第二部分　阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5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选项。
A
People who don’t feel confident in social situations often have trouble interacting with others.However,anyone can boost their confidence by ensuring their body language conveys a positive message.Practise these gestures and movements to project confidence.
Lean Forward
When you are in a conversation,leaning forward indicates interest and attention,while maintaining distance indicates that you are disinterested.Research suggests that non-verbal signals such as leaning forward and facing straight ahead help convey feelings of interest.
Slow Your Movements
Fast movements make you appear more anxious.Everything from hand gestures to your walking pace can make a difference; slow down and notice how you feel more confident when you take your time.
The key,however,is to maintain other signals like eye contact and posture while moving more slowly.Slow movements combined with poor eye contact and slouched (耷拉的) posture may cause people to see you less confident.
Keep Your Chin up
Do you look at the ground when you are walking or talking Instead,keeping your head up and facing your conversation partner conveys interest and confidence.It might feel unnatural initially,but you will eventually become used to this more confident pose.
Give a Firm Handshake
A weak handshake is a sign of a lack of confidence,so offer a firm hand when meeting others.
How long your handshake lasts can also influence how people perceive you.
Research has found that the length of a normal handshake is around three seconds or less.Handshakes lasting longer than three seconds are associated with less enjoyment of the interaction and more anxiety.
(　　)21.Which way of walking conveys confidence
A.Walk fast with head straight up.
B.Walk slowly with proper eye contact.
C.Move fast with a leaning posture.
D.Move slowly with maintained distance.
(　　)22.Which body language requires us to consider the length of time
A.Lean forward.
B.Slow your movements.
C.Keep your chin up.
D.Give a firm handshake.
(　　)23.Who is the passage intended for
A.Those who have a passion for body language.
B.Those who run projects about body language.
C.Those who lack confidence in communication.
D.Those who desire to boost their language skills.

B
Many dog owners believe their pets understand and respond not only to commands such as “sit” and “stay”,but also to words referring to their favourite objects.“Bring me your ball” will often result in exactly that.But science has had trouble determining whether dogs really activate (激活) a mental image in their minds when they hear the name of an object.
A study has found that beyond being able to respond to commands like “roll over”, dogs can learn to connect words with specific objects—a relationship to language called referential understanding that had been unproven in dogs until now.
The study involved 18 dogs and a procedure using electrodes (电极) attached to dogs’ heads to measure the brain activity and register brain waves.Dog owners participating in the study would play a voice recording in which they said the name of their dog’s toy—like “ball”—and then they would show the dog an object.The researchers measured the dogs’ brain activity when the object in the recording matched the object that was displayed,and also when it differed.
“We expected that if a dog really understands the meaning of the object’s word,it will expect to see that object.And if the owner shows a different one,there will be a so-called surprise reaction in the brain,” Boros said.
The study found a different brain pattern when the dogs were shown an object that matched the word,compared to when it didn’t—suggesting the animals formed a mental image of an object based on hearing the word for it.“The study supports theories of language evolution (进化) which actually say that referential understanding is not necessarily unique to humans,” added Magyari,an associate professor at the University of Stavanger in Norway.
While the study has received praise,some experts have expressed doubts about its findings.
Behavioural scientist and professor of psychology,Clive,said in a post that he believes that all the study shows is that dogs respond to stimuli (刺激)—but that they don’t actually understand the meaning of specific words.
(　　)24.What has puzzled scientists about dogs
A.How dogs activate mental images in mind.
B.How dogs respond to their favourite objects.
C.Whether dogs can truly understand commands.
D.Whether dogs can connect words with objects.
(　　)25.How did the researchers conduct the study of dogs
A.By observing their interactions with owners.
B.By training them to identify specific objects.
C.By monitoring their brain waves in different situations.
D.By comparing their reactions to different human voices.
(　　)26.According to the study,what caused the surprise reactions in the dog’s brain
A.A mismatch between what they want and what they are given.
B.A mismatch between what they hear and what they are shown.
C.A mismatch between what they are trained to do and what is tested.
D.A mismatch between what they are familiar with and what is displayed.
(　　)27.What is Clive’s attitude towards the study’s findings
A.Doubtful. B.Indifferent.
