203861. （2024•长安区•高一上期末）     Do you speak a dialect（方言）in daily life？While many Chinese people speak Mandarin，some local dialects are in danger of disappearing.To save them，the Chinese government started the Chinese Language Resources Protection Project a few years ago.
    This project looks at how people talk in 1，712 places.Their languages include 103 dialects that are almost gone.It has helped China to build the largest language resource library in the world.There's an online library where people can learn dialects from over 5.6 million audio clips（音频）and over 5 million videos.
    Why is it important to protect the dialect culture？According to British linguist Harold Palmer，dialects are a key to store local cultures.Language faithfully shows the history，the beliefs and the biases（偏见）of an area，he said.
    Scholar Zhang Hongming talked about his concerns of the disappearing of dialeets， "For about over 10 years，in the Wu dialect areas such as Shanghai and Suzhou，children aged 6 to 15 can understand but hardly speak the dialect.Meanwhile，young people above 15 years old sometimes speak it，but not very well.If this keeps happening，the dialect might disappear，" he said.
    So how did China make this big library？ "A big national effort has been put into the project to make it happen，" said Cao Zhiyun，chief expert on the project.Over five years，more than 350 universities and research groups joined in，along with over 4，500 experts and more than 6，000 dialect speakers.
    The project is now entering into its second part.This includes creating digital tools like apps and mobile dictionaries to help people lean dialects.

203542. （2025•铁一中学•高二上期末）     Released on Aug 30，a three-episode web series titled Escape From the British Museum has gone viral online for its touching and innovative narrative （叙事）.The series follows the journey home of a Chinese jade teapot that has come to life as a girl.She runs away from the British Museum and comes across a Chinese journalist who helps the artifact return to China.The series，created by two Chinese vloggers，aims to raise broader awareness of Chinese artifacts that were stolen or looted （掠夺） from China and are displayed or stored in the British Museum.
    The video series echoes the Chinese people's call for the British Museum to return these Chinese artifacts.However，some UK media outlets said that the video series promotes nationalism （民族主义）.In fact，every country whose artifacts are displayed or stored in the British Museum wants them back.These countries，such as Greece，Nigeria and Sudan，have already issued their demands for the return of artifacts.It's fair enough to say these demands are shared.They can correct centuries-old wrongs by having the UK return artifacts to their rightful homes.
    An opinion in the UK newspaper The Telegraph said that if the British Museum gives back its collection of artifacts，then nationalism will win over humanity's common heritage.It also said that the artifacts were "lawfully acquired （合法取得） " by the UK.By "lawfully acquired"，does the writer mean the artifacts were acquired with the "help" of machine guns and warships？Or does he mean that the cultural artifacts of African，Asian and American countrieould be kept in the hands of looters，rather than in their land of origin？

（1）What is the video series Escape from the British Museum mainly about？
A.Cultural artifacts looted by the UK.
B.Hidden dangers in the British Museum.
C.The arguments about the British museum.
D.The journey of a Chinese artifact coming home.
（2）What does the video series aim to highlight？
A.Protests against UK's nationalism.
B.The beauty of Chinese cultural artifacts.
C.The desire of stolen artifacts to be returned.
D.Efforts made by Chinese activists to get artifacts back.
（3）What's the author's purpose in mentioning countries like Greece，Nigeria and Sudan？
A.To show the UK did something wrong in the past.
B.To stress China's demands are shared by many countries.
C.To emphasize former colonized countries have grown stronger.
D.To highlight diverse artifacts are housed in the British Museum.
（4）What is the author's attitude toward the opinion in The Telegraph？

