Ways to Improve Vocabulary in Just One Day
The average American has a vocabulary in the thousands. Try these tricks to make sure yours builds up.
Watch movies
“If you see the movie version of your favourite book you’re likely to have a deeper understanding and knowledge of the words in it,” says Neuman, professor of Childhood and Literacy Education at New York University. “Seeing and reading something on the same topic is really important.”
Read magazines
If you want to improve vocabulary, don’t just flip through your favourite magazine, really read it.
Listen to how words sound
Many people won’t remember tricky words unless they come across them frequently. But if you hear a word that you think sounds interesting, you become word conscious (有意识的) and start using it yourself, says Neuman.
Join a book club
“Book clubs are a wonderful strategy to learn new words,” says Neuman. Not only will it force you to set aside time in your day to read, but it’s also a good way to discover books you might not normally be drawn to.
Listen to the radio
Those types of programs can expose you to topics you may not be familiar with. Don’t miss these middle school vocabulary words adults still don’t know.
Pay attention to your surroundings
Next time walk down a busy street or take a walk in the park, try to describe what you’re seeing as much as possible inside your head.
Read, read, read
Even if you don’t stop to look up every single foreign word, chances are you can improve vocabulary simply by figuring out (想出) their meaning based on the context.
21. How many tricks mentioned above are through hearing
A. 1. B. 2. C. 3 D. 4.
22. According to the passage, how will you find some special and unusual books
A. By listening to the radio. B. By joining a book club.
C. By walking around. D. By watching movies.
23. Where does this passage probably come from
A. A novel. B. A science report. C. A sports magazine. D. A website.
B
When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect (尊敬) elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.
I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive (敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry. In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.
However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.
After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.
24. Jack brought the couple their food very fast because ______.
A. the manager asked him to do so B. he respected the elderly
C. the couple wanted him to do so D. he wanted more pay
25. When Jack called the couple “elderly”, they became ______.
A. Nervous B. satisfied C. unhappy D. excited
26. In Jack’s hometown, ______．
A. people dislike being called “old” B. people are proud of being old
C. many people reach the age of seventy or eighty D. the elderly are the first to get food in restaurants
27. After this experience, Jack ______.
A. lost his job in the restaurant B. made friends with the couple
C. no longer respected the elderly D. changed his way with older people
C
Culture shock occurs when people have been suddenly thrown into a new culture. Newcomers may be anxious because they don’t speak the language. Neither do they know the customs or understand the people’s behavior in daily life.
Quite often the visitor find that “yes” may not always mean “yes”, that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship, or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes. The foreigners may be unsure as when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The idea of culture shock helps explain feeling of puzzlement and confusion.
Language problems do not lead to all the setbacks that people feel. When one has lost everything that was once familiar such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register (注册，登记) for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.
When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to refuse everything about the new environment and may glorify and sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture. On the other side, more visitors may sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it.
28. The biggest barrier (障碍) people often meet with in a new country is____
A. the language B. the transportation
C. the environment D. the puzzlement
29. What do people feel when they are suddenly in a new culture
A. Excited. B. Delighted. C. Upset. D. Hopeless.
30. We can infer from the second paragraph that _______.
A. it’s impossible to get used to a new culture
B. people feel confused due to culture shock
C. foreigners often don’t mean what they say
D. most foreigners are usually quite humorous
31. The underlined expression “he or she feels like a fish out of water” in the last paragraph suggests ______.
A people away from their cultures can hardly survive in a new culture
B. a fish can not survive without water
C. people away from their culture experience mental loneliness.
D. people away from their culture have many difficulties in new environment
D
The meaning of silence can be different among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show uneasiness or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore, attempts may be made to fill every gap (间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied (暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts (冲突) among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority (权威) rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to understand the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing. Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing (治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
32. What does the author say about silence in conversations
A. It implies anger. B. It promotes friendship.
C. It depends on culture. D. It is based on context.
33. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought
A. The Chinese. B. The French. C. The Mexicans. D. The Russians.
34. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence
A. Let it continue as the patient wants. B. Break it while treating patients.
C. Evaluate (评估) its harm to patients. D. Make use of its healing effects.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Sound and Silence B. What It Means to Be Silent
C. Silence to Native Americans D. Speech Is Silver, Silence Is Gold

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。
Certainly, there are many non-verbal cues that have completely different meanings in different cultures. One of the most important means of non-verbal communication in any culture is eye contact.
Eye Contact in Western Europe
On the one hand, the European customs of eye contact—especially in such countries as Spain, France and Germany—are similar to those in the United States. It is considered proper and polite to keep almost continuous eye contact with another person. ____36____
On the other hand, Europeans often avoid eye contact in crowded public situations—such as while walking through a busy downtown or riding public transportation. ____37____ This may happen when he is interested in them and try to express his interest by making eye contact. Therefore, it is important for visitors to understand the full meanings of what they may be suggesting by returning the eye contact given by someone else.