C.Objective. D.Supportive.
语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家是如何通过脑电波测量来研究狗是否能够理解人类语言中的具体词汇。
答案及剖析:
24.D　细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知,科学家们一直困惑的是,当狗听到某个物体的名字时,它们是否会在脑海中激活一个心理图像,也就是它们是否会把词汇和物体联系起来。故选D。
25.C　细节理解题。根据第三段第一句可知,研究人员通过在狗的头部附着电极来测量其大脑活动和脑电波。故选C。
26.B　细节理解题。根据第四段内容可知,狗的大脑中出现的“惊讶反应”是由听到的名字和展示的物体不匹配引起的。故选B。
27.A　推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句可知,Clive对研究结果持怀疑态度,他认为狗只是对刺激作出反应,而不是真正理解具体词汇的含义。故选A。
C
Body language is an essential part of communication and can be just as important as our spoken language exchanges.Body language can be conscious or 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 can lead to mistrust or 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 ourselves 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 for others to know about us.But body language can strengthen our verbal messages and solidify what we are telling others.Facing someone with eye contact or taking notes while someone is speaking can communicate genuine 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 lead to feeling more confident.
When speaking to others,practise controlling impulses to fidget and planting your feet confidently to increase self-esteem.
(　　)28.What would your body language tell if it can’t go with your speech
A.A probable disbelief.
B.True meaning behind words.
C.An unclear condition.
D.A dull speech.
(　　)29.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 assess a student’s understanding.
(　　)30.What does the author intend to tell in the last two paragraphs
A.Hand signals are essential ways to make ourselves understood.
B.Naturally occurring forms of body language makes 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.
(　　)31.What can be a suitable title for the passage
A.Knowing Your Friends with Body Language
B.Understanding Others by Body Language
C.Being Smart in Showing Your Body Language
D.Helping Communicate with Body Language
语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了肢体语言在我们生活中的作用。
答案及剖析:
28.A　细节理解题。根据第一段的最后一句可知,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或者困惑的信息。故选A。
29.B　推理判断题。根据第二段的第二句可推断,作者举例是为了说明有些肢体语言能展现我们真实的一面。故选B。
30.C　推理判断题。根据最后两段内容可推断,适当的肢体语言能帮助我们获得自信。故选C。
31.D　标题归纳题。通读全文可知,文章讲述了肢体语言在帮助我们沟通方面的作用。D项符合语境,适合作为文章标题。故选D。
D
A lot of people ask this question:“Why is body language so important ” Studies have shown that in the process of communication,the non-verbal expression has 65% to 93% more influence than the actual text.This means that “how to say” is more important than “what to say”.Of course,this does not mean that you don’t need to do preparation for your interviews,nor does it mean that you can take any shortcuts.On the contrary,this means that you have more things to pay attention to and prepare for.
In the real workplace,body language is much more important than you think.Without proper body language,you may find yourself trapped in a circle where you can’t integrate with the external environment,not to mention the difficulties in the absence of body language in the workplace.
“People can often make inferences from actions,and the results of these inferences directly affect lives,for example,who will be employed and who will be promoted,” academician,Amy Cuddy said in a TV talk show.She also said, “Our body language will also affect our perception(感知,看法) of ourselves.When you try to make more authoritative actions,your brain will inadvertently (不经意地) receive signals and actually create an idea that you are more authoritative,so that you have more confidence in yourself.”
Therefore,before interviews or important meetings,try not to lean on any object or have a hunched back.Instead,you should try to keep your body relaxed.You can even stand with a relatively authoritative posture —of course,you may need to do these things in the bathroom or places where no one could see you.
Body language plays a crucial role in your job interviews,careers,and everyday life.Paying attention to body language could make strong impacts on your behaviour,which could help you achieve better results.So,every time you are nervous or feel that you can’t do it,stretch your body,smile,and tell yourself, “Fake it till you become it!”
(　　)32.What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us
A.What we say in a conversation is not so important.
B.Practising body language is a shortcut to success.
C.We should attach great importance to body language.
D.Body language carries 93% of conversation messages.
(　　)33.According to Amy Cuddy,why is body language important for us
A.It decides whether we are promoted.
