Question

【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Different Cultures

The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. 【1】

The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers-the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India. 【2】

When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain-the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. 【3】 Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over, the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't distinguish from the European culture a lot。

【4】 Take the language system for example. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system Other causes like human race difference counts as well. But what's more. due to the far distance and the steep .areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no-interference（干扰） from the other.

The differences are everywhere. 【5】 But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle (障碍) to the civilization of human being. It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.

A. Let us work together to keep a variety of culture.

B. One important thing is to learn about other cultures.

C. And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture.

D. At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences.

E. This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.

F. They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.

G. They are obvious and affect people's ways of thinking and their views of the world.

【3】C

【4】D

【5】G

【解析】

试题分析：

【1】这是因为在整体上文化系统是两个不同的系统。前面一句话The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot.说：东西方的文化是彼此不同的。后面说明文化不同的原因。故选E。

【2】他们帮助两种文化发展了几个世纪，形成他们不同的风格。前面两句Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers-the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India.是说：两种文化被中国的黄河和印度的印度河所孕育。可知这里是写两条河流对于文化的作用。故选F。

【3】这两条河以欧洲文化的基础而闻名。由前面一句This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.是说：这种闻名之后发展成古希腊文明和古罗马文明两种。而这里是说这两天河对于欧洲文化的地位和重要性。故选C。

【4】同时，其他方面的不同增加了文化的不同。由后面一句Take the language system for example是说：以文化系统来举例。可知这一自然段主要是讲其他方面的不同来说明文化的不同。故选D。

【5】这是很明显的，而且它们影响人们思考方式和对世界的观念。前面一句The differences are everywhere意思是：区别到处都是。可知后面讲述的是文化不同对于社会的影响。故选G。
