一道英语阅读理解题
Are you still doing the V for victory sign?It’s out.The latest popular hand gesture (手势) is to curl (卷曲) both of your hands and put them together to make a heart-shape.
Known as “hand heart”,many young stars in the US including Justin Bieber,Blake Lively and Taylor Swift have done the move in recent photos.
“The heart-hand gesture means something between ‘I love you’ and ‘thank you’,” said the country singer Taylor Swift,21.“It’s a sweet,simple message which you can send without saying a word.”
Tailor Swift often puts her hands above her head in the heart shape at her concerts.And she is believed to be the first to make the gesture popular.Last month during a charity show,Justin Bieber and his superstar friends did the hand heart and put the photos online.They did it to help out three kids whose parents were killed in a car accident.The gesture became a real hit after that.
“It used to take longer for nonverbal(不用语言的) culture to move.But now,with smart phones and the Internet,it’s much faster,” said Patti Wood,an American language expert.In the Republic of Korea,the hand heart has been popular for a long time,in a different way.People there like making a “bigger heart” by putting their hands above their heads and making a heart shape with their arms.It means:“I love you.”
Which of the following statements is true?
A.Smart phones and the Internet are improving fast.
B.Smart phones and the Internet used to take longer time in use.
C.It’s much easier for nonverbal culture to reach more people.
D.It takes nonverbal culture a long time to become popular.
为什么答案选D而不是C呢?
细节理解题.根据文章倒数第二段可知,A 和B错误,C 项中easier是错误的.
It used to take longer for nonverbal culture to move.But now,with smart phones and the Internet,it’s much faster.
这句话说,以前非语言文化要流行起来需要的时间要更长些,现在由于科技的帮助,时间短多了.
这句话比的是非语言文化的以前和现在,而没有比过其它文化.所以并没有像C里面说的,它比别的文化更容易接近人群.事实上应该是相反的.
D.非语言文化用了很久才流行起来.这是对的,很长时间它都不流行,最近才在科技帮助下动起来了.
