Module 5 Ethnic Culture ‎ (建议用时：35分钟)‎ Ⅰ.阅读理解 A ‎(2020·湖北八校第一次联考)Traveling to a foreign country can make you frightened if you don’t know the local language. Mr. Thibault has a number of tips to help travelers manage in a destination when they don’t speak the native tongue, based on his own experience. Here are a few of them.‎ ‎●Download a Language Translation App Mr. Thibault tends to rely on Google Translate and suggests that travelers find an app that works for them. Ideally, find one that specializes in the language you need to translate especially if the language uses a character set you’re not familiar with, or have difficulty pronouncing.‎ ‎●Speak with Your Hands and Head Pointing with your hands and nodding or shaking your head, Mr. Thibault said, are easy ways to communicate with locals in the country you’re in. “Gestures are all universally understood，” he said.‎ ‎●Learn a Few Key Words Knowing basic words and phrases like “hello”， “thank you” and “I’m sorry. I don’t speak your language. Do you speak English？” is a must, Mr. Thibault said. Showing that you care enough to learn some of the language before you go, and at least enough to acknowledge that you don’t know more, is a form of respect and will go a long way to be liked by locals.‎ ‎●Work with a Local Travel Agent If you feel particularly uncomfortable in the country you’re headed to, and you have to go anyway, relying on a local travel agent who knows both your and your destination’s languages can be incredibly useful.‎ ‎●Hire a Local Tour Guide A tour guide can help you get a better grasp of the local language and is a good person to practice words and phrases with. Whenever Mr. Thibault visits a new country, he books a sightseeing tour with a guide on the first day of his trip. “I use this day to learn about my destination and get familiar with the language，” he said.‎ 7‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇应用文。文章针对不会说外语的旅行者到国外旅游提出了几条建议，包括下载翻译软件、使用肢体语言、出发前学习关键词、利用当地旅行社的帮助以及雇用当地导游。‎ ‎1．In what situation should a language translation app be applied while traveling abroad?‎ A．When you have trouble pronouncing the words.‎ B．When you want to acknowledge your ignorance.‎ C．When you want to practice the local language.‎ D．When you feel uncomfortable in the country.‎ A　解析：细节理解题。根据题干中的关键词“a language translation app”定位至第二段，根据该段第二句“Ideally, find one that specializes in the language you need to translate especially if the language uses a character set you’re not familiar with, or have difficulty pronouncing.”可知，在该语言使用你不熟悉的字符集或者你发音有困难时，你应当下载翻译软件，故A项正确。‎ ‎2．What is the easiest way to communicate with foreigners according to the text?‎ A．Downloading a language translation app.‎ B．Learning a few key words.‎ C．Using body language.‎ D．Working with a guide.‎ C　解析：推理判断题。根据第三段第一句“Pointing with your hands and nodding or shaking your head, Mr. Thibault said, are easy ways to communicate with locals in the country you’re in.”可知，使用双手、点头或摇头，是你和当地人交流的简单的方式；据此可推知，使用肢体语言是与当地人交流最简单的方式，故C项正确。‎ ‎3．How can you better understand the local language?‎ A．By speaking with your hands and head.‎ B．By learning a few key words.‎ C．By downloading a language translation app.‎ D．By hiring a local tour guide.‎ D　解析：细节理解题。根据尾段第一句“A tour guide can help you get a better grasp of the local language and is a good person to practice words and phrases with.”可知，导游可以帮助你更好地掌握当地的语言，而且导游是你与其练习单词和短语的最佳人选，故D项正确。‎ B ‎(2020·重庆质量抽测)Would a faster reading speed mean that 7‎ ‎ we could learn more? Some people claim that it’s possible. In July last year, the sixtime speed reading champion Anne Jones sat down to read Harper Lee’s Go Set a Watchman. Just 25 minutes and 31 seconds later, she finished it—which equals a reading rate of around 3，700 words per minute. Jones runs training courses teaching speed reading, recall and concentration techniques and there are numerous speed reading apps that have appeared on the market over the past few years. But do they actually work?‎ First, we need to understand how we read. The human eye movement system is central to our reading ability. Read over that sentence again, and think about how your eyes scan across the words. They don’t move smoothly over them. Instead, they make a series of short, sharp jumps, skipping over a few characters before briefly landing on a word. The movements are known as saccades(扫视) and the pauses are called fixations.‎ Reading isn’t just about seeing the words—you need to comprehend them to build up a picture about what the text means. People are able to get through a block of text faster, but at the cost of accuracy and understanding. In other words, if you use a speed reading app, then you’ll probably get the gist(主旨) of a piece of text, but you’ll struggle to recall details about what you’ve just read.‎ So, does speed reading work? Well, yes and no. It really depends on what you’re reading and why you need to read it. As yet, there isn’t a trick that enables you to read a piece of text both quickly and accurately—there’s always going to be a tradeoff．‎ ‎【解题导语】　本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了快速阅读有一定作用。虽然快速阅读能掌握文章的主旨，但是回忆细节还需要时间。‎ ‎4．What’s the main idea of the passage?‎ A．Speed reading is bad at times.‎ B．Speed reading is a waste of time.‎ C．Speed reading can work sometimes.‎ D．Speed reading is always enjoyable.‎ C　解析：主旨大意题。根据第一段尾句“But do they actually work？”可知，本文第一段对快速阅读是否有用提出疑问；接着第二段介绍了阅读能力与眼睛运动系统有关，结合第三段尾句可知，使用速读应用程序你很可能掌握主旨大意，但是文章细节不一定能掌握。据此可推知，快速阅读有时是有用的，故C项正确。‎ ‎5．What can we know from the passage?‎ 7‎ A．Reading apps ensure us to read much faster.‎ B．Fast reading makes us learn more knowledge.‎ C．Reading is no more than seeing the text words.‎ D．Reading ability is related to the eye movement system.‎ D　解析：细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“The human eye movement system is central to our reading ability.”可知，人的眼睛运动系统对我们的阅读能力很重要，故D项正确。‎ ‎6．What does the underlined word “tradeoff” most probably mean in the last paragraph?‎ A．Balance. B．Change.‎ C．Business. D．Bargain.‎ A　解析：词义猜测题。根据最后一段尾句“As yet, there isn’t a trick that enables you to read a piece of text both quickly and accurately—there’s always going to be a tradeoff．”可知，到目前为止，还没有一种技巧可以让你既快速又准确地阅读一篇文章——这总要一种平衡。据此可推知，画线词意为“平衡”，故A项正确。‎ ‎7．What might the writer continue to talk about?‎ A．The advantages of faster or slower reading.‎ B．The reasons why to do faster or slower reading.‎ C．The cases where to do faster and slower reading.‎ D．The methods for making use of faster or slower reading.‎ C　解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段尾句“As yet, there isn’t a trick that enables you to read a piece of text both quickly and accurately—there’s always going to be a tradeoff．”可知，到目前为止，还没有一种技巧可以让你既快速又准确地阅读一篇文章——这总要一种平衡；据此可推知，本文接下来可能阐述在什么情况下进行速读以及在什么情况下进行慢读，故C项正确。‎ Ⅱ.完形填空 ‎(2020·石家庄重点高中摸底考试)On my way back home I was stopped at traffic lights by some people who asked for help.