B.It influences people’s impression of us.
C.It makes us look more authoritative.
D.It helps us understand who we are.
(　　)34.What does the underlined word “hunched” in Paragraph 4 possibly mean
A.Broken down. B.Tied behind.
C.Straightened up. D.Bent forward.
(　　)35.Who might be the intended readers of the passage
A.New arrivals in the workplace.
B.Body language researchers.
C.Working adults to be promoted.
D.Viewers of a TV talk show.
语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了肢体语言在职场中的重要性,并就如何在职场中使用肢体语言给出了一些建议。
答案及剖析:
32.C　段落大意题。第一段主要阐述了肢体语言的重要性,即我们应该高度重视肢体语言。故选C。
33.B　推理判断题。根据第三段内容可知,Amy Cuddy认为人们可以经常通过行为来进行推理,并且这些推理结果会直接影响人们的生活。肢体语言对我们来说很重要,因为它会影响他人对我们的印象。故选B。
34.D　词义猜测题。根据语境和转折词Instead可知,这里指在面试或重要会议前,不要倚靠任何物体,也不要弓背。故选D。
35.A　推理判断题。文章探讨的是肢体语言在职场中的重要性,且部分内容直接以第二人称与读者交流,并给出一些建议。由此可推断,本文的意向读者是职场新人。故选A。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面的短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Good communication isn’t just about the words we say.Our body language,the non-verbal signals we send,is equally important.It can help us build trust,look confident,and connect better with others.36.　　　.
Keep an open stance (姿态).Stand or sit straight with your shoulders loose and legs a bit apart.37.　　　.Don’t cross your arms or legs,as this can make you seem defensive.Let your arms hang naturally to look friendly.Make eye contact about 60% to 70% of the time to show you’re interested.
Use hand gestures carefully.38.　　　.Use clear hand movements,like opening your hands upward,to make important points stand out.Don’t fidget (坐立不安),like touching your face or clothes,as it shows you’re nervous.As you talk,use your hands to emphasise what you’re saying,or draw people’s attention to a certain area.
39.　　　.Your face can show a lot of feelings.A real smile makes you seem warm and easy to talk to.Be careful of small expressions on your face.Don’t raise your eyebrows too much,as this can make you seem angry or doubtful.Nodding your head a bit when others are talking to you shows that you’re listening.
Try to understand other people’s body language.Notice signs of stress,such as crossed arms or tapping feet.A relaxed body and open hands usually mean someone is calm.40.　　　,like shifting restlessly in their seat or checking the time.Understanding these helps you talk to them better.
By practicing these,you can become much better at non-verbal communication.This will help you build better relationships and have more influence in your life.
A.This shows you’re confident
B.Learn to use facial expressions well
C.Cross your arms to show you are in control
D.Look for signs that someone is not interested
E.Nodding your head a lot can make you seem impatient
F.Hand movements can change how your message is received
G.Here are four simple ways to get better at non-verbal communication
语篇导读:本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了非语言沟通的重要性,并从四个方面给出了提升非语言沟通能力的方法。
答案及剖析:
36.G　上文提到了肢体语言很重要,由此可推知,设空处应引出关于非语言沟通的话题,G项可以起到承上启下的作用。故选G。
37.A　上下文说的是正确的姿势,由此可推知,设空处表达的应是正确的姿势所带来的结果,A项符合题意。故选A。
38.F　上文说的是要正确使用手部动作,由此可推知,设空处应是说手部动作会影响信息传达的效果,F项符合题意。故选F。
39.B　下文说的是恰当的面部表情会带来积极的效果,而不恰当的面部表情会让你看起来在生气或质疑,由此可推知,设空处说的是要正确地使用面部表情,B项符合题意。故选B。
40.D　上文提到了交叉双臂或跺脚,下文提到了在座位上不安地挪动或看时间,由此可推知,设空处应是说寻找他人不感兴趣的迹象,D项符合题意。故选D。

41.C　根据前文“She loved being... likes to do.”可知,Lydia在很多方面与其他女孩没有区别,再结合后文“that made Lydia self-conscious”和“Doesn’t he 　47　 that I am deaf ”可知,Lydia是失聪的,这一不同之处(difference)让她感到不自在。故选C。
