This can cause misunderstandings between people from different cultural backgrounds. In Western countries like Germany and the USA, time is very important. People are usually very punctual. If you agree to meet at 3 o'clock, you should arrive exactly at 3 o'clock, or a few minutes early. Being late is considered rude. Business meetings and social events start on time. People plan their days carefully and follow their schedules strictly. In some Latin American and African countries, time is more flexible. People are not as strict about being on time. If someone is 30 minutes late for a meeting, it is not a big problem. They think that relationships are more important than schedules. It is common for meetings to start late because people take time to talk and get to know each other first. In China, people have a mixed attitude towards time. In business situations, people are usually punctual. But in social situations, being a little late is acceptable. For example, if you are invited to a dinner party, arriving 10 to 15 minutes late is quite normal. Understanding different attitudes towards time is important for cross-cultural communication. When you work with people from different countries, you should learn about their attitudes towards time to avoid misunderstandings. 1. What is the passage mainly about? A. How to be on time in different countries. B. Different attitudes towards time in different cultures. C. The importance of time in Western countries. D. How to plan time properly. 2. In which country is being on time most important according to the passage? A. Brazil. B. Mexico. C. Germany. D. China. 3. Why are people in some Latin American countries not strict about time? A. Because they are lazy. B. Because they think relationships are more important. C. Because they don't have watches. D. Because they forget the time easily. 4. Which of the following is TRUE about China according to the passage? A. Chinese people are always late for meetings. B. Chinese people never care about time. C. In business, Chinese people are usually punctual. D. Dinner parties must start exactly on time. 5. What can we infer from the passage? A. Flexible time is better than strict time. B. All countries have the same idea about time. C. Time differences never cause problems. D. Knowing time differences helps communication. 【答案】1.B 2.C 3.B 4.C 5.D 【解析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了不同文化背景下人们对待时间的差异化态度，分别列举了西方国家、部分拉美与非洲国家、中国的时间观念特点，指出了解这些差异对跨文化交流的重要性。 1. 主旨大意题 根据全文首句 “Time is viewed differently in different cultures” 及各段分别介绍不同地区的时间态度可知，全文核心是不同文化中的时间观念差异，故选 B。A、D 偏离核心话题，C 仅覆盖部分内容，表述片面。 2. 细节理解题 根据第二段 “In Western countries like Germany and the USA, time is very important. People are usually very punctual” 可知，德国对守时的要求最高，故选 C。巴西、墨西哥属于时间观念更灵活的拉美国家，中国持混合态度，均不符合。 3. 细节理解题 根据第三段 “They think that relationships are more important than schedules” 可知，拉美国家不严格守时是因为认为人际关系比日程更重要，故选 B。其余选项均无原文依据。 4. 细节理解题 根据第四段 “In business situations, people are usually punctual” 可知，中国人在商务场合通常守时，故选 C。A “always”、B “never” 表述绝对，D 与原文社交场合晚到可接受的表述相悖。 5. 推理判断题 根据末段 “Understanding different attitudes towards time is important for cross-cultural communication” 可推知，了解时间差异有助于跨文化交流，故选 D。A 原文未比较两种时间观念的优劣，B、C 表述与原文内容完全相反。 三、首字母填空 根据短文内容及首字母提示，填写所缺单词，使短文意思完整。 Food is an important part of culture. When people move from one country to another, they b___1___ their food traditions with them. But over time, the food often changes to s___2___ local tastes. This is how "fusion food" is created.

The young man had already begun to think he’d chosen the wrong bus to take. The children were hot, tired, and bored, and behaving 2 . The youngest girl was singing the first line of a song, over and over again. Everything the aunt said began with “Don’t” and everything the children said began with “3 ”. “Don't put your feet on the seat, Cyril!” “Why not?” “Because you'll make it dirty. And don't always look at the man. That's not 4 . Oh, look at those sheep in that field!” Nearly every field the bus had travelled past had had sheep in it, so the aunt’s 5 was difficult to explain. “Why is that man taking the sheep into the other field?” asked the younger girl. “Perhaps there's more grass in that field,” 6 the aunt. “But there's lots of grass in both fields.” “Well, perhaps the grass is better in the other field.” “That doesn't make any 7 . Why is it better?” came the immediate question from Cyril. The young man was looking angry. “I imagine he doesn't like 8 ,” the aunt thought. “Come and sit over here, all of you, and I'll tell you a story,” she said. The children did not look at all 9 by the aunt's offer. They'd obviously heard her stories before, and this one was very boring indeed. “Oh, it's definitely the most 10 story I've ever heard,” said Cyril. “Yes. I didn't even care to listen to it,” the younger girl said, and began singing the first line of her song again. 1. A. back B. corner C. middle D. front 2. A. sadly B. wisely C. badly D. proudly 3. A.

