  “When studying foreign languages, don’t forget about body language,” Anne Merritt said.
  Something as simple as a gesture can show friendliness in one culture, embarrassment in another, impatience in the third. Even silence means different things in different places. If you want to avoid making some mistakes when travelling abroad, you should pay attention to the following.
  Touch
  Britain, along with many countries in northern Europe and the Far East, has a noncontact(不接触的) culture. In those countries, there is very little physical contact in people’s daily talks. Even touching someone’s arm by accident is the reason for an apology. However, in the high-contact cultures of the Middle East, Latin America, and southern Europe, the physical touch is a big part of daily life.
  What’s more, there are different standards for the touch. In much of the Arab world, men hold hands and kiss each other in greeting, but would never do the same with a woman. In Thailand and Laos, it is a taboo(禁忌) to touch anyone’s head, even children’s. In South Korea, elders can touch younger people with force when trying to get through a crowd, but younger people can’t do the same.
  Eye contact
  In most Western countries, frequent eye contact is a sign of confidence and attentiveness(专注). We may think that a conversation partner who looks away is either not listening to us or lying. Of course, this is not the standard around the world.
  In many Asian, African, and Latin American countries, the unbroken eye contact would be considered impolite and rude. These cultures consider avoiding eye contact a sign of respect for bosses and elders. In these parts of the world, children won’t look at an adult who is speaking to them, and nor will employees look at their bosses.
1. Which of the following about the British people is TRUE when they are talking
A. They avoid eye contact.
B. They often touch the others’ arms.
C. They avoid physical contact.
D. They favour a close physical touch.
解析: 细节理解题。根据Touch部分第一段中“Britain, along with many countries ... In those countries, there is very little physical contact in people’s daily talks.”可知,在英国,人们交谈时通常避免身体接触。
答案: C
2. How do people in southern Europe like the physical touch
                   
A. Unnecessary.    B. Impolite.
C. Dangerous.     D. Common.
解析:细节理解题。根据Touch部分第一段中“However, in the high-contact cultures ...and southern Europe, the physical touch is a big part of daily life.”可知,在欧洲南部,身体接触很常见。
答案: D
3. What should we avoid doing in Thailand
A. Touching a kid’s head.
B. Touching someone’s arm.
C. Shaking hands with children.
D. Patting old people on the back.
解析: 细节理解题。根据Touch部分第二段中“In Thailand and Laos, it is a taboo to touch anyone’s head, even children’s.”可知,在泰国,我们要避免触摸任何人的头,即使是孩子的头也不行。
答案: A
4. What does this text mainly tell us
A. How to have a good time abroad.
B. The importance of body language.
C. How to communicate with foreigners.
D. An introduction to some body language.

答案: D
B
  There is one language that is used in every country in the world. The people who use it are young and old, short and tall, thin and fat. It is everybody’s second language. It is easy to understand, although you can’t hear it. It is sign language.
  When you wave to a friend who is across the street, you are using sign language. When you nod to someone, you are saying, “I want to be friendly.” But you are not using speech; you are using sign language. When you raise your hand in class, you are saying, “Please ask me. I think I know the correct answer.”
  Babies who can’t talk can point at things. They are using sign language. A policeman who wants to stop traffic holds up his hand. He is using sign language.
  Many years ago, a French priest, Charles Michel de L’Epee, became interested in education for deaf people. He invented a finger alphabet, which is still in use today. People can make signs for letters and spell words with their hands, and deaf people can read and understand them. Soon there were schools for the deaf in many countries. There are many universities for the deaf in the US now.
  The actors in the Theatre of Deaf don’t spell every word. Sometimes they use hand signs. When they put two hands together, it means sandwiches. They can make a roof with their hands when they want to show a house. One finger in front of an actor’s mouth can mean “be quiet”. You can talk to people who are behind windows that are closed. And when you go swimming with your friends, you can have conversations underwater.
5. What can we learn about sign language from paragraph 1
A. It is a language used in a few countries.
B. It is a way to express ideas without words.
C. It is only used by the deaf.
D. It can be easily heard.
解析: 推理判断题。根据第一段中“It is easy to understand, although you can’t hear it. It is sign language.”可推知,手语是不借助语言表达想法的一种方式。
答案: B
6. What will you do if you want to express “I am very friendly.”
A. Raise your hand.  
B. Put one hand onto the other.
C. Nod to the person.
D. Make a roof with your hands.

