Ⅳ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了肢体语言的不同种类——手势、凝视和微笑,以及它们代表的不同含义。
1.B 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Hand-to-cheek gesture or hand-to-chin gesture from the person shows his disinterest and the salesman realizes that the customer is not interested in his presentation.”可知,顾客把手放在下巴上,这样的肢体语言表明顾客对销售人员的介绍不感兴趣。故选B项。
2.C 词义猜测题。根据画线词后一句“…secondly, he or she is hostile (怀有敌意的) towards you and may be issuing a non-verbal challenge, in which case the pupils will become smaller.”可知,当对方对你怀有敌意时,瞳孔就相应地缩小;反之,当对方对你感兴趣时,瞳孔就会变大。由此可知,画线单词dilated意为“扩大了的,扩张的”。故选C项。
3.A 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Learn the body language and succeed in winning over others!”可推知,作者对学习肢体语言的态度是积极的。故选A项。
4.B 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第一段中“To prevent the annoyance or boredom showing in your face, you may use gestures, gazes and smiles to pretend that you are listening! We call them a non-verbal way of communication or the ‘body language’!”可知,本文主要介绍了肢体语言的不同种类——手势、凝视和微笑,以及如何通过肢体语言判断对方的状态,故B项“通过肢体语言进行交流”为最佳标题。故选B项。
Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了通过有效的肢体语言增强演讲效果的几个技巧,包括掌握舞台空间、使用手势、邀请观众互动、运用幽默以及享受演讲过程,以使演讲更加生动有趣并更好地与观众建立联系。
1.A 由上文“Some people may go into a presentation like they’re going into battle. I was one of those people. But after years of public speaking experience, I’ve learned some body language tips.”和下文“When we’re nervous on stage, we often go into ‘deer in the headlights’ mode…Don’t forget there is space around you! Walk around, and use big gestures and power poses.”可知,上文中作者提到很多人在演讲时会感到紧张,他学到了一些肢体语言技巧。下文提到掌控舞台空间。因此,本空应该强调用掌控舞台空间克服紧张情绪,A选项“Take up space.”(占据空间。)能承上启下,符合题意。故选A项。
2.C 由上文“Use hand gestures. Here’s the deal: research shows that using hand gestures increases the value of your message by 60%!”和下文“In our human behaviour research lab, we analysed thousands of hours of TED talks and found one striking pattern: the most viral TED talkers spoke with their words and their hands.”可知,上文作者强调了使用手势的重要性,并指出研究显示手势能够增加信息的价值。下文提到人类行为研究实验室中观察到的现象。因此,本空应该强调用手势可以使信息的价值提高有科学依据,C选项“And we confirmed it using science.”(并且我们用科学证实了这一点。)能承上启下,符合题意。故选C项。
3.F 由上文“Raise your hand. Remember those times in class when the teachers asked us to raise our hands ”和下文“Whenever you ask a question to the audience, try to spin it in a way to get the audience to participate.”可知,上文作者回忆起了在学校里老师要求学生举手回答问题的场景。下文则是鼓励演讲者通过类似的方式与听众互动。因此,本空应该指出老师这样做的原因,即能提高听众参与度,F选项“They do it for a reason: It increases audience involvement!”(他们这样做是有原因的:它提高了听众参与度!)能承上启下,符合题意。故选F项。
4.D 由上文“Laugh it off. Humour is one of the best ways to turn a dull presentation into a lively one.”和下文“Laughing is actually more about building relationships than reacting to jokes.”可知,作者强调了幽默在演讲中的作用,因此,本空应该强调幽默的作用,D选项“It’s not only about feeling good, either.” (这也不仅仅是感觉好。)能承上启下,符合题意。故选D项。
5.G 由上文“Have fun! Remember, your goal as a presenter isn’t just to relay information. You’ve also got a second job as an entertainer. Remember to engage the audience and enjoy yourself on stage!”可知,本空应强调自己和观众的感受,G选项“Your audience will appreciate it, and you’ll feel much freer, too.” (你的观众会欣赏这一点,你也会感到更加自由。)能承接上文,符合题意。故选G项。
Ⅵ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了肢体语言在沟通交流中的重要性。
1.personal 考查形容词。修饰名词relationships,应用形容词personal作定语。故填personal。
2.to communicate 考查非谓语动词。名词ability后跟不定式作后置定语。故填to communicate。
3.but 考查固定用法。not…but…是固定用法,表示“不是……而是……”。故填but。
4.of 考查介词。be aware of是固定词组,表示“意识到”。故填of。
5.behaviours 考查名词复数。根据上文all of your non-verbal和下文send可知,behaviour应用复数形式。故填behaviours。
6.what 考查宾语从句。空处引导宾语从句,从句缺少宾语,应用what引导。故填what。
7.totally 考查副词。修饰形容词different,应用副词totally,故填totally。
8.mixed 考查形容词。修饰名词signals,应用形容词mixed作定语。故填mixed。
9.shows 考查时态和主谓一致。定语从句修饰先行词language,根据上文is可知为一般现在时,谓语的数与先行词保持一致,用三单形式。故填shows。
10.rewarding 考查形容词。修饰名词relationships,应用形容词rewarding作定语。故填rewarding。Unit 4 BODY LANGUAGE
[导读] 手势的诠释在不同的文化背景中差异很大,怎样在跨文化交际中避免误会和尴尬呢 下面的四种手势一定能对你有所帮助。
The “thumbs-up”
While the Western culture has become used to the thumbs-up as a positive signal,there are cultures where a thumbs-up may land you in trouble. In West Africa, as well as Greece, Italy and the Middle East,the thumbs-up is pretty much the biggest insult(侮辱).
The “OK”
This sign is mainly used by divers (潜水员) to mean “OK”.Basically the meaning comes out as “great”, or “completely fine”. However, in a few countries in Europe,people may think you’re telling them that you think they’re a “zero”.
The “V-sign”
The sign comes in two formats(形式): one with the palm (手掌) faced outwards,and one with the palm inwards. In America they mean the same thing—“victory”.However,if the outside of your hand is facing your target, you’re giving somebody an insult in many English-speaking countries.
High five
An action to celebrate victory or to express happiness in which two people raise one arm each and hit their open hands together.

