【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章作者认为国与国之间存在的文化差别是正常的。我们为自己的文化感到自豪同时,也对其他文化敞开胸怀。

1

考查形式主语。句意:如今,世界各地的人们联系更加紧密,因此人们常说世界正变得越来越小。分析句子,句中it is often said that符合形式主语的结构it + be + done+ that , it 为形式主语。真正的主语是后面的从句。故填it

2

考查时态。句意:这似乎有很多道理。分析句子,此处表示客观实在性,动词的时态应用一般现在时的时态。根据主谓一致原则,此处there的逻辑主语truth是不可数名词所以动词用单数形式。故填seems

3

考查非谓语动词。句意:但尽管如此,第一次造访国家的人还是会感到震惊。分析句子,简单句已有动词have, 故提示词shock需用非谓语动词。此处需用to do 做目的状语。故填to shocked

4

考查介词。句意:对我们许多人来说,国家之间的文化和习惯仍然存在着真正的差异。分析句意,此处缺“……中”表示在文化和习惯中。故填in

5

考查强调句。句意:然而,最常见的是不同文化之间的饮食习惯不同。分析句子,根据验证强调句的办法:去掉it + be that后,若剩余部分句法完整,则为强调句。此处去掉it + be that后剩余部分为eating habits are different between different culture此处句法完整。所以此处考查强调句。故填that

6

考查原因状语从句。句意:Kaushal感到很惊讶,因为在印度,餐馆只有一件事:吃。分析句子,划线后的内容是惊讶的原因,此处缺“因为”之意。故填because

7

考查副词。句意:人们注意到的文化差异可能是积极的,消极的,或者只是奇怪。分析句子,此处需将提示词变为副词来修饰后面的形容词strange。故填simply

8

考查非真实条件句的虚拟。句意:的确,如果整个世界像一个大国,那将是一个更加乏味的地方。分析句子,条件句表示和现在相反,从句用动词的过去时(be动词的过去时用were),主句部分用would / should/ could/ might +do 表示。此处表示和现在相反,所以提示词需用过去时。故填were

9

考查比较级。句意:那将是一个更加乏味的地方。分析句子,much常用来修饰形容词的比较。此处的dull是单音节,加-er即可。故填duller

10

考查代词。句意:所以,让我们为自己的文化感到自豪同时,也对其他文化敞开胸怀。分析句子,提示词other译为别的,其它的,它不能单独使用,后面必须要接可数名词的复数形式。此处需将其改为用法类似复数名词的othersof构成所属关系。故填others

【题目】 We all want to be successful in our work. But what happens when our achievements come at the risk of losing important friendships? If your friends didn't receive what they were hoping for, your success could make them feel like they've been “left in the dust”. But does that mean that we shouldn't enjoy our achievements in case we displease someone or that we should feel sorry for being successful when others aren't?

Those of us who value friendships and close working relationships might feel embarrassed for achieving more than our friends. But we deserve our success, and nothing should take it away. Jealousy is only natural, but It’s often unreasonable, too. Your success is probably not connected with your friends' progress, so you shouldn't feel bad about achieving your goals. If your friends stay unfriendly, don’t be afraid to keep yourself away from them. You are not responsible for their weaknesses, and nor should they treat you sharply for furthering your work.

On the other hand, your friends may think highly of your recent success while hiding their real feelings. They could be jealous, angry or sad that they are not progressing at the same rate. So, be careful not to boast. It's a thin line between pride and self-importance, and by crossing the line, you may risk losing team support.

Next time you want to boast about your end-of-year win, or high-class new office, consider your listeners. Maybe your friends narrowly missed out on a position-raising, or experienced pay cuts which meant they didn't get what they were expecting. If your work is on a rising path, it doesn't mean that's the case for everyone.

Perhaps a step forward in your work has meant that you don't spend as much time with your friends as you used to. If you've changed a post or moved to a new office, take the time to stay in touch with old friends. Chances are that in the build-up to your success you've built strong relationships along the way. Don't let that hard work go to waste by losing touch with them.

【题目】Kang Heng, 16, hasn’t been sleeping well in a tent the past couple of nights. Closing his eyes only brings repeated terror from all that happened and, worse still, all that could have happened at around 2:30 pm last Monday.

The student in Dongcheng High School in Mianyang, Sichuan Province was on his way to class after an afternoon nap(小睡) when the big earthquake hit the area.

“It’s a complete shock! As soon as I heard someone screaming Earthquake! I saw our classroom building being torn apart just in front of my eyes. The next second I saw a student jumping out of the window from the second floor, Tang recalled.

As the electricity was cut off, his teachers shouted as loud as they could to gather all the students in the school onto the playground. Although some were wounded by falling objects or injured while running out, they at least escaped death.

Thousands of people, young and old, were buried in ruins, mostly in the small cities and counties, such as Wenchuan, Beichuan, Dujiangyan, Anxian and Qingchuan, which are surrounded(包围) by hills and mountains.

By last Friday, around 19,000 people died because of the earthquake, which is the worst in China in 30 years. And the number is still rising.

More than 100,000 troops have continued to arrive at destroyed areas since the day after the quake hit. And more neighboring people were doing all they can to offer help.

Kang and his parents were among them. They drove in rain to Anxian County, an hour drive away from Mianyang, with water, instant noodles and plastic for building tents. Kang’s family finally found his terrified grandparents in Anxian on Wednesday morning.

“We first thought the worst had happened to my grandparents. But they had a narrow escape and were rescued by kind people, who were completely unknown to us. We are thankful to them and hope to do whatever we could to help others,” said Kang.
