A 教材同步单元练习 一、阅读理解 Passage A Climate change is not just about melting ice caps and rising sea levels.For millions of people living in coastal communities around the world,it is a very real and personal threat that is already shaping their futures.Among these communities,the youth are not just passive victims,they are becoming powerful forces for change and adaptation. In the Pacific Island nation of Fiji,the village of Vunidogoloa became one of the first communities in the world to be forced to relocate entirely due to coastal erosion and saltwater intrusion linked to climate change.The younger generation,who grew up hearing the ocean slowly claim their ancestral lands, realized that traditional ways of life were disappearing.They began to engage in a mix of modemn activism and cultural preservation.Using smartphones and social media,they documented the changes, shared their family stories with a global audience,and participated in virtual global climate strikes However,their actions were not just about protest,they focused on practical solutions.They learned about mangrove restoration not just as an environmental activity,but as a means of protecting their culture and livelihoods. This shift in perspective is common among youth in vulnerable regions.In the coastal city ofAlexandria, Egypt,a group of young engineers and students developed a low-cost,sensor-based early warning system for flash floods.This system,which relies on locally sourced materials and open-source software,can alert residents in a matter of minutes,providing crucial time to move to higher ground.They didn't wait for international aid or large-scale government projects,they adapted global scientific knowledge to their local context. Furthermore,these young leaders are redefining what it means to be resilient.A study conducted in Bangladesh found that young women,who are often the most affected by climate disasters due to societal roles,are becoming the most effective communicators of disaster preparedness.They use informal networks-like mothers'groups and after-school programs-to spread information about cyclone shelters and emergency plans.Their approach is subtle,community-based,and remarkably effective. The resilience of these young people does not stem from a lack of fear or a naive optimism about the future.Instead,it stems from a deep acceptance of their reality and a determination to shape it.They are not waiting for someone to save them.They are learning,innovating,and acting,proving that local action,driven by a global perspective,is one of the most powerful tools we have in our changing world ()1.What was the primary reason for the relocation of Vunidogoloa? A.A major earthquake B.The effects of climate change. C.Ethnic conflicts in the area. D.The construction of a new port. ()2.The young people in Alexandria,Egypt,developed a waming system that is best described as: A.Highly expensive and complex. B.Dependent on foreign technology. C.Adapted to local needs and resources. D.Primarily used for tourism management. ()3.According to the study in Bangladesh,why are young women considered effective communicators? A.They have the most free time. B.They use formal government channels C.They are directly connected to community networks. D.They are the least affected by climate disasters. ()4.What does the article suggest is the source of young people's resilience? A.A naive belief that things will get better. B.Waiting for intemational aid. C.A realistic view of their situation combined with proactive action. D.Relying only on traditional methods. Passage B The concept of trust is a fundamental pillar of human society,yet its definition and application can vary dramatically across cultures.Understanding these differences is not merely an academic exercise;it is a critical skill for effective cross-cultural communication,international business,and global cooperation. What builds trust in one context might actively destroy it in another. In many individualistic cultures,particularly in Northern Europe and North America,trust is often cognitive and performance-based.It is built through a series of demonstrable actions-meeting deadlines,keeping promises,and demonstrating competence.A key statement like"I will deliver the report by Friday"is a commitment that,if kept,gradually builds a reservoir of trust.Here,trust is often explicit,contractual,and depersonalized.A handshake might be seen as symbolizing a deal already agreed upon in principle.This form of trust is often called Swift Trust,which allows teams of strangers to work together effectively on short-term projects. In contrast,many collectivist and relationship-oriented cultures,such as those in parts of East Asia, Latin America,and the Middle East,prioritize affective tust.This type of trust is built on emotional bonds,shared experiences,and personal relationships.It is less about specific performance and more about a holistic assessment of another person's character,integrity,and social standing.In these cultures,trust is not freely given to strangers.It is something that must be eamned over time,often through shared meals,long conversations,and mutual favors.Business meetings may begin with extensive socializing and seemingly unrelated personal questions,which are actually crucial steps in the trust-building process.A direct confrontation or refusal in a meeting might be avoided not to be dishonest,but to preserve the personal relationship,which is considered more valuable than the specific transaction. One notable area of divergence is the handling of mistakes.In a cognitive-trust culture,a mistake is often seen as a breakdown in the system.The appropriate response is to admit the error,analyze the cause,and implement a fix to prevent it from happening again.This process,while potentially embarrassing,is transparent and can actually strengthen cognitive trust by demonstrating accountability Conversely,in an affective-trust culture,admitting a mistake can be seen as a loss of face for both the individual and their group.The priority might be to solve the problem quietly without a public admission of fault,thereby protecting the harmony of the relationship and the dignity of all parties involved.A public apology,while valued in the West,can sometimes complicate matters in Asia if it draws unwanted attention to the error. Successfully navigating this complex landscape requires a move beyond ethnocentrism-the belief