答案: C
7. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Hand signs are more important than finger signs.
B. There is only one university for the deaf in the US. 
C. Charles Michel de L’Epee invented sign language.
D. Babies can communicate by using sign language.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Babies who can’t talk can point at things. They are using sign language.”可知答案。
答案: D
8. What is the passage mainly about
A. An introduction to sign language.
B. The importance of sign language.
C. A famous priest in France.
D. How to use sign language.

Four Body Language Tips for Success
  Have you ever been drawn to someone who looks confident and successful at work There’s something about them that you can’t easily find. 9.     Here are four specific techniques to set up for ongoing success, especially in the workplace.
   10.     You’ve heard how dogs pick up on sounds that the human ear can’t hear. Well, it turns out that we pick up on certain tone too, human to human. Simply speaking, lower, richer tones are more pleasing to us than higher, thinner ones.
   Take on a powerful pose. Research by social psychologist Amy Cuddy shows that standing or sitting in a certain way causes immediate changes in your body chemistry. 11.     Besides, it can influence how others respond to you.
   Make eye contact, but not too much. There is such a thing as too much eye contact. You don’t want to be rude, but you also want to look like you care. Always be sure to use more eye contact when you are listening than when you are speaking.
   Use your hands to improve speech. If you want to get your point across more effectively, try using some hand gestures while you speak. 12._______Speech-associated gestures have been thought to help listeners stay focused and attentive.
  Now you can be the person appearing more successful in and out of the boardroom. Remember—it’s not always what you say verbally that activates your listeners. 13.   
A. Lower tones matter.
B. Mind your tone of voice.
C. This can make you appear more confident.
D. It is time for your body to do some of the talking.
E. Using hand gestures is always a great way to appeal to your listeners.
F. Body language is an important factor in making a strong first impression.
G. Not only will they make yourself understood, they also keep the listeners engaged.

Section Ⅳ Reading for Writing
写一篇描写肢体语言的文章
下面是外籍教师Smith写的一篇文章,描述了课堂上学生们使用的肢体语言,以及作为教师应该如何正确理解它们表达的含义。仔细阅读,试着总结此类文章的结构并欣赏其语言特点。
Body language is important nonverbal communication. From the body language of the students in class I can easily recognise when students are interested in a lesson.
I know students are interested in my lesson if they lean forward and look at me. People have a tendency to lean towards whatever they are interested in. If a student has his head lowered to look at his watch, it implies he is bored. If two students are leaning their heads together, they are probably writing notes to each other. Some students look up, but there is an absence of eye contact. Their eyes barely move, and they always have the same distant expression on their faces. It seems they are asleep with their eyes open.
Knowing the students’ body language and reacting to it is really important for a teacher, isn’t it

There is nothing better than understanding the differences in body language if you expect to achieve further communication.
答案:
  Many differences exist between Chinese and American body language. Knowing the differences will help people of both countries communicate easily.
  First, there are more touching gestures in China than in America. Women or girls in China often walk hand in hand. However, people in America like keeping a certain distance from others, especially people of the same sex. Second, if an American puts out his/her tongue, it is a sign of rudeness, while in China it
is a sign of embarrassment. Third, people in China pat children on the head if they like them, while the Americans do so to offer
encouragement or comfort.

I really appreciate your writing me this email. I am interested in learning more about Chinese customs. I am also very glad to share our customs with you if you like.
Yours,
Linda
答案:
Dear Li Hua,
  Thank you for your recent email. There seems to be some misunderstanding between us, so please let me clarify it. You mentioned that I gave Mary a big hug yesterday morning when we met, and you felt quite surprised at that. As a matter of fact, in our country, it is quite common and natural for people to hug each other, because it shows friendship. I think it must be our different cultural backgrounds that have led you to question
what had happened. You know, the same body language may not mean the same thing in different cultures.

  What brings a nation together Of the four choices—shared values, language, history, and religion, it’s shared values. In our latest poll(民意调查), seven out of 16 countries chose values as the greatest factor bringing a nation together, and six preferred language. Both choices scored high in the poll, suggesting that our values and how we express them are closely linked. Still, history was not forgotten in some countries, particularly in Mexico and Russia. Even Canada and the United States chose national histories as the second-most important factor uniting their people. The biggest surprise Not one country picked religion as its top choice.
Respect your elders   In most countries, the oldest generation considered values more important to a nation than those who are under 45 years old did.
Do you speak Canadian   Language scored lower in Canada than in all other countries polled, perhaps because the country speaks two official languages, French and English.
Church and state   Most people polled do not connect their religious beliefs to their national pride. Religion ranked last in 13 countries—with France scoring it at 1%, the lowest of all.

