Ever since its completion in 1962, the China National Museum ofFine Art has been the largest and most well-respected gallery of fine art in China. The museum was one often key projects that were completed within the first ten years after the establishment of the People’s Republic of China.
The National Museum today lies on grounds covering 30,000 square metres; the buildings themselves cover over 17,000 square metres of that space. The exhibition halls account for more than one third of the buildings’ area, covering about 6,000 square metres. The museum was built in the style of ancient pavilions, with beautiful corridors and buildings decorated by yellow glazed tiles.
The museum is dedicated to the collection, preservation and display of both modern and contemporary works of art, as well as to art research. It is currently home to a collection of more than 60, 000 works of art, both those on display for public viewing and those in carefully
preserved archives. The museum’s archives contain not only works of art but also historical
documents. The museum frequently compiles and publishes albums drawn from its vast
collections. In addition to its main functions, the museum is also involved in the organization of art exhibitions and academic exchanges, both nationally and abroad.

Society tells us we should socialise to the fullest, and that those who are surrounded by
people are the most successful and the happiest. These days, we’re almost always connected,
whether in person or through our phone screens and online social networks. But there’s something to be said for solitude(独处), “Being alone doesn’t necessarily mean being lonely”. In fact,
spending time by yourself is an essential element of self-care.
Around the globe, different cultures have wide-ranging perspectives on what it means to spend time alone. If you live or have spent time in the United States, you’re probably aware that Americans tend to reject solitude. For many younger people, weekends are packed with social
activities, ranging from brunch with friends to dinner parties to game nights to drinking at bars and everything in between.
The United States isn’t the only place where you’ll find a heavy emphasis on social time.
Across the Atlantic, the United Kingdom is known for being an extremely extroverted(外向型
的)country. A survey of Brits found that more than half had never done and would be unwilling to do activities like going to theme parks or seeing live music alone. Most Brits spend almost twice as much of their leisure time socialising with others as they do being alone.
The home can be a place of rest, relaxation and recharge—that is, if you live by yourself or have the space to be alone in your home. The country in which people are least likely to live alone is India, at about 4 percent of the population. China is also quite fond of multiple-person
households, with only about 10 percent of people living by themselves. In more collectivist
cultures like these, many aspects of life are related to community. Thus, spending time alone isn’t as ingrained(根深蒂固的)as a social convention in places like these, and the good of the group
takes priority over the needs of one person.
24 ．What can we learn from the first paragraph
A ．People can benefit more from solitude.
B ．People tend to socialise more nowadays.
C ．Being alone generally equals being lonely.
D ．Being alone enables people to be carefree.
试卷第 5 页，共 13 页
25 ．Which of the following best describes young Americans
A ．Imaginative and wild. B ．Responsible and energetic.
C ．Optimistic and dutiful. D ．Outgoing and sociable.
26 ．Why are most Chinese people more likely to live together
A ．Because they share a specific culture.
B ．Because they lack some local customs.
C ．Because they possess enough home space.
D ．Because they give priority to their own needs.
27 ．What’s the best title for the passage
A ．The Essence of Self-care B ．Enjoy Solitude, Enjoy Yourself
C ．The Functions of Different Cultures D ．The Perspectives on Solitude
C
In England, recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited. About five
minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly
there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the
way. Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all
the trouble was about. The three foreigners seemed all at sea and looked embarrassed. No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus.
Learning the language of a country isn’t enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised by just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn’t agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty.
28 ．The British people tried to push the three gentlemen out of the way, because the gentlemen .

The system of communication which relies on the verbal or non-verbal codes, used in
transferring (转移的) information, is called “language”. A language is a tool of communication, while communication is the process of transferring message to one another. Language focuses on the signs, symbols and munication lays emphasis (强调) on the message. Before the invention of written words, language was limited to the auditory (听觉的) channels.

