Unit 3 Diverse Cultures.单元阅读和完形填空综合练习 一、阅读理解。 A篇 I always saw myself as an honest person. The only time I'd ever lied was to protect someone's feelings. But that wasn't really lying. I would tell myself that it was an act of kindness! And then I had a therapy(治疗) period, when I realized that all of this was actually people-pleasing behavior. Not only that, but according to my therapist, by continuously hiding my true feelings to protect those I loved, I was stopping them from ever getting to know the real me. I knew something had to change. So, from that moment, I promised I would never tell another lie again. It was particularly hard at the start. It would take me hours to reply to a “do you like a coffee?” text when my answer was “no”. But gradually, I realized it was not impossible, because more often than not, I'd tell the truth when I have to cancel the appointment with friends, but instead of being disappointed, they would reply, “Oh, I'm delighted that you tell the truth.” If there is any difference, by telling the truth, I was becoming closer to those I really connected with, and gently letting go of those I didn't. Some did struggle at first because they weren't used to my honesty. But slowly, people began to express their gratitude for my newfound honesty. I'll never forget the first time a friend thanked me for it: “I feel so safe in our friendship because I know if I've upset you, you'll just tell me!” That's why I'm fully committed to maintaining(保持) honesty. I have no idea where it will take me, but at least I'll always be living a life of total authenticity. My experience inspired me to write a children's novel about a girl who couldn't lie. I've dedicated(把……献给) it to my younger self, and I hope it also encourages a new generation to do what I've only just learned: to tell the truth. 1.The author decided to stop lying when ___.( ) A.she received treatment B.she became a therapist C.she made her friends happy D.she wanted to protect someone's feelings 2.What made the author believe it is possible to tell the truth?( ) A.Her friends' supportive responses. B.Her unique way to tell the truth. C.Her therapist's encouragement. D.Her trust in her friends. 3.What does the underlined word “authenticity” in paragraph 4 mean?( ) A.Creativity. B.Humor. C.Truth. D.Greatness. 4.What does the author want the new generation to do in the last paragraph?( ) A.Be honest people. B.Avoid unnecessary conversations. C.Write books to encourage children to be happy. D.Keep a balance between telling lies and the truth. B篇 “When I was young, I had so much energy and I loved building stuff. If I had an idea, I had to build it right away using whatever I could find around me,” says Danish recycle artist Thomas Dambo. When Dambo was just seven years old, he bought some materials from the local market to construct a game room in his parents' basement. As a teenager, he built a “crazy” castle in his backyard. Decades later, 42-year-old Dambo is proudly surveying his latest creation: a troll(巨人) called Little Lui. Towering at five meters tall, Little Lui is one of the six trolls hidden in secret corners of the Peel region of Western Australia as part of Thomas Dambo Giants of Mandurah, an Australian-first exhibition, which will be on show for at least a year. Dambo has made many impressive trolls, which have found homes in the United States, Belgium, China, Denmark, South Korea and so on. “For me, trolls represent the voice of nature,” Dambo says. This deep respect for the natural world is a central message of Dambo's practice. Dambo's trolls are made almost entirely from locally sourced recycled wood: their faces from secondhand furniture and their hair from branches and leaves. Taking about 750 hours to complete, each troll is constructed out in nature. “We are slowly turning the world into a landfill. I hope that by visiting the trolls, people will think of rubbish as a resource. I think it's really important that the next generation is connected to nature,” Dambo says. “That's why I tried to design the trolls to appeal to younger people. I want people to be inspired to play and experiment, and to realize they don't need a lot to create something big and beautiful. Go out, go around the corner and take advantage of whatever is there — you will find a lot of adventure in your own backyard.” 1.Which of the following can best describe young Dambo?( ) A.Creative. B.Generous. C.Independent. D.Courageous. 2.What do you know about Little Lui?( ) A.It is kept underground. B.It is Dambo's first creation. C.It will be shown to the public. D.It will be sent to foreign countries. 3.Which part of trolls does paragraph 3 stress?