UNIT 3　DIVERSE CULTURES
We are all different， which is great because we are all unique.Without diversity， life would be very boring. —Catherine Pulsifer 我们都各不相同，这很好，因为我们每个人都是独一无二的。失去了多样性，生活将极其枯燥乏味。 ——凯瑟琳·普尔西弗 Cultural differences should not separate us from each other but rather cultural diversity brings a collective strength that can benefit all of humanity. —Robert Alan 文化差异不应使我们彼此隔绝，而应使文化多样性凝聚集体力量，造福全人类。 ——罗伯特·艾伦
It is time for parents to teach young people that in diversity， there is beauty， and there is strength. —Maya Angelou 现在是时候让父母们告诉年轻人，多样性中既有美，也有力量。 ——玛雅·安吉罗 It is not our differences that divide us.It is our inability to recognise， accept， and celebrate those differences. —Audre Lorde 使我们分裂的不是我们的分歧。是我们没有能力认识、接受和赞美这些差异。 ——奥德丽·洛德

　　 Wednesday， 21 June
　　[1]Today was my first day back in San Francisco after camping in the Redwood Forest and visiting the wine country of Napa Valley.[2]I have to admit① that it definitely② feels good to be back in the city again.And what a city — a city that was able to rebuild itself after the earthquake that occurred③in 1906.[3]There are so many beautiful old buildings — many sitting on top of big hills， offering great views of the city， the ocean， and the Golden Gate Bridge.
　　My hotel is near downtown④， in the Mission⑤ District⑥， one of the oldest parts of the city.Many of the people living here are from Mexico or Central America.This district used to⑦ be a poor area of town， but is now a centre for art， music， and food.In fact⑧， an art movement called the “Mission School” started here.It’s influenced by graffiti art and comic⑨ art.I walked around looking at the street art for a few hours.It was quite modern and lively.Afterwards⑩， I ate some delicious Mexican-Chinese noodles from a food truck.A real mix of cultures here！
　　[1]动词-ing形式camping ...和visiting ...作介词after的宾语。
　　[2]it是形式主语，真正的主语是动词不定式短语to be back in the city again。
　　[3]many sitting on top of big hills为独立主格结构， offering ...是动词-ing短语作伴随状语。
　　In the afternoon， I headed to a local museum that showed the historical changes in California.I learnt that America got California from Mexico in 1848.In the same year， gold was discovered near San Francisco， which started a gold rush.[4]Over 300，000 people came from all over the world to seek their fortune， and San Francisco quickly became a big city. Many Chinese arrived during this period.To earn a living， some opened up shops and restaurants in Chinatown.Many others found jobs on farms， joined the gold rush， or went to build the railway that joined California to the eastern region of the country.[5]The museum did a really good job of showing how America was built by immigrants from different countries and cultures.When these immigrants left their countries， they carried a bit of home in their hearts， and built a new home here.
　　This evening， I went to Chinatown.[6] There were so many good cafés and restaurants to choose from.I selected a Cantonese restaurant that served its food on beautiful china plates.What great food！
　　That’s enough for today.Tomorrow evening， I’m going to a jazz bar in the Richmond District.Can’t wait ！
　　[4]to seek their fortune为动词不定式短语作目的状语。

　　6月21日，星期三
　　在红杉林露营并参观了纳帕谷酒乡后，今天是我回到旧金山的第一天。我得承认，再次回到城里的感觉实在是太棒了。多么神奇的一座城市啊——一座1906年大地震后重建的城市。这里有众多美丽的古建筑——不少坐落于大山之巅，城市、大海和金门大桥美景尽收眼底。
　　我住的旅馆靠近市中心，位于教会区，这是旧金山最古老的街区之一。这里的许多居民来自墨西哥或中美洲。这个区过去是城里的一个贫困区域，而现在是艺术、音乐和美食中心。事实上，一场名为“教会派”的艺术运动就发源于此。这一运动深受涂鸦艺术和漫画艺术的影响。一连好几个小时，我四处走着，欣赏街头艺术。这些艺术十分现代，也很生动。随后，我吃了一份快餐车售卖的美味的墨西哥式中国面。这真是文化的交融啊！
　　下午，我前往当地一家博物馆参观，博物馆展示了加利福尼亚的历史变迁。我了解到，1848年美国从墨西哥手中得到加利福尼亚。同年，旧金山附近发现黄金，引发了淘金热。世界各地30多万人蜂拥而至，在这里谋出路，旧金山迅速成为一座大都市。很多中国人也在这个时期来到此地。为了谋生，有些人在唐人街开商店、开餐馆。更多的人则在农场打工、加入淘金大军，或者参与修建加州通往美国东部的铁路。这家博物馆完美地展示了美国是如何由不同国家和文化的移民建设起来的。这些移民离开他们的祖国时，心中装着一片故土，最终在这里建立了新家园。
　　今晚，我去了唐人街。这里有很多不错的咖啡馆和餐馆可供选择。我挑了一家粤菜馆，他们端出来的菜肴是放在精美的瓷盘子上的。太好吃了！
　　今天就写到这里吧。明天晚上，我要去里士满区的一家爵士酒吧。我已经迫不及待了！

　　（2024·山东六校高一下月考）In the professional or career world， a gap year is when one stops their formal work life to pursue other interests， generally unrelated to their regular line of work.However， today gap year refers mostly to a year taken between high school and college.
　　During this gap year， American students engage in advanced academic courses， extra-academic courses and non-academic courses， such as year-long pre-college maths courses， language studies， learning a trade， art studies， volunteer work， travel， internships （实习工作）， sports and more.
　　British and European students， however， take a much more vacation-style approach to the gap year by generally working for 3－6 months and then traveling throughout the globe for the remaining time before college begins.This is intended to expand the mind， personal confidence， experiences， and interests before college.
　　Let’s look at the gap year in the following countries：
Denmark
　　Denmark has sought to limit the number of students who take a year out， penalizing students who delay their education to travel abroad or work full-time.In 2006， it was announced that fewer students than before had taken a year out.
India
　　In India， the practice of taking time out after high school education， popularly called a drop year， has been on a quick rise in recent years， primarily students deciding to enroll in coaching institutions to prepare themselves for rigorous college entrance examinations.However， utilizing that year off for travel or non-academic courses etc.is still not common.
Republic of Korea
　　In Republic of Korea， gap year is defined as time for the youth to think about directions of their lives by going through gap year programs such as voluntary activities， career exploration， education， having a relationship， internship and enterprise while he or she pauses studying.
United Kingdom
　　In the United Kingdom a year out is a common choice before university， again to travel or volunteer， gaining life experience.All universities seem to welcome gap year applicants， no different from going straight to university from previous education.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。gap year可以译为“空档年”或“间隔年”，它主要指一些国家高中生毕业后用来外出旅游、学习、打工、度假等的一年，其主要目的是丰富阅历、提升自己，以便为将来的大学生活作好准备。

