A
Words are powerful: they have the ability to lift up the lowest of the low or tear down the highest of the high. But a strong argument could be made that our body language is even more influential. The most effective communication occurs when the importance of body language in teaching is acknowledged. When these nonverbal signals are working together with our words, it creates communication synergy.
It has been suggested that two-thirds of our communication is nonverbal. Positive body language in a classroom setting has the ability to motivate, inspire and engage. It can not only give you the confidence you need to teach but can also inform your students that you actually know what you’re talking about. It can even make your students feel safe and confident enough to participate in the lessons more frequently.
Most leadership positions encourage body language that shows power and confidence. Signals include standing tall, gesturing only from the waist up, head straight and forward, and talking while pointing to others, which are obvious ways to exercise control. But when teaching, the nonverbal signals need to show a different type of leader. These signals convey warmth and understanding, reminding your students that you are approachable and there to help them grow. For example, fix your eyes on one student for about 15-30 seconds before changing to another student, which is one of the best ways to keep students’ focus. Nod your head. Give a thumbs up—maybe two! Show them they are on the right path and they will be more confident in continuing down it.
The importance of body language can never be ignored. It’s desirable that you should advocate using body language in teaching and pay attention to the use rule and using skills. You should use right, natural and clear body language. It’s crucial that you create good classroom atmosphere, inspire students’ imagination and grasp students’ mood.
1. Which has a similar meaning as the underlined word “synergy” in Paragraph 1
A. Energy loss. B. Confusing result.
C. Individual effect. D. Combined power.
2. What do most leadership positions mainly express
A. Warmth. B. Control.
C. Understanding. D. Encouragement.
3. What’s the purpose of the last paragraph
A. To explain a theory. B. To make a description.
C. To give suggestions. D. To summarize a debate.
4. What is the text mainly talking about
A. The importance of teacher’s body language.
B. The effective ways of good communication.
C. The value of teacher-student communication.
D. The prospect of students’ nonverbal learning.
B
A new UN report is set to reveal that up to 1 million species face extinction because of human actions. We are causing a mass extinction event, and critically we cannot separate one environmental crisis from another. Biodiversity loss cannot be separated from climate change, or from human population growth or pollution or plastics in our oceans. These challenges are all interconnected. If we continue to consider these problems separately, solutions will continue to emerge far too slowly.
The connections between these crises make solutions seem all too difficult. But in fact, a solution to one problem will inevitably make a positive impact on many others too. More than 28, 000 people are dying because of polluted air each year in Britain and air pollution is linked to psychotic (精神病的) experiences and a reduction in educational achievement. It’s not rocket science: improving air quality in our cities by cutting polluting vehicles will bring a vast range of benefits to human health, and help deal with climate change too.
George Monbiot advocates taking land out of meat production and rewilding it. This will not only boost biodiversity enormously but will also deal with global warming because those rewilded, rewetted lands will capture significantly more carbon. If these lands are also opened up for us to enjoy, our physical and mental health will flourish. Thus we repair the ecology of destruction.
It can be difficult to know what we can do as individuals—but at least we all possess an increasingly understanding of how farming, consumption and energy-use impacts upon the planet. If everyone makes a small change, that will make a difference to our planet.
We're not struggling to find ideas to solve problems either globally or locally. It's action we're lacking, in government and beyond, as individuals and together as a species. If we act now we may be surprised at how these seemingly vast problems decrease quicker than we imagine.
5. What does the first paragraph mainly tell us
A. The age of mass extinction has arrived.
B. Environmental crises are interrelated.
C.Humans are to blame for mass extinction.
D. Environmental crises should be solved separately.
6. Why are rewilded lands beneficial to controlling global warming
A. They attract tourists. B. They provide habitat for birds.
C. They take in carbon. D. They boost biodiversity.
7. What does the author call on people to do
A. Take action now. B. Find a better idea.
C. Cooperate with others. D. Turn to the government.
8. Where does this text probably come from
A. A news report. B. A scientific journal.
C. A climate handbook. D. A biology textbook.
II 七选五
Do you remember what it is like to be a kid ____9____Wake up. Get dressed. Brush your teeth. Eat your breakfast. Get in the car. Go to school. Sometimes kids listen to the instructions, but sometimes they don’t. And when they don’t, that can be very depressing for parents. So how can parents get their kids to act accordingly
One strategy widely recommended by children’s health professionals is to engage your child in “special time”. For at least 5 minutes a day, join your child in activities like playing with dolls-anything that doesn’t have a right or wrong way to play. Don’t ask questions or give commands. ____10___It gives your child a chance to interact with you without the stress of having to follow directions, which in turn strengthens the bond between you.
Research has shown that this kind of playtime can be helpful in treating disruptive (捣乱的) conduct in children. According to a 2017 review of literature, special time has long been regarded as an “effective prevention for many emotional and behavioral difficulties” since it was developed in the 1970s. ____11____
If you’re ready to try special time with your child, keep these in your mind. Repeat back some of what they say. If they say “and it crashes,” you’re going to say “and it crashes.” The repetition shows your child you understand them and that you’re listening. ____12____. Rather than saying “good job,” because kids hear that all day long, say “I love the way you stack (堆) those blocks high.”
____13____But give it a week or two, and you’ll find that your child won’t want it to end. The best way to find out if something is good or successful is to test it yourself.
A. This is your child’s time to be in charge.
B. So much of the day is directed by adults.
C. Show enthusiasm while playing with your child.
D. The practice often feels awkward for adults at first.
E. Give your child specific praise as you play together.
F. It increases the closeness between your child and you.
G. It’s also been shown to boost concentration and social skills in children.

【13题详解】
上文““Rather than saying “good job,” because kids hear that all day long, say “I love the way you stack (堆) those blocks high.” (不要说“干得好”，因为孩子们整天都听到这句话，而是说“我喜欢你把积木堆得这么高。”) ”为作者给出的建议；下文“But give it a week or two, and you’ll find that your child won’t want it to end. (但是过一两个星期，你就会发现你的孩子并不想结束。)”为转折句，孩子不想结束，说明是成功的。D项“The practice often feels awkward for adults at first. (一开始，这种做法通常会让成年人感到尴尬。)”中“The practice”指代上文的建议，且说明缺点，照应下文的转折句，即使成年人一开始会尴尬，但是孩子喜欢。故选D。