Eye Contact in the Middle East
____38____ But they do have similarities in their rules for the proper eye culture. Eye contact is much less common and considered less proper in many of these cultures than it is considered in the United States. ____39____ These rules are connected to religious laws. Only a short moment of eye contact would be permitted between a man and a woman, if at all.
As you can see, it is important to know what eye contact communicates before you visit a new culture. ____40____ Learn how to use eye contact and other body language wisely so that you are regarded as polite, and so that you can better connect with people in a culture that is foreign to you!
A. Be careful not to make eye contact with women.
B. And this is especially true in business conversations.
C. Such a returning eye contact will be considered impolite.
D. All Middle Eastern cultures cannot be grouped into one class.
E. Before you travel, you’d better check out about the country you plan to visit.
F. Yet, in a country like France, a stranger may feel quite free to look at others.
G. What’s more, Middle Eastern cultures have strict rules regarding eye contact between the sexes.

【原文】M: Roger is so intelligent. He thinks for himself. He’s a hard worker. He has good ideas and he doesn’t follow the crowd.
W: So why does he do so badly in his exams
M: Because he suffers from anxiety. He lacks confidence. His brain is so active and he thinks too much. When it comes to exams, his intelligence actually works against him.
W: I wish we could help him. It seems so unfair that a person’s future can be determined by how well they perform on one particular day.
M: It is unfair — but life is unfair. We must try to help him by showing him how to keep calm in stressful situations.
W: How do we do that I can’t say that I’m exactly an expert at dealing with stress, although I am better at it than I used to be.
M: I can help him. I always think that exercise is a great way for dealing with stress and anxiety. When you have exhausted yourself while doing exercise, you don’t have the energy to be nervous.
W: That is so right! I always feel calm after working out in the gym.

Ways to Improve Vocabulary in Just One Day
The average American has a vocabulary in the thousands. Try these tricks to make sure yours builds up.
Watch movies
“If you see the movie version of your favourite book you’re likely to have a deeper understanding and knowledge of the words in it,” says Neuman, professor of Childhood and Literacy Education at New York University. “Seeing and reading something on the same topic is really important.”
Read magazines
If you want to improve vocabulary, don’t just flip through your favourite magazine, really read it.
Listen to how words sound
Many people won’t remember tricky words unless they come across them frequently. But if you hear a word that you think sounds interesting, you become word conscious (有意识的) and start using it yourself, says Neuman.
Join a book club
“Book clubs are a wonderful strategy to learn new words,” says Neuman. Not only will it force you to set aside time in your day to read, but it’s also a good way to discover books you might not normally be drawn to.
Listen to the radio
Those types of programs can expose you to topics you may not be familiar with. Don’t miss these middle school vocabulary words adults still don’t know.
Pay attention to your surroundings
Next time walk down a busy street or take a walk in the park, try to describe what you’re seeing as much as possible inside your head.
Read, read, read
Even if you don’t stop to look up every single foreign word, chances are you can improve vocabulary simply by figuring out (想出) their meaning based on the context.
21. How many tricks mentioned above are through hearing
A. 1. B. 2. C. 3 D. 4.
22. According to the passage, how will you find some special and unusual books
A. By listening to the radio. B. By joining a book club.
C. By walking around. D. By watching movies.
23. Where does this passage probably come from
A A novel. B. A science report. C. A sports magazine. D. A website.
【答案】21. B 22. B 23. D

When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect (尊敬) elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.
I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive (敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry. In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.
However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.
After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.
24. Jack brought the couple their food very fast because ______.
A. the manager asked him to do so B. he respected the elderly
C. the couple wanted him to do so D. he wanted more pay
25. When Jack called the couple “elderly”, they became ______.
A. Nervous B. satisfied C. unhappy D. excited
26. In Jack’s hometown, ______．
A. people dislike being called “old” B. people are proud of being old
C. many people reach the age of seventy or eighty D. the elderly are the first to get food in restaurants
27. After this experience, Jack ______.
A. lost his job in the restaurant B. made friends with the couple
C. no longer respected the elderly D. changed his way with older people
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. B 27. D

C
Culture shock occurs when people have been suddenly thrown into a new culture. Newcomers may be anxious because they don’t speak the language. Neither do they know the customs or understand the people’s behavior in daily life.
Quite often the visitor find that “yes” may not always mean “yes”, that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship, or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes. The foreigners may be unsure as when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The idea of culture shock helps explain feeling of puzzlement and confusion.
