Section Ⅳ　“Developing ideas”的课文习读环节 [课时跟踪检测] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A A documentary (纪录片) about Du Fu, a great Chinese poet, has caught the attention of many people. It was produced by a British director named Michael Wood. It seemed impossible to show the life of the Sage of Poetry (诗圣) in a one-hour documentary and make sure foreign audience could get the culture and spirit of the East. But Michael Wood did it. More works, such as The Story of China, The Story of China's Reform and Opening Up, have not only touched many in the West, but also been accepted and appreciated by Chinese audience. In Wood's view, there are already plenty of works about China's rapid economic growth, but many in the West want to know more about its history and culture. He wishes his documentaries can reach the viewers' hearts. To make it as objective and truthful as possible, Wood reached out to many Chinese people who were kind and warm-hearted. Wood recalled that in Shexian County in Anhui Province, a shopkeeper took them around to see the beautiful scenery and helped them with shooting and recording, which left him a deep impression. Wood's documentaries are full of his love for the Chinese culture, and he managed to pass on that to his audience with different culture experiences. 语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道，主要报道的是英国导演迈克尔·伍德拍摄的关于中国文化和历史的纪录片以及拍摄这些纪录片的目的。 1．What do we know about the documentary about Du Fu? A．It was Wood's first work about China. B．It was produced by an American director. C．It shows the life of a famous Chinese poet. D．It tells us economic development in China. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It seemed impossible ...Michael Wood did it.”可知，迈克尔·伍德拍摄的纪录片中，展示了中国诗圣杜甫的人生。故选C。 2．According to Wood, what do western people want to know more about China? A．History.　　　　　 B．Scenery. C．Tourism. D．Education. 解析：选A　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“In Wood's view ...history and culture.”可知，在伍德看来，很多西方人想更多地了解中国的历史和文化。故选A。 3．Why did Wood recall his experience in Shexian County? A．To promote the beautiful scenery in the country. B．To show Chinese people's kindness and warmth. C．To tell us how difficult it was to create the work. D．To make his documentary popular and interesting. 解析：选B　推理判断题。根据第四段中的“To make it as objective and truthful as possible, Wood reached out to many Chinese people who were kind and warm-hearted.”可知，伍德回忆他在歙县的经历是为了展示中国人民的善良和热情。故选B。 4．What's the best title for the passage? A．The Life Story of Michael Wood B．Western Audience's New Interests C．China's Rapid Economic Development D．Michael Wood and His Documentaries 解析：选D　标题归纳题。根据首段的内容和下文介绍伍德拍摄中国纪录片的目的可知，本文主要介绍的是英国导演迈克尔·伍德拍摄的关于中国的纪录片，以此来宣传中国的文化和历史，让更多的外国人了解中国，所以D项“迈克尔·伍德和他的纪录片”适合作为最佳标题。故选D。 B One side effect of globalization and the related phenomenon of greatly increased mobility (流动性) is that the_traditional_definition_of_“foreigner”_has_passed_its_“best-before_date”． Is a European who has lived in China longer than in his home country, becoming fluent in the language and knowing the culture well in the process, still a foreigner in China, or has he become more of a foreigner in his own hometown? What about a Beijinger who had her schooling in Canada and then lived and worked there for another 20 years while raising a family who has no intention of returning to China？Does she think and act like a foreigner? What do we mean by this label (标签)? When I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, the faces I would see during a walk through a local shopping mall back in the 1960s and 1970s included almost none of Asian descent (血统)．Today the local malls are full of Asian faces, and a glance at the ranks of top scoring students in local schools reveals lots of Asian surnames. To some extent, this is no great surprise in the American context, because America is a land of immigrants, and a cultural melting pot.Apart from the native American Indians, Americans are (or were)，in some way, all foreigners anyway.Absorbing a large number of immigrants is an established pattern in American history. In most places, the traditional foreigners were people who didn't speak or read the local languages well and were unfamiliar with local customs and lifestyles.But, nowadays, a foreigner walking down the street may have better SAT scores than you, or a higher degree from a better university. The traditional role models are getting mixed up, and it looks like this is just the beginning of a new chapter.Today, the whole thing has totally changed.It's not about where people are from or what color their skins are.It's about who they are, what values and skills they bring, and how they think. 