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.
4. According to the text, if you find a listener raising his eyebrows, he may ________.
A. try to show his anger B. want to give his own opinion
C. not understand what you say D. want to prove his confidence
5. The underlined word “enumerating” in Paragraph 6 may mean “________”.
A. considering B. judging
C. numbering D. discussing
6. What’s the author’s suggestion if you have a larger crowd to communicate with?
A. To walk at a slow pace. B. To shake hands with every person.
C. To look down at the floor. D. To fold your arms.
7. What is the most suitable title for the text?
A. The Power of Body Language B. The Attraction of Body Language
C. The Origin of Body Language D. The Understanding of Body Language
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了肢体语言的力量。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“If you have any comments, you can show them in negative but respectful ways like raising your eyebrows. (如果你有意见，你可以用否定但尊重的方式表达，比如扬起眉毛。)”可知，如果你发现一个听众扬起眉毛，他可能会想发表自己的意见。故选B项。
【5题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词句后半部分“it’s better to use each of your fingers as you mention each item to help your audience keep track (最好在提到每个项目时用每根手指来帮助你的观众跟上进度)”说明用一根手指说明提到的一个项目，这是在计数列举，从而推知划线词句“If you’re enumerating things (如果你在enumerating事情)”其中划线短语应为“计数列举”的意思。故选C项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“Pacing will help you create more ground if you have a larger crowd to communicate with. (如果你有很多人要和你交流，节奏可以帮助你创造更多的空间。)”可知，如果你有更多的人可以交流，作者建议控制节奏。故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中“You will certainly notice a whole new reaction from people if you use the power of body language. (如果你使用肢体语言的力量，你肯定会注意到人们的全新反应。)”可知，本文主要介绍了肢体语言的力量。A项符合主题，故选A项。
C
Weeds (野草) compete for soil nutrients, water, space, and sunlight with the crops farmers grow to help feed people. Now a third-generation weeding robot, armed with lasers (激光) and powered by AI, offers a labor-saving (节省劳力的) device — while also avoiding the need for chemical herbicides (除草剂) .
The Autonomous Weeder by Carbon Robotics can clear 100,000 weeds per hour, and clear 15-20 acres in a single day — numbers that require a person working an entire season to match.
Moving along a row of crops, a battery of twelve cameras scans the ground, identifying weeds through machine-learning and killing them with a CO2 laser. The robot's onboard supercomputer ensures high accuracy with its laser so as to avoid accidentally cutting crops.
“This is one of the most innovative and valuable technologies that I've seen as a farmer,” said James Johnson of Carzalia Farm in a statement, who has used Carbon Robotics' technology on his farm. “I expect the robots to go mainstream because of how effectively they address some of farming's most critical issues, including the overuse of chemicals, process efficiency, and labor. The sky's the limit.”
If a farmer wants to avoid using chemical herbicides, which have flooded nearly every corner of our food and water supply chains with a probable carcinogen (致癌物) , they must find enough unskilled workers to pull weeds manually — a difficult task in the already short market of agricultural labor.
Since it can solve both problems, it's no surprise that the 2021 model of the Autonomous Weeder has already sold out, even considering it is priced at hundreds of “thousands of dollars.”
To make the device more accessible, rent options are available from the company, as they have already made the 2022 models available for preorder.
The weeding method of the robot is organic and in line with sustainable farming practices. Cost-effective weed control is the biggest difficulty of organic farming, and agriculturalists looking to make the change finally have an option to help them get their vegetables out to people.
8. What can be learned about the third-generation weeding robot?
A. It is CO2-driven. B. It damages crops by accident.
C. It functions with the help of lasers. D. It is used to pour chemical herbicides.
9. What is James Johnson's attitude to the weeding robot?
A. Favorable. B. Curious. C. Doubtful. D. Critical.
10. Why is the 2021 model of the weeding robot so popular?
A. It can work in different fields. B. It can increase food production.
C. It is priced low and easy to operate. D. It is labor saving and protects human health.
11 What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. Organic vegetables enjoy a wide market.
B. The new weeding method is accessible to farmers.
C. The weeding robot helps realize organic farming.
D. Cost control is the biggest problem of organic farming.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了一种除草设备，它既可以节约人力，同时也可避免除草剂的使用。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Now a third-generation weeding robot, armed with lasers (激光) and powered by AI, offers a labor-saving (节省劳力的) device — while also avoiding the need for chemical herbicides (除草剂).”（现在，第三代除草机器人配备了激光器，由人工智能提供动力，提供了一种省力的设备——同时也避免了对化学除草剂的需求。）和第三段中的“Moving along a row of crops, a battery of twelve cameras scans the ground, identifying weeds through machine-learning and killing them with a CO2 laser”（沿着一排农作物移动，一组十二台摄像机扫描地面，通过机器学习识别杂草，然后用二氧化碳激光杀死它们。） 可知，第三代除草机器人借助激光发挥作用。选项C与文意相符，故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“This is one of the most innovative and valuable technologies that I've seen as a farmer”（这是我作为农民所见过的，最具创新性和价值的技术之一）及“I expect the robots to go mainstream”（我希望机器人能成为主流），可知 James Johnson 对这个除草机器人的评价很高，即他对该机器人持肯定态度。选项A 与文意相符，故选A项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“If a farmer wants to avoid using chemical herbicides, which have flooded... the already short market of agricultural labor.”（如果一个农民想要避免使用化学除草剂，那么他们就必须找到足够的无需特殊技能的工人手工除草——这在本已短缺的农业劳动力市场上，本身就是一项艰巨的任务。化学除草剂已经使我们的食物和水供应链的几乎每一个角落都充斥着可能的致癌物质。）和第六段首句中“Since it can solve both problems, it's no surprise that the 2021 model of the Autonomous Weeder has already sold out”（既然它可以同时解决这两个问题，那么2021款自动除草机 已经销售一空也就不足为奇了。）可知，如果不用除草剂（除草剂可能致癌），就需要雇佣大量的人来拔草，而劳动力紧缺就是个难题。使用这种除草机则能同时解决这两个问题。所以该除草机器人受欢迎是因为它既能节约人力成本又能保护人类的健康（让人免于食用可致癌的食物和水）。选项D与文意相符，故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，这种除草机器人的除草方法经过了有机认证，符合再生农业实践。同时，该机器解决了实现有机农业在除草方面成本高的问题，因此，该除草机器人可以帮助实现有机种植。选项C与文意相符，故选C项。
D
Researchers at CU Boulder have developed a wearable device that changes the human body into a biological battery. The device is stretchy(弹性的) enough that you can wear it like a ring, sport band or any other thing that touches your skin. It also taps into a person's natural heat-employing thermoelectric generators to change the body's internal temperature into electricity. "In the future, we want to be able to power your wearable electronics without having to include a battery," said Jianliang Xiao, an associate professor at CU Boulder.
The concept may sound like something out of The Matrix film series, in which a race of robots have enslaved humans to harvest their precious organic energy. Xiao and his colleagues aren't that ambitious: Their devices can generate about 1 volt (伏特) of energy for every square centimeter of skin space-less volt per area than what most existing batteries provide but still enough to power electronics like watches or fitness trackers.
Scientists have previously experimented with similar wearable devices, but Xiao's is stretchy, can heal itself when damaged and is fully recyclable-making it a cleaner alternative to traditional electronics. "Whenever you use a battery, you're depleting(消耗) that battery and will, eventually, need to replace it," Xiao said. "The nice thing about our device is that you can wear it, and it provides you with constant power."
Just pretend that you're out for a jog. As you exercise, your body heats up, and that heat will radiate out to the cool air around you. Xiao's device captures that flow of energy rather than let it go to waste. "The thermoelectric generators are in close contact with the human body, and they can use the heat that would normally be sent into the environment," Xiao said.
12. What does Xiao expect of his device at present?
A. It will be used for medical purposes.
B. It will be made smaller and wearable.
C. It will change natural power into electricity.
D. It will supply constant power to wearable devices.
13. Why does the author mention The Matrix series in the text?
A. To give an explanation. B. To make a comparison.
C. To introduce a topic. D. To analyze the cause.
14. What does the third paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The strengths of Xiao's device.
B. The convenience of using a battery.
C. The replacement of wearable devices.
D. The development of traditional electronics.
15. What do we know about Xiao's device from the text?
A. It operates with plenty of power.
B. It is designed for practical use.
C. It benefits people's health in a way.
D. It's based on traditional electronics.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。科罗拉多大学博尔德分校的科研团队近日研发出了一种新型可穿戴设备，这种装置可以将人体“转化成”生物电池，从而为人们随身佩戴的电器设备提供持久动力。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“In the future, we want to be able to power your wearable electronics without having to include a battery(未来，我们希望能够无需电池为可穿戴电子设备供电。)”可知，Xiao希望自己团队的这个发明将来能够给人们随身佩戴的各种设备提供不竭的动力，而不使用传统电池。故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Xiao and his colleagues aren’t that ambitious(Xiao和他的同事们没有那么雄心勃勃)”可知，作者提及电影《黑客帝国》系列是为了把这项新发明同该电影里机器人对生物能源的利用目的做对比。故选B。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段中的“heal itself when damaged(受损后可以自我修复)”; “fully recyclable(完全可回收)”及“provides you with constant power(给你源源不断的能量)”。可知，该段主要讲述Xiao团队的这个发明的优点。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后两段内容可知，Xiao团队的这个发明在人们快步走时就能发挥功能，提供的电力足可以媲美人们通常佩戴的手表电池，因此这是一项非常有实际利用价值的发明。故选B。

