问题     Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is ac-complished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols are very colorful and exact and can be used internationally; spelling, however, cannot.
    Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
    Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips) , signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn and instruct people.
    While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.
Which of the following best summarizes this passage? (  )
选项 A、Body language transmits ideas or thoughts more quickly.
B、Body language transmits ideas or thoughts more accurately.
C、Nonlinguistic language is more expressive than verbalization.
D、Nonlinguistic language also expresses human thoughts and feelings.
答案D
解析 本题是对整篇文章内容的考查。AB两项单纯说了body language的作用，较片面；C项将nonlinguistic language和verbalization做比较，并指出前者更具有表达性，和文章内容不符。
