Ⅰ．阅读理解(共8小题；每小题2.5分，满分20分)
A
My interest in body language began with a professor of mine at university．He mentioned “Pinocchio” to me one cold morning after saying that I always rubbed my nose when giving excuses for being late to his courses．Actually，when someone tells a lie，the person's blood rushes to the nose and the extra blood makes it itchy (发痒的)．This little example of non-verbal communication inspired me to become a body language expert．Now，I earn my living by training people in non-verbal communication．Knowing when someone is lying and knowing how to persuade people are two of the most important skills you'll ever learn．
I have spent a lot of time studying the ways the human body gives and they provide more reliable information than the words we speak．The words say one thing but the body may say something completely different．We know that crossed arms can be seen as either defensive or aggressive (攻击性的)，but what about facial expressions，postures and gestures？All of these say a lot and can only be understood if you know how to make sense of the signs．
Business companies always need my services and I try to improve their confidence by teaching them about body language．I give advice about handshakes，which should always be firm and steady，and I teach the importance of personal space．They may seem like small matters，but these codes of behaviour can be the key to making or breaking a business deal．
My working life gives me a great deal of satisfaction．I feel that I'm providing a public service，but it is a service that has had its downside．Whenever I meet someone new and I tell them what I do for a living，they immediately put their guard up and they're no longer relaxed．They quite literally freeze in the attempt to hide all the signals that they think I'm reading．It makes life difficult at times，but I consider it a small price to pay for a job I enjoy so much．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。作为研究肢体语言的专家，作者论述了肢体语言的重要性，并提到这份特别的工作对自己的影响。
1．What is the author's purpose of mentioning his professor
A．To describe his professor's success．
B．To explain why he chose his career．
C．To show his professor's study of the “Pinocchio” effect．
D．To introduce what impressed him most during his career．
B [推理判断题。根据文章第一段的“My interest in body language began with a professor of mine at university．．．This little example of non-verbal communication inspired me to become a body language expert．”可知，作者大学时的一位老师从作者的肢体语言中发现了他在撒谎，这激起了作者研究肢体语言的兴趣。由此推知，作者提到这位老师是为了解释他从事这项工作的原因。故选B。]
2．What is the main idea of the second paragraph
A．The body language can tell you the real story behind words．
B．It takes a plenty of time to study the body language．
C．Crossed arms can be regarded as an impolite way．
D．Facial expressions play an important part in the body language．
A [段落大意题。根据文章第二段“I have spent a lot of time studying the ways the human body gives and they provide more reliable information than the words we speak．The words say one thing but the body may say something completely different．．．All of these say a lot and can only be understood if you know how to make sense of the signs．”可知，本段讲述了肢体语言可以告诉你语言背后的真实想法。故选A。]
3．Why do people react in an unnatural way when knowing the author's profession
A．They dislike his services．
B．They think he is too proud．
C．They consider him unreliable．
D．They believe he is studying them．
D [推理判断题。根据文章最后一段第三、四句“每当我遇到一个不熟悉的人，我告诉他们我是做什么的，他们就会立刻提高警惕，不再放松。他们逐渐停住不动，试图隐藏他们认为我在揣摩的所有信号”可推知，刚刚接触作者的人听说他的职业后会表现得不自然是因为他们觉得作者会研究他们。故选D。]
4．What can we learn about the author from the text
A．He thinks little of minor gestures．
B．He travels the world giving advice．
C．He is happy with his work．
D．He is good at pretending．
C [推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的“My working life gives me a great deal of satisfaction．”及“It makes life difficult at times，but I consider it a small price to pay for a job I enjoy so much．”可推知，作者喜欢自己的工作并能从中获得满足感。故选C。]
B
