二、話題書面表達(dá)亮一點(diǎn)
Ⅰ.根據(jù)提示填空
Different cultures ?emphasize (強(qiáng)調(diào)) the importance of ?relationship_building (關(guān)系建立) to a greater or lesser degree.For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust.
Talk and silence may also be ?different (difference) 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 (不舒服的) 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 (在我自己的文化里), we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are ?unnecessary (沒必要的).
Even within Northern Europe, ?cultural (culture) differences can cause serious problems.Certainly, English and German cultures share ?similar (相似的) values; however,Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly.We think that they are ?rude (粗魯?shù)?.In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions (decide) more quickly.
Ⅱ.片段選詞填空
offer, further study, experience, be compared with, understanding, value, come across, in addition to, foreign language, second-language skills
The other day I announced that I would go abroad for ?further_study right after my college education. My decision evoked (引起,喚起) the immediate objection of my family: Why? Why should I borrow a huge sum of money for overseas study while I might receive the same education at home at a relatively low cost? My answer is: ?in_addition_to_knowledge, I can gain experience that those who stay at home will never have.
First, ?experience is the opportunity for the real-life use of ?foreign_languages. While a person can study a foreign language at home, the effect can never ?be_compared_with constant use of the language in everyday life. There is no better opportunity to improve ?second-language_skills than living in the country in which it is spoken.
Second, living and studying abroad ?offers me a different perspective (角度) of the world. On a university campus, foreign students are likely to ?come_across their counter-parts from different countries and areas and are exposed to different ideas and ?values. This helps me to have a better understanding_of different societies and inevitably (必然地) see my own country in a new light.
Third, overseas experience, disappointing and painful as it may be, is helpful. A person going abroad for study often experiences much more difficulty — difficulty in adapting to a new culture and in dealing with all problems alone.

(2016·全國卷Ⅰ閱讀D)The meaning of silence varies 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 stubbornness, uneasiness, or worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap (間隙) 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 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 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 be aware of 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.
語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。主要介紹了沉默在不同文化里的具體含義。沉默有時表示思考,有時表示無話可說……不同的文化,人們對沉默有不同的理解。
32.What does the author say about silence in conversations?
A.It implies anger. B.It promotes friendship.
C.It is culture-specific. D.It is content-based.
解析:選C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段的第一句“The meaning of silence varies among cultural groups.”以及下文給出的不同文化里沉默代表不同含義的例子可知,選項(xiàng)C與之相符合。
33.Which of the following people might regard silence as a call for careful thought?
A.The Chinese. B.The French.
C.The Mexicans. D.The Russians.
解析:選A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段中的“Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating ... just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do.”以及“... silence is a call for reflection.”可知,許多美國本土人、一些傳統(tǒng)的中國人以及泰國人都把沉默看作是仔細(xì)思考的象征,故選A項(xiàng)。
34.What does the author advise nurses to do about silence?
A.Let it continue as the patient pleases.
B.Break it while treating patients.
C.Evaluate its harm to patients.
D.Make use of its healing effects.
解析:選D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中最后一段中的“A nurse who understands the healing value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.”可知,作者建議護(hù)士們利用沉默的治愈效果來關(guān)愛病人,D項(xiàng)與此吻合。
35.What may be the best title for the text?
A.Sound and Silence
B.What It Means to Be Silent
C.Silence to Native Americans
D.Speech Is Silver; Silence Is Gold
解析:選B 標(biāo)題歸納題。整篇文章都在說,沉默在不同的文化和領(lǐng)域具有不同的含義,這與B項(xiàng)(沉默的含義)的表述相符。
Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
(2019·武漢調(diào)研)When I graduated from the University of Iowa last year, I did something my friends did not understand. I left Iowa, where I had friends and stability, to live on a small houseboat near San Francisco. At school, I had found a job driving a school bus so people asked, “Why on earth are you leaving?”
Well, at graduation I was presented with two things — a degree in psychology and a question. It was the same one that many in my generation got:“What do I do now?” It was as difficult as it was common. That's because many people at my age were raised with the same words, repeated over and over by parents, teachers and TV, that “you can be whatever you want to be”. As a young boy, every time when I was puzzled about my future, they would say that they would be happy if I was happy. However, what I needed was concrete advice but not a vague idea, for example, “be a doctor, or be a bus driver”.
