Pauline Vernon — Malaysia
My dad was teaching in Kota Bharu, Malaysia. When my mum and I flew out to visit him for three weeks, he had already organized our stay in great detail. On our first evening, we had a party on the beach. It was a beautiful empty beach: palm trees, white sand, the warm gentle waters. I swam in the shallow water thinking “this is the life,” when a jellyfish (水母) swam between my legs. The sting, on both legs, was painful, and it was only then that I discovered that two people had died from jellyfish stings that year. I now understood why the beach was almost empty.
Sandy Henderson — the U. S. A.
I was camping in Yosemite National Park in California with a friend, when I awoke to the sound of screaming. I looked out of my tent and saw my friend trying to get out of his sleeping bag, with a giant black bear standing up behind him. I quickly climbed out and we both rushed in no particular direction. By chance, we passed a small cabin (木屋), made a dash for that, jumped inside and looked the door. Seconds later, the bear was scraping at the door trying to get into the cabin we were hiding inside of. We were so afraid that the door would be pushing open that we put all of our weight against it to keep it closed. After quite a long lime, the bear lost interest and we were able to leave the shelter.
Harry Green — Denmark
I went to Denmark with my friend Dan’s family on a cycling holiday. I had been a little bit worried about what the weather was going to be like, but I needn’t have done so. It was lovely and sunny! What did end up being a problem, however, was how far we had to cycle every day. All of the members of my friend’s family were fit, and while I’m fairly sporty too, I struggled (奋力) to keep up, even though I’d had a great night’s sleep. My friend’s dad just kept saying, “Serves you right for spending so much time playing computer games!” He didn’t seem to understand how hard I was finding it. We were in a beautiful part of Denmark, but we never had the chance to stop and look at anywhere properly. And in the evenings, all I wanted to do was sleep!

Inner Mongolia’s tourism department sent her a special gift — free access to all local scenic spots. They also mailed traditional foods like dried milk slices (奶片). Ulanqab’s officials invited her classmates to visit, calling it “the most romantic interaction (相互影响) between the north and south”.
The essay made “Ulanqab” a trending search online. Many netizens (网民) shared their own stories, saying Zhang’s writing made them reconnect with their childhood.
This story teaches us that simple words can warm hearts. As Zhang’s teacher said. “True feelings always shine brighter than AI-written words.” We should cherish family and hometowns.

