【大题提能】
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys
The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences.To the Egyptians, green is a color that represents the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven.Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures.In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year.For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs.Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils.
People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions toward them.Each color has its own function (功能).Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites (食欲).Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant.Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eye.
Blue is a calming color.Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite.So if you want to eat less, some people suggest that eating from blue plates can help.Green is said to be the most restful color.It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically.People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches.
The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.

B
Several years ago, Jeremy Clarkson, presenter of the famous BBC television programme Top Gear， discovered that one of his guests was half German and half Irish.Immediately, he said，“That’s quite a strange combination.It’s like, this must be done absolutely perfectly...tomorrow”.
This is a joke about the stereotype (刻板印象) that Germans are efficient and Irish are lazy.Many people could understandably be offended by these kinds of assertions (断言).We do not know every Irish person, so how can we then conclude that every Irish person is lazy
I recently read on a website that Irish business people were described as being “generally rather casual” and “more outwardly friendly than many European countries”.German business people, on the other hand, are considered to be very direct and according to the website, they do not need a personal relationship in order to do business.Once you hear advice like this, it becomes easier to understand where jokes like the one in the first paragraph come from.
So why do some people disagree with the kind of stereotypes as seen in Clarkson’s joke, but agree when it comes to generalizations (概括) What is the difference between the two
By definition, a stereotype is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing.A cultural characteristic, on the other hand, is a pattern of behaviour that is typical of a certain group.
So what does this really mean Stereotypes are simply overstated assumptions about groups of people.Imagine if a tourist visited a small town in Switzerland and saw a number of locals playing the alphorn instrument, and then claimed that Swiss people can play the alphorn.This would be a stereotype! This is an overstated image of the Swiss which is based on one tourist’s experience.
If, however, this tourist were to say that the Swiss are very punctual, this could be seen as a cultural characteristic.This is because it is a pattern of behaviour which is very typical in Switzerland: from their transport system to their business meetings.
In this way, some people argue that generalizing another culture is not just useful, but important.Politicians always have to be mindful of the cultural characteristics of different countries.By becoming aware of different cultural characteristics, they can avoid causing offence in those cultures.
However, others argue that generalizing cultures will always lead to offensive stereotypes.They argue that the best thing we can do is to stop generalizing cultures and start treating people as individuals.
All this raises important questions: Can making generalizations about groups of people be a positive thing Or should we always avoid making broad assumptions about different groups
【语篇解读】 本文是议论文。文章主要以“是否要对民族特性或群体特性作概括”为话题进行了讨论。
5.When he said “It’s like, this must be done absolutely perfectly...tomorrow”， Jeremy Clarkson really meant ________.
A.the stereotypes of the Germans and the Irish are not so good
B.the combination of half German and half Irish is interesting
C.the characteristics of the Germans and the Irish are opposite
D.the Germans will do it perfectly tomorrow while the Irish won’t.
√
