Some years ago,I was hired by an American bank.I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started,“Dear John,I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us.” That “quite” saddened me.I thought he was saying “we’re kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else.” Then I discovered that in American English “quite” sometimes means “very”,while in British English it means “fairly”.
So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don’t just mean the words people speak.It is body language,dress,manners,ideas and so on.The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures.
Some of these differences may be only on the surface—dress,food and hours of work—while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with.Mostly,it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them,like the climate,while getting on with business.
Some of the differences may be an improvement.People are more polite;the service is better;you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again.However,other differences can be troubling,like punctuality.If you invite people to a party at 7 o’clock,your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany,five minutes early in the American Midwest,an hour early in Japan,15 minutes afterwards in the UK,up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece.I prefer not to use the word “late” because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive.It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country.
1.The author was unhappy as mentioned in paragraph 1 because he thought 　　　. 
A.the American bank didn’t think much of him
B.the American bank might hire another person
C.it’s difficult to get used to American culture
D.it’s easy to misunderstand Americans
2.The word “highlights” in paragraph 2 probably means 　　　. 
A.encourages
B.helps to narrow
C.increases
D.draws attention to
3.According to the author,what should we do with most cultural differences?
A.Ask the native people for help.
B.Understand and accept them.
C.Do things in our own way.
D.Do in-depth research.
4.When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are 　　　. 
A.Italians　　　 B.Germans
C.Greeks D.the British

Song Lam,or Waiata to some of her New Zealand Maori friends,argues that Mandarin and Maori have much in common,particularly the five vowels which sound the same in both languages.And the mythological figure Maui of Maori legend has a Chinese “twin brother”,the Monkey King.Both could turn themselves into any shape or figure at any time.
Some academics claim that one of the native tribes in Taiwan,China speaks a language similar to Maori,notably in the naming of numbers.Evidence gleaned by archaeologists(考古学家) shows an ancient link between the peoples of Australasia and Taiwan,with the native language of Taiwan having similarities to the prehistoric Australasian language.
Confused by Maori place names and customs when she first moved to New Zealand,Song Lam spent eight years researching and three years writing her book,TheMaoriofNewZealand,which is believed to be the first Chinese-language publication to include Maori words,values and customs.The 120-page book,including 10 pages of photos and maps,describes Maori legends,traditions,history and folk tales.
Song Lam was inspired to write the book in 1990 when she tried to sign up for an education course in New Zealand and was asked for her comments on a local historical event,which she knew nothing about.She involved her two sons in her project and research after explaining to them the stories behind Maori place names.The younger boy,aged 10,used his skill at drawing to contribute a historic map of Maori tribes in New Zealand.
“Both Chinese and Maori like to present a gift when visiting others or receiving a warm reception,” Lam says.“My book will be a good gift when I visit a Maori community.”
5.According to Song Lam,what do Mandarin and Maori have in common?
A.Fairy tales of the same character.
B.Confusing place names and customs.
C.Similar pronunciation of vowels.
D.The magic power of the Monkey King.
6.What does the underlined word “gleaned” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.Controlled.
B.Gathered.
C.Grown.
D.Switched.
7.Why is Song Lam’s younger son mentioned in paragraph 4?
A.To tell his curiosity about Maori.
B.To prove his unique talent in painting.
C.To stress the importance of education.
D.To show his help with the publication.
8.What is the best title for the text?
A.Cultures Share Language Bond
B.The First Book about Maori
C.Adaptation to Life in New Zealand
D.Languages Bridge Misunderstanding
Ⅱ.七选五
(2022湖南长沙一模)
It can be very easy to stick with what you know,instead of trying to meet people who are different from you.　1　 Here’s what you can do: 
Become self-aware.　2　 This includes biases about your own cultural background.It can be confronting,but by doing this you’ll be able to think about how these traits might impact on your approach to and understanding of differences.You could try:Think about what assumptions you make about your friends,peers,and people you work with. 
Talk to someone from a different cultural background.Try and get to know someone from a different cultural background better.　3　 You’ll automatically find out more about their life and experiences.Just being curious and open-minded can be helpful. 
Be more accepting.Sometimes,for one reason or another,it’s not all that easy to understand some cultural differences.　4　 In other words,you don’t have to understand,or even agree with someone in order to accept them. 
　5　 One of the biggest difficulties to overcome in understanding cultural differences is making judgments based on one opinion.You should do some research to actually learn about people,instead of making broad-brush assessments.Stereotyping(模式化) people from different cultural backgrounds can impact their quality of life and opportunities. 
A.Do your own research.
B.Think beyond stereotypes.
C.Practice being sympathetic towards people.
D.Work out your own beliefs,values and personal biases.
E.Instead of asking them questions directly,treat them as friends.
F.And the best approach is to acknowledge people are different and to accept that’s okay.
G.However,trying to understand people from other countries can help you experience more.

