 29．D 30．B 31．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍马丁・路德大学的研究表明有力的身体姿势对学生情绪和自信有短期积极影响，及相关实验与应用建议。 28．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““Teachers could try and see whether this method helps their students.” However, Körner states that expectations about this technique should be mild. The effects were only short-term.(“教师们可以尝试看看这种方法是否对学生有帮助。”然而，科尔纳表示，对这种技术的期望应该适度。其效果只是短期的) ”可知，科尔纳认为有力姿势的短期效果值得教师在课堂上尝试，同时提醒期望需适度。故选B项。 29．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But will it work on students? A new study by researchers from the Martin Luther University (MLU) of Halle-Wittenberg is carried out to find the connection. And it does provide evidence that simple body postures can help students feel better in school.(但这对学生有用吗？哈勒 - 维滕贝格马丁・路德大学的研究人员开展了一项新研究，旨在寻找这种联系。研究确实提供了证据，表明简单的身体姿势能帮助学生在学校感觉更好)”可知，这项新研究主要关注姿势对学生情绪的影响。故选D项。 30．词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“The children who had assumed an open posture showed better moods and reported higher self-confidence than the children in the other group. The effects were particularly manifest when it came to questions concerning school.(采取开放姿势的孩子比另一组孩子表现出更好的情绪和更高的自信心。在涉及学校的问题上，这种效果尤为manifest)”可知，前文已说明开放姿势的积极效果，后文强调在学校相关问题上效果更突出，因此manifest意为“明显的”，与obvious同义。故选B项。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Teachers could try and see whether this method helps their students.” However, Körner states that expectations about this technique should be mild. The effects were only short-term. Serious problems or mental illness must be treated by trained professionals.(“教师们可以尝试看看这种方法是否对学生有帮助。”然而，科尔纳表示，对这种技术的期望应该适度。其效果只是短期的。严重的问题或精神疾病必须由训练有素的专业人员治疗)”可知，科尔纳既建议教师尝试，又客观指出效果的局限性和适用范围，态度是客观的。故选C项。 （本题10分）People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions — and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why. Rachael Jack, University of Glasgow researcher, said that rather than scanning evenly across a face as Westerners do, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes. “We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and overlook the mouth.” According to Jack and her colleagues, the discovery shows that human communication of emotion is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to reliably convey emotion in cross-cultural situations. The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted (厌恶的), angry, or neutral. They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies. It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions,” Jack said. “Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.” In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, examining how cultural factors have diversified (多样化) these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation. 32．(2.5分)The discovery shows that Westerners ________. A．consider facial expressions universally reliable B．observe the eyes and the mouth in different ways C．have more difficulty in recognizing facial expressions D．pay equal attention to the eyes and the mouth 33．(2.5分)What were the people asked to do in the study? A．To classify some face pictures. B．To make a face at each other. C．To get their faces impressive. D．To observe the researchers’ faces. 34．(2.5分)What key weakness might critics highlight about the study’s design? A．Dependence on subjective emotion categorization. B．Lack of more diverse American cultural groups. C．Use of posed photos instead of natural expressions. D．Failure to track eye movements during observation. 35．(2.5分)What can be the best title for the passage? A．Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions B．The Eye as the Window to the Soul C．Effective Methods to Develop Social Skills D．How to Increase Cross-cultural Understanding 【答案】32．D 33．A 34．C 35．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍研究发现东西方人识别面部表情存在差异，因二者关注的面部部位不同，且面部表情并非通用的人类情绪信号。 32．细节理解题。根据第三段中“Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, whereas Easterners favor the eyes and overlook the mouth.(西方人会同等地关注眼睛和嘴巴，而东方人更关注眼睛，忽视嘴巴)”可知，西方人对眼睛和嘴巴给予同等的关注。故选D。 33．细节理解题。根据第五段中“The researchers studied cultural differences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western Caucasian and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral.(研究人员记录了13名西方白人和13名东亚人的眼球运动，这些受试者观察带有表情的面部照片并将其分类为开心、悲伤、惊讶、恐惧、厌恶、愤怒或中性，以此研究面部表情识别中的文化差异)”可知，研究中受试者被要求对一些面部照片进行分类。故选A。 34．推理判断题。根据第五段中研究的操作方式“they observed pictures of expressive faces(他们观察带有表情的面部照片)” 可知，研究使用的是摆拍的表情照片，而非现实中自然流露的面部表情，这是研究设计中批评者可能强调的关键缺陷。故选C。 35．主旨大意题。根据第一段中“People from East Asia tend to have more difficulty than those from Europe in distinguishing facial expressions — and a new report published online in Current Biology explains why.(东亚人比欧洲人更难分辨面部表情，《当代生物学》在线发表的一份新报告解释了原因)”以及全文围绕东西方人识别面部表情的文化差异展开分析可知，本文核心是讲述解读情绪时的文化差异。A选项“Cultural Differences in Reading Emotions(解读情感的文化差异)”最适合作为标题。故选A。 （本题12.5分）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. 36(2.5分) 1. Posture and Confidence 37(2.5分) 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. 38(2.5分) 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. 39(2.5分) 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. 40(2.5分) 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】36．D 37．B 38．E 39．F 40．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。 【详解】36．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.

