问题     All of us communicate with one another nonverbally(不使用语言地), as well as with words. Most of the time we’re not aware that we are doing it. We gesture with elbows or a hand, meet someone else’s eyes and look away, change positions in a chair. These actions we assume are occasional. However in recent years researchers have discovered that there is a system to them almost as consistent and understandable as language.
    One important kind of body language is eye behavior. Americans are careful about how and when they meet one another’s eyes. In our normal conversation, each eye contact lasts only about a second before one or both of us look away. When two Americans look searchingly into each other’s eyes, they become more intimate. Therefore, we carefully avoid this, except in suitable situations.
    Researchers who are engaged in the study of communication through body movement are not prepared to spell out a precise vocabulary of gestures. When an American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or refusing something. But there are other possible interpretations(解释), too. Another example: when a student in conversation with a professor holds the older man’s eyes a little longer than is usual, it can be a sign of respect: it can be a challenge to the professor’s authority: it can be something else entirely. The researchers look for patterns in the situation, not for a separate meaningful gesture.
    Communications between human beings would be just dull if it were all done with words.
The sentence "the researchers look for patterns in the situation, not for a separate meaningful gesture" means______.
选项 A、the researchers explain the meaning of a gesture according to the situation in which it is used
B、the researchers believe that one gesture has only one meaning
C、the researchers think that one gesture cannot be used in different situations
D、the researchers look for patterns in textbooks to explain the meaning of a gesture
答案A
解析 句义题。本题问“the researchers look for patterns in the situation，not for a separatemeaningful gesture”这句话是什么意思。这实际上是要求考生用英语来解释或复述此句。这句的意思不难弄明白：科研人员在探索的是社交场合下的体态语模式，而不是某一种单独的体态语的含义。这就是说他们探索的是体态语在不同社交场合下的使用通则。弄懂原句含义之后再与选项各句对比，意思相同的即为答案。A．科研人员根据体态语使用的社交场合来解释体态语的含义；B．科研人员相信一种体态语只有一个含义；C．科研人员认为同一体态语不可用于不同的社交场合；D．科研人员从教科书中去寻找模式以解体体态语的含义。这四个选项中的B／C很容易排除，因为B在文章中被明确否定过，而C项我们依据生活常识即可排除。D项具有极大的欺骗性，因为它与原句比较接近，玩的是偷梁换柱的把戏，把原句中的in the situation偷换成了in textbooks，从而改变了原句的意思。比较四个选项不难分辨出A项与原句意思吻合，故选A。
