15、n often be wrong about each other, so it is an amazing thing that we understand each other as well as we do!译文参照表达我们的情感身势语是最强有力的交流手段之一,甚至通常它比口头语言更有力量。世界各地的人要表达各种情感、愿望和态度,他们可能从来不会大声地说出来。“读懂”我们身边的人是有可能的,尽管他们并不想让我们捕捉到他们没有说出来的意思。当然,身势语也会被误读,但是很多手势和举动都是具有普遍性的。微笑当属最普遍使用的面部表情,它的作用是表示快乐和安人心境。然而它并不总是代表着真正的快乐
16、。世界上的微笑可能是假象,来掩盖像生气、恐惧或担忧的情绪。还有不愉快的微笑,比如说当某人丢脸时,他们用微笑来掩饰。但是,微笑一般是用来表达好的情感的。从婴儿时代开始,我们就用皱眉来表示不悦和生气。在世界大部分地区,皱眉和背对着某人表示生气。攥拳并晃动拳头几乎总是表示某人很生气并要威胁他人。世界上有很多种表示同意的方式,但是上下点头表示同意几乎在全世界范围内适用。大部分人也明白左右摇头是不同意或拒绝的意思。怎么表示我很厌烦呢?在多数情况下,把目光从人们身上移开或打呵欠,会使我看上去(对某物/人)不感兴趣。然而,如果我转向某人或某物并看着他(它)的话,几乎每种文化背景下的人都会认为我对此感兴趣。如
17、果我转动眼睛,把头扭向一边,很可能就是我不相信或者不喜欢我所听到的。在每种文化背景下,尊重他人是主观的,但是通常拥抱老板和老师可能会不妥当。几乎在每一种文化背景下,和级别比自己高的人站得太近通常是不好的。两手伸开,站得有一定距离表示我愿意聆听。人们之间有那么多的文化差异,而身势语有一些相似之处是很好的。我们经常会彼此误会,因此我们能做到相互理解是一件很令人惊奇的事情!1function n. 作用;(事物的)功能;职能;机能vi. 运转;起作用教材原句The most universal facial expression is,of course,the smileits function

50、tationsCfeelings Dmessages解析我们的肢体发出多于我们可以意识到的信息。身体发出的是message“信息”。sound“泛指自然界的一切声音”;invitation“邀请”;feeling“感情,感受”,均不符合句意。答案D3A.hope BreceiveCdiscover Dmean解析事实上,非言语交际占据了我们真正意思的大约50%。mean“意思是,本意是”。答案D4A.immediate BmisleadingCimportant Ddifficult解析根据下文论述可知,当涉及跨文化交流时,肢体语言尤为重要,故选important“重要的”。immediate
51、“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C5A.well BfarCmuch Dlong解析肢体语言几乎已经成为我们的组成部分,以致常常被忽视。此处实际上是对“so much a(n)名词”的用法的考查。四个选项中有此用法的只有much。答案C6A.For example BThusCHowever DIn short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A7A.trade BdistanceCconnections Dgreetings解析
52、不同的社会对于人们之间的距离有不同的认识。下文的北欧人和拉丁美洲人等的例子都与distance“距离”有关。答案B8A.eye BverbalCbodily Dtelephone解析北欧人通常不喜欢肢体的接触,故选bodily“身体的”,10空后面的touch each other是提示。答案C9A.strangers BrelativesCneighbours Denemies解析北欧人不喜欢和朋友有肢体上的接触,更不用说陌生人了。enemies虽然与friends相对,但此处是说不同国度文化的差异,并不是敌我的分歧。答案A10A.in other words Bon the other h
53、andCin a similar way Dby all means解析由上文可知,此处表示语意的转折,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B11A.trouble BconversationCsilence Dexperiment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
54、B12A.disturbing BhelpingCguiding Dfollowing解析在交谈中,北欧人不喜欢肢体接触,拉丁美洲人喜欢肢体接触,所以我们看到的很可能是一个拉丁美洲人跟随一个挪威人移动,故选following“跟随”。答案D13A.closer BfasterCin Daway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A14A.stepping forward Bgoing onCbacking away Dcoming out解析挪威人不喜欢肢体接触,会一直向后退,故选backing away(后退)。step forwar
55、d“前进”;go on“继续”;come out“出版,发芽”。答案C15A.weakness BcarelessnessCfriendliness Dcoldness解析挪威人的后退反过来会让拉丁美洲人觉得是冷漠。weakness“虚弱”;carelessness“粗心”;friendliness“友谊”;coldness“冷漠”。答案D16A.talk BtravelClaugh Dthink解析选项中的talk(交谈)与11空的conversation相呼应,且文章主要讲述交谈中的肢体语言。答案A17A.different BEuropeanCLatino Drich解析differen
56、t“不同的”;European“欧洲的”;Latino“拉丁美洲的”;rich“富裕的”。different cultures“不同的文化”。答案A18A.curiosity BexcitementCmisunderstanding Dnervousness解析当来自不同文化的人聚会时,很可能会出现误解,故选misunderstanding“误会,误解”。curiosity“好奇心”;excitement“兴奋”;nervousness“紧张”。答案C19A.chance BtimeCresult Dadvice解析此处是针对避免误解而提出建议,故选advice“建议”。 chance“机会”
57、;time“时间,次数,倍数”;result“结果”。答案D20A.noticed BtreatedCrespected Dpleased解析用你希望被别人对待你的方式去对待别人,B选项与前面的treat others相呼应,一个是主动形式,一个是被动形式(to be treated)。答案B.语法填空People who have spent time in other cultures often talk about reverse(反向的)culture shock.If you leave your country for a short tourist trip and then

61、y last as long as the adjustment to a new culture does.语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。作者在文中主要讲述了反向文化冲击这一现象。1解析考查代词。此处表示你如果离开你的国家进行短暂的观光旅游,然后回国,可能就会感受到这一点。此处的it指代上文提到的reverse(反向的)culture shock。答案it2解析考查非谓语动词。此处表示你刚刚适应了一种新的文化并开始享受新文化中的生活。come to do sth.为固定用法,表示“开始做某事”。答案to enjoy3解析考查冠词。a variety of表示“大量的”,其后接可数名词的复数形式
62、。答案a4解析考查副词。此处表示“然后,令人难过的是,到了(你)该离开的时候了”。空处在此修饰整个句子,因此用副词作状语。答案sadly5解析考查非谓语动词。该词位于介词about之后,故用动词ing作宾语。答案going6解析考查连词。分析句子结构可知,短语seeing.seen,eating.foods,reading.newspapers和hearing music是并列关系,故用连词and连接。答案and7解析考查定语从句的关系词。空处在此引导定语从句,修饰your home country,并在从句中作地点状语,因此用where引导定语从句。答案where8解析考查介词。in one
63、s eyes是固定短语,表示“依来看,在看来”。答案in9解析考查时态。你或许不喜欢某些事情或者看法。但是在我们看来,是你已经变了。此处应使用现在完成时强调结果。答案have changed10解析考查名词。此处表示回家的兴奋逐渐消失后。空处位于冠词the之后,介词of之前,由此判定此处用名词,excitement表示“兴奋,激动”。答案excitement.短文改错Dear Susan,Im delighted to knowing that youre coming to China,the country that you have always dreamed of visiting