解析 句意理解题。根据第二段内容“This is a joke about the stereotype that Germans are efficient and Irish are lazy.”可知，大家对于德国人的印象是“高效率”，对于爱尔兰人的印象是“懒惰”。基于对这两国家人的刻板印象，他用“absolutely perfectly”对应德国人的“高效率”，用“tomorrow”对应爱尔兰人的“懒惰”，这是一个矛盾的奇怪的结合。因此可知，他真正想表达的是“德国人和爱尔兰人的特点正好相反”。
6.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A.It’s typical of the Swiss to be punctual.
B.The Irish people are considered as lazy, direct and casual.
C.The Germans are thought to be efficient, friendly and direct.
D.The Swiss people can play the alphorn.
解析 正误判断题。根据文章第七段内容“If, however, this tourist were to say that the Swiss are very punctual...from their transport system to their business meetings.”可知，守时是瑞士人典型的文化特征。
√
7.Politicians think it important to generalize another culture because ________.
A.they don’t want to offend other people
B.generalizing will lead to offensive stereotypes
C.cultural characteristics are better than stereotypes
D.they should treat people as individuals
解析 细节理解题。根据文章第八段内容“By becoming aware of different cultural characteristics, they can avoid causing offence in those cultures.”可知，通过了解不同国家的文化特点，政治家们可以避免冒犯别人。
√
8.What’s the main purpose of this passage
A.To show the importance of making generalizations.
B.To show it is wrong to play jokes on stereotypes of different people.
C.To tell us the differences between stereotypes and cultural characteristics.
D.To discuss whether it is good to make generalizations about groups of people.
解析 写作意图题。通过阅读文章内容可知，文章首段用一个笑话抛出了关键词“the stereotype (刻板印象) ”，并在后文用举例的方式讲述了其普遍存在性，其带来的沟通交往方面的意义，尤其通过文章末尾段内容进行了主旨总结，即文章主要讨论了是否需要民族性或群体性文化概括，这是积极的还是令人不愉快的。因此可推知，这篇文章的主要目的是讨论对群体进行概括是否有益。
√
Ⅱ.七选五
In the Arab world, a souk is a market usually held in an open－air location.Souks are an important part of life in the Middle East.__1__ Another attraction of souks is that they offer visitors a great opportunity to feel the local culture.
Most major souks probably started as informal meetings of merchants (商人) in open spaces, which slowly developed into more formal markets.__2__ For example, some souks have partial ceilings (天花板) to protect against bad weather, along with narrow streets which do not permit cars.
Everything from glassware to meat can be found at a souk，with merchants coming from nearby areas to sell their products.__3__ So visitors can easily find beautiful artworks in all shapes and sizes at a souk, often at very reasonable prices.
__4__ By tradition, shoppers at a souk must negotiate (协商) with shopkeepers to reach a price.For large items, customers will have to sit down with the shopkeeper.They will be offered tea and snacks while the price, including storage and delivery costs sometimes, is discussed.
If you happen to be traveling in the Middle East, just pay a visit to a souk.Some regions have famous markets with a long and interesting history, and a souk is a great place to get souvenirs.You can find a local guide for your visit to ensure that you know local cultural rules well.__5__
A.Europeans prefer to pay the list price.
B.Many countries in the Middle East have long artistic traditions.
C.That will certainly allow you a more enjoyable day at the market.
D.People may be shocked at the long process of making a deal at souks.
E.There are many cultural differences between the West and the Middle East.
F.Nowadays, souks make special designs to create a customer－friendly environment.
G.Many visitors to the Middle Eastern countries enjoy going to souks to buy great goods.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。中东的露天市场销售各种各样的特色产品，在这里游客可以更好地感受当地的文化。
1.G [根据后文“Another attraction of souks is that...to feel the local culture.”可知，此处强调露天市场的另一个吸引人的地方是感受当地文化，前文应该与此呼应指出露天市场吸引人的地方，与此处构成并列。G选项与下文呼应，指出人们可以在露天市场买到好东西。]
2.F [根据后文“For example, some souks have partial ceilings (天花板) to protect against...which do not permit cars.”可知，此处通过例子解释露天市场做一些特别的设计来为顾客创造良好的环境。F选项引起下文，符合语境。]
3.B [根据后文的“So visitors can easily find...often at very reasonable prices.”可知，在此处游客可以轻易买到各种形状和大小的精美艺术品，前文应该解释其原因，即为什么游客们可以买到精美艺术品。B选项与下文构成因果关系，符合语境，指出因为中东许多国家都有悠久的艺术传统，所以在这里能够买到各种形状和大小的精美艺术品，符合语境。]
4.D [根据后文“By tradition, shoppers at a souk must negotiate (协商)with shopkeepers to reach a price.”以及“They will be offered tea and snacks...is discussed.”可知，本段主要讨论的是漫长的交易过程。D选项引出后文，指出购买商品的漫长过程能够让人们感到震惊。]
5.C [根据前文“You can find a local guide for your visit to ensure that you know local cultural rules well.”可知，此处强调在逛露天市场的时候，找一位当地导游的好处。C选项承接前文，指出在导游的引领下，能够让你了解当地的文化规则，因此可以让你在露天市场中度过愉快的一天，符合语境。]

