The latest additions to its World Heritage (遗产)list. The following are some of the recent additions.
Churches of the Pskov School of Architecture((Russia))
The structures, many of which are churches, were all designed by the Pskov School of
Architecture. It was a leading school of building design in the country, especially in the 15th and 16th centuries. Some elements common to Pskov architecture date back to the 11th century.
Babylon((Iraq))
The ancient city of Babylon is gaining World Heritage Site status. The city was once a main tourist site before Iraq suffered several wars. The 4, 300-year-old city is where dynasties have
risen and fallen since the earliest days of settled human civilization. UNESCO Says the site "offers a look into one of the most influential empires ofthe ancient world".
Writing-on-stone(Canada)
Canada^ Writing-on-stone monument has a large number of protected rock paintings and
rock carvings. Some of them are 2, 000 years old. The markings were left by Blackfoot Native
Americans, who lived in parts of Western Canada and the far northern United States. The land that makes up Writing-on-Stone is filled with rock posts that have been formed into "spectacular
shapes" by erosion (侵蚀).
Party and Ilha Grande(Brazil)
The historic coastal town of Party and the island Ilha Grande are already popular places for visitors to Brazils Rio de Janeiro state. Party was the final stop along the Gold Route, along which gold was shipped to Europe in the 1600s. The area is also home to a huge number of animals,
some of which are in danger now.

At your next meeting, wait for a pause (暂停)in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts.
Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most. But while this pattern may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures.
What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a
valuable moment of reflection and sign of respect for what the last speaker has said. Research in Dutch and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds,
people start to feel uneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds — nearly twice as long as in Americans’ meetings.
In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you don’t speak at all. It’s already a failure to understand each other by speaking because you’re repairing that failure by using words.
In the US, it may originate from the history of colonial (殖民地) America as a crossroads of many different races. When you have a complex of difference, it’s hard to establish common
understanding unless you talk and there’s understandably a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally(口头上) engaged to establish a common life. This applies also to some extent to London.
In contrast, when there’s more homogeneity, perhaps it’s easier for some kinds of silence to appear. For example, among your closest friends and family it’s easier to sit in silence than with
people you’re less well familiar with.
23 .Which of the following people might have the longest silence in conversation
试卷第 5 页,共 14 页
A .The Dutch. B .Americans.
C .The English. D .The Japanese.
24 .What might the Japanese agree with in a conversation
A .Speaking more gives the upper hand.
B .Speak out what you have in your mind.
C .Great minds think alike without words.
D .The shorter talking silence, the better.
25 .What can we learn from the text
A .A four second silence in conversation is universal.
B .It’s hard for Japanese to reach a common agreement.
C .English speakers are more talkative than Japanese speakers.
D .The closer we and our family are, the easier the silence appears.
26 .What does the underlined word “homogeneity” in the last paragraph mean
A .Similarity. B .Competition.
C .Balance. D .Misunderstanding.
C
Gestures are one of the first things to come to mind that can cause cultural impoliteness. People from every culture, including various country leaders and several U.S. presidents, have been guilty of unintentionally offending people from different cultures through the use of
inappropriate gestures. When it comes to body language gestures, the wisest advice might be to keep your fingers to yourself!
In Brazil, Germany, Russia, and many other countries around the world, the OK sign is a
very offensive gesture. The OK sign means “money” in Japan, and it is commonly used to
represent “zero” in France. Although the OK sign isn’t offensive everywhere, it is not OK to use it
in many parts of the world, and nor does it necessarily mean “okay” as it does in many English-speaking countries!
Most people are aware that the V sign was made popular by Winston Churchill in England during WWII.However, it’s important to pay attention to where you are in the world, because if you make this gesture with your palm facing inward in Australia, the United Kingdom, South

