单选题 {{B}}Passage 2{{/B}}

Nonverbal (非语言的) communication has to do with gestures, movements and closeness of two people when they are talking. (78) {{U}}The scientists say that those gestures, movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry.{{/U}}
For example, the body distance between two speakers can be important. North Americans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking, while the South American often considers the North American to be "cold" or "distant" because he keeps a greater distance between himself and the person he is speaking to. The "eye contact" provides another example of what we are calling nonverbal communication. Scientists have observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who don't like each other. (79) {{U}}The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about.{{/U}}
On the other hand, too long a gaze can make people uncomfortable. The eyes apparently play a great part in nonverbal communication. Genuine warmth or interest, shyness or confidence can often be seen in the eyes. We do not always consider a smile to be a sign of friendliness. Someone who is always smiling,and with little apparent reasons, often makes us uneasy.

单选题 According to the passage, nonverbal communication ______.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】本题主要考查的是考生对文章定义的理解把握。即第一段Nonverbal (非语言的)communication has to do with gestures，movements and closeness of two people when they are talking．The scientists say that those gestures，movements and so on have meaning which words do not carry．A、C、D选项不符合题意，在文章中找不到依据。只有B选项是根据以上内容直接选出的。

单选题 The South American ______.

【正确答案】 B

【答案解析】本题主要考查的是考生对细节的把握。文章的第二段讲到South American 的部分，North Americans often complain that South Americans are unfriendly because they tend to stand close to the North American when speaking.我们可以看出，“北美人抱怨南美人不友好”，但事实上并不是南美人不友好。因此C选项不符合题意。“南美人和人谈话的时候总和对方站得很近”，因此B选项正确。A、D选项是混淆选项，实际是北美人的特点。

单选题 Which of the following is NOT true?

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】本题考查的是考生对文章重点句子的把握。Scientists have observed that there is more eye contact between people who like each other than there is between people who don't like each other. “彼此喜欢的人之间的眼神交流远比彼此之间没有好感的人要多。”因此我们可以推出C选项的表述是正确的。The length of time that the person whom you are speaking to looks at your eyes indicates the amount of interest he has in the things you are talking about.“你说话时对方看你眼睛的时间长短可以表示出他对你说话感兴趣的程度。”因此，A、B选项的表述都是正确的。D选项的表述错误，“越短的眼神交流说明对说话人越感兴趣”明显是与原文不符的，故选D。

单选题 Too long a gaze ______.

单选题 Constant smiling without apparent reason ______.

【正确答案】 D

【答案解析】本题考查的也是考生对具体细节的理解。Someone who is always smiling，and with little apparent reasons, often makes us uneasy.“如果一个人老是笑，而且没有具体原因，这也会使人感到很不安。”因此D选项正确。其余选项不符合题意。
