C．Describe.D．Analyze.A 解析：词义猜测题。画线词前的修饰词these指代前一句中的“gestures，eyecontact，andfacialexpressions”；再根据画线词后的“whattheyaresaying，ordotheytelladifferentstory”可推断，match与画线词意思相近。故选A。4．Whichisthebesttitleofthispassage?A．SpeakWhileYouListenB．ListenBeyondWordsC．ReadBetweenLinesD．ThinkasYouTalkB 解析：标题归纳题。本文主要说明通过观察说话人的说话方式来听懂说话人想表达的言外之意。所以选B。二、单句语法填空1．Thistreelookstallandstrongbut________(actual)itstrunkishollow.答案：actually
