21、句是对 taboo 的定义，下句讲它们通常是一个国家或一种文化所特有的，通常是围绕着一个团体的价值观和信仰而形成的。由此可以推断，C 项(尽管一些人可能这样认为，但禁忌不是通用的)符合语境，起到承上启下的作用。故选 C 项。2F 解析：本段主要讲一些人对禁忌的看法，比如一些私人问题不能在公共场合谈论等。根据设空前一句中的 too much volume of ones voice may annoy people 可知，在一些国家，说话声音太大会惹恼别人，F 项( 他们可能认为大声说笑是粗鲁的或充满挑衅的)正好是对上一句的解释。故选 F 项。3A 解析：根据设空后一句中的 eye contac
22、t 可知，本段主要讲眼神接触在不同文化中有不同的要求，属于肢体语言。故 A 项( 非语言禁忌通常和肢体语言有关 )符合语境。4G 解析：本段讲的是眼神接触的作用，根据关键词 eye contact 可知，G 项与该段主题一致，故选 G 项。5B 解析：本段介绍手势语在不同国家的含义。上一句介绍了把中指和食指交叠起来，在很多西方国家意味着好运。下文应该介绍其他国家对此不同的理解，B 项(然而在越南和阿根廷，这是一个粗鲁的手势)符合语境，故选 B 项。语法填空(2018惠州高三调研考试)Recent months have seen a return of bikes across China.
