Question

【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項為多余選項。

As we all know, different countries have different cultures. The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. 【1】

The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are fostered by rivers—the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India. 【2】

Then in Tang Dynasty of China, the Chinese culture gradually went overseas to Japan, mixed into the Japanese society and shaped the Japanese culture nowadays. Though a bit different from the Chinese one, it belongs to the same system.

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. 【3】 Like the Chinese culture, the European one 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 one a lot.

【4】 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 counts as well. But what’s more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference (干擾) from the other.

The differences are everywhere. 【5】 But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle (障礙) to the civilization of human being. It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.

A. Let us work together to keep a variety of culture.

B. And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture.

C. One important thing is to learn about other cultures.

D. They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.

E. They are obvious and affect people’s ways of thinking and their views of the world.

F. At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences.

G. This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】G

【2】D

【3】B

【4】F

【4】E

【解析】

試題分析：說明文，不同的國家有不同的文化，介紹了東西方的文化的起源，發(fā)展及區(qū)別。

【1】G考查上下文中的邏輯關系，前后兩句構(gòu)成因果關系。根據(jù)上一句話的句意“The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot.東西方的文化在很多方面都是不同的”，這是因為是兩個不同的文化系統(tǒng)。所以答案選G。

【2】D考查上下文中的邏輯關系，根據(jù)上一句話“Both of the two cultures are fostered by rivers—the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India.這2種文化都是由中國的河流黃河和印度的印度河培育的�！逼渲杏幸粋�非常關鍵的詞both, two。另外也根據(jù)意思可以知道答案是選D They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.他們幫助這兩家文化發(fā)展了幾百年，形成了自己的風格。前后兩句形成一種因果關系。

【3】B 考查上下文中的邏輯關系，根據(jù)前一句話“This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome這個文明后來發(fā)展成古希臘和古羅馬的文化”， 其中的關鍵詞是古希臘和古羅馬，也就是歐洲。所以答案是B And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture.這兩者都是歐洲文化的基礎。

【4】F 考查上下文中的邏輯關系，根據(jù)下一句話“Take the language system for example. 以語言系統(tǒng)為例”，表明下面的內(nèi)容是舉例的，再根據(jù)這一句話“Other causes like human race difference counts as well”可以知道，其中的關鍵詞是difference，所以答案選F At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences.同時，一些其他差異增加了文化差異。

【4】E 考查上下文中的邏輯關系，劃線部分前后句一起翻譯的意思是“The differences are everywhere. They are obvious and affect people’s ways of thinking and their views of the world.But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful. 差異無處不在。他們明顯影響人們的思維方式和世界觀，但不同的文化使第二十一個世紀更加多姿多彩。”劃線部分與前一句的關系是遞進關系，與下一句的關系是轉(zhuǎn)折關系。
