A
The way the mind works is heavily influenced by culture. Two people from different cultures can look at the same picture and see it in different ways. Culture also teaches people how to see and describe their experiences.
Asians think differently from Westerners because their culture teaches them to care more about society, family and historical background. Western culture, and especially American culture, probably pay more attention to individual(个人的) success and being independent(独立的) of family.
Culture makes Eastern Asians more holistic(全面的). When trying to understand a situation, they like to see the whole picture. They trust feelings and pay attention to relationships because these are valued highly in their culture.
However, Westerners seem to be more analytic. When they try to understand something, Westerners usually prefer to think over small pieces of information first and build their knowledge piece by piece in order to understand the whole picture.
In one research, Japanese and Americans watched and reported what they saw underwater. Most of the Americans started by explaining the details(细节), for example, saying there were large fish in the front on the right. However, the Japanese talked about the environment first. For example, “There is a blue sea. The big fish swam past the green seaweed(海草).”
This research shows the traditional idea that Americans are less interested in social background and place importance on the individual. The Japanese, on the other hand, place more importance on social background.
( ) 21. What does the writer think heavily influences the way the mind works?
A. Success. B. Family. C. Experience. D. Culture.
( ) 22. What do Eastern Asians value highly in their culture?
A. Health and environment. B. Feelings and relationships.
C. Success and background. D. Experiences and works.
( ) 23. What does the underlined word “analytic” probably mean?
A. Good at thinking. B. Busy with studying.
C. Tired of explaining. D. Interested in painting.
( ) 24. Why does the writer introduce the research in paragraph 5?
A. To explain how the mind works.
B. To show why the research is successful.
C. To give an example of how mind works differently.
D. To tell the reason why people have different interests.
( ) 25. What is the best title for the text?
A. Thinking Helps Culture Develop
B. Thinking Highly Changes Culture
C. Culture Heavily Influences Thinking
D. Culture Matters Less Than Thinking
B
When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation. I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.
“We didn’t stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.” I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for “holidays” is “vacaciones”. So they did not go to houses where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to houses where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!
We also laughed about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.
This amusing experience made us realize how language differences can sometimes lead to unexpected misunderstandings. Although my friends ran into a few challenges during their trip, these moments turned into unforgettable memories. Through this, they not only experienced British culture but also gained a deeper appreciation for the importance of learning languages. Perhaps next time they visit England, they’ll face signs and directions with more confidence and have a true “DIVERSION”!
( ) 26. What does the underlined word “accommodation” in paragraph 1 mean?
A. restaurants B. gift shops C. places to stay D. views to see
( ) 27. What made the writer’s friends stay at hotels at last?
A. The writer told them to do so.
B. They misunderstood the signs outside the door.
C. They would be able to practice their English.
D. People there were away on holiday.
( ) 28. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. A road sign that says “DIVERSION” in England means you will have fun there.
B. The writer’s friends were stuck in a big hole because of the road sign “DIVERSION”.
C. When British people are away on holiday, they put up a sign saying “NO VACANCIES”.
D. Spanish friends thought “VACANCIES” meant the house was not available to stay.
( ) 29. What does the underlined word “this” in paragraph2 refer to?
A. His friends didn’t stay at “bed and breakfast” houses.
B. Most families were away on holiday.
C. His friends came back with funny stories.
D. He gave advice to his friends before the trip.
( ) 30. Which of the following is the best title for this article?

B. The Importance of Understanding Road Signs

The next day I received a letter from a pen pal in the UK. He told me that his family were also taking part in the celebrations and were very interested in Chinese culture and customs.