Ⅰ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者通过自己的亲身经历体会到的各国在文化、语言方面的差异,告诉我们一个道理:了解文化差异并且适应和接受文化的差异。
1.A　细节理解题。由第一段中“That ‘quite’ saddenedme...itmeans ‘fairly’”可知,作者对于“quite”一词的理解偏差导致心情不愉快。因为作者认为这家美国银行并没有器重他。故选A项。
2.D　词义猜测题。由文章第二段中的“Sothefirstlessonabout...manners,ideasandsoon.”可知,人们做事的方式突出了我们在不同文化之间看到的许多差异。highlight本意“强调”,此处表示“注意”。故选D项。
3.B　细节理解题。由文章第三段信息句“Mostly,itisjustaquestionofgettingusedtothedifferencesandacceptingthem,liketheclimate,whilegettingonwithbusiness.”可知,适应文化差异就像在外出差适应当地的气候一样,要学会适应和接受。
4.B　细节理解题。由第四段信息句“Ifyouinvitepeopletoapartyat7o’clock,yourguestswillconsideritpolitetoturnupexactlyontimeinGermany”可知,在德国,如果你邀请别人7点参加聚会,你的客人会认为准时到场是礼貌的。所以德国人是准时的。
【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过SongLam的故事讲述中国和新西兰毛利部落在语言和文化上有很多相似之处。
5.C　细节理解题。根据第一段的“SongLam,orWaiata...whichsoundthesameinbothlanguages.”可知,SongLam认为新西兰语和普通话的共同之处是元音的发音相似。
6.B　词义猜测题。根据第二段的“EvidencegleanedbyarchaeologistsshowsanancientlinkbetweenthepeoplesofAustralasiaandTaiwan”并结合常识可知,证据是需要收集的。由此可知,画线词意为“收集”,与gathered同义。
7.D　推理判断题。根据第三段的“The120-pagebook,including10pagesofphotosandmaps,describesMaorilegends,traditions,historyandfolktales.”可知,SongLam出版了一本120页的书,包括10页的照片和地图,描述毛利人的传说、传统、历史和民间故事。再结合第四段的“Theyoungerboy,aged10,usedhisskillatdrawingtocontributeahistoricmapofMaoritribesinNewZealand.”可知,小男孩绘制了新西兰毛利部落的历史地图。由此推知,提到小男孩是为了表明他对书本出版的帮助。
8.A　主旨大意题。根据文章主要内容,尤其第一段可知,文章通过SongLam的故事讲述中国和新西兰毛利部落在语言和文化上有很多相似之处。故A项“文化共享语言纽带”可以作为本文的最佳标题。
Ⅱ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。试着去理解来自其他国家的人可以帮助你体验更多,文章对如何理解和接受不同文化背景的人提出了建议。
1.G　上文“Itcanbeveryeasytostickwithwhatyouknow,insteadoftryingtomeetpeoplewhoaredifferentfromyou.”和G项中的“tryingtounderstandpeoplefromothercountriescanhelpyouexperiencemore”构成转折关系,对应G项中的However,所以G项切合文意。
2.D　根据下文“Thisincludesbiasesaboutyourownculturalbackground.”和上文“Becomeself-aware.”可知,此处是指对自己的文化背景、偏见等有清醒的认知,并解决它们,所以D项切合文意。
3.E　根据上文“Talktosomeonefromadifferentculturalbackground.”可知,此处是讲和来自不同文化背景的人交谈,所以E项切合文意。
4.F　根据上文“Bemoreaccepting.”可知,此处是讲对于不同要有包容性,所以F项切合文意。故选F项。
5.B　根据下文“Stereotypingpeoplefromdifferentculturalbackgroundscanimpacttheirqualityoflifeandopportunities.”可知,此处是指要跳出模式化来思考,所以B项切合文意。
Ⅲ.【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了中国的礼仪文化。
1.to visit　考查非谓语动词。用动词不定式作目的状语。故填tovisit。
2.deeply　考查词性转换。修饰动词moved,用副词作状语,故填deeply。
3.that　考查强调句型。本句是“Itbe+被强调部分+that/who+其他”强调句型结构,此处被强调部分是主语thethought,指物,用that。
4.It　考查形式主语。Itis+adj.(forsb)+todosth,形式主语It替代真正主语(动词不定式短语),首字母大写。故填It。
5.occasions　考查名词复数。结合suchasfestivalsandbirthdays可知,不止一个场合,用名词occasion的复数形式。故填occasions。
6.to　考查固定搭配。beinvitedto...被邀请……。故填to。
7.choice　考查词性转换。结合不定冠词a可知,用单数名词choice作表语。
8.followed　考查非谓语动词。本句已有谓语has且无连词,此处用非谓语形式,逻辑主语Thistradition与动词follow是动宾关系,用过去分词表被动。故填followed。
9.is considered　考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。此处缺少谓语,讲述客观事实,主语Shakinghands和谓语动词consider是被动关系,用一般现在时的被动语态;Shakinghands作主语,谓语用单数形式。故填isconsidered。
10.communicating　考查非谓语动词。“当某人做某事时”用when引导时间状语从句,从句中用进行时,上下文语境是一般现在时,因此空格处是现在进行时arecommunicating,当时间状语从句的主语和主句主语一致,且从句中有be动词时,可省略从句中的主语和be动词。故填communicating。
