【正文】 does the underlined word nurtured in the last paragraph mean? ....（3）Which column can we probably find the text? ....【答案】 （1）C（2）A（3）B 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇說明文，介紹了四個世界上最受喜愛的藝術(shù)和文化城市。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù) Rome, Italy部分中的“No wonder it39。s known as the Eternal City: You could spend forever here and find new artistic and cultural treasures every day.”可知難怪它被稱為永恒之城：你可以永遠(yuǎn)在這里度過，每天都能發(fā)現(xiàn)新的藝術(shù)和文化寶藏。由此可知羅馬被視為永恒之城是因為人們可以很容易地找到新的藝術(shù)和文化。故選C。 （2）考查詞義猜測。根據(jù)Vienna, Austria部分中的“As we all know, Western music would be unrecognizable without Austria39。s capital”可知，如果沒有奧地利的首都，西方的音樂將是不可識別的，因此推斷畫線句句意：奧地利誕生了許多著名的音樂家。由此可知劃線單詞意思為“產(chǎn)生，誕生”，故選A。 （3）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第一段中的“In our annual Readers39。 Choice Awards survey, we asked our readers to rate their favorite cities in the world for arts and culture.”可知在一年一度的讀者選擇獎?wù){(diào)查中，我們要求讀者對世界上最喜愛的藝術(shù)和文化城市進行排名。以及文章內(nèi)容主要介紹了四個藝術(shù)和文化城市，由此可推知文章能夠在“藝術(shù)”一欄找到。故選B。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解，詞義猜測和推理判斷三個題型的考查，是一篇文化類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文的邏輯關(guān)系，進行分析，推理，從而選出正確答案。8．閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。 A name is more than just a word. It carries the weight of a person39。s whole identity. A name can represent a person39。s ethnicity (種族身份) and culture, or show respect for their ancestral roots. A selfgiven name may represent a person39。s beliefs or chosen identity. Everyone has the right to have their name pronounced correctly. It is a sign of respect for a person39。s individuality. A person39。s name is to him or her the sweetest and most important sound in any language, Dale Carnegie writes in his book How to Win Friends and Influence People. Behind each name is a story, and when a name is anglicized (英語化), mispronounced, or ignored, that story is dismissed. A name mispronounced for a long time can negatively impact a person39。s attitude toward their own identity. It can create feelings of shame or embarrassment because they are made to feel like a burden. In the long term, this might cause someone to distance themselves from their roots. They may begin shying away from their native language, culture, and family for the sake of fitting in. In order to avoid this, many international students living in the . choose English names. People shouldn39。t have to ignore their identities for the sake of someone else39。s convenience. Everyone makes mistakes, and not everyone can get a name right on the first try. Mispronouncing a name repeatedly, however, shows a lack of effort. It is not okay to be fortable with mispronouncing names, and being unfamiliar with a language is no excuse. If you39。re unsure whether you39。re pronouncing a name correctly, just ask. Think of it as a way to expand and strengthen understanding, both personally and culturally. When meeting someone for the first time, make sure that you heard the name correctly. It doesn39。t take a lot to simply repeat the name back. Spell it out. Write it down. Do whatever you have to do to get the name right. Making the effort to correctly pronounce someone39。s name is an essential part of cultural petency (文化素養(yǎng)). Without this, we cannot expect to show respect and tolerance for our diverse munity.（1）What may a person39。s name tell us?
