It helps people communicate with others from different countries easily. However, AI cannot fully cross the cultural gap. Why? Because language is not just about words; it is also closely related to culture, emotion and context. For example, in English, people often say “It’s raining cats and dogs” when it is raining heavily. If an AI translates this sentence word by word, it will become “天上下猫和狗”, which is meaningless to Chinese people. AI can translate the words, but it cannot understand the emotion and cultural meaning behind the sentence. Another example: in some cultures, nodding means “yes” and shaking the head means “no”, but in some other cultures, it is the opposite. AI may not know this difference and will make mistakes in translation. What’s more, in important business deals or diplomatic meetings, we still need human translators, because they can understand the cultural background and adjust the translation according to the situation. In short, AI is a helpful assistant in cross-cultural communication, but it cannot replace human translators. To truly understand a different culture, we need to learn more about it and communicate with people from that culture directly. 1. What is the main idea of the passage? A. AI translation is perfect for cross-cultural communication. B. AI translation has many advantages and no disadvantages. C. AI cannot fully cross the cultural gap in communication. D. Human translators will be replaced by AI soon. 2. The underlined phrase “It’s raining cats and dogs” means ______ in Chinese. A. 天上下猫和狗 B. 下小雨 C. 下大雨 D. 天气晴朗 3. Why can’t AI fully cross the cultural gap? A. Because AI cannot translate words correctly. B. Because AI cannot understand the emotion and cultural meaning behind language. C. Because AI is not popular enough. D. Because AI is too expensive to use. 4. In which situation do we still need human translators? A. Chatting with friends online. B. Reading foreign books for fun. C. Having important business deals. D. Watching foreign movies. 5. What can we learn from the passage? A. We don’t need to learn foreign languages because of AI translation. B. AI translation is useless in cross-cultural communication. C. To understand a different culture, we need to communicate directly with people from that culture. D. AI can understand all cultural differences. B When you visit a foreign country, it’s important to know about the local customs and manners. This can help you avoid embarrassment and show respect to the local people. Here are some tips for you when you travel to different countries. In France, you should not arrive early for a party. It is normal to arrive on time or a few minutes late. If you arrive early, the host may still be preparing for the party, and you will make them feel embarrassed. Also, it’s polite to bring a small gift, such as chocolates or flowers, to thank the host for holding the party. When talking to French people, you should avoid asking personal questions, such as their age, family or income. Food and culture are safe topics to talk about. In Japan, bowing is a common greeting. The depth of the bow depends on the relationship between you and the person you are greeting. You should bow deeper to elders or people with higher status. When you enter a Japanese family’s house or a traditional restaurant, you must take off your shoes. It’s also rude to point at others with your fingers or chopsticks. In India, people greet each other by pressing their palms together and bowing, saying “Namaste”. It’s polite to use your right hand to eat, give or receive things, because the left hand is considered unclean. Also, cows are very special in India, so you should never hurt or disturb them. Remember: “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” Learning about local customs can make your trip more enjoyable and meaningful. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 1. What is the main purpose of the passage? A.
