Unit 4 Body Language 单元测试
一、阅读理解
When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at "bed and breakfast" houses, because this kind of accommodation gives foreign visitors a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.
"We didn't stay at ' bed and breakfast ' houses" they said, "because we found that most families were away on holiday."
I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought "VACANCIES" meant "holidays", because the Spanish word for "holidays" is "vacaciones". So they did not go to houses where the sign outside said "VACANCIES", which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to houses where the sign said "NO VACANCIES ", because they thought this meant the people who owned the houses were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!
We laughed at this and about the mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word "DIVERSION" means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word "DIVERSION" on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.
English people also have problems when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said "Thank you" in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise, the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that "Thank you" in French means "No, thank you." .
1. Why did the author suggest his friends staying at "bed and breakfast" houses
A.It would be much cheaper than staying in hotels.
B.It would be convenient for them to have dinner together.
C.They would be able to practise their English.
D.There would be no problem about finding accommodation there.
2.If you see a road sign that says "DIVERSION" in London, you will ___.
A.fall into a large hole
B.find the road blocked by people
C.have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself
D.have to take a different road
3.What did the author really mean when the coffee pot was taken away
A.He would finish drinking his coffee.
B.He was expecting another cup of coffee.
C.He meant that he didn't want any more.
D.He has already had enough coffee.
Body language is the quietest, most secret and most powerful language of all. It is said that our body movements communicate about 50% of what we really mean while words themselves only do 7%. So while your mouth is closed, just it is your body language that is saying.
When it comes to body language at the office, you may be making some big mistakes that could cause you trouble. The following are some tips on what you should not do when using body language at your office.
Don't touch your co-workers, even if it's on the back of the arm or shoulder. Many of your co-workers are not comfortable with any body contact (接触) with others. Be careful not to touch anyone at your office.
Don't avoid eye contact. Eyes can speak. Lack of eye contact means cheat, and it can also point to no safety or lack of confidence. Trust and confidence are things you will communicate to the other person if you hold eye contact 50% of the time.
Don't have a bad handshake. You're going to show your kindness at once with a firm palm (手掌) to palm handshake. Showing the palms of your hands is an amiable gesture as it shows that you have a peaceful purpose. It means acceptance, and that you've open to new ideas. Be careful of the dead fish handshake.
Don't lean (倾斜) your head while listening to others. When listening to others, you should listen to him or her carefully with your head straight. For women especially, you think you are expressing interest by leaning your head when you are listening to others, but you actually come across as if you don't understand what's going on.
1.What can we learn from the first paragraph
A.The importance of body language. B.The development of body language.
C.The best way to communicate with others. D.How to avoid making mistakes at the office.
2.What can the underlined word "amiable" in Paragraph 5 be replaced with
A.Common. B.Polite. C.Friendly. D.Strange.
3.What can it be known from the passage
A.The stronger you shake hands with others the better.
B.Leaning your head when listening expresses interest.
C.Leaning back and forward shows you are thoughtful.
D.Eye contact is very important in communication.
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A.Pay Attention to Your Body Language at the Office
B.How to Get Along With Your Co-workers
C.The Meaning of Body Language You Should Know
D.Different Countries Have Different Body Language
The British are known for their sense of humour. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say. "It's a little damp (潮湿的) outside." Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, "She isn't exactly friendly." Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour.
Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What's more, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedy series Mr Bean is a good example of this kind of humour. Mr Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990.
Mr Bean doesn't talk often, and instead he uses his body movements and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour.
1.Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes
A.The British often enlarge the fad.
B.British jokes are connected with many different cultures.
C.The British try to make out that something is less important than it is.
D.British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries.
2.How does the author explain understatement
A.By using examples. B.By making comparisons.
C.By following time order. D.By describing a process.
3.How does Mr Bean make people laugh
A.By telling funny stories.
B.By making jokes about others' accents.
C.By copying how others behave.
D.By using his body movements and facial expressions.
4.What can be the best title for the text
A.British Humour in Comedy B.Humour in Different Cultures
C.Developing Your Sense of Humour D.Understanding British Humour
Simple hand gestures can make you look more confident and in control. Practice them, and use them whenever you want to impress a person or an audience!
The hand steeple, where the fingers are making a little "roof top", is showing a lot of confidence. This hand gesture is very popular with lawyers, politicians and priests (it does resemble praying, don't you think ) and while it shows great confidence, you should not use it when you're trying to gain someone's trust… the hand steeple can make you look arrogant (傲慢的). It does show strength when negotiating.
The reverse hand steeple is similar to the hand steeple, but this gesture is used more often during listening, while the hand steeple is used more often during talking. And since women are better listeners than men, the reverse hand steeple is used more often by women.
People in leadership positions often hold their hands behind their back. It's a pose that shows power, and confidence, as it exposes the vulnerable (脆弱的;易受伤害的) parts of the body. It also improves your posture and opens up the airways, so you gain more energy and feel more confident as you do this.
Some people don't hold their hands but have one hand hold the wrist or the arm. This is a sign of frustration. The higher up the hand is, the more frustrated. It's a way to "get a grip" on yourself.
Another show of confidence and feeling superior is by showing the thumbs. Any position where the thumbs are visible will do the trick(奏效;起作用). Holding your jacket with your thumbs up, or having them stuck out of your back pockets is the similar hand gesture that will do the trick.
1.When will you most probably use the hand steeple
A.When you are praying.
B.When you are listening to a speech.
C.When you are asking for advice.
D.When you are talking with a potential business partner.
2.Who mostly use the reverse hand steeple
A.Lawyers. B.Politicians. C.Children. D.Women.
3.What does the following picture probably show
A.Pride. B.Anger. C.Confidence. D.Surprise.
4.Which of the following shows that one is frustrated
A. B.
C. D.