  I became a magician by accident. When I was nine years old, I learned how to make a coin disappear. I’d read The Lord of the Rings and risked coming into the adult section of the library to search for a book of magic. Nine years old is a curious age when you’re old enough to work through over 1,200 pages of literature, but young enough to still hope that you might find a book of real, actual magic in the library. The book I found instead taught basic sleight of hand(戏法) techniques, and I devoted the next months to practise.
  Initially, the magic wasn’t any good. At first it wasn’t even magic; it was just a trick—a bad trick. I spent hours each day in the bathroom running through the secret moves in front of the mirror. I dropped the coin over and over, about a thousand times in a day, and after two weeks of this my mum got a carpet from the store and placed it under the mirror to eradicate the sound of the coin falling again and again.
  I had heard my dad work through passages of new music on the piano, so I knew how to practise—slowly, going for accuracy rather than speed. And then I tried the illusion(错觉) in the mirror and an unbelievable scene took place. It did not look like a magic trick. It looked like a miracle. I knew I had got what I wanted.
  One day I made the performance on the playground. We had been playing football and were standing by the backstop in the field behind the school. A dozen people were watching. I showed the coin to everyone. Then it disappeared. The kids screamed. They yelled, laughed and scrambled away. Everyone went crazy.
24. Why did the author enter the adult section of the library
A. To kill his time.
B. To find a book of magic.
C. To read The Lord of the Rings.
D. To learn knowledge of literature.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第一段中“... risked coming into the adult section of the library to search for a book of magic.”可知答案。
答案: B
25. What does the underlined word “eradicate” in paragraph 2 mean
A. Identify. B. Observe.
C. Remove. D. Recognise.
解析: 词义猜测题。作者在镜子前练习让硬币消失时,硬币一天会掉到地上大约1 000次,因此妈妈从商店买了地毯,放到镜子下面,就是要“消除”硬币落地的声音,故选C。
答案: C
26. What was the cause of the author’s success
A. His mother’s help.
B. His repeated hard practice.
C. The secret of quick moves.
D. The inspiration from his father.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第三段中“I had heard my dad work through passages of new music on the piano, so I knew how to practise—slowly, going for accuracy rather than speed. And then I tried the illusion in the mirror and an unbelievable scene took place.”可知,作者从爸爸练习钢琴的做法中获得了灵感,从而获得成功。
答案: D
27. How would the author feel about the result of his performance on the playground

