Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys
The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences.To the Egyptians, green is a color that represents the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven.Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures.In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year.For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs.Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils.
People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions toward them.Each color has its own function (功能).Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites (食欲).Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant.Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eye.
Blue is a calming color.Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite.So if you want to eat less, some people suggest that eating from blue plates can help.Green is said to be the most restful color.It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically.People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches.
The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.

Several years ago, Jeremy Clarkson, presenter of the famous BBC television programme Top Gear， discovered that one of his guests was half German and half Irish.Immediately, he said，“That’s quite a strange combination.It’s like, this must be done absolutely perfectly...tomorrow”.
This is a joke about the stereotype (刻板印象) that Germans are efficient and Irish are lazy.Many people could understandably be offended by these kinds of assertions (斷言).We do not know every Irish person, so how can we then conclude that every Irish person is lazy
I recently read on a website that Irish business people were described as being “generally rather casual” and “more outwardly friendly than many European countries”.German business people, on the other hand, are considered to be very direct and according to the website, they do not need a personal relationship in order to do business.Once you hear advice like this, it becomes easier to understand where jokes like the one in the first paragraph come from.
So why do some people disagree with the kind of stereotypes as seen in Clarkson’s joke, but agree when it comes to generalizations (概括) What is the difference between the two
By definition, a stereotype is a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing.A cultural characteristic, on the other hand, is a pattern of behaviour that is typical of a certain group.
So what does this really mean Stereotypes are simply overstated assumptions about groups of people.Imagine if a tourist visited a small town in Switzerland and saw a number of locals playing the alphorn instrument, and then claimed that Swiss people can play the alphorn.This would be a stereotype! This is an overstated image of the Swiss which is based on one tourist’s experience.
If, however, this tourist were to say that the Swiss are very punctual, this could be seen as a cultural characteristic.This is because it is a pattern of behaviour which is very typical in Switzerland: from their transport system to their business meetings.
In this way, some people argue that generalizing another culture is not just useful, but important.Politicians always have to be mindful of the cultural characteristics of different countries.By becoming aware of different cultural characteristics, they can avoid causing offence in those cultures.
However, others argue that generalizing cultures will always lead to offensive stereotypes.They argue that the best thing we can do is to stop generalizing cultures and start treating people as individuals.
All this raises important questions: Can making generalizations about groups of people be a positive thing Or should we always avoid making broad assumptions about different groups
【語篇解讀】　本文是議論文。文章主要以“是否要對民族特性或群體特性作概括”為話題進行了討論。
5.When he said “It’s like, this must be done absolutely perfectly...tomorrow”， Jeremy Clarkson really meant ________.
A.the stereotypes of the Germans and the Irish are not so good
B.the combination of half German and half Irish is interesting
C.the characteristics of the Germans and the Irish are opposite
D.the Germans will do it perfectly tomorrow while the Irish won’t.
√
解析　句意理解題。根據第二段內容“This is a joke about the stereotype that Germans are efficient and Irish are lazy.”可知，大家對于德國人的印象是“高效率”，對于愛爾蘭人的印象是“懶惰”。基于對這兩國家人的刻板印象，他用“absolutely perfectly”對應德國人的“高效率”，用“tomorrow”對應愛爾蘭人的“懶惰”，這是一個矛盾的奇怪的結合。因此可知，他真正想表達的是“德國人和愛爾蘭人的特點正好相反”。
6.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A.It’s typical of the Swiss to be punctual.
B.The Irish people are considered as lazy, direct and casual.
C.The Germans are thought to be efficient, friendly and direct.
D.The Swiss people can play the alphorn.
解析　正誤判斷題。根據文章第七段內容“If, however, this tourist were to say that the Swiss are very punctual...from their transport system to their business meetings.”可知，守時是瑞士人典型的文化特征。
√
7.Politicians think it important to generalize another culture because ________.
A.they don’t want to offend other people
B.generalizing will lead to offensive stereotypes
C.cultural characteristics are better than stereotypes
D.they should treat people as individuals
解析　細節理解題。根據文章第八段內容“By becoming aware of different cultural characteristics, they can avoid causing offence in those cultures.”可知，通過了解不同國家的文化特點，政治家們可以避免冒犯別人。
√
8.What’s the main purpose of this passage
A.To show the importance of making generalizations.
B.To show it is wrong to play jokes on stereotypes of different people.
C.To tell us the differences between stereotypes and cultural characteristics.
D.To discuss whether it is good to make generalizations about groups of people.
解析　寫作意圖題。通過閱讀文章內容可知，文章首段用一個笑話拋出了關鍵詞“the stereotype (刻板印象) ”，并在后文用舉例的方式講述了其普遍存在性，其帶來的溝通交往方面的意義，尤其通過文章末尾段內容進行了主旨總結，即文章主要討論了是否需要民族性或群體性文化概括，這是積極的還是令人不愉快的。因此可推知，這篇文章的主要目的是討論對群體進行概括是否有益。

Ⅱ.七選五
In the Arab world, a souk is a market usually held in an open－air location.Souks are an important part of life in the Middle East.__1__ Another attraction of souks is that they offer visitors a great opportunity to feel the local culture.
Most major souks probably started as informal meetings of merchants (商人) in open spaces, which slowly developed into more formal markets.__2__ For example, some souks have partial ceilings (天花板) to protect against bad weather, along with narrow streets which do not permit cars.
Everything from glassware to meat can be found at a souk，with merchants coming from nearby areas to sell their products.__3__ So visitors can easily find beautiful artworks in all shapes and sizes at a souk, often at very reasonable prices.
__4__ By tradition, shoppers at a souk must negotiate (協商) with shopkeepers to reach a price.For large items, customers will have to sit down with the shopkeeper.They will be offered tea and snacks while the price, including storage and delivery costs sometimes, is discussed.
If you happen to be traveling in the Middle East, just pay a visit to a souk.Some regions have famous markets with a long and interesting history, and a souk is a great place to get souvenirs.You can find a local guide for your visit to ensure that you know local cultural rules well.__5__
A.Europeans prefer to pay the list price.
B.Many countries in the Middle East have long artistic traditions.

