Communication without WordsWhen you learn a foreign language you must learn more than just the vocabulary and the grammar. To communicate successfully in speech, you must also learn the nonverbal language, or "body language," of that culture.

题目解答

答案

我们来一步一步分析这道题目。

题目是：
1.1.3 Learning a foreign language may be difficult in that we don’t understand its body language.
选项是：
○ True
○ False
○ Not Given /no_think

我们需要判断这句话在原文中是否为真、为假，还是未提及。

第一步：理解题干的意思
题干说：“学习一门外语可能会很难，因为我们不理解它的肢体语言。”
关键词是：“学习外语困难” 和 “因为不理解肢体语言”。

我们要在原文中找是否有相关信息支持这个说法。

第二步：回到原文寻找相关信息
原文第二段开头写道：

> Speaking a foreign language is sometimes difficult because we may not understand the nonverbal signals of another culture, or they may mean something very different from what they mean in our own culture.

翻译为中文是：
“说一门外语有时是困难的，因为我们可能不理解另一种文化的非语言信号，或者这些信号在我们的文化中有完全不同的含义。”

这里的“nonverbal signals”就是“body language”（肢体语言）的同义表达。

这句话明确指出了：不理解另一种文化的非语言信号（即肢体语言）是造成外语交流困难的原因之一。

这正好支持了题干的说法：“学习外语困难，是因为我们不理解它的肢体语言。”

第三步：判断选项
题干的说法在原文中有明确支持，因此应选择：

✅ True

最终答案：
\boxed{\text{True}}

解析

本题考查对文章细节信息的理解和判断能力。解题思路是先明确题干的核心观点，即学习外语困难的原因是不理解其肢体语言，然后在原文中寻找与之相关的表述，通过对比原文和题干来判断该观点是否正确。

  1. 理解题干：题干表达“学习一门外语可能会很难，因为我们不理解它的肢体语言”，关键信息为“学习外语困难”和“因为不理解肢体语言”。
  2. 查找原文：在原文第二段“Speaking a foreign language is sometimes difficult because we may not understand the non - verbal signals of another culture, or they may mean something very different from what they mean in our own culture.”中，“non - verbal signals”与“body language”意思相近，此句表明不理解另一种文化的非语言信号（肢体语言）是导致说外语困难的原因之一。
  3. 对比判断：原文内容与题干观点一致，所以题干说法正确。
