Of the four choices — shared values, language, history, and religion, it’s shared values. In our latest poll (民意调査), seven out of 16 countries chose values as the greatest factor (因素)bringing a nation together, and six preferred language. Both choices scored high in the poll, suggesting that our values and how we express them are closely linked .Still, history was not forgotten in some countries, particularly in Mexico and Russia. Even Canada and the United States chose national histories as the second-most important factor uniting their people. The biggest surprise? Not one country picked religion as its top choice. Respect your elders In most countries, the oldest generation considered values more important to a nation than did those who are under 45 years old. Do you speak Canadian? Language scored lower in Canada than in all other countries polled, perhaps because the country speaks two official languages, French and English. Church and state Most people polled do not connect their religious beliefs to their national pride. Religion ranked last in 13 countries — with France scoring it at 1%, the lowest of all. 21.According to the poll, what was the most important factor in bringing a nation together? A. Language.        B. Values.        C. History.         D. Religion. 22.In which country did language score the lowest in their national pride?    A. Canada.          B. Mexico.        C. France.          D. America. 23.According to the charts, shared values and language were considered equally important in         .   A. Australia       B. Brazil          C. China             D. India 【答案】 24.B 25.A 26.D 【解析】是什么让一个国家凝聚在一起?文章正是做了这样的一个调查。 27.B 细节题。根据文章2,3行In our latest poll (民意调査), seven out of 16 countries chose values as the greatest factor (因素)bringing a nation together可知B正确。 28.A 细节题。根据图标Do you speak Canadian?部分Language scored lower in Canada than in all other countries polled可知B正确。 29.D 细节题。根据文章开头的表格的前两部分可知India在shared values and language都位列最后,处于同样的位置,故D正确。
