　　閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

　　A

　　Living in a culture that is different from your own can be both an exciting and challenging experience. The following are six cultural differences between China and the US to help promote mutual understanding.

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

　　Family

　　In China, elders are traditionally treated with great respect while the 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.

　　Money

　　As is well known,the Chinese like to save. They are always conservative when they are planning to spend money. It is different in the US, where far fewer families are saving money for emergencies and education than their Chinese counterparts（對應面）

　　Education

　　Chinese people value education and career more than Americans, who in turn put more emphasis on good character and faith.

　　Team VS Individual

　　Basically China values the community and the US values the individual. If you achieve something in the US, 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 attributed to the greater whole, while in America individual merits （功績）are celebrated.

　　21. Which is the most appropriate word to show the first cultural difference ?

　　A. Privacy

　　B. Income

　　C. Age

　　D. Marriage

　　22. Which is true according to the passage?

　　A. American parents seldom live with their children.

　　B. There is no friendship between American people drinking together.

　　C. Chinese people are usually generous with money to spend.

　　D. Americans value good character and faith in terms of education.

　　23. Which one is similar to the underlined phrase?

　　A. is attached to

　　B. brings in

　　C. is promoted to

　　D. results in

　　細節題的破解一般采用尋讀法，即先看試題，再讀文章。對有關信息進行快速定位，再將相關信息進行整合、甄別、分析、對比，有根有據地排除干擾項，選出正確答案。做此類型的題目還要特別注意句子的邏輯關系。英語中有許多功能詞，如：表因果關系的because, since, as等；表轉折關系的but, however ,on the contrary, on the other hand等等。比如第22小題D細節理解題。根據Education部分Chinese people value education and career more than Americans, who in turn put more emphasis on good character and faith. 中國人比美國人更重視教育和事業，而美國人更加重視良好的品格和忠貞的信念。故選D。

　　India now leads the world in smartphone growth. It saw a 55% increase in the number of smartphones in 2024. The number of Web users increased by 37 %. Smartphones were the source of 65 % of its Internet traffic and 41 % of its e-commerce, according to a report by the analyst Mary Meeker, titled “Internet Trends 2024”.

　　India’s Internet boom has started. Within three or four years, almost every adult in India will own a smartphone. They will be used to order goods, read news, monitor crop growth and so on.

　　Indian adults will be very interested in these devices just as young Americans are. 87 % of Americans between the ages of 18 and 34 who own smartphones say they never separate from these: “My smartphone never leaves my side.” Four out of five say that the first thing they do on waking is to reach for their smartphones. And three fifths believe that in the next five years everything will be done on mobile devices.

　　In the business world, the rise of mobile platforms is dramatically transforming many industries all over the world. What Indian software developers have to do is to start thinking about solutions to old problems by using all the features of these new devices. They need to take advantage of the unique properties of smartphones and tablets. As Indian software developers and enterprises master the smartphone, they will be able to export their solutions to the rest of the world.

　　This will make possible a new tech revolution that is greater than what created India’s IT industry in the 1980s and 1990s. We can expect the rapid transformation of India when a billion people become connected and have equal access to information and services.

　　24. Loads of numbers are used in Paragraph 1 to show _____________.

　　A. India’s smartphones increase most rapidly in the world

　　B. India has the most advanced IT industry in the world

　　【名師點撥】 推理判斷題要求在理解原文表面文字信息的基礎上，做出一定的推理判斷，從而得到文章的隱含意義和深層意義。推理判斷題所涉及的內容可能是文中的某一句話，也可能是某幾句話，所以，推理題的答案只能是根據原文表面文字信息一步推出的答案：即對原文某一句話或某幾句話所作的同義改寫或綜合。推理判斷題的題干中通常含infer,suggest,imply,conclude? indicate等標志性詞語。 這種題型主要包括細節判斷題、態度觀點推斷題、寫作意圖推斷題、文章出處判斷題和猜測想象推斷題。比如，第26小題B推理判斷題。根據文章最后一段第一句This will make possible a new tech revolution that is greater than what created India’s IT industry in the 1980s and 1990s. 這將成為一個新的技術革命，它比在20世紀80年代和20世紀90年代印度的信息產業更偉大。故選B。

　　C

　　A man enters a store to buy milk. He walks out of the store with milk. That is all—milk. At the same time, a woman enters the same grocery store also to buy milk. She buys it. But, she also buys chicken and lemons to make dinner that night. She also gets a bottle of wine for drinks with friends and a birthday card for her husband’s niece. And that is the difference between the female and male brains simply explained in a grocery store. Generally speaking, men do one thing at a time. Women do many. Doing many things at one time is often called “multi-tasking,” a very popular word these days.

　　Now scientific research supports this theory about male and female brains. A recent study has confirmed what we have known all along—men and women think differently.

　　Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania studied brain images of 949 people aged from 8 to 22 years old. They found that male brains have more connections on one side of the brain, or hemisphere. In the female brain, they found more activity and connections between the right and left sides of the brain. The left side of the brain is known as the side of “reason”. The right hemisphere is known as the “creative” side.

　　Regina Verma is a professor at the University of Pennsylvania. She co-wrote the report. She says when women are asked to do something complicated they might use different parts of the brain. But men generally use just one.

　　As a result, men generally deal directly with a problem. There is a strong connection between the “understanding” and the “action” parts of their brains. Women, however, might include other parts of the brain, like the part connected with “reason” and the part connected with sensitivity when solving a problem. Women take a less direct path to find a solution.

　　Thanks for your listening. I’m your announcer Anna Matteo.

　　28. From Paragraph 1, we can learn that women _____________.

　　A. are more hard-working than men

　　B. are more multi-tasking than men

　　C. are more careful than men

　　29. When asked to do something complicated, men __________.

　　A. only use the “reason” side of the brain

　　B. only use the “creative” side of the brain

　　C. use different parts of the brain

　　D. use one part of the brain

　　30. What can be inferred from the passage?

　　A. Men like doing something difficult.

　　B. Men take a less direct path to find a solution.

　　C. Women usually deal with a problem indirectly. D. Women brains have more connections on one side.

　　31. The main purpose of the passage is to tell us ______________.

　　A. that men and women really do think differently

　　B. who want to go shopping more, men or women

　　C. why women want to do many things at one time

　　D. that men and women all like to drink milk

　　抓住文章主線，歸納文章中心

　　要注意不是所有的段落都有主題句，有時主題句暗含在句中。閱讀這樣的文章，就需要自己根據文章的細節來分析，概括出段落的主題，從而推導出文章的主旨。分析的方法是：先弄清該段落主要講了哪幾方面的內容，這些內容在邏輯上有什么聯系，然后加以歸納形成主題。比如第31小題，A主旨大意。本文主要講述男女大腦的不同，男性更加理性，單一而直接執行某一任務，而女性能在同一時間做很多事情，故A項符合文意。