Africa, and several other countries throughout the world, it will actually mean an insult.
On Inauguration (就职) Day 2005, President George W. Bush raised his fist, with the index and little finger extended, to give the hook ’em horns gesture of the Texas Longhorn football team to the marching band of the University of Texas.Newspapers around the world expressed their
astonishment at the use of such a gesture.Italians refer to it as “il cornuto”, which means that your wife is betraying you. It’s also considered a curse (诅咒) in some African countries.
The thumbs-up gesture is commonly used in many cultures to mean that a job well done.
However, if it is used in Australia, Greece, or the Middle East, it will make people believe you are offending them. The thumbs-up gesture can also create some real problems for those who count on their fingers. In Germany, the upright thumb is used to represent the number 1; however, it
represents the number 5 in Japan.
Our body language often conveys more than the words we use. At times, it can completely change — or even distort (歪曲) — our words’ meaning.
27 .Which of the following gestures may offend a British
A . B . C . D.
28 .Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A .The OK sign is only used in English-speaking countries.

After losing an important deal in India, a business negotiator learned that her counterpar (对方) felt as if she had been rushing through the talks. The business negotiator thought she was
being efficient with their time. Their cultures have different views on how to conduct negotiations, and in this case the barrier prevented a successful outcome.
Research shows that deal-making across cultures tends to lead to worse outcomes as
compared with negotiations conducted within the same culture. As we know, cultures are
characterized by different behaviors, communication styles and norms (准则). Consequently,
when negotiating across cultures, we bring different views to the bargaining table, which in turn may result in potential misunderstandings that can lead to a lower likelihood of discovering
value-creating solutions.
Cultural conflict in negotiations is linked with the fact that we, at most times, interpret others’ behaviors, values, and beliefs through the lens (透镜) of our own culture. To overcome this, it is important to research the customs and behaviors of different cultures as well as
understand why people follow these customs and exhibit these behaviors in the first place.
Just as important, not only do countries have unique cultures, but teams do too. Before
partaking in any negotiation, take the time to study the context and the person on the other side of the bargaining table, including the various cultures to which he belongs, whether the culture of
engineering or his particular company’ s culture. The more you know about the client, the better off you’ll do in any negotiation.
Therefore, the negotiator has learned her Indian counterpart will appreciate a slower pace
with more opportunities for relationship building. She seems to have run into the issue: Using time efficiently in the course of negotiations is generally valued in the United States, but in India,
there’s often a greater focus on building relationships early in the process. By doing research on the clients’ cultures, they can adjust their negotiation method and give themselves a better chance of creating a valuable negotiation experience for both themselves and their counterpart.

Significant cultural differences can be observed between China and the US, which are reflected in various aspects of life and have a profound impact on people’s values and behaviors.1. Privacy
The Chinese and Americans hold distinct views on privacy. In China, people commonly engage in conversations about personal details such as age, income, or marital status. Nevertheless, in
America, inquiring about such matters is an invasion into their personal space, which can be
试卷第 9 页,共 14 页
perceived as annoying and even offensive.2. Family
Family values also differ considerably between the two countries. In Chinese culture, there is a long-established tradition of showing great respect to elders, who play a critical role in family affairs. Meanwhile, the younger generation is cherished and nurtured with care. In contrast,
American families prioritize fostering independence, especially among children. 35 3. Friends
The definitions of friendship vary significantly between Chinese and American people. 36 For the Chinese, friendship is not merely about occasional socializing. True friendship implies a
lifelong bond, with friends feeling a strong sense of responsibility to support each other through
thick and thin. On the contrary, Americans use the term “friend” more broadly. They often refer to people they meet in different settings as friends, resulting in a more general and less specific
definition of friendship. 37 4. Money
Attitudes towards money present notable differences. It is widely known that the Chinese have a strong tendency to save. 38 In the US, however, far few families set aside money for
emergencies compared to their Chinese counterparts. They are more likely to focus on current consumption, using their income to enhance their immediate quality of life and personal
well-being.5. Collectivism vs. Individualism
39 In the US, individual achievements are highly celebrated. When someone make accomplishments, it is largely attributed to their own talent, hard work, and personal capabilities. In China, however, success is often seen as a collective effort, and the contributions of the group are emphasized.
A .Just hanging out together is not necessarily friendship.
B .The concepts of friendship vary greatly from person to person.
C .Unlike the Chinese, older Americans seldom live with their children.
D .They tend to spend money to the fullest for their personal well-being.
E .They are always conservative when they are planning to spend money.
F .Basically China values the community and the US values the individual.
G .There are work friends, playing friends, school friends and drinking friends.

