Answer 1

【答案】

【1】A

【2】B

【3】B

【4】D

【解析】

本文主要講述東西方之間的文化差異，比如在交朋友上，東方人花費(fèi)時(shí)間比較長；在平時(shí)交往上，西方人認(rèn)為問關(guān)于個(gè)人生活問題是侵犯隱私；在家庭關(guān)系上，西方人則更加獨(dú)立。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由文章內(nèi)容“In the East and in the West, social rules are not the same.”可知，東西方的社會規(guī)則是不同的，故選A。

【2】詞義猜測題。由文章內(nèi)容“For people from the West, these are not polite questions. They think such kind of questions violates their privacy (隱私).”可知，問別人薪水是不禮貌的，所以，violates詞義應(yīng)是負(fù)面的，而不能是“保護(hù)，尊重，分享”。故選B。

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。A. People in the West are easier to make friends with others than the Eastern. 西方人比東方人更容易交朋友。由文章內(nèi)容“When people from the West meet you, they will call you a friend right away.”，可知，西方的人更容易交朋友，故A正確。B. People in the West like to ask questions about people’s personal life. 西方國家的人喜歡問一些關(guān)于個(gè)人生活的問題。由文章內(nèi)容“When people from the East meet you, they want to know about your age, your salary (薪水) and whether you are married or not. For people from the West, these are not polite questions.”，可知，東方的人喜歡問關(guān)于生活的問題。故B錯(cuò)誤。C. Kids in the East usually spend more time living with their parents than kids in the West. 東部的孩子通常比西部的孩子花更多的時(shí)間和父母住在一起。由文章內(nèi)容“in the East, kids live with their parents for a long time.”，可知，東方的孩子和父母居住更長的時(shí)間，故C正確。D. People in the West and East think differently. 西方和東方的人有不同的想法。由文章內(nèi)容“people think differently, too.”，可知，東西方的人思考是不同的，故D正確。故選B。

【4】主旨大意題。由文章內(nèi)容 “In the East and in the West, social rules are not the same.”可知，本文主要講述東西方的文化差異，故選D。
