Unit3 Diverse Cultures单元测试卷 考试时间：90分钟 总分：100分 班级： 姓名： 学号： 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分45分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The United States is often described as a “melting pot” of cultures, a term that suggests different immigrant groups blend together, losing their distinct identities to form a single American culture. However, many sociologists now prefer the term “salad bowl” or “mosaic.” This metaphor indicates that while different cultural groups coexist within one society, they also maintain their unique traditions, languages, and customs, contributing to the nation’s overall diversity. For instance, neighborhoods like Chinatown in San Francisco or Little Italy in New York allow these cultures to preserve their heritage while still being part of the larger American tapestry. This cultural diversity is seen as a source of national strength, innovation, and richness. 1. What is the main difference between the “melting pot” and “salad bowl” metaphors? A. The “melting pot” is about food, while the “salad bowl” is about art. B. The “melting pot” suggests blending into one culture, while the “salad bowl” suggests maintaining distinct identities within a whole. C. The “melting pot” is an older term, and the “salad bowl” is newer, but they mean the same thing. D. The “melting pot” refers only to European immigrants. 2. Why are Chinatown and Little Italy mentioned in the text? A. To show that some cultures refuse to adapt. B. As examples of cultural preservation within a diverse society. C. To prove that the “melting pot” idea is correct. D. To indicate where the best food in America is. 3. How is cultural diversity viewed in the text? A. As a problem that causes conflict. B. As a source of national strength and richness. C. As unimportant to a country’s development. D. As a temporary phase in a country’s history. B Cultural adaptation is the process individuals go through when adjusting to a new cultural environment. It often involves stages: the initial “honeymoon phase” of excitement, followed by a “culture shock” phase of frustration and confusion as differences become apparent, and finally, gradual adjustment and acceptance. For example, an international student might struggle with different classroom etiquette, communication styles, or social norms. Successful adaptation doesn’t mean giving up one’s original culture. Rather, it often leads to “biculturalism”—the ability to function effectively in both cultures. This process requires an open mind, patience, and a willingness to learn from mistakes. 4. What typically characterizes the “culture shock” phase? A. Excitement and curiosity about everything new. B. Frustration and confusion due to cultural differences. C. Complete comfort and familiarity with the new culture. D. A decision to return to one’s home country immediately. 5. What is “biculturalism” as described in the text? A. Forgetting one’s original culture entirely. B. The ability to function effectively in two different cultures. C. Criticizing both the old and new cultures. D. Living in two countries at the same time. 6. What qualities are helpful for cultural adaptation? A. A closed mind and strict routines. B. An open mind, patience, and willingness to learn. C. Avoiding interaction with locals. D. Expecting the new culture to be exactly like one’s own. C Language is a core carrier of culture. When a language disappears, a unique way of seeing the world, along with stories, traditions, and knowledge accumulated over generations, is at risk of being lost forever. It is estimated that nearly half of the world’s approximately 7,000 languages are endangered. Globalization and the dominance of major languages like English, Mandarin, and Spanish are key factors. To combat this, efforts are underway globally. Some communities are establishing language immersion schools for children, while linguists work with elders to document languages before the last fluent speakers pass away. UNESCO’s International Mother Language Day (February 21) aims to promote linguistic and cultural diversity. 7. Why is the loss of a language considered significant? A. Because it makes travel more difficult. B. Because it represents the loss of a unique cultural worldview and heritage. C. Because it always leads to the loss of political power. D. Because it only affects older people. 8. What is a major cause of language endangerment mentioned in the text? A. Lack of interest in talking. B. The dominance of major global languages due to globalization. C. All languages naturally die out over time. D. Governments banning small languages. 9. What is one method used to preserve endangered languages? A. Forcing everyone to learn only the endangered language. B. Establishing language immersion schools for children. C. Preventing people from speaking major languages. D. Ignoring the problem until it solves itself. D Cultural appropriation versus cultural appreciation is a topic of much debate. Cultural appropriation refers to taking or using elements from a minority culture, often without permission or understanding, and typically for profit or trendiness, while members of that culture may have been discriminated against for those same elements. An example could be a fashion brand using sacred Native American headdresses as a costume accessory. Cultural appreciation, on the other hand, involves respectfully learning about another culture, acknowledging its significance, and often giving credit. It is characterized by a desire to understand and honor, not to own or distort. The key difference often lies in context, respect, and power dynamics. Engaging with other cultures is positive, but it should be done thoughtfully to avoid reducing sacred traditions to mere fashion or entertainment. 10. What is the primary criticism of cultural appropriation? A. It makes cultures too popular. B. It involves taking and misusing cultural elements without respect or understanding, often while the source culture is marginalized. C. It prevents any cultural exchange from happening. D. It is only done by large corporations. 11. How is cultural appreciation different from appropriation? A. Appreciation involves taking things without asking. B. Appreciation involves respectful learning, acknowledgment, and honor. C. They are essentially the same thing with different names. D. Appreciation is only for scholars. 12. What does the author suggest about engaging with other cultures? A. It should be avoided to prevent mistakes. B. It is always negative and harmful. C. It is positive but should be done thoughtfully and respectfully. D. Only people from that culture should engage with it. 13. The phrase “power dynamics” in the text likely refers to ______. A. electrical power in different countries B. the balance of social and economic power between different cultural groups C. physical strength of individuals D. the power of governments 14. Which of the following might be considered cultural appreciation? A. Wearing a traditional garment as a Halloween costume without knowing its meaning. B. A musician collaborating with traditional artists, learning from them, and sharing royalties. C. Using a religious symbol as a company logo without consultation. D. Calling a food from another culture “weird” or “gross.” 15. What is the author’s overall tone regarding this topic? A. Encouraging unregulated borrowing from all cultures. B. Neutral and purely informational without an opinion. C. Advocating for thoughtful and respectful cross-cultural engagement. D. Dismissive of the concerns about cultural appropriation. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Be a Respectful Traveler Traveling exposes us to diverse cultures, which is a wonderful opportunity for personal growth.
