阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
I came across quite a few language problems while spending holiday with my family last summer. The most embarrassing was when my Mom apologized to the people we were staying with because her “pants were dirty”. They looked at her in surprise, not knowing how to react. You see, Mom had fallen over and gotten mud on her jeans. But in Britain, “pants” means underpants or knickers (内裤;衬裤), not trousers as it does back home.
Katie — From America
I went to stay with a friend on the west coast last summer. Her flat was on the first floor of a high-rise building so I got the lift up. Then I wandered round for ages looking for her flat but couldn’t find it. Fed up and tired, I finally had to go out to find a phone box. She explained that her flat was on the first floor, which for me meant the ground floor.
David — From Britain
When I asked for the “restroom” in a big department store, people kept directing me to a room with seats where I could sit and “rest”. It took me years to get through to (使...明白)someone that I only wanted the toilet!
Tom — From America
1．Hearing Katie’s mother’s words, Katie’s friends were in surprise because ________.
A．Katie’s mother got mud on her jeans B．Katie’s mother’s underpants were dirty
C．they mistook pants for underpants D．they didn’t understand British English
2．David went out to find a phone box to ________.
A．phone the police for help B．phone his friend for help
C．tell his friend he couldn’t visit her D．apologize for his being late
3．When Tom asked for the “restroom”, the people around him thought ________.
A．he wanted to have a rest B．he wanted to go to the toilet
C．he wanted to go to bed D．He wanted to go to a department store
B
Did you know that all human beings have a “comfort zone” regulating the distance they stand from someone when they talk This distance varies in interesting ways among people of different cultures.
Greeks, some of the Eastern Mediterranean, and many of those from South America normally stand quite close together when they talk, often moving their faces even closer as they warm up in a conversation. North Americans find this awkward and often back away a few inches. Studies have found that they tend to feel most comfortable at about 21 inches apart. In much of Asia and Africa, there’s even more space between two speakers in conversation. This greater space subtly lends an aim of dignity and respect. This matter of space is nearly always unconscious, but it is interesting to observe.
This difference applies also to the closeness with which people sit together, the extent to which they lean over one another in conversation, how they more as they argue or make an emphatic point. In the United States, for example, people try to keep their bodies apart even in a crowded elevator, in Paris they take it as it comes!
Although North Americans have a relatively wide “comfort zone” for talking, they communicate a great deal with their hands - not only with gesture but also with touch. They put a sympathetic hand on a person’s shoulder to demonstrate warmth of feeling, or an arm him in sympathy; they pat an arm in reassurance (放心) or stroke a child’s head in fondness; they readily take someone’s arm to help him across a street or direct him along an unfamiliar route. To many people — especially those from Asia or the Moslem (穆斯林) countries - such bodily contact is unwelcome, especially if done with the left hand. The left hand carries no special significance in the US. Many Americans are simple left and use that hand more.
4．What would most probably happen when a Greek meets a North American
A．The Greek keeps 12 inches apart from the North American.
B．The Greek can keep comfortable distance with the North American.
C．The North American accepts the Greek distance when they become friends.
D．The North American keeps backing away while the Greek keeps moving closer.
5．Which of the following statements is true about the people in the United States
A．They tend to keep the bodily space unconsciously.
B．Their sense of distance has nothing to do with dignity or respect.
C．They avoid any bodily contact in communicating.
D．Their communication cannot be carried out without hand gesture.
6．It can be inferred from the passage that the Frenchmen prefer ______.
A．to move closer when they communicate
B．to use more body language to interact with others
C．to sit farther apart when they talk in a large room
D．to have physical contact in a crowded elevator
7．Touching with the left hand is regarded as ______ in the Moslem countries.
A．a meaningless gesture B．an offensive act
C．a sincere greeting D．an incomprehensible joke
C
John “Charlie” Veron-widely known as “the Godfather of Coral Reef (珊瑚礁)”-is a celebrated expert who has personally discovered nearly a quarter of the world’s coral species and has spent the past 45 years diving Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. But now the 73-year-old is raising the alarm about its future. The Great Barrier Reef, one of the natural wonders, is 2, 300 kilometers long and is the only living organism that can be seen from space. It is considered a World Treasure Site due to its biodiversity (生物多样性)with 30 species of whales, dolphins and sharks. Within the reef itself, there are also a number of tiny organisms and fishes.
