Unit 1 Cultural Heritage 单元检测 一、完形填空 I still remember my father’s sheepish(窘迫的)expression at breakfast the morning after he’d been invited to have dinner at a colleague’s house. 1 arriving in Brazil, back in the dark ages of computing, he’d 2 his hosts by making a hand gesture(手势)which he had always understood to mean “OK”, but in Brazil, it meant something quite different. Even worse, he’d raised his fingers to his lips and made a kissing sound, which again, he meant as a way of 3 that something——in this case the meal he’d just been asked to 4 ——was delicious. The faux pas(失礼)was 5 forgotten. My father’s colleague and his wife understood he probably wasn’t yet 6 of the local meaning of the gesture. I was 7 of this moment myself a few months into my stay in China. After 8 a colleague’s WeChat message with a Van Gogh sticker that I thought meant “keep fighting”, a second colleague appeared. “The Chinese version is a bit different,” she said, “See these characters?” They mean “I will hit you.” Life is full of 9 meanings. We generally understand that even if it stings, a mistake is only an insult(冒犯)when it is 10 . Intention, much like possession, is nine-tenths of this law. 11 as we look around, much friction(争执)originates from misunderstanding, and history is full of the 12 results of crossed communication. My father’s faux pas was 13 because of context—he had just arrived, he could not know, and it didn’t make sense that he’d be offensive(无礼的)by design. But when context is 14 or differently understood—perhaps it is time we all think twice before typing or talking, especially when the consequences can be much 15 than the misuse of a WeChat sticker. 1．A．Freshly B．Gradually C．Eventually D．Originally 2．A．embarrassed B．impressed C．frightened D．defeated 3．A．permitting B．emphasizing C．indicating D．sharing 4．A．go through B．comment on C．reflect on D．refer t
