【題目】Living in a culture that is different from your own can be both an exciting and challenging experience. The following are 6 cultural differences between China and the USA to help promoting mutual understanding.

Money

As is well known, the Chinese are conservative when they are planning to spend money, but far fewer American families are saving money for emergencies and education than their Chinese counterparts (對(duì)等的人)..

Privacy

Chinese people do not have the same concept of privacy as American do. They talk about topic such as ages, income or marital (婚姻的) status, which Americans think is annoying and disturbing.

Family

In China, elders are traditionally treated with great respect while young are cared for. In America, the goal of the family is to encourage independence, particularly that of the children. Unlike the Chinese, older Americans seldom live with their children.

Friends

Chinese people have different meanings to define friends. Just hanging out together time to time is not friendship. Friendship means lifelong friends who feel it deeply necessary to give each other whatever help might seem required. Americans always call people they meet friends, so the definition of friends is general and different. There are work friends, playing friends, school friends and drinking friends.

Education

Chinese people value education and career more than Americans, who in turn attach more great importance to good character and faith, which they think are of great value in their life.

________

Basically China values the community and the USA values the individual. If you achieve something in the USA, it’s because you are great. While in China, if you achieve something, it’s because the team, or family, or company is great. Everything you do gets owed to the greater whole, while in American individual achievements are celebrated.

【1】What can be inferred from the passage?

A. Americans lay more stress on faith and good personality.

B. Americans think much of the individual and the community.

C. Americans are mean with money to spend while Chinese are not.

D. Americans define friendship almost the same.

【2】Which of the following can best describe the last difference?

A. Achievements B. Individual

C. Team VS Individual D. Teamwork

【3】What is the purpose of writing the passage?

A. To promote friendship between China and the USA.

B. To help Chinese live well in the USA.

C. To have a complete understanding of the USA.

D. To introduce the cultural differences between China and the USA

【答案】

【1】A

【2】C

【題目】China used to be called the “Kingdom of Bicycles”, but since then, cars have taken over the country. There are too many vehicles and pedestrians in the street now, so the roads are crowded nearly all the time, and even going a few kilometers can take up to an hour, which can explain the fact that it’s very difficult to travel across major Chinese cities.

Now, new apps that help people register and find bikes are being used more and more across cities like Beijing. The new apps that let people share bicycles are easing traffic, and reducing pollution. Cheng Li started using bike share services about six months ago. He said now he is using the car less and the bike more. For Zhang Jian, the bike share revolution makes him recollect the old days. “Now, when we’re riding home from work, especially in the evening, when it’s not rushed, it feels like we’re reliving the past,” Zhang said.

However, there is now a lot of competition among bike share providers because of their popularity. Some providers are trying to flood the streets with bikes to be more visible. Sometimes there are so many bikes that they completely block the sidewalks. This has become a problem for city governments. It is not uncommon for bike users to leave bikes in the middle of the street or on the sidewalk. This blocks cars and people in already crowded cities.

In Beijing’s southern district of Daxing, officials have been trying to fix the problem by seizing illegally parked bikes. VOA spoke to a woman who said, “Bike sharing is really convenient, but no one is taking care of the problem of illegally parked bikes.” Behind her were several thousand seized bikes.

Many people in China feel that bike shares are helping reduce the country’s transportation problems and polluted air. However, they also hope companies will do more to improve their service and avoid flooding the streets with bikes.

【1】Which is the cause of traffic jams in major Chinese cities?

A. The booming of cars. B. Lack of bike share services.

C. Poor road conditions. D. Lack of parking lots.

【2】What does the underlined word “recollect” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?

A. Step forward. B. Back off.

C. Look back. D. Slide away.

【3】What does paragraph 3 mainly want to tell us about the bike shares?

A. Their popularity. B. Their problems.

C. Their competition. D. Their advantages.

【4】What do you think will be discussed about the bike shares in the following paragraph?

A. They create bike revolution. B. They solve the traffic problems.

C. They bring about polluted air. D. They need further improving.

【題目】There is much discussion about the necessity of daily homework for students. Some say homework is necessary since only practice 【1】 (make) perfect, while others disagree. In my opinion, daily homework is necessary for students.

However, this might be misleading that one may believe all forms of homework are necessary. 【2】 (actual), only proper amount of homework in proper form is 【3】 (accept); some homework may not only fail 【4】 (help) the students, but on 【5】contrary bore them so much that they may lose their interest in studying. “Proper”homework, in my opinion, 【6】 (vary) in its forms, 【7】might be some extensive reading, a paper, or even just a game, as well as other ordinary exercise. And it should leave enough 【8】 (free) to the students so that they could do things they really like to do with self-motivation, rather than unwillingness. We should always remember that homework is something for us to guide the students, rather than drive them. Only if a teacher 【9】 (keep) this 【10】his/her mind, the homework could be of most help to the students.
