题目内容
【题目】阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Generally we know a little about the western people and their ways of life. When the difference is 【1】(wide) than our expectation, it becomes a cultural shock.
Cultural 【2】 (shock) may come in different ways. Once my friend, 【3】 businessman, after concluding a business with his suppliers in Hangzhou, 【4】 (whisper)to me, “Do we have to dine (进餐) together with them? ”I knew he was not sure of our dinner culture and reassured (使安心) him, “Yes, if you wish, 【5】 not necessary.” He did choose to dine with the suppliers but I don't think he enjoyed it. Hard as I tried 【6】 (focus) the dialogue on my friend, the suppliers always talked to me, 【7】 (leave) my friend seated there listening to a(n) 【8】 (relevant) conversation.
People who are familiar 【9】 Chinese ways know Chinese people drink hot water, and always remind their friends not to drink 【10】 (direct)when they receive a cup of water. I, too, don't take any chance, either ask my clients whether they need chilled water or normal or remind them the water might be hot.
China is an open country now and the cultural exchange has been quite frequent over the last 30 years. Such cultural shocks are less and less shocking.

【10】directly
【解析】
本文是说明文。作者通过亲身经历,说明了交往中的文化冲击现象及表现形式。随着中国的发展,文化冲击的影响越来越小。
【1】
考查形容词。句意:当差异超出我们的预期时,它就变成了文化冲击。根据than our expectation可知用比较级,故填wider。
【2】
考查名词复数。根据上文a cultural shock可知shock是可数名词,此处表示泛指文化冲击,用复数形式,故填shocks。
【3】
考查冠词。根据my friend可知指的是一个人,表示我的朋友是一名商人,businessman开头是辅音因素,故填a。
【4】
考查动词时态。此处讲述过去发生的事,与下文所给动词knew和 reassured一致也用一般过去时,故填whispered。
【5】
考查连词。句意:如果你愿意的话,可以,但不是必须的。Yes和是not necessary是转折关系,故填but。
【6】
考查动词不定式。此处表示“努力做某事”是try to do sth.后加不定式,故填to focus。
【7】
考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知句中已有谓语动词,此处应该用非谓语动词。句中主语和动词leave是主动关系,用现在分词作状语,故填leaving。
【8】
考查形容词。句意:尽管我努力把对话的重点放在我的朋友身上,但供应商总是跟我说话,让我的朋友坐在那里听着不相干的对话。根据句意可知供应商总是跟我说话,让我的朋友坐在那里听,所以这些谈话和朋友是不相干的,故填relevant 的反义词irrelevant。
【9】
考查介词。此处主语是人,表示“熟悉……”是be familiar with…,为固定短语。故填with。
【10】
考查副词。此处表示“直接喝”,修饰动词drink,用副词,故填directly。