虽然西方文化已经习惯把竖起大拇指作为一种积极的信号,但在某些文化中,竖起大拇指可能会使你陷入困境。
3.Basically the meaning comes out as “great”, or “completely fine”.However,in a few countries in Europe,people may think you’re telling them that you think they’re a “zero”.
基本上,这个意思是“很好”,或者“非常好”。然而,在欧洲的一些国家,人们可能认为你在告诉他们你认为他们是一无是处的。

Task 3: Micro-writing
Besides words, we use body language to express our thoughts and opinions in our interactions with other people. We can learn a lot about 1. people are thinking by watching their body language.
Body language 2. (vary) from culture to culture. It is crucial 3. (use) body language in a way that is appropriate to the culture 4. you are.

Consider a person very important to you. He or she keeps on talking to the extent of boring you and makes you feel like escaping from that place. To prevent the annoyance or boredom showing in your face, you may use gestures, gazes and smiles to pretend that you are listening! We call them a non-verbal way of communication or the “body language”!
There are gestures, gazes and smiles to show how far we are interested in the conversation.
Gestures may be of different types. Notice a person playing a dice game. When there is a positive sign of victory on his side, he gets more excited and rubs his palms fast. Then he throws the dice. Similarly a salesperson knows when his customer is responsive. Hand-to-cheek gesture or hand-to-chin gesture from the person shows his disinterest and the salesman realizes that the customer is not interested in his presentation. Slapping one’s own forehead indicates the person’s forgetfulness.
Gazes go a long way in communicating with each other. When a person’s gaze meets yours for more than two thirds of the time, it can mean one of two things: first, he or she finds you very interesting or appealing, in which case the gaze will be associated with dilated pupils (瞳孔); secondly, he or she is hostile (怀有敌意的) towards you and may be issuing a non-verbal challenge, in which case the pupils will become smaller.
Smile your way into someone’s heart. There are 50 or so different types of human smiles. By analysing the movements of facial muscles involved in smiling, researchers can tell when a smile is true. Look for the crinkle in the skin at the middle, outside corner of the eyes and if it is not there, the smile is probably fake. Real smiles are smiles that change rapidly from a small facial movement to a broad open expression.
Learn the body language and succeed in winning over others!
( )1.What kind of body language shows the customer is not enthusiastic about the salesman’s presentation
A.Slapping his/her own forehead.
B.Putting a hand to his/her chin.
C.Rubbing his/her palms.
D.Rolling his/her eyes.
( )2.What does the underlined word “dilated” in the fourth paragraph probably mean
A.Thinner. B.Calmer.
C.Wider. D.Smaller.
( )3.What’s the author’s attitude towards the learning of body language

