2020年10月31日托福阅读真题+题目+答案：Facial Expressions

Even without the more elaborate forms of nonverbal communication like sign language, gestures, or miming, humans can actually communicate a great deal using only their bodies Much of this, such as the posture of a person who is sad, is unintentional, but we can give deliberate signals with our bodies as well.▋Invading someone s space can be a way of intentionally signaling aggression. ▋Other species also use body language, which was probably one of the earliest forms of communication between animals. However, unlike many other animals, humans also have an impressive ability to communicate things using only our faces. ▋Once again, this can be intentional or unintentional. ▋Our facial expression is almost constantly advertising our current emotional state and can even betray us by revealing feelings that we attempt to hide. We can also add important nuance to verbal communication using our faces. Given the right context, a simple glance at a friend can often communicate a great deal.

1.According to paragraph 1, all of the following are true about communication through facial expressions EXCEPT

A.It is far more advanced in humans than in many other species

B.It sometimes provides information that people prefer to remain unknown

C.Some important nuances of it can be difficult to understand

D.It may involve giving someone a quick look

Many of the cues and signals that come from our facial expressions are universal among all of the people in our species This indicates that this form of communication is much more innate (inborn rather than learned) than the recent innovation of spoken language. For example, the languages spoken among the hunter. gatherer tribes of New Guinea have absolutely nothing in common with English or any other Indo-European language. ( Most of them have nothing in common with each other!)Yet, a smile means exactly the same in the rain forests of New Guinea as it does in the streets of New York City. This speaks to the unconscious, genetic and inborn nature of facial expressions because if facial expressions were learned, like language, we would expect divergence among the cultures of the world. Instead, we see striking universality. Further proof of this is that people born blind display the same facial expressions as their sighted neighbors They could not have learned the expressions by seeing them in others. It seems clear that facial expressions and their meanings are almost completely built into the human brain.

2.Why does the author state that a smile means exactly the same in the rain forests of New Guinea as it does in the streets of New York City

B.To emphasize how little in common most languages in New Guinea have with one another

C.To support the argument that facial expressions are a much more innate form of communication than spoken language is

D.To identify one of the many ways in which people can communicate without using spoken language

3.According to paragraph 2, which of the following is true about people who are unable to see from birth?

A.Their behavior provides evidence that facial expressions are inborn

B.They can be taught to use facial expressions

C.Their facial expressions prove that cultures of the world diverge greatly

D.Their facial expressions are often misunderstood by their sighted neighbors
