答案与解析

【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述印第安人传递信息的方式。他们除了自己的

语言外从未学过其他语言，他们有两种无须语言的方式。一种是手语，另一种是暗号。现在你

知道印第安人不需要互相学习语言了。他们能够通过手语或者暗号互相交流。

36.D根据上句句意“他们有两种无须语言的方式”可知下句表达的是“一种是手语，另一

种是暗号”。故选D项。

37.B根据上句句意“一个印第安人也许使用一匹矮种马做暗号”以及空格后的一句“或者

他可能会使用烟、镜子或者火箭”可知，此处表达的意思是“他也许使用一条毯子”，故选B

项。

38.A根据上句句意“有时印第安人发出一个这样的信号然后马上离开躲起来”可知，下句

应表达“这意味着有危险”，故选A项。

39.E根据上句句意“一个印第安人手中握着毯子的一角，然后他开始挥舞毯子从身前的一

边到另一边”可知，下句应为“一个印第安人也能用他的毯子发出多种不同的信号”，故选E

项。

40.G根据上句句意“但是他也用镜子传送信息代码”可知,下句应为“当然,只有当阳光照

射时镜子才能被使用”，故选G项。