B
　　（2024·郑州高一下期末）The crowd at the Troubadour club didn’t pay much attention to the piano player quietly singing onstage.The twenty-three-year-old singer’s record company had worked hard to get many important people in the music business to come to the Los Angeles club and hear its new discovery.
　　But on this August night in 1970， most of the audience was much more famous than the man onstage.They talked to one another and looked to see who else would walk in the door.They weren’t very interested in this plain Englishman who wore glasses.Although he wore a “rock-and-roll” T-shirt and jeans， he looked more like a salesman than a rock star.
　　Elton John had thought it was a mistake to come to America.He had been struggling for years in England to get people to pay attention to him.He had written songs for other performers.He had played and sung in bands behind other singers.He had been waiting a long time for his big break.And now it seemed as if no one would ever notice him.
　　Suddenly， he had had enough.All the frustration from his years of being stuck in the background boiled over.He jumped up， kicked over his piano stool， and shouted，“If you won’t listen， perhaps you’ll bloody well listen to this.”
　　He started playing again， standing at the piano.But this time he pounded away at the keys.He sang loudly and confidently.It was the way he had pictured himself performing when he was a little boy in England， listening to American rock and roll on the radio.
　　And the audience paid attention.They heard blues， rock， and country music.Each song told its own fantastic story.Everyone knew they were hearing something special.

　　Roger is a famous tennis player， in case you have been living under a rock these past fifteen years.He is considered the best tennis player in the history of the sport.And he is still strong.At the ripe old age of 37， he could have easily retired from the sport and lived a comfortable life he wanted.10.（　　） For a tennis player， there is no other person worthier of respect and admiration.
　　You might not agree with me when I say tennis is one of the hardest sports in the world.But hear me out.Physically speaking， there are plenty of sports that are equally as challenging as tennis.Many also require mental strength.11.（　　） In a singles tennis match， you are alone.For the whole match， which can last for hours， you have to decide what to do without any outside help.
　　12.（　　） Michael Jordan had teammates and coaches to support him during a game.Usain Bolt was also alone， but his matches were finished within a minute.So， to be a great singles tennis player， you must be independent， confident about yourself， and calm under pressure — qualities that are very valuable anywhere you go.
　　13.（　　） Next time if I get a chance to see Roger Federer defend his title live， I will be there cheering him on.What about you？
A.Let’s put it this way.
B.Nothing beats going to a live tennis game.
C.Have you ever dreamed of becoming a hero？
D.Sports do good to physical and mental development.
E.But he has been pushing himself past his own limits.
F.However， few require a combination of the two in a match.
G.Roger Federer was my hero， is my hero， and will be my hero.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。作者介绍了自己心目中的英雄——网球天王费德勒。
9.G　空前说你小时候有过英雄吗？下文又提到Roger，此处需要一个承上启下的过渡句，既要对应上文提到的英雄话题，又要引出下文介绍的罗杰·费德勒，故G项（费德勒以前是我的英雄，现在是我的英雄，以后也将是我的英雄）符合语境。
10.E　空前说在37岁的时候，他本可以轻松地退出这项运动，过上他想要的舒适生活，空后又说对于一个网球运动员来说，没有比他更值得尊敬和钦佩的人了，这说明他没有退役，仍然超越自己的极限，继续在赛场上征战，故E项（但他一直在超越自己的极限）符合语境。
11.F　空前说从身体上讲，有很多运动和网球一样具有挑战性，许多（运动）还需要精神力量，此处承接上文，讲的是关于比赛中需要身体力量和精神力量的情况，而且空后的举例也说明网球单打比赛既需要身体力量也需要精神力量，故F项（然而，很少要求在比赛中需要两者的结合）符合语境。
12.A　空后说乔丹在比赛中有队友和教练的支持，博尔特的比赛在一分钟内就结束了，所以，要想成为一名优秀的网球单打运动员，你必须独立，对自己有信心，在压力下保持冷静，空后拿乔丹和博尔特与费德勒作对比以突出费德勒的伟大，此处需要一句引语，引出下文的内容，故A项（这么说吧）符合语境。
13.B　空后说下次如果有机会看到费德勒现场卫冕，我会在那里为他加油，因此此处会提到去现场看费德勒的比赛，故B项（没有什么比去看一场现场网球赛更好的了）符合语境。

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。2023年，在中国内地求职的海归人数略有下降，原因是在竞争日益激烈的国内就业市场上，拥有海外教育背景的人才的优势正在减弱。

（1）句④为　简单　句中的省略。
（2）句①⑤为　感叹　句中的省略。
（3）句③为　并列　句中的省略。
（4）句②为　复合　句中的省略。
　　为了避免重复，或为了使句子更简练，在一些句子中常常省去一个或某几个成分，这种语法现象在英语中叫作省略。在英语句子中，常见的省略情况有以下几种：
一、简单句中的省略
1.省略主语：一般情况下，主语是不能省略的，但在祈使句和其他不容易引起歧义的情况下，特别是在口语中，主语常常省略，主要是祈使句中的you和疑问句中的主语。
（It） Looks like rain now.
现在（天）看起来要下雨。
（You） Be sure not to make any noise.
（你）一定不要制造出任何噪声。
2.省略宾语：当上、下或前、后两个句子的宾语一致时，通常省略宾语。

