选择性必修第一册 UNIT 4 BODY LANGUAGE
Ⅰ.阅读理解
If you want to succeed in life，you need to express the proper body language，with
or without having to say anything else.You will certainly notice a whole new reaction
from people if you use the power of body language.
Relax your shoulders，keep your hands at your sides(never inside your pockets) and
breathe slowly.Have a warm，welcoming facial expression as if you look forward to
communicating.Depending on the situation，you may smile when appropriate.
Face the other person or your audience and keep eye contact as much as possible
throughout the talk.Nodding and tilting(倾斜) your head closer can show that you are
listening.
Do not fold your arms ， look down at the floor or put your hands in your
pockets.These can show that you are uninterested.If you have any comments，you
can show them in negative but respectful ways like raising your eyebrows.
A lot of your body language can show how confident，interested，bored，angry or
nervous you are.Keeping your head up throughout the entire conversation can show
that you are very much into the conversation at hand.
You may feel free to use a few hand gestures to emphasize(强调) a point.If you’re
enumerating things，it’s better to use each of your fingers as you mention each item
to help your audience keep track.
Pacing will help you create more ground if you have a larger crowd to communicate
with.It will also show confidence on your part as you think of more things to say.
Be very careful when touching the other person since you are crossing the boundaries
of body language through actual contact.Remember that in body language，it is your
body that does the talking for you.

may________.A.try to show his anger

A simple gesture can be formed into a child’s memory so quickly that it will cause the
child to give a false answer to a question accompanied by that gesture.A new finding
suggests that parents，social workers，psychologists and lawyers should be careful
with their hands as well as their words.
Gestures can be as informative as speech，but hand gestures are so common that we
rarely notice we’re using them.
While the recall of both adults and children are easy to react to suggestion，the
memories of children are known to be particularly influenced，said lead researcher
Sara Broaders of Northwestern University.Kids are used to looking to adults to tell
events for them and can be misled even if not intentionally(故意地).
Previous research，for example，has shown that detail-loaded questions often cause
false answers; when asked，say “Did you drink juice at the picnic？” the child islikely to say “yes” even if no juice had been available.It is not that the child is
consciously lying，but rather the detail is quickly formed into his or her memory.
To avoid this problem，social workers have long been advised to ask children only
open-ended questions，such as“What did you have at the picnic？” But an open-
ended question paired with a gesture，briefly meaning a juice box，is treated like a
detailed question.That is，children become likely to answer falsely.
And it isn’t just a few kids: 77% of children gave at least one piece of false
information when a detail was suggested by an ordinary gesture.Gestures may also
become more popular when talking with non-fluent language users，such as little
kids，Broaders said as hand movements can impart meaning of unfamiliar words and
phrases.“It certainly seems reasonable that adults would gesture more with children.”
In general，Broaders advises parents and other adults to“Try to be aware of your
hands when questioning a child about an event.Otherwise，you might be getting
answers that don’t reflect what actually happened.”
5.What do we know about gestures according to the text?
A.They have a certain effect on children.
B.They are rarely used by people.
C.They have no function at all.
D.They are often used by social workers.
6.Why are kids easy to be misled by gestures according to Sara Broaders?
A.These gestures are very attractive.
B.Their memories are affected easily.
C.Children are easy to tell lies.
D.These gestures are used frequently.
7.What does the underlined word “impart” in paragraph 6 mean?
A.Separate. B.Tell apart.
C.Confuse. D.Pass on.
8.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Gestures—A Useful Way of Education
B.Gestures Can Mislead ChildrenC.Gestures Mean Adult’s Directions
D.Gestures Affect Children Little

2.C [词义猜测题。由第六段首句以及画线词后面的“...it’s better to use each of
your fingers as you mention each item to help your audience keep track”可知 C 项
正确。]
3.A [细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句可知，如果与你交流的人比较多，建议你慢慢移动步伐去跟不同的人交流。]

【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了成年人的手势对孩子的影响。
5.A [推理判断题。根据第一段第一句可知，手势对孩子有特定的影响。]
6.B [细节理解题。通读全文，并结合第三段第一句可知，孩子容易受手势影
响的原因是孩子的记忆容易被影响。]
7.D [词义猜测题。根据第六段画线词所在句的前半句“Gestures may also
become more popular when talking with non-fluent language users，such as little
kids...”可知，手势在语言沟通不顺畅时可以起到帮助作用；由后文可知，这也
是成年人在和孩子沟通时更喜欢用手势的原因。由此可推断，手势可以传递信
息。故画线词“impart”与“pass on”同义，表示“传递”。]
8.B [标题归纳题。本文主要讲述的是手势对孩子的影响，结合第一段最后一
句及第三段最后一句可知，B项(手势会误导孩子)适合作为本文标题。]

位。]

处意指带着头脑，集中注意力去认真倾听。]

上文“You were given two ears，but only one mouth，which is a gentle hint that we

困难很多。]

否定形式，independent “独立的”。故填independent。]2.is spent [考查时态语态和主谓一致。根据every day可知，句子用一般现在时，
主语time和动词spend之间是被动关系，应用一般现在时的被动语态，主语是
