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 word "intimate" in paragraph two probably means______.
选项 A、great
B、close
C、good
D、important
答案B
解析 语义题。本题问第二节里的“intimate”的意思是……。文章第二节第三句说：当我们进行一般性交谈时，每次目光相遇只会延续一秒钟左右，我们中的一方或者双方就会将目光移开。当两个美国人探究性地盯着彼此的眼睛看时，他们就变得……了。从文章语境来判断，两个人盯着彼此的眼睛看，他们多半成为恋人了，故选B。亲密的，一般不会错。
