A
Body language is a very important part of communication, but do you know the same gesture can mean different things in different countries
Nodding your head usually means “YES”. Especially in Japan, nodding and bowing are the ways that locals show their agreement and respect. But in Bulgaria (保加利亚) and Greece, nodding up and down means “NO.”
Strong eye contact is very common in Spain, Greece and Arab (阿拉伯的) countries. However, in Finland and Japan, too much eye contact is |considered rude. To avoid embarrassment, they often look at the other person’s neck or shoulders instead.
Tapping your nose means “secret” in England while it means “be careful” in Italy.
In many cultures, like Italy and the U. S., people use their arms freely when talking. However, Northern Europeans don’t like gesturing with their arms. They think it is too dramatic (戏剧化的). Similarly, in Japan, gesturing with broad arm movements is thought to be impolite.
Sitting cross-legged is common in North America and some European countries. But in Asia and the Middle East, sitting like this is not respectful.
The “thumbs up” sign is another interesting example. In the U. S., it usually means “good job” or “everything is okay”. But in some Middle-Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iran, this gesture is very offensive. It’s like a very bad word.
Understanding these differences helps us avoid misunderstandings. When you travel or talk to someone from a different culture, pay attention to their body language. You can make a big difference in how well you communicate!

I knew that she needed to get home, which was a long walk away. She didn’t want to use any transportation but I offered to walk her to a bus stop. And she could call her daughter for a ride there. As we walked, we laughed and joked, even though we couldn’t understand each other’s language. It was a pretty fun experience!
The old lady was very grateful for my help and kept thanking me. I had to keep reminding her that it was no trouble at all and I was happy to help. It was amazing how just a small act of kindness made such a big difference to her.
Finally, we reached the bus stop and she made her call. We said our goodbyes to each other. Even though we used technology to communicate, it was lucky that we could help each other out and not be stopped by our different languages.

Sign language is a kind of body language. Body language includes eye contact, walking postures, standing postures and gestures (手势). Body language can express all kinds of thoughts and feelings. Different cultures have different body language. Here are some common gestures in different cultures.
In China, a thumb-up sign is used to praise someone for being “good”, “great” and “smart”. In America, a thumb-up sign means “It’s good” or “It’s OK” while a thumb-down sign means the opposite (相反的). ______. For example, in Japan, that also means “man”, “your father” and “the highest”. In South Korea, it also means “the chief”, “one’s own father”, “minister” and “captain”. In Australia, the United States, Mexico and other countries, it means “the fate of prayer (祈祷的命运)”.

Vivi is a classroom technology system (科技系统). A quarter of independent schools and some government schools have already used it. It has created a new emoji feature to encourage students to use the bright yellow faces.

“It’s a really wonderful technology,” she said. “The use of emojis is a good way for students to ask for help, especially if they are feeling sad in the classroom.”
“Students’ ability to learn has something to do with their emotional state (情绪状态).” she said. “We know a lot of communication happens through technology, and students feel comfortable and relaxed when they use emojis as a language.”
Natalie Mactier, CEO of Vivi, said that nothing could be more challenging than being a teacher. “When used in a smart way, technology can he powerful and useful in the classroom,” Ms. Mactier said. “More and more young people enjoy communicating and expressing their emotions through technology, so we are pleased to support them with the tools they need.”

Last month, my classmate Lily went for a part-time job interview. She prepared well for the questions, but she didn’t care her body language. During the interview, she sat with her arms crossed and 22_______ looking the interviewer’s eyes. She also kept sighing when thinking about answers and played with her hair unconsciously.

On the other hand, my friend Tom had a different experience. He also went for an interview. He sat up straight with a smile, and 24__________eye contact with the interviewer.

21.句意：当我们第一次与人见面时，肢体语言往往会留下第一印象。
impression 印象；message 信息；meaning 含义；expression 表情。固定搭配 make the first impression 意为 “留下第一印象”，符合首次见面的语境逻辑。故选 A。
22.句意：面试过程中，她双臂交叉坐着，并且避免和面试官进行眼神交流。

23.句意：面试官告诉她，她的肢体语言让她看起来既害羞又不自信。
polite 有礼貌的；shy 害羞的；friendly 友好的；active 积极的。前文提到莉莉双臂交叉、回避眼神交流，这些动作会传递出 “害羞” 的感觉，与 unconfident 并列，符合语境。故选 B。