42.B　根据后文“Doesn’t he 　47　 that I am deaf ”可知,Lydia是一个失聪的(deaf)女孩。故选B。
43.A　根据前文“She loved... any other girl likes to do.”和后文“shopping”可知,购物是她们的爱好(hobbies)之一。故选A。
44.D　根据前文可知,Lydia是听不到声音的,再根据“Judy,both caring and patient”可推知,体贴和耐心的Judy用手语(sign language)和Lydia交流。故选D。
45.A　根据前文可知,Lydia和Judy在用手语交流,所以男孩看的是Lydia快速移动的手(hands)。故选A。
46.B　根据前文“Lydia couldn’t help... move her 　45　 quickly.”和“Why must everyone stare at me ”可知,Lydia发现男孩在看她,为此很不高兴,所以她应是在试图避开(avoid)男孩的目光。故选B。
47.D　根据后文“There is no need to stare at me... strange or disabled.”可知,Lydia认为男孩没意识到(realise)她的特殊情况。故选D。
48.B　根据前文“He is probably thinking... who prejudge others!”可知,Lydia以为男孩认为她很奇怪或身体不便,但她不喜欢以貌取人的人,所以她很不高兴,变得有些心烦意乱(upset)。
故选B。
49.B　根据后文“the bus came to a pause,waking the boy from his deep thoughts”可知,公共汽车突然(Suddenly)停了下来。故选B。
50.C　根据前文“ready to get off”可知,男孩到了车站(stop),准备下车。故选C。
51.D　根据后文“Excuse me,but I couldn’t help... stare at you...”可知,男孩在和Lydia交谈,说明他没有匆忙下车,而是朝Lydia走了过去(headed to)。故选D。
52.A　根据前文“Lydia couldn’t help... her move her 　45　 quickly.”和后文“as she had just moments before”可知,男孩也像Lydia之前一样比划起手势,此处move是原词复现。故选A。
53.A　根据前文“Excuse me,but I couldn’t help...stare at you.”和后文“I made you uncomfortable”可知,男孩为自己盯着Lydia看,让她感到不舒服而道歉(sorry)。故选A。
54.C　根据前文“however,he 　51　 Lydia casually and started to 　52　 his hands as she had just moments before”可推知,男孩和Lydia一样,也是残障人士;再结合后文“to get to ‘talk’ to other passengers here”和“I thought maybe we could be friends.”可知,男孩一直期待(expect)有机会能与其他乘客用手语“交谈”。故选C。
55.D　根据前文“I feel self-conscious and different”和后文“I thought maybe we could be friends.”可推知,男孩看到和自己情况一样的Lydia时很激动(excited),所以想和她成为朋友。故选D。

Dear Ryan,
I’m writing to share one of my experiences of using body language.
Last week,during a school group project discussion,I was initially nervous.However,I made frequent eye contact,which made me seem engaged and confident.While presenting ideas,I used open-handed gestures,like spreading my hands wide and holding my fingers up to list my reasons.This not only clarified my points but also made me seem more energetic.
It’s amazing how powerful body language can be.It effectively bridges the gap between my words and others’ understanding,allowing me to better convey emotions and intentions.Most importantly,it gives me a sense of control in social interactions,putting me completely at ease.
Yours,
Li Hua

阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was six,I played my first soccer game.It was a real game,completing with coaches,
uniforms,and parents cheering from the sidelines.
Our two teams,Team One and Team Two,seemed pretty evenly matched,at least in the beginning.The first period ended without a single goal scored by either side.We were all still learning how to play the game properly,and our inexperience ran through this part.We stumbled over the ball,tripped over our own feet,and often completely missed our kicks.But what mattered most was that we were having fun,pure and simple.
The second quarter brought a significant change in the game.Our coach decided to pull out most of our starting players and put in the substitutes (替补),except for me—I was left guarding the goal.On the other side,Team Two’s coach decided to keep their best players on the field,which made things even more challenging for us.It seemed that winning suddenly became essential,even for us six-year-olds.