A taboo is social behaviour that is not allowed. There are many different taboos around the world, few of 55 are universal. They often vary from society to society.
Taboos are usually related to certain items or people. Those who broke taboos are likely
56 (feel) upset or embarrassed even if they have no intention of hurting others, 57 the situation will also be awkward for the people around them.
When you meet people from different cultures, it is important to understand what you
cannot do. If you are not aware of the differences, which may seem 58 (important) to us,
some strange things might happen. For example, in China, 59 (give) an umbrella as a gift to your friend or a married couple, except when it is actually raining, should 60 (avoid). This is because the word that corresponds 61 "umbrella" in Chinese sounds like another Chinese
word which 62 (mean) "to separate".
Before you travel to a new country, it is a good idea to find out about the local taboos. If you know what to avoid and how to behave, you will spare yourself 63 (embarrass). Mind that taboos change with the times. Some behaviour that was not tolerated 64 might be accepted now.

When I started my second year of high school, an exciting opportunity came my way: a
year-long exchange program in Bath, England. The thought of studying abroad filled me with both excitement and anticipation (期盼). The chance to experience a new culture, improve my English, and make international friends seemed like a dream that comes true.
I managed to apply for a host family, read about rules and how to survive homesickness,
and research about Bath on the Internet. With all preparations made, I was on a plane to Bath, my heart racing with a mix of eagerness and nerves.
Upon arrival, the picturesque city with its historic architecture and beautiful streets attracted me. My host family, Mr Smith, Mrs Smith and their son Mark, welcomed me warmly, which
immediately put me at ease. After my settlement at their home, I quickly found comfort in my new surroundings.
Then came my first week at school, which, however, turned out to be a whirlwind (一片忙乱) besides a feeling of freshness. The education system was different from what I was used to in

my hometown. Classes were more discussion-based and I was encouraged to express my opinions, which I wasn’t comfortable with at first. My teachers and classmates were friendly and curious
about my background, often asking questions about my life in China. However, I struggled to keep up with the fast-paced (快节奏的) conversations. The British accent, with its unique slang (俚语), often made it hard for me to understand. There were moments in class when I felt lost, unable to
fully understand the discussions or contribute meaningfully. This was frustrating (令人沮丧的), as I had always been a top student back home.
Along with the new experience at school, homesickness began to set in. I missed my
family, friends, and the familiar rhythm (节奏) of life back in China. The cultural differences,
from food to social rules, made me hard to get used to at times. I found myself missing a taste of my home, both physically and mentally.

