试题详情及答案解析
As an English speaker, you must know a lot of English words. You can read, speak and understand. But there is another kind of language you have to know — the language of the body, a part of what is called non-verbal communication. All over the world, people “talk” with their eyes. When Chinese people meet, they usually shake their hands. What do American and British do?
Americans are more informal than the British. They like to be friendly. They use first name, they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves. When they sit down, they like to relax in their chairs and make themselves comfortable.
British people are more quiet. They take more time to make friends. They like to know you before theyask you home. 
When British and American people meet someone for the first time, they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends, and men kiss women friends (on one cheek only). When a man meets a man friend, he just smiles, and says “Hello”. Men do not kiss each other. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.

试题分析:本文简要讲述英国人和美国人分别在见面时体态语的异同。
【小题1】D细节信息题。根据文章第三句话“But there is another kind of language you have to know — the language of the body, a part of what is callednon-verbal communication.”可知,体态语是非语言的、用肢体动作进行表达的交流。故正确答案为D.
【小题2】D细节信息题。根据文章第四句话“All over the world, people “talk” with their eyes.”(全世界,人们都用眼神进行交流。)可知,世界各地的人们都使用体态语。故该题正确答案为D.
【小题3】C细节信息题。根据文章最后一段中“men kiss women friends (on one cheek only).”可知,英国和美国的男性在遇见他们的女性朋友时,会亲吻她们的一面脸颊。故该题正确答案为C.
【小题4】B语意推测题。由上文的语境“英国人更加地内敛些”,要将猜测部分中“你”和“家”联系起来,可推知该句句意应为:在他们没充分了解你之前,他们是不会“邀请你去他家做客的。”,故该题正确答案为B.
