Ⅰ.阅读理解
Culture shock or thinking differences can depress even the most experienced traveller. Remember that unlucky accidents with service providers may take place because of cultural or linguistic misunderstandings, and that getting angry will make communication more difficult and cause bad feelings. A taste of humour can make hard situations more meaningful and enjoyable to you, your fellow travellers and the local friends you've made.
Keep a journal or carry a small tape recorder and make regular entries or recordings. Taking a step back and telling an experience after some time will open the door to humour. Write a letter or e-mail to a friend when you find your humour reducing. Challenge yourself to tell at least one good story in this message and you'll be surprised how funny things can look when told to someone outside the situation.
Keep a list of funny things that you observe during your first few days in a new culture, and an explanation of what you think these things are all about. Look back on these lists later in the trip; what seemed strange before is probably familiar now, and your explanations may be funnier than the things themselves! Imagine writing an entry in a guidebook about a frustrating experience. How would you describe your experience to the later travellers What travel advice would you offer
Try to see yourself through the eyes of locals. What might they find strange, funny about what you are doing at this moment When you find it difficult to overcome cultural differences, taking a new look at yourself can be very funny. Be careful not to sacrifice (牺牲) respect for local culture in order to lighten things up for yourself and fellow travellers.
语篇解读：幽默可以使由于文化差异而给旅行者造成的不良情形得以改观。本文给那些要旅游而且希望变得幽默的人提出了3条建议。

A．being short of money
B．the different attitudes to the same thing
C．not having enough clothes
D．the unlucky fellow travellers' trouble
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第一句“Culture shock or thinking differences can depress even the most experienced traveller.”可知，文化冲击和思维的差异会使旅行者不快乐。故选B。
2．When you try to keep your sense of humour in foreign countries, you should ________.
A．tell anything that you find entertaining
B．learn to respect the local customs
C．know how to overcome cultural differences
D．try to tell anything particularly funny
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“Be careful not to sacrifice (牺牲) respect for local culture in order to lighten things up for yourself and fellow travellers.”可知，要尊重当地的传统文化。故选B。
3．We can infer that ________.
A．the funny things will be always interesting and never change
B．the funny things would always make people happy
C．if the people didn't experience the things, they would find them funny
D．the things seemed strange before they are surely becoming the familiar things
解析：选C 推理判断题。根据文章第二段最后一句中的“... you'll be surprised how funny things can look when told to someone outside the situation.”可知，没有经历过那些事情的人会发现它们很有趣。故选C。
4．The text is intended for ________.
A．the performers who act in the music hall
B．the actors who often act in the theatre
C．the travellers who are experienced
D．the travellers who want to be humorous
解析：选D 推理判断题。通览全文可知，文章就是为那些要旅游而且希望变得幽默的人写的。故选D。

Paragraph 2：
“Let's rewrite the true Seven Wonders in your heart, kids，” the teacher said.Everyone spoke with one voice on the suggestion.Very quickly, the students handed in their papers, with their eyes sparkling with happiness.Answers on these papers were so various and sincere: “my parents”， “playing with my dog Spotty”， “the sunshine”， “to be able to fly” ...Looking at all kinds of answers, the teacher was surprised that the students' thinking was so rich.Meanwhile, she was glad they had got such a valuable lesson.UNIT 3 课时跟踪检测（三） 阅读写作融会练

In England recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited.About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along.They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them.People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way.Someone shouted at them.The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about.The three foreigners seemed all at_sea and looked embarrassed (窘迫的)．No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus.
Learning the language of a country isn't enough.If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country.You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own.A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table.The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself.Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree.But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement.Nodding your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty.
语篇解读：本文主要向我们介绍了英国人的乘车习惯，并进一步向我们介绍了不同国家肢体语言的内涵。

C．have enough time and money
D．make friends with the people there
解析：选B 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句 “If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country.” 可知， 我们到国外旅行时， 应该对所要旅游的国家的礼仪和风俗有所了解， 故选B。
3．What does the underlined phrase “at sea” probably mean

First established as a state capital in 229 CE, Nanjing, China, has long been one of the country's most important (and largest) inland river ports and is recognized as one of the Four Great Ancient Capitals of China.
Why do people love it
__1__Xuanwu Lake provides a peaceful escape right in central Nanjing, with temples, teahouses and restaurants located in nearby Xuanwu Lake Park.

