Culture is the sum total of all the
traditions, customs, beliefs, and ways of life of a given group of human beings.
In this sense, every group has a culture, however savage, undeveloped, or
uncivilized it may seem to us. To the professional
anthropologist, there is no intrinsic superiority of one culture over another,
just as to the professional linguist there is no intrinsic hierarchy among
languages. People once thought of the languages of backward
groups as savage, undeveloped forms of speech, consisting largely of grunts and
groans. While it is possible that language in general began as a series of
grunts and groans, it is a fact established by the study of "backward" languages
that no spoken tongue answers that description today. Most languages of
uncivilized groups are, by our most severe A. definition of culture B. feeling about human beings C. bias in regard to civilized humans D. philosophy

[单项选择] {{B}}TEXT B{{/B}} Material culture refers to
the touchable, material "things"—physical objects that can be seen, held, fell,
used — that a culture produces. Examining a culture’s tools and technology can
tell us about the group’s history and way of life. Similarly, research into the
material culture of music: can help us to understand the music culture. The most
vivid body of "things" in it, of course, are musical instruments. We cannot bear
for ourselves the actual sound of any musical performance before the 1870s when
phonograph was invented, so we rely on instruments for important information
about music-cultures in the remote past and their develop ment. Here we have two
kinds of evidence: instruments well preserved and instruments pictured in art.
Through the study of instruments, as well as paintings, written documents,
and so on, we can explore the movement of music from the Near East to
China over a thousand years ago, or A. it helps produce new cultural tools and technology B. it can reflect the development of the nation C. it helps understand the nation’s past and present D. it can demonstrate the nations civilization

Culture is often defined as a set of
shared principles and values. Yet as the world approaches greater and greater
degrees of globalization, global subcultures begin to emerge. The movement is
one such sub-category, characterized by a specific type of music, with its own
fashion and language. Britain used to be a society where the
so-called culture norms dictated one’s entire future, one in which people were
categorized according to their perceived status at birth. Yet by the 1980s all
that had changed. It changed so radically that a whole generation of youth were
left stranded in a quagmire of confusion and despair, each struggling to
re-define their role within society, and to make sense of a culture that seemed
unforgiving at times, culturally inherited ideas, beliefs and values having
being turned A. men and women had different jobs B. people had jobs for life C. people’s values changed D. people received a good education
[单项选择] {{B}}TEXT D{{/B}} Our culture has caused
most Americans to assume not only that our language is universal but that the
gestures we use are understood by everyone. We do not realize that waving
good-bye is the way to summon a person from the Philippines to one’s 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 cur troops
occupying Germany after World War Ⅱ 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
arm’s length away from others. Latins and Middle Easterners like to come closer
and touch, which makes A mericans uncomfortable. Our linguistic
(语言上的) and cultural blindness and the casualness with which we take notice of
the developed tastes, gestures, customs and languag A. are isolated by the local people B. are not well informed due to the language barrier C. tend to get along well with the natives D. need interpreters in hotels and restaurants
