说明文 生态对文化差异的影响 ★★★ 7 min P50
　　In some parts of the world people are likely to plan for the future， while in others people are more likely to live in the moment. In some societies people prefer more personal space； in others they are comfortable being in close quarters in public.
There are a number of theories about where cultural differences between societies come from. In a growing number of cases， researchers have found that human culture can be shaped by key features of the environments in which people live.
Ecology includes basic physical and social characteristics of the environment—such factors as how rich a place is in resources， how common infectious (传染性的) diseases are， how
heavily populated a place is， and how much threat there is to human safety. Variables (可变因素) like temperature and the availability of water can be key ecological features.
For over 200 societies， our lab at Arizona State University gathered comprehensive data on nine key features of ecology—such as rainfall， temperature， infectious disease and natural resources—and dozens of aspects of human cultural variation—including values， strength of social norms (规范)， personality， motivation and institutional characteristics. With this information， we created the Ecology-Cultural Dataset. Using this dataset， we were able to generate a range of estimates for just how much of human cultural variation can be explained by ecology.
We ran a series of statistical models looking at the relationship between our ecological variables and each of the 66 cultural outcomes we tracked. For each of the cultural outcomes， we calculated the average amount of the cultural diversity across societies that was explained by this combination of nine different ecological factors. We found that nearly 20% of cultural variation was explained by the combination of these ecological features.
Importantly， our statistical estimates take into account common issues in cross-cultural research. There will likely be unmeasured similarities between societies with shared historical roots and traditions.
Ecology isn’t the only reason people around the world think and behave differently. But our work suggests that， at least in part， our environments shape our cultures.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项研究，这项研究发现，世界不同地区的文化差异一定程度上受到了生态因素的影响。
(　　)1.What is mainly talked about in the first paragraph
A.Different plans for the near future.
B.The impact of cultural diversity on society.
C.The difficulty of handling cultural differences.
D.Sharp distinctions in diverse cultures and regions.
【解析】 段落大意题。通读第一段的内容可知，第一段告诉我们不同文化和地区有明显的区别：在某些地方，人们会为未来做计划，而在另一些地方，人们活在当下。由此可知，第一段主要讨论了不同文化和地区的明显区别。
D
(　　)2.What do we know about the Ecology-Cultural Dataset
A.It’s a combination of human and nature.
B.It’s a combination of ecology and culture.
C.It’s a comparison between theory and practice.
D.It’s a comparison between ecology and culture.
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“For over 200 societies， our lab at Arizona State University gathered comprehensive data on nine key features of ecology…and dozens of aspects of human cultural variation…With this information， we created the Ecology-Cultural Dataset.”可知，生态文化数据集包括了关于生态学的九个关键特征和人类文化变异的数十个方面。由此可知，生态文化数据集是生态和文化的结合。
B
(　　)3.What did the author’s lab want to find out
A.Where cultural differences come from.
B.Whether ecological features affect culture.
C.How strong the ecology-culture connection is.
D.Why cultural differences between societies exist.
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Using this dataset， we were able to generate a range of estimates for just how much of human cultural variation can be explained by ecology.”可知，作者的实验室使用这个数据集是为了了解生态学和人类文化变异之间有多深的关系。由此推知，作者的实验室想找出生态文化之间的联系有多强。
C
(　　)4.What is the conclusion of the author’s study
A.Shared traditions lead to cultural similarities.
B.There are cultural differences between societies.
C.Environments are shaped by the cultures people live in.
D.Cultural differences partly come from ecological factors.
【解析】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的内容可知，作者的研究表明生态不是影响文化的全部因素，但至少在一定程度上影响文化。由此推知，作者的研究结论是文化差异部分来自生态因素。

记叙文 国外求学 ★★★ 8 min P50
　　Once on a dark winter’s day， when the yellow fog hung so thick and heavy in the streets of London that the lamps were lighted and the shop windows blazed with gas as they do at night， a little girl sat in a cab with her father and was driven rather slowly through the big thoroughfares.
She leaned against her father， who held her in his arm， as she stared out of the window at the passing people with a queer (strange， odd) old-fashioned thoughtfulness in her big eyes.