Language problems do not lead to all the setbacks that people feel. When one has lost everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register (注册，登记) for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.
When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to refuse everything about the new environment and may glorify and sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture. On the other side, more visitors may sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it.
28. The biggest barrier (障碍) people often meet with in a new country is____
A. the language B. the transportation
C. the environment D. the puzzlement
29. What do people feel when they are suddenly in a new culture
A. Excited. B. Delighted. C. Upset. D. Hopeless.
30. We can infer from the second paragraph that _______.
A. it’s impossible to get used to a new culture
B. people feel confused due to culture shock
C. foreigners often don’t mean what they say
D. most foreigners are usually quite humorous
31. The underlined expression “he or she feels like a fish out of water” in the last paragraph suggests ______.
A. people away from their cultures can hardly survive in a new culture
B. a fish can not survive without water
C. people away from their culture experience mental loneliness.
D. people away from their culture have many difficulties in new environment
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。当人们突然被投入到一种新的文化中时，就会发生文化冲击。本文对文化冲击现象进行了简要介绍。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Newcomers may be anxious because they don’t speak the language. Neither do they know the customs or understand the people’s behavior in daily life.(新来的人可能会因为不会说这种语言而感到焦虑。他们既不了解风俗习惯，也不了解人们在日常生活中的行为)”可知，人们到了一个新的国家，最大的障碍是语言。故选A项。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Newcomers may be anxious because they don’t speak the language. (新来的人可能会因为不会说这种语言而感到焦虑)”可知，当人们突然进入一种新的文化中时，他们会感到不安。故选C项。

推理判断题。根据第二段“The foreigners may be unsure as when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger.(外国人可能不确定什么时候握手，什么时候开始交谈，或者如何接近陌生人)”可推知，人们因文化冲击而感到困惑。故选B项。
【31题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段划线句下文“Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture(新来的人有时会觉得自己不属于这个文化，并感到被这个文化的本土成员抛弃)”可知，“he or she feels like a fish out of water(他或她感觉像离开水的鱼)”指的是“远离自己文化的人会经历精神上的孤独”。故选C项。
D
The meaning of silence can be different among cultural groups. Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say. A silence in a conversation may also show uneasiness or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore, attempts may be made to fill every gap (间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied (暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts (冲突) among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority (权威) rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care-givers need to understand the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily. A nurse who understands the healing (治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
32. What does the author say about silence in conversations
A. It implies anger. B. It promotes friendship.
C. It depends on culture. D. It is based on context.
33. Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought
A. The Chinese. B. The French. C. The Mexicans. D. The Russians.
34. What does the author advise nurses to do about silence
A. Let it continue as the patient wants. B. Break it while treating patients.
C. Evaluate (评估) its harm to patients. D. Make use of its healing effects.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text
A. Sound and Silence B. What It Means to Be Silent
C. Silence to Native Americans D. Speech Is Silver, Silence Is Gold
【答案】32. C 33. A 34. D 35. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了沉默在不同的文化中所代表的含义。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“The meaning of silence can be different among cultural groups.(在不同的文化群体中，沉默的含义是不同的)”和“Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore, attempts may be made to fill every gap (间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.(沉默可能被一些文化群体视为极其不舒服；因此，可以尝试用对话来填补每一个空白。其他文化群体的人看重沉默，认为沉默是理解一个人需求的必要条件)”可知，作者认为沉默是有文化属性的，在不同的文化中沉默的含义不同，故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied (暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.(许多印第安人重视沉默，认为这是人与人之间交流的基本组成部分，就像一些传统的中国人和泰国人一样。因此，当一个来自这些文化的人正在讲话时，突然停下来，可能是在暗示这个人希望听者在继续之前考虑一下他说了什么。在这些文化中，沉默意味着需要反思)”可知，中国人会把沉默看作是需要仔细思考，故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一句“A nurse who understands the healing (治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.(了解沉默的治疗价值的护士可以利用这种理解来帮助照顾来自自己和其他文化的病人)”可知，作者建议护士利用沉默的治愈价值，故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“The meaning of silence can be different among cultural groups.(在不同的文化群体中，沉默的含义是不同的)”可知，文章主要介绍了沉默在不同的文化中所代表的含义。B项“沉默是什么意思”为最佳标题，故选B。
第二节(共 5 小题;每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分)
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。
Certainly, there are many non-verbal cues that have completely different meanings in different cultures. One of the most important means of non-verbal communication in any culture is eye contact.
