31-35.CDACD本文主要介紹了身勢(shì)語(yǔ)在交際中的重要性，并舉了一些相關(guān)的例子。21．由習(xí)語(yǔ)“Actionsspeaklouderthanwords.”或者“Factsspeaklouderthanwords.(事實(shí)勝于雄辯)”可以推知選B。22．此處表示“我們的身體發(fā)送的信息比我們意識(shí)到的要多”。message“信息”，符合語(yǔ)境。23．此處表示“我們表達(dá)有約一半是通過(guò)非言語(yǔ)交際實(shí)現(xiàn)的”。mean“意思是”，符合語(yǔ)境。24．根據(jù)前文，身勢(shì)語(yǔ)言占據(jù)我們生活交流中的很大一部分，以至于我們都經(jīng)常不會(huì)去注意它。25．根據(jù)后文可知，這里要說(shuō)的是人與人之間的距離的問(wèn)題。26．根據(jù)下文可知，北歐人通常不喜歡身體接觸，故選C項(xiàng)。27．此處表示“北歐人連朋友之間的問(wèn)候也很少有肢體的接觸，更何況是跟陌生人(stranger)了”。28．根據(jù)后文內(nèi)容可知，應(yīng)是在談話中發(fā)生的事情。29．此處表示“由于拉美人習(xí)慣身體接觸，而北歐人卻不習(xí)慣，所以交談中北歐人不斷躲閃，看起來(lái)就像拉美人在追逐北歐人一樣”，故選D項(xiàng)。30．根據(jù)前文所說(shuō)拉美人的習(xí)俗可知，應(yīng)該是拉美人靠近來(lái)表示友好。31．挪威人不愿有肢體接觸，一定是向后退了。backaway與moveclose對(duì)應(yīng)。32．拉美人一定會(huì)覺得挪威人不愿接近自己是一種不友好的、冷漠(coldness)的表現(xiàn)。33．通讀全文可知，來(lái)自不同的(different)文化的人們的交流形式不同。34．因?yàn)閬?lái)自不同的文化，所以很有可能會(huì)有誤解(misunderstanding)，同時(shí)也與第一段中的misunderstanding相對(duì)應(yīng)。35.此處表示“無(wú)論情況如何，最好的建議(advice)是遵循黃金法則：用自己想被對(duì)待的方式來(lái)對(duì)待別人”。三、閱讀理解22.FormerBritishPrimeMinisterWinstonChurchilloncesaid,“TheBritisharetheonlypeoplewholiketobetoldhowbadthingsare.”ThisisdefinitelytrueofBritishcomedy.Mostpeoplethinkhumorisabouthappythings,butfortheBritish,theoppositeistrue.Welovetouseoursenseofhumortocomplainandbenegative.Britishcomedy,forexample,drawsafinelinebetweencomedyandtragedy.BBC’sTheOfficeisaTVshow，famousforitsdryhumor.Themaincharacter,DavidBrent,isafoolishman,andtheshow'scomedycomesfromhisdelusions.Forexample,heoftentellshimselfthatheislovedbyeveryonebuttheviewercanseethateveryonehateshim.StupidcharactersfortheaudiencetolaughatareanoldtraditioninBritain.InShakespeare'splayTwelfthNight,thecharacterMalvolioisanoldmanwhompeopleplaytrickson.Theaudiencewilllaughaway,althoughtherealityisthatthismanisatrulytragicindividual.ThissideofBritishhumorisreflectedinfriendshipsaswell.Atuniversity,myfriendsandIwouldalwayslaughatoneanother.IhadanAmericanfriendwhoactuallyfoundthissarcasm(挖苦)quiteupsetting.Shedidn'trealizethatinBritain,thebetterfriendsyouarewithsomeone,themoreyoulaughatthem.Thisapproach—laughingateverything—maysoundratherdepressing,butourstrangehumorplayedabigpartinBritishhistory.InthesecondWorldWar,alongwithastiffupperlip,