However, its health is threatened. After the recent mass bleaching (白化)events, Veron dived in many areas of the Great Barrier Reef to see the damage for himself. “I was seeing and feeling it and it was absolutely shocking, ” he says.
Veron says the mass bleaching events in the past few years-and the possibility of losing one of nature’s greatest treasures-were a wake-up call for the world in the wider battle against climate change, which, together with the rising sea temperature, is considered the greatest threats to the reef.
Fortunately, earlier this year, the Australian government announced nearly 400 million dollars in new funding towards scientific projects designed to help the reef.
There has been criticism in Australia about the slow process for the funding. “It won’t be wasted, though,”Veron says. “As scientists will be able to create a sort of seed bank to protect the species until the climate is good enough to rebuild the reef. What the scientists hope to do is to help nature along a bit after the big carbon dioxide increase is over and it starts to come down.”
8．Why is the Great Barrier Reef considered a treasure site
A．It is a natural wonder.
B．It can be seen from space.
C．It has a rich variety of species.
D．It is home to a great many fishes.
9．What does the passage mainly tell us
A．Climate change is threatening biodiversity.
B．The Great Barrier Reef is in danger of extinction.
C．Scientists have found major factors in the reef’s blenching.
D．Veron has made great contributions to environmental protection.
10．What's Veron's attitude to the future of the reef according to the last paragraph
A．Uncaring. B．Doubtful. C．Uncertain. D．Positive.
11．What is the text
A．A news report. B．A travel guide.
C．A research plan. D．A journal entry.
D
One thing that sets humans apart from other members of the animal kingdom is our tendency to develop customs and traditions. Here are some astonishing customs from around the world.
An odd custom associated with the United States is its complicated tipping culture. Unlike many other countries that don’t tip at all or that only tip in small amounts when the food is particularly good, tipping is actually mandatory at most restaurants in the US. To put it another way, customers have a duty to leave between 10-20 percent of the bill in tips. Wait staff rely on these tips for a living because legal wages for waiters are low. Furthermore, there are rules for tipping bartenders, delivery people and other service personnel. While some criticize this practice as irrational, there’s no doubt that tipping culture in the US gives an incentive for waiters and waitresses to provide better service.
Some countries find the act of pointing with the index finger to be rude. While members of most cultures would probably agree that pointing fingers, both literally and figuratively, isn’t exactly the nicest thing in the world, in countries like Malaysia and Indonesia, this gesture can be seen as incredibly offensive. Instead, it is customary to gesture towards things with the thumb as this is seen as a more polite option. In many countries in Africa, pointing is reserved for inanimate objects only, not people.
Most societies around the world have rules about table manners. For western cultures, noisily consuming food is considered rude. In Japan, however, making slurping(啧啧响的)sounds while eating has an entirely different meaning. This might have something to do with the fact that in western countries, noodles are properly consumed by twirling(缠绕)them on a spoon before putting them in the mouth. Meanwhile, the Japanese simply slurp up their noodles without contorting them first, an act that is naturally noisier than the former. Making slurping sounds when eating noodles in Japan is a way of indicating that you’re rely enjoying them. Some scientists even argue slurping invites air into the mouth and actually enhances the noodles’ flavor.
12．What does the underlined word “mandatory” in paragraph2 probably mean
A．Required by tradition. B．Highly spoken of.
C．Changeable over time. D．Popular among people.
13．What does the author think of tipping
A．It is totally unreasonable. B．It must follow a fixed standard.
C．It can improve the quality of service. D．It should only target waiters and waitresses.
14．Which practice is acceptable according to the text
A．Skipping tipping in the USA． B．Twirling noodles on a spoon in Africa.
C．Pointing with the index finger in Indonesia. D．Making sounds while eating noodles in Japan.
15．Where is this text probably taken from
A．A research paper. B．A travel brochure.
C．An online advertisement. D．A popular magazine.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Psychologists tell us that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture .This process, which helps us to deal with culture shock, is the way our brain and our personality react to the strange new things we encounter when we move from one culture to another .
