试题分析：这篇短文主要介绍了各国常用的第二语言：手语。同时通过列举日常实例，说明其与肢体语言的不同。

1.考查动词及语境的理解。联系下文People, ---use it very often.（人们经常使用它）可知，有一种语言被世界上各个国家使用。故选B。是被动用法。

2.考查名词及语境的理解。联系上下文There is one language---（有一种语言---）及It is a sign language（是手语）可知，它是我们的第二语言。故应选C。

3.考查动词及语境的理解。结合下文though you can’t hear it.（虽然你听不见），但是它很容易理解。Write：写，say：说，express：表达，understand：理解。根据语境可知应选D。

4.考查动词及语境的理解。这里在于强调手语的使用。即当你向朋友挥手的时候，你就是在使用手语。故应选B。正使用的。

5.考查动词短语及语境的理解。句意为：当你在班上举手的时候---。look up：（在词典）查找 ，make up：编造，.put up：举起，take up：占用。根据句意可知，应选C。

6.考查动词及语境的理解。根据前文 I know the answer（我知道答案）并联系下文I have some questions to ---（我有一些问题要---）可知，应该是有问题要问。故应选A。

7.考查形容词及语境的理解。根据语境When you smile at someone（你向别人微笑的时候）可知，这是常识，是向别人表达一种友好的信号。be friendly to sb s 固定搭配，“对某人友好”的意思，故应选B。

8.考查形容词及语境的理解。quiet是形容词，常与系动词连用，表示保持安静的状态。根据语境，本句是祈使句，所以系动词用原形。故应选D。

9.考查动词及语境的理解。当交警要让汽车停下来的时候，他要举起右手（示意停车）。say：说，catch：抓住，stop：停止，prevent：阻止。根据语境可知，应选C。

10.考查语境的理解。根据语境，当需要安静或者充满吵闹声的时候，手语就很重要了。full： 充满，none：没有，made：制造，some ：一些。故应选A。

考点：科普类短文。
