解析

语篇解读 本文是说明文,介绍了肢体语言的作用,以及在不同文化里肢体语言的不同含义。通过学习本文我们可以了解文化的趣味性。
小题1:解析: 由首句“肢体语言是所有语言中沉默、秘密而又最有威力的语言!”可知,本句应表示“肢体语言比语言更有说服力”,所以本题选择louder。
答案: B
小题2:解析: 我们的肢体发出多于我们可以想象到的信息。身体发出的是message“信息”,而不是sound。sound泛指自然界一切声音;invitation邀请;feeling感情,感受。
答案: D
小题3:解析: 事实上,非言语交际占据了我们想表达的大约50%。mean意思是,意味着。
答案: D
小题4:解析: 根据下文论述,当涉及跨文化交流时,肢体语言尤为重要,故选important重要的。immediate立刻的,表示动作的直接性和迅速性;misleading误导的;difficult困难的。
答案: C

答案: C
小题6:解析: 下文是举例,故选For example“例如”。thus因此;however然而;in short简而言之。
答案: A
小题7:解析: 不同的社会对人们之间的距离有不同认识。空格后面的北欧人和拉丁美洲人等的例子都与distance“距离”有关。

答案: A
小题10:解析: 由上文可知,此处表示语意上的转折,故选on the other hand“另一方面”,本句讲到拉丁美洲人喜欢肢体接触。in other words换句话说;in a similar way用相似的方法;by all means当然可以。
答案: B
小题11:解析: trouble麻烦;conversation谈话,交谈;silence寂静,沉默;experiment实验。in conversation在交谈中,在会话中。
答案: B

答案: D
小题13:解析: 拉丁美洲人喜欢肢体接触,为了表示友好,会离挪威人越来越近,故选closer(更近地)。
答案: A

试题【Body language is the quiet,secret and most powerful language of all!It speaks   】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
After living in the United States for quite a long time, I do not think about the cultural differences any more. Last month, my parents came to visit me. Their observations (观察) on the American lifestyle reminded me that cultural differences between living in China and America are actually everywhere.
When my parents came to America, they praised my house. Everyone had his/her own bedroom; there was a front yard, a backyard and a garage; there were many bathrooms – all convenient and comfortable. However, they were not used to the glass doors at the first floor. My mom, from southern China, was worried that someone would break open the glass doors. Though I said that nobody would do that, she was still worried about it.
When I brought them to eat in fast food restaurants, whether it was in McDonald’s or KFC, they saw that refilling drinks was for free. This concept (观念) of free refill was so new to them.
A Chinese friend told me a story. He and his American girlfriend ate at a restaurant. His girlfriend wanted to drink English tea. He was curious, so he tried some and found that it didn’t taste bad with milk and sugar in it. Adding more water to tea is free of course, so he drank more cups. His girlfriend found it embarrassing and explained to him that what he was doing was not exactly fair. If he wanted to drink more tea, he should buy another cup. My friend thought that Americans could take advantage of the free refills, but only a few of them did that. After staying in America for some time, he changed his habit.
小题1:We can infer that the writer _____.
A.doesn’t like American culture
B.has got used to her life in America
C.received an American education as a child
D.thinks American and Chinese cultures are the same
小题2:What made the writer’s parents worried?
A.That someone would break into the house.
B.That someone would be hurt by the glass doors.
C.That they wouldn’t have a bedroom of their own.
D.That they wouldn’t live comfortably in the house.
小题3:When eating at McDonald’s for the first time in America, the writer’s parents were probably surprised that _____.
A.there were so many choices
B.the prices for food were so low
C.they could refill drinks for free
D.they could get extra food for free
小题4:The American girl mentioned in the last paragraph thought that _____.
A.Americans like taking advantage of other people
B.her boyfriend wouldn’t like traditional English tea
C.drinking too much English tea harmed people’s health
D.her boyfriend shouldn’t take advantage of the free refills

The nose is used in many popular expressions. Some people are able to lead other people by the nose. For example, if a wife leads her husband by the nose, she makes him do whatever she wants him to do. Some people are said to be hard-nosed. They will not change their opinions or positions on anything.
It is always helpful when people keep their nose out of other people’s business. They do not interfere (干涉). The opposite of this is someone who noses around all the time. Such people are interested in other people’s private matters. They’re considered nosy. Someone who keeps his nose to the grindstone (磨石) works very hard. This can help a worker keep his nose clean or stay out of trouble.
One unusual expression is that is no skin off my nose. This means that a situation doesn’t affect or concern me. We also say that sometimes a person cuts off his nose to spite his face. That is, he makes a situation bad for himself by doing something foolish because he is angry.
More problems can develop if a person looks down his nose at someone or something. The person acts as if something is unimportant or worthless. This person might also turn up his nose at something that he considers not good enough. This person thinks he is better than everyone else. He has his nose in the air.
In school, some students thumb their nose at their teacher. They refuse to obey orders or do any work. Maybe the students do not know the correct answers. My mother always told me when I was a student, “If you study hard, the answers should be right under your nose or easily seen.”
小题1:If we say a wife leads her husband by the nose, we probably mean she _____.
A.loves her husband very much
B.controls her husband’s actions
C.gets on well with her husband
D.does whatever her husband wants her to do
小题2:Which of the following expressions could be used to tell someone to stay away from your private affairs?
A.Don’t keep your nose to the grindstone.
B.Keep your nose out of my business.
C.Please keep your nose clean.
D.You are really hard-nosed.
小题3:We can use the expression “has his/her nose in the air” to describe someone _____.
A.who is too proud of himself/herself
B.who is very angry about something
C.who often makes a situation bad
D.who doesn’t care about anything
小题4:If a student thumbs his/her nose at his/her teacher, the teacher would most probably feel _____.
A.happyB.excitedC.angryD.relaxed

Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year, or manured(施肥)a field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so much so that on all the highest pillars (纪念柱) in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized.
  Animals fight; so do savages (野蛮人); hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently -this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done -is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels.            Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some way of settling their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side, and then saying that that side which has killed most has won. And it not only has won, but, because it has won, has been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means saying that might is right.
  That is what the story of mankind has on the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history, in which millions of people were killed or disabled. And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets -while, that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life - nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages.
小题1:In the opening sentence the author indicates that ________.
A.conquerors, generals and soldiers should not be mentioned in history books.
B.history books focus more on those who helped civilization forward.
C.those who truly helped civilization forward is rarely mentioned in history books.
D.most history books were written by conquerors, generals and soldiers.
小题2:In the author’s opinion, the countries that ruled over a large number of other countries are           
A.certainly both the greatest and the most civilized
B.neither the most influential nor the most civilized.
C.possibly the most civilized but not the most powerful.
D.likely the greatest in some sense but not the most civilized.
小题3: The meaning of “it means saying that might is right.”(The last sentence of Paragraph 2) is that ________.
A.in a war only those who are powerful will win.
B.those who are right should fight against those who are wrong.
C.only those who are powerful have the right to go to war.
D.those who fight believe that the winner is right and the loser wrong.
小题4: In the third paragraph, what the author wants to convey to us is that ________.
A.we have fought fewer wars but suffered heavier casualties.
B.modern time is not so civilized compared with the past.
C.our age is not much better than those of the past.
D.World War I and World War II are different from previous wars.
小题5: According to the passage, who helped civilization forward?
A. The pioneers in science and technology.

C. Those setting disputes by force.
The experts in military matters
小题6: This passage is most likely taken from an article entitled ________.

It is one of the most annoying words in the English language and it seems there is no escaping it.The word “huh?” is in worldwide use, a study found.
Researchers discovered that languages spoken in countries from Ghana and Laos to Iceland and Italy all include ‘‘huh?”, or something that sounds very like it. They said that while the study may sound silly,the word is an absolutely necessary part of speech.Without it and similar words,it would be impossible to show that we haven’t heard or understood what had been said and this would lead to constant misunderstandings.
But while other words used in the same context,such as ‘‘sorry"’ or‘ ‘what”,vary widely across languages,“huh?” remains unchanged.
The Dutch researchers carefully studied ten languages from around the world,including Siwu, which is spoken in Ghana, and an Australian Aboriginal language,as well as Italian,Spanish,Dutch and Mandarin Chinese.
They analyzed tapes of recorded conversations for words that sounded like ‘‘huh?” and were used to request that whatever had just been said be repeated.All contained a version of ‘‘huh?”.The word was also found in another 21 languages.While there were subtle differences in each country, all sounded basically the same.
This is surprising because normally unrelated languages will use very different words to describe the same thing.For instance,the Japanese for “dog’’ is ‘‘inu”,while the French is‘ ‘chien”.It is thought that languages around the world have developed their own version of “huh?’’ because the sound is quick and simple to form,as well as being easily understood.
The researchers,said that it might seem unimportant to carry out scientific research into a word like “huh?"’ but in fact this little word is an essential tool in human communication.They also have an answer for those who claim that ‘‘huh?’’ isn’t a word.They say that it qualifies because of the small differences in its pronunciation in different languages.It also can be considered a word because it’s something we learn to say,rather than a grunt or cry that we are born knowing how to make.
小题1:According to researchers,the word “huh?” is very important in speech because of       .
A.its important function in communication
B.its simple and easy sound and spelling
C.its popularity in every language
D.its stable meaning in language development
小题2:If you hear someone you’re speaking to say “huh?”, what should you do?
A.You should apologize to her for speaking in a low voice.
B.You should invite her to share her different views politely.
C.You should try to say what you’ve just said again in a clearer way.
D.You should ask her to repeat what she says before that.
小题3:The main method used in the research of “huh?” was_____________.
A.comparing different words with the same meaning in different languages
B.interviewing language experts in universities
C.talking with people from ten different countries
D.analyzing the recorded conversations in different languages
小题4: According to researchers,‘‘huh?” should be considered a word rather than a sound because  __________ .
A.it is pronounced quite differently around the world
B.it is something humans learn to say
C.there is a clear and consistent spelling of the word
D.it is listed in most dictionaries
