Question

The idea of what shaking the head means is not always the same in different countries. Maybe some visitors would be surprised when they first came to India. When they talked to an Indian,he would often shake his head.The visitors might think that the Indian did not like what they said.But, in fact, they would be completely wrong.
Indians always shake their heads when they talk to others. It does not have the same meaning as our “No.” If someone wants to visit India, he should know this, or it will give him some trouble.
One day, a foreign officer went to India on business. He hired a car and an Indian to drive it. When he told his driver to send him to his office,the Indian shook his head at once.The officer said again,and the driver shook his head again. At last the offcer, of course,got angry.
“How dare you refuse my order?” he shouted. “Drive me to my office at once!”
The driver answered in quite loud voice,too. “Yes, sir!” But to the officer’s surprise, the driver shook his head at the same time.
The car started, and the foreign officer was now too surprised to say a word. He thought about it for a while, and with a smile, “No means Yes here!”

試題分析：這篇短文介紹了搖頭這個(gè)含義并不一定就是表示肯定，作者并舉了一個(gè)發(fā)生在印度的小故事，詳細(xì)介紹了這個(gè)差別。
1.根據(jù).But, in fact, they would be completely wrong.及上下文描述可知選B。
2.根據(jù)The driver answered in quite loud voice,too. “Yes, sir!” But to the officer’s surprise, the driver shook his head at the same time.描述可知選D。
3.結(jié)合語(yǔ)境可知選C，出租車司機(jī)應(yīng)該聽(tīng)從乘客的要求。
4.通過(guò)閱讀上文可知當(dāng)印度人同意別人的意見(jiàn)時(shí)，是搖頭。故選B。
5.結(jié)合語(yǔ)境可知No means Yes．只是表示搖頭這個(gè)動(dòng)作時(shí)是這種含義。并不是說(shuō)的單詞no的含義就是yes。故選C。
考點(diǎn)：關(guān)于肢體語(yǔ)言的說(shuō)明文
點(diǎn)評(píng)：本文淺顯易懂，層次分明，學(xué)生很容易把握文中中心內(nèi)容。答題中注意帶著問(wèn)題閱讀短文，一般就能順利找出答題依據(jù)。對(duì)于不能直接找到根據(jù)的問(wèn)題注意聯(lián)系上下文，根據(jù)短文中心總結(jié)出正確答案。
