While Gail Opp-Kemp, an American artist, was giving a speech on the art of Japanese brush painting to an audience that included visitors from Japan, she was confused to see that many of her Japanese listeners had their eyes closed. Were they turned off because an American had the nerve to instruct Japanese in their own art form? Were they deliberately trying to signal their rejection of her?
Opp-Kemp later found out that her listeners were not being disrespectful. Japanese listeners sometimes close their eyes to enhance concentration. Her listeners were showing their respect for her by chewing on her words.
Someday you may be either a speaker or a listener in a situation involving people from other countries or members of a minority group in North America. Learning how different cultures signal respect can help you avoid misunderstandings. Here are some examples:
In the deaf culture of North America, many listeners show applause not by clapping their hands but by waving them in the air.
In some cultures, both overseas and in some minority groups in North America, listeners are considered disrespectful if they look directly at the speaker. Respect is shown by looking in the general direction but avoiding direct eye contact.
In some countries, whistling by listeners is a sign of approval, while in other countries, it is a form of insult.
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.
19. What did Opp-Kemp’s speech focus on?
20. Why do Japanese listeners sometimes close their eyes while listening to a speech?
21. What does the speaker try to explain?
选项
A、How speakers can misunderstand the audience.
B、How speakers can win approval from the audience.
C、How listeners in different cultures show respect.
D、How different Western and Eastern art forms are.
答案
C
解析
由A)(演讲者为何会误解听众)、B)(演讲者如何赢得听众的认可)及C)(不同文化中的听众是如何表达尊敬的)推测,问题可能与演讲有关,涉及演讲者和听众,D)与其他三个选项明显不同,根据命题规律,D)为答案的可能性较小。短文中提到,了解不同文化表示尊重的不同方式可以帮助避免产生误解,随后进行举例,由此可知,说话者试图通过举例说明来自不同文化中的听众是如何表示尊重的,故答案为C)。How listeners in different cultures show respect是对短文中的how different cultures signal respect的同义转述。