"I'm going to miss you so much, Poppy," said the tall, thin teenager. He bent down to hug his old friend goodbye. He stood up, hugged his parents, and smiled, trying not to let his emotions (情绪) get the better of him.
His parents were not quite able to keep theirs under control. They had driven their son several hours out of town to the university where he would soon be living and studying. It was time to say goodbye for now at least. The family hugged and smiled through misty eyes and then laughed.
The boy lifted the last bag onto his shoulder, and flashed a bright smile. "I guess this is it," he said. "I'll see you back home in a month, okay " His parents nodded, and they watched as he walked out of sight into the crowds of hundreds of students and parents. The boy's mother turned to the dog, "Okay, Poppy, time to go back home."
The house seemed quiet as a tomb without the boy living there. All that week, Poppy didn't seem interested in her dinner, her favorite toy, or even in her daily walk. Her owners were sad too, but they knew their son would be back to visit. Poppy didn't.
They offered the dog some of her favorite peanut butter treats. They even let her sit on the sofa, but the old girl just wasn't her usual cheerful self. Her owners started to get worried. "What should we do to cheer Poppy up " asked Dad. "We've tried everything."
"I have an idea, but it might be a little crazy," smiled Mom. Without anybody left in the house but us, this place could use a bit of fun. Let's get a little dog for Poppy."
It didn't take long before they walked through the front door carrying a big box. Poppy welcomed them home as usual, but when she saw the box, she stopped. She put her nose on it. Her tail began wagging(摆动) ever so slowly, then faster as she caught the smell.
Paragraph 1:
Dad opened the box and a sweet little dog appeared.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

语法答案：In; their; findings; where; explanation; to read; trained; has changed; exactly; a
解析：本文是一篇说明文,介绍了什么是微表情、微表情的运用及其识别困难的现状。
①考查介词。in general"总的来说",是固定搭配,故用介词in。
②考查代词。此处指人们经常无意识地将他们的个人想法传达给其他人,故用形容词性物主代词their。
③考查名词复数。finding在此意为"调查发现",为可数名词,常用复数,由空前的All和谓语动词lead可知此处应用复数形式。
④考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句。先行词为fields,关系词在定语从句中作地点状语,故空处需用关系副词where。
⑤考查词形转换。根据空前的a more detailed可知空处应用名词形式,表示"更详细的解释"。
⑥考查固定句式。"sth.+ be + adj.+to do"是固定句式,表示"做……是……的",常用于此句式的形容词有easy, difficult等,故空处填to read。
⑦考查非谓语动词。此处表示"接受过训练的人",train和people是逻辑上的动宾关系,需用动词-ed形式trained作定语。
⑧考查时态和主谓一致。结合语境可知,此处表示一些人确实注意到脸上已经有了变化,但是他们不能确切地说出是什么变化,故空处需用现在完成时。分析句子结构可知,空处在定语从句中作谓语,先行词为something,空前的that指代先行词在从句中作主语,故空处应填has changed。
⑨考查词形转换。此处应用副词作状语,故填exactly。
⑩考查冠词。method表示"方法,措施"时为可数名词,此处表示泛指,possible的发音以辅音音素开头,故用不定冠词a。