To build good relationships with people from other cultures, it is necessary to learn how to communicate well with them. Here are some tips that can help you learn from people from other cultures and share your culture with them.
A little knowledge can go a long way. If you have time before meeting with someone from another culture, try to take time to learn the basic dos and don’ts of that culture. You can find information about this from the Internet easily.
If you could not understand someone or think that he or she did not understand you, say something about it. If you think you did not understand what someone meant, try saying something like, “I’m not sure I understood you. Could we go over that again?” It’s usually better to be upfront (坦率的) than to let a problem in communication go undressed, since there may be bigger problems later.
Each culture has its own values, beliefs, and prejudice(偏见). Signs of these may come out when communicating with people from other cultures. Basic communication, however, is not the time to judge people based on these differences. Instead, respect(尊重) them for what they are. You may even learn something new.
Communicating with people from other cultures can also have its difficulties. Expect that not everything will come out quite right or be fully understood. Be patient with others, and ask them to be patient with you, too.
Using non-standard language improperly can make you hard to understand. Since a language’s slang(俚语) is highly dependent on context(语境), it is best not to use it unless you are quite sure you know how to use it properly.
16. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A. Learn about the culture. B. Be respectful. C. Be patient. D. Use slang properly.
17. What will happen if we are not upfront?
A. We will hate each other. B. Our parents will be angry with us.
C. Problems will be bigger later. D. We will learn something new.
18. What’s the structure(结构) of the text?(Paragraph 1=①)
A. B. C. D.
19. What’s the best title for the text?
A. The importance of cultures B. How to greet each other
C. The difficulties in communication D. How to communicate well with people from other cultures
20. Which part of the newspaper is the text probably from?
A. News. B. Health. C. Culture. D. Sports.
【答案】16. A 17. C 18. B 19. D 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了与其他文化的人们良好沟通的建议。
【16题详解】
细节理解题。根据“If you have time before meeting with someone from another culture, try to take time to learn the basic dos and don’ts of that culture.”可知,第二段主要讲述要学习与文化相关的知识。故选A。
【17题详解】
主旨大意题。根据“It’s usually better to be upfront (坦率) than to let a problem in communication go undressed, since there may be bigger problems later.”可知,通常情况下,在沟通中坦率地面对问题总比掩盖问题要好,如果不坦率,以后问题会更大。故选C。
【18题详解】
篇章结构题。根据“Here are some tips that can help you learn from people from other cultures and share your culture with them.”可知,第一段点明主题,给出一些建议;根据“A little knowledge can go a long way.”可知,第二段提出要了解文化相关知识的建议;根据“It’s usually better to be upfront (坦率的) than to let a problem in communication go undressed, since there may be bigger problems later.”可知,第三段提出要坦率面对问题的建议;根据“Instead, respect(尊重) them for what they are.”可知,第四段提出在交流中要尊重对方的价值观、信仰等的建议;根据“Be patient with others, and ask them to be patient with you, too.”可知,第五段提出在交流中遇到困难要有耐心的建议;根据“Using non-standard language improperly can make you hard to understand.”可知,第六段提出使用语言的建议。由此可知,本文结构为“总——分”结构,第一段点明主题,第二段至第六段分别提出不同的建议。故选B。
【19题详解】
最佳标题。根据“Here are some tips that can help you learn from people from other cultures and share your culture with them.”并结合全文可知,本文主要讲述了与其他不同文化的人进行良好沟通的建议。故选D。
【20题详解】
推理判断题。根据“To build good relationships with people from other cultures, it is necessary to learn how to communicate well with them.”并结合全文可知,文章主要介绍了与不同文化的人如何良好沟通,即:跨文化交流,所以文章有可能出现在报纸的“文化”部分。故选C。

Pauline Vernon — Malaysia
My dad was teaching in Kota Bharu, Malaysia. When my mum and I flew out to visit him for three weeks, he had already organized our stay in great detail. On our first evening, we had a party on the beach. It was a beautiful empty beach: palm trees, white sand, the warm gentle waters. I swam in the shallow water thinking “this is the life,” when a jellyfish (水母) swam between my legs. The sting, on both legs, was painful, and it was only then that I discovered that two people had died from jellyfish stings that year. I now understood why the beach was almost empty.
Sandy Henderson — the U. S. A.
I was camping in Yosemite National Park in California with a friend, when I awoke to the sound of screaming. I looked out of my tent and saw my friend trying to get out of his sleeping bag, with a giant black bear standing up behind him. I quickly climbed out and we both rushed in no particular direction. By chance, we passed a small cabin (木屋), made a dash for that, jumped inside and looked the door. Seconds later, the bear was scraping at the door trying to get into the cabin we were hiding inside of. We were so afraid that the door would be pushing open that we put all of our weight against it to keep it closed. After quite a long lime, the bear lost interest and we were able to leave the shelter.
Harry Green — Denmark
I went to Denmark with my friend Dan’s family on a cycling holiday. I had been a little bit worried about what the weather was going to be like, but I needn’t have done so. It was lovely and sunny! What did end up being a problem, however, was how far we had to cycle every day. All of the members of my friend’s family were fit, and while I’m fairly sporty too, I struggled (奋力) to keep up, even though I’d had a great night’s sleep. My friend’s dad just kept saying, “Serves you right for spending so much time playing computer games!” He didn’t seem to understand how hard I was finding it. We were in a beautiful part of Denmark, but we never had the chance to stop and look at anywhere properly. And in the evenings, all I wanted to do was sleep!

