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 tuned 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.
16. What did Opp-Kemp’s speech focus on?
17. Why do Japanese listeners sometimes close their eyes while listening to a speech?
18. What does the speaker try to explain?
选项
A、How listeners in different cultures show respect.
B、How speakers can win approval from the audience.
C、How speakers can misunderstand the audience.
D、How different Western and Eastern art forms are.
答案
A
解析
短文提到学习不同的文化如何表达尊重可以帮助你避免一些误解,A中的show为how different cultures signal respect中signal一词的同义替换,因此答案为A。本题为主旨大意题。短文以演讲时候一些日本听众闭上眼睛为引子,后面列举了其他例子,意在说明在不同的文化中表达尊重的方式各不相同。B“演讲人如何赢得听众的认同”、C“演讲人如何误解听众”和D“东西方艺术形式有多不同”均不是叙述者所要说明的问题。注意,C具有迷惑性,但它的含义太泛;短文都是围绕respect,applause,approval展开,不涉及其他方面的“误解”。