Eye Contact in Western Europe
On the one hand, the European customs of eye contact—especially in such countries as Spain, France and Germany—are similar to those in the United States. It is considered proper and polite to keep almost continuous eye contact with another person. ____36____
On the other hand, Europeans often avoid eye contact in crowded public situations—such as while walking through a busy downtown or riding public transportation. ____37____ This may happen when he is interested in them and try to express his interest by making eye contact. Therefore, it is important for visitors to understand the full meanings of what they may be suggesting by returning the eye contact given by someone else.
Eye Contact in the Middle East
____38____ But they do have similarities in their rules for the proper eye culture. Eye contact is much less common and considered less proper in many of these cultures than it is considered in the United States. ____39____ These rules are connected to religious laws. Only a short moment of eye contact would be permitted between a man and a woman, if at all.
As you can see, it is important to know what eye contact communicates before you visit a new culture. ____40____ Learn how to use eye contact and other body language wisely so that you are regarded as polite, and so that you can better connect with people in a culture that is foreign to you!
A. Be careful not to make eye contact with women.
B. And this is especially true in business conversations.
C. Such a returning eye contact will be considered impolite.
D. All Middle Eastern cultures cannot be grouped into one class.
E. Before you travel, you’d better check out about the country you plan to visit.
F. Yet, in a country like France, a stranger may feel quite free to look at others.
G. What’s more, Middle Eastern cultures have strict rules regarding eye contact between the sexes.
【答案】36. B 37. F 38. D 39. G 40. E
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了不同文化中眼神交流文化的不同。
【36题详解】
根据上文“On the one hand, the European customs of eye contact—especially in such countries as Spain, France and Germany—are similar to those in the United States. It is considered proper and polite to keep almost continuous eye contact with another person.(一方面，欧洲人眼神交流的习俗——尤其是在西班牙、法国和德国等国家——与美国人相似。与他人保持几乎不间断的目光接触被认为是恰当和礼貌的)”可知，上文提到了欧洲人与他人保持几乎不间断的目光接触被认为是恰当和礼貌的，本句为本段最后一句，应承接上文说明这一习俗的应用。故B选项“在商务对话中尤其如此”符合语境，故选B。
【37题详解】
根据上文“On the other hand, Europeans often avoid eye contact in crowded public situations—such as while walking through a busy downtown or riding public transportation.(另一方面，欧洲人在拥挤的公共场合往往会避免眼神接触，比如在穿过繁忙的市中心或乘坐公共交通工具时)”以及后文“This may happen when he is interested in them and try to express his interest by making eye contact. Therefore, it is important for visitors to understand the full meanings of what they may be suggesting by returning the eye contact given by someone else.(这可能发生在他对她们感兴趣的时候，他试图通过眼神交流来表达他的兴趣。因此，对于游客来说，通过回应别人的眼神交流来理解他们所暗示的全部含义是很重要的)”可知，后文提到了通过眼神交流来表达他的兴趣，可知本句与上文“避免眼神接触”构成转折关系，指出有些国家的人喜欢眼神交流，故F选项“然而，在像法国这样的国家，一个陌生人可以很自由地看别人”符合语境，故选F。
【38题详解】
根据标题“Eye Contact in the Middle East(中东的眼神交流)”以及后文“But they do have similarities in their rules for the proper eye culture. Eye contact is much less common and considered less proper in many of these cultures than it is considered in the United States.(但在正确的眼神文化方面，他们确实有相似之处。在这些文化中，目光接触远没有在美国那么常见，也被认为不太恰当)”可知，本段主要说明的是中东的眼神交流，D选项中Middle Eastern对应标题Middle East。故D选项“所有的中东文化不能归为一类”符合语境，故选D。
【39题详解】
根据后文“These rules are connected to religious laws. Only a short moment of eye contact would be permitted between a man and a woman, if at all.(这些规则与宗教法律有关。男女之间如果有眼神交流的话，也只允许很短的时间)”可知，本句旨在说明中东文化关于男女眼神交流的规定，G选项中rules对应后文中These rules。故G选项“更重要的是，中东文化对男女之间的眼神交流有严格的规定”符合语境，故选G。
【40题详解】
根据上文“As you can see, it is important to know what eye contact communicates before you visit a new culture.(正如你所看到的，在你访问一个新的文化之前，了解眼神交流是很重要的)”以及后文“Learn how to use eye contact and other body language wisely so that you are regarded as polite, and so that you can better connect with people in a culture that is foreign to you!(了解如何明智地使用眼神交流和其他身体语言，这样你就会被认为是有礼貌的，这样你就可以更好地与那些对你来说是陌生文化的人交流！)”可知，上文提到了眼神交流的重要性，后文说明了要了解如何明智地使用眼神交流和其他身体语言，可见在去旅行前要了解一下你计划去的国家。故E选项“在你旅行之前，你最好了解一下你计划去的国家”符合语境，故选E。