21.细节理解题。由第四段 Canada^ Writing-on-stone monument has a large number of protected rock paintings and rock carvings 可知加拿大的石上书纪念碑有大量被保护的石画和石刻;由The markings were left by Blackfoot Native Americans, who lived in parts of Western Canada and the far northern United States 可知这些标记都是居住在加拿大东部和美国北边的 Blackfoot 本族人留下的。所以石上书纪念碑都是本族人文化的反应,故选 C。
22 .推理判断题。由最后一段 The historic coastal town of Party and the island Ilha Grande are already popular places for visitors 可知 Party 镇和 Ilha Grande 岛屿上历史悠久的海岸已经成为旅游者的向往之地。所以旅游者在 Paraty 和 Ilha Grande 能看到海岸风景。故选 B。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了谈话中的沉默文化。尽管交谈中出现停顿是普遍存在的,但我们对沉默的认识在不同的文化中有着巨大的差异。不同的文化中沉默时间不同,对于沉默的看法也不同。相比而言,亲密的朋友和家人之间更容易出现沉默。
23 .细节理解题。根据第二段“Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most.(对于说英语的人来说,可能最多一两秒钟)”及第三段“Research in Dutch and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start to feel uneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy
with silences of 8.2 seconds — nearly twice as long as in Americans’ meetings.(荷兰语和英语的研究发现,当对话中的沉默持续 4 秒时,人们就会开始感到不安。相反,另一项针对商务会议的研究发现, 日本人对 8.2 秒的沉默感到满意,这几乎是美国人会议沉默时间的两倍)”可
答案第 4 页,共 14 页
知, 日本人可能在谈话中有最长沉默。故选 D。
24.推理判断题。根据第四段“In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you don’t speak at all.(在日本,人们认为最好的交流方式是什么都不说)”可推知, 日本人在对话中可能会同意“ 心有灵犀一点通” 。故选 C。
25.推理判断题。根据最后一段“For example, among your closest friends and family it’s easier to sit in silence than with people you’re less well acquainted with.(例如,在你最亲密的朋友和家人面前,保持沉默比和你不太熟悉的人在一起更容易)”可推知,亲密的人之间更容易出现沉默,因此我们和家人越亲密,沉默越容易出现。故选 D。
26 .词句猜测题。根据划线词下文的举例“For example, among your closest friends and family it’s easier to sit in silence than with people you’re less well acquainted with.(例如,在你最亲密的朋友和家人面前,保持沉默比和你不太熟悉的人在一起更容易)”可推知,越亲近的人,越容易出现沉默,因此推断划线所在句意为“相比而言,当有更多相似时,也许沉默更容易出
现” 。由此可知,划线词意思与 similarlity 意义相近。故选 A。
27 .B 28 .D 29 .C 30 .A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了不同文化中手势的禁忌。
27 . 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Most people are aware that the V sign was made popular by Winston Churchill in England during WWII. However, it’s important to pay attention to where
you are in the world, because if you make this gesture with your palm facing inward in Australia, the United Kingdom, South Africa, and several other countries throughout the world, it will
actually mean an insult. (大多数人都知道,V 字手势是在第二次世界大战期间由英国的
Winston Churchill 推广开来的。然而,重要的是要注意你在世界的哪个地方,因为如果你在澳大利亚、英国、南非以及世界上其他几个国家做这个手势时手掌向内,这实际上是一种侮辱。)”可以推断,在英国,手掌向内的 V 字手势可能被视为侮辱,因此会冒犯英国人。故选B。
28 .细节理解题。根据文章第五段中“However, if it is used in Australia, Greece, or the Middle East, it will make people believe you are offending them. (然而,如果在澳大利亚、希腊或中东使用,人们会认为你在冒犯他们。)”可知,在澳大利亚竖起大拇指会让人觉得被冒犯,即不受欢迎。故选 D。
29 .推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是根据文章第一段中“People from every culture ,including various country leaders and several U.S. presidents ,have been guilty of unintentionally offending
答案第 5 页,共 14 页
people from different cultures through the use of inappropriate gestures. (来自各种文化的人,包括各国领导人和几位美国总统,都曾因使用不当的手势而无意中冒犯了来自不同文化的
人。)”可知,作者想要告诉读者在使用手势时要非常小心,以避免可能的麻烦。故选 C。
30 .主旨大意题。通读全文, 尤其是根据文章第一段中“People from every culture ,including various country leaders and several U.S. presidents ,have been guilty of unintentionally offending people from different cultures through the use of inappropriate gestures. (来自各种文化的人,包括各国领导人和几位美国总统,都曾因使用不当的手势而无意中冒犯了来自不同文化的
人。)”可知,文章主要讲述了在跨文化交流中应该避免使用哪些手势。因此, 最适合的标题是“Gestures to Avoid in Cross-Cultural Business (跨文化事务中应避免的手势)”。故选 A。
31 .B 32 .D 33 .C 34 .B
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了如何通过了解不同的文化来应对文化冲突,从而在跨文化谈判中达成合作。
31.细节理解题。根据第一段“Their cultures have different views on how to conduct negotiations, and in this case the barrier prevented a successful outcome. (他们的文化对如何进行谈判有不同的看法,在这种情况下,这种障碍阻碍了成功的结果)”可知,双方的文化差异导致了生意谈判失败。故选 B 项。
32.细节理解题。 根据第二段“Research shows that deal-making across cultures tends to lead to worse outcomes as compared with negotiations conducted within the same culture. As we know,
cultures are characterized by different behaviors, communication styles and norms(准则).
Consequently, when negotiating across cultures, we bring different views to the bargaining table, which in turn may result in potential misunderstandings that can lead to a lower likelihood of
discovering value-creating solutions.”(研究表明,与同文化内的谈判相比,跨文化谈判往往会导致更糟糕的结果。众所周知,文化以不同的行为、沟通风格和准则为特征。因此,在跨文化谈判中,我们会将不同的观点带到谈判桌上,这反过来可能导致潜在的误解,从而降低发现价值创造解决方案的可能性。)可知,跨文化谈判结果不佳的原因是文化误解。故选 D。
33 .推理判断题。根据第四段“Before partaking in any negotiation, take the time to study the
context and the person on the other side of the bargaining table, including the various cultures to
which he belongs, whether the culture of engineering or his particular company ’ s culture. The
more you know about the client, the better off you’ll do in any negotiation. (在参加任何谈判之前,花点时间研究背景和谈判桌上的对方,包括他所属的各种文化,无论是他的文化、工程文化,
答案第 6 页,共 14 页
还是他所在公司的企业文化。你对客户了解得越多, 你在谈判中就越有利)”可推知,作者在该段想要表达的是在谈判前进行调查研究很有必要,对对方的文化越了解,越有利于谈判的进行。故选 C 项。
34.推理判断题。通读全文可知, 第一段给出跨文化谈判失败的案例,第二、三、四段从该案例出发,分析了跨文化谈判往往会失败背后深层次的文化原因,以及解决这种跨文化问题的方法,最后一段回到案例本身,结合上文的原因和方法,给案例中的人提供了具体的建议。由此推知,最后一段的作用是总结提到的谈判案例。故选 B 项。

