Body Language

发布时间:2017-10-27 编辑:互联网 手机版

1.Although we may not realize it, when we talk with others we make ourselves understood not just by words.当我们和别人谈话时,我们并不仅仅靠语言来表达自己的意思 ,尽管我们可能意识不到这一点。

①although 尽管,虽然,引导让步状语从句。其中的it指代下文的整个意思。

例 Although they are poor, they are ready to help others.他们虽然穷,但却乐于助人。

②when we talk with others 是时间状语从句,主句是we make ourselves understood no t just by words.句中just作“仅仅,只是”解。not just by words=not only by words. 下面接着一句中有also by our expressions and body movements.这两句合起来相当于:We communicate with people around us not just/only by words, but also by expressions and body movements.我们不仅用言语,而且还用表情和身体的动作来同周围的人进行交 流。

2.In Arab countries, you eat using the fingers of your right hand; the left hand is not used at all.在阿拉伯国家,吃饭用右手的手指;根本不用左手。

①using the fingers of your right hand是-ing短语,在句中用作方式状语,修饰谓语动词eat。

例 Little children often count the numbers using their fingers.小孩子常用他们 的手指来数数字。

②at all 根本,完全,常用于否定句中,构成not…at all结构,意为“根本不,全然不”。

3.In parts of Asia you must not sit with your feet pointing at another person.在亚洲的某些地区,你不可能坐着把脚跷起对着别人。

with your feet pointing at 是with复合结构,它是由“with+名词+ing”组成,在句中作状语,表示伴随动作。

例 The young man lay on the grass, with his eyes looking at the sky.那个年轻人 躺在草地上,看着天空。

With a boy leading the way, we visited the temple.由一个男孩带路,我们参观了寺庙。

4.Using body language in a correct way will help communicate with people and make the stay in a foreign country easy and comfortable.正确地运用身势语有助于同人们进行交际,并使你在外国逗留时会感到轻松而愉快。

①using body language in a correct way 是动名词短语,在句中作主语。

②help后接不定式作宾语,这个不定式可以带to,也可以不带to。本句中communicate就是不带to的不定式,在句中作help的宾语。help还可接带不定式的复合结构,即help sb (to) do sth 帮助某人干某事。可带to也可不带to。

例 Reading helps (to) enlarge your vocabulary.阅读有助于扩大词汇量。

Let me help you to carry the box.我来帮你提箱子吧。

③“make+宾语+宾补”结构中,宾补可以是形容词、名词、过分去分词、不带to的不定式等等。上句中make的宾语是stay;宾语补足语是形容词easy and comfortable。介词短语in a foreign country 是定语,修饰the stay。

例 What he had done made his mother angry.他所做的事使他母亲很生气。

典型例题

I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It was an eccentric(怪僻的) farmer. I had never met him before although I had often heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make out was t hat someone called Milly had had a very bad accident. I hadn't the slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go.

It had been snowing heavily that day and I didn't know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, waiting for me. It seemed Milly had died.“She meant more to me than anyone … even m y own wife!”he said. I could see that he had been crying, I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal(丑闻).I was even more shocked when told me he had put her in the barn(厩).“I wouldn't leave her out in the cold!”he s aid.

Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could no t expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door. He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground.“She was such a good cow! I wouldn't le t anyone but a doctor touch her!”He said, and burst into tears again.

1.The underlined phrase make out in the first paragraph means ______________.

A. expect B. understand C. see clearly D. hear clearly

2.Before he arrived at the farmer's house, the writer expected to see Milly lying ______________.

A on the ground of a barn B. on the floor of a room

C. in bed in a room D. in bed in a barn

3.What do we know about Milly from the story?

A .She had met with an accident B. She had caused a scandal

C. she was seriously ill D. She was hidden somewhere

4.The farmer wished that the writer might ______________.

A. look into the matter B. bring Milly back to life

C. free him from a scandal D. keep the whole thing a secret

5.The person who told the story is probably a ______________.

A. farmer B. policeman

C. country doctor D. newspaper reporter

解析 1.这是一道词意辨析题,要求考生根据上下文所述的内容猜测划线短语的意思。一位怪僻的农夫在电话中说了一分钟的话却没能使作者明白他的意图,只是知道一个叫Milly的出了事故。由此可以猜出make out的意思是understand。故B为正确答案。

2.这是一道推理判断题,在文中难以找出正确答案。但从故事中提供几条信息来分析,该题的最佳答案应为C。因为在夜间就寝之时,而且在天气下雪的情况下农夫打电话报告Milly遇险,作者一定以为Milly是农夫的亲人,因此A、B、D均不能算是正确答案。

3.这是一道细节题,但迷惑性却很大。当年考生选D的不占少数,但选项中的somewhere同文章中提到的he had put her in the barn.一句还有一段距离,所以不能为最佳答案。从第一自然段中someone called Milly had had a very bad accident一句来判断A要比其它选 项更为恰当。故A应为最佳答案。

4.这是一道综合判断题,要求考生通过本篇故事的中心思想来推测这位农夫的心境。从他对作者所说的那席话可以看出,农夫该是多么希望作者救活Milly呀!B应为最佳答案。

5.这是一道推断题,要求考生推断本篇故事作者的职业。从“She was such a good cow!I wouldn't let anyone but a doctor touch her!”这两句话中可以断定,作者是位医生,故C为最佳答案。

【关于“Body Language”的常见问题】

常见问题1: Body Language

问题:

-Can I help you with the heavy box?

-I can manage it. But ___________.

