2019-2020年高考英語(yǔ)一輪復(fù)習(xí)話題語(yǔ)篇專(zhuān)攻練23文化習(xí)俗一外研版. 閱讀理解A(xx洛陽(yáng)模擬)Living in a culture that is different from your own can be both an exciting and challenging experience. The following are six cultural differences between China and the US to help promote mutual understanding. _Chinese people do not have the same concept of privacy as Americans do. They talk about topics such as ages, ine or marital status, which Americans think is annoying and disturbing. FamilyIn China, elders are traditionally treated with great respect while the young are cared for. In America, the goal of the family is to encourage independence, particularly that of the children. Unlike the Chinese, older Americans seldom live with their children. FriendsChinese people have different meanings to define friends. Just hanging out together time to time is not friendship. Friendship means lifelong friends who feel it deeply necessary to give each other whatever help might seem required. Americans always call people they meet friends, so the definition of friends is general and different. There are work friends, playing friends, school friends and drinking friends. MoneyAs is well known, the Chinese like to save. They are always conservative when they are planning to spend money. It is different in the US, where far fewer families are saving money for emergencies and education than their Chinese counterparts(對(duì)應(yīng)面). EducationChinese people value education and career more than Americans, who in turn put more emphasis on good character and faith. Team VS IndividualBasically China values the munity and the US values the individual. If you achieve something in the US, its because you are great. While in China, if you achieve something its because the team, or family, or pany is great. Everything you do gets attributed to the greater whole, while in America individual merits(功績(jī))are celebrated. 【文章大意】本文主要講述了中國(guó)人和美國(guó)人的文化差異。1. Which is the most appropriate word to show the first cultural difference? A. Privacy. B. Ine. C. Age. D. Marriage. 【解析】選A。段落大意題。根據(jù)第二段第一句Chinese people do not have the same concept of privacy as Americans do. 中國(guó)人沒(méi)有像美國(guó)人一樣的隱私概念, 故選A。2. Which is TRUE according to the passage? A. American parents seldom live with their children. B. There is no friendship between American people drinking together. C. Chinese people are usually generous with money to spend. D. Americans value good character and faith in terms of education. 【解析】選D。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Education部分可知中國(guó)人比美國(guó)人更重視教育和事業(yè), 而美國(guó)人更加重視良好的品格和信仰, 故選D。3. Which one is similar to the underlined phrase? A. is attached toB. brings inC. is promoted toD. results in【解析】選A。詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)本段Team VS Individual可知在中國(guó), 如果你取得了優(yōu)異的成績(jī), 會(huì)被歸因于集體, 家庭或者公司的辛勤培育。可知畫(huà)線詞組的意思是: 被歸因于, 故選A。BIf you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are. Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to(料理), and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety. The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card(住宿登記卡)to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge. The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate(價(jià)錢(qián)). From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly(相應(yīng)地). With so many loopholes(漏洞)in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take“petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always e back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”. In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others? 【文章大意】文章通過(guò)出租車(chē)、酒店、工人等介紹了芬蘭人民的“愚蠢”, 來(lái)表明并贊美了芬蘭社會(huì)的和諧, 人民的思想覺(jué)悟高。4. While taking a taxi in Finland, _. A. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driverB. a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi rideC. a passenger can never be refused by the taxi driver wherever he wants to goD. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration(證明)before leaving without paying【解析】選C。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第二段的“You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place. . . ”可知你可以一個(gè)人去任何地方, 告訴司機(jī)在任何一個(gè)地方讓你下車(chē)故選C。5. We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland_. A. are mostly poorly managedB. provide meals for any dinersC. provide free wine and charge for foodD. provide meals for only those who live in the hotels【解析】選B。推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第三段中“The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. ”所有大旅館的餐廳不僅給顧客提供服務(wù), 同樣服務(wù)外面的就餐者。故選B。6. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour. B. The workers are always honest with their working hours. C. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay. D. The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees. 【解析】選D。細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章的第四、五段可知, 選項(xiàng)D中所提到的老板不核對(duì)雇員的工作時(shí)間并不是因?yàn)樗麄兲? 而是因?yàn)楣蛦T都誠(chéng)實(shí)地上報(bào)自己的工作時(shí)間, 人們互相信任, 就不需要核對(duì)了。故選D。7. The word“those”in the last but one paragraph probably refers to_. A. people who are dishonestB. people who often have meals in big hotelsC. people who often take taxisD. people who are worthy of trust【解析】選A。推理判斷題。根據(jù)倒數(shù)第二段第一句“With so many loopholes in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to takepetty advantage. ”在日常生活中有這么多漏洞的情況下, 芬蘭肯定會(huì)是那些愛(ài)貪小便宜的人的天堂。故選A。. 完形填空You and I agree to meet at four-thirty.
