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 cafés rather than at the office.
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 start 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.
4. In some countries,eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to .
A. develop closer relations B. share the same culture
C. get to know each other D. keep each other company
5. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that .
A. the English prefer to make long speeches
B. too many words are of no use
C. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature
D. even talk and silence can be culturally different
6. According to the text,how can people from different cultures understand each other better
A. By sharing different ways of life.
B. By accepting different habits.
C. By recognizing different values.
D. By speaking each other’s languages.
7. What would be the best title for the text
A. Multicultural Environment
B. Cross-Cultural Differences
C. How to Understand Each Other
D. How to Build Up a Relationship
C
Reducing, reusing, and recycling is a way of life in Sweden. Recycling is required by law and garbage is sorted at home before if goes to a recycling center. Recyclables are sorted into seven categories and recycling stations are within just 300 meters of all residential areas. " Recycling almost everything is a must in Sweden now. It actually feels very uncomfortable when you visit another country and cant find easy ways to recycle, " said Owen Gaffney, an expert at Stockholm Resilience Centre and Future Earth.
But not all of its garbage is recycled. Sweden uses alternatives that include incineratinggarbage to make electricity instead of using fossil fuels（化石燃料）to heat 1.2 million homes. About half of household garbage is sent to one of the 33 waste﹣to﹣heat plants. Sweden is importing garbage from other countries to keep these plants running. Sweden is also a world leader in turning food waste into eco﹣friendly biogas（沼气）. It has made food waste collection compulsory beginning in 2021. There is a food waste biogas plant, which allows biogas to be used to run public buses and to heat apartment buildings.
Sweden now wants to deal with those remaining items that cannot be recycled by using a circular（循环论证的）economy approach. It means that products can be reused and only recycled when absolutely necessary. The Swedish government formed an advisory group to find a way of making this part of its environmental policy.
This will not work effectively unless people are taught to change their behavior. Now the government is reforming its tax code so that people could get cheaper repairs or buy used things. The large Swedish clothing retailer（零售商）H&M operates a recycling program that gives customers discounts when they bring back old clothing.
Sweden is fighting climate change by doing all the right stuff. Waste recycling and the plans to switch to a circular economy will go a long way in reducing its carbon footprint and will help stop global warming.
8. What do we know about Sweden？
A. Sweden imports household garbage for biogas.
B. It is convenient to recycle things in Sweden.
C. Half of garbage in Sweden is used to produce heat.
D. Everything is recycled after being used in Sweden.
9. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 mean？
A. Burning.
B Treating.
C. Throwing.
D. Reusing.
10 What does the advisory group do？
A. Teach people how to save fossil fuels.
B. Conduct a survey about the local economy.
C. Offer advice on environmental policy.
D. Make sure the citizens recycle wisely.
11. How does the government encourage its citizens to reuse？
A. It provides various recycling programs.
B. It cuts down taxes on new products.
C. It gives discounts to regular buyers.
D. It offers lower prices for repairs.
D
Retail(零售的) stores are having an identity crisis. With foot traffic falling and customers going to online stores like Amazon, many stores are looking for new ways to keep the physical shopping experience valuable. “Physical stores find themselves at a crossroads,” says Doug Stephens, retail industry futurist and author of The Retail Revival.
If storefronts want to compete with their more convenient (and usually cheaper) online alternatives, they will have to offer unique experiences worth getting off the couch for. “My expectation will be to go to the store to learn about things, to be a participant in things, to co-create, to customize the things I’m buying, and to satisfy my own needs,” Stephens says. Here are two predictions of how the retailers of tomorrow will keep us shopping.
Stephens predicts that we’ll be transported by virtual reality. The stores of the future will “be much more visual,” he says. “Technologies like virtual reality, which a lot of companies right now are sort of experimenting with, can be used to create immersive(沉浸虚拟现实式的) shopping experiences.” Outdoor clothing and equipment maker The North Face recently worked with VR company Jaunt to let shoppers at its flagship stores put on VR headsets and take a virtual tour of Yosemite National Park, or virtually rock climb alongside star athletes. After they’ve climbed down the mountains, perhaps customers will be more willing to buy some climbing equipment.
Stores will also track and identify us, says Stephens. Remember that scene from Minority Report when Tom Cruise walks into a shopping mall and all the advertisements speak directly to him and know his shopping history by scanning(扫描) his eyeballs That’s not so far off. A company called Hoxton Analytics offers a system that can determine a shopper’s data. Instead of scanning your eyeballs, this technology works by scanning and identifying your shoes. The goal is to help companies better understand customers and traffic patterns. The company makes sure that the system “does not collect personal information, and it does not store individual photographs, nor can it recognize individuals.”
12. What does Stephens want to show by saying the underlined words
A. Many customers still prefer visiting physical stores.
B. Physical stores work with online stores like Amazon.
C. Physical stores are facing challenges from online stores.
D. More and more physical stores are being built at a crossroads.
13. What does Stephens expect physical stores to do
A. Sell much cheaper products. B. Provide personalized services.
C. Offer better after-sales service. D. Create nice shopping environments.
14. What can we lean from the example of The North Face
A. How physical stores support VR. B. How VR will help physical stores.
C. Why people are showing more interest in VR. D. Why immersive shopping experiences are exciting
15. What is an advantage of Hoxton Analytics’s system
A. It makes fitted shoes. B. It respects personal privacy.
C. It produces better advertisements. D. It offers customers new information.