B. It’s fantastic.
C. It’s awkward.

答案: B
C
Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion across cultures. For example, many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places. Some Russians believe that Americans smile in wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.
Our faces show emotions, but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressiveness permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.
It is difficult to generalise(概括) about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.
28. What does the smile usually mean in the US
A. Joy. B. Love.
C. Politeness. D. Thankfulness.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第一段中“For example, in American culture the smile is in general an expression of pleasure.”可知,在美国微笑通常意味着高兴。
答案: A
29. Why does the author mention the smile of the Vietnamese
A. To prove smiling can show personal habits.
B. To show smiling can be used in wrong places.
C. To demonstrate a smile can hide true feelings.
D. To demonstrate a smile can show friendliness to strangers.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.”可知,作者列举越南人的例子是用来证明微笑可以用来掩饰内心真实的感受。
答案: C
30. What should we do before attempting to “read” people
A. Figure out what they will do next.
B. Find out about their past experience.
C. Learn about their relations with others.
D. Understand their cultural backgrounds.
解析: 推理判断题。根据最后一段可知,在不同的文化中微笑的含义是不同的。由此推断出在试图“读懂”别人时,先要了解其文化背景。
答案: D
31. What would be the best title for the text
A. Cultural Differences
B. Habits and Emotions
C. Facial Expressions
D. Smiles and Relationships
解析: 标题归纳题。本文阐述了面部表情的种种表现形式,以及文化差异导致的面部表情的含义不同,故选C项。
答案: C
D
  I think that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention, and especially if it’s given from the heart. When people are talking, there’s no need to do anything but receive them. Just take them in. Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it.
When we interrupt(打断) what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care. Many people with cancer can talk about the relief of having someone just listen.
I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. I used to reach for the tissues(纸巾), until I realised that passing a person a piece of tissue may be just another way to shut them down, to take them out of their experience of sadness. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them.
This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too timid to speak or did not know the answer. A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the well-intentioned(出于好心的) words.
32. What does the author value most in the communication with each other
A. Doing nothing.
B. Deep understanding.
C. Saying “I’m very sorry”.
D. Attention from the heart.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention, and especially if it’s given from the heart.”可知,作者最重视交流中来自心灵深处的关注。
答案: D
33. What will happen if you interrupt someone who is saying
A. He might stop and listen to you.
B. He must be very angry with you.
C. He thinks you are too rude.
D. He thinks you don’t care about him.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第二段中“... we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care.”可知,如果你打断某人说话,其实是把注意力移向你自己,让说话人觉得你并不在意他。
答案: D
34. What was the author’s purpose by passing a piece of tissue to someone
A. To stop him from crying.
B. To advise him to have a rest.
C. To help him to accept the sadness.
D. To stop him from saying anything.
解析: 推理判断题。根据第三段中“... I realised that passing a person a piece of tissue may be just another way to shut them down ...”可推知,作者是想让对方停止哭泣。
答案: A
35. What can we learn from the passage
A. Keeping silent means being too shy to speak.
B. Forming the habit of listening silently is easy.
C. Listening is a perfect way to respond to others.
D. People keep silent because they don’t know the answer.
解析: 推理判断题。全文主要论述了倾听的重要性,倾听是回应别人最好的方式,故选C。
答案: C
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
  Much meaning can be expressed clearly with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.
  36.     In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not for too long. And if he senses that you are staring at him, he may feel uncomfortable.
The same is true in our daily life. If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. 37.     Eyes do speak, right
Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude. 38.     If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to look away from her, his intentions are obvious. He wishes to attract her attention, and let her know that he is admiring her.
However, when two persons are engaged in a conversation, the speaker will only look into the listener’s eyes from time to time to make sure that the listener does pay attention to his speaking. 39.     If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking as if he tries to control you, you will feel embarrassed. A poor liar usually exposes(暴露) himself by looking too long at the victim. He wrongly believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. 40.

After that, feeling the need to  49  further, I decided to drop in on one of ASL club’s meetings. I only learned how to  50  the alphabet that day. Yet instead of being discouraged by my slow progress, I was excited. I then made a point of  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 realised that the silence was not unpleasant. Instead, if there had been any talking, it would have  54  us to learn less. Now, I appreciate the silence and the  55  way of communication it opens.

  假设你是李华,你们校报英文栏目“Cultural Communication”向你约稿,请你写一篇介绍肢体语言的短文,写作要点如下:
(1)肢体语言在不同文化中各不相同;
(2)简要介绍几种肢体语言。
注意:
(1)写作词数应为80左右;
(2)可适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
答案:
  Not everyone is aware that our body language gives away much about ourselves. However, our communication involves body language, which varies from culture to culture. Therefore, we should know what is important when dealing with others. For example, when listening to others, make sure you nod slightly once in a while to show you are interested. Besides, it is rude to stare at others too long.
  If you know about basic body language, you will be less likely to offend others.

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。
  It was an Art lesson. Rachel sat at the desk watching her classmates busy preparing the water jars and paints. She understood why Mrs Weston asked her to sit down and got Lisa to fetch everything for her. It was always a disaster when Rachel tried to do Art!
  Rachel sighed(叹气) and reached out to dip her brush in some black paints and—oh, no! She knocked over the jar. The water spread across the desk and drowned the paper. Lisa called Mrs Weston to see what Rachel had done. Rachel went red in the face. She jumped to her feet to get a cloth. Her chair fell over backwards. She turned round and her paintbrush caught Lisa across the face, giving her a black moustache(胡子). Lisa was so surprised that she fell back against a bookstand. It came crashing down and the books went all over the floor.
How awkward she was! Rachel thought as she went home on the bus. The bus stopped outside her house. She jumped up and her elbow(肘部) knocked a woman’s hat right over her eyes. Oh, no! Rachel said sorry, got off and ran indoors. Mum wasn’t in the kitchen but lay in bed as she caught an awful cold. Rachel offered to make a cup of tea but Mum would rather wait for dad. Rachel sighed. She understood mum was afraid she would spill it.
“But would you go to Mrs Willow for some cold medicine ” asked mum. Rachel turned to the door at once. “But Rachel, Mrs Willow’s house is full of beautiful things, so if she asks you to come in, you’d better say no.” Rachel sighed and ran out.
  Mrs Willow was an old lady with white hair and sharp blue eyes living in an old house. She opened the door and invited her in. Rachel said why she came and that she preferred to wait outside remembering her mother’s warning. Mrs Willow insisted Rachel come inside. Rachel took a deep breath and stepped in. She looked round Mrs Willow’s sitting room and saw at once why mum had been worried.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式作答。