A .thank you very much B. thanks a lot

C. thank you all the same D. many thanks for your kindness

解答:

解题提导:本题考查all the same的用法。all the same 意为“然而,仍然”。

答案为C

常见问题2: Body Language

问题:

Is ___________ necessary to complete the design before the expert com es?

A. that B. this

C. is D. he

解答:

解题提导:本题考查不定式的用法。to complete the design 是不定式作主语。当不定式作主语后置时,要用it作形式主语放在句首。

答案为C

常见问题3: Body Language

问题:

-Are the new rules working?

-Yes,___________ books are stolen.

A. Few B. More

C. Some D. None

解答:

解题提导:本题考查代词few的用法。根据答语“Yes”可知“新的规章制度正在起作用”,所以B、C不合适,D太绝对,可排除。故A正确,译为“几乎没有书被偷”

答案为A.

常见问题4: Body Language

问题:

He is a stranger here ,and has no sense of ______.

A.distance B.position C.time D.direction

解答:

导析:句意是他在这儿很陌生,没有方向感。distance表示距离,position 表示位置,time表示时间。对于一个陌生人来说,方向可以用感觉去体会,其他几个词与感觉无关。答案:D

常见问题5: Body Language

问题:

Tom,_________ on time tomorrow .

A.is sure to come B.will be sure to come

C.be sure to come D.to be sure to come

解答:

导析:有时一个逗号也决不可小看。如果这道题没有逗号,那就再简单不过了,A是正确答案。但有了逗号,按句子种类分析,由陈述句变成了祈使句。另外,be sure一般不用于将来时,即使本题没有逗号,选项B也不成立。答案:C

常见问题6: Body Language

问题:

She_______ to get there on time and caught the first bus .

A.tried B.managed C.liked D.wanted

解答:

导析:A、B、C、D四个选项均可接动词不定式,但意义各不相同。try to do(努力做)只强调努力,不知道结果;manage to do(设法做到了)强调努力并有成功的结果。本题中“她赶上了车”说明她的努力成功了。答案:B

常见问题7: Body Language

问题:

Tom kept quiet about the accident ______ lose his job .

A.so not as to B.so as not to

C.so as to not D.not so as to

解答:

导析:本题考查的是不定式在句中作状语其否定式的正确形式。一般情况下,非谓语动词的否定式均在非谓语动词前加not构成;so as to do sth.的否定形式应为so as not to do sth。答案:B

常见问题8: Body Language

问题:

--Alice, why didn't you come yesterday?

--____, but I had an unexpected visitor.

A.had B.would C.was going to D.did

解答:

导析:考生如果死记语法知识,局限于传统思维,就容易在will与is going to两项的过去时态上左右徘徊。would表示过去习惯性动作或过去将来,而was going to在该题设置的语境有其特殊的含意,表示过去的打算或意愿未实现。答案:B

常见问题9: Body Language

问题:

The speaker raised his voice but still couldn't make himself _____.

A.hear B.to hear C.hearing D.heard

解答:

导析:本题考查宾语补足语的用法。在动词make的后面,作宾补的用法较多。但在本题中只要能够掌握“使别人听到自己说话的声音”这个用法,则答案是很明显的。答案:D

常见问题10: Body Language

问题:

____house have you called at?

A. Who else B.Who's else C.Who else's D.Whose else

解答:

导析:else一般只能放在不定代词、疑问代词或疑问副词之后。当else 与疑问代词who连用时,它的所有格形式有两种:who else's和whose else。who else's常作定语,whose else常做表语。答案:C

常见问题11: Body Language

问题:

_____late in the morning, Bob turned off the alarm.

A.To sleep B.Sleeping

C.Sleep D.Having slept

解答:

导析:“sleep late”的含义为“sleep until late hours(睡到很晚的时间),get up late(起床迟,多睡会儿)”,该句句意是:“为了早上多睡会儿,鲍勃关掉了闹钟“,所以需选用不定式表示目的。答案:A

常见问题12: Body Language

问题:

I would love _______ to the party last night, but I had to work extra hours to finish a report.

A.to go B.to have gone

C.going D.having gone

解答:

导析:表示“一时性的欲念”,love/like后用动名词作宾语,因此可排除选项C、D;题中有last night修饰动词不定式,表过去动作,故排除选项A。答案:B

常见问题13: Body language

问题:

His French was very poor , so he couldn’t make himself_____ . But we made him _____ us . That is , he was made ______ all this .

  A. understand ; understand ; to understand

  B. to understand ; to understand ; understand

  C. understanding ; understanding ; understand

  D. understood ; understand ; to understand

解答:

答案选D。了解使役动词make的句型可知为什么选D:make + sb + do使别人干……,make + oneself + 过去分词“使别人明白自己”,sb be + made + to do某人被迫去干……

常见问题14: Body language

问题:

I would love to ______ the party last night but I had to work extra hours to finish a report .

A. to go B. to have gone C. going D. having gone

How do people's mood(情绪) affect their health?

Recently some American scientists made an experiment. They drew into test tubes people's breath under different moods, and then put the test tubes in a container filled with ice and water.

When breath turned into liquid, scientists found that when a person is not angry, his breath is transparent(透明的).When he is sad, white sediment(沉淀物) appears. When someone regrets over something, the breath looks cream coloured. And when he is angry, it is purple(紫色).After the liquid with purple sediment was injected( 注射)into a white rat, it died in several minutes.

After further study, scientists found out that if a person remains angry for ten minutes, he will use up much energy as he does after running meters. Anger leads to strong reaction and produces very poisonous secretion(分泌物).Obviously anger does great harm to people's health.

1.White sediment appears when you ______________.

A. are happy B. are angry C. are sad D. regret something

2.Which of the following is the best title?

A. Beautiful colours. B. Different moods
