Question

阅读下面短文并回答问题，然后将答案写到答题卡相应的位置上（请注意各小题后面的词数要求）。

(1) According to one study, words send only 7 percent of a person's message.Intonation(语调) and voice quality communicate 38 percent, and nonverbal (not using or involving words) cues (暗看专)transmit a large 55 percent. That means people pick up more from nonverbal communication than from the words a person says. When studying a foreign culture then, it just makes sense to pay attention to how people use nonverbal cues.

(2) Gestures make up a major form of nonverbal communication.  But often these gestures are culture-bound. For example, when the Maoris of New Zealand stick out their tongue at someone, it is a sign of respect. When American schoolchildren make the same gesture, it means just the opposite.  Also, Americans often indicate "OK" with their thumb and forefinger touching to form a circle. The same gesture means"money" to the  Japanese and "zero" to the French. For that reason, people in a foreign culture must use  gestures with caution.

(3) Another part of nonverbal communication is the one that you might not think about—space. When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. When he knocks into someone, he feels obligated(有义务的) to apologize.  But the size of a person's "comfort zone" varies, depending on his culture or ethnic origin. For example, in casual conversation, many Americans stand about four feet apart. People in Latin or Arabic cultures, instead,________ and touch each other often.

（4） Considering the effects of nonverbal communcation, we never rea11y stop communicating. How we walk, how we stand and how we use our hands all send a message to others.  That's why it’s possible to "read someone like a book. "

2.Gestures are culture-bound.

3.He feels uncomfortable.

4.stand (very) close to each other

5.It’s mainly about nonverbal communication.

【解析】

试题分析：本文叙述了人们交流时绝大部分用的是非语言交流，第一它包括手势，但是各国的语言背景不同，手势的含义有所不同。第二包括人们交流时站的远近，由于各国的风俗习惯不同，站的距离的远近也不同。

1.根据Intonation(语调) and voice quality communicate 38 percent, and nonverbal (not using or involving words) cues (暗看专)transmit a large 55 percent. 人们用非语言交流占的最多，故用Because they transmit more than the words a person says.

Because we can pick up more from nonverbal communication.

2.根据Gestures make up a major form of nonverbal communication.  But often these gestures are culture-bound. 这是中心句，故用Gestures are culture-bound.

3.When someone comes too close, he feels uncomfortable. many Americans stand about four feet apart.谈话时离得太近会让美国人不舒服，故用He feels uncomfortable.

4.根据上文说讲话离得远，后面有instead 转折所以应该说离得较近，故用stand (very) close to each other.

5.纵观全文可以看出主要讲述的非语言交流，故用It’s mainly about nonverbal communication.