Culture begins with the “honeymoon stage”. ____16____ .We are thrilled to be in the new environment, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and language, eating new kinds of food. ____17____.
____18____ .After we have settled down into our new life , we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland, our family, friends, and even pets. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture. This period of cultural adjustment can be very difficult and lead to the new arrival rejecting or pulling away from the new culture .
The third stage is called the “adjustment stage”. ____19____ .Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor!
The fourth stage can be called “at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings. ____20____ .You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them.

第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Imagine meeting someone for the first time who comes from some distant country but is fluent in your language. There may appear to be no immediate communication___21___, so would you adapt the tone of your voice How about adjusting your body language and facial expressions, ___22___ on the background of the person in front of you Would you sit or stand differently and think carefully about your hand gestures
These are just a handful of the unobvious___23___ in behavior that indicate your “cultural intelligence,” or CQ. Now, there is growing evidence that suggests they are well worth learning.
“The top ___24___of your success in today’s borderless world is not your IQ, not your resume, and not even your expertise (专长),” writes social scientist David Livermore in his book The Cultural Intelligence Difference. “It’s your CQ.”
Much of the research on CQ has been conducted by Soon Ang, a professor of management at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Ang___25___ an international team of programmers to help solve problems.
These programmers were some of the brightest minds in the business, but Ang soon found that they have difficulty working ___26___. Often, individual members would appear to agree on a solution, but then carry it out in completely ___27___ways.
These findings led Ang to team up with British psychologist Christopher Earley. Together, they built a theory of CQ, which they defined as "the ability to function effectively in a variety of cultural ___28___.”
Typically, CQ is measured by evaluating four key components (组成). The first is “CQ Drive” — the___29___ to learn about other cultures. Then, there is “CQ Knowledge,” which is an understanding of some of the general cultural differences. “CQ Strategy,” meanwhile, examines how you ____30____those difficult conflicts and learn from them. Finally, “CQ Action” involves your behavioral flexibility (灵活) — whether you are able to ____31____your behavior like a “cultural chameleon (变色龙).”
Someone with ____32____ CQ might have a tendency to view everyone else’s behavior through his own cultural lens (文化透镜). If he comes from a more sociable environment, for instance, and notices that his Japanese colleagues are very ____33____ in a meeting, he may think that they are being unfriendly or bored. A person at the top of the scale, ____34____, might realize that silence is a sign of respect and that feedback won’t be given unless it is invited.
A high CQ could be essential in a wide range of careers, from bankers and soldiers to scientists and teachers — anyone, who regularly interacts with people from different backgrounds. Therefore, instead of just caring about your IQ and EQ, perhaps you should put _____35_____value on enhancing your CQ!
21．A．opportunities B．barriers (障碍) C．skills D．systems
22．A．depending B．agreeing C．insisting D．focusing

28．A．intentions B．contexts C．contents D．choices
29．A．motivation B．right C．promise D．ability
30．A．figure out B．take control of C．refer to D．break away from
31．A．explore B．respond C．adapt D．apply
32．A．low B．middle C．growing D．equivalent
33．A．tense B．talkative C．quiet D．ambitious
34．A．in addition B．after all C．by contrast D．in particular
35．A．equal B．inadequate C．unfamiliar D．practical

With economy development there comes a time when the old must give way to the new. ____36____ (keep) the right balance between progress and the protection of cultural sites can be ____37____ big challenge.
Big challenges, however, can sometimes lead to great solutions. In 1950s，the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam ____38____ the Nile. But water from the dam would ____39____ (possible) damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics. After ____40____ (listen) to the scientists and citizens, the government turned to the United Nations for help. After a process of ____41____ (prepare), finally a document ____42____ (sign), and the work began in 1960.
Temples and other cultural sites were taken down piece by piece, and then moved and put back in a place ____43____ they were safe from the water. In all, thousands of engineers and workers rescued 22 temples and ____44____ (count) cultural relics.
The project ended in 1980, it was considered a success. Not only had the countries found a path to the future, but they had also learned that ______45______ was possible for countries to work together to build a better tomorrow.

They don’t mean it
Our family moved here from China two years ago, and we thought we were pretty well adjusted to American ways. This year my parents decided to give a party on Chinese New Year and invite some of our American friends.
