答案及解析

A篇文章大意：当我们去一个国家时，知道用该国的语言交流诚然很重要，但知道怎样通过手势语交流也同样重要。

21．解析：细节理解题。根据文中第一段When people don't know the language，the most common way to communicate is through gestures.可知，大多数的交流都是非语言的所以懂得非语言的交流很重要。所以选B。

22．解析：细节理解题。根据文中In Southeast Asia，nodding your head is a polite way of saying "I've heard you."可知，新加坡属于东南亚，所以在新加坡点头的意思是我听你说了。所以选D。

26．解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段中的"...all have caused many languages to disappear，and dominant languages such as English，Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over."可知，人类社会发展的很多因素导致许多语言消失，而逐渐被如英语、西班牙语、汉语等语言取代，这就暗示出这些语言是"占优势的"，故选C项powerful(强大的，有影响力的)。complex复杂的；advanced先进的；modern现代的。

27．解析：数字计算题。根据第三段中的"At present，the world has about 6,800
