communicate nonverbally (不用言语地). before saying anything, people communicate nonverbally by making gestures. according to an investigation, only 30 to 35 percent of our communication is verbal. when people dont know the language, the most common way to communicate is through gestures. however, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.in the united states, for example, nodding your head up and down means “yes”. in some parts of greece and turkey, however, this motion can mean “no”. in southeast asia, nodding your head is a polite way of saying “ive heard you.”in ancient rome, when the emperor wanted to spare someones life, he would put his thumb up. today in the united states, when someone puts his/her thumb up, it means “everything is all right.” however, in sardinia and greece, the gesture is insulting and should not be used there.in the united states, raising your clasped (握紧的) hands above your head means “im the champion” or “im the winner”. it is the sign that prizefighters make when they win a fight. when a leading russian statesman (政治家) made this gesture after a white house meeting, americans misunderstood and thought he meant he was a winner. in russia, however, it is a sign of friendship.there are other nonverbal signals that people should be aware of when they go to another country, such as the distance to maintain between speakers. americans stand closer to each other than english people. english people dont like touching somebody or being touched. now in america, touch is important. for example, friends touch each other on the arm. they often put an arm around a friend when they say “hello” or “goodbye”篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了肢体语言作为非语言交际的重要性及其在不同国家代表的不同含义。1it is very important to know how to communicate nonverbally when you are in another country because _.amost people speak different languagesbmuch of our communication is nonverbal on many occasionscpeople usually make gestures before saying anythingdits easy to learn how to express oneself through gestures答案：b推理判断题。根据第一段第三、四句可知，语言交流所占比例很低，当人们不了解他国语言时，更多的是用身势语，故b项正确。2if a native in singapore nods his head up and down when you talk to him, his motion means _.ayes bno cthats all right dive heard you答案：d细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，d项正确，注意新加坡是东南亚的一个岛国。3when the russian leader put up his clasped hands after the meeting at the white house _.ahe meant russia was the winner bhe was insulting americache made a show of friendship to america dhe in fact meant nothing at all答案：c细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句可知他在表示友好，故c项正确。4the gesture of putting ones thumb up should not be used when you are travelling in _.achina bthe united states cgreece dsoutheast asia答案：c细节理解题。根据第三段内容尤其最后一句可知，这个动作在希腊和撒丁岛代表的含义是侮辱性的，因而不能使用，故c项正确。bwouldnt it be wonderful to travel to a foreign country without having to worry about the headache of communicating in a different language?in a recent wall street journal article, technology policy expert alec ross argued that, within a decade or so, well be able to communicate with one another via small earpieces with builtin microphones. thats because technological progress is extremely rapaid. its only a matter of time. indeed, some parents are so convinced that this technology is imminent that theyre wondering if their kids should even learn a second language.its true that an increase in the quantity and accuracy of the data loaded into computers will make them cleverer at translating “no es bueno dormir mucho” as “its not good to sleep too much.” replacing a word with its equivalent (同义词) in the target language is actually the “easy part” of a translators job. but even this seems to be a discouraging task for computers.its so difficult for computers because translation doesntor shouldntinvolve simply translating words, sentences or paragraphs. rather, its about translating meaning. and in order to infer meaning from a specific expression, humans have to interpret a mass of information at the same time.think about all the related clues that go into understanding an expression: volume, gesture, situation, and even your culture. all are likely to convey as much meaning as the words you use.therefore, we should be very skeptical of a machine that is unable to interpret the world around us. if people from different cultures can offend each other without realizing it, how can we expect a machine to do better? unless engineers actually find a way to breathe a soul into a computer, undoubtedly when it comes to conveying and interpreting meaning using a natural language, a machine will never fully take our place.篇章导读：本文是一篇议论文。作者通过语言交流在语调、情感、情境和文化方面的复杂性，论证了即使科技高速发展，机器翻译仍然无法取代人类自身在交流中所起的作用。5what does the underlined word “imminent” in paragraph 2 probably mean?aready. bapproaching. chelpful. dadvanced.答案：b词义猜测题。根据文章第二段第二句及第四句可知，由于科技发展迅猛，一些家长确信该项科技会很快到来，他们在想他们的孩子是否还应该学习一门第二语言。由此可推测，imminent的意思是“即将发生的；逼近的”，与approaching意义相近。故选b项。6why is it hard for computers to replace a word with its equivalent (同义词)?atheir data is not adequate enough. bthe real meaning of words can vary.ctheir accuracy needs big improvement. da soul hasnt been breathed in them.答案：b推理判断题。根据文章第四段第一、二句可知，翻译涉及的不仅仅是单词、句子，而是意思的转换，这对电脑来说太难了。故选b项。7what view does the author hold about translation?aproper translation can be tough for computers.bslight distinctions matter little in translation.csome machines will interpret our world properly.dcultures deserve more attention than words used.答案：a推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句及最后一段第二句可知，来自不同文化的人都有可能会在无意中冒犯对方，我们就别指望机器能做得更好了。故选a项。8what is the best title for the text?aan experts precise prediction bthe complexity of translationcwho will be a better translator? dwill language barrier actually fall?答案：d标题判断题。根据全文内容可知，作者在探讨语言交流障碍是否会因为科技的发展而消除。故选d项。.短文改错a young man calling brother lowcarbon became a hit on the internet in 2012. he suggests we should live a low carbon life, which means using