26.句意：我们还需要使用恰当的肢体语言来更好地表达自己。
understand 理解；introduce 介绍；express 表达；know 知道。前文提到肢体语言能传递想法和感受，此处承接上文，指用肢体语言 “表达” 自身状态，契合文章主旨。故选 C。
27.句意：无论在面试、谈话还是日常交流中，良好的肢体语言都能帮助我们更顺畅地沟通。
smoothly 顺畅地；difficultly 困难地；carefully 仔细地；quickly 快速地。良好的肢体语言是沟通的助力，会让沟通更 “顺畅”，而非困难、快速或仅仅是仔细。故选 A。
28.句意：此外，它还能帮助我们避免与不同文化背景的人产生误解。
cause 造成；avoid 避免；create 创造；accept 接受。根据后文列举的不同国家礼仪差异，得体的肢体语言可以消除文化隔阂，“避免” 误解，符合语境。故选 B。
29.句意：我们应该一直关注肢体语言。
pay attention to 关注；look forward to 期待；take care of 照顾；make connection to 与…… 建立联系。后文提到 “Small changes like sitting up straight... can make a big difference”，可知此处是建议人们要 “关注” 肢体语言的细节。故选 A。
30.句意：毕竟，我们的身体也在 “说话”，而我们希望它传递出正确的信息。
wrong 错误的；direct 直接的；right 正确的；funny 有趣的。文章强调重视肢体语言的目的，是让它传递 “正确” 的信息，帮助人们更好地沟通和建立关系。故选 C。

四、任务型阅读
When we communicate with others, we often use body language.
Body language includes things like facial expressions, eye contact and posture (姿势). It actually developed as a form of communication before humans could speak or write. We can tell a lot about what a person is thinking or feeling just by looking at them.
In fact, body language is so common that you may not even realize that you are sending many messages to others every day without even using words.
For example, you might move your head from side to side to express the word “no”. You might give a “thumbs up” to show that you like or agree with something. Or, you might cross the thumb with the index finger (食指) to form the shape of a heart to represent love.
But now we are spending more time online. Our “digital (数字的) body language” is becoming increasingly important as we change how we communicate. For instance, instead of using voice messages, you can video chat with your friends to show them your face.
Another way to express your emotions digitally is through emojis (表情符号). “When we are communicating online, we are only revealing (显示) the content and leaving out vocal tones (音调) and facial expressions,” Moitree Banerjee, a lecturer of psychology (心理学) at the University of Chichester in England, told Digital Trends. That’s when “emojis can help greatly in communication.”
41. Can we tell person’s thought or feeling by his or her body language
42. What does body language include
43. How do we show our emotions online
44. Do you like to use “digital body language” in your daily life Why or Why not
【答案】41. Yes, we can. 42. It includes things like facial expressions, eye contact and posture. 43. By video chatting with our friends to show them our face and through emojis.
44. Yes, I often use emojis because it is interesting and it can help me communicate with others.
【分析】当我们跟其他人交流的时候，我们经常会用到身体语言，如面部表情、眼神接触以及肢体动作等。即使现在我们经常在网上与人聊天，我们还是会用到“数字身体语言”，例如我们和朋友视频聊天，让他们看到我们的面部表情，还有就是使用一些表情符号。
41. 根据第二段“We can tell a lot about what a person is thinking or feeling just by looking at them.”可知，通过观察一个人我们可以了解他的想法或感受。由此可知这个题目的答案是肯定的。故填Yes, we can.
42. 根据第二段“Body language includes things like facial expressions, eye contact and posture (姿势).”可知，肢体语言包括面部表情、眼神接触和姿势。故填It includes things like facial expressions, eye contact and posture.
43. 根据第五段“For instance, instead of using voice messages, you can video chat with your friends to show them your face.”和第六段“Another way to express your emotions digitally is through emojis (表情符号).”可知，我们可以和朋友视频聊天，让他们看到我们的脸；或者是使用表情符号。故填By video chatting with our friends to show them our face and through emojis.
44. 这是一个开放式的问题，题意为“在你的日常生活中你喜欢使用‘数字肢体语言’吗？为什么”，学生们可结合自己的实际进行回答，并陈述理由。例如Yes, I often use emojis because it is interesting and it can help me communicate with others.

【答案】例文
Body Language in China
We often use body language in our daily life. I’d like to tell you something about it in China.
When we meet each other, we often smile and shake hands. What’s more, when we agree with each other, we will nod our heads. However, when we have different opinions, we will shake our heads instead. Eye contact is important during conversations because it shows you are listening carefully. However, when talking with elders, you’d better not keep looking into their eyes for too long, as this may be seen as rude. Besides, to make a good impression on others, you should smile at others when talking with them.
I hope my advice will help you and you can have a good time in China.

