问题     Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.
    Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting (调情，卖弄风情) °r indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
    Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people.
    While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.
Which form other than oral speech would be most commonly used among blind people?
选项 A、Body language.
B、Signal flags.
C、Braille.
D、Picture signs.
答案C
解析 本题我们同样可以采用排除法。因为盲人看不见，所以选项A“肢体语言”，选项B“信号旗”，选项D“图表表达”，均可排除。另外，我们通过推断法也能找到答案。文中第三段第一句说：“其他非语言交流形式在盲文(一种用指尖触摸的凸点文字系统)、信号旗、莫尔斯电码和烽火信号中也可找到。”显然盲文是在盲人中最通用的。当然，许多人对“Braille”一词会感到陌生，但可以从括号内该词的同位语来确定其词义。