Paragraph 2:
  With a smile Mrs Willow comforted her saying it had been broken before.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
答案:
Paragraph 1:
  There were beautiful things everywhere—pretty china figures and expensive vases. Rachel stood very still, afraid of knocking something over. Mrs Willow handed Rachel a small brown bottle. Rachel couldn’t wait to get away, feeling any minute there would be a disaster. She thanked Mrs Willow and turned to the door when something brushed against her leg. Rachel was so surprised that she jumped backwards. It was a cat! But her elbow hit a vase and it fell to the floor, broken. How awkward!
Paragraph 2:
  With a smile Mrs Willow comforted her saying it had been broken before. Rachel sighed and stared at her. “Don’t worry. It’ll be perfect after being mended,” Mrs Willow said, her sharp blue eyes shining. “Nobody grows up without being awkward.” Rachel let out a long sigh and for the first time she felt so good about her clumsiness. She believed what Mrs Willow said must have the same magic as her special cold medicine. To her amazement, she returned home with the bottle of medicine safe and sound.

A
There are four main areas when it comes to your dog’s body language—his ears and face, eyes, nose and tail. If you pay attention to those things, you’ll find you are able to easily understand how your dog is feeling.
Ears and face
  The head of a dog is more expressive than you think. If you say a word that he recognises, like his name or something you often say, his ears will get up. His mouth is another good instruction. A mouth that is wide open to pant(喘气) with some sounds suggests that the dog is happy—some people even say when a dog is panting, he is laughing as he cools himself. A tongue sticking out suggests that the dog is in a good mood.
  Eyes
To a dog, purple and blue are both seen as shades of blue. Red is seen as black or dark gray. Orange, yellow and green are seen as various shades of yellow. This means that, to a dog, bright orange toys are yellow. If you want your dog to clearly see his toys in the green grass, you’d better give the dog blue toys; if you have orange, yellow or green toys, the dog will be able to find them with his nose.
  Nose
A dog can both sniff and breathe through his nose. Breathing is for air, but when dogs sniff with short breaths they are actually following some smells with their keen(灵敏的) noses. When a dog is overheated, his sense of smell is reduced by as much as 40 percent and he uses the air to cool himself rather than for smelling.
Tail
A dog that is in a good mood will have a tail that seems to be going a mile a minute—wagging and excited. However, an angry or frightened dog will have his tail between his legs.
1. What is the author’s purpose of writing the first paragraph
A. To advise you to look after your dog.
B. To introduce the topic of the passage.
C. To explain what is body language.
D. To call on people to protect dogs.
解析: 推理判断题。根据第一段中“There are four main areas when it comes to your dog’s body language—his ears and face, eyes, nose and tail.”以及下文各个小标题可知,第一段起到介绍本文话题的作用。
答案: B
2. What will your dog NOT do when he feels happy
A. His ears get up.
B. He opens his mouth to breathe with some sounds.
C. He keeps his tongue sticking out.
D. His tail wags quickly.
解析: 细节理解题。根据小标题Ears and face下面的“If you say a word that he recognises, like his name or something you often say, his ears will get up.”可知,耳朵竖起来是听到了他能听懂的词语时的表现,而不是高兴的表现。
答案: A
3. Why does your dog use his nose when looking for orange, yellow or green toys in the grass
A. Because he wants to show how keen his nose is.
B. Because his nose is keener than his eyes in the open air.
C. Because he can’t tell the difference between toys and grass.
D. Because these colours are all shades of yellow in his eyes.
解析: 细节理解题。根据小标题Eyes下面的“Orange, yellow and green are seen as various shades of yellow.”可知,这些颜色在狗看来都是不同色度的黄色,所以他要靠嗅觉去找,故选D项。
答案: D
B
  When you are in another country, it is important to know the language, but it is equally important to know how to communicate nonverbally. Before saying anything, people communicate nonverbally or by making gestures. According to an investigation, only 30 to 35 percent of our communication is verbal. When people don’t know the language, the most common way to communicate is through gestures. However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.
In the United States, for example, nodding your head up and down means “yes”. In some parts of Greece and Turkey, however, this motion can mean “no”. In Southeast Asia, it is a polite way of saying “I’ve heard you.”
  In ancient Rome, when the emperor wanted to spare(赦免) someone’s life, he would put his thumb up. Today in the United States, when someone puts his/her thumb up, it means “Everything is all right.” However, in Sardinia and Greece, the gesture is insulting(侮辱的) and should not be used there.
  In the United States, raising your clasped(握紧的) hand above your head means “I’m the champion.” or “I’m the winner.” It is the sign that prizefighters make when they win a fight. When a leading Russian statesman made this gesture after a White House meeting, Americans misunderstood and thought he meant he was a winner. In Russia, however, it is a sign of friendship.
  There are other nonverbal signals that you should be aware of when you go to another country, such as the distance to maintain between speakers. Americans stand closer to each other than English people. English people don’t like touching somebody or being touched. Now in America, touch is important. Friends touch each other on the arm, for example. They often put an arm around a friend when they say “Hello” or “Goodbye”.
4. What can we learn from the first paragraph
A. Knowing the language of a country isn’t important.
B. Much of our communication is nonverbal.
C. Gestures are less used in communication.
D. All gestures have different meanings.
解析: 推理判断题。根据第一段中“According to an investigation, only 30 to 35 percent of our communication is verbal.”可推知交流中很多是非语言的。
答案: B
5. What does it mean if a native in Singapore nods his head up and down
                
