答案
解析
1. B 前文已经说过是庆祝中国文化,把中国文化(culture)带回家,而不是传统(tradition),文明(civilization),习惯(habit)。
2. D 在中国红色在节日的时候是幸运(luck)色,远非财富(wealth),灾难(disaster),和信仰(belief)。
3. A 过春节的时候为给新年带来好运,集中精力(focus on)做事很重要,绝不是指控(accuse),适应(adapt),和在意(mind)。
4. B 如果不把门漆(paint)成红色,而不是煮(boil),洗(wash),更不是购买(purchase)。
5. D 中国的春节没用不同(different),也是吃是一大部分,前面有no,所以不可能是相同(same),相似(similar),共同(common)。
6. C 长寿面带来(bring about)长寿,而不是发生(come about),出去(get out),take和about通常不搭配。
7. C 庆祝新年就意味着你的孩子可以享受(enjoy)到许多好吃的,厌恶(bore),毁坏(destroy),吸收(absorb),显得不合乎情理。
8. A 常识是:元宵节是春节的最后(last)一天,而不是最初(first),第二(second),下一(next)天。
9. B 根据常识,这是关于元宵节来历的故事(story),绝不是戏剧(play),小说(novel),和历史(history)。
10. A 当然是和孩子们分享(sharing)这个故事了,不会是听(listening),读(reading),编造(making),read应和to/for搭配才表示把……读给……来听。
11. D 另一项传统(tradition)是发压岁钱。这是传统,不是发明(invention),故事(story),和比赛(race)。

14. A 红包上装饰有吉祥图案和新年祝福(wishes),而非标志(signs),礼物(presents)和幸福(happiness)。
15. D 给小礼物也是庆祝(celebrate)新年的一种方式,渡过(spend),嫉妒(envy)和购买(buy)显得不伦不类。
16. A 中国新年的另一种庆祝方式是放鞭炮(firecrackers),不是歌曲(songs),舞蹈(dances)和货物(goods)。
17. B 放鞭炮开始的时候是为了吓跑(scare)鬼怪,绝非带走(take),逃离(get)和烧(burn)。
18. A 现如今,放鞭炮是为了娱乐(fun),根本不是为了放松(relax),休息(sleep)和旅行(travel)。
19. C 习俗是新年的第二天被认为(be considered n.)是狗的生日,固定(fixed),命名(named)和标注(marked),不符合习俗。
20.D 为什么不允许(allow)你的孩子扔给狗一份生日礼物呢,而不是命令(order),陪伴(accompany),和取笑(tease)。
核心考点
试题【The Chinese New Year is a great holiday to choose to celebrate Chinese culture w】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
One cause of misconceptions is ethnocentrism, the belief that one’s own culture’s way of doing things is better than the way of other cultures. It’s ethnocentrism that leads to failure in international business. To avoid ethnocentrism, it’s necessary to study the different elements(组成部分)of culture: language, values and attitudes, and customs and manners.
Language
A. knowledge of the local language can help international business people in four ways. First, people can communicate directly. Second, people are usually more open in their communication with someone who speaks their language. Third, an understanding of the language allows people to infer meanings that are not said directly. Finally, knowing the language helps people to understand the culture better.
Values are people’s basic beliefs about the difference between right and wrong, good and bad . An attitude is a way of thinking or acting. Values and attitudes influence international business. For example, many people in the United States believe that chocolate from Switzerland is better than chocolate from other countries, and they buy a lot of it.
Customs and manners
Customs are common social practices. Manners are ways of acting that the society believes are polite. For example, in the United States, it is the custom to have salad (色拉) before the main course at dinner, not after. It’s not acceptable to talk with food in mouth at table. Failure to understand the customs and manners of other countries will bring difficulty selling their products. Orange juice as a breakfast drink of an American company in France doesn’t sell well because the French don’t usually drink juice with breakfast.
小题1:A. knowledge of the local language allows international business people _________.
A. to be more open with their customers
B. to communicate without outside help
C. to express their thoughts indirectly
D. to have a better idea of their own culture
小题2:The act of many people buying chocolate of Switzerland shows the role of ________.
A.manners | B.values | C.attitudes | D.customs |
A.Misconceptions in Business | B.Basic Beliefs in Business |
C.International Business Culture | D.Successful International Business |
A.how to take a right attitude in business |
B.how to avoid misunderstandings in business |
C.how to use a local language in business |
D.how to act politely and properly in business |
Landscape(风景) is another unchanging element of art.It can be found from ancient times through the 17th-century Dutch painters to the 19th-century romanticists and impressionists.In the 1970s Alfred Leslie,one of the new American realists,continued this practice.Leslie sought out the same place where Toomas Cole,a romanticist,had produced paintings of the same scene a century and a half before.Unlike Cole who insists on a feeling of loneliness and the idea of finding peace in nature,Lealie paints what he actually sees.In his paintings,there is no particular change in emotion,and he includes ordinary things like the highway in the background.He also takes advantage of the latest developments of color photography(摄影术) to help both the eye and the memory when he improves his painting back in his workroom.
Besides,all art begs the age-old question:What is real?Each generation of artists has shown their understanding of reality in one form or another.The impressionists saw reality in brief emotional effects,the realists in everyday subjects and in forest scenes,and the Cro-Magnon cave people in their naturalistic drawings of the animals in the ancient Forests.To sum up,understanding reality is a necessary struggle for artists of all periods.
Over thousands of years the function of the arts has remained relatively constant.Past or present,Eastern or Western,the arts are a basic part of our immediate experience.Many and different are the faces of art,and together they express the basic need and hope of human beings.
小题1:The underlined word “poetry” most probably means______.
A.an object for artistic creation |
B.a collection of poems |
C.an unusual quality |
D.a natural scene |
A.they are close in style to works in ancient times |

