课时作业(八)　Unit 2　Period 4 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A The influence of America is increasing in my country. Spanish people drink Coca-Cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen to American music, and eat fast food, and they do these things every day. I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the programs and documentaries (纪录片) we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go to see are made in Hollywood. In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies. Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe. American culture is a part of Spanish life now. It's certain that many things from America are as much a part of people's lives as Spanish things. For example, Coca-Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. I've known about Coca-Cola for my whole life. However, it's different for Western fast food. For example, I don't think McDonald's is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the lifestyle of the Spanish people. The Spanish people normally eat at home. On the other hand, maybe McDonald's hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. It's true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonald's, and it is more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults. In any case, it's obvious that American culture is becoming more and more a part of our lives every day. 1．What can we learn from the first paragraph? A．The influence of America on Spain can be found everywhere. B．Most Spanish people don't like to listen to their own music. C．Fast food spreads from Spain to the United States. D．Some Spanish actors go to America to improve their acting skills. 2．What plays an important part in the spreading of American culture in Spain? A．American novels. B．Hollywood movies. C．McDonald's. D．American music. 3．Why did the government set some rules for the films shown in Spain? A．To protect foreign culture in Spain. B．To earn more money from Spanish films. C．To safeguard native movies. D．To unite European Communities. 4．What do you think Spanish tapas might be? A．The name of a drink. B．The name of a restaurant. C．A clothing brand. D．A certain kind of food. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了美国文化对西班牙人生活的影响。 1．解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第一段内容可知，在吃、穿、电影、音乐等方面，在西班牙到处都可以发现美国文化对西班牙人生活的影响。故选A。 2．解析：选B　细节理解题。根据第二段第一句中的“think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture”可知，美国电影是传播美国文化的好方法，应选B。 3．解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第二段最后两句“In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies.Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe”可知，西班牙政府给在西班牙上映的电影制定了一些规则，这是通过限制外国电影的数量来保护西班牙本国的电影。故选C。 4．解析：选D　推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“maybe McDonald's hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas”可知，或许麦当劳的汉堡将最终取代著名的西班牙的tapas，由此可推断tapas指西班牙的一种食品。故选D。 B I'm a student in my third year at Robert Gordon University, but I also work 35 hours a week at Sainsbury's to make ends meet. I constantly have to force myself to stay awake, and to be alert, whatever it takes. The work I do at Sainsbury's is manual like stacking(摞) shelves. I am lucky because the weight of the things I lift at work is nothing compared with those in the gym. I know I have the strength to bear them. I am originally from Nigeria. I came here when I was seven. Money was always tight. My parents gave me everything I needed, but there was no money for luxuries(奢侈品). I worked hard at school though and, with the help of professors, I got the best A-level grades in my class. Unfortunately, though I had applied for “settled”British residential status, the Home Office waited until I was in the sixth form to approve my application. That meant I was not eligible for a student loan. The only way I could afford to go to university was that I got a job that would pay for all my living costs and my parents paid for my tuition fees. I don't have much time to socialize because of my job. Ideally, I'd like to have more time to study so I can excel(突出) at my courses. Yes, I have a lot on my plate, but working hard isn't new for me. Growing up, I have been cultivated the importance of working hard for what I want in life. My dream is to get a job in the NHS. But now, I'm just focused on trying to get the best grades I can. Whenever I find life hard, I tell myself this is about my future. 5．Why does the author work long hours every week? A．To pay for his own living expenses. B．To pay for his tuition fees. C．To prove his ability to earn money. D．To help his parents pay off the debts. 6．What does the underlined word “eligible” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A．Responsible.　　　 B．Anxious. C．Qualified. D．Accessible. 7．Which of the following CANNOT be used to describe the author? A．Determined. B．Hardworking. C．Sociable. D．Ambitious. 【语篇解读】　本文是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己七岁时随父母从尼日利亚移居英国但一直未能申请到英国的“定居”身份，从而没有资格申请学生贷款，只能拼命打工求学的经历。 5．解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句The only way I could afford to go to university was that I got a job that would pay for all my living costs and my parents paid for my tuition fees.可知A项正确。 6．解析：选C　词义猜测题。responsible 负责的；anxious 焦急的；qualified 有资格的；accessible 易接近的。根据第四段第一句Unfortunately, though I had applied for “settled”British residential status, the Home Office waited until I was in the sixth form to approve my application.可知尽管作者已经申请了英国“定居”身份，但英国内政部推迟到他上六年级才批准。由此可知作者没有申请学生贷款的资格，故C项正确。 7．解析：选C　推理判断题。根据文章第五段第一句I don't have much time to socialize because of my job.可知作者因为忙于打工没有时间去社交，所以C项正确。 Ⅱ.七选五 The world is a colorful landscape of different languages, skin colors, and different cultures. It's important to have a good understanding of different cultures in order to become a well-rounded person 1 One way is to read books written by authors from a particular culture. Reading works by authors who have a close relationship with a particular culture allows people to gain an authentic glimpse into the food, music, language, religion, and way of a life of a particular group of people. 2 Another way to learn about different cultures is to try to learn a foreign language. 3 A person can choose a language she has always wanted to learn and locate learning programs to help her master the language. Besides, one can enroll in a foreign language class in order to learn in a more formal setting. One can also try to visit areas of the city to establish social connection with native speakers of the language. 4 Seek out restaurants that feature authentic food from a variety of countries. Food is an important part of different cultures and allows people to gain deep understanding into a particular cultural group's way of life. Communicating with people from other countries through email or snail mail is another useful way to become familiar with different cultures. 5 Various websites offer pen pal services, offering to connect individuals with pen friends around the world. A．Trying authentic food from a specific cultural group is also a great idea. B．The Internet has made it possible to communicate with others from different countries. C．Making contact with native speakers of the language allows one to gain firsthand knowledge. D．There are several ways to become knowledgeable about different cultures. E．Stories based on a local culture expose one to a different culture. F．One way to develop this appreciation is to try to team about other cultures around the world. G．A variety of language-learning books, software, and audio programs is available. 【语篇解读】　这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了世界是不同语言、肤色和不同文化的丰富多彩的景观，重要的是培养对不同文化的欣赏。文章介绍了几种可以培养对不同文化欣赏的方法。 1．解析：选D　前文It's important to have a good understanding of different cultures in order to become a well-rounded.(重要的是培养对不同文化的欣赏，以便成为一个全面发展的人) 与D.