In England recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited.About five minutes later, the bus they wanted came along.They were just going to get on when suddenly there was a loud noise behind them.People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way.Someone shouted at them.The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about.The three foreigners seemed all at_sea and looked embarrassed (窘迫的)．No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus.
Learning the language of a country isn't enough.If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country.You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own.A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table.The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself.Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn't agree.But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement.Nodding your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty.
1．The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because the gentlemen ______.
A．were foreigners
B．didn't have tickets
C．made a loud noise
D．didn't line up for the bus

There is more of a connection between food and culture than you may think.On an individual level, we grow up eating the food of our culture.It becomes a part of who we are.Many associate food from our childhood with warm feelings and good memories and it ties us to our families, holding a special and personal value for us.Food from our family often becomes the comfort food we seek as adults in times of frustration and stress.
On a large scale, traditional food is an important part of culture.It also operates as an expression of culture identity.Immigrants bring it wherever they go, and it is a symbol of pride for their culture and means of coping with homesickness.
Many immigrants open their own restaurants and serve traditional dishes.However, the food does not remain exactly the same.Some materials needed to make traditional dishes may not be readily available, so the taste and flavor can be different from what they would prepare in their home countries.Additionally, immigrants do not only sell dishes to people from the same countries as them, but to people from different countries.Therefore, they have to make small changes about the original dishes to cater to a wider range of customers.Those changes can create new flavors that still keep the cultural significance of the dishes.
We should embrace our heritage (传统) through our culture's food but also become more informed about other cultures by trying their food.It is important to remember that each dish has a special place in the culture to which it belongs, and is special to those who prepare it.Food is a window into culture, and it should be treated as such.

In the world of Chinese archaeology(考古学), a sign of a dig's importance is the sight of Zhou Mingsheng at work. A field technician who has worked at archaeological sites all around China. Master Zhou is credited with the gentlest touch in his profession. Born into a farming family, he is a “national-level craftsman” with a talent for using simple tools to get relics (遗物) that would crumble in other hands, says his current boss, Wang Xu, director of an archaeological site at Shuanghuaishu, a Neolithic (新石器时代的) settlement near the Yellow River in the central province of Henan.
It is not beauty that attracts visitors to Shuanghuaishu. At 5,300 years old, the settlement is the work of a culture too simple to have left behind many buried treasures. The single most precious find, to date, is a finger-length sculpture of a silkworm. Nor is the setting lovely: an area surrounded by deafening insects, between a highway and two power stations. Rather, the site's importance is historical. For since the birth of Chinese archaeology in the 1920s, it has been inseparable from claims that China has the oldest unbroken civilisation on Earth.
Leading archaeologists say that the site has the right combination of location, age and distinctive cultural elements to be the capital of an early Chinese kingdom. That would make it a bridge between China's written history and the era of the Yellow Emperor, who is said to rule over these central plains almost 5,000 years ago, though many foreign scholars doubt his existence. Chinese media call the site proof of China's 5,000 years of history.
Foreigners complain about a lack of written records, Mr Wang notes. Perhaps they are missing symbols that will one day be understood, for instance in patterned pottery. Outsiders “can't keep using Western standards to apply to Chinese ruins，” he argues.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了河南双槐树新石器时代遗址，它可以为中华五千年的存在提供证据。
8．What does the underlined word “crumble” in Paragraph 1 mean
A．Break. B．Start.
C．Wait. D．Shine.
解析：选A 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“Master Zhou is credited ...in other hands”可知，周师傅是“国家级工匠”，善于用简单的工具获取文物，而这些文物在其他人手里很容易破碎。故画线词的意思是“破碎”。
9．Why does Shuanghuaishu attract visitors
A．It has appealing scenery.
B．It has various precious treasures.
C．It is of great historical significance.
D．It is easily accessible.
解析：选C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Rather, the site's importance is ... unbroken civilisation on Earth.”可知，双槐树吸引游客是因为它具有重大的历史意义。
10．What is Mr Wang's attitude towards foreigners' view
A．Unconcern. B．Disapproving.
C．Supportive. D．Not mentioned.
解析：选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，王先生对外国人的态度是反对的。
11．What does the passage mainly talk about
A．Chinese history amazes the world.
B．Chinese archaeology catches on.
C．China follows its tradition.
D．China digs its past.
解析：选D 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段可知，双槐树遗址证明了中华五千年文明的存在。所以短文主要内容是关于中国挖掘它的过去。

