【解析】

试题分析：本文讲述了一个外国官员在印度雇车时，发生在他与司机之间的有趣故事。印度人讲话时喜欢摇头，官员叫一位印度司机送他去办公室，司机马上摇头；官员多次重复自己的命令时，司机都是摇头。当官员大声叫喊着叫司机马上送他到办公室时，司机同意地回答着，也同时摇头。这时这位官员才明白，印度的摇头不是在说不。

【1】No 句意：这和我们的“不”不是同样的意思。我们用摇头表示不，而印度的摇头与我们表拒绝、否定的“不”不是同一个意思。故填：No。

【2】trouble句意：如果有人想要参观印度，他应该知道这点，否则会给他带来一些麻烦。由于肢体语言所表达的实际含义相反，不明白这点就会招惹麻烦，故填：trouble。

【3】repeated句意：官员重复着自己的命令，而司机再次摇头。官员已经叫过印度人送他去办公室，这是再次命令，重复地说，故填：repeated.

【4】angry句意：官员最后当然生气了。官员的命令被多次摇头“拒绝”了，因此生气了，故填：angry。

【5】shouted句意：“你怎么敢拒绝我的命令？”他嚷道，“马上开车送我去办公室!”前面命令时，该官员已经生气，再次被摇头“拒绝”。可以推测出他会咆哮了，故填：shouted。

【6】couldn’t句意：小车出发了，官员现在是如此的诧异，以致于他一个字也说不出来。根据本段的描述，官员明白了是怎么一回事了。因此对自己的失态不知说什么好，不能说出一个字。故填：couldn’t。
