While Gail Opp-Kemp, an American artist, was giving a speech on the art of Japanese brush painting to an audience that included visitors from Japan, she was confused to see that many of her Japanese listeners had their eyes closed. Were they turned off because an American had the nerve to instruct Japanese in their own art form? Were they deliberately trying to signal their rejection of her?
Opp-Kemp later found out that her listeners were not being disrespectful. Japanese listeners sometimes close their eyes to enhance concentration. Her listeners were showing their respect for her by chewing on her words.
Someday you may be either a speaker or a listener in a situation involving people from other countries or members of a minority group in North America. Learning how different cultures signal respect can help you avoid misunderstandings. Here are some examples:
In the deaf culture of North America, many listeners show applause not by clapping their hands but by waving them in the air.
In some cultures, both overseas and in some minority groups in North America, listeners are considered disrespectful if they look directly at the speaker. Respect is shown by looking in the general direction but avoiding direct eye contact.
In some countries, whistling by listeners is a sign of approval, while in other countries, it is a form of insult.
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the passage you have just heard.
19. What did Opp-Kemp’s speech focus on?
20. Why do Japanese listeners sometimes close their eyes while listening to a speech?
21. What does the speaker try to explain?
选项
A、The art of Japanese brush painting.
B、Some features of Japanese culture.
C、Characteristics of Japanese artists.
D、The uniqueness of Japanese art.
答案
A
解析
选项均为名词性短语且概括性较强表明,本题可能是考查短文的主题或短文中涉及的某个主题。选项中的Japanese culture/artists/art表明,该主题可能与日本的艺术或文化有关。短文开头提到…Gail Opp-Kemp…was giving a speech on the art of Japanese brush painting(Gail Opp—Kemp在为听众做日本毛笔画艺术的演讲),由此可知,Gail Opp—Kemp演讲的重点是关于The art of Japanese brush painting,故答案为A)。A)项是对原文信息的重现。短文开头部分往往是设题的重点,听音时要特别留意该部分。