Body language is an essential part of communication and can be just as important as our spoken language．Body language can be both conscious and unconscious actions，so it is important to make sure your body is sending the same messages as your words to ensure good communication．These actions can strengthen the verbal messages you're sending or they can lead to mistrust and 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 non-verbal signs unintentionally communicate parts of us 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 others to know．But body language can strengthen our verbal messages and solidify what we are telling others．Making eye contact or taking notes while someone is speaking can communicate genuine (真正的) 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．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 make you feel more confident．When speaking to others，practice controlling the impulse (冲动) to fidget and planting your feet confidently to increase self-esteem．
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。文章说明了肢体语言在我们生活中的作用。
5．What will your body language tell if it can't go with your speech
A．Probable disbelief．
B．A dull speech．
C．An unclear condition．
D．True meaning behind words．
A [细节理解题。根据文章第一段中最后一句“这些行为可能会强化你发送的口头信息，也可能导致不信任和困惑——沟通不畅和误解的迹象。”可知，如果肢体语言与我们的口头语言不一致，就有可能传递不信任和困惑的信息。故选A。]
6．Why does the author give some examples in paragraph 2
A．To show body language can help us all the time．
B．To tell body language can show the true side of us．
C．To explain how challenging it is to read body language．
D．To tell teachers how to judge a student's understanding．
B [推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“Some non-verbal signs unintentionally communicate parts of us that we don't want others to know．For example，．．．”可以推断出，作者举例是为了说明有些非语言性的信号能展现我们真实的一面。故选B。]
7．What can we know from the last two paragraphs
A．Hand signals are essential ways to make us understood．
B．Naturally occurring forms of body language make us confident．
C．Proper body language can help us a lot in gaining confidence．
D．When speaking to others，try your best to hide your body language．
C [推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“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 make you feel more confident．”可知，作者讲述了合适的肢体语言能让我们展现自信的一面，由此可推断，适当的肢体语言能在获得自信这一方面帮助我们。故选C。]
8．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．Communicating with Body Language
B．Understanding Others by Body Language
C．Being Smart in Showing Your Body Language
D．Getting to Know Your Friends Through Body Language
A [标题归纳题。通读全文，尤其是文章第一段可知，文章讲述了肢体语言在我们沟通中起到的作用。所以A项“Communicating with Body Language”符合题意。故选A。]
Ⅱ．阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
So you want to know how to look more confident and think body language is the key？Well，if that's the case，then you've come to the right place！There are many tools and techniques you can use to gain confidence and feel great． 1 ．

【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。肢体语言在不同的文化中差异很大，对肢体语言做出正确的反应是我们日常生活的重要组成部分。
1．emotions [考查名词复数。句意：在我们与他人的互动中，我们倾向于通过使用适当的肢体语言来表达特定的内心情绪。表示多种情绪，用复数形式emotions作宾语。故填emotions。]
2．difficulty [考查词性转换。名词difficulty作宾语，构成短语have difficulty (in) doing sth．“做某事有困难”。故填difficulty。]
3．accurately [考查词性转换。副词accurately作状语，修饰动词interpret。故填accurately。]
4．demonstrated [考查非谓语动词。句意：因此，我们应该学会感知和判断别人的肢体语言所表现出的喜怒哀乐，并相应地调整我们说话的方式。空处为非谓语动词，the joys and sorrows与demonstrate之间为逻辑上的被动关系，用过去分词作定语。故填demonstrated。]
5．lower [考查谓语动词。句意：例如，当一个人感到尴尬或羞愧时，他会低下头或弯腰，盯着地面。本句为一般将来时：will＋动词原形。故填lower。]
6．to cross [考查非谓语动词。句意：如果一个人非常愤怒或感到焦虑，他会倾向于将双臂交叉在胸前。have a tendency to do sth．“有做某事的趋向”。故填to cross。]
7．straightening [考查非谓语动词。句意：当他感到骄傲时，我们可以看到他挺直腰板。witness sb．doing sth．“看到某人正在做某事”。故填straightening。]
8．what [考查主语从句。句意：从一个人的眼睛几乎不动或脸上冷漠的表情中，我们可以推断出这个人是分心的。空处为主语从句，从句缺少宾语，用what。故填what。]
9．varies [考查时态。句意：当然，我们不能总是做出可靠的推断，因为肢体语言因文化而异。此处陈述事实，为一般现在时，主语为body language，空处为谓语。故填varies。]
10．to [考查介词。句意：毕竟，对肢体语言做出适当的反应是我们日常生活的重要组成部分。react to“对……作出反应”，为固定短语。故填to。]