that one's own cultural noms are universal.Global citizens must develop intercultural competence,a skill set that includes empathy,tolerance for ambiguity,and the flexibility to adapt one's trust-building strategies.As our world becomes increasingly interconnected,the ability to build trust across cultural lines is no longer an advantage;it is a necessity. ()1.The primary purpose of the passage is to: A.Argue that cognitive trust is superior to affective trust. B.Explain the different bases for building trust across cultures. C.Criticize individualistic cultures for being too direct. D.Advocate for a single,universal model of trust. ()2.The term"Swift Trust"is used to describe: A.The trust built through long-term family ties. B.The immediate trust based on a person's social status. C.The functional tust formed quickly among strangers for a specific goal. D.The emotional trust developed during shared meals. ()3.In an affective-trust culture,a business meeting might begin with extensive socializing because: A.It's considered a waste of time. B.It's a way to avoid the real business. C.It's a crucial step in building a personal connection before business. D.It's a test to check if the other person is rich. ()4.What is the author's recommended move beyond ethnocentrism"? A.To learn the specific rules of doing business in every country. B.To develop adaptive skills like empathy and flexibility. C.To insist on one's own cultural norms. D.To avoid all cross-cultural interactions. ()5.According to the passage,handling mistakes in an affective-trust culture often involves: A.A public apology and transparent analysis. B.Solving the problem quietly to protect personal relationships. C.Blaming the mistake on another person. D.Immediately ending the business relationship. 二、完形填空 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选 项。 The concept of home"is more than just a physical structure;it's a complex tapestry woven from memories,emotions,and a sense of belonging.For migrants and refugees,the meaning of home becomes profoundly 1.They often leave their original homes not by choice,but by force of circumstance,canying with them a 2 of their culture,traditions,and identity. A study on second-generation immigrants in Westemn countries discovered a fascinating pattern.These young people often feel a 3 identity.They are deeply influenced by their parents'culture at home,yet they are fully immersed in the mainstream culture at school and in public life.They may feel"in- between,"not fully belonging to either world.One participant,whose family was from Vietnam but who grew up in Australia,described it as "living with two maps in my head."One map was drawn from the stories,smells,and values of her parents'homeland,a place she'd never even visited.The other map was the physical reality of the streets,schools,and beaches of her daily life in Sydney. This dual identity is not necessarily a 4,however.Many of these young people develop a unique and powerful skill:cultural code-switching.They learn to 5 their behavior,language,and even their worldview depending on the context.At a family dinner,they might show deep respect to elders and speak their native language.At a university lecture,they adopt a more direct and individualistic communication style.This ability to move between cultures requires a high degree of emotional intelligence and adaptability. Creating a sense of home for these young people often involves a process of 6.They don't simply choose one heritage over another.Instead,they actively combine elements from both cultures to create a new,hybrid identity.They might listen to Korean pop music while cooking a traditional Indian dish. They might celebrate both Christmas and the Lunar New Year.This creative blending allows them to build a personal space that feels authentic and 7 their complex life experiences. For society as a whole,this process is 8.These young people act as "bridges"between cultures.They can interpret the nuances of one culture for the other,fostering understanding and reducing prejudice. Their unique perspective challenges the idea of a single,monolithic national identity.In an increasingly globalized world,their ability to inhabit multiple worlds simultaneously is not a sign of confusion,but a valuable 9. Ultimately,the joumney of finding home for these individuals is not about aniving at a single,fixed point.It is about learning to feel secure and 10 within a space of one's own making,a space defined not by its location on a map,but by the connections and meanings one creates within it. 1.A.simple B.complex C.irrelevant D.boring 2.A.piece B.burden C.photograph D.memory 3.A.single B.dual C.strong D.false 4.A.weakness B.strength C.choice D.dream 5.A.ignore B.hide C.switch D.forget 6.A.separation B.confrontation C.integration D.identification 7.A.denies B.reflects C.destroys D.ignores 8.A.harmful B.beneficial C.insignificant D.confusing 9.A.skill B.problem C.burden D.tradition 10.A.lost B.confused C.at home D.lonely 三、阅读短文回答问题 根据短文内容，简要回答下列问题（每题答案不超过10个词）。 What makes a city feel like home?Is it the familiar skyline,the sounds of a local market,or the faces of friends and family?While these are all important,a growing body of research suggests that a crucial factor is the "walkability"of a neighborhood.A walkable neighborhood is not just one where you can walk;it is one where you want to walk.It is defined by a dense mix of shops,services,parks,and public transport,all connected by safe,continuous,and interesting sidewalks. The benefits of walkability extend far beyond physical health.When people walk,they interact.They stop to chat with a neighbor,greet a shopkeeper,or let a child pet their dog.These small,seemingly insignificant interactions build social capital-the network of relationships and trust that binds a community together.A study comparing two similar-sized neighborhoods in a major U.S.city found that residents of the walkable neighborhood reported knowing significantly more of their neighbors and feeling a much stronger sense of community than those in the car-dependent one. Furthermore,walkability is linked to economic vitality.A busy street with many pedestrians is an attractive place for small businesses.Cafes,bookstores,and local markets thrive on the foot traffic generated by a walkable environment.This,in tumn,creates local jobs and reduces the need for long commutes,which can be both costly and time-consuming.
