1. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.Different cultures emphasize the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “ small talk ”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries------like the UK or France 2.

Talks and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; 3. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.

Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; 4. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.

People from different parts of the world have different values, 5. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.

A. and sometimes these values are quite against each other.

B. Meeting people from another culture can be difficult.

C. people from both nations keep the rule that work comes first.

D. instead there was an uncomfortable silence.

E. however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly.

F. people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.

G. It is quite a common case to meet people from different cultures.

2. It connected the village and the town. One morning people found there was a big stone on it. It stopped them from going to town.

科目:高中英语 来源:2016届湖南衡阳第八中学理科实验班高一自主招生二英语试卷(解析版) 题型:阅读理解

This brief book is aimed at high school students, but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life.

Its formal, serious style closely matches its content, a school-masterly book on schooling. The author, W. H. Armstrong, starts with the basics: reading and writing. In his opinion, reading doesn’t just mean recognizing each word on the page; it means taking in the information, digesting it and incorporating it into oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself. The goal is to bring the information back to life, not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees. Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other; in fact, the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text. I’ve seen it again and again: some one who can’t express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasn’t read it at all.

Only a third of the book remains after that discussion, which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages, math, science and history. He generally handles these topics thoroughly and equally, except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion (激情) regarding history to his students, that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across. To my disappointment, in this part of the book he ignores the arts. As a matter of fact, they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind. Although it’s commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired, actually, learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics.

My other comment is that the text aged. The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s—none of the references(参考文献) seem newer than the late 1950s. As a result, the discussion misses the entire computer age.

These are small points, though, and don’t affect the main discussion. I recommend it to any student and any teacher, including the self-taught student.

1.According to Armstrong, the goal of reading is to ________.

A.gain knowledge and expand one’s view

B.understand the meaning between the lines

C.express ideas based on what one has read

D.get information and keep it alive in memory

2.The author of the passage insists that learning the arts ________.

A.requires great efforts

B.demands real passion

C.is less natural than learning maths

D.is as natural as learning a language

3.What is a shortcoming of Armstrong’s work according to the author?

A.Some ideas are slightly contradictory.

B.There is too much discussion on studying science.

C.The style is too serious.

D.It lacks new information.

4.This passage can be classified as ________.

A.an advertisement B.a book review

C.a feature story D.A news report

Do you know how to choose a good book you’ll really like? Here are some tips.

Start With Your Interest. 1. . You can choose something you love to read, not for school. They can be something about cooking, computers, or fashion design.

What’s Your Type? Do you prefer fiction(小说)or nonfiction (or both)? Fiction books can take you to another world or help you imagine something beyond your own experience. Nonfiction books give you the who, what, when, and why of something. 2. . Many of them are interesting from beginning to end.

Read the introductions. The reviews and quotes(引语)in the book may give you an idea of what the book is about. They can also help you choose future books, too. If you find a book you really like, take a minute to read the quotes and see which writers praised the book. 3. .

Find a Family Favorite. Which book did your mother love best when she was at your age? 4. . Find out and read them, then your family can share the thoughts about the book.

Finally, you’ll probably enjoy the book much more if you find a quiet place and make time for it. 5. . But you can also play some good music, get yourself some tea and let yourself be carried away by the book. You’ll see that time does fly when you’re reading something you love!

A. They tell stories using facts — but that doesn’t mean they’re boring.

B. Often, they have similar styles and you might find books you like by those writers, too.

C. Reading is a good way to improve your English.

D. Reading for fun isn’t like reading for school.

E. How about your brothers and sisters?

F. So you should read as much as possible when you are free.

G. Most reading is best enjoyed when you can concentrate on it.

Recently, as the development of the Internet, there is a kind of language calling the Web Language. The other day our class had a discussion about if we should welcome the Web Language.

Forty percent of the students think it ridiculous. They argue that it does no good to help people communicate, nor is it useful for learning languages. Beside, it'll make Chinese more standard and pure, finally ruining our mother tongue. However, 69% of our class is fond of it. They think it is simple, convenient and helpful in expressing them. What's more, it may make the language more interesting.

Personally, it’s not good habit to use the Web Language. It may be popular, but you may also make yourself be misunderstood.