Principally， she was thinking of what a queer thing it was that at one time one was in India in the blazing sun， and then in the middle of the ocean， and then driving in a strange vehicle through strange streets where the day was as dark as the night. She found this so puzzling that she moved closer to her father.
“What is it， darling ” Captain Crewe asked， holding her closer and looking down into her face.
During her short life only one thing had troubled her， and that thing was “the place” she was to be taken to some day. The climate of India was very bad for children， and as soon as possible they were sent away from it—generally to England and to school. She had seen other children go away， and had heard their fathers and mothers talk about the letters they received from them. She had known that she would be obliged to go also， and though sometimes her father’s stories of the voyage and the new country had attracted her， she had been troubled by the thought that he could not stay with her.
She had liked to think of that. To keep the house for her father； to ride with him， and sit at the head of his table when he had dinner parties； to talk to him and read his books—that would be what she would like most in the world， and if one must go away to “the place” in England to attain it， she must make up her mind to go. She did not care very much for other little girls， but if she had plenty of books she could console herself.
It was a big， dull， brick house， exactly like all the others in its row， but that on the front door there shone a brass plate on which was engraved in black letters：
MISS MINCHIN， Select Seminary for Young Ladies.
“I don’t like it， papa，” she said. “But then I dare say soldiers—even brave ones—don’t really like going into battle.” Sara stood quietly， with her eyes fixed upon Miss Minchin’s face. She was thinking something odd， as usual.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一个名叫Sara的小女孩去英国求学的故事。
(　　)5.What can we learn from the story
A.Sara felt relieved about her departure from her father.
B.Sara was about to be sent to London for a completely new life.
C.Sara was thinking of a way to escape being sent to a foreign country.
D.Sara was persuaded to receive further education in England.
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“and if one must go away to ‘the place’ in England to attain it， she must make up her mind to go”及第八段中的“MISS MINCHIN， Select Seminary for Young Ladies.”可知，小女孩必须得去英国进一步接受教育，这是父母们所希望的。尽管她不想去，但是这是她做自己想做的事情之前必须要做的事情。由此推知，Sara被说服去英国接受进一步的教育。
D
(　　)6.What does the underlined word “console” in Paragraph 6 probably mean
A.Entertain. B.Occupy.
C.Comfort. D.Improve.
【解析】 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“that would be what she would like most in the world， and if one must go away to ‘the place’ in England to attain it， she must make up her mind to go. She did not care very much for other little girls”可知，Sara并不想去英国进一步接受教育，但是她必须要去。在那里她可能不认识其他小女孩，但是书可以安慰她寂寞的心灵。console意为“安慰”，与comfort意思相近。
C
(　　)7.What does Sara probably think of her future in the new place
A.She didn’t mind living with other girls.
B.She hated the idea of living independently.
C.She was positive about the new life at school.

记叙文 对异国文化的兴趣 ★★★ 6 min P50
　　As a big country， China’s economic and political influence is felt around the world. And its influence in education and culture has been growing too. The Confucius Institute offering free language classes has gained increasing popularity in both Hungary and Serbia. By offering opportunities to learn Chinese language and traditional arts， Confucius Institutes bring Chinese culture closer to interested learners， and serving as bridges between nations.
During my childhood， I held an unspoken fascination for Asian culture， a passion cultivated through watching dramas such as The Monkey King. At the time， the idea of studying this captivating region didn’t occupy my mind. My turning point came when the desire to challenge myself led me to choose China for further education. It was a decision—not only for
academic growth， but also to experience the responsibility of looking after myself. Taking the road that is less travelled means less company， less comfort. But it also means forging a life with an entirely different perspective I am seeking.
Undertaking Chinese language training presented a remarkable opportunity for many reasons. I firmly believe that acquiring proficiency in the language of the culture is not merely useful， but is also an effective means to truly understand that culture. The combination of learning the language in a classroom setting and applying it in everyday life offers an enriching experience. I participated in the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival celebrations held by my local Confucius Institute， such as trying my hand at Chinese crafts， which provided me with a first-hand experience of the culture.
If given another chance， I would explore even deeper into the rich cultural tapestry that surrounds me. Exploring renowned landmarks like the Oriental Pearl Tower (previously unvisited) felt like embarking on a new journey of discovery. I can say that along this path， I am gradually learning that valuable lessons unfold step by step.