206054. （2016•七十中•高一下期末） It is believed by experts that a weather pattern called El Nino caused the drought in Australia．EL Nino，referring to the Christ son in Spanish，was first used by people in Peru to show the abnormal weather conditions along the eastern Pacific coast around Christmas．EL Nino causes different weather in different parts of the world．It causes a lot of rain and floods in some places．It causes droughts in other places．Droughts can badly affect people and the land．El Nino lasts about a year．
In normal weather conditions，warm winds from South America blow from east to west across the Pacific Ocean．The winds bring early storms to Australia．These storms bring rain to Australia．
During an El Nino weather pattern the winds change direction．They blow from west to east across the Pacific Ocean．The storms no longer move across Australia．So Australia gets very little rain during El Nino．
The drought began in January，1982．El Nino often occurs at this time of year．But that year，El Nino was stronger than usual．There was very little rainfall in eastern Australia．There was also very little water in the rivers．The drought was at its worst in February，1983．At that time，the weather was very hot．The forests and fields were very dry．Cotton growers couldn't plant their cotton．Sheep farmers had no grass for their animals to eat．So many of them died．Because the forests were dry，forest fires started quickly．Some of the fires burned for a month．Many forests were destroyed．Over 2，000 people lost their houses in the fires and 75 people died．
The Australian drought of 1982-1983 affected thousands of people and animals．The drought cost the country over 3，000，000，000．It was a reminder to Australians of how the weather could change their lives．

205040. （2022•莲湖区•高二下期末） Like many of the arts，music flourished during the Zhou dynasty.From this period we have instruments，models of performers，descriptions of musicians and dancers，and the Shijing，or The Book of Poetry，which contains poems and songs of court and common people during the Zhou dynasty.It is likely that music played an extremely important role in the Zhou dynasty for all social classes.
   One of the most important sources of information the researchers have regarding Zhou-dynasty music is from the tomb of the Marquis Yi of Zeng （433 B.C.E.）.This tomb was uncovered in 1977 in Hubei Province and contained the most extensive and well-preserved set of musical instruments ever found in an ancient Chinese tomb.This four-chamber （室） tomb was designed in imitation of a palace with a central courtyard，reflecting the belief that the Marquis Yi would require the same comforts in the afterlife that he had enjoyed during his lifetime.The central chamber of the tomb，which reflected a palace courtyard，contained most of the musical instruments found，including a complete set of sixty-five graduated bells fixed on wooden shelves.In addition，twenty-one young women were buried with the Marquis Yi，some of whom were likely his favorite musicians and dancers.
   The Marquis Yi's set of sixty-five bells is remarkable for a variety of reasons.First，they are clearly dated—an inscription （碑文） indicates that the bells were a gift given to him in 433 B.C.E. .Second，the bells were very expensive to produce and to purchase，particularly a set of this size，so they are further evidence of the Marquis Yi's status.Finally，the bells，along with the other instruments in the room，illustrate what an instrumental band might have consisted of during this period.Scholars predict that it would have required twenty-four musicians to play all instruments at once.
   There are still many gaps in our knowledge of ancient Chinese music，partly because there was no system for recording music in a written form.

（1）The Book of Poetry is mentioned in Paragraph 1 to        .
A．show the significance of the book
B．show the popularity of music in the Zhou dynasty
C．describe the meaning and the history of the book
D．represent the life of people in the Zhou dynasty
（2）According to the passage，what can we know about the tomb？
A．It contains all kinds of musical instruments.
B．It is designed by the Marquis Yi of Zeng.
C．It reflects the wish of the Marquis Yi for his life after death.
D．It is of the same size as that of the palace.
（3）Why is the set of sixty-five bells extraordinary？
A．Because it might prove the Marquis Yi's position.
B．Because it was difficult to buy at that time.
C．Because it once was an expensive gift.
D．Because it needs 24 performers to play at the same time.
（4）In which column of the newspaper can we read the text？
A．Health.
B．Business.
C．Sports.
D．Art.

205426. （2020•西安中学•高二下期末） Recently there was a major discovery in the scientific research-the mapping of all DNA in a human gene is complete．Several years ago，it seems an impossible task for scientist to accomplish．All this progress in science leads us to believe that the day when human being will be cloned is not far away．Human cloning has always been a topic of argument in terms of morality （道德） or religion．
   Taking a look at why cloning might be beneficial，among many cases，it is arguable that parents who are known to be at risk of passing a genetic limitation to a child could make use of cloning．Moreover，cloning would enable women who can't get pregnant to have children of their own．
   Cloning humans would also mean that organs could be cloned，so it would be a source of perfect transfer organs．This surely would be greatly beneficial to millions of unfortunate people around the world who are expected to lose their lives due to organ problems．It is also arguable that a ban on cloning may be unlawful and would rob people of the right to reproduce and limit the freedom of scientists．
   However，arguments against cloning are also on a perfectly practical side．Primarily，I believe that cloning would step in the normal "cycle" of life．There would be a large number of same genes，which reduce the chances of evolution，since it may be difficult for living creatures to naturally adapt to the ever-changing environment，which will result in ultimate disappearance．Furthermore，cloning would make the uniqueness that each one of us possesses disappear．Thus，leading to creation of genetically engineered groups of people for specific purposes and，chances are that those individuals would be regarded as "objects" rather than people in the society．
   Scientists couldn't surely guarantee that the first cloned humans will be normal．Thus this could result in introduction of additional limitations in the human "gene-pool"．
   Regarding such arguable topics in "black or white" approach seems very innocent．We should try to look at all "shades" of it．I believe that cloning is only legal if its purpose is for cloning organs；not humans．Then we could regard this as for "saving life" instead of "creating life"．It is believed that cloning humans is morally and socially unacceptable．

