[2024 江 苏 南通质检] The Sydney Opera House is one of the most famous landmarks (地标) in Australia. This summer holiday, I got the chance to visit it and find out what makes this building so great.
As our guide told us, the Sydney Opera House was built with a kind of self- cleaning material that is very rare even today.
First, we visited the Drama Theatre. We learnt about the designer of the Sydney Opera House— Danish architect J rn Utzon. He was the winner of an international design competition. However, he designed the building according to his own tastes, which caused several problems. The project was completed 10 years late. The cost of construction (建造) was over budget (预算). Utzon didn't get to see it after it was built.
Then, we visited Joan Sutherland Theatre. The theatre was refurbished ( 翻新) in 2017 with new high- tech equipment. There was a rehearsal (排练) that day, so we could hear the beautiful sound of the orchestra. Finally, we arrived at the largest theatre— the Concert Hall. It has hosted many kinds of performances, from classical to rock music. A few years ago, a sports event was even held there.
Before we finished the tour, the guide told us the rest of Utzon's story. In 1966, Utzon had an argument with the government over the building and refused to give in. He had to leave the country. It was a hard time in his life. But many years later, people understood him and saw the building as a masterpiece.
From this tour, I learnt that the opera house is not only a famous building, but a carrier of history and culture.

Many years ago, I had my first chance to visit Russia.“ Russians are very polite people.”I had been told before my arrival. One of my friends explained that a gentleman would pour the lemonade(柠檬汽水) for the ladies and show other good manners.
Towards the end of my three- week trip, I was invited by my Russian friend Nicolai Vasilevich and his wife Yulya out to dinner. At the end of a wonderful meal, Yulya asked if I would like a banana. I politely declined (婉拒) and thanked her, and explained I was most satisfied with the meal. But my mind was racing:“ What should I do Should I offer her a banana though it is as close to her as it is to me What is the polite thing to do ”
“Would you like a banana ”I asked Yulya.
“Yes,” she smiled, but didn't try to take any of the three bananas in the fruit basket.
“Which one would you like ”I asked again.
“That one,” she pointed at one of the bananas. So thinking about Russian politeness, I picked the banana Yulya had pointed at. Then I peeled it halfway and handed it to her. Smiles on Yulya's and Nicolai's faces told me I had done the right thing. After this experience, I spent much time letting the world know that in Russia, the polite thing was to peel bananas for ladies.
However, sometime during my third trip I learnt I was wrong.
“Oh no, David,”a Russian politely corrected me.“In Russia, when a man peels a banana for a lady, it means he has a romantic interest in her.” How embarrassed I felt!
So to communicate properly with people of different cultures, we should watch carefully how people of the same culture communicate with each other. Besides, don't be afraid to ask questions about their culture.

B. put something back
C. made something clean
D. cut something in two

A. The writer's third trip to Russia lasted about three weeks.
B. Russian gentlemen never peel bananas for ladies.
C. The writer tried to follow Russian behaviour in Russia.
D. Yulya was pleased with the writer's behaviour but Nicolai wasn't.
( )33. 新考法写作意图 The writer wrote the passage mainly to .
A. show us how polite Russian people are

C. ask us to care about cultural differences
D. remind us what we should do in Russia
