(二)剪刀手的三种含义
剪刀手也是就V型手势，经常能在拍照，或者表达胜利的时候用到，但是可不能乱用啊，在美国文化中还有其他3中含义，我们一起来看看。

The palm-forward ＂V＂sign, formed by
raising and spreading the first two fingers, has
three different meanings in American culture.
手势＂V＂掌心向外，竖起食指和中指，并向两
边展开，这样就构成了一个V 形手势。

V形手势在美国
文化中有三个不同的含义。

The most popular meaning of the ＂V＂ sign was
invented in 1941 by a Belgian, Victor De Lavalaye. Wanting a symbol for resistance to the Nazi occupation, he came up with the single letter ＂V＂, which stood not only for his own first name, but also for English victory, Flemish virijheid, and French victoire. The symbolism of the sign spread very quickly, and Winston Churchill used it constantly in public appearance. Thus throughout the 1940s and 1950s, the gesture meant simply ＂victory＂.
V形手势最为普及的一个意思是在1941 年由比利时人维克托·德·拉维雷创造发明的。

他伸出双指，作出字母V的手势来表示他对纳粹占领比利时的反抗。

这个V 不仅代表他的名字，而且还象征victory ( 胜利）、佛兰芒语virijheid( 胜利）和法语victoire ( 胜利）这三个单词。

这一手势的象征意义迅速地传播开来, 温斯顿·邱吉尔在公众场合就曾多次使用。

因此，在20 世纪40 年代和50 年代，这个手势只是表示＂胜利＂的意思。

The second meaning came in the 1960s. Because of its military implication, American antiwar protestors used the sign sarcastically against the arms, so that it became known as the ＂peace sign＂. In the 1970s, the ＂V＂ sign, which had lost its military implication, was a common greeting among freedom lovers, acid heads,
political radicals, and ultimately, young people in general. So by about the middle of the 1970s, it ceased to give clue to the user's philosophy.
V 形手势的第二个意思出现在20世纪60年代。

由于这个手势含有军事方面的意思,美国反战者就讽刺性地用这个手势来反对战争，于是, 这个手势开始被称为＂和平的标志＂。

20世纪70年代，V 形手势失去了军事方面的含义，成为热爱自由的人、嗜用迷幻药的人、政治激进主义者们见面问候时常用的手势，并最终在广大年轻人流传开来。

也就是说，大约到20 世纪70 年代中期，这个手势就不再表示使用者的人生观了。

The third meaning is the oldest and least common. American children jokingly put ＂V＂, which resembles ＂horns＂, behind friends' heads in group snapshot. They are unknowingly reproducing something that southern Europeans would find highly offensive. This mischief, called ＂horns of the Devil＂, is a variant of the European ＂horns＂ gesture, which is obscene. Here the ＂V＂ sign means ＂Your wife has been cheating on you＂ or, when placed behind another's head, ＂His wife has been cheating on him.
V 形手势的第三个意思最为古老，也少为人用。

在集体照相的时候，美国孩子常开玩笑地在朋友的脑袋后面摆出手势V，样子就像动物的角一样。

他们无意中做出了一个被南欧人视为相当无礼的动作。

这种被称作＂魔鬼之角＂的恶作剧是欧洲＂角形＂手势的变体，这种手势被认为具有淫秽的意味。

在南欧，手势V 表示＂你的老婆对你不忠＂。

在别人脑袋后面做出这种手势，如同在说＂他的老婆对他不忠＂。

In the United States, the gesture is typically given with the palm facing the viewer. The British use both this version and an older, palm-backward version； the latter is obscene in American culture, and corresponds to the American ＂finger＂. Churchill got some surprised stares in 1941 when, evidently unaware of the vulgar usage, he gave the palm-backward ＂V＂ to British troops. In England today you could have to be a social hermit not to understand the distinction. Astonishingly, however, Margaret Thatcher repeated Churchill's error after her victory in the 1979 election.
在美国，人们通常将掌心向外，面向对方做出这个手势；而英国人有时将掌心对着别人，有时则像前人那样，掌心向内。

掌心向内的V 形手势在美国文化里被看成是下流动作，与美国人竖起中指一样具有淫秽的含义。

1941 年，邱吉尔掌心朝内，向英国军队摆出了V 形手势。

一些士兵吃惊地盯着他看，显然他对这个手势的下流含义还全然不知。

如今，在英国，
如果你还不知道掌心向内和向外的差别的话，你一定是个不问世事的隐士。

然而，令人惊讶的是，玛格丽特·撒切尔在赢得1979年的选举之后，又重蹈邱吉尔的覆辙，做了一个掌心向内的V 形手势。

说明文文章介绍沉默在不同文化背景下的内涵322 ★★★★☆8′（2016年新课标I阅读理解 D）The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say.
A silence in a conversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙)with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be
implied(暗示)is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily.
A nurse who understands the healing(治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
32. What does the author say about silence in conversations?
A. It implies anger.
B. It promotes friendship.
C. It is culture-specific.
D. It is content-based.
33. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?
A. The Chinese.
B. The French.
C. The Mexicans
D. The Russians.
34. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?
A. Let it continue as the patient pleases.
B. Break it while treating patients.
C. Evaluate its harm to patients.
D. Make use of its healing effects.
35. What may be the best title for the text?
A. Sound and Silence
B. What It Means to Be Silent
C. Silence to Native Americans
D. Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。