The party went pretty well. Our guests were amazed at the flavor of all the special foods. After the dinner, they thanked us for showing them what a real Chinese New Year dinner was like.
“I loved the dishes. You and the girls must have spent hours doing all the work!” Mrs. O’Meara said to my mother.
“The girls helped with the cutting and I’m sorry they did such a terrible job.” said Mother.
I heard a little gasp(倒吸气) from my friend Kim O’Meara, who stared wide-eyes at Mother. When I asked what the matter was, she told me she just didn’t understand why my mother said so.
I had to laugh. “She doesn’t mean it! It’s just the way she talks.”
Seeing her still confused look, I went on explaining, “In China, parents consider it good manners to deny praises about their children. Otherwise, it would be the same as bragging(自夸).” Kim seemed a little hesitant, but she nodded anyway.
That Easter, the O’Mearas invited our family for dinner. Mrs. O’Meara cooked a huge ham which we enjoyed a lot. As Mrs. O’Meara started cutting up the cake for dessert, Mother said, “I’m not sure if I can eat one more bite. That was the best ham I’ve ever tasted!”
“Aw, that ham was terrible,” said Kim. “I bet you could do a lot better, Mrs. Yang.”

43．考查定语从句。句意：寺庙和其他文化遗址被一块一块地拆除，然后转移到一个远离水的地方。句中先行词为place，在定语从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词where引导。故填where。
44．考查形容词。句意：成千上万的工程师和工人总共拯救了22座寺庙和无数的文物。修饰名词cultural relics，前用形容词形式。形容词countless，表示“无数的”。故填countless。
45．考查代词。句意：这些国家不仅找到了通往未来的道路，而且还认识到，各国有可能共同努力，建设一个更美好的明天。本句为宾语从句，从句中用it作形式主语，真正的主语为不定式to work together to build a better tomorrow。故填it。

47．There was a stunned(震惊的) silence around the table. Kim was on the receiving end of a cold stare from Mrs. O’Meara, whose face reddened with embarrassment. I was also shocked at my friend’s mean remark. Clearing my throat, I finally asked, “What made you talk like that to your mother ” Kim whirled around, seemingly furious“But you were the one who told me that saying nice things about your own family was the same as bragging!” she stuttered. “I was just trying to act modest!”
I finally knew how Kim had misunderstood what I had said.“Listen, Kim,” I took her hands in mine to calm her down, “Chinese parents might say critical things about their children to show modesty but young people are always expected to be respectful to the elders.” Hearing this, Kim sighed deeply, her cheeks flushed. The awkward silence was soon dispelled as the misunderstanding was erased. Drooping her head, Kim apologized for her impolite behavior. Mrs. O’Meara winked at her, joking, “That’s all right. We know you didn’t mean it!”

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
I came across quite a few language problems while spending holiday with my family last summer. The most embarrassing was when my Mom apologized to the people we were staying with because her “pants were dirty”. They looked at her in surprise, not knowing how to react. You see, Mom had fallen over and gotten mud on her jeans. But in Britain, “pants” means underpants or knickers (内裤;衬裤), not trousers as it does back home.
Katie — From America
I went to stay with a friend on the west coast last summer. Her flat was on the first floor of a high-rise building so I got the lift up. Then I wandered round for ages looking for her flat but couldn’t find it. Fed up and tired, I finally had to go out to find a phone box. She explained that her flat was on the first floor, which for me meant the ground floor.
David — From Britain
When I asked for the “restroom” in a big department store, people kept directing me to a room with seats where I could sit and “rest”. It took me years to get through to (使...明白)someone that I only wanted the toilet!
Tom — From America
1．Hearing Katie’s mother’s words, Katie’s friends were in surprise because ________.
A．Katie’s mother got mud on her jeans B．Katie’s mother’s underpants were dirty
C．they mistook pants for underpants D．they didn’t understand British English
2．David went out to find a phone box to ________.
A．phone the police for help B．phone his friend for help
C．tell his friend he couldn’t visit her D．apologize for his being late
3．When Tom asked for the “restroom”, the people around him thought ________.
