I.阅读理解
A
Have you ever realized that the smallest countries in the world have so much to offer? Whether it's
historic and cultural heritage or unspoiled nature, these microstates are worth a visit.
Grenada
Grenada is a small country in the world. It is located on island of Caribbean, which is also known as
The Island of Spice for several spices like cinnamon, ginger and rare nutmeg. Grenada relies on tourism. Its
pristine beaches, warm turquoise water and unspoiled nature make it a wonderful holiday destination.
Recently ecotourism has been growing as well.
San Marino
Located within Italy and surrounded by the Apennine Mountains. San Marino is visited by
approximately 2 million tourists annually. It's a beautiful country, which also claims to be the oldest
surviving state in the world! Therefore, its cultural and historic heritage is undoubtedly fascinating.
Although very small, the microstate has a lot of architectural attractions as well as the Romagna, which is
loved by Italians, who are among the main guests here.
Maldives
Maldives is located on the bank of Indian Ocean. Maldives has a range of different habitats including
deep sea, shallow coast, and reef ecosystems, fringing mangroves, wetlands and dry lands. Visitors to the
Maldives do not need to apply for a prearrival visa, regardless of their country of origin, provided they have
a valid passport, proof of onward travel, and the money to be selfsufficient while in the country.
Andorra
It's a picturesque microstate found in the Pyrenees Mountains, bordering Spain and France. Over 10
million tourists visit Andorra every year! Unlike the neighboring countries' high prices, the country has a
dutyfree policy, allowing shoppers to enjoy lower costs. Also there are winter and summer resorts, so you
can visit anytime.

都是值得一游的地方。

答案 C

B
Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong
signal(信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a
relationship.
Different cultures emphasize(强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser
degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even
with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”， usually over a glass of tea,
before they do any job. In many European countries—like the UK or France—people find it easier to build
up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had
expected my speech to be a success and started a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable
silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized
that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words,
but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe，cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and
German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We
think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more
quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite
against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment(多元文化环境)
will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.