Little did I know that I would discover my 44 for ASL. The 45 began during my first week at college. I watched as the ASL Club 46 their translation of a song. Both the hand movements and the very idea of communicating without speaking 47 me. What I saw was completely unlike anything I had experienced in the past. This newness just left me 48 more. After that, feeling the need to explore further, I decided to drop in on one of ASL club’s meetings. I only learned how to 49 the alphabet (字母) that day. Yet instead of being 50 by my slow progress, I was excited. I then made it a point to 51 those meetings and learn all I could. The following term, I 52 an ASL class. The professor was deaf and any talking was 53 . I soon realized that the silence was not unpleasant. 54 , if there had been any talking, it would have caused us to learn less.

Think of it as the “how” of what we say, not just the “what”. When we talk, we don’t just use words. We use our tone, our body language, 57(1.5分) even the pauses between words. All of these things send messages. That’s meta communication. Let me share an example. I once had an 58(1.5分) (employ) who always said, “Sure, no problem” whenever I gave her a task. It sounded great, didn’t it? But her slumped shoulders (下垂的肩膀) and quiet sigh told 59(1.5分) different story. Her words were positive, but her body language revealed she was stressed. This is meta communication in action. The literal meaning of her words was positive, but the real message 60(1.5分) (hide) in how she said it. Understanding meta communication can make you a better leader, friend and problem solver, 61(1.5分) helps you understand what people really mean, not just what they say. So next time you are in a conversation, pay attention 62(1.5分) more than just the words. Listen to the tone, watch the body language and 63(1.5分) (face) expressions, and trust your instincts (直觉). You might be surprised by what you discover! Everyone conveys (传递) their messages 64(1.5分) (different). Use this knowledge to understand others better and to express 65(1.5分) (you) more clearly. That’s the real power of meta communication. 【答案】 56．realizing 57．and 58．employee 59．a 60．was hidden 61．which 62．to 63．facial 64．differently 65．yourself 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了元交流的概念，通过例子说明其重要性，强调关注非言语信息以更好理解他人和表达自己。 【详解】56．考查非谓语动词。句意：元交流就像一种我们都在使用却没有意识到的秘密语言。介词without后接动名词形式realizing作宾语，故填realizing。 57．考查连词。句意：我们使用我们的语调、肢体语言，甚至词语之间的停顿。结合语境可知，our tone, our body language和even the pauses between words是并列关系，应用并列连词and连接，故填and。 58．考查名词。句意：我曾经有一个员工，每当我给她一项任务时，她总是说：“当然，没问题”。根据句中whenever I gave her a task可知，空处应用名词employee，意为“员工”，根据空前的an可知，此处应填可数名词单数，故填employee。 59．考查冠词。句意：但她下垂的肩膀和轻轻的叹息讲述了另一个故事。story是可数名词，此处表示泛指，且different是以辅音音素开头的单词，应用不定冠词a，故填a。 60．考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：她话语的字面意思是积极的，但真正的信息隐藏在她说话的方式中。根据句中was可知，此处描述的是过去发生的事情，应用一般过去时；主语the real message和动词hide之间是被动关系，应用被动语态；主语是单数，be动词用was，故填was hidden。 61．考查定语从句。句意：理解元交流可以让你成为更好的领导者、朋友和问题解决者，这有助于你理解人们的真正意思，而不仅仅是他们说的话。空处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面整个句子，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导，故填which。 62．考查介词。句意：所以下次你交谈时，注意的不仅仅是话语。pay attention to是固定短语，意为“注意”，故填to。 63．考查形容词。句意：听语调，看肢体语言和面部表情，相信你的直觉。空处修饰名词expressions，应用形容词facial作定语，facial expressions意为“面部表情”，故填facial。 64．考查副词。句意：每个人传递信息的方式都不同。空处修饰动词conveys，应用副词differently作状语，故填differently。 65．考查反身代词。句意：利用这些知识更好地理解他人，更清晰地表达自己。根据语境可知，此处表示“表达你自己”，应用反身代词yourself，故填yourself。 五、书信写作 66．（本题15分）你校英语报正在征稿，主题为“生活中的微笑”，请你写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1. 介绍微笑的作用；2. 分享你的感受。 注意：写作词数应为100左右。 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】         As we all know, body language is widely used in our daily life. Perhaps the best example is smiling.     A smile is a magical means of narrowing the distance between people and a catalyst for harmonious interpersonal relationships. We can use a smile to start a conversation, which may help us find friends in a world of strangers. Besides, a smile is a silent greeting. It conveys the message of kindness and respect and creates a warm and harmonious atmosphere for in-depth communication and exchanges.     From my perspective, body language plays an important role in our daily life. Meanwhile, positive body language can brighten others’ life. If we are feeling down or feeling lonely, there is nothing better than seeing the smiling face of a friend. 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生围绕“生活中的微笑”主题，写一篇短文投稿，介绍微笑的作用并分享个人感受。 【详解】1.词汇积累 重要的：important→significant 帮助：help→ assist 交流：communication→ interaction 在……中起重要作用：play a … role in → play a … part in 2.