There was a rich couple who was throwing a big New Year party at their house. So they went shopping at the market where everything was of high cost and fixed price. They wanted to maintain their level of standard so they didn’t mind paying for it. After purchasing all they needed, they called a porter to carry everything and drop it at their home. The porter who came was of an old age, and looked very unhealthy, and his clothes were torn, and he looked as if he wasn’t even able to meet his daily needs.
They asked the porter about the charges for delivering their goods to their home. The old porter quoted just $20, well below the market price. Yet, the couple argued and bargained with the porter and finally settled for $15. The porter was struggling to make even one time’s meal so he needed anything he could earn.
The couple was very happy thinking how well they bargained with the poor porter and paid him $15 in advance and left after giving the porter their address for delivery. They reached their home and one hour passed, and two hours passed, but the porter still didn’t deliver their stuff.
The wife started to get angry at her husband, “I always tell you not to trust such person, but you never listen to me. I am sure instead of delivering the goods to our home, he must have disappeared with everything. We must immediately go back to the market to inquire and then to the police station to file the complaint against him.”
They both left towards the market. On their way near the market, they saw another porter. They stopped him to inquire about the old porter and noticed that he was carrying their goods in his cart! The angry wife asked him, “Where is that old thief This is our goods and he was supposed to deliver them. It seems you poor thieves are stealing our goods and going to sell them.”

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 cafés rather than at the office.
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 start 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.
4. In some countries,eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to .
A. develop closer relations B. share the same culture
C. get to know each other D. keep each other company
5. The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that .
A. the English prefer to make long speeches
B. too many words are of no use
C. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature
D. even talk and silence can be culturally different
6. According to the text,how can people from different cultures understand each other better
A. By sharing different ways of life.
B. By accepting different habits.
C. By recognizing different values.
D. By speaking each other’s languages.
7. What would be the best title for the text

Reducing, reusing, and recycling is a way of life in Sweden. Recycling is required by law and garbage is sorted at home before if goes to a recycling center. Recyclables are sorted into seven categories and recycling stations are within just 300 meters of all residential areas. " Recycling almost everything is a must in Sweden now. It actually feels very uncomfortable when you visit another country and cant find easy ways to recycle, " said Owen Gaffney, an expert at Stockholm Resilience Centre and Future Earth.
But not all of its garbage is recycled. Sweden uses alternatives that include incineratinggarbage to make electricity instead of using fossil fuels（化石燃料）to heat 1.2 million homes. About half of household garbage is sent to one of the 33 waste﹣to﹣heat plants. Sweden is importing garbage from other countries to keep these plants running. Sweden is also a world leader in turning food waste into eco﹣friendly biogas（沼气）. It has made food waste collection compulsory beginning in 2021. There is a food waste biogas plant, which allows biogas to be used to run public buses and to heat apartment buildings.
Sweden now wants to deal with those remaining items that cannot be recycled by using a circular（循环论证的）economy approach. It means that products can be reused and only recycled when absolutely necessary. The Swedish government formed an advisory group to find a way of making this part of its environmental policy.
This will not work effectively unless people are taught to change their behavior. Now the government is reforming its tax code so that people could get cheaper repairs or buy used things. The large Swedish clothing retailer（零售商）H&M operates a recycling program that gives customers discounts when they bring back old clothing.
Sweden is fighting climate change by doing all the right stuff. Waste recycling and the plans to switch to a circular economy will go a long way in reducing its carbon footprint and will help stop global warming.
8. What do we know about Sweden？
A. Sweden imports household garbage for biogas.
B. It is convenient to recycle things in Sweden.
C. Half of garbage in Sweden is used to produce heat.
D. Everything is recycled after being used in Sweden.
9. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 mean？
A. Burning.
B. Treating.
C. Throwing.
D. Reusing.
10. What does the advisory group do？
A. Teach people how to save fossil fuels.
B. Conduct a survey about the local economy.
C. Offer advice on environmental policy.
D. Make sure the citizens recycle wisely.
11. How does the government encourage its citizens to reuse？
A. It provides various recycling programs.
B. It cuts down taxes on new products.
C. It gives discounts to regular buyers.
D. It offers lower prices for repairs.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D

