Exercise 2: Read the paragraph about orientation week on campus, paying attention to the words in bold. Translate the passage into Chinese.
Last weekend, I joined an online forum to discuss differences between British and American English, and a funny misadventure shared by a netizen caught my eye. He said when he first traveled to London, he walked into a café and asked for "gas" to go with his ham sandwich— the waiter looked confused, and later he realized Brits call "gas" "petrol" and use "gas" only for cooking fuel. On his way back to the apartment, he tried to take the "subway" but ended up waiting at a wrong entrance; a local told him London’s "subway" is actually called "the tube," while "subway" there usually means an underground passage. He also mentioned that when he said he needed to take the "elevator" to his friend’s flat on the 5th floor, his friend laughed and said Brits prefer "lift." These small differences might seem trivial, but they can be confusing for people unfamiliar with both variants. Once, he even got lost because he mixed up "highway" (American) and "motorway" (British) when asking for directions— a kind policeman reminded him to pay attention to such context in daily contact. Though these mix-ups didn’t lead to negative results, they made him recognize how important it is to learn these regional terms to avoid odd misunderstandings.

Exercise 2:
上周末，我加入了一个在线论坛，讨论英式英语和美式英语的差异，一位网友分享的趣事让我印象深刻。他说自己第一次去伦敦旅行时，走进一家咖啡馆，想要点一份 “汽油” 配火腿三明治 —— 服务员听得一脸困惑。后来他才明白，英国人把 “汽油” 叫做 “petrol”，而 “gas” 在当地只表示烹饪用的燃气。
回公寓的路上，他想坐 “地铁”，却在错误的入口处等了半天。一位当地人告诉他，伦敦的 “地铁” 其实叫 “the tube”，而 “subway” 在当地通常指地下通道。他还提到，当自己说要坐 “电梯” 去朋友位于 5 楼的公寓套房（flat）时，朋友笑着说英国人更习惯用 “lift”。
这些小差异看似微不足道，却可能让不熟悉两种英语变体的人感到困惑。有一次，他甚至因为问路时把美式英语的 “公路”（highway）和英式英语的 “高速公路”（motorway）弄混而迷了路 —— 一位好心的警察提醒他，在日常交流中要留意这类语境（context）。虽然这些小误会没有造成负面后果，但也让他意识到，学习这些地区性词汇对避免奇怪（odd）的误解至关重要。

解析：句子描述 “不同文化中问候方式体现社会价值观” 这一客观事实，需用一般现在时；主语 “The way” 是单数第三人称，谓语动词 “reflect” 需遵循 “单数第三人称加 s” 的规则，故填 “reflects”。

解析：“three times” 体现 “提醒” 动作从过去开始、持续到现在，且对现在产生 “他仍忘记参会” 的影响，符合现在完成时 “动作与现在有联系” 的用法；主语 “We” 是复数，助动词用 “have”，“remind” 的过去分词为 “reminded”，故填 “have reminded”。

was intended
考查语法：一般过去时的被动语态
解析：主语 “The old photo” 与 “intend” 是被动关系（照片被用来记录瞬间），需用被动语态；动作发生在过去，故用一般过去时的被动语态 “was/were + 过去分词”；主语为单数，be 动词用 “was”，“intend” 的过去分词为 “intended”，故填 “was intended”。
Based
考查语法：非谓语动词（过去分词作状语）及固定搭配
解析：句子需非谓语动词作状语，“base” 与逻辑主语 “the company” 是被动关系（公司以数据为基础），故用过去分词表被动；且 “be based on” 是固定搭配（以…… 为基础），此处省略 “be” 动词，直接用 “Based”，故填 “Based”。
