高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

In a society such as the United States or Canada, which has many national, religious and cultural differences, people highly value individualism—the differences among people. Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students do not memorize all possible basic knowledge. Instead, they work individually and find answers by themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.

In most Asia societies, by contrast, the people have the same language, history and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the orient reflects society's belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments.

There are advantages and disadvantages of both systems of education. For example, one advantage of the system in Japan is that students there learn much more about maths, physics, biology and chemistry than American students by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized.

The advantage of the educational system in North America, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from school, they haven't memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have.

1.The writer's purpose of writing this passage is________.

A. to share his idea with others in a new way

B. to introduce two different systems of education through contrast

C. to criticize the society that values memorization

D. to prepare students for society

2.Which is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The system of education in the West is more creative than that in the East.

B. Japanese students learn much more about science than American students.

C. Canadian students are more individual than Korean students.

D. Students in North America are not as friendly as those in Asia.

3.From the facts, we can infer that________.

A. Asian students are more likely to do better in teamwork than American students

B. Chinese students are more hard-working in their studies than Mexican students

C. the Western educational system is much better than the Eastern educational system

D. the Eastern educational system is as difficult as the Western educational system

4.What is the best title of the passage?

A. Advantages and disadvantages of educational system

B. The value of individualism

C. Educational system—an obvious difference between the East and the West

D. Memorization—an important learning method

The English, as a race, are very different in many ways from all other nationalities, including their closest neighbors, the French, the Belgians and the Dutch. It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons are, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed many attitudes and habits which distinguish him from other nationalities.

Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he knows well. In the presence of strangers or foreigners he often seems restrained, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a city train any morning or evening to see the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or having a light sleep in a corner, and no one speaks. In fact, to do so would seem most unusual. An Englishman, pretending to be giving advice to overseas visitors, once suggested, “On entering a railway carriage, shake hands with all the passengers.” Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which, if broken, makes the person immediately suspected.

In many parts of the world it is quite normal to show openly extremes of enthusiasm, emotion, excitement, etc, often accompanied by appropriate gesture. The Englishman is somewhat different. Of course, an Englishman feels no less deeply than anyone of a different nationality, but he tends to display his feelings far less. This is reflected in his use of language. Imagine a man commenting on the great beauty of a young girl. A more emotional man might describe her state “Oh, she is a goddess”, whereas an Englishman might just say “Oh, she’s all right.” An Englishman who has seen a highly successful and enjoyable film recommends it to a friend by commenting, “It’s not bad you know”, or on seeing some very unusual scenery he might convey (表达) his pleasure by saying, “Nice, yes, very nice.” The overseas visitor must not be disappointed by this apparent lack of interest and involvement. Instead, he must realize that “all right,” “not bad,” and “nice,” very often have the sense of “first-class,” “excellent,” “beautiful”. This unique style of language use is particularly common in England, and is known as restrained statement.

1.According to the passage, the English are different from other nationalities in _______.

A. habits           B. attitudes          C. character          D. all of the above

2.The underlined word “restrained” in the second paragraph probably means “_______”.

A. calm and controlled   B. polite and friendly

C. nervous and quiet   D. silent and kind

3.In Britain, if you don’t want other people to think you are strange, you’d better _______.

A. talk with others as much as possible

B. behave just like the English do

C. say nothing about yourself

D. shake hands with everyone you meet

4.If an Englishman says “all right”, it may mean “_______”.

A. not bad              B. correct          C. quite right          D. wonderful

5.From the passage, we can infer that an Englishman _______.

A. doesn’t like to show his feelings so much

B. has less emotion than people of other nationalities

C. finds it easy to express his emotion

D. likes to have a joke with strangers