( ) A.Their basic theme. B.Their artistic value. C.Their expensive materials. D.Their building procedures. 4.What does Dambo intend to do with his trolls?( ) A.Inspire more people to take adventures. B.Encourage the young to approach nature. C.Help people spend less time playing games. D.Call on the young to save natural resources. 二、七选五(。 Culture often refers to things like food, holidays, clothing, and music, but it also goes much deeper than that. 1.___ So when we meet people from different backgrounds, we can sometimes find that there are big differences in how we see the world, even if we speak the same language. One of the best ways to understand others' cultures is to first examine your own. Do you take your shoes off when you go inside? 2.___ In Japan, you would never go inside without swapping your outdoor shoes for slippers, whereas in the US, many people don't bother taking their shoes off when they come in. Therefore, it's so important to understand your place in the world, which will help you understand other people better too. 3.___ When you meet people from a different culture, you can politely ask them about their lives. Seek out books or watch movies by and about people who're different from you. Additionally, you can immerse yourself in a different culture through travel to understand how different other lifestyles can be. However, sometimes, learning a lot about a different culture can lead you into a trap. You may think you know much about a culture, which may lead you to show off your knowledge when you meet someone from that background. But it's a problem to assume that everyone from one particular culture has the same attitudes and experiences. Your assumptions that lead you to pre-judge others can be harmful. 4.___ Differences between us are what make life so interesting. So accept the differences between yourself and your friends from different cultures. 5.___ In detail, ask questions if your friends are open to it, but also learn how to just silently observe and appreciate the differences that make us unique. A.It is a simple thing, but it's a huge marker of culture! B.Learning is another great way to understand different cultures. C.Behaviors, customs, beliefs, and values are also part of your culture. D.To achieve it, do strike a balance between curiosity and appreciation. E.So don't do it to others even if you understand their culture really well. F.The more you learn, the more used you get to respecting cultural differences. G.Wherever you live, there are probably immigrant communities with their own customs. 三、完形填空。 Walking along the Great Wall is a once-in-a-lifetime dream for many, but Jim Spear has taken it one step . .1. ., spending the last 18 years living in a village beneath (在……之下)the ancient . .2. ..

They had been the best friends since childhood. They would sit on the same bench, eat together and play together at school. One day, a new student named Sumit joined their class. During the break Anmol and Sumit got talking and Anmol gladly found Sumit had a passion for chess. Anmol was crazy about chess but he rarely got a good opponent. Anmol and Sumit started spending more and more time together. Earlier, Rohan and Anmol used to play table tennis during lunch break. But now Anmol never seemed interested. Gradually Rohan started feeling left out. He felt worried and upset at the thought of losing his best friend, but he was at a loss what to do. One day, Rohan urged Anmol to join him in a table tennis game.“Not today, Rohan, I have to complete yesterday's chess game. I am cornered by Sumit but I am not going to give in, ”Anmol said, not noticing the hurt expression on Rohan's face. “Sumit, Sumit! Now you have nobody but Sumit in your heart! You have completely forgotten our friendship!” yelled Rohan. Then he turned around and walked straight away. After that Rohan stopped talking to Anmol and even changed his place in the class. Though he was heartbroken to lose his best friend, he believed that it was Anmol who was to blame. A couple of times Anmol tried talking to Rohan, but Rohan simply looked through him. About a month later, Rohan participated in the campus cross-country race. It was in its last phase. All that remained was the final lap inside the stadium. Rohan was in third place, with Peter and Iqbal, the former champions, ahead of him. The stadium was packed, and the students were all cheering their favorites wildly. “Come on, Iqbal, you are always the best!” “Peter, move. You can beat Iqbal!” “Hold on, Rohan, just another 200 meters to go!” The cries were deafening. When they reached the last hundred meters, Rohan was almost out of breath.
