Ever sonce 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 accomplished 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 of whole words are very picturesque 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 an 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.

6.B
因为原文主要就是在列举除了oral speech之外的各种交流方式.
A与原文不符,原文至少列举了oral speech,body language等多种交流方式.
C也与原文不符,原文只说外国人可以明白一些象形文字,但并非所有的nonlinguistic language都是invaluable的.
D在原文中没有提到fastest,而且文章最后一句话是并列结构,没有“一个比另一个更怎么怎么样”的意思.
7.D
A可以在第一句中找到,因为Ever since并且是现在完成时,表示多种多样的交流方式在现在依然存在.
B就是文章最后一句的前半句.
C是文章第二句.
D是文章第四句,"...,the deaf,and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression.",其中this form指的是前一句中的sigh language.
8.A
不看原文也知道,B,C,D都是通过视觉来传递信息的,怎么可能commonly used among blind people呢?
至于A,原文括号里提到a system of raised dots read with the fingertips,其实就是盲文,这种凸点是给盲人使用的.
9.C
这个肯定是中国那些BT老师出的题目,我可能会数错.
oral speech（口语）,spelling（拼写）,sign language（手语）,body language（肢体语言）,Braille（盲文）,signal flags（信号旗）,Morse code（莫尔斯码）,smoke signals（烽火信号）,road maps（地图）,picture sign（图片符号）.
Verbalization不算,因为verbalization = oral speech.
10.D
依据是"...,this expression of thoughts and feelings ......,communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for ...and ideas.Many of these symbols of whole words are ...; spelling,however,cannot."
一般来说,feelings是用oral speech传递的,但如果oral speech不行的话,那么sign language也可以传递,所以feelings是可以表现的.
"many of these symbols of whole words"明确地指出whole words等同于these symbols,而these symbols又等同于motion,motion又等同于sign language.所以sign language可以表达whole words.
"in which motions stand for ideas",which指代sign language,所以ideas可以包含在sign language里面.
spellings cannot后面省略的是"these symbols",这里的these指的是motion,而motion又和sign language等价.所以spellings是拿出来和sign language做对比,并不包含在sign language里面.
