READING COMPREHENSION （10小题，每小题2分，共20分）Read the following two passages and answer the questions.Passage One:Complete messages contain a variety of sentence types. You will hold your readers attention if you vary the length and structure of your sentences as well as the structure of your paragraphs.It is best to keep sentences at 20 words or less. At the same time, it adds interest to have some noticeably short sentencesperhaps 10 words or even fewer. Using sentences of different lengths keeps your writing from feeling choppy or monotonous. As you vary sentence length, your sentence structure naturally varies as well. Alternate simple sentences with compound and complex sentences.Varying paragraph length also keeps your writing from being choppy. Weve already said that the opening and closing paragraphs of a message should be relatively short. When writing your middle paragraphs plan them so that they average about six or eight lines long. Mix in a short, two- or three- line paragraph sometimes to add interest. A short paragraph also is a way to emphasize an important point.21.It is advisable to keep the average length of a sentence at _.more than 20 words. not more than 20 words. 10 words or fewer. 22.The word choppy in the passage means _.short irregular waves cut into pieces short, broken and slightly rough. 23.According to the last paragraph, _.the length of all paragraphs should be the same the middle paragraphs should be shorter than the beginning and ending ones the middle paragraphs should be longer than the beginning and ending ones 24.When you write sentences of different lengths, _.the structure of the sentences will also be different they will have the same structure your variation will have no effect on the sentence structure 25.In the following statements, which is true about a short paragraph?It is less important than a long paragraph.

Passage Two:Although language is an important part of communication, communication is not simply a matter of understanding and speaking a language. It involves transmitting an idea and understanding someone elses idea. People from different cultures think differently about various issues than do North Americans. The ability of a North American to speak in three different languages still may not enable him or her to understand the issues from the viewpoint of those from another culture.Cross-cultural communication differs from the more familiar within-culture communication situations in that there are systemic differences in the assumptions made by people of different cultures. Being aware of and understanding these different assumptions can help improve communication and relationships.The major problems of intercultural communication occur in perception and in attribution of meaning. Communication is defined as a “dynamic process whereby human behavior, both verbal and nonverbal, is perceived and responded to.” People respond according to their perceptions, not necessarily according to what the transmitter believes he or she is communicating. This is an interactive process.26. People from different cultures think differently about various issues than do North Americans. This sentence means _.Other people have deeper understanding than the North Americans. Other people understand more issues than the North Americans. Other people may understand things in a way different from that of the North Americans. 27.
