阅读理解
Body language or, as it is also known, nonverbal communication, is about all the things that people say and do without using words. Research suggests that more than 70% of communication occurs without people having to say a single word.
Like language, the way we communicate nonverbally varies across cultures. But, unlike language, it can be very difficult to find out what the nonverbal rules are.
It's very well-known that there are differences in the ways that cultures work, but what can you do to try to prepare yourself for living and surviving in another culture
I think you've got two things to think about. I personally don't fully accept the idea of "When in Rome, do as the Romans do. " I don't think people expect you to completely adopt all of the things that they do. What I think people would like is that you agree and understand it and that you do your best.
One of the things you can do is actually to explain to the other culture, saying, "Well, you know, actually we don't normally kiss in my culture, so it's a bit uncomfortable. " But then do your best, so it's a learning process.
Well, kissing is just one of many different ways of interaction that you need to know. You can get into difficult or embarrassing or even worse situations if you don't know it. Eye contact, tone of voice, how close you stand, any touching, how many times you kiss, a long handshake, a short handshake, it can go on and on. So I think, yes, you do need to get these correct and you need to have good observation skills.
46．From the passage, it can be inferred that ________.
A．only grown ups have body language
B．body language can be understood by all the people all the time
C．only the same body language has the same meaning all over the world
D．body language varies from culture to culture
47．The passage is mainly to tell readers ________.
A．body language is important
B．to find out the rules of body language
C．when in Rome, do as the Romans do
D．to learn good observation skills
48．According to the author, we know that ________.
A．to learn body language, you should watch people and observe what they do
B．to learn a language, you should prepare yourself for living in another culture
C．when you learn a language, you must know the differences of different cultures
D．to know body language, you should adopt all that other cultures do

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了肢体语言，或者也称为非语言交流，是关于人们在不使用文字的情况下所说和所做的所有事情，并阐述了身体语言的规则。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇文化类阅读，考生需要准确捕捉细节信息，并根据上下文进行逻辑推理，从而选出正确答案。
46．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"Body language or, as it is also known, nonverbal communication, is about all the things that people say and do without using words."肢体语言，也被称为非语言沟通，是指人们不用语言就能说的和做的所有事情；以及第二段中的"Like language, the way we communicate nonverbally varies across cultures."就像语言一样，我们非语言交流的方式也因文化而异。可推知，肢体语言（也就是非语言交流）因文化而异。故选D。
47．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"But, unlike language, it can be very difficult to find out what the nonverbal rules are."但是，与语言不同的是，要找出非语言规则是非常困难的；以及第三段"It's very well-known that there are differences in the ways that cultures work, but what can you do to try to prepare yourself for living and surviving in another culture "众所周知，不同文化的运作方式是不同的，但是你能做些什么来为自己在另一种文化中生活和生存做好准备呢？；以及下文可知，本文目的是告知发现肢体语言的规则。故选B。
48．考查细节理解。根据最后一段中的"So I think, yes, you do need to get these correct and you need to have good observation skills."所以我认为，是的，你需要把这些做对，你需要有良好的观察技巧。可知，要学习肢体语言，需要具有观察技巧，你应该观察人们，观察他们做了什么。故选A。