Team Two started to rule the game,and I found myself surrounded by their players whenever they came near our goal.I was determined to do my best,but it was tough.I couldn’t match the skills of three or four other really good players.Team Two began to score,one goal after another.I threw myself in front of the ball with all the energy I could gather,trying desperately to stop them but in vain.
The pressure was mounting,and I could feel my frustration building with every goal that slipped past me.I shouted,I ran,and I dived,but they kept scoring.I gave it everything I had,but it seemed useless.
My parents were there on the sidelines,and I could see them in the crowd.As the game progressed,I could see the change in my father’s expression.He had been urging me to try harder,yelling advice and encouragement from the sidelines,but now he seemed different.I could see the pain in his eyes,the pain he felt seeing me struggle.It made me want to cry.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Team Two scored their fourth goal,and it was half-time break.
Paragraph 2:
At that moment,what my father said meant the world to me.

One possible version:
Team Two scored their fourth goal,and it was half-time break.I retrieved the ball from the net and handed it to the referee,feeling utterly helpless. Overwhelmed with despair,I dropped to my knees,tears of a broken-hearted child rolling down my cheeks. It was at that moment that my father made his way onto the field. When he picked me up and held me tightly,the whole world seemed to disappear for a moment.He said in a gentle but firm voice,
“Dear,it doesn’t matter how many times they scored on you.I’m proud of you.I want you to go back out there and finish the game.Go on now!”
　　At that moment,what my father said meant the world to me. When I felt all alone and defeated,knowing that my dad stood by my side,loving and supporting me unconditionally, made all the difference in the world—I could tell it did. Without hesitation,I wiped away my tears and ran back onto the field,ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. And yes,they did score two more times,but this time,it was different.With my dad’s words echoing in my heart,I knew that I could keep going,no matter what.

A
People who don’t feel confident in social situations often have trouble interacting with others.However,anyone can boost their confidence by ensuring their body language conveys a positive message.Practise these gestures and movements to project confidence.
Lean Forward
When you are in a conversation,leaning forward indicates interest and attention,while maintaining distance indicates that you are disinterested.Research suggests that non-verbal signals such as leaning forward and facing straight ahead help convey feelings of interest.
Slow Your Movements
Fast movements make you appear more anxious.Everything from hand gestures to your walking pace can make a difference; slow down and notice how you feel more confident when you take your time.
The key,however,is to maintain other signals like eye contact and posture while moving more slowly.Slow movements combined with poor eye contact and slouched (耷拉的) posture may cause people to see you less confident.
Keep Your Chin up
Do you look at the ground when you are walking or talking Instead,keeping your head up and facing your conversation partner conveys interest and confidence.It might feel unnatural initially,but you will eventually become used to this more confident pose.
Give a Firm Handshake
A weak handshake is a sign of a lack of confidence,so offer a firm hand when meeting others.
How long your handshake lasts can also influence how people perceive you.
Research has found that the length of a normal handshake is around three seconds or less.Handshakes lasting longer than three seconds are associated with less enjoyment of the interaction and more anxiety.
(　　)21.Which way of walking conveys confidence
A.Walk fast with head straight up.
B.Walk slowly with proper eye contact.
C.Move fast with a leaning posture.
D.Move slowly with maintained distance.
(　　)22.Which body language requires us to consider the length of time
A.Lean forward.
B.Slow your movements.
C.Keep your chin up.
D.Give a firm handshake.
(　　)23.Who is the passage intended for
A.Those who have a passion for body language.
B.Those who run projects about body language.
C.Those who lack confidence in communication.
D.Those who desire to boost their language skills.
B
Many dog owners believe their pets understand and respond not only to commands such as “sit” and “stay”,but also to words referring to their favourite objects.“Bring me your ball” will often result in exactly that.But science has had trouble determining whether dogs really activate (激活) a mental image in their minds when they hear the name of an object.
A study has found that beyond being able to respond to commands like “roll over”, dogs can learn to connect words with specific objects—a relationship to language called referential understanding that had been unproven in dogs until now.
The study involved 18 dogs and a procedure using electrodes (电极) attached to dogs’ heads to measure the brain activity and register brain waves.Dog owners participating in the study would play a voice recording in which they said the name of their dog’s toy—like “ball”—and then they would show the dog an object.The researchers measured the dogs’ brain activity when the object in the recording matched the object that was displayed,and also when it differed.