A. Yes.        B. No.
C. I’ve heard you.   D. That’s all right.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In Southeast Asia, it is a polite way of saying ‘I’ve heard you.’”可知答案。
答案: C
6. What did the Russian leader mean by putting up his clasped hand
A. He meant to insult America.
B. He meant to show friendship.
C. He meant Russia was the winner.
D. He meant the US was the winner.
解析: 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“When a leading Russian statesman made this gesture ... it is a sign of friendship.”可知答案。
答案: B
7. What should you do when you are talking to English people
A. Touch them on the arm.
B. Touch them on the shoulder.
C. Put an arm around them.
D. Keep a certain distance from them.
解析: 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Americans stand closer to each other than English people.”可知,当你和英国人谈话时需要保持一定距离。

  The way that people sit in chairs isn’t the same. If you’re sitting with arms and legs hanging freely, it’s probably a sign that you’re relaxed and feeling comfortable. If you stay on the edge of the chair with your legs stretched before you and your feet crossed, it can signal unconcern.
  In a country where rules of behaviour in court were very strict, a witness sat as described above, with his huge boots placed on top of each other, wearing a big coat and with his arms crossed. The judge said, “Sit up straight and take your coat off, or I’ll hold you in contempt(藐视法庭).” The man got his posture straightened up immediately.
  Someone waiting for a job interview might be seated on the edge of the chair with his or her feet together. If it’s a woman she’ll probably be hugging her handbag. Body tension forces your breathing system and makes you sound short of breath. When you’re in such a position it’s easy to lose your head and simply run away if things take a turn for the worse.
  On television it’s interesting to watch people on quiz shows like “Who wants to be a millionaire”. You can notice their understandable tension from the way they hold their hands till their knuckles (指关节) turn white and also from their quickened breathing.
  We don’t believe that you can teach people to control their body language completely; they’ll lose control at some point or other—when they become too eager or too angry. Take a discussion between politicians, for example. The control is there, even when they get angry but there will be a small muscle by the mouth that is shaking. Cheeks turn red in women who are angry while men’s ears often turn red when they are angry.
1. Why did the judge warn the witness in the first example
A. The judge was too strict.
B. The witness was against the law.
C. The judge was only nervous.

  Walking across the campus with every pair of eyes on you can be embarrassing, especially when you’re 13 years old. I looked around me in   1  of a friendly face, a smile or anything else.