第一节：阅读下列短文，然后根据其内容从A、B、C、D中选出最佳选项。
ABody language is a very important part of communication, but do you know the same gesture can mean different things in different countries
Nodding your head usually means “YES”. Especially in Japan, nodding and bowing are the ways that locals show their agreement and respect. But in Bulgaria (保加利亚) and Greece, nodding up and down means “NO.”
Strong eye contact is very common in Spain, Greece and Arab (阿拉伯的) countries. However, in Finland and Japan, too much eye contact is |considered rude. To avoid embarrassment, they often look at the other person’s neck or shoulders instead.
Tapping your nose means “secret” in England while it means “be careful” in Italy.
In many cultures, like Italy and the U. S., people use their arms freely when talking. However, Northern Europeans don’t like gesturing with their arms. They think it is too dramatic (戏剧化的). Similarly, in Japan, gesturing with broad arm movements is thought to be impolite.
Sitting cross-legged is common in North America and some European countries. But in Asia and the Middle East, sitting like this is not respectful.
The “thumbs up” sign is another interesting example. In the U. S., it usually means “good job” or “everything is okay”. But in some Middle-Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Iran, this gesture is very offensive. It’s like a very bad word.
Understanding these differences helps us avoid misunderstandings. When you travel or talk to someone from a different culture, pay attention to their body language. You can make a big difference in how well you communicate!

One bright morning, I was out for my usual run when I met an old lady. She was waving her phone at me and speaking in a language I couldn’t understand. It sounded like she was in a hurry to get somewhere. I quickly realized that she was lost and couldn’t speak any English.
She showed me some map screenshots on her phone, but I didn’t know how to read them. So, I quickly downloaded a translation app (翻译程序) and we used the app to communicate. She spoke into the microphone in her language and it translated her words into English for me to understand. I typed my answers and we were able to communicate!
I knew that she needed to get home, which was a long walk away. She didn’t want to use any transportation but I offered to walk her to a bus stop. And she could call her daughter for a ride there. As we walked, we laughed and joked, even though we couldn’t understand each other’s language. It was a pretty fun experience!
The old lady was very grateful for my help and kept thanking me. I had to keep reminding her that it was no trouble at all and I was happy to help. It was amazing how just a small act of kindness made such a big difference to her.
Finally, we reached the bus stop and she made her call. We said our goodbyes to each other. Even though we used technology to communicate, it was lucky that we could help each other out and not be stopped by our different languages.

Sign language is a kind of body language. Body language includes eye contact, walking postures, standing postures and gestures (手势). Body language can express all kinds of thoughts and feelings. Different cultures have different body language. Here are some common gestures in different cultures.
In China, a thumb-up sign is used to praise someone for being “good”, “great” and “smart”. In America, a thumb-up sign means “It’s good” or “It’s OK” while a thumb-down sign means the opposite (相反的). ______. For example, in Japan, that also means “man”, “your father” and “the highest”. In South Korea, it also means “the chief”, “one’s own father”, “minister” and “captain”. In Australia, the United States, Mexico and other countries, it means “the fate of prayer (祈祷的命运)”. As for French people and Indians, this gesture can be used when asking for a ride.
Point with your forefinger (食指). It is very impolite in Europe and America. British and American people make a circle with the thumb and forefinger and the other three fingers keep straight, which means “Excellent”.
Put out your forefinger. In the United States, it’s used to ask someone to wait; French people ask for an answer by using this gesture; in Myanmar, it means “please”; in Singapore, it shows something or someone is the most important.
Hold out your forefinger and middle finger and make the “V” word. “V” is the first letter of victory (胜利), so it means “victory” in Britain, France and other counties. But in Serbia, the gesture stands for “heroism” and in the Netherlands, it stands for “freedom”.
Besides, the “OK” sign means “money” in Japan while it means bad behavior in Latin America.

Last month, my classmate Lily went for a part-time job interview. She prepared well for the questions, but she didn’t care her body language.

四、任务型阅读
When we communicate with others, we often use body language.
Body language includes things like facial expressions, eye contact and posture (姿势). It actually developed as a form of communication before humans could speak or write. We can tell a lot about what a person is thinking or feeling just by looking at them.
In fact, body language is so common that you may not even realize that you are sending many messages to others every day without even using words.
For example, you might move your head from side to side to express the word “no”. You might give a “thumbs up” to show that you like or agree with something. Or, you might cross the thumb with the index finger (食指) to form the shape of a heart to represent love.
But now we are spending more time online. Our “digital (数字的) body language” is becoming increasingly important as we change how we communicate. For instance, instead of using voice messages, you can video chat with your friends to show them your face.
Another way to express your emotions digitally is through emojis (表情符号). “When we are communicating online, we are only revealing (显示) the content and leaving out vocal tones (音调) and facial expressions,” Moitree Banerjee, a lecturer of psychology (心理学) at the University of Chichester in England, told Digital Trends. That’s when “emojis can help greatly in communication.”
41. Can we tell person’s thought or feeling by his or her body language
42. What does body language include
43. How do we show our emotions online
44. Do you like to use “digital body language” in your daily life Why or Why not