他具备急救知识，但他的朋友不具备。
She washed （the shirt）， ironed （the shirt）， and folded the shirt.
她洗了（衬衫）， 并且把它熨好、叠好。
3.省略主语和谓语（或谓语的一部分）：在某些具体的场合下，主语和谓语都很明确，此时为了简化或显得亲切等，可将主语和谓语（或谓语的一部分）同时省略，只剩下表语、宾语、状语或其他成分。
（You come） This way， please.
请这边走。（省略了主语和谓语）
（Have you） Got any ink？
你有墨水吗？（省略了主语和谓语的一部分）

⑥—Are you a teacher？

当夏天来临，白天变得越来越长，夜晚变得越来越短。
My brother likes sports and I （like） music.
我弟弟喜欢体育，我喜欢音乐。

他们尽力了，但是白费劲。
（Give me） One more chance and I’ll surely succeed.
再给我一次机会，我一定会成功。

汤姆在马路上捡到一个钱包并把它交给了警察。
三、复合句中的省略
1.状语从句中的省略
（1）状语从句的主语和主句的主语相同或从句主语是it， 且从句谓语是系动词be的某种形式时，从句的主语和系动词可以同时省略。
（2）从句与主句中的相同部分也可以省略。

When （it is） heated， ice can be turned into water.
冰被加热后，可以变成水。

（2）某些使役动词（如make， let， have等）和感官动词（如see， watch， notice， observe， hear等）后面作宾语补足语的动词不定式须省略to；但若这些动词用于被动语态时，则不能省略to。

——我认为能。/我认为不能。
②—The boys are not doing a good job at all， are they？

　　（2024·福建四校高一下联考）If you think about modern art， Picasso is probably the first name that pops into your head.Art today wouldn’t be the same without him！
　　Pablo Picasso had a very long and interesting life.He lived through two world wars， the invention of electricity， telephones， radio and TVs， movies， automobiles， and airplanes.As the world changed， he was able to change with it.He worked hard every day for more than eighty years.Some people say he created 50，000 pieces of art！ Unlike many artists， Picasso was successful and became famous quite quickly.
　　Picasso moved back to Paris in 1904.Around this time， Pablo was meeting lots of interesting people in Paris.He met a rich American woman named Gertrude Stein who was a poet.And she was one of the first people to really appreciate Picasso’s paintings， and she bought some of them.
　　In 1906， Picasso began to work on a portrait for Gertrude Stein.It was torture for Pablo because he just couldn’t get her face right.She sat for the portrait eight times！ It probably was torture for Gertrude， too！
　　Pablo gave up for the summer； in the fall， he painted her face from memory.It looked like a primitive mask.Pablo had been looking at African and primitive art in a museum， which explains why.He was never afraid to borrow ideas.
　　People didn’t think the painting looked like Gertrude at all， but she loved it.She said，“For me， it is I.”
　　After working on a portrait of Gertrude Stein， Pablo realised that he didn’t have to paint exactly what he saw.He could paint what he imagined.This led to a turning point for Pablo.It was a turning point in the history of modern art！

　　（2024·聊城高一下期末）Liverpool， my hometown， is a unique city.It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage Site.
　　I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey.Blanketed in mist， Victorian architecture rose from the banks of the river， responded to the sounds of seabirds， and appeared unbelievably charming.When I headed towards the centre， I found myself surrounded by buildings that mirror the best palaces of Europe.It is not hard to imagine why， on first seeing the city， most visitors would be overwhelmed by the beauty of the noble buildings， which are solid signs of Liverpool’s history.
　　As if to stress its cultural role， Liverpool has more museums and galleries than most cities in Britain.At Walker Art Gallery， I was told that it has the best collections of Victorian paintings in the world， and is the home of modern art in the north of England.However， culture is more than galleries.Liverpool offers many music events.As Britain’s No.1 music city， it has the biggest city music festival in Europe， and its musicians are famous all over the world.Liverpool is also well known for its football and other sports events.Every year， the Mersey River Festival attracts thousands of visitors， making the city a place of wonder.
　　As you would expect from such a city， there are restaurants serving food from around the world.When my trip was about to complete， I chose to rest my legs in Liverpool’s famous Philharmonic pub.It is a monument to perfection， and a heritage attraction itself.
　　Being a World Heritage Site， my home city is certainly a place of “outstanding universal value”.It is a treasure house with plenty of secrets for the world to explore.

　　To accomplish all that， much of the 5G network will travel over super-high-frequency airwaves.These higher frequencies bring faster speeds and more bandwidth.11.（　　） That means wireless companies will need to install thousands — perhaps millions — of small cell towers on top of lamp posts， on the side of buildings and inside homes.
　　12.（　　） In buildings and in crowded areas， 5G might provide a speed boost， but 4G will still be used to cover wider areas for the time being.
　　5G networks will also reduce the latency （延迟）， or lag time， between devices and the servers they communicate with to virtually zero.Zero latency can allow self-driving cars to process all the information they need to make life-or-death decisions in the blink of an eye.13.（　　） Those innovations will only be possible if the communication between a network and a device is seamless （无缝的）.
A.5G will open the door to the future.
B.That’s why 5G will not completely replace 4G.
C.But 5G is about much more than smartphones.
D.That’s enough to download a 3D movie in 3 seconds.
E.5G is more than faster speeds and faster connections indeed.
F.But they can’t travel through walls and they get weaker over long distances.
G.It’s believed that 5G could help power the next generation of long-distance operations.