Why is language needed for communication

the same things that initially “shocked” you! Read on for tips for overcoming culture shock in a short time.
When deciding to visit an entirely new place, don’t expect the traditions and cultures followed by your current home to be followed by the new land. 37 So keep your expectations low.
Even though it is an unfamiliar environment hosting different cultures and traditions from the one you’re used to, it’s vital to broaden your mind and be willing to try new things. Don’t be quick to form discriminatory judgments just because it is “odd”. Have a go at something different, like a food or clothing — different isn’t necessarily bad. 38
Social psychologists claim that lack of information is the biggest contributor to prejudices. Talk to the local population and ask them about how their culture works instead of assuming the worst. 39 Plus, you’ll make some friends who can ease your transformation.
Keep yourself open-minded, await new experiences and familiarize yourself with the conduct of the people. 40 Go out there and have fun!
A ．Integrity breaks down barriers.
B ．You can gain insight into your surroundings.
C ．Culture shock will eventually disappear, though.
D ．Every city or country has its own values and beliefs.
E ．Never do you know where you might find an interest.
F ．Consequently, such memories are what you should treasure.
G ．As long as you stick to that, you’ll soon adjust to the new culture.

The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish from each other a lot. This is because the culture systems are two separate systems 1 .

They don’t mean it
Our family moved here from China two years ago, and we thought we were pretty well adjusted to American ways. This year my parents decided to give a party on Chinese New Year and invite some of our American friends.
The party went pretty well. Our guests were amazed at the flavor of all the special foods.
After the dinner, they thanked us for showing them what a real Chinese New Year dinner was like.
“I loved the dishes. You and the girls must have spent hours doing all the work!” Mrs. O’Meara said to my mother.
“The girls helped with the cutting and I’m sorry they did such a terrible job.” said Mother.
I heard a little gasp(倒吸气) from my friend Kim O’Meara, who stared wide-eyes at
Mother. When I asked what the matter was, she told me she just didn’t understand why my mother said so.
I had to laugh. “She doesn’t mean it! It’s just the way she talks.”
Seeing her still confused look, I went on explaining, “In China, parents consider it good
manners to deny praises about their children. Otherwise, it would be the same as bragging(自夸).” Kim seemed a little hesitant, but she nodded anyway.
That Easter, the O’Mearas invited our family for dinner. Mrs. O’Meara cooked a huge ham which we enjoyed a lot. As Mrs. O’Meara started cutting up the cake for dessert, Mother said,

17 ．C 18 ．A 19 ．B 20 ．A
【原文】W: Arabs consider it extremely bad manners to start talking business immediately. Even the busiest government official always takes extra time to be polite and offer refreshments. No
matter how busy you are, you should make time for this. The conference visit is a way of doing
business throughout the Arab world. Frequently, you will have to discuss your business in the
presence of strangers, who may or may not have anything to do with your business. Do not be
surprised if your meeting is interrupted several times by people who come in talking, and leave.
Act as though you do not hear, and never show displeasure at being interrupted. Making decisions quickly is not an Arab custom. There is a vagueness in doing business in the Middle East which
will puzzle a newcomer. Give yourself lots of time and ask lots of questions. When an Arab says "yes", he may mean "maybe". When he says "maybe", he probably means "no". You will seldom get a direct "no" from an Arab because it is considered impolite. Instead of "no" he will say
"inshallah", which means, "if God is willing". On the other hand, "yes" does not necessarily mean "yes". A smile and a slow nod might seem like an agreement, but in fact, your host is being polite. An Arab considers it impolite to disagree with a guest.

(在英国，最近有三位外国绅士来到一个公共汽车站等车。大约五分钟后，他们想要坐的公共汽车出现了。他们正要上车，突然身后传来喧闹声。人们冲上公共汽车，试图把他们推开。)”及“No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus. (没有人告诉他们英国排队等候公共汽车的习俗，第一个到达公共汽车站的人是第一个上车的人。)”及“and looked embarrassed (并且看起来茫然)”可知，三位绅士不知道在英国等车时需要排队，所以当人们推开他们时，他们感到茫然与困惑。故推知 at sea 表示“感到困惑的”，与 confused意义一致，故选 C。

34．词句猜测题。根据划线单词后面的部分“communicate with sign language(用手语交流)”可知，只有没有说话能力的人会用手语交流，所以划线单词意为“缺陷、残疾” 。故选 C。
答案第 6 页，共 14 页
35 ．主旨大意题。根据第一段的“The system of communication which relies on the verbal or
non-verbal codes, used in transferring (转移的) information, is called “language” . A language is a tool of communication, while communication is the process of transferring message to one
another. Language focuses on the signs, symbols and munication lays emphasis (强
调) on the message. Before the invention of written words, language was limited to the auditory
(听觉的) channels. The basics of communication do not change at all.(依靠语言或非语言代码进行信息传递的交际系统称为“语言”。语言是交际的工具，而交际是信息相互传递的过程。语言关注符号、符号和词语。沟通强调信息。在文字发明之前，语言仅限于听觉通道。沟通的基础根本不会改变)”以及全文可知，本篇文章主要介绍了沟通和语言的区别。所以“沟通和语言是有区别的。”适合作本文的标题。故选 B。