句式拓展 同义句转换 原句：A smile is a magical means of narrowing the distance between people and a catalyst for harmonious interpersonal relationships. 拓展句：A smile is a magical means which narrows the distance between people and a catalyst for harmonious interpersonal relationships. 【点睛】【高分句型1】We can use a smile to start a conversation, which may help us find friends in a world of strangers.(运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句) 【高分句型2】If we are feeling down or feeling lonely, there is nothing better than seeing the smiling face of a friend.(运用了运用了if引导的条件状语从句) 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。 When I was in Grade One, most of my classmates didn’t like to play with me because I was always shy and silent. However, I always got high grades in both exams and activities. Gradually, I got the respect of my classmates. And my teachers repeatedly praised me and asked me to assist my classmates in their study. Besides, there were various competitions in my school and I was always chosen as the representative of our class. However, life is not always happy. There are times when we experience ups and downs. When I was in Grade Three, a student named Vannilyn came to our school, and she was placed in the class next to mine. Months passed and the result of the mid-term examination was released. I was still the No. 1 in my class and I heard that Vannilyn was the No. 1 in her class. However, I just ignored her and in my thought, I was still superior because I was a seasoned pupil. There were times when I didn’t want to open my books to read and study for our next day’s lesson. When I did my homework, I became careless and I didn’t even mind whether my handwriting looked beautiful or not. What’s worse, I gradually became addicted to computer games. And because of that, my teachers began to criticise me and what made me angry was that they always mentioned Vannilyn in front of me! I got annoyed every time my teachers compared me with Vannilyn. I was discouraged and no longer followed their instructions. At the end of the first term, the principal’s assistant announced the final examination result, and I still ranked No. 1. Therefore, I became prouder and told myself that I would still be the best student even if I didn’t study hard. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I was overconfident and didn’t pay much attention to my study. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Three days later, the result of the English Spelling competition was announced. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Paragraph 1: I was overconfident and didn’t pay much attention to my study. Believing that I would always be the best in studies, whether I studied hard or not, I continued to play computer games and did what I thought was fun and interesting. At the beginning of the second term, our school organised an English Spelling Competition, in which there were six participants, including Vannilyn and me. When looking at Vannilyn in the competition room, I suddenly felt not so confident of myself. Three minutes later, the competition started. Paragraph 2: Three days later, the result of the English Spelling competition was announced. I was shocked to know that I only took the third place, with Vannilyn being the first. I sat on my chair, tears rolling down my face. After calming down, I began to reflect on what I had been doing those days. How I regretted the days that had been wasted playing games but should have been spent on my studies. I know better the saying “Pride goes before a fall” through my own experience. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了我学习很好，在班级很受人欢迎。但三年级时，隔壁班新来的同学Vannilyn的学习成绩和我不相上下，这让我很苦恼。于是，学习状态受到影响，我开始沉迷电脑游戏，因而受到老师批评，老师还总将我和Vannilyn进行比较。但是我期末考试成绩还是第一名，因此我骄傲地认为自己不努力学习也可以取得好成绩。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我过于自信，不太注重学习”可知，第一段可描写作者过于自信以及不注重学习的表现。 ②由第二段首句内容“三天后，英语拼写比赛的成绩宣布了”可知，第二段可描写作者知道拼写比赛成绩不好之后的表现，以及感悟。 2.续写线索：过于自信——放松学习——参加比赛——公布结果——成绩不好——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类： 学习好：be the best in studies/get best grades in class 组织比赛：organize a competition/hold a competition 流眼泪：tears running down my face/my eyes watering 情绪类： 震惊：be shocked/be surprised/be amazed 冷静：calm down/pull oneself together 【点睛】【高分句型1】Believing that I would always be the best in studies, whether I studied hard or not, I continued to play computer games and did what I thought was fun and interesting.（运用了非谓语动词做状语，whether引导的让步状语从句，以及that和what引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】I was shocked to know that I only took the third place, with Vannilyn being the first.（运用了that引导的宾语从句和with的复合结构） 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 $