Body language presentation
cues to use in your next speech
Some people may go into a presentation like they’re going into battle. I was one of those people. But after years of public speaking experience, I’ve learned some body language tips.
1. When we’re nervous on stage, we often go into “deer in the headlights” mode. We bring our arms in close and keep our feet in the smallest space possible. To give effective presentations, you’ve got to learn how to master your space. Don’t forget there is space around you! Walk around, and use big gestures and power poses.
Use hand gestures. Here’s the deal: research shows that using hand gestures increases the value of your message by 60%! 2. In our human behaviour research lab, we analysed thousands of hours of TED talks and found one striking pattern: the most viral TED talkers spoke with their words and their hands.
Raise your hand. Remember those times in class when the teachers asked us to raise our hands 3. Whenever you ask a question to the audience, try to spin it in a way to get the audience to participate. Instead of asking your audience, “Did you think the event was amazing ” try asking, “Raise your hand if you think the event was amazing.”
Laugh it off. Humour is one of the best ways to turn a dull presentation into a lively one. Who doesn’t love to laugh Chances are, you’re not laughing enough. Research shows that adults only laugh an average of 15 times a day, while preschoolers laugh 400 times! 4. Laughing is actually more about building relationships than reacting to jokes.
Have fun! Remember, your goal as a presenter isn’t just to relay information. You’ve also got a second job as an entertainer. Remember to engage the audience and enjoy yourself on stage! 5.
A.Take up space.
B.Be brave on stage.
C.And we confirmed it using science.
D.It’s not only about feeling good, either.
E.You are sure to have a good time in class.
F.They do it for a reason: It increases audience involvement!
G.Your audience will appreciate it, and you’ll feel much freer, too.

[解析] 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中“To prevent
the annoyance or boredom showing in your face, you may use
gestures, gazes and smiles to pretend that you are listening! We
call them a non-verbal way of communication or the ‘body
language’!”可知，本文主要介绍了肢体语言的不同种类——手势、
凝视和微笑，以及如何通过肢体语言判断对方的状态，故B项“通过
肢体语言进行交流”为最佳标题。故选B项。

in your next speech

into battle. I was one of those people. But after years of public
speaking experience, I've learned some body language tips.

1.___ When we're nervous on stage, we often go into “deer
in the headlights” mode. We bring our arms in close and keep
our feet in the smallest space possible. To give effective
presentations, you've got to learn how to master your space.
Don't forget there is space around you! Walk around, and use
big gestures and power poses.
Use hand gestures. Here's the deal: research shows that
using hand gestures increases the value of your message by
60%! 2.___ In our human behaviour research lab, we analysed

thousands of hours of TED talks and found one striking pattern:
the most viral TED talkers spoke with their words and their
hands.
Raise your hand. Remember those times in class when the
teachers asked us to raise our hands 3.___ Whenever you ask
a question to the audience, try to spin it in a way to get the
audience to participate. Instead of asking your audience, “Did
you think the event was amazing ” try asking, “Raise your hand
if you think the event was amazing.”

Laugh it off. Humour is one of the best ways to turn a dull
presentation into a lively one. Who doesn't love to laugh
Chances are, you're not laughing enough. Research shows that
adults only laugh an average of 15 times a day, while
preschoolers laugh 400 times! 4.___ Laughing is actually more
about building relationships than reacting to jokes.
Have fun! Remember, your goal as a presenter isn't just to
relay information. You've also got a second job as an
entertainer. Remember to engage the audience and enjoy
yourself on stage! 5.___