69 ．考查定语从句。句意：是的，当然，有些中国人吃狗肉，这对外国人来说就像“ 吃自己的家人” 。非限制性定语从句中缺少主语，修饰句子“some Chinese people do eat dogs” ，所以应用关系代词 which 。故填 which。
70．考查连词。句意：但那是因为外国人对中国文化仍然知之甚少。分析可知，设空处引导表语从句，从句成分完整，但缺少“ 因为”之意，应用连接副词 because 。故填 because。
71 ．Dear Jack,
I am very delighted to know that you want to start a club to carry forward the excellent
traditional Chinese culture. Personally, I recommend a Chinese calligraphy club. And my reasons are as follows.
To start, in our nation, calligraphy has always been considered as one of the most
significant arts, which will help foreigners to know more about Chinese culture. Second, unlike
doing Taichi which needs a big space and specific costumes, practicing calligraphy can be easy to operate. All it asks is a table with the Four Treasures ofthe Study, which refer to brush, inkstick, paper and inkstone. Finally, practicing calligraphy is a good way to improve students ’
perseverance, for it needs patience to practice.
In a word, starting a calligraphy club is definitely advantageous. And I highly recommend starting a calligraphy club.
Yours,
Li Hua

72．There was a stunned(震惊的) silence around the table. Kim was on the receiving end of a cold stare from Mrs. O’Meara, whose face reddened with embarrassment. I was also shocked at my
friend’s mean remark. Clearing my throat, I finally asked, “What made you talk like that to your mother ” Kim whirled around, seemingly furious“But you were the one who told me that saying nice things about your own family was the same as bragging!” she stuttered. “I was just trying to act modest!”
Ifinally knew how Kim had misunderstood what I had said.“Listen, Kim,” I took her hands in mine to calm her down, “Chinese parents might say critical things about their children to show modesty but young people are always expected to be respectful to the elders.” Hearing this, Kim sighed
deeply, her cheeks flushed. The awkward silence was soon dispelled as the misunderstanding was erased. Drooping her head, Kim apologized for her impolite behavior. Mrs. O’Meara winked at
her, joking, “That’s all right. We know you didn’t mean it!”
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者妈妈举办中国新年派对，为表谦虚，说自己孩子做得很糟糕。因为文化的差异，Kim 误解了作者的话，在 Kim妈妈邀请作者一家人参加复活节，Kim 当面指责妈妈做得不够好，引起了大家的震惊。在作者的解释下，理解了中西文化的差异，和自己妈妈道歉的事。

Ever since its completion in 1962, the China National Museum ofFine Art has been the largest and most well-respected gallery of fine art in China. The museum was one often key projects that were completed within the first ten years after the establishment of the People’s Republic of China.
The National Museum today lies on grounds covering 30,000 square metres; the buildings themselves cover over 17,000 square metres of that space. The exhibition halls account for more than one third of the buildings’ area, covering about 6,000 square metres. The museum was built in the style of ancient pavilions, with beautiful corridors and buildings decorated by yellow glazed tiles.
The museum is dedicated to the collection, preservation and display of both modern and contemporary works of art, as well as to art research. It is currently home to a collection of more than 60, 000 works of art, both those on display for public viewing and those in carefully
preserved archives. The museum’s archives contain not only works of art but also historical
documents. The museum frequently compiles and publishes albums drawn from its vast
collections. In addition to its main functions, the museum is also involved in the organization of art exhibitions and academic exchanges, both nationally and abroad.