A．he wanted to have a rest B．he wanted to go to the toilet
C．he wanted to go to bed D．He wanted to go to a department store
B
Did you know that all human beings have a “comfort zone” regulating the distance they stand from someone when they talk This distance varies in interesting ways among people of different cultures.
Greeks, some of the Eastern Mediterranean, and many of those from South America normally stand quite close together when they talk, often moving their faces even closer as they warm up in a conversation. North Americans find this awkward and often back away a few inches. Studies have found that they tend to feel most comfortable at about 21 inches apart. In much of Asia and Africa, there’s even more space between two speakers in conversation. This greater space subtly lends an aim of dignity and respect. This matter of space is nearly always unconscious, but it is interesting to observe.
This difference applies also to the closeness with which people sit together, the extent to which they lean over one another in conversation, how they more as they argue or make an emphatic point. In the United States, for example, people try to keep their bodies apart even in a crowded elevator, in Paris they take it as it comes!
Although North Americans have a relatively wide “comfort zone” for talking, they communicate a great deal with their hands - not only with gesture but also with touch. They put a sympathetic hand on a person’s shoulder to demonstrate warmth of feeling, or an arm him in sympathy; they pat an arm in reassurance (放心) or stroke a child’s head in fondness; they readily take someone’s arm to help him across a street or direct him along an unfamiliar route. To many people — especially those from Asia or the Moslem (穆斯林) countries - such bodily contact is unwelcome, especially if done with the left hand. The left hand carries no special significance in the US. Many Americans are simple left and use that hand more.
4．What would most probably happen when a Greek meets a North American
A．The Greek keeps 12 inches apart from the North American.
B．The Greek can keep comfortable distance with the North American.
C．The North American accepts the Greek distance when they become friends.
D．The North American keeps backing away while the Greek keeps moving closer.
5．Which of the following statements is true about the people in the United States
A．They tend to keep the bodily space unconsciously.
B．Their sense of distance has nothing to do with dignity or respect.
C．They avoid any bodily contact in communicating.
D．Their communication cannot be carried out without hand gesture.
6．It can be inferred from the passage that the Frenchmen prefer ______.
A．to move closer when they communicate
B．to use more body language to interact with others
C．to sit farther apart when they talk in a large room
D．to have physical contact in a crowded elevator
7．Touching with the left hand is regarded as ______ in the Moslem countries.
A．a meaningless gesture B．an offensive act
C．a sincere greeting D．an incomprehensible joke
C
John “Charlie” Veron-widely known as “the Godfather of Coral Reef (珊瑚礁)”-is a celebrated expert who has personally discovered nearly a quarter of the world’s coral species and has spent the past 45 years diving Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. But now the 73-year-old is raising the alarm about its future. The Great Barrier Reef, one of the natural wonders, is 2, 300 kilometers long and is the only living organism that can be seen from space. It is considered a World Treasure Site due to its biodiversity (生物多样性)with 30 species of whales, dolphins and sharks. Within the reef itself, there are also a number of tiny organisms and fishes.
However, its health is threatened. After the recent mass bleaching (白化)events, Veron dived in many areas of the Great Barrier Reef to see the damage for himself. “I was seeing and feeling it and it was absolutely shocking, ” he says.
Veron says the mass bleaching events in the past few years-and the possibility of losing one of nature’s greatest treasures-were a wake-up call for the world in the wider battle against climate change, which, together with the rising sea temperature, is considered the greatest threats to the reef.
Fortunately, earlier this year, the Australian government announced nearly 400 million dollars in new funding towards scientific projects designed to help the reef.
There has been criticism in Australia about the slow process for the funding. “It won’t be wasted, though,”Veron says. “As scientists will be able to create a sort of seed bank to protect the species until the climate is good enough to rebuild the reef. What the scientists hope to do is to help nature along a bit after the big carbon dioxide increase is over and it starts to come down.”
8．Why is the Great Barrier Reef considered a treasure site
A．It is a natural wonder.
B．It can be seen from space.
C．It has a rich variety of species.
D．It is home to a great many fishes.
9．What does the passage mainly tell us
A．Climate change is threatening biodiversity.
B．The Great Barrier Reef is in danger of extinction.
C．Scientists have found major factors in the reef’s blenching.
D．Veron has made great contributions to environmental protection.