36 .下文“For the Chinese, friendship is not merely about occasional socializing. True friendship implies a lifelong bond, with friends feeling a strong sense of responsibility to support each other
through thick and thin. (对中国人来说,友谊不仅仅是偶尔的社交。真正的友谊意味着一生的纽带,朋友们会有强烈的责任感,同甘共苦。)”强调了中国友谊的深度。A 选项“Just hanging out together is not necessarily friendship. (仅仅一起出去玩不一定就是友谊。)” 与下文相呼应,说明在中国仅仅一起活动不能算真正的友谊,符合上下文逻辑。故选 A 项。
37 .上文“On the contrary, Americans use the term ‘friend’ more broadly. (相反,美国人更广泛地使用‘朋友’这个词。)”说明美国人对朋友的定义更宽泛。G 选项“There are work friends,

39 .下文“In the US, individual achievements are highly celebrated. When someone make
accomplishments, it is largely attributed to their own talent, hard work, and personal capabilities. In China, however, success is often seen as a collective effort, and the contributions of the group
are emphasized. (在美国,个人成就备受推崇。当有人取得成就时,很大程度上归功于他们自己的天赋、努力和个人能力。然而,在中国,成功通常被视为集体努力的结果,强调集体的贡献。)”说明了中美在对待个人和集体成就方面的差异。F 选项“Basically China values the community and the US values the individual. (基本上中国重视集体,美国重视个人。)”概括了下文的内容,点明了中美在集体主义和个人主义方面的差异。故选 F 项。

