Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension
Individuals in every culture have similar basic needs but express them differently. In daily life we
all initiate(开始)conversation, use of formal and informal speech, give praise, express
disagreement, seek information, and extend invitations. Some of the verbal patterns we use are
influenced by our culture.
Whereas directness in speech is common in the United States, indirectness is the rule in parts
of the Far East. Thus people from both of these parts of the world would probably express
criticism of others differently. In parts of the Middle East a host is expected to offer food several
times but in the United States he may make an offer only once or twice. The different modes of
expression represent variations(变化) on the same theme. Each language reflects and creates
cultural attitudes; each has a unique way of expressing human need.
36. The passage states that people from various cultures _________.
A. **mon needs but express them differently
B. **mon needs and therefore express them similarly
C. don't **mon needs and therefore do not have similar expressions
D. don't **mon needs but express them similarly
37. In the third sentence, "verbal patterns" means _________.
A. the ways we use words. B. the ways we speak
C. the ways we write D. the ways we use verbs
38. According to the passage, when we start a conversation which of the following is NOT true?
A. We give praise. B. We receive information.
C. We express disagreement. D. We offer invitations.
39. Generally hosts in the United States do not offer food more than once or twice because they
_________.
A. don't expect you to be hungry
B. expect you to say immediately what you really want
C. expect you to refuse politely
D. expect you to feel at home
40. What is the main point of the passage?
A. Directness is characteristic of American speech.
B. Indirectness is the rule in parts of the Far East.
C. One should learn the unwritten rules of the speech in a culture in order to understand the
people.
D. It's important to use formal and informal speech in daily conversation.
To swim across the English Channel takes at least nine hours. It's a hard work and it makes you
short of breath. To fly over the Channel takes only twenty minutes, but it's an expensive way to
travel. You can travel by hovercraft if you don't mind the noise, and that takes forty minutes.
Otherwise you can go by boat, within four hours, you can reach England. If you dream of being
able to drive to France in your own ear, "Not possible", you say. Well, wait a minute. People are
once again considering the idea of a Channel tunnel or bridge.
This time, the Greater London Council is looking into the possibility of building a Channel
link straight to London. A bridge would cost far more than a tunnel, but you would be able to go
by rail or by car on a bridge, whereas(然而，而) a tunnel would provide a rail link only.
Why is this idea being discussed again'? Is Britain realizing the need for links with Europe as a
result of joining tile EEC(欧共体)? Well, perhaps. Tile main reason, though, is that a tunnel or
bridge would reach the twenty square kilometers of London's disused dockland(船坞地). A link
from London to the continent would stimulate trade and revitalize (使……重新具有活力) the
port, and would make London a main trading center in Europe.
