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 jobIn many European countries - like the UK or France - people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in ThailandI had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiledAfter 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; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. 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, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.47In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to _.Adevelop closer relations Bshare the same cultureCget to know each other Dkeep each other company48The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that _.Athe English prefer to make long speechesBtoo many words are of no useCpeople from Thailand are quiet and shy by natureDeven talk and silence can be culturally different49According to the text, how can people from different cultures understand each other better?ABy sharing different ways of life. BBy accepting different habits.CBy recognizing different values. DBy speaking each other s languages.50What would be the best title for the text?AMulticultural Environment. BCross-Cultural Differences.CHow to Understand Each Other. DHow to Build Up a Relationship.【答案】47-50 ADCB阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。There are many rights to make sure that people will be treated fairly when they are suspected or accused of a crime. Sometimes these rights are called due process of law. In using these rights, a person should have the help of a lawyer.You have a right to protect against unreasonable searches and seizures. The police generally may not search you or your home, or take things you own, without a warrant. A warrant is a paper which states, very exactly , the place to be searched and the things to be taken. Sometimes, however, the police will not need a warrant to search you or your property. If an officer sees you committing a crime, or if he has a good reason to believe you have committed a serious crime, he may arrest you and search you and the area right around you without a warrant.If you invite a police without a warrant to come into your house and he finds proof of crime, the evidence may be used against you in court. If you do not want an officer to search you or your home and he does not have a warrant, tell him that you do not give him the right to search. However, if the officer will not listen, do not try to stop him. It is dangerous to resist and it may be illegal to do so. Any evidence which a policeman gets during an unlawful search and seizure cannot be used against you.Police officers must act reasonably and fairly at all times. They should use physical force only when it is needed to arrest someone to enforce a law. They may not use physical violence to teach someone a lesson.43.According to the passage, a warrant is_.A. an identification card B. an access cardC. a special license D. an official written order【参考答案】43-46 DACB-(由2020皖南八校第三次联改编考)Do you love traveling?

It will provide more chances for you to enjoy food and try on clothes that you otherwise cannot possibly have. A famous English author Francis Bacon (15611626) makes a point when he says that, “Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience.”Evidence of leisure travel can be traced (追溯) as far back as ancient Babylon. This year, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council, the 1 billionth tourist will cross an international boundary before the end of this month. That means that one in seven people on the planet traveled this year, something that would not have been possible a few decades ago. Around 20 years ago only the rich could travel.While the US and France remain the two largest destinations for world travel, experts say much of the explosive growth in tourism has been to countries like Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, and the Ivory Coast, which werent even on the world tourism map a decade ago. The top five destinations in the world, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, are Paris, London, New York, the Mediterranean, Turkey.Several factors have led to the boom in world travel. The prosperity (富裕) of people in Asia is one factor. People in Asian developing countries have lifted their incomes above middleclass levels in the past few years. And a lot of them have used their new wealth to travel. In addition, travel costs have been reduced thank
