21、Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. 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 (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or less 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 job. In 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 Thailand. I 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 smiled. After 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.
【1】In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to ________.
A. get to know each other B. share the same culture
C. keep each other company D. develop closer relations
【2】The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that ________.
A. the English prefer to make long speeches
B. even talk and silence can be culturally different
C. too many words are of no use
D. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature
【3】What would be the best title for the text?
A. How to Understand Each Other.
B. Multicultural Environment.
C. How to Build Up a Relationship.
D. Cross-Cultural Differences.
22、In 1665, Johannes Vermeer put the last drop of paint onto a canvas and completed his masterpiece “Girl With a Pearl Earring”. But years later on an April day a cyclist named Janine Strong stopped her bike and watched unexpectedly in her fitness app as the snaking line of her cycling route drew the shape of Vermeer’s masterpiece over streets.
Ms. Strong creates what has come to be known as “GPS art”. It is an art category, which means you go outside with your handheld Global Positioning System(GPS) and start moving. The GPS records your movement by creating the dots type of track. This track is a line that details the path you’ve travelled. When you look at this line on the map, then you can see various shapes. Ms. Strong plans her rides in the shapes of stars, birds, lions-and the occasional Vermeer. Then to complete the digital vision of Vermeer’s masterpiece, she biked almost 50 miles around a city to make sure each turn and circle was accurately achieving the covering of Vermeer’s original.
This kind of art form has grown with the widespread availability of satellite tracking for use by ordinary people in fitness apps. It is particularly popular in the app. Strava, and experienced a surge in use during the pandemic. According to a report, more than three billion activities have been uploaded to Strava since the beginning of 2020.
The “GPS art” can be considered the 21st-century version of large-scale drawings on the landscape, a concept gradually known for the world. It even has its own Guinness World Records categories. There was once a couple who completed a 4,500-mile bike ride across Europe that resulted in a 600-mile-wide GPS drawing of a bicycle-the largest such drawing on record.
【1】What is “GPS art” based on paragraph 2?
A．It is a system established by Janine Strong.
B．It is a line recording the path you travelled.
C．It is an art form realized by GPS tracking.
D．It is an application software creating pictures.
【2】How did Janine Strong finish her digital vision of Vermeer’s masterpiece?
A．By painting casually on his canvas.
B．By accidentally using his fitness app.
C．By occasionally running around the city.
D．By carefully planning and cycling around.
【3】what does the underlined phrase “a surge” probably mean in paragraph 3?
A．A sudden rise.
B．A great success.
C．A sharp reduction.
D．A severe downturn.
【4】What can we learn from this passage?
A．“GPS art” can be only completed on Strava.
B．Strava is in fact an app for people to draw pictures.
C．The art form of “GPS art” is getting known worldwide.
D．Janine Strong created the largest drawing in the world.

24、 With the average American going through more than 700 pounds of paper per year, many firms are looking for ways to discourage their employees from over-using the office printer.
Toshiba America Business Solutions has come up with an alternative idea. It has introduced the e-STUDI04508LP, a printer that gives users the option to print with erasable toner (墨粉) — allowing a single piece of paper to be reused several times.
To reuse a piece of paper, the printer basically uses the same process as a normal printer, but in reverse (反过来), said Bill Melo, chief marketing executive for Toshiba America Business Solutions. Paper printed with the erasable toner is fed back into the printer, superheated, and the toner gets removed and put in a discard tank.
There are a couple of catches. All of the printouts using the erasable toner have to be in blue ink, which is the only color in which erasable toner is now available. And the company said that people may want to stop reusing the printouts after five times through the eraser because small traces of erased text will build up over time.
The $15,420 printer is aimed at offices and schools, where there are often large numbers of printouts that outlive their usefulness quickly. With the erasable toner, it' s possible to load any short-lived handouts back onto the printer to be erased and then reused.
Still, convincing customers to commit to erasable toner isn't always easy. Melo said not all its customers were happy about only having the erasable option.
The model, Melo said, should better serve the needs of those who want to be environmentally conscious but also may need something more permanent on occasion.
【1】What' s special about Toshiba' s printer?
A.It' s low-priced. B.It' s fashionable.
C.It' s lightweight. D.It' s eco-friendly.
【2】What' s the key to making the printer work?
A.A discard tank. B.Light colored ink.
C.Special writing paper. D.A high enough temperature.
【3】What does the underlined word "catches" in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Theories. B.Differences.
C.Problems. D.Characteristics.
【4】How did the public respond to the printer?
A.They asked for more patterns.
B.Some expressed dissatisfaction.
C.They considered it hard to operate.
D.Some worried about its recycling.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
One weekend, Mum and Dad both had to work, which meant that neither of them had time to look after Joe and Bella. But the two kids didn’t mind. They were going to spend the weekend with Gran, and Gran had promised to take them to the beach! But when they woke up on Saturday morning, and looked out of the window, they found the rain was pouring down!
Bella pressed her nose against the glass and said hopefully, “We can still go, can’t we?” But when Gran arrived to collect them, it was still pouring, and Gran said they would just have to spend the day at her house instead.
They tried taking Gran’s dog, Selby, for a walk, but when they opened the door, Selby took one look and ran back inside again! They did some homework, ready for Monday, and when they stopped — it was still raining Eventually, Gran went off to do some housework. Joe decided to do more homework. He had tests coming up at school and Mum and Dad were always on at him to work harder. Joe asked his sister to keep quiet. After a while, though, he heard noises from the kitchen. What was Bella up to? He got up and looked round the door. Bella was mixing something in a huge mixing bowl.
“What’s that?” Joe asked, a little annoyed.
“It’s a lovely cake,” said Bella happily. “But you can’t have any.”
“That’s a relief,”said Joe. “Because it looks terrible. And it smells worse!”
The cake mixture had all kinds of things in it and the smell was like no cake that Joe had ever smelled before!
“It’s not for humans,” said Bella. “It’s for dogs. I’ve made it specially for Selby, because he couldn’t go for his walk.”
“Well, I hope Selby likes it,” Joe said.
But Selby didn’t like it. When Bella put it down on the floor for him to eat, Selby took one smell and then ran out of the room! Bella burst into tears.