10．What's Veron's attitude to the future of the reef according to the last paragraph
A．Uncaring. B．Doubtful. C．Uncertain. D．Positive.
11．What is the text
A．A news report. B．A travel guide.
C．A research plan. D．A journal entry.
D
One thing that sets humans apart from other members of the animal kingdom is our tendency to develop customs and traditions. Here are some astonishing customs from around the world.
An odd custom associated with the United States is its complicated tipping culture. Unlike many other countries that don’t tip at all or that only tip in small amounts when the food is particularly good, tipping is actually mandatory at most restaurants in the US. To put it another way, customers have a duty to leave between 10-20 percent of the bill in tips. Wait staff rely on these tips for a living because legal wages for waiters are low. Furthermore, there are rules for tipping bartenders, delivery people and other service personnel. While some criticize this practice as irrational, there’s no doubt that tipping culture in the US gives an incentive for waiters and waitresses to provide better service.
Some countries find the act of pointing with the index finger to be rude. While members of most cultures would probably agree that pointing fingers, both literally and figuratively, isn’t exactly the nicest thing in the world, in countries like Malaysia and Indonesia, this gesture can be seen as incredibly offensive. Instead, it is customary to gesture towards things with the thumb as this is seen as a more polite option. In many countries in Africa, pointing is reserved for inanimate objects only, not people.
Most societies around the world have rules about table manners. For western cultures, noisily consuming food is considered rude. In Japan, however, making slurping(啧啧响的)sounds while eating has an entirely different meaning. This might have something to do with the fact that in western countries, noodles are properly consumed by twirling(缠绕)them on a spoon before putting them in the mouth. Meanwhile, the Japanese simply slurp up their noodles without contorting them first, an act that is naturally noisier than the former. Making slurping sounds when eating noodles in Japan is a way of indicating that you’re rely enjoying them. Some scientists even argue slurping invites air into the mouth and actually enhances the noodles’ flavor.
12．What does the underlined word “mandatory” in paragraph2 probably mean
A．Required by tradition. B．Highly spoken of.
C．Changeable over time. D．Popular among people.
13．What does the author think of tipping
A．It is totally unreasonable. B．It must follow a fixed standard.
C．It can improve the quality of service. D．It should only target waiters and waitresses.
14．Which practice is acceptable according to the text
A．Skipping tipping in the USA． B．Twirling noodles on a spoon in Africa.
C．Pointing with the index finger in Indonesia. D．Making sounds while eating noodles in Japan.
15．Where is this text probably taken from
A．A research paper. B．A travel brochure.
C．An online advertisement. D．A popular magazine.

阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Psychologists tell us that there are four basic stages that human beings pass through when they enter and live in a new culture .This process, which helps us to deal with culture shock, is the way our brain and our personality react to the strange new things we encounter when we move from one culture to another .
Culture begins with the “honeymoon stage”. ____16____ .We are thrilled to be in the new environment, seeing new sights, hearing new sounds and language, eating new kinds of food. ____17____.
____18____ .After we have settled down into our new life , we can become very tired and begin to miss our homeland, our family, friends, and even pets. All the little problems in life seem to be much bigger and more disturbing when you face them in a foreign culture. This period of cultural adjustment can be very difficult and lead to the new arrival rejecting or pulling away from the new culture .
The third stage is called the “adjustment stage”. ____19____ .Your sense of humor usually becomes stronger and you realize that you are becoming stronger by learning to take care of yourself in the new place. Things are still difficult, but you are now a survivor!
The fourth stage can be called “at ease at last”. Now you feel quite comfortable in your new surroundings. ____20____ .You may still have problems with the language, but you know you are strong enough to deal with them.

第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分）
第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）
阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Imagine meeting someone for the first time who comes from some distant country but is fluent in your language. There may appear to be no immediate communication___21___, so would you adapt the tone of your voice How about adjusting your body language and facial expressions, ___22___ on the background of the person in front of you Would you sit or stand differently and think carefully about your hand gestures
These are just a handful of the unobvious___23___ in behavior that indicate your “cultural intelligence,” or CQ. Now, there is growing evidence that suggests they are well worth learning.