B. Because he hadn’t practiced cycling that much.

A middle school student’s essay has touched millions online. Zhang Xiaoran, a ninth-grader from Hangzhou, wrote about her trip back to her hometown Ulanqab.
In her essay, she described traveling on a slow green train with her grandparents. The 25-hour ride was filled with warm memories: the sound of wheels on rails, dialects (方言) of passengers, and her grandparents’ care. She wrote about a kind grandfather who bought snacks just because the seller said, “Kids love these.” This reminded her of her late grandfather.
Inner Mongolia’s tourism department sent her a special gift — free access to all local scenic spots. They also mailed traditional foods like dried milk slices (奶片). Ulanqab’s officials invited her classmates to visit, calling it “the most romantic interaction (相互影响) between the north and south”.
The essay made “Ulanqab” a trending search online. Many netizens (网民) shared their own stories, saying Zhang’s writing made them reconnect with their childhood.
This story teaches us that simple words can warm hearts. As Zhang’s teacher said. “True feelings always shine brighter than AI-written words.” We should cherish family and hometowns. After all, kindness and love are the most powerful forces in our lives. Let’s take action to express our love to those around us.
11. What did Zhang Xiaoran describe in her essay?
A. Her life in Hangzhou. B. A train trip with her grandparents.
C. Her favorite snacks from Ulanqab. D. An AI-written essay competition.
12. What special gift did Inner Mongolia’s tourism department send to Zhang?
A. A free green train ticket.
B. Traditional foods and free scenic spot access.
C. An invitation to visit Ulanqab with her classmates.
D. A book about the north-south interaction.
13. The underlined phrase “trending search” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.
A. popular topic online B. serious problem
C. new invention D. difficult question
14. What do Zhang’s teacher’s words mean?
A. AI-written words are more creative. B. True feelings in writing are more touching.
C. Students should learn from AI writing. D. Simple words are hard to understand.
15. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To introduce Zhang Xiaoran’s hometown Ulanqab.
B. To explain how to write a moving essay.
C. To show the power of kindness, love, and true feelings.
D. To encourage students to visit Inner Mongolia.
D
To build good relationships with people from other cultures, it is necessary to learn how to communicate well with them. Here are some tips that can help you learn from people from other cultures and share your culture with them.
A little knowledge can go a long way. If you have time before meeting with someone from another culture, try to take time to learn the basic dos and don’ts of that culture. You can find information about this from the Internet easily.
If you could not understand someone or think that he or she did not understand you, say something about it. If you think you did not understand what someone meant, try saying something like, “I’m not sure I understood you. Could we go over that again?” It’s usually better to be upfront (坦率的) than to let a problem in communication go undressed, since there may be bigger problems later.
Each culture has its own values, beliefs, and prejudice(偏见). Signs of these may come out when communicating with people from other cultures. Basic communication, however, is not the time to judge people based on these differences. Instead, respect(尊重) them for what they are. You may even learn something new.
Communicating with people from other cultures can also have its difficulties. Expect that not everything will come out quite right or be fully understood. Be patient with others, and ask them to be patient with you, too.
Using non-standard language improperly can make you hard to understand. Since a language’s slang(俚语) is highly dependent on context(语境), it is best not to use it unless you are quite sure you know how to use it properly.
16. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?
A. Learn about the culture. B. Be respectful. C. Be patient. D. Use slang properly.
17. What will happen if we are not upfront?
A. We will hate each other. B. Our parents will be angry with us.
C. Problems will be bigger later. D. We will learn something new.
18. What’s the structure(结构) of the text?(Paragraph 1=①)
A. B. C. D.
19. What’s the best title for the text?
A. The importance of cultures B. How to greet each other
C. The difficulties in communication D. How to communicate well with people from other cultures
20. Which part of the newspaper is the text probably from?
A. News. B. Health. C. Culture. D. Sports.