Paragraph 1:
Dad opened the box and a sweet little dog appeared. A shiny little wet nose popped up. Then two fluffy paws. Next the box tipped over sideways, and out tumbled a mass of wiggly golden silliness. Poppy was amazed. She wagged furiously. She barked with joy. She smiled, her tongue lolling out as she investigated the surprise. The little pup was not shy and immediately starting yipping and jumping around the older dog. "That didn't take long, "remarked Mom, as both dogs went roaring around the house in an impromptu game of chase. Dad laughed.
Paragraph 2:
A few weeks later, the boy arrived home from university. He had missed Poppy and was looking forward to seeing her. When he bent down to give her a big hug, he fell over in surprise as a small golden cloud came racing up to lick his face too. "Oh my gosh, who is this " The boy exclaimed. His parents laughed at the look of shock on his face. "That's Pee-wee, said Dad." I can't believe you got yourselves a puppy! ""We didn't," replied Mom." This puppy is for Poppy!"
一、阅读理解
When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation (住所). I suggested that they should stay at "bed and breakfast" houses, because this kind of accommodation gives foreign visitors a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.
"We didn't stay at ' bed and breakfast ' houses" they said, "because we found that most families were away on holiday."
I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought "VACANCIES" meant "holidays", because the Spanish word for "holidays" is "vacaciones". So they did not go to houses where the sign outside said "VACANCIES", which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to houses where the sign said "NO VACANCIES ", because they thought this meant the people who owned the houses were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!
We laughed at this and about the mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word "DIVERSION" means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word "DIVERSION" on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.
English people also have problems when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris, when someone offered me some more coffee, I said "Thank you" in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise, the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that "Thank you" in French means "No, thank you." .
1. Why did the author suggest his friends staying at "bed and breakfast" houses
A.It would be much cheaper than staying in hotels.
B.It would be convenient for them to have dinner together.
C.They would be able to practise their English.
D.There would be no problem about finding accommodation there.
2.If you see a road sign that says "DIVERSION" in London, you will ___.
A.fall into a large hole
B.find the road blocked by people
C.have a lot of fun and enjoy yourself
D.have to take a different road
3.What did the author really mean when the coffee pot was taken away
A.He would finish drinking his coffee.
B.He was expecting another cup of coffee.
C.He meant that he didn't want any more.
D.He has already had enough coffee.
Body language is the quietest, most secret and most powerful language of all. It is said that our body movements communicate about 50% of what we really mean while words themselves only do 7%. So while your mouth is closed, just it is your body language that is saying.
When it comes to body language at the office, you may be making some big mistakes that could cause you trouble. The following are some tips on what you should not do when using body language at your office.
Don't touch your co-workers, even if it's on the back of the arm or shoulder. Many of your co-workers are not comfortable with any body contact (接触) with others. Be careful not to touch anyone at your office.
Don't avoid eye contact. Eyes can speak. Lack of eye contact means cheat, and it can also point to no safety or lack of confidence. Trust and confidence are things you will communicate to the other person if you hold eye contact 50% of the time.
Don't have a bad handshake. You're going to show your kindness at once with a firm palm (手掌) to palm handshake. Showing the palms of your hands is an amiable gesture as it shows that you have a peaceful purpose. It means acceptance, and that you've open to new ideas. Be careful of the dead fish handshake.
Don't lean (倾斜) your head while listening to others. When listening to others, you should listen to him or her carefully with your head straight. For women especially, you think you are expressing interest by leaning your head when you are listening to others, but you actually come across as if you don't understand what's going on.

The British are known for their sense of humour. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say. "It's a little damp (潮湿的) outside." Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, "She isn't exactly friendly." Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour.
Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What's more, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedy series Mr Bean is a good example of this kind of humour. Mr Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990.
Mr Bean doesn't talk often, and instead he uses his body movements and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour.
1.Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes
A.The British often enlarge the fad.
B.British jokes are connected with many different cultures.
C.The British try to make out that something is less important than it is.
D.British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries.
2.How does the author explain understatement
A.By using examples. B.By making comparisons.
C.By following time order. D.By describing a process.
3.How does Mr Bean make people laugh
A.By telling funny stories.
B.By making jokes about others' accents.
C.By copying how others behave.
D.By using his body movements and facial expressions.
4.What can be the best title for the text
A.British Humour in Comedy B.Humour in Different Cultures
C.Developing Your Sense of Humour D.Understanding British Humour
Simple hand gestures can make you look more confident and in control. Practice them, and use them whenever you want to impress a person or an audience!
The hand steeple, where the fingers are making a little "roof top", is showing a lot of confidence. This hand gesture is very popular with lawyers, politicians and priests (it does resemble praying, don't you think ) and while it shows great confidence, you should not use it when you're trying to gain someone's trust… the hand steeple can make you look arrogant (傲慢的). It does show strength when negotiating.
The reverse hand steeple is similar to the hand steeple, but this gesture is used more often during listening, while the hand steeple is used more often during talking. And since women are better listeners than men, the reverse hand steeple is used more often by women.
People in leadership positions often hold their hands behind their back. It's a pose that shows power, and confidence, as it exposes the vulnerable (脆弱的;易受伤害的) parts of the body. It also improves your posture and opens up the airways, so you gain more energy and feel more confident as you do this.
Some people don't hold their hands but have one hand hold the wrist or the arm. This is a sign of frustration. The higher up the hand is, the more frustrated. It's a way to "get a grip" on yourself.
Another show of confidence and feeling superior is by showing the thumbs. Any position where the thumbs are visible will do the trick(奏效;起作用). Holding your jacket with your thumbs up, or having them stuck out of your back pockets is the similar hand gesture that will do the trick.
1.When will you most probably use the hand steeple
A.When you are praying.
B.When you are listening to a speech.
C.When you are asking for advice.
D.When you are talking with a potential business partner.
2.Who mostly use the reverse hand steeple
A.Lawyers. B.Politicians. C.Children. D.Women.
3.What does the following picture probably show
A.Pride. B.Anger. C.Confidence. D.Surprise.
4.Which of the following shows that one is frustrated
A. B.
C. D.