作者认为身势语比言辞更有效，而身势语却常常被人们忽视，在进行跨文化交流过程中，身势语尤为重要。

作者以拉丁美洲人和挪威人为例进行了阐述，最后作者指出：不管什么情况，最好的建议是：对待别人像你希望被对待的那样。

1.B 根据首句的内容可知身势语比话语表达更＂响亮＂。

可联想＂Actions speak louder
than words.＂。

2.D 结合前两句的内容可知，身势语能够传递出的＂信息＂比我们意识到的更多。

3.D 事实上，非言语交际占我们交际总量的50%。

what we really mean＂我们实际想说的
东西＂。

4.C 当我们试图进行跨文化交际的时候，身势语显得尤其＂重要＂。

5.C 身势语是我们身体的一部分，以至于它实际上经常被忽视。

此处much表示的是程度。

6.A 上一句提到忽视身势语会导致误解的发生，再结合本句的内容可知，此处是在举例。

7.B 后两句叙述的是北欧人和拉美国家的人对待身体接触的差异，由此可知，不同的社会
群体在人与人的＂距离＂问题上不尽相同。

8.C 根据下文可知，北欧人通常不太喜欢＂身体＂接触。

9.A 本句中提到北欧人甚至不喜欢与朋友进行身体接触，由此可知他们当然不会与＂陌生
人＂进行身体接触。

10.B 上一句提到北欧人不喜欢身体接触，而本句提到拉美国家的人身体接触很多，所以用
on the other hand，表示＂另一方面＂，与上文形成对比。

11.B 身势语在＂交谈＂中才能体现出来，其余选项都与交际的关系不密切。

12.D 根据＂People from Latin American countries， ___, touch each other quite
a lot.＂可知，在交谈中，拉丁美洲人看起来总是＂跟着＂挪威人满房间跑。

13.A 由上文内容可知，拉丁美洲人会不断地靠近，以示亲近。

14.C 北欧人不喜欢身体接触，由此可知挪威人很可能认为这种亲近行为很粗鲁并不断＂后
退＂。

15.D 拉丁美洲人不断靠近对方以示亲近，可对方不断后退躲避，由此可知，拉丁美洲人会将这种行
为看做＂冷淡＂。

16.A 上文叙述的是身势语，身势语属于＂交谈＂的范畴。

显然，当人们交谈的时候，很多
东西在进行。

只有很少一部分是用语言来完成的。

17.A 此处与第一段中的＂And body language is particularly ___ when we attempt to
communicate across cultures.＂相呼应，表示拥有＂不同＂文化背景的人。

18.C 根据上文提到的北欧人和拉美人相处的例子可知，来自不同文化的人聚集在一起时很
可能产生＂误
解＂。

另外，上文中的＂And misunderstandings occur as a result of it.＂也是线索提示。

19.D 不管情况如何，最好的建议是遵从这条黄金法则。

20.B 你希望别人怎样待你，你就应该怎样待别人。

I still remember how nervous I was on my first day in the new school three years ago, when I found it difficult to follow my teacher in the first English class. The teacher spoke English throughout the class, which was totally different from the lessons I had taken before.
In the morning class the next day, the English teacher came to me while I was reading the text aloud as other students. After listening to me for a while, she gave me a big smile and said she liked my voice very much. The smile shone on the whole day and the following days. A week later, I volunteered to take charge of English study in my class.
Thanks to the comforting smile in my first morning class, I began to be confident.