Society tells us we should socialise to the fullest, and that those who are surrounded by
people are the most successful and the happiest. These days, we’re almost always connected,
whether in person or through our phone screens and online social networks. But there’s something to be said for solitude(独处), “Being alone doesn’t necessarily mean being lonely”. In fact,
spending time by yourself is an essential element of self-care.
Around the globe, different cultures have wide-ranging perspectives on what it means to spend time alone. If you live or have spent time in the United States, you’re probably aware that Americans tend to reject solitude. For many younger people, weekends are packed with social
activities, ranging from brunch with friends to dinner parties to game nights to drinking at bars and everything in between.
The United States isn’t the only place where you’ll find a heavy emphasis on social time.
Across the Atlantic, the United Kingdom is known for being an extremely extroverted(外向型
的)country. A survey of Brits found that more than half had never done and would be unwilling to do activities like going to theme parks or seeing live music alone. Most Brits spend almost twice as much of their leisure time socialising with others as they do being alone.
The home can be a place of rest, relaxation and recharge—that is, if you live by yourself or have the space to be alone in your home. The country in which people are least likely to live alone is India, at about 4 percent of the population. China is also quite fond of multiple-person
households, with only about 10 percent of people living by themselves. In more collectivist
cultures like these, many aspects of life are related to community. Thus, spending time alone isn’t as ingrained(根深蒂固的)as a social convention in places like these, and the good of the group
takes priority over the needs of one person.
24 ．What can we learn from the first paragraph
A ．People can benefit more from solitude.
B ．People tend to socialise more nowadays.
C ．Being alone generally equals being lonely.
D ．Being alone enables people to be carefree.

25 ．Which of the following best describes young Americans
A ．Imaginative and wild. B ．Responsible and energetic.
C ．Optimistic and dutiful. D ．Outgoing and sociable.
26 ．Why are most Chinese people more likely to live together
A ．Because they share a specific culture.
B ．Because they lack some local customs.
C ．Because they possess enough home space.
D ．Because they give priority to their own needs.
27 ．What’s the best title for the passage
A ．The Essence of Self-care B ．Enjoy Solitude, Enjoy Yourself
C ．The Functions of Different Cultures D ．The Perspectives on Solitude
C
In England, recently three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop and waited. About five
minutes later, the bus they wanted came along. They were just going to get on when suddenly
there was a loud noise behind them. People rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the
way. Someone shouted at them. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all
the trouble was about. The three foreigners seemed all at sea and looked embarrassed. No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus.
Learning the language of a country isn’t enough. If you want to have a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your host country. You will probably be surprised by just how different they can be from your own. A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he doesn’t agree. But in many parts of India a shake of the head means agreement. Nodding your head when you are given a drink in Bulgaria will most probably leave you thirsty.

The system of communication which relies on the verbal or non-verbal codes, used in

Language focuses on the signs, symbols and munication lays emphasis (强调) on the message. Before the invention of written words, language was limited to the auditory (听觉的) channels.

the same things that initially “shocked” you! Read on for tips for overcoming culture shock in a short time.
When deciding to visit an entirely new place, don’t expect the traditions and cultures followed by your current home to be followed by the new land. 37 So keep your expectations low.
Even though it is an unfamiliar environment hosting different cultures and traditions from the one you’re used to, it’s vital to broaden your mind and be willing to try new things. Don’t be quick to form discriminatory judgments just because it is “odd”. Have a go at something different, like a food or clothing — different isn’t necessarily bad. 38
Social psychologists claim that lack of information is the biggest contributor to prejudices. Talk to the local population and ask them about how their culture works instead of assuming the worst. 39 Plus, you’ll make some friends who can ease your transformation.
Keep yourself open-minded, await new experiences and familiarize yourself with the conduct of the people. 40 Go out there and have fun!
A ．Integrity breaks down barriers.
B ．You can gain insight into your surroundings.
C ．Culture shock will eventually disappear, though.
D ．Every city or country has its own values and beliefs.
E ．Never do you know where you might find an interest.
F ．Consequently, such memories are what you should treasure.
G ．As long as you stick to that, you’ll soon adjust to the new culture.

They don’t mean it
Our family moved here from China two years ago, and we thought we were pretty well adjusted to American ways. This year my parents decided to give a party on Chinese New Year and invite some of our American friends.
The party went pretty well. Our guests were amazed at the flavor of all the special foods.
After the dinner, they thanked us for showing them what a real Chinese New Year dinner was like.
“I loved the dishes. You and the girls must have spent hours doing all the work!” Mrs. O’Meara said to my mother.
“The girls helped with the cutting and I’m sorry they did such a terrible job.” said Mother.
I heard a little gasp(倒吸气) from my friend Kim O’Meara, who stared wide-eyes at
Mother. When I asked what the matter was, she told me she just didn’t understand why my mother said so.
I had to laugh. “She doesn’t mean it! It’s just the way she talks.”
Seeing her still confused look, I went on explaining, “In China, parents consider it good
manners to deny praises about their children. Otherwise, it would be the same as bragging(自夸).” Kim seemed a little hesitant, but she nodded anyway.
That Easter, the O’Mearas invited our family for dinner. Mrs. O’Meara cooked a huge ham which we enjoyed a lot. As Mrs. O’Meara started cutting up the cake for dessert, Mother said,

