37、 10 questions. For each question, there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.Question 51-55 are based on the following passage.Our culture has caused most Americans to assume not only that our language is universal but that the gestures we use are understood by

38、 everyone. We do not realize that waving good-bye is the way to summon a person from the Philippines to ones side, or that in Italy and some Latin-American countries, curling the finger to oneself is a sign of farewell. Those private citizens who sent packages to our troops occupying Germany after W

39、orld War and marked them GIFT to escape duty payments did not bother to find out that “gift“ means poison in German. Moreover, we like to think of ourselves as friendly, yet we prefer to be at least 3 feet or an arms length away from others. Latins and Middle Easterners like to come closer and touch

40、, which makes Americans uncomfortable.Our linguistic and cultural blindness and the casualness with which we take notice of the developed tastes, gestures, customs and languages of other countries, are losing us friends, business and respect in the world.Even here in the United States, we make few c

41、oncessions to the needs of foreign visitors. There are no information signs in four languages on our public buildings or monuments; we do not have multilingual guided tour. Very few restaurant menus have translations, and multilingual waiters, bank clerks and policemen are rare. Our transportation s

42、ystems have maps in English only and often we ourselves have difficulty understanding them.When we go abroad, we tend to cluster in hotels and restaurants where English is spoken. The attitudes and information we pick up are conditioned by those natives-usually the richer-who speak English. Our busi

43、ness dealings, as well as the nations diplomacy, are conducted through interpreters.For many years, America and Americans could get by with cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance. After all, American was the most powerful country of the free world, the distributor of needed funds and goods.But

44、all that is past. American dollars no longer buy all good things, and we are slowly beginning to realize that our proper role in the world is changing. A 1979 Harris poll reported that 55 percent of Americans want this country to play a more significant role in world affairs; we want to have a hand

45、in the important decisions of the next century, even though it may not always be the upper land.（分数：5.00）(1).It can be inferred that Americans being approached too closely by Middle Easterners would most probably _. A. stand still B. jump aside C. step forward D. draw back（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The au
