4.Directions Facial expressions carry meanings that are partly determined by culture. For example, many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do, so teachers in the United States sometimes have trouble knowing whether their Japanese students understand and enjoy their lessons.Another example is the smile. As a common facial expression, it may show affection, convey politeness, or disguise(掩饰) true feelings. But in different cultures. smiles have different meanings. Many people in Russia consider smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even a suspicious behavior.Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places, for American culture a smile is typically an expression of pleasure.Therefore some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don&39; t smile enough. In Southeast Asian cultures, a smile is frequently used to cover emotional pain or embarrassment. Vietnamese people may tell the sad story of how they had to leave their country but end the story with a smile.61.

    正确答案: A
    解析:
    题干中已经明确指出答案出自第一段,因此根据题干关键词They don’t talk the same language可定位到最后一句“‘They don’t talk the same language’ has a major metaphorical meaning alongside its literal one”, 可知本题考查的应该是这句话的隐喻意思,因此应该在第一段中进行概括总结,这时会发现倒数第二句“‘Common language’ here usually means a foreign language, but the same point applies in principle to any encounter with unfamiliar dialects or styles within a single language”,意思是“共同语言指的是一门外语,但是说同一语言下的不熟悉的方言或文体内也会有类似的问题”,由此可知,这里They don’t talk the same language应该理解为在方言和文体上存在的问题。该句先是说通常情况下,所以该题选C。

    D

    正确答案: C
    解析:
    事实细节的找寻和判断。录音中提到“However, the past 300 years or so have seen a dramatic increase in the death or disappearance of languages…”,由此可知,大约300年前,某些语言就出现了加速消亡的现象。因此选项B(直到200年前,语言才出现加速消亡的现象)与录音原文不符。
    【录音原文】
      Half of the 6,000 or so languages spoken in the world are under threat and a wealth of human knowledge could be lost with them, according to a new study. The study says pressures from dominant languages such as English, French, Spanish and Russian are drowning out minority tongues at an accelerating pace. “The dying and disappearance of languages has been going on for thousands of years as a natural event in human society, but at a slow rate,” says the study funded by UNESCO. “However, the past 300 years or so have seen a dramatic increase in the death or disappearance of languages leading to a situation today in which 3,000 or so languages that are still spoken are endangered, seriously endangered or dying.” The study cites several reasons for the disappearance of languages, ranging from repressive government policies and assimilation to economic pressures, migratory trends, disease and natural disasters. While sounding the alarm, it notes that a determined multilingual approach can rescue even the most threatened tongues. In Japan, only eight elderly people spoke Ainu on Hokkaido Island by the late l980s after decades of official neglect, but promotional policies have since revived the language.

  • 第17题:

    单选题
    Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage. In a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者) listed “to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents. In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the more individually oriented (强调个性发展的) Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education. Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens. Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens?()
    A

    They can do better in their future studies.

    B

    They can accumulate more group experience there.

    C

    They can be individually oriented when they grow up.

    D

    They can have better chances of getting a first-rate education

    D

    解析:
    逻辑关系的找寻和判断。题干中的关键词为Ainu。录音中出现该词之前,提到“While sounding the alarm, it notes that a determined multilingual approach can rescue even the most threatened tongues”,可知通过坚定地执行多语政策,即时是受最大消亡威胁的语言也可获得拯救。接着录音中便给出日本方言Ainu的例子,指出20世纪80年代在北海道岛只有8名老人说Ainu,但该国对其实施的推广政策,使该语言得到复兴。由此可知C项的说法符合逻辑。
