【文章大意】在不同的文化中，人们对目光交流、身体接触、身势语言等有不同的理解，因此，有时要理解这些非语言信息会很难。
1.【解析】选B。考查名词。此题属于原词复现。physical touch意为“身体接触”，这从第6空后的physical contact可得到暗示。
2.【解析】选D。此题属于原词复现。第一段已提到不同文化（different cultures）中人们对视线接触、身势语等有不同的理解。此处举例说明，故此空填“文化”一词。
3.【解析】选C。考查形容词。在拉美和亚洲文化中，小孩回避他人的视线是对其尊敬的表示。而对此不了解的老师会误以为这是缺乏尊重。be unfamiliar with sth. 意为“对……不熟悉”。
4.【解析】选A。考查名词。此空前的however说明此句与前一句之间在逻辑上是转折关系。既然前一句说是show respect，此处当然是a sign of disrespect。
5.【解析】选C。考查动词。look sb. in the eye意为“直视某人”。
6.【解析】选A。考查动词。在文章首段中说“不同的文化对视线接触、身体接触等有不同的期待（different cultures have different expectations about eye contact, physical touch）”，然后在第二段讲视线接触在不同文化中的不同理解，此节则是讲physical contact在不同文化中的影响，即“文化极大地影响到人们对身体接触的态度”。这也是这一段的主题句。
7.【解析】选B。考查副词。由于男性之间可以随意地拥抱一下，故可推测作为女性握手则是常事。
8.【解析】选D。考查形容词。此句中的however同样表示转折。而在美国文化中这种公开场合的行为令人感到不舒服。
9.【解析】选C。考查名词所有格。从第10题后可得到暗示。在亚洲摸成人的头是严格禁止的（strictly taboo），但是成人和小孩之间摸头却是可以接受的（be acceptable）。
10.【解析】选B。考查连词。前后句之间是让步关系，故用although。
11.【解析】选D。考查副词。从本段的people stand very close，distance，standing too close等处可知本段是谈人与人之间站位的距离。closely“紧密地，仔细地”。
12.【解析】选A。考查动词。此空的when talking与前一句的when they’re having a conversation意思一样。
13.【解析】选A。考查形容词。来自中东和南美的人谈话时站得很近（stand very close），而来自欧洲的美国人的心理距离要更大一些。
14.【解析】选B。考查动词。此句中的while表示对比。来自非洲的美国人的心理距离相比之下（双方的心理距离）更远。
15.【解析】选C。考查动词。双方谈话时，站得太近，超过可接受的心理距离，人就会感到极不舒服。create“引起，造成”。
16.【解析】选D。考查形容词。对谈话时的心理距离要知道，否则会造成麻烦。be aware of意为“意识到，知道”。be ashamed of“以……为羞愧”。
17.【解析】选D。考查动词。此题属于近义复现。此空前的or表示选择关系，说明此空后的内容“ 17 the ideas”与前面的understanding意思相近。不意识到人们交流时默认的心理距离甚至会阻碍他人理解或接受你试图传达的意思。
18.【解析】选C。考查动词。指非语言信息与语言信息要相配（match），要一致。
19.【解析】选B。考查动词。这些文化差异可通过观察小孩和家人间的谈话及举止方式（behave）来了解。
20.【解析】选A。考查动词。这样就可为你真正理解他们的非语言交流提供（provide）线索。