"I'm going to miss you so much, Poppy," said the tall, thin teenager. He bent down to hug his old friend goodbye. He stood up, hugged his parents, and smiled, trying not to let his emotions (情绪) get the better of him.
His parents were not quite able to keep theirs under control. They had driven their son several hours out of town to the university where he would soon be living and studying. It was time to say goodbye for now at least. The family hugged and smiled through misty eyes and then laughed.
The boy lifted the last bag onto his shoulder, and flashed a bright smile. "I guess this is it," he said. "I'll see you back home in a month, okay " His parents nodded, and they watched as he walked out of sight into the crowds of hundreds of students and parents. The boy's mother turned to the dog, "Okay, Poppy, time to go back home."
The house seemed quiet as a tomb without the boy living there. All that week, Poppy didn't seem interested in her dinner, her favorite toy, or even in her daily walk. Her owners were sad too, but they knew their son would be back to visit. Poppy didn't.
They offered the dog some of her favorite peanut butter treats. They even let her sit on the sofa, but the old girl just wasn't her usual cheerful self. Her owners started to get worried. "What should we do to cheer Poppy up " asked Dad. "We've tried everything."
"I have an idea, but it might be a little crazy," smiled Mom. Without anybody left in the house but us, this place could use a bit of fun. Let's get a little dog for Poppy."
It didn't take long before they walked through the front door carrying a big box. Poppy welcomed them home as usual, but when she saw the box, she stopped. She put her nose on it. Her tail began wagging(摆动) ever so slowly, then faster as she caught the smell.

语法答案：In; their; findings; where; explanation; to read; trained; has changed; exactly; a
解析：本文是一篇说明文,介绍了什么是微表情、微表情的运用及其识别困难的现状。
①考查介词。in general"总的来说",是固定搭配,故用介词in。
②考查代词。此处指人们经常无意识地将他们的个人想法传达给其他人,故用形容词性物主代词their。
③考查名词复数。finding在此意为"调查发现",为可数名词,常用复数,由空前的All和谓语动词lead可知此处应用复数形式。
④考查定语从句。分析句子结构可知,空处引导非限制性定语从句。先行词为fields,关系词在定语从句中作地点状语,故空处需用关系副词where。
⑤考查词形转换。根据空前的a more detailed可知空处应用名词形式,表示"更详细的解释"。

⑧考查时态和主谓一致。结合语境可知,此处表示一些人确实注意到脸上已经有了变化,但是他们不能确切地说出是什么变化,故空处需用现在完成时。分析句子结构可知,空处在定语从句中作谓语,先行词为something,空前的that指代先行词在从句中作主语,故空处应填has changed。
⑨考查词形转换。此处应用副词作状语,故填exactly。
⑩考查冠词。method表示"方法,措施"时为可数名词,此处表示泛指,possible的发音以辅音音素开头,故用不定冠词a。

One possible version:
Paragraph 1:
Dad opened the box and a sweet little dog appeared. A shiny little wet nose popped up. Then two fluffy paws. Next the box tipped over sideways, and out tumbled a mass of wiggly golden silliness. Poppy was amazed. She wagged furiously. She barked with joy. She smiled, her tongue lolling out as she investigated the surprise. The little pup was not shy and immediately starting yipping and jumping around the older dog. "That didn't take long, "remarked Mom, as both dogs went roaring around the house in an impromptu game of chase. Dad laughed.
Paragraph 2:
A few weeks later, the boy arrived home from university. He had missed Poppy and was looking forward to seeing her. When he bent down to give her a big hug, he fell over in surprise as a small golden cloud came racing up to lick his face too. "Oh my gosh, who is this " The boy exclaimed. His parents laughed at the look of shock on his face. "That's Pee-wee, said Dad." I can't believe you got yourselves a puppy! ""We didn't," replied Mom." This puppy is for Poppy!"
