Ⅲ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了肢体语言和语言同样重要,它不仅有其自身的规则,而且能够被科学地剖析,使用肢体语言可以提高交际效果。
1.C 细节理解题。根据第一段“His study shows that within the first four minutes of meeting a stranger, our facial expressions make up 55 percent of the impression we make. In comparison, only seven percent of that impression comes from our actual words, with the rest of the information coming from the tone (语气) of voice.”可知,面部表情占印象的55%,实际说的话只有7%,因此语气占剩下的38%。故选C项。
2.A 推理判断题。根据第二段“But scientists have found body language does have its own rules and can be exactly examined like a book written in your native tongue.”可推知,第二段中的例子表明肢体语言可以系统地学习。故选A项。
3.B 推理判断题。根据第三段“Communication expert Carol Kinsey Goman once gave a report at a company in New York. The CEO sat at the table with his arms closely crossed, without smiling or nodding encouragement. In the end, he simply said ‘thank you’ without making eye contact and left the room. Goman was shocked when the man’s secretary told her that he’d been favourably impressed by her.”可知,在Goman看来,那位CEO在她做报告时双臂交叉,没有微笑和点头给予鼓励,是对她的讲解不感兴趣。故选B项。
4.B 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The technique (方法), called mirroring, involves studying the facial expressions, body movements, and the tone of voice used by the person to whom you’re talking, and then using them too. But make sure it’s done in a relaxed and normal way, Zagnoli says.”可知,Zagnoli 建议我们在谈话的时候自然地模仿他人的肢体语言。故选B项。
Ⅳ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了如何在不同的文化背景下解释他人的肢体语言以及如何做好回应,使自己感到更自信,使交流更有效。
1.searching 考查非谓语动词。此处是“find+宾语+宾补”结构,search与宾语yourself之间为主动关系,所以使用现在分词形式作宾补。故填searching。
2.greatest 考查形容词最高级。定冠词the后面用最高级形式greatest。故填greatest。
3.by 考查介词。此处用by表示“通过某种方式”。故填by。
4.culturally 考查副词。修饰形容词 universal,用副词形式 culturally表示“在文化上”。故填culturally。
5.assumption 考查名词。作动词的宾语,应用名词assumption。故填assumption。
6.a 考查冠词。固定短语take a second look at意为“再看一看”。故填a。
7.what 考查宾语从句。此处为连接词引导宾语从句,从句缺少宾语,指的是物,应用what。故填what。
8.that/which 考查定语从句。此句是定语从句,先行词influences在从句中作主语,指物,故填that/which。
9.based 考查非谓语动词。be based on表示“根据”,此处用过去分词。故填based。
10.has developed 考查动词时态和主谓一致。此处为谓语动词,根据后文in the last few years可知,用现在完成时,主语the British Council 为第三人称单数,助动词用has。故填has developed。
Ⅴ.【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者身在异国他乡,感到格格不入,后来作者在当地一家动物收容所做志愿者,在这里照顾一只名叫Luna的猫的经历让作者的心态发生了改变,找到了归属感。

We like to think words are what matters. But in communicating with other people, what we do is at least as important as what we actually say. American professor Albert Mehrabian is one of the leading researchers on this topic. His study shows that within the first four minutes of meeting a stranger, our facial expressions make up 55 percent of the impression we make. In comparison, only seven percent of that impression comes from our actual words, with the rest of the information coming from the tone (语气) of voice.
We may also like to think body language cannot be read like a book. It has no systematic grammar like that of a spoken/written language. And it seems less formal and exact. But scientists have found body language does have its own rules and can be exactly examined like a book written in your native tongue. For example, researchers Paul Ekman and Wallace Friesen have identified about 3,000 different expressions and their meanings. They created the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), a tool for collecting meaning from expressions.
But it’s also easy to misunderstand body language. The rules may fit most people but not munication expert Carol Kinsey Goman once gave a report at a company in New York. The CEO sat at the table with his arms closely crossed, without smiling or nodding encouragement. In the end, he simply said “thank you” without making eye contact and left the room. Goman was shocked when the man’s secretary told her that he’d been favourably impressed by her. If the CEO hadn’t liked what he’d heard, the secretary explained to Goman, “he would have gotten up right in the middle of your report and walked out”.
You can train yourself to control your body language, and even use it to make your communication more munication expert Theresa Zagnoli suggests a simple but useful approach. The technique (方法), called mirroring, involves studying the facial expressions, body movements, and the tone of voice used by the person to whom you’re talking, and then using them too. But make sure it’s done in a relaxed and normal way, Zagnoli says.
( )1.How much of the impression comes from our tone according to Albert’s research
A.7%. B.15%.
C.38%. D.55%.
( )2.What does the example in Paragraph 2 show
A.Body language can be systematically studied.
B.It is hard to understand human body language.
C.The grammar of body language is very difficult.
D.Expressions have thousands of different meanings.
( )3.What did the CEO’s body language mean in Goman’s eyes
A.He had a lot of work to do at the time.
B.He showed little interest in her report.