II.七选五
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
What Is Culture?
Culture is too complex to define in simple terms．__1__ One is that culture is a total pattern of
behaviour that is consistent in its components．Another is that culture is learned behaviour．The third is
that culture is behaviour that is shared by a group of people．
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂To understand the culture of a particular country or region，one could examine its components，
among which are material culture，language，and social organisation．Material culture includes the tools
and symbols in a society，not including those physical things found in nature，unless they have
undergone some change or have been given meaning by people．__2__ The way we consume and what we
consume are heavily influenced by material culture．
__3__ Linked with all other aspects of culture，it reflects the nature and values of that culture．
Industrialised societies have a rich vocabulary for commercial and industrial activities，while less
industrialised societies may have richer vocabularies for matters important to their societies．The Inuit in
Alaska have many words to describe snow whereas English has only one general term．
Social organisation differs somewhat from society to society．The primary king of community
association is based on blood ties．__4__ It provides mutual protection，psychological support，and a
king of economic insurance or social security for its members．The term "brothers" in Zaire includes those
whom we call cousins and uncles．
Cultural analysis serves a variety of purpose．Understanding the various dimensions and their inter-
relatedness helps promote cross-cultural awareness．__5__
A．Some scholars even suggest that it is useless to try．
B．Language is the most obvious difference between cultures．
C．However，there are certain agreed-on fundamentals that can be easily identified．
D．The values represented within a culture can also change with the passing of time．
E．For example，a mouse running on a street is not part of a culture，but Mickey Mouse is．
F．In many developing countries，the extended family fulfills several social and economic roles．
G．It leads on to the promotion of goodwill，social and economic planning and harmony between
social groupings or societies．
Ⅱ. 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文，主要从几个方面介绍了什么是文化。
1．C
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂解析：根据上下句可知，文化虽复杂，不好简单定义，但在某些方面还是能达成共识的。前后
内容存在转折关系。分析选项可知，C项中的“However”表示转折，此处是说，然而，有一些容易
确定的一致要素，符合语境。
2．E
解析：根据空前Material culture includes the tools and symbols in a society，not including those
physical things found in nature…可知，物质文化不包括自然界中发现的有形的事物，除非它们经历
了某种变化或被人们赋予了意义。分析选项可知，E项中说的街上的老鼠不是文化的一部分，但米
老鼠就是。由此可推断，E项符合题意，故选E项。
3．B
解析：本空所在的第三段中出现的vocabularies，words，English等，都属于语言(language)的
范畴，可知本段主要讲述的是不同文化中所用的语言和词汇存在着差异，所以B项（语言是不同文
化之间最明显的差异）符合语境，故选B项。
4．F
解析：根据空前的“最初的社会关系是以血缘关系为基础的”可知，此处是指以血缘关系为基
础的社会组织，即家庭(family)。结合下句“它为其成员提供相互保护、心理支持和一种经济保险
或社会保障”可知，设空处应引出大家庭在社会经济中的作用。F项符合题意。
5．G
解析：根据本段的首句“文化分析有多种用途”以及空前的“了解不同的维度及其相互关系有
助于提高跨文化意识”可推断出，空格处应继续讲述文化分析的作用。所以C项（它促进亲善、社
会和经济规划以及社会群体或社会之间的和谐）符合题意，故选G项。
III.语法填空
阅读下面短文在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
California is the third __1__ (large) state in the USA and it also has the distinction of being the most
multicultural state in the country. The first settlers __2__ (arrive) in California crossed the Bering Strait in
the Arctic to America. The native people suffered greatly after the arrival of the Europeans in the 16th
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂century.In the 18th century, California __3__ (rule) by Spain. In 1821 the people of Mexico gained their
__4__ (independent) from Spain. California then became part of Mexico. But after the war between the
United States and Mexico, California was given to the USA.
In 1848, gold was discovered in California，__5__ attracted people from all over the world to arrive
there to achieve their dreams of becoming rich. In fact, some died __6__ returned home, but most remained
in California to make a life for __7__ (they) in the new towns or on farms. In 1850, California became the
31st federal state of the USA__8__ a multicultural society. Attracted by the climate and lifestyle, more and
more people from different parts of the world have immigrated to California, Asians and Africans __9__
(include). In the near future, California will become __10__ mixture of many races and cultures without
any distinct major racial or cultural groups.
本文是一篇说明文，加州是美国的第三大州，本文对加州的基本情况做了简单的介绍。
1．largest
解析：考查形容词的最高级。句意：加州是美国的第三大州。根据语境可知，此处应用形容词
的最高级形式。所以本句要填largest。
2．to_arrive
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：第一批来到加州的定居者穿过北极的白令海峡来到美国。由空
前的The first settlers可知此处应用不定式作后置定语，所以句中要填to arrive。
3．was_ruled
解析：考查时态和语态。句意：在18世纪，加州被西班牙人所统治。根据时间状语可知描述
的是发生在过去的事情，且表示被动。所以要填was ruled。
4．independence
解析：考查名词。句意：墨西哥人在1821年脱离西班牙，获得独立。由空前的gained可知应
用名词作宾语，所以要填independent的名词形式independence。
5．which
解析：考查定语从句。句意：在1848年，在加州发现了黄金，这吸引了全世界的人到这儿来
实现他们变得富有的梦想。根据语境并分析句子结构可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，且指代前
面整个主句的内容，所以要填关系代词which。
6．or
解析：考查连词。句意：一些人死了或者回家了，但大部分人都留在加州，在新的城镇或农场
为自己谋生。根据句意可知上下文是选择关系，所以要填连词or。
更多资料添加微信号：hiknow_007 淘宝搜索店铺：乐知课堂7．themselves
解析：考查代词。句意：一些人死了或者回家了，但大部分人都留在加州，在新的城镇或农场
为自己谋生。由语境可知，此处指他们自己，要用反身代词表示强调，故应填themselves。
8．as
解析：考查介词。句意：在1850年，作为一个多样化的社会，加州成为美国联邦第31个州。
根据语境，这里是说“作为一个多元化社会”，应填as，意为“作为”。所以答案为as。
9．included
解析：考查非谓语动词。句意：被气候和生活方式吸引，越来越多来自世界各地的人移民到加
州，包括亚洲人和非洲人。分析句子结构可知“Asians and Africans”与include是逻辑上的动宾关系，
所以要填included。
10．a
解析：考查冠词。句意：加州将成为一个很多种族和文化的结合体，没有任何明显的主要种族
或文化群体。短语a mixture of...“……的结合体”，其中不定冠词a表示泛指。所以要填a。
IV. 写作