My experience was by no means universal. Many Americans are taught by their parents that the only purpose in life is to attain money and power. As a goal, this seems much easier and clearer than finding “happiness” or “gentleness”. The result of this upbringing is that many of my classmates did not specialize in any particular skill, rather assuming that something would magically happen to overcome their problems. They often get a real shock when they enter the “real world” and find that their options are very limited. Many of my friends have taken jobs as waiters or cooks after graduating, or have moved back in with their parents.
My life on the boat is hard at times, especially during storms. But this is my small attempt to be happy on my own. I'm not buying into my nation's idea of limitless possibilities because I feel that stops the growth of many of today's youth.
語篇解讀:本文是文化教育類夾敘夾議文。作者用自身的經(jīng)歷指出當(dāng)今美國的一個社會問題:青少年需要父母更為具體的引導(dǎo)和教育,讓他們知道自己將來具體想要做什么,而不是簡單地告訴他們“成為你想成為的人”。
1.Why were the friends confused about the writer's leaving?
A.He was tired of driving.
B.He suddenly quit school.
C.He would lose his friends.
D.He would lead a changing life.
解析:選D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第一段中的“I did something my friends did not understand. I left Iowa, where I had friends and stability, to live on a small houseboat near San Francisco”可知,作者離開了艾奧瓦州,那里有他的朋友,有穩(wěn)定的工作,但他去了舊金山附近的一個船屋,開始自己一種新的生活,他的朋友們對他的這種做法很不理解,故答案選D。
2.What does the writer think of the guidance he got from American society?
A.It's specific. B.It's wrong.
C.It's general. D.It's correct.
解析:選C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段內(nèi)容,尤其是其中的“what I need was concrete advice but not a vague idea”可知,作者想要的是具體的建議,故可推知他認(rèn)為他得到的指導(dǎo)是寬泛的,故答案選C。
3.What directly caused a lot of Americans to have jobs lower than their expectations?
A.Their achievable goals.
B.The practical guidance.
C.Being shocked by the real world.
D.Lacking professional competence.
解析:選D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。文章第三段最后一句“Many of my friends have taken jobs as waiters or cooks after graduating, or have moved back in with their parents” 提到我的很多朋友在畢業(yè)后都當(dāng)了服務(wù)生或廚師,或者搬回去跟父母住在一起,上文分析了導(dǎo)致這種情況的原因“The result of this upbringing is that many of my classmates did not specialize in any particular skill”,也就是說,父母的這種教育方式導(dǎo)致很多孩子沒有去認(rèn)真學(xué)習(xí)專業(yè)技能。故答案選D。
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Stay where you are
B.Be whatever you want to be
C.Blind faith in industrial society
D.Mistaken belief in limitless possibilities
解析:選D 標(biāo)題歸納題。文章主要闡述了作者指出當(dāng)前美國的一個社會問題:父母沒有給孩子提出具體的、明確的建議,教育其孩子把錢和權(quán)力當(dāng)成了生活的唯一目標(biāo),這導(dǎo)致很多孩子沒有去認(rèn)真學(xué)習(xí)專業(yè)技能,在走上社會之后受到了影響,只能去做一些很低層次的工作。根據(jù)最后一段中的“I'm not buying ... today's youth”可知,作者批評了這種教育方式,并且不再相信美國社會的“無限可能”的信念。所以答案選D。
B
(2019·合肥模擬)Culture shock occurs when people have been suddenly thrown into a new culture. Newcomers may be anxious because they don't speak the language. Neither do they know the customs nor understand the people's behavior in daily life.
Quite often the visitor finds that “yes” may not always means “yes”, that friendliness does not necessarily mean friendship, or that statements that appear to be serious are really intended as jokes. The foreigners may be unsure as to when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The idea of culture shock helps explain the feelings of puzzlement and confusion.
Language problems do not account for all the setback that people feel. When one has lost everything that was once familiar, such as understanding a transportation system, knowing how to register for university classes, or knowing how to make friends, difficulties in coping with the new society may arise.
When an individual enters a strange culture, he or she feels like a fish out of water. Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted by the native members of the culture. When this happens, visitors may want to reject everything about the new environment and may glorify and sing their own praises of the positive aspects of their own culture. On the other side, more visitors may sneeze at their native country by rejecting its value and instead choosing to approve of the value of the new country. This may occur as an attempt to accept the new culture in order to be taken in by the people in it.
語篇解讀:本文是一篇議論文,主要論述了文化沖擊現(xiàn)象發(fā)生的原因、現(xiàn)象、結(jié)果等。
5.What do people feel when they are abruptly in a new culture?