55.which 56.to feel 57.and 58.unimportant 59.giving 60.be avoided
61 .to 62 .means 63 .embarrassment 64 .before
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍了世界各地存在各种不同的禁忌,阐述了禁忌与特定事物或人相关,强调了解不同文化禁忌的重要性,还指出禁忌会随时间变化。
55.考查定语从句。句意:世界各地有许多不同的禁忌,几乎没有是通用的。此处为非限制性定语从句,先行词是 taboos,指物,关系词在从句中作 of 的宾语,所以用关系代词 which引导。故填 which。
56.考查非谓语动词。句意:那些打破禁忌的人可能会感到不安或尴尬,即使他们无意伤害他人。be likely to do sth.是固定搭配,意为“可能做某事” ,所以这里用动词不定式 to feel。
故填 to feel。
57 .考查连词。句意:那些打破禁忌的人可能会感到不安或尴尬,即使他们无意伤害他人,而且这种情况对他们周围的人来说也会很尴尬。前一句说打破禁忌者自身感受,后一句说周围人的感受,两句是并列关系,所以用连词 and 连接。故填 and。
58.考查形容词。句意:如果你没有意识到这些差异,这些差异对我们来说可能看似不重要,一些奇怪的事情可能就会发生。根据语境,这里说的是看似不重要的差异可能引发奇怪事,所以用 important 的反义词 unimportant 作表语。故填 unimportant。
59.考查非谓语动词。句意:例如,在中国,除非真的在下雨,否则给你的朋友或已婚夫妇送伞作为礼物应该被避免。此处作主语,要用动名词形式,所以用 giving 。故填 giving。
60.考查动词语态。句意:例如,在中国,除非真的在下雨,否则给你的朋友或已婚夫妇送伞作为礼物应该被避免。should 是情态动词,主语 giving an umbrella as a gift to your friend or a married couple 与avoid 之间是被动关系,所以用含有情态动词的被动语态should be avoided。故填 be avoided。
61.考查介词。句意:这是因为在中文里与“伞”对应的词听起来像另一个中文词,意思是“分开” 。correspond to 是固定短语,意为“与 相对应” ,所以此处用介词 to 。故填 to。
62.考查动词时态。句意:这是因为在中文里与“伞”对应的词听起来像另一个中文词,意思
答案第 11 页,共 14 页
是“分开”。此处描述客观事实,用一般现在时,先行词是 another Chinese word,是单数,所以谓语动词用 means。故填 means。
63 .考查名词。句意:如果你知道要避免什么以及如何表现,你就可以避免尴尬。此处作 spare 的宾语,应用名词形式 embarrassment,embarrassment 表示“尴尬” 时是不可数名词。故填 embarrassment。
64.考查副词。句意: 要注意禁忌会随着时间而改变。有些过去不能被容忍的行为现在可能被接受了。根据语境及 now 可知,此处表示时间上“ 以前”,所以用副词 before。故填
before。

Recognizing my struggle, people around me stepped in to support me. On weekends, Mr
Smith would take me on a trip to many attractions, some even I had only read about in textbooks. Mrs Smith went out of her way to make me feel at home by cooking Chinese dishes. Mike shared his own experiences of studying abroad to comfort me. At school, my teachers were patient and understanding, offering extra help with assignments and encouraging me to join clubs to make
new friends. My classmates invited me to see movies, play hockey, and go to concerts. Everyone was warm, open, and never hesitant in offering help.
Gradually, I began to adapt to (适应) the life here. I offered to share Chinese culture with my host family. I joined the school’s debate club, which helped me improve my English and gain confidence in speaking. I also participated in a local volunteer group, where I met people from
different backgrounds, each with their own unique stories. These experiences broadened my
perspective and helped me feel more connected to my new environment. As the months passed, Bath began to feel like a second home. I developed a close connection with people here that I
knew would last a lifetime.