“We expected that if a dog really understands the meaning of the object’s word,it will expect to see that object.And if the owner shows a different one,there will be a so-called surprise reaction in the brain,” Boros said.
The study found a different brain pattern when the dogs were shown an object that matched the word,compared to when it didn’t—suggesting the animals formed a mental image of an object based on hearing the word for it.“The study supports theories of language evolution (进化) which actually say that referential understanding is not necessarily unique to humans,” added Magyari,an associate professor at the University of Stavanger in Norway.
While the study has received praise,some experts have expressed doubts about its findings.
Behavioural scientist and professor of psychology,Clive,said in a post that he believes that all the study shows is that dogs respond to stimuli (刺激)—but that they don’t actually understand the meaning of specific words.
(　　)24.What has puzzled scientists about dogs
A.How dogs activate mental images in mind.
B.How dogs respond to their favourite objects.
C.Whether dogs can truly understand commands.
D.Whether dogs can connect words with objects.
(　　)25.How did the researchers conduct the study of dogs
A.By observing their interactions with owners.
B.By training them to identify specific objects.
C.By monitoring their brain waves in different situations.
D.By comparing their reactions to different human voices.
(　　)26.According to the study,what caused the surprise reactions in the dog’s brain
A.A mismatch between what they want and what they are given.
B.A mismatch between what they hear and what they are shown.
C.A mismatch between what they are trained to do and what is tested.
D.A mismatch between what they are familiar with and what is displayed.
(　　)27.What is Clive’s attitude towards the study’s findings
A.Doubtful. B.Indifferent.
C.Objective. D.Supportive.
C
Body language is an essential part of communication and can be just as important as our spoken language exchanges.Body language can be conscious or 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 can lead to mistrust or 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 ourselves 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 for others to know about us.But body language can strengthen our verbal messages and solidify what we are telling others.Facing someone with eye contact or taking notes while someone is speaking can communicate genuine 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 lead to feeling more confident.
When speaking to others,practise controlling impulses to fidget and planting your feet confidently to increase self-esteem.
(　　)28.What would your body language tell if it can’t go with your speech
A.A probable disbelief.
B.True meaning behind words.
C.An unclear condition.
D.A dull speech.
(　　)29.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 assess a student’s understanding.
(　　)30.What does the author intend to tell in the last two paragraphs
A.Hand signals are essential ways to make ourselves understood.
B.Naturally occurring forms of body language makes 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.
(　　)31.What can be a suitable title for the passage
A.Knowing Your Friends with Body Language
B.Understanding Others by Body Language
C.Being Smart in Showing Your Body Language
D.Helping Communicate with Body Language
D
A lot of people ask this question:“Why is body language so important ” Studies have shown that in the process of communication,the non-verbal expression has 65% to 93% more influence than the actual text.This means that “how to say” is more important than “what to say”.Of course,this does not mean that you don’t need to do preparation for your interviews,nor does it mean that you can take any shortcuts.On the contrary,this means that you have more things to pay attention to and prepare for.
In the real workplace,body language is much more important than you think.Without proper body language,you may find yourself trapped in a circle where you can’t integrate with the external environment,not to mention the difficulties in the absence of body language in the workplace.
“People can often make inferences from actions,and the results of these inferences directly affect lives,for example,who will be employed and who will be promoted,” academician,Amy Cuddy said in a TV talk show.She also said, “Our body language will also affect our perception(感知,看法) of ourselves.When you try to make more authoritative actions,your brain will inadvertently (不经意地) receive signals and actually create an idea that you are more authoritative,so that you have more confidence in yourself.”
Therefore,before interviews or important meetings,try not to lean on any object or have a hunched back.Instead,you should try to keep your body relaxed.You can even stand with a relatively authoritative posture —of course,you may need to do these things in the bathroom or places where no one could see you.
Body language plays a crucial role in your job interviews,careers,and everyday life.Paying attention to body language could make strong impacts on your behaviour,which could help you achieve better results.So,every time you are nervous or feel that you can’t do it,stretch your body,smile,and tell yourself, “Fake it till you become it!”
