24、上一句中的“theirownspecialact”，即“人類所形成的自己的獨(dú)特的行為”。句意：如果我們用最簡單的詞語來概括它的話，那是一種通過變化我們呼氣時所發(fā)出的聲音來向別人交流信息的能力。4解析：選c主旨大意題。通讀全文可知，本文講述了人類使用語言的能力、人類與其他動物共有的“身勢語”以及動物如何使用“身勢語”?？傊疚闹v述了人與動物傳達(dá)信息的能力。.語篇解讀：本文是說明文，就如何寫電子郵件提出了幾點(diǎn)建議。1解析：選d本選項(xiàng)承接上一句來說明寫主題的時候要具體，以便收件人能夠立即知道郵件的主題，下一句也順著本選項(xiàng)展開，說明措辭也要簡練，故選d。2解析：選a本段主要講不同情況和場合下應(yīng)該使用