UNIT 4　HISTORY AND TRADITIONS
Ⅰ.閱讀理解
A
America is a mobile society.Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change.Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while—then no more.If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship.This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flow more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.
Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life.They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.
Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time.This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time.Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend.We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends.The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly cannot manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine.They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus.And they expect that we will phone them from there.Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.We will find ourselves treated hospitably.
For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for pure business matters.So accept their hospitality at home!

B
The meaning of silence can be different among cultural groups.Silences may be thoughtful, or they may be empty when a person has nothing to say.A silence in a conversation may also show uneasiness or worry.Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable；therefore, attempts may be made to fill every gap (間隙) with conversation.Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a person’s needs.
Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do.Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied (暗示) is that the person wants the listener to consider what has been said before continuing.In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.
Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts (沖突) among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power.For example, Russian, French, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority (權威) rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her.In still another use, persons in Asian cultures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.
Nurses and other care－givers need to understand the possible meanings of silence when they come across the personal anxiety their patients may be experiencing.Nurses should recognize their own personal and cultural construction of silence so that a patient’s silence is not interrupted too early or allowed to go on unnecessarily.A nurse who understands the healing (治愈) value of silence can use this understanding to assist in the care of patients from their own and from other cultures.
【語篇解讀】　本文是說明文。文章主要介紹了沉默在不同的文化中所代表的含義。

【大題提能】
Ⅰ.閱讀理解
Compared with some other parts of the world，Canada is not a country with a lot of particularly flashy traditions—which isn’t to say none exist.In general，it’s the aging process，and the various “key dates” that occur as a Canadian moves from babyhood to adulthood that tend to be the most celebrated and ritualized(儀式化了的) moments in mainstream Canadian culture.
Canadian couples will generally announce their pregnancy with great pride to friends and family as soon as they’re aware，and it’s common for girlfriends of the expecting mother to organize a baby shower—a small，light－hearted house party—to honour the new mom sometime before she gives birth.Shortly after the child is born，it’s similarly customary for friends of the parents to visit and give at least one baby gift，usually a toy or clothes，to express congratulations.
If there’s one thing Canadians love celebrating，it’s the anniversary(周年紀念日) of their own birth.In recent years，birthdays have risen to become one of the most tradition－rich spectacles of Canadian culture.During childhood，most parents will arrange birthday parties for their children on the special day (or the closest available weekend)，a fun excuse for the birthday boy or girl to gather up all their schoolyard friends and spend the afternoon hanging out.In their teenage years and adulthood，they begin to take greater control over their own birthday plans.
Completing a period of school in Canada is almost always celebrated with a fancy graduation ceremony.In their final year of high school (and sometimes middle school as well)，students will celebrate the completion of their studies with some sort of party organized by the school，usually known as “grad night”.These usually take the form of a fancy dress party held at a local hotel，complete with a dinner，dancing and lots of awkwardly－posed photographs.

Ⅱ.七選五
I came to Russia to study in the winter last year.My university is located in Moscow, the capital of Russia, which is a city with a long history.
The second I stepped out of the airport, I immediately felt how freezing cold it was outside compared to China.__1__ When I saw the main building of Moscow State University, I was deeply shocked by its beautiful architecture with its about 270－year－long history.Sensing how utterly small I was in front of this majestic building, I felt the crystallization (結晶) of human wisdom resonate within me.
__2__ What it means is that the snow and ice won’t melt until April of the following year.Just like the melting snow, I gradually overcame the difficulties of studying abroad and came to adjust to my new environment.
The first challenge was the language barrier.After learning Russian in China, I realized that my skills were nowhere near enough.I was not fluent in Russian, sometimes causing misunderstandings.__3__ For example, in Russia, everyone intentionally stands on the right side when taking the escalator, which takes time for me to get used to.
However, the artistic atmosphere in Russia is very strong.__4__ Tickets for those places, concerts and cultural events here are relatively cheap, making it easy to enrich my life on weekends.
In a nutshell, living abroad means overcoming all kinds of difficulties.The experience will always leave a colorful shade in my life.Just as the old Chinese saying goes, “It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books.”__5__
A.Obviously, the freezing climate does not agree with me.
B.Starting from early November each year, the snow season in Moscow is very long.
C.Take a look at the outside world while you are young!
D.I can visit many of the attractions that I used to see in my textbooks and performances I used to watch only on TV.
E.Thanks to the abundant activities I get to explore what I’ve learned in practical contexts and improve my language proficiency.
F.And the buildings surrounding me looked so different from the ones in China too.
G.The cultural differences were also hard to deal with at first.
【語篇解讀】　本文是記敘文。作者在俄羅斯留學，感受到異國他鄉的文化與習俗。
1.F　[根據上文“The second I stepped out of the airport...compared to China.”可知，此處是描寫作者走出機場感受到的俄羅斯和中國的差異，F項符合語境，下文“When I saw the main building of Moscow State University...with its about 270－year－long history.”也提及了俄羅斯的建筑。]
2.B　[下文“What it means is that the snow and ice won’t melt until April of the following year.”中的it指代空處內容，所以空處和俄羅斯的雪有關，B項“從每年11月初開始，莫斯科的雪季很長”符合語境。]
3.G　[下文“For example, in Russia, everyone intentionally stands on the right side...for me to get used to.”提到作者需要時間來適應俄羅斯和中國的差異，G項符合語境。]