(　　)32.What does Paragraph 1 mainly tell us
A.What we say in a conversation is not so important.
B.Practising body language is a shortcut to success.
C.We should attach great importance to body language.
D.Body language carries 93% of conversation messages.
(　　)33.According to Amy Cuddy,why is body language important for us
A.It decides whether we are promoted.
B.It influences people’s impression of us.
C.It makes us look more authoritative.
D.It helps us understand who we are.
(　　)34.What does the underlined word “hunched” in Paragraph 4 possibly mean
A.Broken down. B.Tied behind.
C.Straightened up. D.Bent forward.
(　　)35.Who might be the intended readers of the passage
A.New arrivals in the workplace.
B.Body language researchers.
C.Working adults to be promoted.
D.Viewers of a TV talk show.

阅读下面的短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Good communication isn’t just about the words we say.Our body language,the non-verbal signals we send,is equally important.It can help us build trust,look confident,and connect better with others.36.　　　.
Keep an open stance (姿态).Stand or sit straight with your shoulders loose and legs a bit apart.37.　　　.Don’t cross your arms or legs,as this can make you seem defensive.Let your arms hang naturally to look friendly.Make eye contact about 60% to 70% of the time to show you’re interested.
Use hand gestures carefully.38.　　　.Use clear hand movements,like opening your hands upward,to make important points stand out.Don’t fidget (坐立不安),like touching your face or clothes,as it shows you’re nervous.As you talk,use your hands to emphasise what you’re saying,or draw people’s attention to a certain area.
39.　　　.Your face can show a lot of feelings.A real smile makes you seem warm and easy to talk to.Be careful of small expressions on your face.Don’t raise your eyebrows too much,as this can make you seem angry or doubtful.Nodding your head a bit when others are talking to you shows that you’re listening.
Try to understand other people’s body language.Notice signs of stress,such as crossed arms or tapping feet.A relaxed body and open hands usually mean someone is calm.40.　　　,like shifting restlessly in their seat or checking the time.Understanding these helps you talk to them better.
By practicing these,you can become much better at non-verbal communication.This will help you build better relationships and have more influence in your life.
A.This shows you’re confident
B.Learn to use facial expressions well
C.Cross your arms to show you are in control
D.Look for signs that someone is not interested
E.Nodding your head a lot can make you seem impatient
F.Hand movements can change how your message is received
G.Here are four simple ways to get better at non-verbal communication

第二节(满分25分)
阅读下面的材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段话,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was six,I played my first soccer game.It was a real game,completing with coaches,
uniforms,and parents cheering from the sidelines.
Our two teams,Team One and Team Two,seemed pretty evenly matched,at least in the beginning.The first period ended without a single goal scored by either side.We were all still learning how to play the game properly,and our inexperience ran through this part.We stumbled over the ball,tripped over our own feet,and often completely missed our kicks.But what mattered most was that we were having fun,pure and simple.
The second quarter brought a significant change in the game.Our coach decided to pull out most of our starting players and put in the substitutes (替补),except for me—I was left guarding the goal.On the other side,Team Two’s coach decided to keep their best players on the field,which made things even more challenging for us.It seemed that winning suddenly became essential,even for us six-year-olds.
Team Two started to rule the game,and I found myself surrounded by their players whenever they came near our goal.I was determined to do my best,but it was tough.I couldn’t match the skills of three or four other really good players.Team Two began to score,one goal after another.I threw myself in front of the ball with all the energy I could gather,trying desperately to stop them but in vain.
The pressure was mounting,and I could feel my frustration building with every goal that slipped past me.I shouted,I ran,and I dived,but they kept scoring.I gave it everything I had,but it seemed useless.
My parents were there on the sidelines,and I could see them in the crowd.As the game progressed,I could see the change in my father’s expression.He had been urging me to try harder,yelling advice and encouragement from the sidelines,but now he seemed different.I could see the pain in his eyes,the pain he felt seeing me struggle.It made me want to cry.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
Team Two scored their fourth goal,and it was half-time break.
Paragraph 2:
At that moment,what my father said meant the world to me.