【原文】W: Arabs consider it extremely bad manners to start talking business immediately. Even the busiest government official always takes extra time to be polite and offer refreshments. No
matter how busy you are, you should make time for this. The conference visit is a way of doing
business throughout the Arab world. Frequently, you will have to discuss your business in the
presence of strangers, who may or may not have anything to do with your business. Do not be
surprised if your meeting is interrupted several times by people who come in talking, and leave.
Act as though you do not hear, and never show displeasure at being interrupted. Making decisions quickly is not an Arab custom. There is a vagueness in doing business in the Middle East which
will puzzle a newcomer. Give yourself lots of time and ask lots of questions. When an Arab says "yes", he may mean "maybe". When he says "maybe", he probably means "no". You will seldom get a direct "no" from an Arab because it is considered impolite. Instead of "no" he will say
"inshallah", which means, "if God is willing". On the other hand, "yes" does not necessarily mean "yes". A smile and a slow nod might seem like an agreement, but in fact, your host is being polite. An Arab considers it impolite to disagree with a guest.

(在英国，最近有三位外国绅士来到一个公共汽车站等车。大约五分钟后，他们想要坐的公共汽车出现了。他们正要上车，突然身后传来喧闹声。人们冲上公共汽车，试图把他们推开。)”及“No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus that the first person who arrives at the bus stop is the first person to get on the bus. (没有人告诉他们英国排队等候公共汽车的习俗，第一个到达公共汽车站的人是第一个上车的人。)”及“and looked embarrassed (并且看起来茫然)”可知，三位绅士不知道在英国等车时需要排队，所以当人们推开他们时，他们感到茫然与困惑。故推知 at sea 表示“感到困惑的”，与 confused意义一致，故选 C。

答案第 6 页，共 14 页
35 ．主旨大意题。根据第一段的“The system of communication which relies on the verbal or
non-verbal codes, used in transferring (转移的) information, is called “language” . A language is a tool of communication, while communication is the process of transferring message to one
another. Language focuses on the signs, symbols and munication lays emphasis (强
调) on the message. Before the invention of written words, language was limited to the auditory
(听觉的) channels. The basics of communication do not change at all.(依靠语言或非语言代码进行信息传递的交际系统称为“语言”。语言是交际的工具，而交际是信息相互传递的过程。语言关注符号、符号和词语。沟通强调信息。在文字发明之前，语言仅限于听觉通道。沟通的基础根本不会改变)”以及全文可知，本篇文章主要介绍了沟通和语言的区别。所以“沟通和语言是有区别的。”适合作本文的标题。故选 B。

71 ．Dear Jack,
I am very delighted to know that you want to start a club to carry forward the excellent
traditional Chinese culture. Personally, I recommend a Chinese calligraphy club. And my reasons are as follows.
To start, in our nation, calligraphy has always been considered as one of the most
significant arts, which will help foreigners to know more about Chinese culture. Second, unlike
doing Taichi which needs a big space and specific costumes, practicing calligraphy can be easy to operate. All it asks is a table with the Four Treasures ofthe Study, which refer to brush, inkstick, paper and inkstone. Finally, practicing calligraphy is a good way to improve students ’
perseverance, for it needs patience to practice.
In a word, starting a calligraphy club is definitely advantageous. And I highly recommend starting a calligraphy club.
Yours,
Li Hua

72．There was a stunned(震惊的) silence around the table. Kim was on the receiving end of a cold stare from Mrs. O’Meara, whose face reddened with embarrassment. I was also shocked at my
friend’s mean remark. Clearing my throat, I finally asked, “What made you talk like that to your mother ” Kim whirled around, seemingly furious“But you were the one who told me that saying nice things about your own family was the same as bragging!” she stuttered. “I was just trying to act modest!”
Ifinally knew how Kim had misunderstood what I had said.“Listen, Kim,” I took her hands in mine to calm her down, “Chinese parents might say critical things about their children to show modesty but young people are always expected to be respectful to the elders.” Hearing this, Kim sighed
deeply, her cheeks flushed. The awkward silence was soon dispelled as the misunderstanding was erased. Drooping her head, Kim apologized for her impolite behavior. Mrs. O’Meara winked at
her, joking, “That’s all right. We know you didn’t mean it!”