Step 1　品教材课文
WELCOME TO CHINATOWN！
　　The Chinatown in San Francisco is the biggest in America， and also the oldest.It is a very popular tourist draw that receives more visitors each year than even the Golden Gate Bridge.The climate is mild all year round， meaning it is always a good time to visit.
　　Historically， Chinese immigrants settled in the area during the railroad construction and gold rush period.What started as a residential area for Chinese immigrants then turned into a centre for Chinese culture.The majority of residents in Chinatown are still ethnic Chinese， many of whom do not speak English fluently.This allows visitors to experience a real taste of China.
　　Most of Chinatown was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake， but the city and residents rebuilt it， taking care to include lots of Chinese architecture.Traditionally， visitors enter Chinatown through the legendary Dragon Gate， which was built using materials donated from China.Other famous sites include the Tin How Temple and Bank of Canton， to name but a few.Visitors can also spend hours just exploring the interesting sights， smells， and sounds of China.Portsmouth Square is also a key site， being the centre of Chinatown.It has a long and famous history， with the author Robert Louis Stevenson having spent much time writing there.These days， the square is a great place to see traditional Chinese culture in real life， such as games of Chinese chess， and people practising tai chi.
　　The stores in the Chinatown offer a unique range of souvenirs， goods， and clothing.All kinds of traditional Chinese herbal medicine can be found， too， and there are Chinese tea stores， where visitors can taste and buy varieties of Chinese tea.
　　But perhaps what many tourists and San Franciscans treasure most about Chinatown is its food.There is Chinese food to suit everyone’s taste， with traditional dishes from all over China.
Chinatowns are an important part of the diverse culture of the USA.They allow visitors who have never been to China to experience traditional Chinese culture first hand.

【参考译文】
唐人街欢迎您！
　　旧金山的唐人街在全美规模最大、历史最为悠久，是一个炙手可热的旅游景点，每年接待的游客甚至比金门大桥还多。这里全年气候温和，这意味着任何时候都适宜来游览。
　　历史上，在修筑铁路和淘金热时期，来自中国的移民定居于此。这里原本是中国移民的居住地，后来变成一个中国文化中心。如今唐人街的绝大多数居民依旧是华人，他们中很多人英语说得并不流利，这能让游客体验到正宗的中国味。
　　唐人街的大部分建筑毁于1906年的大地震，但是市政府和居民将它重建，并且特地融入诸多中国建筑元素。传统上，游客从具有传奇色彩的龙门走入唐人街，龙门的建筑材料是由中国捐赠的。其他的著名景点还有天后古庙、广东银行等，不胜枚举。游客亦可花上数小时，一探此地的中国味道与美景声色。作为唐人街的中心，花园角广场也是一个重要景点。广场历史悠久，声名远扬，作家罗伯特·路易斯·史蒂文森曾长居于此进行创作。如今，花园角广场已经成为游客的一个好去处，可以欣赏现实生活里的中国传统文化，如中国象棋和打太极拳。
　　唐人街的商店出售各式特色纪念品、货物和衣服。此外，各种各样的中草药也随处可见，还有中国茶叶商店，游客可以品尝和购买各种中国茶叶。
　　然而，很多游客和旧金山人最钟爱的或许是唐人街的美食。这里有着来自中国各地的传统菜肴，各种口味，应有尽有。
　　唐人街是美国多元文化的一个重要组成部分，未曾踏足中国的游客可以在唐人街近距离感受中国传统文化。

　　（2024·烟台高一下期末）A very frightening thing happened on the weekend， but luckily a hero saved all.A New Jersey police officer safely caught a one-month-old baby dropped off a second-floor balcony over the weekend， authorities said.
　　The Hudson County prosecutor’s office said Officer Eduardo Matute was among those called to the Jersey City residence Saturday morning after reports that a man was threatening the baby.
　　NorthJersey.com reports that he and several officers were positioned below the second-floor balcony as the child was dangled over the balcony fence.Officials said the man dropped the baby after a long negotiation with the officers leader， and to the relief of everyone present， Matute caught the child on the spot.
　　City spokesperson Kimberly Wallace-Scalcione said the child was taken to the hospital.Mayor Steve Fulop later posted a photo on social media of the officer holding the child， who was wrapped in a white blanket.
　　“Thankfully the baby wasn’t harmed physically，” Fulop said.
　　It wasn’t immediately clear what charges he would face.Other details weren’t available.
　　“Kudos to the JCPD and all the officers involved for their heroics and for bringing a safe conclusion to this dangerous situation，” the Hudson County Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement.

2.What did everyone present feel about the saving of the baby？（　　）

　　（2024·茂名高一下质检）One study found that 300 languages are spoken in London’s schools.London’s status as the multi-lingual （多语种） capital of the world is both an honour and a challenge.Harmony in such a multi-cultural community can only be maintained when everyone can easily communicate with each other.The English language is the glue （胶水） that holds us all together.
　　Life for anyone who comes to London， whether it is for work， study or play will be much easier if they have a basic grasp of English.Indeed， it is not just desirable but in many cases it is now mandatory.
　　A recent change in immigration law requires that most people will need to prove that their English is good enough to allow them to study or work in the UK.
　　This is the service provided by the International English Language Testing System （IELTS）， which is one of the world’s leading and most-widely accepted English language tests.
　　If you come from outside the EU， and unless you are a research scientist or successful businessman， you will need to pass a language proficiency （水平） test in order to be able to study or work here.
　　Carl Rhymer is head of IELTS at the British Council.“IELTS has grown with the growing importance of English， which is spoken by about two billion people.English is spoken more by non-native speakers than it is by native speakers，” says Carl.
　　“We recognise that it is an international language and I don’t think you can say that British English is the real English，” insists Carl.“We’ve developed a test that allows people to measure themselves against a set of standards.We’re not standard-setters ourselves.The beauty of English is that it develops not just within the country but also the influences that come from outside.”
　　Someone who is coming to the UK to study may only need to achieve a band five score， while someone coming here to work as a medical doctor must demonstrate that they have excellent English and therefore they will need to score an eight or nine.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。作为一座国际化大都市，伦敦是很多人向往的移民目的地。可是，要想移民伦敦，必须先过雅思考试这一关。
5.What does the first paragraph mainly tell us？（　　）
A.London is a multi-lingual capital.
B.London is a multi-cultural community.
C.The popularity of the English language.
D.The importance of the English language.
解析：D　推理判断题。第一段先陈述伦敦具备多语种、多文化的特色，最后一句说明在这样一个国际化大都市里英语的重要作用。最后一句不但是第一段的核心句，而且起承上启下作用，因为下文主要讲述英语和雅思考试的重要性。
6.What does the underlined word “mandatory” in Paragraph 2 mean？（　　）
A.Difficult.　　B.Acceptable.
C.Possible.　　D.Necessary.
解析：D　词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的“（掌握英语）不但是值得的”可以判断，后面应该强调掌握英语的重要性和必要性。
7.According to Carl Rhymer， 　　.（　　）
A.British English is the most popular
B.the British Council sets the standards for IELTS
C.English develops in non-English speaking countries as well
D.fewer non-native speakers speak English than native speakers
解析：C　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段可知，Carl Rhymer认为，英语不但在英国国内得到发展，而且在其他国家和地区也得到发展。
8.Which of the following needs the highest level of IELTS score？（　　）
A.A college student.
B.A medical doctor.
C.A research scientist.
D.A famous businessman.
解析：B　细节理解题。根据第五段可知，科学家和成功的商人可以无需雅思成绩进入伦敦；根据最后一段可知，去英国留学雅思5分的成绩就可以去，而医生则需要8到9分的雅思成绩。