语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文，主要论述了随着全球化的发展和人口流动性的大幅增加，传统意义上的“外国人”的概念已发生了根本性的变化，人们需要对此重新定义。 5．What does the underlined part in paragraph 1 mean? A．The term “foreigner” should be redefined. B．The term “foreigner” should no longer be used. C．There are no more foreigners in the world today. D．The term “foreigner” is not proper to define people. 解析：选A　句意理解题。分析第一段的内容可知，画线部分表示传统意义上对于“外国人”的定义已经“过期”。由此可知，如今对“外国人”的定义已发生了很大的变化，应重新定义“外国人”一词。 6．What does the author tend to tell us by mentioning a European and a Beijinger? A．It's no longer proper to define foreigners according to their birthplaces. B．The label of foreigners can never be removed. C．Most foreigners can do well in learning languages. D．It's impossible for a foreigner to get recognition abroad. 解析：选A　推理判断题。根据第一段的内容及第二段中列举一个欧洲人和一个北京人的例子可推出，根据出生地来定义“外国人”已经不合时宜了。 7．What can be inferred from the third paragraph? A．In 1960s and 1970s, Asians didn't shop in Chicago. B．Today, more and more Asian travellers like to shop in Chicago. C．There are more Asian people today than in the 1960s and 1970s in Chicago. D．Most Asian students do well academically in the schools in Chicago. 解析：选C　推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可推出，当今在芝加哥的亚洲人比20世纪60年代和70年代多。 8．What's the main idea of the passage? A．Globalization and mobility have caused more and more immigrants. B．The standards of defining “foreigner” have thoroughly changed. C．America is a cultural melting pot. D．Immigration is a global social phenomenon. 解析：选B　主旨大意题。本文主要叙述了随着全球化的发展和全球人口流动性大幅增加，传统的对“外国人”的定义已发生了巨大的变化，应该重新定义，而且“foreigner”一词贯穿全文。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五 Globalization has brought different cultures together in a way unimaginable one hundred years ago.Today, Chinese, Indians, Arabs, Africans, Anglos, and Hispanics may all work in the same offices, attend the same schools or live in the same neighborhoods.As cultures meet with each other, many differences stand out.__9__ We want to show, however, that there is more to these cultures than diversity.Let's take examples of the following old proverbs. “Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.” “One falsehood spoils a thousand truths.” “Be honest to those who are honest and those who are not honest.” “A sacrifice is spoiled by a lie and the merit of devotion by an act of cheating.” __10__ These seem to be a sort of cultural unity. We don't want to imply all cultures are the same.Cultural diversity is real, and people from different cultures view many situations in different ways.__11__ They are justice, courage, patience, generosity, equality, mercy, kindness, respect for the elders and many more.Lying and stealing appear to be wrong no matter where you go.Perhaps some cultures make room for extenuating (情有可原的) circumstances more than others; perhaps different cultures apply these virtues in different ways; and when values are inconsistent, different cultures may place different levels of importance on them. __12__ But both cultures may still value both. To us, it seems as if there is some sort of code of right and wrong that everyone in the world seems to understand, regardless of culture.It is almost as if, behind all of the diversity, one finds a common understanding — a human culture — that goes beyond racial, social, and political boundaries.__13__ A．And our society has lately stressed the importance of diversity. B．All people seem to agree that we ought to have unique culture. C．Each value supports more sayings from different cultures. D．These sayings from four separate cultures all support the same value — honesty. E．However, historically, different cultures seem to share a great many common values. F．It is almost as if, despite all our differences, we are all still the same — we are just people. G．For example, one culture may lean more toward justice and another culture more toward mercy. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了全球化将不同的文化聚集在一起，尽管我们有很多不同，但我们仍然是一样的——我们都是人类。 9．选A　下文由however引出了“文化不仅有多样性”，however表转折，故可推知本句应强调多样性的重要性。故A项“我们的社会最近也强调了多样性的重要性”符合语境。 10．选D　上文介绍了关于诚实的谚语，下文说这些似乎有一种文化统一性，可知本句是在总结上文这些谚语所体现的价值观：诚实。故D项“这些来自四种不同文化的谚语都支持同样的价值观——诚实”符合语境。 11．选E　由上下文语境可知，本句应与上文提到的文化多样性构成转折，引出不同的文化中存在哪些共同价值观，后文则进行了具体列举。故E项“然而，从历史上看，不同的文化似乎有很多共同的价值观”符合语境。 12．选G　上文提到当价值观不一致时，不同的文化可能会对他们有不同程度的重视，本句承接上文，针对这一现象进行具体举例，故G项“例如，一种文化可能更倾向于正义，而另一种文化可能更倾向于仁慈”符合语境且后文both cultures指代G项中“one culture”和“and another culture”。 13．选F　上文提到人们找到了一个可理解的共同之处——人类文化，它超越了种族、社会和政治的界限。本句为本段最后一句，说明尽管人与人之间有很多不同，但“我们都是人”是共性的，与标题相呼应。故F项“这就好像，尽管我们有很多不同，但我们都一样——我们都是人”符合语境。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