“The top ___24___of your success in today’s borderless world is not your IQ, not your resume, and not even your expertise (专长),” writes social scientist David Livermore in his book The Cultural Intelligence Difference. “It’s your CQ.”
Much of the research on CQ has been conducted by Soon Ang, a professor of management at the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Ang___25___ an international team of programmers to help solve problems.
These programmers were some of the brightest minds in the business, but Ang soon found that they have difficulty working ___26___. Often, individual members would appear to agree on a solution, but then carry it out in completely ___27___ways.
These findings led Ang to team up with British psychologist Christopher Earley. Together, they built a theory of CQ, which they defined as "the ability to function effectively in a variety of cultural ___28___.”
Typically, CQ is measured by evaluating four key components (组成). The first is “CQ Drive” — the___29___ to learn about other cultures. Then, there is “CQ Knowledge,” which is an understanding of some of the general cultural differences. “CQ Strategy,” meanwhile, examines how you ____30____those difficult conflicts and learn from them. Finally, “CQ Action” involves your behavioral flexibility (灵活) — whether you are able to ____31____your behavior like a “cultural chameleon (变色龙).”
Someone with ____32____ CQ might have a tendency to view everyone else’s behavior through his own cultural lens (文化透镜). If he comes from a more sociable environment, for instance, and notices that his Japanese colleagues are very ____33____ in a meeting, he may think that they are being unfriendly or bored. A person at the top of the scale, ____34____, might realize that silence is a sign of respect and that feedback won’t be given unless it is invited.
A high CQ could be essential in a wide range of careers, from bankers and soldiers to scientists and teachers — anyone, who regularly interacts with people from different backgrounds. Therefore, instead of just caring about your IQ and EQ, perhaps you should put _____35_____value on enhancing your CQ!

Big challenges, however, can sometimes lead to great solutions. In 1950s，the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam ____38____ the Nile. But water from the dam would ____39____ (possible) damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics. After ____40____ (listen) to the scientists and citizens, the government turned to the United Nations for help.

They don’t mean it
Our family moved here from China two years ago, and we thought we were pretty well adjusted to American ways. This year my parents decided to give a party on Chinese New Year and invite some of our American friends.
The party went pretty well. Our guests were amazed at the flavor of all the special foods. After the dinner, they thanked us for showing them what a real Chinese New Year dinner was like.
“I loved the dishes. You and the girls must have spent hours doing all the work!” Mrs. O’Meara said to my mother.
“The girls helped with the cutting and I’m sorry they did such a terrible job.” said Mother.
I heard a little gasp(倒吸气) from my friend Kim O’Meara, who stared wide-eyes at Mother. When I asked what the matter was, she told me she just didn’t understand why my mother said so.
I had to laugh. “She doesn’t mean it! It’s just the way she talks.”
Seeing her still confused look, I went on explaining, “In China, parents consider it good manners to deny praises about their children. Otherwise, it would be the same as bragging(自夸).” Kim seemed a little hesitant, but she nodded anyway.
That Easter, the O’Mearas invited our family for dinner. Mrs. O’Meara cooked a huge ham which we enjoyed a lot. As Mrs. O’Meara started cutting up the cake for dessert, Mother said, “I’m not sure if I can eat one more bite. That was the best ham I’ve ever tasted!”
“Aw, that ham was terrible,” said Kim. “I bet you could do a lot better, Mrs. Yang.”

47．There was a stunned(震惊的) silence around the table. Kim was on the receiving end of a cold stare from Mrs. O’Meara, whose face reddened with embarrassment. I was also shocked at my friend’s mean remark. Clearing my throat, I finally asked, “What made you talk like that to your mother ” Kim whirled around, seemingly furious“But you were the one who told me that saying nice things about your own family was the same as bragging!” she stuttered. “I was just trying to act modest!”
I finally knew how Kim had misunderstood what I had said.“Listen, Kim,” I took her hands in mine to calm her down, “Chinese parents might say critical things about their children to show modesty but young people are always expected to be respectful to the elders.” Hearing this, Kim sighed deeply, her cheeks flushed. The awkward silence was soon dispelled as the misunderstanding was erased. Drooping her head, Kim apologized for her impolite behavior. Mrs. O’Meara winked at her, joking, “That’s all right. We know you didn’t mean it!”
