Whether you are traveling to a different country for business or study, you must always be prepared to experience
and overcome cultural differences and language barriers. Here are a couple of tips on how to help bridge the gap
between cultures.
Every country in the world, old or new, has a rich and storied history. They celebrate their own holidays, cooknational dishes, listen to their own styles of music and wear clothes appropriate for their culture. Take some time to
learn the history, art and customs of the country you’ll be visiting. Showing your knowledge of the local customs and
history will make those around you realize you truly care about their culture.
Language are hard to master. You spent years in grade school learning all the grammar and intricacies (复杂) of
English. Why not spend more time learning a whole new language — especially when so much of the world speak
English already? Even if you can only recite a couple of key phrases, it shows that you’re making the effort to bridge
the cultural gap.
Unfortunately, no matter how much you research a country or how well you know the language, there will
always be some culture shocks and confusion. Words, actions or gestures that are not offensive (冒犯的) to us can be
very offensive to someone from another culture. When this occurs, it is important to stay patient. Working through
these frustrations together will lead to a smarter and stronger bond between you and your friend from another
culture.
When I learn a new language, or study the history of a culture I’m unfamiliar with, I think of it as exploring a
new world. There are so many things that make each culture unique. You have to be open to trying and learning new
things in order to fit in well in another country. Always try to think about how they see things from their cultural
perspective.
All of this being said, there are so many similarities between people of all nations. We all laugh at the same
physical comedy, groan when we have to clean up our pets’ messes and cry when we lose a loved one. After all, we
are all humans.
4. What are you supposed to do to show your efforts to fit in?
A. Develop an optimistic attitude. B. Do research into the new culture.
C. Publicize its unique cultures. D. Clear all the barriers in the way.
5. What does the author think of culture shocks?
A. Overwhelming. B. Abstract. C. Depressing. D. Unavoidable.
6. How does the author encourage us to be in paragraph 5?
A. Open-minded. B. Suspicious. C. Ambitious. D. Insightful.
7. What is the most suitable title for the article?
A. Participating in cultural communication. B. Stepping out of your comfort zone.
C. Exposing yourself to different cultures. D. Bridging the Gap between Cultures.
(C)
We’ve all left the house and found ourselves wondering: Did I shut the door? Did I turn off the kitchen lights?
If these moments of doubt crop up a lot in your day-to-day life, a smart home system could save you a great deal ofstress and worry.
The primary advantage of a smart home is that you can flexibly control and automate your smart house
technology. Using an application on your smartphone or tablet, you can control everything like your lighting, heating
and sound system with incredible convenience. If your mobile device isn’t at hand, your smart home is equipped with
other ways to control your smart house technology — including voice control.
Smart lighting control is one of the most common applications of smart house technology. Smart lights can be
controlled individually from the comfort of your sofa or combined into groups so that you can set the mood —
whatever kind of atmosphere you want to create.
In a smart home, you can see who’s at your door before you open it — and even communicate with visitors from
your garden, the supermarket or your office. Modern smart house technology makes your door communication system
mobile and gives you that extra level of peace of mind when unexpected visitors arrive. You can also operate your
door communication system remotely and invite guests in before you get home.
Smart blind (卷帘) systems are designed to improve comfort, convenience and security. With smart house
technology, you can adjust your blinds to suit your needs by using intelligent wall switches to give you a little more
privacy. Depending on the level of the sun, the outdoor temperature and the time of day, your smart house technology
can also provide the right amount of shade in your rooms to reduce the burden on your air conditioning system and
save energy.
Intelligent home control technology is developing at a rapid pace. No matter whether you are in new or old
buildings, in houses for rent or in your own home, modern home technology is rapidly becoming the standard and
will soon naturally enrich your daily life.
8. What is the primary advantage of a smart home?
A. Flexible home control. B. Personalized designs.
C. Modern conveniences. D. Comfortable atmosphere.
9. What can we learn from paragraph 4?
A. Remote working will become a reality. B. Door communication goes mobile.
C. Security and comfort can be ensured. D. Visiting a smart home is efficient.
10. What is the author’s attitude to modern home technology?
.
A Favorable. B. Critical.
C. Doubtful. D. Concerned.
11. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To predict remarkable life prospects in the near future.
B. To advocate technological innovation and application.C. To introduce some smart house technology features.
D. To persuade us to embrace technological advances.
(D)
For years, the discussion on the development of synthetic (合成的), lab-grown organs (器官) has been a major
talking point. Many see it as a worrying subject, with ethical (道德的) understandings. Others, though, see the process
of lab-grown organs as an essential part of making sure we can give everyone the help that they need. However,
advancement in the process has been a slow-burning development.
The University of Pittsburgh, though, has been working on a process to help make sure that lab-grown livers
(肝脏) could be created. They have been using machine learning and synthetic biology in combination with one
another to try and find the ideal solution to the creation of entirely safe lab-developed livers. The aim is to help speed
up the process of creating a human liver with real blood and bile (胆汁) management systems. So far, though, the
process is still very much in the development stage. The testing in mice, though, did show that when mice with failing
or failed livers were given the lab-grown alternative, their lifespan was increased. While it cannot be said for certain
that it works without qualification, there is already a clear interest in the use of lab-grown organs.
