Part 3 Reading and Writing ( 第三部分 读与写 )
VI. Reading Comprehension ( 阅读理解 ) （共 50 分）
A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案） ( 12 分)
As an English language teacher, I have come into contact with many many different
nationalities. The people I teach English to come from very different backgrounds. I have also
been fortunate enough to travel to different countries with my work: The USA ,China , France,
Austria, Germany and Italy to name just a few. You might think, then, that I would be well
prepared for the challenge of meeting different cultures. I think I am quite well prepared ,but I
have had some interesting and surprising experience. Here are some of the experience which have
made an impression on me.
Arab culture
when some Saudi Arabian students invited me to their house for a meal, we sat on the floor to
eat. When I complimented (赞美）to an Omani students on his smart coat，he offered it to me！教育资源分享店铺 网址：https://shop175591889.taobao.com 微信号：kingcsa333
it教育资源分享店铺 网址：https://shop175591889.taobao.com 微信号：kingcsa333
seems that is the expected response in some parts of the Arab world. When I asked a Saudi student
when his birthday was, he said he did not know . I kept asking him the same question, thinking he
did not understand ,but the problem was that they don’t celebrate birthdays in some parts of the
Arab world.
Japanese culture
when I was invited for a meal by some Japanese students, I was surprised that I had to take
my shoes off before going into the house. I was even more surprised when I had to sing karaoke! I
have noticed that when I asked Japanese students questions, they often don’t say anything until
they have the answer. The silence is longer than we expect in English culture, where you normally
make some kind of noise to show you have understood questions and you are thinking about it.
Chinese culture
We had a group of Chinese teachers here. They made their tea in their cups. Boiling water is
added to the same leaves when they wanted another cup of tea .I found this interesting because we
make our tea in a teapot, using boiling water. But new leaves or teabags are used every time we
want another pot of tea. We drink it black or milk and sugar can be added to the tea.
I don’t think the culture differences I have experienced have brought me any real problems.
They just make life interesting.
69.The writer is a teacher and his / her students .
A)speak the same language B) travel a lot
C) have similar backgrounds D) come from different countries
70.In some parts of the Arab world, people don’t .
A)sit on the floor to eat B) wear smart coats
C) understand English D) celebrate their birthdays
71.Japanese students will keep silent when they are asked a question because .
A）they think it’s polite to do so B) they won’t talk until they have the answer
C) they don’t like answering questions D) they don’t know the English culture
72.There are difference(s) in the way of making tea between the Chinese and the
Englishmen. A) 1 B) 2 C）3 D） 4
73.The world “They” in the last paragraph here refers to .
A)the problems B) Chinese teachers
C) cultural differences D) the writers classes
74.From the passage we can tell that .
A)the writer likes to have dinner with students in their homes and learn from them
B)the writer has a very optimistic attitude toward the culture differences
C)meeting different culture is far more difficult than the writer expected
D)the writer preferred his/her own culture to the other cultures he/she experienced

a bookstore in her hometown and began looking at the books on the shelves. The man behind
the counter, John Smith, asked if she’d like a job. She needed to start 75 for college, so

union, was a hotel cleaner and even made maps for the Forest Service. But 76 books was one of

his hand in his pocket all the time. Gloria persuaded (说服) her boss to agree to let her do the story.
After the story was broadcast, some doctors called, offering to perform the operation 79 .
Gloria visited the boy in the hospital after the operation. The first thing he did was to raise his
repaired hand and say, “Thank you.” What a sweet sense of satisfaction Gloria felt!
At Smith’s bookstore, Gloria always realized she was working for the customers, not the
store. Today it’s the same. The TV station pays her, but she feels that she should work for the
people who watch the programmes, helping them understand the 80 better.

What is Technology? Technology is the application(应用) of knowledge to production. With
the development of science and technology, we can enjoy the convenience of life. We have been
able to increase greatly the efficiency of our work because of m 81 technology. For most of
us in America, technology is thought of as the reason why we can have cars and television sets.
However, technology has also increased the amount of food a 82 to us by means of good
farming machinery and animal breeding techniques, and has extended our life span(寿命). So it
raises a question. Will human beings continue to live longer and have a higher quality of life? The
answer depends on technology and our ability to use it w 83 . If we keep making progress as
we have over the past fifty years, the answer is definitely yes. The improvement in technology
depends upon research and d 84 , and the latest statistics (统计) show that the United States is
continuing to spend billions of dollars every year on such e 85 . So while we are running out
of some scarce resources, we may find technological substitutes(代用品) for many of them
through our research programmes.
Actually, when we need new skills on techniques in medicine, people will start developing
new technology to meet those needs. People will work together to design new products to s 86
some difficult problems. When equipment proves to be slow or inefficient, new machines will be
i 87 in response to it.教育资源分享店铺 网址：https://shop175591889.taobao.com 微信号：kingcsa333
D.Answer the questions（根据以下内容回答问题）（12 分）
Over the past few weeks, Shanghai has been battling with a COVID-19 outbreak. My
community, located in northern Pudong, has been among the worst affected. In order to stop the
spread of the virus, it has carried out rounds of all-inclusive nucleic acid (核酸) testing. As a result,
volunteers have been in high demand. I have called this community home for nearly twelve years.
With a deep love for it, I decided to help out.
My shift began at 6 a.m. on March 16. I was assigned to serve at one of the neighborhoods in
the area. There were altogether about 2,500 residents. Neighborhood committee (居委会) workers
guided then down group by group to the testing site. Some of the residents had never used the
Healthcare Cloud system before. The elderly, in particular, needed help with the registration
process. We volunteers showed them how to use the system or registered them for their test using
our own smartphones.
Everything went smoothly until about 8:30. A few residents told me that the Healthcare
Cloud system was not working. I tried to log onto the system myself and found the service was
indeed unstable. The line became longer and longer as more and more people ran into the same
problem. It was a hot day. Some people quickly lost their patience and tried to cut in line. Some
took off their masks in order to chat with one another. I told them to put their masks back on and
to maintain a safe distance apart from one another while continuing to help the residents register
for their test.
Some elderly residents with mobility (活动能力) issues were unable to come themselves to the
testing site. For these residents, the medical workers provided home service. It was difficult for
them to climb the stairs as they were wearing thick protective clothing.
We worked until 3 p.m. When the medical workers took off their protective clothing, I
noticed that their fingers were soaked in sweat (汗水) and had become wrinkled. It broke my heart
to know that because of the high demand for nucleic acid testing
throughout the city. On some days, they were only able to get two to three hours of sleep.
It was a tiring day, but I felt happy that I was able to help out. I sincerely hope that these hard
times will soon be behind us.