First we had to read about ancient Egyptians(古埃及人)and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum.My 12-year-old brother thought this was so funny,but I was not interested.Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Ages who painted people wearing strange long clothing.We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly(卷曲的)hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings.I certainly couldn’t see what was so great about art.
On our last visit to the museum,something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary.In it,a woman was reading to a child.The colors were soft and gentle,and you could tell by the mother’s expression how happy she was just to be with the child.I couldn’t stop looking at this painting!I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made!It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much.

B.She liked many paintings. |
C.She hardly enjoyed herself. |

A.the importance of curiosity |

President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears.His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan.
In addition to Koreans,some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names.This practice often puzzles(使困惑) English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil’s parents.They become puzzled about the student’s correct last name.Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures.
Mexican naming customs are different as well.When a woman marries,she keeps her family name and adds her husband’s name after the word de(of).This affects(影响) how they fill in forms in the United States.When requested to fill in a middle name,they generally write the father’s family name.But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother.This often causes puzzlement.
Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations:don’t always think that a married woman uses her husband’s last name.Remember that in many Asian cultures,the order of first and last names is reversed(颠倒).Ask which name a person would prefer to use.If the name is difficult to pronounce,admit it,and ask the person to help you say it correctly.
小题1:The story of Bill Clinton is used to______.
A.improve US-Korean relations |
B.introduce the topic of the text |
C.describe his visit to Korea |
D.tell us how to address a person |
A.action plans | B.naming customs |
C.travel maps | D.thinking patterns |
A.continues to use her family name |
B.uses her husband’s given name |
C.shares her husband’s family name |
D.adds her husband’s given name to hers |
A.use her middle name |
B.use her husband’s first name |
C.ask her which name she likes |
D.change the order of her names |
Some theorists argue that the minimum(lowest) wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal(联邦) government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low—paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.
Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.
Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if “other things are equal”. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.

A.cause a shortage of apartments |
B.worry those who rent apartments as homes |
C.increase the profits of landlords |
D.encourage landlords to invest in building apartment |
A.will always benefit those who rent apartments |
B.is totally unnecessary |
C.will eventually bring negative effects |
D.is necessary at any time |
A.if the minimum wage is set too high |
B.if the minimum wage is set too low |
C.if the workers are unskilled |
D.if the maximum wage is set |
A.The results of economic decisions can not always be predicted. |
B.Minimum wage can not always protect employees. |
C.Economic theory can predict the results of economic decisions if other factors are not changing. |
D.Economic decisions should not be based on economic theory. |
