【正确答案】 A

【答案解析】[听力原文] 32-35 Whether the eyes are "the windows of the soul" is true or not, it is a fact that they are especially important in interpersonal communication. In a conversation, eye contact is important because more or less eye contact can create communication barriers (32). In relationships, eye contact serves to show intimacy, attention, and influence. Eye contact can mean different things in different cultures. In some Spanish-speaking countries, children show respect to an older person by not looking directly into the person's eyes during a conversation (33). In other countries, looking into a person's eye is expected. For example, if you don't do it in the United States, people may think that you are afraid, embarrassed, or angry (34). Too little eye contact may be viewed negative, because it may express a lack of interest, attention and even trust. "Never trust a person who doesn't look you in the eyes." In the Middle East, direct eye contact during a conversation lasts longer than in many other parts of the world (35). Some westerners who are not used to this may feel uncomfortable for they think it rude to stare, especially at strangers. 32．What can we learn from this passage? 从题目选项核心名词eye contact, relationships可以得知，该题可能考查目光交流的重要性和意义。可以从“In a conversation, eye contact is important because more or less eye contact can create communication barriers(在对话中，目光交流非常重要，因为或多或少的目光交流能导致交际的障碍)”得知，恰当的目光交流对成功交际具有非常重要的意义，故可推测出正确答案。

【答案解析】[听力原文] Who keeps eye contact longest in a conversation? 从题目选项可以得知，该题考查哪国人如何的信息。可以从“In the Middle East, direct eye contact during a conversation lasts longer than in many other parts of the world(在中东，在对话交流中，直接的目光交流要比其他国家持续的时间长)”得知，在选项的四个国家中只有阿拉伯属于中东国家，故可推测出正确答案。 [名师点睛] negative：该词为多义词，文章中意思为“消极的，败事的，无助益的”，如：He has a very negative attitude to his work. (他的工作态度很消极。)原文中“Too little eye contact may be viewed negative”的意思为“太少的目光交流可能被视为是不好的或消极的”。