Students perform better when their instructors use hand gestures—a simple teaching tool that could generate benefits in higher-level math such as algebra(代数).
A study published in Child Development，the top-ranked educational psychology journal，provides some of the strongest evidence yet that gesturing may have a unique effect on learning. Teachers in the United States tend to use gestures less than teachers in other countries.
＂Gesturing can be a very beneficial tool that is completely free and easily employed in classrooms，＂ said Kimberly Fenn，study co-author and assistant professor of psychology at Michigan State University.＂And I think it can have long-lasting effects.＂
Fenn and Ryan Duffy of MSU and Susan Cook of the University of Iowa conducted
an experiment with 184 second-，third- and fourth-graders in Michigan elementary classrooms.
Half of the students were shown videos of an instructor teaching math problems using only speech. The others were shown videos of the instructor teaching the same problems using both speech and gestures. In the speech－only videos，the instructor simply explains the problem. In the other videos，the instructor uses two hand gestures while speaking，using different hands to refer to the two sides of the equation. Students who learned from the gesture videos performed better on a test given immediately afterward than those who learned from the speech－only video.
Another test was given 24 hours later，and the gesture students actually showed improvement in their performance while the speech－only students did not.
While previous research has shown the benefits of gestures in a one-on-one tutoring-style environment，the new study is the first to test the role of gestures in equivalence learning in a regular classroom.
The study also is the first to show that gestures can help students transfer learning to new contexts—such as transferring the knowledge learned in an addition-based equation to a multiplication-based equation.
Fenn noted that U.S. students lag behind those in many other Western countries in math and have a particularly hard time mastering equivalence problems in early grades.＂So if we can help them grasp this foundational knowledge earlier，＂ she said，＂it will help them as they learn algebra and higher levels of mathematics.＂
1.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. How to Learn Higher－level Math Well
B. Simple Teaching Tools Used in Math Learning
C. Teachers' Gestures Boost Math Learning
D. Why U.S. Students Can't Learn Math Well
2.Researchers explain their opinion in the educational psychology journal by ________.
A. setting down general rules
B. using a great many examples
C. making questionnaire survey
D. presenting research findings
3.What do you know about the experiment conducted by Kimberly Fenn?
A. The experiment was done with 184 students of the same age in elementary classrooms.
B. The students were divided into two groups and got different teaching methods.
C. Researchers drew the conclusion based on the only one test they did in the experiment.
D. Researchers had not done any research on the benefits of gestures before this one.

There is no clear advice on how to use your body language. What you do might be interpreted(诠释) in several ways, depending on the surroundings and who you are talking to. You'll probably want to use body language differently when talking to your boss compared to when you talk to a girl you're interested in. The following are some effective ways to improve your body language.
First, to change your body language, you must be aware of your body language. Notice how you sit, how you stand, how you use your hands and legs, and what you do while talking to someone.
You might want to practice in front of a mirror. It might seem silly but no one is watching you. This will give you good feedback(反馈) on how you look to other people and also give you an opportunity to practice a bit before going out into the world.
Another tip is to close your eyes and visualize how you would stand and sit to feel confident, open and relaxed or whatever you want to communicate. See yourself move like that version of yourself. Then try it out.
You might also want to observe friends, role models, movie stars or other people who you think have good body language. Observe what they do and you don't need to take bits and pieces you like from them. Try using what you can learn from them.
Some of these tips might seem like you are faking(假装)something. But fake it
till you make it a useful way to learn something new. And remember, feelings work backwards too. If you smile a bit more you will feel happier. If you sit up straight you will feel more energetic and in control. If you slow down your movements you'll feel calmer.
1.What's the purpose of the passage?
A. To show the importance of body language.
B. To compare spoken language with body language.
C. To give some tips on improving body language.
D. To introduce different kinds of body language.
2.We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. body language is not as important as spoken language
B. movie stars and models always have good body language
C. using more body language can make us more popular
D. different body languages should be used in different situations
3.What does the author think about practicing body language in front of a mirror?
A. Useless.
B. Helpful.
C. Powerful.
D. Foolish. II.完形填空
Body language is a part of non-verbal(非言语的) language. It includes things like 1 , facial expressions, and even small things that are 2 a brief shrug of the shoulder or nod of the head. We frequently communicate both bodily and verbally and an estimated 70% of what we communicate may be non-verbal. Non-verbal language is an even bigger type, which includes things like 3 of voice.
There are many ways to learn to 4 body language but it must be understood that these are frequently specific to a 5 . For instance, in the US we wave goodbye with the palm facing the person we’re waving to, and the fingers may open and 6 . In other cultures, waving goodbye may 7 with the hand palm up to the sky, and the fingers opening and closing. To people in the US, this might look like a gesture asking someone to approach 8 a wave goodbye.
9 , since most of us live in one area where body language may be 10 among people, it’s important to know that you can 11 a lot by how you gesture, what you do with your arms when you’re sitting or standing and talking to someone 12 , and even what your posture may 13 . A person in the US who sits with arms 14 over the chest, and with legs crossed, may be sending an 15 message that they’re really not open to talking. Some people are 16 at reading these kinds of messages, and we do have to be 17 what we may be conveying, especially when we’re being 18 , particularly in things like dating or job interviews.
Eye 19 is another key element of non-verbal contact in much of the Western world. Looking someone in the eye enough but not too 20 may indicate that you’re direct and frank.

III.语法填空
Words and sentences are very important, but we communicate with more 1 just spoken and 2 (write) words. Indeed, body positions are part of 3 we call ＂body language＂ . Examples of 4 (conscious) body language are seen very often, yet there is also ＂ learned＂ body language, which 5 (vary) from culture to culture. Like other animals, we are 6 guard until we know it is safe to relax. So every culture has developed a formal way to greet strangers. Europeans and
Americans shake hands with the right hand. It is a gesture which is saying ＂
I trust you. Look, I’m not carrying a 7 (threaten) weapon. In Asian countries, greetings don’t involve 8 (touch) the other person.
Traditionally in China, we put the right hand over the left and bow 9 (slight). Hindus join their hands and bow their head to show respect 10 others. Body language is fascinating for anyone to study. Look at your friends and family and see if you are a mind reader!