Retail(零售的) stores are having an identity crisis. With foot traffic falling and customers going to online stores like Amazon, many stores are looking for new ways to keep the physical shopping experience valuable. “Physical stores find themselves at a crossroads,” says Doug Stephens, retail industry futurist and author of The Retail Revival.
If storefronts want to compete with their more convenient (and usually cheaper) online alternatives, they will have to offer unique experiences worth getting off the couch for. “My expectation will be to go to the store to learn about things, to be a participant in things, to co-create, to customize the things I’m buying, and to satisfy my own needs,” Stephens says. Here are two predictions of how the retailers of tomorrow will keep us shopping.
Stephens predicts that we’ll be transported by virtual reality. The stores of the future will “be much more visual,” he says. “Technologies like virtual reality, which a lot of companies right now are sort of experimenting with, can be used to create immersive(沉浸虚拟现实式的) shopping experiences.” Outdoor clothing and equipment maker The North Face recently worked with VR company Jaunt to let shoppers at its flagship stores put on VR headsets and take a virtual tour of Yosemite National Park, or virtually rock climb alongside star athletes. After they’ve climbed down the mountains, perhaps customers will be more willing to buy some climbing equipment.
Stores will also track and identify us, says Stephens. Remember that scene from Minority Report when Tom Cruise walks into a shopping mall and all the advertisements speak directly to him and know his shopping history by scanning(扫描) his eyeballs That’s not so far off. A company called Hoxton Analytics offers a system that can determine a shopper’s data. Instead of scanning your eyeballs, this technology works by scanning and identifying your shoes. The goal is to help companies better understand customers and traffic patterns. The company makes sure that the system “does not collect personal information, and it does not store individual photographs, nor can it recognize individuals.”
12. What does Stephens want to show by saying the underlined words
A. Many customers still prefer visiting physical stores.
B. Physical stores work with online stores like Amazon.
C. Physical stores are facing challenges from online stores.
D. More and more physical stores are being built at a crossroads.
13. What does Stephens expect physical stores to do
A. Sell much cheaper products. B. Provide personalized services.
C. Offer better after-sales service. D. Create nice shopping environments.
14. What can we lean from the example of The North Face
A. How physical stores support VR. B. How VR will help physical stores.
C. Why people are showing more interest in VR. D. Why immersive shopping experiences are exciting
15. What is an advantage of Hoxton Analytics’s system
A. It makes fitted shoes. B. It respects personal privacy.
C. It produces better advertisements. D. It offers customers new information.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。随着网店的发展，零售店面临着认同危机，而对于未来零售店的发展方向，零售业未来学家Doug Stephens做出了两种预测。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Retail(零售的) stores are having an identity crisis. With foot traffic falling and customers going to online stores like Amazon, many stores are looking for new ways to keep the physical shopping experience valuable.(零售店正面临认同危机。随着客流量的下降和顾客转向亚马逊等网店，许多商店都在寻找新的方式来保持实体购物体验的价值。)”可知，随着网店的发展，零售店客流量下降，面临着认同危机。而Doug Stephens的话“Physical stores find themselves at a crossroads(实体店发现自己正处于十字路口。)”是为了进一步说明前文的观点，即实体店面临着来自网店的挑战。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“‘My expectation will be to go to the store to learn about things, to be a participant in things, to co-create, to customize the things I’m buying, and to satisfy my own needs,’ Stephens says.(Stephens说：‘我的期望是去商店了解事物，成为事物的参与者，共同创造，定制我要买的东西，并满足我自己的需求。’)”可推知，Stephens希望实体店能够提供个性化的服务。故选B。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Stephens predicts that we’ll be transported by virtual reality. The stores of the future will ‘be much more visual,’ he says. ‘Technologies like virtual reality, which a lot of companies right now are sort of experimenting with, can be used to create immersive(沉浸虚拟现实式的) shopping experiences.’(Stephens预测，虚拟现实将会使我们身临其境。他说，未来的商店将‘更加直观’。‘像虚拟现实这样的技术，现在很多公司好像都在尝试，可以用来创造沉浸虚拟现实式的购物体验。’)”可知，本段首先讲述了虚拟现实技术可以被用来创造沉浸虚拟现实式的购物体验，接下来举了The North Face公司与VR公司合作的例子，以便具体说明VR如何能够帮助实体店。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The company makes sure that the system ‘does not collect personal information, and it does not store individual photographs, nor can it recognize individuals.’(该公司确保该系统‘不收集个人信息，不存储个人照片，也不能识别个人。’)”可推测出，该公司的系统能够尊重个人隐私。故选B。