四、任务型阅读(共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
When it comes to body language, we often overlook eye contact. Eye contact means looking into another person’s eyes. It can be the key to communicating and behaving well. Eye contact can show feelings such as friendliness, interest and understanding.
In Western countries, it’s important to know about some basic cultures of eye contact in conversations. If you do not use eye contact, Westerners may think that you are not listening to them. What’s more, if you look away, they may also think that you are lying. This may make them get angry at you easily.
However, in many Asian countries, one of the useful suggestions is to look down when you talk with an older person, like a teacher or a parent. It is considered to be polite. These differences can cause problems. For example, while listening to a Western speaker, an Asian person might look down. But the Western speaker might think this person is not interested in what he or she is saying.
Not using eye contact can cause problems, but using too much is not polite either. In many countries, watching other people, especially strangers, for a long time is impolite. This may make them feel nervous.
Cultural differences in body language and communication may lead to misunderstandings between people from different backgrounds. So it’s important to know cultural differences before you go somewhere.
36. What does “eye contact” mean?
37. How may Western people feel if you look away in conversations?
38. What should you do when you talk with an older person in many Asian countries?
39. What do you think of watching strangers for a long time in many countries?
40. Do you think knowing cultural differences is important? Why or why not?

The way the mind works is heavily influenced by culture. Two people from different cultures can look at the same picture and see it in different ways. Culture also teaches people how to see and describe their experiences.
Asians think differently from Westerners because their culture teaches them to care more about society, family and historical background. Western culture, and especially American culture, probably pay more attention to individual(个人的) success and being independent(独立的) of family.
Culture makes Eastern Asians more holistic(全面的). When trying to understand a situation, they like to see the whole picture. They trust feelings and pay attention to relationships because these are valued highly in their culture.
However, Westerners seem to be more analytic. When they try to understand something, Westerners usually prefer to think over small pieces of information first and build their knowledge piece by piece in order to understand the whole picture.
In one research, Japanese and Americans watched and reported what they saw underwater. Most of the Americans started by explaining the details(细节), for example, saying there were large fish in the front on the right. However, the Japanese talked about the environment first. For example, “There is a blue sea. The big fish swam past the green seaweed(海草).”
This research shows the traditional idea that Americans are less interested in social background and place importance on the individual. The Japanese, on the other hand, place more importance on social background.

When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation. I suggested that they should stay at “bed and breakfast” houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.
“We didn’t stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses,” they said, “because we found that most families were away on holiday.” I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought “VACANCIES” meant “holidays”, because the Spanish word for “holidays” is “vacaciones”. So they did not go to houses where the sign outside said “VACANCIES”, which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to houses where the sign said “NO VACANCIES”, because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!
We also laughed about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word “DIVERSION” means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word “DIVERSION” on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road ended in a large hole.
This amusing experience made us realize how language differences can sometimes lead to unexpected misunderstandings. Although my friends ran into a few challenges during their trip, these moments turned into unforgettable memories. Through this, they not only experienced British culture but also gained a deeper appreciation for the importance of learning languages. Perhaps next time they visit England, they’ll face signs and directions with more confidence and have a true “DIVERSION”!

【主旨大意】
本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了作者的西班牙朋友去英国旅行时,因英语水平有限、不理解英文标识含义而产生一系列误会,最终只能住酒店、还误入施工路段的有趣经历,体现了语言差异容易造成误解,也说明了学习语言的重要性。
26.C【26题详解】第一段指出词义:文中提到“how to find accommodation”后,紧接着给出建议“stay at ‘bed and breakfast’ houses”,意为住宿的地方,因此“accommodation”表示“places to stay”。
27.B【27题详解】第二段说明原因:作者的朋友西班牙语中“vacaciones”是假期,于是误以为英文“VACANCIES”表示房主去度假、没房间,而“NO VACANCIES”表示有房间,结果这些房子都住满了,因为误解了门外标识,最终只能住酒店。
28.D【28题详解】第二段判断正误:西班牙朋友认为“VACANCIES”意为“holidays”,即房主外出度假,房子不能入住。
29.B【29题详解】第二段指代内容:“this”出现在“I thought this was strange”一句中,指代前文朋友所说的“most families were away on holiday”这件事,作者对此感到奇怪。
30.D【30题详解】全文总结主旨:文章围绕西班牙朋友在英国旅行时,因语言差异看错标识闹出的一系列搞笑误会展开,核心是旅行中的语言错误。