Forests are disappearing, water cycles are breaking down, pollution is harming cities, but I am still a little bit hopeful about our planet's future. Nature is fighting back. Plants are moving into Europe and there are more tigers in the wild than we thought. Wolves are appearing across many areas. Even the sea is doing better. But there is more to nature than just animals and plants. In some areas, a new kind of blue forest is building in the ocean. These forests are built by a species of shellfish. But in the early 20th century, the population became smaller as a result of overfishing. The good news is that these forests are growing back. It is a cheap way to build sea defenses, and it can also help deal with climate change. And it’s not just nature that is changing. More and more people are realizing that we have only one planet. People are taking action. More and more countries are making greener laws. Most people are trying to use less fuel and buy more locally grown food. I agree that the worst could still happen. To avoid it, we have no choice but to act. 1. How does the writer explain people's worries in Paragraph 1? A. By telling stories. B. By describing facts. C. By listing problems. D. By comparing ideas. 2. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. The blue forest. B. The sea defense. C. Climate change. D. Locally grown food. 3. What can we learn from the passage? A. There are fewer tigers in the wild than expected. B. Blue forests are built by a kind of sea plant. C. Overfishing led to the fall of the shellfish population. D. No countries have made greener laws so far. 4. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Why we can feel hopeful about the planet. B. How nature fights against pollution. C. What problems the planet is facing. D. How people protect the environment. 【答案】1.C 2.A 3.C 4.A 【解析】本文是一篇议论文，作者先列举地球面临的诸多环境问题，继而从自然的自我修复、海洋蓝色森林的恢复、人类环保行动等角度展开论述，表达了对地球未来仍抱有希望的观点，呼吁人们采取行动。 1. 写作手法题 根据第一段列举的森林消失、水循环破坏、污染危害城市等问题可知，作者通过罗列问题来解释人们的担忧，故选 C。 2. 代词指代题 根据第四段前文 “these forests are growing back” 可知，It 指代前文提到的蓝色森林，它是建设海防的低成本方式，故选 A。 3. 细节理解题 根据第三段 “the population became smaller as a result of overfishing” 可知，过度捕捞导致贝类种群数量下降，故选 C。A 与原文表述相反，B 中蓝色森林由贝类而非植物构建，D 与 “越来越多国家制定环保法律” 不符。 4. 主旨大意题 全文围绕 “对地球未来抱有希望” 展开，从自然和人类两方面阐述原因，核心是解释我们为何可以保持乐观，故选 A。B、C、D 均只覆盖局部内容，并非全文主旨。 $ Unit 1 A world of cultures 课时3 Reading 2 分层作业 参考答案 核心知识速记 词汇：culture；familiar；express；work of art；meaningful；background；accept；exchange 句型： 1.

This can cause misunderstandings between people from different cultural backgrounds. In Western countries like Germany and the USA, time is very important. People are usually very punctual. If you agree to meet at 3 o'clock, you should arrive exactly at 3 o'clock, or a few minutes early. Being late is considered rude. Business meetings and social events start on time. People plan their days carefully and follow their schedules strictly. In some Latin American and African countries, time is more flexible. People are not as strict about being on time. If someone is 30 minutes late for a meeting, it is not a big problem. They think that relationships are more important than schedules. It is common for meetings to start late because people take time to talk and get to know each other first. In China, people have a mixed attitude towards time.

For example, if you are invited to a dinner party, arriving 10 to 15 minutes late is quite normal. Understanding different attitudes towards time is important for cross-cultural communication.

Forests are disappearing, water cycles are breaking down, pollution is harming cities, but I am still a little bit hopeful about our planet's future. Nature is fighting back. Plants are moving into Europe and there are more tigers in the wild than we thought. Wolves are appearing across many areas. Even the sea is doing better.