There was a rich couple who was throwing a big New Year party at their house. So they went shopping at the market where everything was of high cost and fixed price. They wanted to maintain their level of standard so they didn’t mind paying for it. After purchasing all they needed, they called a porter to carry everything and drop it at their home. The porter who came was of an old age, and looked very unhealthy, and his clothes were torn, and he looked as if he wasn’t even able to meet his daily needs.
They asked the porter about the charges for delivering their goods to their home. The old porter quoted just $20, well below the market price. Yet, the couple argued and bargained with the porter and finally settled for $15. The porter was struggling to make even one time’s meal so he needed anything he could earn.
The couple was very happy thinking how well they bargained with the poor porter and paid him $15 in advance and left after giving the porter their address for delivery. They reached their home and one hour passed, and two hours passed, but the porter still didn’t deliver their stuff.
The wife started to get angry at her husband, “I always tell you not to trust such person, but you never listen to me. I am sure instead of delivering the goods to our home, he must have disappeared with everything. We must immediately go back to the market to inquire and then to the police station to file the complaint against him.”
They both left towards the market. On their way near the market, they saw another porter. They stopped him to inquire about the old porter and noticed that he was carrying their goods in his cart! The angry wife asked him, “Where is that old thief This is our goods and he was supposed to deliver them. It seems you poor thieves are stealing our goods and going to sell them.”
Paragraph 1:

【答案】Paragraph 1:
When the porter heard the angry wife asking, he turned back. The porter replied, “Madam, please calm down. I’m not a thief. That poor old man was sick since last month. He couldn’t earn enough to even have a single meal of the day. Therefore, he fell down and handed me $15, saying, ‘I have taken an advance for this delivery, and you deliver the goods to the couple’s home.’ Madam, he was poor and hungry, but he was an honest man. I was just on the way to completing the old man’s last delivery to your home.”
Paragraph 2:
Upon hearing this, the husband had tears in his eyes, and the wife felt so ashamed that she had no courage to look her husband in the eyes. Suddenly she rushed to the market. Half an hour later, the wife came back with some food in her hand. She passed the food on to the porter, and said sorry to the porter, saying that she shouldn’t suspect them, and took them as thieves. At last, the porter took the goods to their house, and the rich couple changed their attitude to the man like the porter.

【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。
【详解】通过阅读所给文章可知，一对富人夫妇为了准备新年聚会去市场不惜高价买了许多物品，然后雇佣了一个搬运工把这些物品运回家。搬运工是一个年老体弱生活拮据的人，他要价$20低于市场价，而富人夫妇讨价还价后只给$15。富人夫妇高兴地回家等着老人把物品送来，却迟迟不见老人的身影。妻子认为上了老人的当，一定老人把他们的物品卖掉了。回去找老人时却发现他们的物品在另外一个搬运工的车上。
续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：当搬运工听到生气的妻子问题时……，所以应该写他讲述的实情，老人病了又吃不上饭，这次摔倒了，他把$15给了这个搬运工，请求他把物品送到富人家。第二段开头是：丈夫听了，眼里含着泪水，……。下文应该写富人夫妇被老人感动，行动和态度都发生了改变。
