一、选用适当的连接词填空1.Where2.what3.how4.what5.when6.why二、完形填空1.D。词汇复现题。该段讲述的是作者初到中国时对中国文化所持有的态度。结合第一段中提到的三个基本阶段anger,acceptance和appreciation可知作者目前是处于第一个阶段,即anger。2.A。推理判断题。根据下文“Irejectedtheviewoftherebeingotherwaysofdoingthings”可知作者拒绝接受处理事情的其他的方式,因为他认为其他方式都是错误的。因为错误,所以拒绝。3.C。上下文语境题。根据下文中“Ioftenacceptedsituations...”可知作者后来逐渐接受了一些中国文化。所以答案选C。4.A。逻辑推理题。根据上下文可知作者对于某些文化现象的接受仍凭个人的喜好。preference“偏爱,喜好”。5.D。逻辑推理题。作者觉得人们解释一些文化现象时仅仅说一句“这是在中国”的行为很愚蠢。6.C。词义辨析题。mention“提到,提及”;refer“指的是”。此处是解释上文的“That’sinChina.”,mean“意思是”,符合语境。7.D。词汇复现题。此处作者是讲述自己是如何接受中国文化的,所以选D项。8.A。逻辑推理题。根据作者的转变可推断他像当地人一样自如地运用中国人的处事方式。9.C。词义辨析题。句意:在我的国家,我们从来不吃鱼头。serve表示“端上(饭菜)”,符合语境。10.D。词义辨析题。带头的鱼端上来以后,他认为鱼在瞪着自己。glanceat“瞥了一眼”;stareat“盯着,瞪着”。根据句意选D。11.B。逻辑推理题。根据语境推断当时作者认为,在鱼看来自己就是一个残忍的人。所以选B。12.D。逻辑推理题。空格前的take表示“花费”,根据语境可知,对于西方人来说,有的人需要花费更长的时间来接受一种新的文化。所以答案选D。13.A。词义辨析题。根据语境可知,一个人对于一种新的文化的接受速度取决于其适应能力。adaptable“可适应的”;