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者在瑞典旅行时，因肢体语言的差异遇到了一件让自己非常尴尬的事情。
【36题详解】
考查状语从句的省略。句意：在瑞典旅行时，我遇到了一件让我非常尴尬的事。从句主语与主句主语一致，且谓语是be动词，则主语+be一起省略。所以本句可以还原为While I was travelling(traveling) in the Sweden，故填travelling/ traveling。

考查定语从句。句意：我们都知道，肢体语言因文化而异。分析可知，____6____ we all know为非限制性定语从句，关系代词指代下文整个句子，在从句中作宾语，意为“正如”，故填As。
【42题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：同上。设空处为谓语，描述一般事实，应用一般现在时，主语body language，谓语应用第三人称单数，故填varies。
【43题详解】
考查代词。句意：你必须清楚地知道在某些场合你做某事是否合适。设空处代替后文的不定式，做形式主语，应用it，故填it。

【45题详解】

How is everything going with you? I am glad that you are very interested in Chinese history and geography. Let me introduce China to you now.
My motherland, China, whose capital is Beijing, is located in the east of Asia. It covers an area of 9600,000 square kilometers or so and has a population of about 1.4 billion consisting of 56 nationalities.
As a country with an ancient civilization, China has a brilliant history and rich culture of about 5,000 years.

For example, the Great Wall is one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
