My First Speech and Body Language
Last week, our teacher asked us to give a short speech in class. I decided to 11 a topic about friendship, but I was very worried about it. I knew my spoken English was good enough, but I was afraid of my bad body language. When I practiced at home, I always looked down and played with my pen, which made me look 12 .
My best friend Lily noticed my problem and gave me some practical advice. She told me to make more 13 with the audience and keep my back straight. She also said that I should use simple 14 to emphasize my ideas, like raising my hand when I talked about important things. I followed her advice and practiced every day. I tried to smile and sit up 15 when I practiced, and I learned to breathe 16 to stay calm.
On the speech day, I walked to the front of the class with a big smile. I kept my back straight and made eye contact with my classmates. I used small gestures as Lily told me, and I didn’t look down at my notes all the time. When I finished my speech, my classmates clapped their hands loudly. My teacher praised me for my great 17 .
This experience taught me that good body language is as important as good words. It makes us look more 18 and helps people understand our ideas better. Now I know that if we want to communicate well, we need to 19 our body language as well as our spoken language. I will never forget this valuable lesson, for it brings me not only 20 in the speech but also a new way of communicating with others.

三、阅读理解（共 15 小题，每小题 2 分，共 30 分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳答案。
(A)
Body language is a silent form of communication that accompanies our words. It covers facial looks, hand movements, eye connection, as well as the postures we take when standing or sitting. Many people regard spoken words as the core of communication, yet actually, body language makes up more than half of the total messages we pass to others. A warm facial smile can express friendliness, whereas folding your arms might make others feel you are unwilling to communicate. Lowering your head while speaking usually indicates nervousness, and maintaining steady eye connection shows you are honest and paying close attention.
Learning to understand others’ body language enables us to grasp their real emotions. For instance, if someone says “I’m okay” but their hands are closed tightly and their eyebrows are drawn together, they are almost certainly not truly fine. Body language also helps us express ourselves more effectively. An open body position during a talk will make you appear more self-assured and make the conversation go more smoothly. It’s a basic ability that everyone should master for good communication.
21. What is included in body language according to the passage
A. Written words B. Facial expressions
C. Written messages D. Spoken sentences
22. What percentage of communication information does body language account for
A. Less than half B. Half of the total
C. Over 50 percent D. Almost all
23. What does folding your arms probably show in communication
A. You are ready to talk B. You feel nervous
C. You are friendly to others D. You don’t want to communicate
24. What can an open body position bring to us during a conversation
A. It makes us look more confident B. It makes us speak more loudly
C. It makes us lower our head easily D. It makes us forget our words
(B)
Body language carries different meanings in various cultures, and misunderstandings are likely to happen if we lack the knowledge of these differences. In most Western nations, direct eye connection is a symbol of respect and careful listening. If you keep away from eye contact while talking, Western people may think you are not telling the truth or have no interest in the talk. However, in many Asian countries, making direct eye contact with older people or people in higher positions is seen as impolite. Lowering your head a little is a way to show your respect to them.
Hand movements also have different cultural meanings across the world. The thumbs-up gesture is a sign of approval in most countries, but it is considered rude in some Middle Eastern nations. Shaking hands is a common way to greet others in China and Western countries, but bowing is a more traditional greeting in Japan and Korea. Hugging is a warm way to welcome friends in America and Europe, but it is not a common practice in most Asian countries.
Learning these cultural differences can help us communicate more smoothly with people from other countries and stay away from unnecessary misunderstandings.
25. What does direct eye contact stand for in most Western countries
A. Impoliteness and rudeness B. Respect and attentive listening
C. Lying and dishonesty D. Disinterest and boredom

27. Which gesture means approval in most parts of the world

Ballet is known as the “language of dancers” because it uses body movements to tell stories and express emotions without any spoken words. Ballet dancers use their body moves, hand gestures, facial expressions and even eye movements to show different feelings such as joy, sorrow, anger and affection. A light jump can express happiness, while a slow and heavy movement can show sadness. A soft look can stand for love, and a sharp stare can express anger.
Ballet first appeared in Western Europe in the 15th century and has developed for hundreds of years. Dancers begin to learn dancing when they are very young, and they need to practice hard to control their bodies perfectly. Every movement in ballet has a special meaning, and dancers must make every gesture clear and accurate so that the audience can understand the stories they are showing.
Besides ballet, many other performing arts such as modern dance and opera also make full use of body language. Body language makes these art forms more expressive and moving, and it helps the audience connect with the performers more closely.

A. It has special words only for ballet dancers
B. It is the most popular dance form in Western Europe
C. Dancers need to sing and speak while performing ballet

Sign language is a special form of body language that helps deaf people communicate with each other. It is not just a silent form of spoken language, but a complete communication system with its own unique rules. Sign language uses hand signs, facial expressions and body movements to send out messages. Different countries have different sign languages, just like they have different spoken and written languages. Chinese Sign Language (CSL) is the official sign language in China, and it has a close connection with Chinese traditional culture.
In CSL, simple hand gestures can express different meanings. For example, crossing your index and middle fingers and pressing them down means “agreement”, and raising one hand with the palm facing outwards and moving it from side to side means “refusal”. Making a thumbs-up and bending it twice with a smile on your face is the way to say “gratitude”. Deaf people use these gestures every day to talk with each other, and they also use sign language to communicate with people who can hear but have learned CSL.
Learning a little sign language is a way to show respect for deaf people. It can also help us build a more open and accepting world where everyone can communicate with each other smoothly and happily.
33. What is the main use of sign language as a special body language
A. Helping deaf people communicate with others
B. Helping dancers perform better on the stage
C. Helping foreigners greet Chinese people
D. Helping children play games with each other
34. Which gesture means “refusal” in CSL according to the passage
A. Crossing index and middle fingers and pressing down
B. Making a thumbs-up and bending it twice with a smile
C. Raising one hand with palm out and moving it side to side
D. Shaking hands with others gently and slowly
35. What can we learn from the passage about sign language
A. Sign language is the same in all countries around the world
B. Learning a little sign language shows respect for deaf people
C. Sign language is just a silent version of spoken language
D. CSL has no connection with Chinese traditional culture

Body Language at School
Body language is very important in our school life. It helps us communicate better without words.
Firstly, good body language shows confidence. When answering questions in class, we should stand straight and keep eye contact with the teacher. This shows we are sure about our answers. Secondly, it helps build friendships. A warm smile when meeting classmates makes us look friendly. When listening to others, nodding our heads shows we are paying attention and understand them.
However, bad body language like looking down or crossing arms can make us seem nervous or unfriendly. We should avoid these.
In short, using proper body language at school helps us become better communicators and makes our school life more pleasant. Let’s all pay attention to it!