　　As a matter of fact， almost all the students in my class are interested in British and American culture.Why？ This is based on a simple fact： a language is rooted in a culture and is closely related to a culture.Without understanding a culture behind a language， one can never expect to learn it well.That is to say， we must get a better understanding of British and American culture to learn English well.
　　I do hope you’ll accept our invitation.I’m looking forward to your reply at your earliest convenience.

　　The continuous knock on the door brought me quickly from my kitchen.I hurried to answer.
　　We had just moved into the neighbourhood and I couldn’t imagine who it would be.Opening the door， I saw an old man dressed in dirty clothing.From his hand hung a torn plastic bag.
　　“Can I help you？” I asked， hoping he had the wrong address.
　　“Would you like to buy some fresh garden vegetables？” he said.
　　“Are they from your garden？” Looking inside his bag， I saw mostly dirt， with several carrots.
　　“Yes.” His voice was soft.“And I can get some apples from a tree in my yard.Would you like some of those， too？”
　　My heart softened， and I wondered if he really needed the bit of money he was asking for his produce.
　　I asked him in，“Please step inside and I’ll get my wallet.”
　　The next day， he knocked at our door again.This time， my little four-year-old Heidi got there first，“Oh， hello.Would you like to come in for tea？”
　　Without hesitating， the old man stepped inside and held out a broken basket with several apples resting at the bottom.
　　“You might like to make a pie，” he said.
　　There was no mistaking the wistful （渴望的） look in his eyes.
　　We sat at the kitchen table and drank our tea.Great excitement at hosting a visitor was obvious in my three children’s never-ending stream of questions.“What is your name？ Where do you live？ Why are your clothes so dirty？”
　　The homeless-looking man laughed as he answered each question.His name was Mr Locket and he lived around the corner.His wife had passed away several years before， and his children lived far away.He was lonely.His need for companionship had sent him door to door under the ruse （计策） of selling fruit and vegetables.Ours was the only door opened to him that day.
　　Finally， the cookies were gone and he rose to his feet.On his way to the door， he turned and offered us a cheerful smile and a wave goodbye.He had promised to return tomorrow， and I knew what I wanted to do.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

　　The next day， the children excitedly waited for his visit.The table was set with cups and dishes.The delicious smell of apple pies filled the house.As he entered the kitchen， his eyes were filled with tears.Pulling up a chair， he immediately seemed at home， and we watched with amazement as he ate up half the pies.“Your pies taste a lot better than mine！” he commented.I smiled and offered him a few tips on making pies.
　　The next day， we found a basket sitting on the step.Inside were several rosy apples.I made another pie that night.As the days passed， Mr Locket became a daily visitor to our active home.In his quiet and gentle way， he made himself popular with each child.I loved to look around the kitchen door and watch as he sat in our big chair with my children beside him， looking up at him with full attention as he read a children’s book or told a story.

（Text 1）
W：I tried to phone you yesterday.
M：Oh， sorry.I was busy all day and then I went to London in the evening for a meal with some friends.
W：Did you take your car？
M：I left it at home.Parking is such a problem.But the underground was closed for repairs so I had to take the bus.It was quite slow.
W：Did you go to your favourite Spanish restaurant？
M：I was hoping to try some Mexican food but my friends booked a table in a Chinese place.
W：Was it expensive？
M：Quite cheap actually， and the food was very good — but it’s only a small restaurant so a lot of people had to wait for tables — and it was quite noisy.
W：You didn’t stay there and talk afterwards then！
M：We went for a walk along the river.I had a really good evening.
（Text 2）
M：Hi， Julia.Do you like the Christmas carols we’re singing in choir this month？
W：Not really， to be honest.I’m really unfamiliar with most of them.In China， the carols we really know are Jingle Bells and Santa Claus is Coming to Town.I don’t really understand the words of any other ones.
M：Do you want me to explain the words to you？ I think it’s important to understand the words you’re singing.
W：Yeah， that sounds great！ Let’s start with We Wish You a Merry Christmas.What in the world is figgy pudding， and why are people asking for it？
M：That is a weird line！ Figgy pudding is a traditional British Christmas dessert.It kind of looks like a cake.It’s not that common today， but people used to give a figgy pudding to each other at Christmas hundreds of years ago.
（Text 3）
W：Everything is ready.Please come to the dining room.
M：Wow， what a marvelous table you’ve got here！ I’ve long heard Chinese dishes are well-known all over the world for their colour， aroma and taste.
W：I hope you like my cooking.
M：I think you are not only a good teacher but also a good cook.
W：Thanks for the compliment.Let’s begin with chicken which will bring luck to the guests， according to Chinese culture.
M：It sounds interesting.In that case， I’ll eat more.
W：Please help yourself to it.
M：Thanks.I like fried kidney best among Chinese food.
W：Have a try.
M：Well， it’s really unusual！ It’s quite tender and delicious！
（Text 4）
　　W：If you’re listening to this， then you’re probably studying English.Maybe you speak a couple of other languages too.But what are the British like when it comes to learning languages？ According to a survey published by the European Commission， the British are officially the worst language learners in Europe — 62 percent of them can’t speak any other language apart from their own.While 38 percent of Britons speak at least one foreign language， only 18 percent speak two.Learning a foreign language isn’t a popular option at school in Britain； children start studying a foreign language at the age of 11 and may give up completely at 14.
　　So， why don’t young people continue with languages at school？ Research suggests that students think it is more difficult to get good grades in languages than in other subjects such as science or history.The government is now looking at different ways to improve language learning.One idea is to start much younger and introduce foreign languages from the age of five.Another plan is to give school children more choices and expand the range of languages taught to include Arabic， Mandarin and Urdu.