A.Excited. B.Delighted.
C.Upset. D.Hopeless.
解析:選C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“Newcomers may be anxious because they don't speak the language. Neither do they know the customs nor understand the people's behavior in daily life”可知,由于語言不通、不了解當(dāng)?shù)氐娘L(fēng)俗、不理解當(dāng)?shù)厝巳粘I钪械男袨榱?xí)慣,新來者會感到焦慮、擔(dān)心。C項(xiàng)意為“心煩意亂的”,符合語境,故C項(xiàng)正確。
6.We can infer from the second paragraph that ________.
A.it's impossible to get used to a new culture
B.people feel confused due to culture shock
C.foreigners often don't mean what native people say
D.most foreigners are usually quite humorous
解析:選B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后兩句“The foreigners may be unsure as to when to shake hands, when to start conversations, or how to approach a stranger. The idea of culture shock helps explain the feelings of puzzlement and confusion”可以判斷,由于文化沖擊,人們常常會感到困惑,故B項(xiàng)正確。
7.The biggest barrier people often meet with in a new country is ________.
A.the language B.the transportation
C.the environment D.the puzzlement
解析:選A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段第二句“Newcomers may be anxious because they don't speak the language”并結(jié)合常識可知,在別的國家,人們遇到的最大問題就是語言不通。故A項(xiàng)正確。
8.A few immigrants say no to everything of the new country because ________.
A.they miss their native culture seriously
B.they know nothing about the culture
C.they can't enter the mainstream society
D.they really regret having immigrated
解析:選B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Newcomers feel at times that they do not belong to the culture and feel deserted ... praises of the positive aspects of their own culture”可以判斷,由于對新文化一無所知,新來的一些移民常常會拒絕新的國家中的一切,故B項(xiàng)正確。

語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。文章介紹了哈佛大學(xué)創(chuàng)建初期遇到的困難、名稱的來歷以及其地位。
1.be founded 考查語態(tài)和虛擬語氣。主語a university和動詞found之間是被動關(guān)系,故用被動語態(tài);suggest表示“建議”時,后接從句,從句用虛擬語氣,謂語動詞用“(should+)動詞原形”。
2.better 考查副詞的比較級。十七世紀(jì)三十年代早期,一些殖民者建議建立一所大學(xué)以提高他們后代的素質(zhì),這樣他們就能更好地建造新的家園。根據(jù)語境可知,空處表示“更好地”,故用副詞比較級。
3.universities 考查名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式。和當(dāng)時的其他許多大學(xué)一樣,早期的哈佛大學(xué)經(jīng)常遭遇金融危機(jī)。university為可數(shù)名詞,該處表示“其他許多大學(xué)”,故用復(fù)數(shù)形式。
4.donation(s) 考查名詞。學(xué)校董事會經(jīng)常不得不去歐洲籌集捐款,但正如你所能預(yù)測的,他們經(jīng)??帐侄鴼w。根據(jù)該句中的及物動詞raise可知,空處作該及物動詞的賓語,故用名詞形式。
5.with 考查介詞。with表示“具有,帶有”,符合語境。
6.which 考查定語從句。分析該句結(jié)構(gòu)可知,該句為非限制性定語從句,句中his library and half his estate為先行詞,故用which引導(dǎo)該定語從句。
7.standing 考查現(xiàn)在分詞。今天,你可以在哈佛廣場的大學(xué)禮堂前找到一尊站立著的John Harvard的雕像,這也許是這所大學(xué)最著名的地標(biāo)。a statue of John Harvard和動詞stand之間為邏輯上的主謂關(guān)系,故用現(xiàn)在分詞作賓語補(bǔ)足語。
8.known 考查形容詞。根據(jù)空處后的名詞“l(fā)andmark”可知,空處修飾該名詞,表示“知名的,著名的”,故用形容詞known。
9.a(chǎn) 考查不定冠詞。該處泛指“一句格言”,且saying的發(fā)音以輔音音素開頭,故用不定冠詞a。
10.a(chǎn)nd 考查連詞。在教育界有一句名言:哈佛是美國教育的王冠,哈佛商學(xué)院是它的閃亮之星??涨暗摹癏arvard is the crown of American education”和空后的“Harvard Business School is the shining diamond on it”為并列關(guān)系,故用連詞and。
Ⅳ.短文改錯
