(2026·温州二模)After taking an introductory course in global health last winter, Yashaswi Bista, president of Stanford SupplyHer, was empowered to take action against malaria—a disease that has been claiming hundreds of thousands of lives every year for centuries.
Stanford SupplyHer, a student group supporting women's health through art, hosted an event in partnership with United to Beat Malaria (UBM) to encourage funding for malaria prevention, treatment and research initiatives while tabling at White Plaza last Monday. “Knowing that malaria is especially dangerous to pregnant individuals and children makes advocacy for malaria funding and research essential for our mission,” said Bista.
“We in the U. S. need to be aware of the impact of global warming on malaria because less developed countries in other parts of the world are more heavily affected by our emissions,” Bista said. Last year, the U. S. experienced its first local outbreaks of malaria since 2003. Infectious disease experts have warned that climate change will spread malaria and other diseases carried by mosquitoes to areas that were once free of malaria.
This summer, after discovering the work of UBM, a global grassroots campaign of the UN Foundation, Bista met with her congressional (国会的) representatives to advocate for malaria treatment and research. To support continued funding for global malaria programs, Bista wrote to officials in Congress. “It's easy for people to feel like they are powerless with issues as big as malaria. But any person can give input to their decision makers on issues as big as these,” wrote Maegan Cross, a senior advocate at UBM. “By sending messages to your elected officials in support of global health funding, you are making sure your voice is heard.”
Bista encouraged students to become involved in initiatives on campus to spread awareness of malaria and other global health issues. “Global health is important to me because there are so many health inequities (不平等) around the world and health itself is important to live a fulfilling life,” Bista said. “Because there are so many health inequities around the world, I want to raise awareness and help people live fulfilling lives.”
【解题导语】 本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了斯坦福大学的一个学生团体与“联合抗击疟疾”组织合作举办活动,鼓励为疟疾的预防、治疗和研究项目提供资金的事情。

(2026·邵阳第二次联考)In today's interconnected world, cross-cultural communication has emerged as a vital skill for fostering international cooperation and social harmony. Britain, with its centuries-old history of absorbing diverse influences and its current multicultural landscape, serves as an ideal example of how tradition and modernity can coexist to bridge cultural gaps.
The roots of British cultural adaptability trace back to ancient times. When the Romans invaded Britain in 55 BCE, they not only established management systems but also constructed public facilities such as roads and Hadrian's Wall—a massive defensive structure marking the northern border of their empire. These innovations not only managed conflicts with Celtic tribes but also laid the foundation for future cultural exchanges. Today, this legacy of blending old and new remains evident. For instance, the British Parliament maintains strict dress codes requiring formal suits and robes (长袍) during sessions, symbolizing respect for tradition. Meanwhile, modern Britain embraces literary festivals and experimental theater productions, reflecting its dynamic engagement with contemporary artistic expression.
However, navigating cultural differences remains challenging. In international business settings, British professionals often prioritize building trust through indirect communication and tea-break small talk, while their American counterparts favor straightforward discussions to get straight to the point. Research by the London Business School (2022) reveals that 68% of cross-Atlantic negotiations face delays due to these contrasting styles. Americans may interpret British politeness as indecision, whereas Britons perceive American directness as impersonal and overlay focused only on business deals.
Language differences further test cultural sensitivity. A simple phrase like “I'll consider it” in British English often means a polite refusal, whereas Americans might take it literally as openness to further discussion. Even gestures differ: maintaining eye contact is seen as confident in the U. S. but may be viewed as aggressive in some British contexts.
To address these challenges, educational institutions play a key role. Universities like Oxford and Cambridge now offer courses such as Global Communication Strategies, where students role-play negotiation scenes and analyze case studies of multinational corporations. Such training emphasized empathy, active listening, and adapting communication styles to diverse audiences. As globalization continued to erase borders, mastering these skills becomes not just beneficial but essential for building a more inclusive world.
【解题导语】 本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨了跨文化沟通的历史根基与现代挑战,强调了通过教育培养文化敏感性的重要性,并指出理解并适应文化差异是促进国际合作与社会和谐的关键。
5.What can be known about the purpose of the Romans building Hadrian's Wall?
A.To establish trade routes with Celtic tribes.
B.To mark the southern border of the Roman Empire.
C.To showcase advanced architectural skills.
D.To manage conflicts and control territory.
D 解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中的“When the Romans...future cultural exchanges.”可知,罗马人建造哈德良长城的目的是管理冲突和控制领土。
6.What can be inferred about British and American negotiation style from paragraph 3?
A.Their differences may lead to misunderstandings.
B.They both value long-term relationships equally.
C.Americans prefer indirect communication.
D.British negotiators focus on short-term gains.
A 解析:推理判断题。根据第三段内容可推知,英国和美国在谈判风格上有差异,这些差异可能导致误解。
7.What does the underlined word “impersonal” mean in the context of American negotiators?
A.Friendly and emotional.
B.Aggressive and rude.
C.Emotionally distant and formal.
D.Humorous and casual.
C 解析:词义猜测题。根据第三段中的“Britons perceive American...focused only on business deals”可知,英国人认为美国人过于专注生意,这种直截了当使情感上疏远,而且过于正式。C项与画线词为同义词。
8.What might the author discuss next regarding cross-cultural communication training?
A.The history of Roman education systems.
B.Specific methods used in university courses.
C.How technology replaces traditional teaching.
D.Economic costs of cultural misunderstandings.
B 解析:推理判断题。根据最后一段前两句可推知,作者接下来可能会讨论大学课程中使用的具体方法。
