A.It faced tough competition. B.It suffered a great loss. C.It got lots of financial support. D.It went surprisingly well. 2.What is one of Knuth’s findings about plants? A.They appeal more to students. B.They purify the environment. C.They raise the cortisol level. D.They enhance productivity. 3.What does Detrinidad try to explain by mentioning doctors and lawyers? A.The necessity of social skills. B.The meaning of sustainability. C.The importance of repeated efforts. D.The value of professional opinions. 4.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Time to Replace Houseplants B.Plants Boost Your Mood C.Tips on Choosing Houseplants D.Plants Brighten Your Home B “Tie an Italian’s hands behind his back,” runs an old joke,“and he’ll be speechless.” This rests on a national stereotype:Italians are talkative and emotional,and all that arm-waggling supposedly goes to prove it. Susan Meadow of the University of Chicago has a rather different view.Emotions come out in lots of ways:facial expressions,posture,tone of voice and so on.But people are doing something different when they use gestures with speech,which she sums up in the title of her new book,Thinking with Your Hands.It is a masterly tour through a lifetime’s research. Virtually everyone gestures,not just Italians.Experimental subjects,told after a research session that they were being watched for gestures,apologize for not having made any—but were doing so the entire time.People born blind gesture when they speak,including to each other.A woman born without arms but with “phantom limb syndrome(幻肢综合征)” describes how she uses her phantom arms when she talks—but not when she walks.All this suggests that cognition(认知) is,to some extent, “embodied”;thinking is not all done in your head. In fact,gestures that accompany speech are a second channel of information.Subjects watch a film in which a cat runs but are told to lie and say it jumped.They do so in words—while their hands make a running motion.People who say they believe in sexual equality but gesture with their hands lower when talking about women are not indicating women’s height;they can be shown to have biases(偏见) of which they may be unaware. In The Crown,a historical drama series,Lady Diana is warned that her hands may betray her real emotions,which could be dangerous;they are tied together so she can learn to speak without gesticulating(做手势).No one who reads Susan’s book could ever again think that gesturing shows only a lack of control.It is about thinking and communication,and is a complex aid to both. 1.Why does the author mention the old joke in paragraph 1? A.To present an argument. B.To describe a scene. C.To lead in the topic. D.To clarify a doubt. 2.Which statement will Susan Meadow probably agree with? A.The disabled seldom use gestures. B.Gestures literally embody cognition. C.Thinking only occurs in the brain. D.Gestures are improper in communication. 3.What does the author try to prove in the last two paragraphs? A.Gestures may express what the speaker really thinks. B.People are unaware of the meanings of their gestures. C.Gesturing during speech shows only a lack of control. D.Speakers can lie more easily with the help of gestures. 4.Which of the following is the best summary of the text? A.Speech is a direct channel of information. B.Gestures make a vital form of communication. C.Italian’s body language represents a national stereotype. D.Thinking with Your Hands is a lifetime’s research for Susan Meadow. C(2026广东高二期中) Body language is an essential part of communication and can be just as important as our verbal exchanges.Body language can be conscious(有意识的) or unconscious actions,so it is important to make sure your body is sending the same messages as your words to ensure good communication.These nonverbal tips can strengthen the verbal messages you’re sending,or lead to mistrust or confusion—signs of poor communication and misunderstanding. Body language can make interacting with others and expressing yourself much easier,but it can also introduce new challenges.Some nonverbal signs unintentionally communicate parts of ourselves that we don’t want others to know.For example,bad posture or fidgeting(坐立不安) may communicate lack of confidence,something we may not intend for others to know about us.But body language can strengthen our verbal messages and solidify what we are telling others.Facing someone with eye contact or taking notes while someone is speaking can communicate real interest.Without these signs,teachers may not be able to assess a student’s understanding. When you’re speaking sincerely,it’s natural for your body language to respond to your words through gestures or facial expressions.We also use gestures in conversations to tell stories or describe objects,often using hand signals to show how big or small something is.These are largely unconscious,naturally occurring forms of body language. It can be difficult to communicate confidence in your actions when you may not feel it internally(内心上).When you display confident body language,such as good posture or eye contact,even if you’re making a conscious effort,studies have shown that it can lead to feeling more confident.When speaking to others,practice planting your feet confidently to increase self-esteem(自尊心). 5.Why is it important to ensure your body language matches your words? A.It helps avoid misunderstandings. B.It prevents unconscious gestures. C.It allows people to speak more quickly. D.It makes communication more humorous. 6.What might be implied if a student avoids eye contact in class? A.The student is taking notes carefully. B.The student may lack confidence or focus. C.The student is deeply interested in the topic. D.The student is using body language on purpose. 7.What does the word “solidify” in paragraph 2 most likely mean? A.Weaken.　　　B.Confuse. C.Strengthen. D.Simplify. 8.What is the main purpose of the last paragraph? A.To explain the character of body language. B.To discuss the challenges of body language. C.To offer advice on using body language to improve self-feelings. D.To share different ways to communicate and display confidence. 四：七选五(2026贵州黔东南高二上期末) Public speaking is not only about what you say,but how you say it—particularly through body language,which plays a key role in communication.　1　 Here are some essential body language techniques and how you can use them to enhance your public speaking.  Maintain Eye Contact Making direct eye contact is essential in any conversation.It creates a genuine connection and builds trust with your audience.　2　 Practice maintaining eye contact with individuals during your speaking practice sessions to become more comfortable and natural in front of audience.  　3　  Good posture conveys confidence and authority as a speaker.Stand or sit up straight with your shoulders back to project a sense of strength and assurance.Avoid crossing your arms,as this can make you appear defensive.Instead,keep your arms relaxed at your sides or use them to emphasize points during your speech,which helps to reinforce your message. Use Gestures Wisely Gestures can significantly enhance your speech by illustrating key points and making it more dynamic.　4　 Overusing gestures can distract your audience from your message.Practice using gestures that feel natural and match with the content of your speech to maintain a strong,focused connection with your audience.  Control Your Tone of Voice Body language isn’t just physical;it also includes the tone of your voice.Practice varying your pitch,pace,and volume to keep your audience engaged.A flat voice can make even the most interesting topic sound dull.　5　  A.Raise your head up B.Stand Tall and Relax C.Avoid speaking too quickly,as it may confuse the audience.