Both large and small businesses often have a global reach.If you have foreign customers or lead tours internationally, cultural differences and communication problems can cause misunderstandings that harm your company's bottom line.__1__ An awareness of potential problems can help you communicate better and grow your business internationally.
Appreciating Cultural Values
Communication problems often come from basic differences in values between cultures.For example, Latin American and Asian cultures often communicate as much through facial expression and tone of voice as through words.On the other hand, English-speaking and Germanic cultures normally state the intended meaning explicitly.__2__ For example, in Japan and the UK people tend to avoid the outward show of feelings, while the United States, France and Italy accept a stronger show of emotions, even in business.
Dressing for International Success
__3__ For example, in Muslim countries, women must avoid sleeveless tops, short skirts and low necklines.In Japan, conservative business suits in dark colors are essential to make the best impression.When new to a culture, observe what others wear for business.
Going Face to Face
You can unknowingly cause offence when meeting foreign customers one-on-one.In Japan, you should bow rather than shake hands unless the other party offers a hand first.__4__ In Arab countries, you should accept the card with your right hand, while in China and Japan you should use both hands.
Meeting Expectations
Following local customs builds better relationships at business meetings.For example, in Japanese meetings, often only the most senior person for each side talks, while others typically remain silent.In China, business dinners often include many toasts, so pace your drinking accordingly.Remember to keep the respect of Asian contacts.__5__
A．Dressing styles can differ in different regions.
B．Some cultures have strict dress codes for business.
C．Try speaking slowly and clearly in these circumstances.
D．Avoid etiquette (礼仪) mistakes that cause you to lose face.
E．Another difference among cultures is the importance of emotion.
F．The exchange of business cards is a requirement in many cultures.
G．So familiarize yourself with the local laws and customs of any country you visit.
语篇解读：本文主要从几个方面说明了不同国家的商业文化存在的差异。
1．选G 根据上文的“...cultural differences and communication problems can cause misunderstandings that harm your company's bottom line.”可知，文化差异和交流问题会造成误会，这些误会会损害公司的底线。G项“所以你要熟悉将要访问的国家当地的法律和习俗”承接上文。故选G。
2．选E 根据下文 “For example, in Japan and the UK people tend to avoid the outward show of feelings, while the United States, France and Italy accept a stronger show of emotions, even in business.”可知，日本人和英国人会避免公开表露情感，而美国人、法国人和意大利人即使是在商务往来中也能接受直接的情感表达方式。由关键词emotions可知，E项 “文化间的另一个区别是情感的重要性”符合语境。故选E。
3．选B 根据下文“...in Muslim countries, women must avoid sleeveless tops, short skirts and low necklines.In Japan, conservative business suits ...”可知，本段主要讲一些国家对商务着装有严格的要求。故选B。
4．选F 根据下文的“In Arab countries, you should accept the card with your right hand, while in China and Japan you should use both hands.”可知，此处主要讲不同国籍的人交换名片的问题。由关键词card可知，F项“交换商务名片是许多文化中的一项要求”符合语境。故选F。
5．选D 本段主要讲在商务会议上要注意不同国家的习俗。D项“避免出现让你丢面子的礼仪失误”符合语境。故选D。UNIT 3 课时跟踪检测（一） 阅读理解专项练

In the world of Chinese archaeology(考古学), a sign of a dig's importance is the sight of Zhou Mingsheng at work. A field technician who has worked at archaeological sites all around China. Master Zhou is credited with the gentlest touch in his profession. Born into a farming family, he is a “national-level craftsman” with a talent for using simple tools to get relics (遗物) that would crumble in other hands, says his current boss, Wang Xu, director of an archaeological site at Shuanghuaishu, a Neolithic (新石器时代的) settlement near the Yellow River in the central province of Henan.
It is not beauty that attracts visitors to Shuanghuaishu. At 5,300 years old, the settlement is the work of a culture too simple to have left behind many buried treasures. The single most precious find, to date, is a finger-length sculpture of a silkworm. Nor is the setting lovely: an area surrounded by deafening insects, between a highway and two power stations. Rather, the site's importance is historical. For since the birth of Chinese archaeology in the 1920s, it has been inseparable from claims that China has the oldest unbroken civilisation on Earth.
Leading archaeologists say that the site has the right combination of location, age and distinctive cultural elements to be the capital of an early Chinese kingdom. That would make it a bridge between China's written history and the era of the Yellow Emperor, who is said to rule over these central plains almost 5,000 years ago, though many foreign scholars doubt his existence. Chinese media call the site proof of China's 5,000 years of history.
Foreigners complain about a lack of written records, Mr Wang notes. Perhaps they are missing symbols that will one day be understood, for instance in patterned pottery. Outsiders “can't keep using Western standards to apply to Chinese ruins，” he argues.
8．What does the underlined word “crumble” in Paragraph 1 mean
A．Break. B．Start.
C．Wait. D．Shine.
9．Why does Shuanghuaishu attract visitors
A．It has appealing scenery.
B．It has various precious treasures.
C．It is of great historical significance.
D．It is easily accessible.
10．What is Mr Wang's attitude towards foreigners' view
A．Unconcern. B．Disapproving.
C．Supportive. D．Not mentioned.
11．What does the passage mainly talk about
A．Chinese history amazes the world.
B．Chinese archaeology catches on.
C．China follows its tradition.
D．China digs its past.