I also put on my qipao and walked down the street to enjoy the atmosphere (气氛). Many people from different countries smiled at me and said “Xinnianhao”.
At night, there were fireworks over the river in the city center, and the beautiful fireworks made me feel proud to be Chinese.
The next day I received a letter from a pen pal in the UK. He told me that his family were also taking part in the celebrations and were very interested in Chinese culture and customs.

本文讲述了作者在寒假期间前往泰国曼谷,感受到当地浓厚的中国新年氛围,并通过见闻和笔友来信,展现了中国新年在世界各地的影响力。
31.A【31题详解】第二段第一句提到“This winter holiday, I went to the capital city of Thailand, Bangkok.”,因此作者是在这个寒假去了曼谷。
32.D【32题详解】第二段中作者写道“When I first arrived in the city center, I was startled by the sight.”,随后描述了曼谷街头到处是中文新年装饰、人们穿红衣和旗袍的场景。根据上下文,“startled”意为“震惊的”。
33.C【33题详解】第三段提到“the beautiful fireworks made me feel proud to be Chinese.”,因此看到美丽的烟花时作者感到自豪。
34.D【34题详解】第四段提到作者收到英国笔友的来信,信中笔友说他的家人也在参与中国新年庆祝活动,并对中国文化很感兴趣。作者用这个例子说明中国新年在世界范围内受到欢迎。

四、任务型阅读(共5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
When it comes to body language, we often overlook eye contact. Eye contact means looking into another person’s eyes. It can be the key to communicating and behaving well. Eye contact can show feelings such as friendliness, interest and understanding.
In Western countries, it’s important to know about some basic cultures of eye contact in conversations. If you do not use eye contact, Westerners may think that you are not listening to them. What’s more, if you look away, they may also think that you are lying. This may make them get angry at you easily.
However, in many Asian countries, one of the useful suggestions is to look down when you talk with an older person, like a teacher or a parent. It is considered to be polite. These differences can cause problems. For example, while listening to a Western speaker, an Asian person might look down. But the Western speaker might think this person is not interested in what he or she is saying.
Not using eye contact can cause problems, but using too much is not polite either. In many countries, watching other people, especially strangers, for a long time is impolite. This may make them feel nervous.
Cultural differences in body language and communication may lead to misunderstandings between people from different backgrounds. So it’s important to know cultural differences before you go somewhere.
36. What does “eye contact” mean?
37. How may Western people feel if you look away in conversations?
38. What should you do when you talk with an older person in many Asian countries?
39. What do you think of watching strangers for a long time in many countries?
40. Do you think knowing cultural differences is important? Why or why not?
【主旨大意】
本文介绍了眼神交流在不同文化中的不同含义,以及文化差异可能导致的沟通误解。
36. It means looking into another person’s eyes. 【36题详解】第一段提到眼神交流指的是注视对方的眼睛“Eye contact means looking into another person’s eyes”,答案是原文直接信息。
37. They may think that you are lying. 【37题详解】第二段提到如果你在交谈中移开视线,西方人可能会认为你在撒谎“if you look away, they may also think that you are lying”,答案是原文直接信息。
38. We should look down. 【38题详解】第三段提到在许多亚洲国家,与长辈交谈时建议低头“to look down when you talk with an older person”,答案是原文直接信息。
39. It is impolite and may make them feel nervous. 【39题详解】第四段提到长时间盯着别人,尤其是陌生人,是不礼貌的,可能会让对方感到紧张“watching other people, especially strangers, for a long time is impolite. This may make them feel nervous”,整合信息作答。
40. Yes, I do. Because cultural differences may lead to misunderstandings, knowing them helps us communicate better with people from different backgrounds.
