完形填空•热考文体——夹叙夹议文(3) A (2023·河南一模)I still remember my father's sheepish expression at breakfast the morning after he'd been invited to have dinner at a colleague's house. __1__ arriving in Brazil, back in the dark ages, he'd __2__ his hosts by making a hand gesture which he had always understood to mean “OK”， but in Brazil, it meant something quite __3__. __4__， he'd raised his fingers to his __5__ and made a kissing sound, which again, he meant as a way of __6__ that something — in this case the meal he'd just been asked to __7__ — was delicious. The faux pas (失礼) was __8__ forgotten. My father's colleague and his wife understood he probably wasn't yet __9__ of the local meaning of the gesture. I was __10__ of this moment myself a few months into my stay in China. After ___11__ a colleague's message with a Van Gogh sticker that I thought meant “keep fighting”， a second colleague appeared. “The Chinese version is a bit different，” she said, taking out her phone. “See these __12__？” They mean “I will hit you”． Needless to say, I didn't use that __13__ Van Gogh again. Life is full of __14__ meanings. We generally understand that even if it stings, a mistake is only an insult when it is __15__. Yet as we look around, much friction originates from __16__， and history is full of the __17__ outcomes of crossed communication. My father's faux pas was __18__ because of context — he had just arrived, he could not know, and it didn't make sense that he'd be offensive by design. But when __19__ is missing or differently understood — perhaps it is time we all think twice before typing or talking, especially when the consequences can be much __20__ than the misuse of a sticker. 语篇解读：本文是夹叙夹议文。作者通过讲述自己和父亲的经历说明因为存在交叉的含义，我们在交流的时候应该三思而后行。 1．A.Gradually B．Freshly C．Eventually D．Originally 解析：选B　根据下文“he had just arrived, he could not know”可知，父亲刚刚到达巴西，不知道当地的文化，做了错误的手势冒犯了主人。freshly在此处意为“新近”。 2．A.offended B．annoyed C．frightened D．defeated 解析：选A　根据下文“by making ...quite ______”可知，作者的父亲