Sun Yang：Hello， Lucy！ We learned Western culture yesterday in class.Today 1.　we will talk about cultural influences on American food　 （我们将谈谈文化对美国食物的影响）.
Lucy：OK！ I want to have a better understanding about it.
Sun Yang：2.　When it comes to American food　 （当谈及美国饮食时）， some say no food was ever invented in America.What do you think？

Sun Yang：4.　You mean there was a mixing of cultures　 （你的意思是有一种文化的融合）？Food from overseas changed when it arrived in the States.
Lucy：Yes.I also know that nachos was invented by a Mexican cook for his American customers.Fortune cookies are not Chinese.
Sun Yang：Wow！ That’s interesting！
Lucy：And then we have gumbo， the spicy stew.It was invented in New Orleans over 200 years ago， and mixes French， African， Native American， and Spanish cooking.
Sun Yang：5.　So it is the food of many different cultures　 （所以它是许多不同文化的食物）， all in one dish？
Lucy：Exactly.American cooking often mixes things from around the world to make something completely new.

　　（2024·厦门高一下质检）When Brad Ryan was young， he used to spend a good time with his grandma Joy.Ryan says，“I remember sleepovers at her house when she would teach me to make cookies.”
　　The two became distant when Ryan’s parents divorced， but then ran into each other 10 years later.Realising how much he liked his grandmother and missed that lost time， he made a plan to spend time with her.
　　About eight years ago， Ryan was telling Joy about his 2009 hike and many adventures living in the wilderness.“Her eyes softened and then she matter-of-factly said， ‘I regret that I didn’t get to see more things in life.It would have been nice to see the mountains，’” Ryan recalls.“My heart broke for her.”
　　It wasn’t until a few years later that the two took a trip to the Great Smoke Mountains.After a stressful work schedule， Ryan needed an escape to nature.So he invited his grandma to travel with him.They arrived late at night in the rain with Joy holding the umbrella while Ryan set up the tent.At 85， she had never slept in a tent before， but she climbed 2.3 miles on a trail， receiving high-fives all the way.
　　“It was a life-changing trip that provided more purpose than anything I had ever done，” Ryan said.“Two years later I set up a GoFundMe called Grandma Joy’s Road Trip in the spirit of making up for lost time and proving that you’re never too old to pack in a lifetime of adventure and travel.”
　　In the past four years， they’ve travelled more than 25，000 miles across 38 states.So far， they’ve visited 29 of the 61 US national parks， with much of the adventure documented on Instagram.
　　“You never know what’s going to come out of her mouth， and it’s usually interesting.I wouldn’t want to travel the country with anyone else at this point.Of course we get tired and have our angry moments.There have been difficult moments that we had to work through， but finally we get to where we need to be.” Ryan says.

Different Cultures
　　（2024·日照高一下月考）The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot.8.（　　）
　　The origin of the Eastern culture is mainly from two countries：China and India.Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers — the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India.9.（　　）
　　When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture， another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain — the Mesopotamian Civilization.This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.10.（　　） Like the Chinese culture， the European culture also crossed waters.When the British settled down in America， their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean.So the American culture doesn’t distinguish from the European culture a lot.
　　11.（　　） Take the language system for example.In the East， most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system.Other causes like human race difference count as well.But what’s more， due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and the West， the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries.So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference （干扰） from the other.
　　The differences are everywhere.12.（　　） But different cultures make the world of the 21st century more colourful.The cultural gap should not be the obstacle to the civilization of human beings.It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.
A.Let us work together to keep a variety of cultures.
B.One important thing is to learn about other cultures.
C.And these two are well known as the base of the European culture.
D.At the same time， some other differences add to the cultural differences.
E.This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.
F.They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.
G.They are obvious and affect people’s ways of thinking and their views of the world.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了东西方文化的差异及其形成的原因。
8.E　空前一句提到东西方文化确实有很大的差异，下文应说明东西方文化不同的原因，故E项符合语境。
9.F　根据空前一句可知，两种文化分别由中国的黄河和印度的印度河所孕育，由此可知，这里应介绍河流对于文化的影响，故F项符合语境。
10.C　上文说这种文明后来发展成为古希腊和古罗马文明，C项（众所周知，这两种文明正是欧洲文化的基础）是对上文的总结，符合语境。
11.D　空后一句是以语言系统来举例说明文化间的差异，由此可知，本段主要是以其他方面的不同来说明文化的不同，故D项符合语境。
12.G　根据空前一句以及空后的内容讲述文化的不同对世界的影响可知，G项符合语境。

（Text 10）
M：Good afternoon， everyone！ It’s my pleasure to share with you my colourful weekend.
I used to live a life in my screen and hardly noticed what was around me.I was always checking the time and thinking of “who’s going to text me now？” My bedtime routine was usually centered on one thing — my mobile phone. I looked through news websites and checked my emails.When I woke up at midnight， I did the same thing.The problem with me was that I felt anxious every night.
So when my friends invited me to the weekend camping without cell service in the village， I thought this was exactly what I needed.Keeping away from my phone for 48 hours changed my way of life.Without my phone， I fell asleep listening to the songs of frogs and insects.In the morning， I woke up energetically.Sitting by the river， riding a bike， or singing old songs， I truly enjoyed what I was doing.I felt free without my phone at the weekend camp， which changed me completely.I listened to what my body wanted instead of what my phone was telling me to do.

