In American culture, you may find some very sensitive topics that require you to think again before you put them forward. They are as follows:
Age. It is a very sensitive 1 to many Americans. In this culture, the thought of growing older is a painful one and most of us, if 2 , would like to have nothing to do with it. So many Americans work hard to 3 a youthful appearance. The last thing they want to be asked is the unthinkable, “How old are you exactly ”
This question may result in a(an) 4 like: “How old do you think I am ” Anyhow, if you are 5 to know someone’s age, first you estimate(估计)their age by their 6 . Then you take ten years away from that estimation. With a big 7 , that person will probably say, “Thanks, but I am a few years older than that.”
Weight. This is one of the most sensitive subjects. In America, it is 8 to be thin but it is a huge 9 to be overweight. In any American fashion magazines, you’ll notice most 10 are nothing more than skin and bones.
Income. You should never ever ask how much someone’s 11 is. However, it’s perfectly 12 to ask about their job title and what they do for a living. This information should give you some idea.
Matters of the Heart. This is a tricky (难处理的) one. Some people cannot wait to 13 their hearts out to you. Then there are those who make sure their 14 business stays behind closed doors. The general 15 is not to get too personal. You don’t want others to think that you are 16 their lives. 17 , try not to ask too many questions until you have a(an) 18 with this person.
Anyhow, it’s difficult to always 19 an embarrassing conversation. So, be sensible, 20 your mouth and try not to open a can of worms (虫子).

知识点: 议论文;单项选择型;社会现象类
解析: 1. subject“科目,主题,话题”。句意:年龄对于许多美国人来说是一个很敏感的话题。下文“Weight. This is one of the most sensitive subjects.”是提示。
2.if possible“如果可能的话”。句意:在美国文化中,一想到变老人们就会觉得很痛苦,而我们中的大多数人,如果可能的话,会不在意年龄大小。
3.keep“保持”。句意:美国人会努力保持年轻的容颜。
4.reply“回复,答复”。句意:这个问题可能会收到这样的答复:“你认为我多大了?”
5.be eager to do sth.“渴望做某事”。此处指如果你真的很渴望知道一个人的年龄。
6.此处指通过他们的外貌来估计他们的年龄。appearance“外貌,容貌”。
7.根据“that person will probably say, ‘Thanks, but I am a few years older than that.’ ”可知,当美国人被别人认为自己比实际年龄小的话会是很高兴的,因此选smile,with a smile指面带微笑,此处指美国人笑着说。
8.根据下文“In any American fashion magazines, you’ll notice most 10. are nothing more than skin and bones.”可知,美国人以瘦为美,因此此句句意为:在美国,人们都渴望变瘦,而如果一个人很胖,这将是很尴尬,很耻辱的。
9.见上题解析。
10.根据“American fashion magazines”可知,在时尚杂志上的模特都是瘦得皮包骨头。其他三个选项分别意为:歌手;编辑;作家;都不符合题意。
11.salary属于Income的原词复现,这两个词均意为“薪水,收入”。
12.前一句意为:你永远都不应该问一个人的薪水是多少。However表转折,说明此句意思和前一句相反,因此询问美国人他们的工作是合适的。
13.pour out“倾倒”。句意:有些人迫不及待将他们的心事吐露给你。
14.personal business“私事”。句意:而有些人会确保他们的私事得以保密。
15.general rule“基本原则”。句意:谈话的基本原则是不要谈论比较私人的事情。
16.look into“调查”。句意:你不希望别人认为你在调查他们的生活。
17.此句和前一句之间为顺承关系,故用Besides表示“另外”。
18.句意:除非你和这个人交了朋友,否则,别问太多问题。
19.句意:在谈话中经常避免尴尬的话题是困难的。
20.watch your mouth指注意你的言行。
点评:本文讲述了对美国人来说比较敏感的一些话题,比如:年龄,体重,薪水等等。因此,在同美国人谈话时要“三思而后行”。
Ⅳ.七选五阅读
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。
Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people 1. Yet a very young child – or even an animal, such as a pigeon, can learn to recognize faces. We all take this for granted.
___2.____ When we talk about someone’s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.
Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone’s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. ____3.____ But if you were asked to describe a “nice person”, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.
There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon Airport, an American psychologist, found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior. 4. Bookworms, conservatives, military types – people are described with such terms.
People have always tried to “type” each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain’s or the hero’s role. In fact, the words “person” and “personality” come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask”. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. 5.
A. If you were asked to describe what a “nice face” look like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so.
B. But we can easily tell the “good guys” from the “bad guys” because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.
C. We also tell people apart by how they behave.
D. People have difficulty in describing the features of fingerprints.
E. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing one`s personality.
F. Experts say that actors differ in their behavioral and physical characteristics in acting.
G. Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another.
答案:1.G 2.C 3.A 4.E 5.B
知识点: 信息回填/七选五
解析:1.空后的yet表转折,说明前后句意思相对。后句意思是“但是,一个很小的孩子,或者甚至是一只动物,比如一只鸽子,却能够辨认出不同的脸。我们都认为这种能力是理所当然的。”那么前句相应的应该是G选项“即使是一个技巧娴熟的作家也很可能无法描绘出能让一张脸区别于另一张脸的所有特征。”
2.空格处为第二段的总括,第二段讲的是当谈到某人的个性时,我们指的是这个人与众不同的行为,言谈,思想和感受。即我们也根据人们的行为区别不同的人。
3.根据前句But describing someone’s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. 和后句But if you were asked to describe a “nice person”, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth.可知此处应该是要讲如果有人让你描述一个“好脸”是什么样的,你很可能回答不上来。
4.根据前句found nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in people’s behavior.和后句Bookworms, conservatives, military types – people are described with such terms.可知此处应该是我们中的许多人用这些信息作为描绘某人的个性或给它分类的基础。
5.但是我们能很容易辨别好人和坏人,因为这两类人在外表和行为上都是不同的。
点评:文章主要讲述了我们有各种各样的方法来定义一个人,可以根据性格来定义,也可以根据其他条件来定义。条理清楚,做题时仔细观察前后句和前后段落即可正确地找出答案。
V.语法填空

It was a nice day. At 7:30 am, we gathered at the foot of Mount Tai and set out for the top in high spirits. Al the way we were chatting, singing and laughing, enjoying the fresh air and the beautiful scenery. When some fell behind, others would come and offer help. About 4 hours later, we all reached the top. Bathed in sunshine, we jumped and cheered with joy.
