Question

As an English speaker, you must know a lot of English words. You can read, speak and understand. But there is another kind of language you have to know — the language of the body, a part of what is called non-verbal communication. All over the world, people “talk” with their eyes. When Chinese people meet, they usually shake their hands. What do American and British do?

Americans are more informal than the British. They like to be friendly. They use first name, they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves. When they sit down, they like to relax in their chairs and make themselves comfortable.

British people are more quiet. They take more time to make friends. They like to know you before they ask you home. ?

When British and American people meet someone for the first time, they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends, and men kiss women friends (on one cheek only). When a man meets a man friend, he just smiles, and says “Hello”. Men do not kiss each other. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.

【解析】

試題分析：本文簡要講述英國人和美國人分別在見面時(shí)體態(tài)語的異同。

1.But there is another kind of language you have to know — the language of the body, a part of what is called non-verbal communication.”可知，體態(tài)語是非語言的、用肢體動(dòng)作進(jìn)行表達(dá)的交流。故正確答案為D.

2.D細(xì)節(jié)信息題。根據(jù)文章第四句話“All over the world, people “talk” with their eyes.”（全世界，人們都用眼神進(jìn)行交流。）可知，世界各地的人們都使用體態(tài)語。故該題正確答案為D.

3.men kiss women friends (on one cheek only).”可知，英國和美國的男性在遇見他們的女性朋友時(shí)，會親吻她們的一面臉頰。故該題正確答案為C.

4.B語意推測題。由上文的語境“英國人更加地內(nèi)斂些”，要將猜測部分中“你”和“家”聯(lián)系起來，可推知該句句意應(yīng)為：在他們沒充分了解你之前，他們是不會“邀請你去他家做客的�！保�故該題正確答案為B.
