问题     It has been justly said that while " we speak with our vocal organs we【B1】______with our whole bodies. " All of us communicate with one another【B2】______, as well as with words. Sometimes we know what we’ re doing, as with the use of gestures such as the thumbs-up sign to indicate that we【B3】______. But most of the time we’ re not aware that we’ re doing it. We gesture with eyebrows or a hand, meet someone else’ s eyes and【B4】______. These actions we【B5】______are random and incidental. But researchers【B6】______that there is a system of them almost as consistent and comprehensible as language, and they conclude that there is a whole【B7】______of body language,【B8】______the way we move, the gestures we employ, the posture we adopt, the facial expression we【B9】______, the extent to which we touch and distance we stand【B10】______each other.
    Body language serves a variety of purposes. Firstly it can replace verbal communication, 【B11】______with the use of gesture. Secondly it can modify verbal communication. Loudness and【B12】______of voice is an example here. Thirdly it regulates social interaction: turn taking is largely governed by non-verbal【B13】______Fourthly it conveys our emotions and attitude. This is【B14】______important for successful cross-cultural communication.
    Every culture has its own body language, and children absorb its nuances【B15】______with spoken language. The way an Englishman crosses his legs is【B16】______like the way a male American does it. When we communicate with people from other cultures, the body language sometimes help make the communication easy and【B17】______, such as shaking hand is such a 【B18】______gesture that people all over the world know that it is a signal for greeting. But sometimes the body language can cause certain misunderstanding【B19】______people of different cultures often have different forms of behavior for sending the same message or have different【B20】______towards the same body signals.
【B1】
选项 A、address
B、reverse
C、converse
D、confer
答案C
解析 address、converse和confer三词均有“谈，说”之意，但是address是及物动词，表示“对……发表演说，向个人或团体陈述”，此处不能选；confer是不及物动词，confer with后多接人，表示“与……商谈，协商”；而converse是“谈心，交谈”之意，符合文章的意思。reverse意为“相反”，与句义相差甚远。此句意为：我们用我们的发声器官说话，用我们的整个身体交谈。
