Passage 2
Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize(强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries—like the UK or France— people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office. Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead, there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural (多元文化的) environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.
( )1. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _____.
A. the English prefer to make long speeches
B. too many words are of no use
C. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature
D. even talk and silence can be culturally different
( )2. According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better
A. By sharing different ways of life.
B. By accepting different habits.
C. By recognizing different values.
D. By speaking each other’s languages.
( )3. What does the underlined word “present” mean in the passage
A. appeared B. gift C. now D. existed
( )4. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. Relationship of trust is necessary in business.
B. In all countries, people express meanings mainly through words.
C. Cultural differences can cause serious problems.
D. Better understanding of the different values will offer a wonderful chance for us to
learn from each other.
( )5. What would be the best title for the text
A. Multicultural Environment B. Cross-cultural Differences
C. How to Understand Each Other D. How to Build Up a Relationship

Passage 2
Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.
Different cultures emphasize(强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries—like the UK or France— people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office. Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead, there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural (多元文化的) environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.

3. 潘爱莹的包被抢发生在星期六晚上，联系倒数第二段的第二句However, as she left her home on Sunday morning, Pan found her stolen bag lying in the courtyard.可知，被抢的包归还的时间是星期日早晨。由此可知潘爱莹的包丢失的时间大约有12个小时。故选B。
4. 由最后一段的I’ll correct my ways and be an honest person可知，这个年轻人认识到了自己的过错，不会再偷东西了。故选A。
5. 联系上下文可知，当小偷抢了潘爱莹的包后，她并没有急于报警，而是发短信好言相劝其归还自己的包，前一句她猜测小偷一定正处于困惑中，由if so可知，她可以理解小偷的处境，由此可推断她将不会责怪小偷，即blame在句中意为“指责”，选项中criticize与其同义。故选C。

【答 案】1～5 BCABD
【解 析】
1. B 推理判断题。根据短文第1段的“In 1904 Brom was born in a poor family...”和第2段的“By the time he retired, he was 80 years old.”可知，Blom1904年出生，80岁退休，由此可推算出Blom在1984年退休。故选B。
2. C 信息提示题。根据短文第3段的最后1句And her daughter says Brom is a good man and a great father.”可知，他女儿认为他父亲很伟大。故选C。
3. A 词义猜测题。根据短文最后1段的“visit him at his home”，再联系常识可知，只有“人”才能去看望某人，所以画线单词“officials”的汉语意思是“官员”。故选A。
4. B 事实细节题。根据短文第1段最后1句的“but his listening is not very good”可知，Brom只是听力不是很好，并不是什么也听不见，所以“Brom could hear nothing.”是不正确的。故选B。
5. D 主旨大意题。本文主要介绍了世界上最长寿老人Fredie Blom过去的相关情况和现状，由此说明本文的主题是人物介绍，“World’s Oldest Man”意为“世界上最长寿老人”，是本文的最佳标题。故选D。
