八年级下册 Unit 6 Crossing Cultures期末阅读表达专项训练题 基础篇 阅读表达一 April 20 is the United Nations Chinese Language Day. It is a day to celebrate the beauty of the Chinese language and help more people around the world learn about Chinese culture. Many foreign students take part in activities like writing calligraphy, learning Chinese folk songs, and making paper cuttings on this day. For example, a 16-year-old British girl named Lily joined a Chinese calligraphy competition last year. She wrote the characters “Ping An” (Peace and Safety) on a red paper fan. She said, “I learned Chinese because I want to talk with my pen pal in Shanghai. At first, I found the characters hard to write, but as soon as I kept practicing every day, I made great progress. I also learned that red means good luck in China, so I chose a red fan for my work.” Teachers at the event said, “We hope students can understand that learning a language is not just about words. It’s also about the culture behind them. If they respect different cultures, they will find it easier to communicate with people from all over the world.” 1. When is the United Nations Chinese Language Day? 2. Why did Lily start learning Chinese? 3. What does the color red mean in Chinese culture according to the passage? 4. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese. 5. Give a proper title for the passage.   阅读表达二 Every country has its own social manners, and knowing them helps us communicate better with people from different cultures. Here are some common examples: Greetings are different around the world. In China, people usually shake hands gently when they meet for the first time. In Japan, people bow to show respect. The deeper the bow, the more respect they want to show. In many Western countries, friends often hug or kiss each other on the cheek when they meet. Body language also has different meanings. A thumbs-up means “good job” in China and the US, but it is rude in some Middle Eastern countries. Nodding the head usually means “yes” in most places, but in Bulgaria, it means “no”. If we want to have good cross-cultural communication, we should learn about these differences. We also need to be patient and open-minded, so that we can build good relationships with people from all cultures. 1. How do people in Japan greet each other to show respect? 2. What does a thumbs-up mean in China and the US? 3. What should we do to have good cross-cultural communication according to the passage? 4. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese. 5. Give a proper title for the passage.   阅读表达三 Last summer, Nancy went to study in France for a month. At first, she faced some cultural differences that made her feel embarrassed. One day, she was invited to a French friend’s birthday party. She wore a casual T-shirt and shorts, but everyone else was dressed nicely. She later learned that French people usually dress well for parties because they want to show respect to the host. Another time, she asked her friend how old she was, but her friend seemed uncomfortable. Her teacher told her that French people are private, so it’s not polite to ask personal questions like age or salary unless you know them very well. Nancy soon learned to follow the local customs. She dressed properly for different occasions and stopped asking personal questions. She also learned to greet people with a light kiss on the cheek, which is common among friends in France. Nancy said, “I used to worry about making mistakes, but I realized that if you are polite and willing to learn, people will be happy to help you. These experiences taught me that understanding cultural differences is the key to good cross-cultural communication.” 1. Why did Nancy feel embarrassed at the French birthday party? 2. What kind of questions should we avoid asking when we first meet French people? 3. What did Nancy learn to do to fit in with French culture? 4. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese. 5. Give a proper title for the passage. 进阶篇  阅读表达四 When travelling to other countries, it’s important to know some local customs. Today let’s talk about dining manners in different countries. In Thailand, people use spoons and forks instead of chopsticks. They never put food into their mouths with forks directly. Also, it’s polite to leave a little food on the plate after meals. It shows that you are full and you have enjoyed the food. In India, most people eat with their right hands. They think the left hand is not clean, so they never use it for eating. What’s more, do not start eating until the host begins. Good dining manners help us get on well with local people. When we know different dining rules, we will not make silly mistakes during meals. 1. What do people use to eat in Thailand? 2. Why do people in India use right hands to eat? 3. When can we start eating in India? 4. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese. 5. Give a proper title for the passage.   阅读表达五 Now more and more students choose to take part in international summer camps. It is a great way to experience different cultures. Tom is a Chinese boy who joined a summer camp in Australia last year. At first, he was nervous about communicating with foreign kids. Soon he found they were friendly and outgoing. Australian students like talking about outdoor sports and animals. Tom learned a lot about Australian animals such as kangaroos and koalas. He also found some small cultural differences. Australian students usually call their teachers by their first names. In China, we always use respectful titles. Besides, they are very independent. They like to solve problems by themselves. Tom said the summer camp was wonderful. It helped him improve his English and understand Australian culture better. He hopes to take part in more cross-cultural activities in the future. 1. Where did Tom join the summer camp last year? 2. What do Australian students like talking about? 3. What are Australian students like according to the passage? 4. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese. 5. Give a proper title for the passage.   参考答案 阅读表达一 1. It is on April 20. 2. Because she wanted to talk with her pen pal in Shanghai. 3. It means good luck. 4. 起初，我觉得汉字很难写，但我一开始坚持每天练习，就取得了很大的进步。 5. 示例：Celebrating Chinese Language Day / Lily’s Love for Chinese Culture 阅读表达二 1. They bow to show respect.