　　When Tonee Carter sits in front of a piano， his fingers take on a life of their own， dancing across the keys as he smiles， closes his eyes， and sinks into a melody.
　　Carter， 66， isn’t famous， but he does perform for an international audience nearly every day at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport.Travelers lucky enough to hear him often find themselves attracted by his music.
　　That’s what happened to Carlos Whittaker， a motivational speaker who was traveling home to Tennessee.“As I was walking through the hall， I heard someone playing the piano，” Whittaker， 46， told CNN.
　　While listening to the music that seemed to effortlessly flow from Carter’s fingertips， Whittaker， the Instagram influencer also took videos of the musician and shared them with his more than 200，000 followers.
　　And Whittaker came up with an idea.“Suddenly I was like， what would happen if I asked my Instagram followers if we could give him the biggest tip he’s ever gotten，” he said.“As of this conversation， we had raised 61，000.”
　　Carter was just 6 years old when his father， also a pianist， took him to a Ray Charles concert.But Carter hasn’t had the easiest life.In fact， Carter has had serious kidney disease since 2008.
　　“I thought he was kidding， I just couldn’t believe it，” Carter told CNN.“This is the kind of the thing I do.I love giving and donating and helping people， but I never expected someone to do it for me.”
　　Whittaker has used his Instagram platform to raise funds for others in the past.Earlier this month， he and his followers raised 230，000 for Brooklyn To Alaska， a non-profit organization that sends urban teenagers on a transformative adventure to Alaska.
　　Carter plans to use the money to help people the way Whittaker has helped him.“That 61，000 is not mine.It’s money that’s going to go to others，” Carter said.“There is only one way to say thank you， because words aren’t enough.And that is to pay this forward.”

　　The key to understanding British humour is knowing not to take yourself too seriously.Our humour is to highlight our own mistakes.We make light of our failures so as to appear more approachable.There is no room for egos in British humour.Embarrassing moments are all well-established material with which to laugh at ourselves.
　　Example：“I couldn’t run a bath， let alone this race.I make snails look speedy.”
　　Brits are famous for being very， very polite， but a clear sign that a Brit likes you is if they happily “offend （冒犯）” you with the occasional tongue-in-cheek comment.They are delivered with a smiling face and no apology.It can be used to make light of differences with new friends in an attempt to spark conversation.
　　A vital aspect of mastering British humour is judging what the people you are with find funny.A tongue-in-cheek comment is not always appropriate.It’s all about making your humour suit the occasion and place.
　　Examples：“I can’t be friends with someone who doesn’t drink tea！” “I can’t be seen in public with a Manchester United supporter！”
　　Brits use humour to lighten even the most unfortunate， miserable moments.There are few subjects we don’t joke about.It’s not used to shock and offend.Instead， Brits turn to laughter as a form of medicine when life knocks them and those around them down.Misfortune and failure are common in British comedy — provided the jokes are in good taste.In most cultures， there is a time and place for humour.In Britain， this is not the case.
　　Example：“I tripped and fell over in front of everyone but at least I didn’t embarrass myself！”
　　Despite Britain’s reputation as a rather serious place， humour really is common in Britain — we are always looking to spice up our day by making the best of each funny moment.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。英国人给世人留下了严肃呆板的印象，但其实他们幽默的一面也是无处不在。
28.What’s the key of British humour？（　　）
A.Telling funny jokes.
B.Making fun of oneself.

　　A report says the shortage of skilled teachers in the United States is a bigger problem than people may think.
　　The not-for-profit， Washington-based Economic Policy Institute， or EPI， published the report last week.It was the first in a six-part series that aims to examine the causes of — and solutions for — the national teacher shortage in US public schools.Education experts have long been concerned about rising teacher shortages.The issue has grown more severe in recent years.
　　EPI’s report notes that less than 10 years ago， many teachers were looking for jobs.Then， in 2012， public schools were looking for teachers.That year， the country faced a shortage of 20，000 school teachers.By the 2017－2018 school year， the country was estimated to have a shortage of over 110，000 teachers.
　　However， EPI researchers Emma Garcia and Elaine Weiss argue that such estimates are still far too low.They say the estimates do not consider that many current teachers lack necessary training， experience and official approval to teach.
　　Garcia and Weiss found that， nationwide， one-third of teachers do not have an education background in the main subject that they teach.And， more than 20 percent have less than five years of teaching experience.About nine percent are teaching without the usual state certification.
　　The study found those numbers to be even greater in high-poverty schools — where more than half of students receive free or reduced-cost meals.In such schools， almost 40 percent of teachers do not have previous education in the main subjects they teach.And about one-quarter have little classroom experience.
　　More and more， qualified educators are either quitting or deciding not to enter the teaching field at all， the EPI report says.Many leave the field because of poor working conditions.They also object to low pay.The average yearly pay for public school teachers has fallen in recent years， even as the cost of living and other expenses continue to rise.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。一份报告显示，美国近10年来面临严重的教师短缺问题，其背后的原因是什么呢？
32.What does the report by EPI mainly focus on about a teacher shortage？（　　）
A.The future trend.
B.The present situation.
C.The reasons behind the problem.
D.The consequences of the problem.
解析：C　细节理解题。根据第二段可知，这份报告主要聚焦于教师短缺这一问题的原因以及解决办法。
33.How long has a teacher shortage existed in America？（　　）
A.At least 5 years.　　 B.At least 7 years.
C.More than 10 years.　　 D.More than 15 years.
解析：C　细节理解题。根据第三段可知，从2012年开始，美国公立学校就面临教师短缺问题。
34.How did Garcia and Weiss feel about the present situation？（　　）
A.Satisfied.　　 B.Surprised.
C.Ambiguous.　　 D.Disappointed.
解析：D　推理判断题。根据第五段可知，Garcia和Weiss发现，目前有一些美国老师缺乏教学经验，有一些没有合格的教学资格证书。
35.What would be discussed in the paragraph that follows？（　　）
A.How to do more research.
B.How to solve the problem.
C.Where the teachers have gone.
D.Why people don’t like teaching.
解析：B　推理判断题。本文主要转述了由EPI发布的一项报告的内容，而这项报告的核心是美国教师短缺的原因及应对办法。本文最后一段已经指出了原因，接下来则应该提出解决办法。