UNIT 4 HISTORY AND TRADITIONS
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
America is a mobile society.Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change.Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while—then no more.If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship.This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flow more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life.They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time.This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time.Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend.We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends.The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine.They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus.And they expect that we will phone them from there.Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for pure business matters.So accept their hospitality at home!

√
B
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.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了沉默在不同的文化中所代表的含义。
5.What does the author say about silence in conversations
A.It implies anger.
B.It promotes friendship.
C.It depends on culture.

【大题提能】
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Compared with some other parts of the world，Canada is not a country with a lot of particularly flashy traditions—which isn’t to say none exist.In general，it’s the aging process，and the various “key dates” that occur as a Canadian moves from babyhood to adulthood that tend to be the most celebrated and ritualized(仪式化了的) moments in mainstream Canadian culture.
Canadian couples will generally announce their pregnancy with great pride to friends and family as soon as they’re aware，and it’s common for girlfriends of the expecting mother to organize a baby shower—a small，light－hearted house party—to honour the new mom sometime before she gives birth.Shortly after the child is born，it’s similarly customary for friends of the parents to visit and give at least one baby gift，usually a toy or clothes，to express congratulations.
If there’s one thing Canadians love celebrating，it’s the anniversary(周年纪念日) of their own birth.In recent years，birthdays have risen to become one of the most tradition－rich spectacles of Canadian culture.During childhood，most parents will arrange birthday parties for their children on the special day (or the closest available weekend)，a fun excuse for the birthday boy or girl to gather up all their schoolyard friends and spend the afternoon hanging out.In their teenage years and adulthood，they begin to take greater control over their own birthday plans.
Completing a period of school in Canada is almost always celebrated with a fancy graduation ceremony.In their final year of high school (and sometimes middle school as well)，students will celebrate the completion of their studies with some sort of party organized by the school，usually known as “grad night”.These usually take the form of a fancy dress party held at a local hotel，complete with a dinner，dancing and lots of awkwardly－posed photographs.
【语篇解读】 本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了加拿大庆祝出生、生日和毕业的传统习俗。
1.Which is a birth tradition in Canada
A.Holding a baby shower by the elders.
B.Visiting the newly－born with a present.
C.Keeping the pregnancy a secret to others.
D.Gathering friends and relatives for a party.
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，在加拿大，孩子出生后，父母的朋友会带着礼物去祝贺。根据第二段第一句可知，A项和C项错误；D项是庆祝生日的传统。
√
2.What do we know about birthday celebrations in Canada
A.Adults don’t celebrate their own birthdays.
B.The parties are always planned by parents.
C.They are popular among Canadian families.
D.They are only held on that very day of birth.
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段第一、二句可知，庆祝生日是非常受加拿大人欢迎的传统习俗。
√
3.What preparation might students need to do for their graduation ceremony
A.They need to organize a party.
B.They need to complete a study.
C.They need to learn photography.
D.They need to wear special clothes.
解析 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句可知，学生需要在毕业典礼上穿特殊服装。
√
4.How does the author organize the description of Canadian traditions
A.From general features to specific.
B.According to regional differences.
C.By comparing traditions worldwide.
D.In the order of a child’s growth process.
解析 写作手法题。根据第一段中的“In general，it’s the aging process，and the various ‘key dates’ that occur as a Canadian moves from babyhood to adulthood...”以及全文的组织方式可知，本文是以一个人成长过程的顺序来介绍加拿大的传统习俗的。

Ⅱ.七选五
I came to Russia to study in the winter last year.My university is located in Moscow, the capital of Russia, which is a city with a long history.
The second I stepped out of the airport, I immediately felt how freezing cold it was outside compared to China.__1__ When I saw the main building of Moscow State University, I was deeply shocked by its beautiful architecture with its about 270－year－long history.Sensing how utterly small I was in front of this majestic building, I felt the crystallization (结晶) of human wisdom resonate within me.
__2__ What it means is that the snow and ice won’t melt until April of the following year.Just like the melting snow, I gradually overcame the difficulties of studying abroad and came to adjust to my new environment.
The first challenge was the language barrier.After learning Russian in China, I realized that my skills were nowhere near enough.I was not fluent in Russian, sometimes causing misunderstandings.__3__ For example, in Russia, everyone intentionally stands on the right side when taking the escalator, which takes time for me to get used to.
However, the artistic atmosphere in Russia is very strong.__4__ Tickets for those places, concerts and cultural events here are relatively cheap, making it easy to enrich my life on weekends.
In a nutshell, living abroad means overcoming all kinds of difficulties.The experience will always leave a colorful shade in my life.Just as the old Chinese saying goes, “It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.”__5__
A.Obviously, the freezing climate does not agree with me.
B.Starting from early November each year, the snow season in Moscow is very long.
C.Take a look at the outside world while you are young!
D.I can visit many of the attractions that I used to see in my textbooks and performances I used to watch only on TV.
E.Thanks to the abundant activities I get to explore what I’ve learned in practical contexts and improve my language proficiency.
F.And the buildings surrounding me looked so different from the ones in China too.
G.The cultural differences were also hard to deal with at first.
【语篇解读】 本文是记叙文。作者在俄罗斯留学，感受到异国他乡的文化与习俗。
1.F [根据上文“The second I stepped out of the airport...compared to China.”可知，此处是描写作者走出机场感受到的俄罗斯和中国的差异，F项符合语境，下文“When I saw the main building of Moscow State University...with its about 270－year－long history.”也提及了俄罗斯的建筑。]
2.B [下文“What it means is that the snow and ice won’t melt until April of the following year.”中的it指代空处内容，所以空处和俄罗斯的雪有关，B项“从每年11月初开始，莫斯科的雪季很长”符合语境。]
3.G [下文“For example, in Russia, everyone intentionally stands on the right side...for me to get used to.”提到作者需要时间来适应俄罗斯和中国的差异，G项符合语境。]
4.D [根据下文“Tickets for those places, concerts and cultural events here are relatively cheap”可知，空处应是提及作者去参观一些地方和参加活动，与下文“这些地方、音乐会和文化活动的门票相对便宜”衔接，D项符合语境。]
5.C [根据上文“It is better to travel ten thousand mile than to read ten thousand books.’”可知，本段是作者总结自己的留学经历，建议人们出去看看外面的世界，C项与上文语义一致。]
