Question

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

As we all know, different countries have 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 fostered by rivers—the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India.     2.

Then in Tang Dynasty of China, the Chinese culture gradually went overseas to Japan, mixed into the Japanese society and shaped the Japanese culture nowadays. Though a bit different from the Chinese one, it belongs to the same system.

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

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

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

E. They are obvious and affect people’s ways of thinking and their views of the world.

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

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

4. 以语言系统为例”，表明下面的内容是举例的，再根据这一句话“Other causes like human race difference counts as well”可以知道，其中的关键词是difference，所以答案选F At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences.同时，一些其他差异增加了文化差异。

【名师点睛】

新题型七选五题型的答题方法可简要概括为“把握两关”，一是把握上下文中的关键词，二是把握上下文中的逻辑关系。对关键词，上下文一定有明示或暗示。逻辑关系指的是上下文的转折关系、因果关系、并列关系、总分关系、分总关系等。

比如75题是把握上下文中的逻辑关系，前后两句构成因果关系。根据上一句话的句意“The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot.东西方的文化在很多方面都是不同的”，这是因为是两个不同的文化系统。所以答案选G。

考点：考查对文章的整体理解和上下文逻辑关系的把握
