第一篇

Nonverbal（不用语言的）elements form a major part of any communication interchange. Som( people would say it's the most important part. According to one study,words convey only 7 percen of a person's message.Intonation and voice quality communicate 38 percent,and nonverbal cue, transmit a whopping 55 percent. That means people pick up more from nonverbal communicatior than from the words a person says.When studying about a foreign culture,then,it just makes sense to pay attention to how people use nonverbal cues.
Gestures comprise a major form of nonverbal communication. In contrast to sign language,usec by deaf people to communicate elaborate messages,gestures function as visual icons which represeni a single idea. But often these gestures are embarrassingly culture bound.For example,when the Maoris of New Zealand stick out their tongue at someone,it is a sign of respect. When American schoolchildren make the same gesture,it means just the opposite.Also,Americans often indicate "OK"with their thumb and forefinger touching to form a circle.The same gesture means"money" to the Japanese,"zero"to the French and a vulgarity to Brazilians.For that reason,people in a foreign culture must use gestures with caution.
Another cultural aspect of nonverbal communication is one that you might not think about: space.Every person perceives himself to have a sort of invisible shield surrounding his physical body.When someone comes too close,he feels uncomfortable.When he bumps into someone,he feels obligated to apologize.But the size of a person's"comfort zone"varies,depending on his cultural or ethnic origin.For example,in causal conversation,many Americans stand about four feet apart. In other words,they like to keep each other"at arm's length".People in Latin or Arab cultures,in contrast,stand very close to each other,and touch each other often.If someone from one of those cultures stands too close to an American while in conversation,the American may feel uncomfortable and back away.
选项 The main idea of the passage is________.
A:you should pay more attention to your gesture
B:nonverbal elements play an important role in communication interchange
C:the importance of body language
D:you should not pay attention to your pronunciation and intonation
答案B
解析推断题。根据第一句中出现nonverbal language这个词时所给的中文释义，以及接下来第三和第四句中讲到不同形式的交流在人与人沟通中所占比例可以知道本题选A。在第二段和第三段分别列举了两种非语言交流：gesture and space，进一步可以推断出本题答案为A“非语言交流是不涉及语言使用的交流”。
细节题。根据第二段倒数第二和第三句可知，倒数第二句中The same gesture即指的是form a circle by touching the thumb and forefinger，其中提到对于Brazilians来说这意味着vulgarity，因此C选项为本题答案，其他选项A、B和D都可以从文中找到依据。
推断题。根据第二段第一句可知非语言交流中非常重要的一种就是gesture。根据第三句：But often these gestures are embarrassingly culture bound．以及所列举的例子可知：在不同文化中，同样的gesture的含义有时是完全不同的。由此推断出我们身处异国文化时使用gesture一定要谨慎小心为好。因此本题选D。
词义推断题。文章第一段主要讲述nonverbal communication在交流中的重要性，结尾处水到渠成得出结论：既然非言语交流比言语交流还重要，那么自然我们要多加注意这些非言语交流中传达出的信息了。make sense“有道理，合理”。
主旨题。本文主要介绍了非言语交流的重要性以及常见的一些nonverbal cues如gesture和physical space。因此选B。