The aim is simple - find a way to avoid having to wait on the loss of another human life to save a sick life. With
lab-grown organs, that could become a reality in the future. Testing, however, is going to be a long-term process;
even with the progress made, real-life usage is still some way off.
Are lab-grown organs a realistic proposition? It certainly appears to be the case. Indeed, the synthetic biology
and machine learning combination in Pittsburgh has produced some of the most positive, promising results seen in
some time. The hope is that they can continue to grow and get better over time, and that the progress can continue to
develop to the right standard without any complications or delays.
If lab-grown organs have become a talking point that you find worrying, then the progress being made in
Pittsburgh might assuage some fears. You should absolutely take a closer look at lab-grown organs processes being
developed, though, as the progress being made in Pittsburgh is the most promising news in some time.
12. What is discussed in the article?
A. Whether lab-grown organs can be realistic. B. How we can cure failing organs.
C. Where technology will eventually lead us to. D. Why we should develop organs.
13. What does the testing in mice indicate?
A. The process consumes time. B. Artificial organs will soon be popular.
C. The lab-grown liver can work. D. Previous doubts are just unnecessary.
14. What does the underlined word in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. Confirm. B. Strengthen. C. Ease. D. Reveal.15. What do you know about the work on lab-grown organs in Pittsburgh?
A. It proves the significance of organs. B. It has actually got nowhere so far.
C. It has met with intense oppositions. D. It is going slowly but promisingly.

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。
Body language around the world
It is said that our body language exhibits information about our thoughts and feelings. But the implied meaning of
these common signals we use every day can mean something wildly different in another culture. ___16___ From
them, you can know how to integrate and what to avoid.
Greetings
___17___ Handshakes and hugs are common practices in Western societies in places like the US and UK, but
in parts of Europe such as France and Italy, handshakes are a slightly more personal greeting. It’s common to linger
for longer, which some visitors may find uncomfortable.
Hand and arm gestures
As standard, Italians use their arms and hands to gesture constantly while talking, whereas in Japan, this is
considered bad manners. If you’re in Belgium or Northern Italy, be sure to avoid brushing your hand underneath your
chin when speaking — it is a vivid way to tell someone to go away! ___18___ Well, hopefully you haven’t visited
Greece or Sardinia yet, where it is considered to be as rude as a middle finger signal in the West.
Head and movements
In many parts of Eastern Europe, the standard nodding and shaking signifying yes and no respectively are
switched, which can, of course, get very confusing. In Japan, staring too long is considered rude, invasive or even an
act of aggression. Our special gesture, though, has to be this traditional signal from Tibet, China. If someone is
sticking their tongue out at you in the street, all may not be as it seems! ___19___ But in Western cultures, it is
considered playful, silly or even bad-mannered.
All in all, body language plays a significant role in communicating with people from other cultures. ___20___
A. It can send signals stronger than words.
B. My body utters when I try to hide something.
C. In fact, it’s a way of demonstrating respect.
D. In the UK and Australia, the sign means victory.
E. Do you think the thumbs-up sign a universal gesture for “great”?
F. Here is an introduction to the most unusual examples across the globe.G. In various parts of India, it’s common to greet one another by touching feet.

“I don’t know what to be for Halloween tonight,” said Marcus to his family sitting around the table. It was
lunchtime already, and Marcus had spent days trying to pick a costume. He didn’t want to be the same things his
friends had chosen. So he was left empty-handed with only hours to go.
“What about a robot?” asked his sister.
“That would be hard to do now,” said Marcus. “All the best costumes are already taken.”
“What about the zombie costume from last year?” asked Dad. “It might still fit you.”
“No, they aren’t cool anymore,” answered Marcus.
“I don’t know what the problem is,” said his mother. “When I was a kid, we would just make a costume out of
stuff we had around the house. You know, throw a sheet over our heads and go out as a ghost, or put on a witch’s hat
and grab the broom.”
Marcus sighed. He just could not make his mind up. He reached his hand out to take a sip of juice. By accident,
Marcus knocked his glass of grape juice all over the table.
“Oh, what a mess! I don’t know if this stain (污渍) will come out.” Mom cleared some of the glasses and plates
away to gather up the white tablecloth. It was now marked with purple spots. She threw it into the washing machine
in the laundry room (洗衣间).
“I’m sorry, Mom,” said Marcus. He knew it was a clumsy mistake.
“It’s okay, honey. Accidents happen. Finish your lunch now. It’s time to carve the pumpkin.” Marcus and his
sister took the last bites of their sandwiches. Then they began the messy job of scooping out the pumpkin seeds so
Dad could carve it into a Jack-o’-lantern. Marcus still had no ideas for a costume. Maybe he should just give up on
trick-or-treating this year.
When the laundry was finished, Mom pulled out the tablecloth and saw the purple spots were still there. “I guess
I’ll throw it away,” she said. “I wonder if I can use it for anything else.”
注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
“I have an idea!” Marcus said, taking the large tablecloth from his mother.
