问题     It has been justly said that while "we speak with our vocal organs we (1)_____ with our whole bodies," All of us communicate with one another (2)_____, as well as with words. Sometimes we know what we’re doing, as with the use of gestures such as the thumbs-up sign to indicate that we (3)_____ But most of the time we’re not aware that we’re doing it. We gesture with eyebrows or a hand, meet someone else’s eyes and (4)_____. These actions we (5)_____ are random and incidental. But researchers (6)_____ that there is a system of them almost as consistent and comprehensible as language, and they conclude that there is a whole (7)_____ of body language, (8)_____ the way we move, the gestures we employ, the posture we adopt, the facial expression we (9)_____, the extent to which we touch and the distance we stand (10)_____ each other.
    The body language serves a variety of purposes. Firstly it can replace verbal communication, (11)_____ with the use of gesture. Secondly it can modify verbal communication.

选项 A、level
B、extent
C、group
D、range
答案D
解析 此题考词义的辨析。level意为"水平，区域"，如与body language搭配，显然不符合句子的意思；extent"范围，程度"，与文章意思也不相关；group和range都有"组、群、类"的意思，但range偏重于类似物的组合或系列，因此，此处应说range。a whole range of body language意为：一整套形体语言。
