前幾天，當我想要跟李華打招呼時，他卻轉過身背對著我，讓我很生氣。我猛沖進教

室，發表了一個聲明，我要以同樣的方式對待他。但是很快我就知道我誤會了他。

隨著期中考試的接近，為了不在全班同學面前丟臉，李華學習更加努力了。他總是對

未知的領域感到奇怪???。很可能是由于他陷入了深思，他才無視了我的。我以為聽到我的

聲明他會發火的，可是恰恰相反，他并沒有為自己辯護。

總的來說，誤會他是我的過錯。我向他道了歉，我們都感到心情放松了。現在，我們

彼此之間正合作學習，常常溝通學習英語的方法。我們會輕松地通過這次考試。

語篇解讀:本文為一篇說明文，敘述了不同的文化對眼神接觸、身體接觸等有不同的

理解。另外，不同的文化對人與人之間站立距離遠近的理解也有所不同。所以，要想真正

了解一種文化，肯定不要無視無聲語言所傳達的信息。

1.A.exerciseB.touch

C.educationD.strength

解析：選Bphysicaltouch意為"身體接觸"。第6空后的"physicalcontact"亦是提

TFo

2.A.schoolsB.villages

C.homelandsD.cultures

解析：選D第一段已提到不同文化(differentcultures)中人們對視線接觸、身體接觸

等有不同的理解。此處舉例說明，故此空填“文化”一詞。

3.A.uncertainB.angry

C.unfamiliarD.popular

解析：選C在拉美和亞洲文化中，小孩回避他人的視線是對其敬重的表現。而對此

不了解的老師會誤以為這是缺乏敬重。beunfamiliarwith意為“對...不熟識”。

4.A.disrespectB.idea

C.dangerD.disappointment

解析：選A此空前的however說明此句與前一句之間是轉折關系。既然前一句說是

“showrespect",此處應當是“asignofdisrespect"。

5.A.seeingB.staringat

C.lookingD.glancingat

解析：選Clooksb.intheeye意為"直視某人"。

6.A.influencesB.supports

C.observesD.reduces

解析：選A在文章首段中說“不同的文化對視線接觸、身體接觸等有不同的期盼”，

然后在其次段講視線接觸在不同文化中的不同理解，故此段那么是講physicalcontact在不

同文化中的影響，即“文化極大地影響到人們對身體接觸的態度〃。

7.A.neverB.often

C.seldomD.sometimes

解析：選B由于男性之間可以隨便地擁抱一下，故可推想女性伴侶之間手拉手是常

事。

8.A.pleasedB.fortable

C.madD.unfortable

解析：選D由該句的however可知，在亞洲文化中很自然的行為，在文化中卻令人

感到不舒適。

9.A.child'sB.baby's

C.adult'sD.man's

解析：選c在一些亞洲文化中，摸成人的頭是嚴格禁止的，但是成人和小孩之間摸

頭是可以接受的。

10.A.becauseB.although

C.unlessD.if

解析：選B前后之間是讓步關系，故用althougho

11.A.farB.closely

C.properlyD.close

解析：選D從本段的peoplestandverydose,distance,standingtooclose77等可知,

本段是談人與人之間站立時相隔的距離。

12.A.talkingB.eating

C.waitingD.listening

解析：選A此處“whentalking"與前一句的"whenthey'rehavingaconversation"意

思一樣。

13.A.moreB.less

C.noD.little

解析：選A來自中東和南美的人談話時站得很近，而歐洲人需要的心理距離要更大

一些。

14.A.hateB.prefer

C.wishD.dream

解析：選B該句中的while表示比照。非洲人需要的心理距離更遠。

15.A.changeB.expect

C.createD.accept

解析：選C雙方談話時，站得太近，超過可接受的心理距離，人就會感到極不舒適。

create”引起；造成“。

16.A.afraidB.ashamed

C.proudD.aware

解析：選D對談話時的心理距離要清晰，否那么會造成麻煩。beawareof意為“意

識到，知道”,符合語境。beafraidof"可怕";beashamedofa以為慚愧"；beproud

of"以……為豪"，均不符合語境。

17.A.suggestingB.considering

C.refusingD.accepting

解析：選D此空前的or表示選擇關系，說明此空的內容與前面的understanding意

思相近。意識不到人們溝通時默認的心理距離甚至會阻礙他人理解或接受你試圖傳達的意

思。

18.A.passB.explain

C.matchD.prepare

解析：選C非語言信息與語言信息要相配(match)、要全都。

19.A.talkB.behave

C.useD.look

解析：選B這些文化差異可通過觀看小孩和家人間的談話及舉止方式(behave)來了

解。

20.A.provideB.support

C.proveD.search

解析：選A這樣就可為你真正理解他們的非語言溝通供應(provide)線索。

車時用會降低人體反響速度，程度等同于血液內酒精含量0.08%。警方報告的交通事故