　　Too much stuff， too much to do， too much stress ...These are weighing people down and breaking their spirit.36.（　　） Here are several things to help you get started.
　　The first step is to sort out your possessions.To live a simple life， you need a simple living space.So take some time to tidy your living area.Focus on keeping things that you value deeply and throw away things that you don’t need any longer.37.（　　） Finally， you will be shocked to see how few possessions you actually use in your daily life.
　　38.（　　） As humans we tend to think what we are used to as naturally right.However， there could be problems in the million little things that bother us as we go about our day.The best skill you can develop in your life is the ability to take a step back and look at things objectively by raising doubts about what is seemingly the way it is supposed to be.
　　We should always stay mindful and live with intention.If there is something in your life that you don’t love， change it！ Cut out the things that aren’t serving you.You can write down what an ideal day would look like for you in five years’ time.Then outline what things you want more in your life and what things you want less.39.（　　）
　　Managing your time wisely counts.40.（　　） Instead， take some time to think about whether it’s something that you are excited about attending.Be intentional with how you spend your time and take control of what you do.This is how you can guarantee yourself a flexible schedule and do everything in an unhurried way.
A.Minimalists live intentionally.
B.Complete the process quickly enough.
C.Don’t reply “Yes” to everything you’re invited to.

　　Some people are good at remembering faces.While， there is evidence 56.　　　　　　 for some people， remembering a face can be difficult.Even for others， remembering a face may be impossible.Such people have a condition 57.　　　　　　 （call） “face blindness”.Its actual name is Developmental Prosopagnosia， or DP 58.　　　　　　 short.

语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了脸盲症的一些情况及相关研究。
56.that　本句含有一个同位语从句，解释了名词evidence的具体内容，设空处在从句中不充当成分，也无意义，故填连接词that。
57.called　分析句子结构可知，前面已经有了谓语动词have，此处动词只能用非谓语动词形式；根据语境可知，此处表示“被称为脸盲症的一种疾病”，设空处与其逻辑主语a condition之间存在动宾关系，应用过去分词作后置定语，故填called。
58.for　根据语境可知，此处表示“简称DP”，应用固定搭配for short，故填for。
59.their　根据语境可知，此处表示“在严重的病例中，人们甚至不能从一张集体照中认出他们自己的孩子”，故填their。
60.who　分析句子结构可知，设空处引导非限制性定语从句，指代Those，且指人，应用关系代词，故填who。
61.a　根据语境可知，此处表示“直到你再次遇到她”，应用不定冠词a。a second time 表示“再次，又一次”。
62.injury　空前是形容词性物主代词her， 应用名词，此处是说她的伤，故填injury。
63.was thought　根据空前的Once可知，此处应用一般过去时，又因设空处与主语face blindness之间为被动关系，所以用一般过去时的被动语态，故填was thought。
64.studies　分析句子结构可知，此处是主语，且谓语为have，所以study应用复数形式，故填studies。
65.deeper　根据语境和前面的much可知，此处应用deep的比较级，故填deeper。

How to build our cultural confidence
　　Building cultural confidence is of great importance for all of us.It can not only help us to achieve a sense of identity and belonging but also ensure that cultural heritage is passed down through generations.
　　What should we do to build our cultural confidence？ For one thing， we must study hard to have a better understanding of our traditional culture， especially those classic works and essays.
　　For another， it’s also essential to spread Chinese culture to the outside world.When more and more foreign countries accept and appreciate Chinese culture， their people will be benefited and we’ll get a sense of achievement.

　　I couldn’t believe the day had finally come.My friends and I had been talking about it for what seemed like months.Every year our class will take a trip to the Sahara Campgrounds.As soon as you see the entrance sign， a sudden excited feeling runs through your body， knowing that a few days of complete relaxing from the usual busy and tiring school work is about to start.
　　Then on a sunny day in July of the year 2009， our whole class got on the bus and headed to our campground.I sat comfortably in between my best friends Rona and Tamara， while Nadia and Karin sat at the very back of the bus， and behind them sat my younger cousins Sarah and Salam.It was a little crowded indeed and looked like everyone was sitting on top of each other.After what seemed like forever， we got out and were greeted by the camp consular （助理） for instructions on how to set up our tents and how to protect ourselves from wild animals such as bears.
　　Once we finished putting up our tents， some of the girls started playing hide and seek while the others sat around the camp fire sharing stories and laughing.After starting our first campfire， I could feel the heat touching my face and the campfire smoke almost perfumed （使发香） my clothes.We would cook hot dogs， hamburgers， fish， corn on a cob， and everyone had their favourite foods.The students all took turns telling a scary story.Rona and Karin were screaming so loud it could have been heard from miles away.But， Nadia， Tamara and I， just sat quietly waiting for the next story.Evening came and everyone was getting ready for bed.Just few minutes after we turned to the lanterns， we heard loud shouting and screaming coming from outside our tent.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式作答。
　　I looked out and saw a large black bear.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　At the end of the week we waved good-bye to the campgrounds.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　
参考范文：
　　I looked out and saw a large black bear.All the students were scared of being attacked， and we sat quietly in our tents， watching the bear open the garbage truck and dump it out.Then， the large bear turned to our food containers and tried to open by lifting them over his head and then throwing them on the ground.What a terrible mess it was！ Once the bear got all he needed， he left without hurting anyone， but destroying most of our food for the week.
　　At the end of the week we waved good-bye to the campgrounds.What impressed me most were the beautiful lake， great stories by the fire， the sweet smells of campfire food and the unwelcomed visitor — the large black bear.I realised that knowing how to protect ourselves in the case of a wild animal attack is very valuable knowledge.Having a slight feeling of sadness， I’d leave with a smile on my face， knowing I’d be back next year.