（1）What's the author's opinion on cloning？
A．Cloning should be entirely banned．
B．Cloning should be used in creating life．
C．Cloning will take away the right to reproduce．
D．Cloning is acceptable if it is used for cloning organs．
（2）Which of the following shows the structure of the passage？
A． $德优题库$ B． $德优题库$
C． $德优题库$ D． $德优题库$
（3）Where is the text probably from？
A．A story book．
B．A magazine．
C．A science fiction．
D．A novel．

205453. （2020•西安中学•高二上期末） A recent documentary produced by the British Broadcasting Corporation （BBC） has caused a stir in China and in the UK．
   The documentary，titled Are Our Kids Tough Enough？focuses on five Chinese teachers who are sent to teach 50 UK teens at a school in Hampshire．
   The teachers instruct the students for a month．The pupils are then tested，and the results are compared to the ones of those who have continued in the regular UK education system．The idea is to see if the Chinese method improves academic performance．
   The Chinese teachers use their own teaching methods but receive strong resistance from the students．A clip from the documentary online shows some problems，with Chinese teachers calling their students lazy and lacking in discipline，while the students say the high pressure and harsh teachers are driving them crazy．
   This has aroused a new debate in both China and the UK，with some arguing the teenagers need more regulation and discipline．Others say Chinese methods encourage rote learning（死记硬背） instead of independent thinking．For instance，Chinese language teacherould do more than pass on knowledge about words and characters．They should inspire students，helping them feel the sentiment from Chinese literature．This is a higher level of teaching．
  Yang Dongping，dean of the 21st Century Education Research Institute，says， "The Chinese teaching methods are designed to strictly train the majority．Foreign teaching methods，however，are more natural and relaxing，and designed to inspire students' interest in learning．Education methods are based on culture．That is why a successful education method in one place may not work that well when simply 'transplanted' into another place．"
   Yang Dongping says， "The documentary does reflect some problems rooted in traditional Chinese teaching methods．Nobel prize winner，Yang Zhenning，gave a very fair comment on this issue．He said the Chinese-style education method works for most ordinary qualified students effectively，helping them reach high standards．However，it may weaken the training for high-potential outstanding students．"

（1）Why are five Chinese teachers sent to teach 50 UK teens？
A．To test the intelligence of the UK teens．
B．To help the school improve their teaching efficiency．
C．To do some practical research into the UK education system．
D．To test the effectiveness of Chinese teaching methods．
（2）What's the meaning of the underlined word "harsh" in the fourth paragraph？
A．Extremely strict
B．Quite friendly
C．Rather cold
D．Very attractive
（3）According to Yang Dongping，Chinese teaching methods        ．

205508. （2020•莲湖区•高二下期末） Denmark is only about half the size of South Carolina，but it produces more of its electricity from wind than any other country in the world．Denmark now gets 47% of its electricity from wind，and there will be more to come，thanks to a combination of history and policy．
   Paul la Cour was a scientist and inventor who experimented with early wind power machines at the start of the 20th century．So it's not surprising that Denmark invested in building wind power the earliest．Since the 1970s，Denmark has been investing in wind energy all over the country．In the 1980s，due to a strong movement opposing nuclear power plants，Denmark increased its production of clean energy even before many other countries considered it．
   Even back in 2002，Denmark took climate change warnings seriously．They drew up policies，aiming to cut fossil-fuel emissions by 20%，which they did via renewable energy investment．Some of the world's largest companies in the field-including Vestas，which builds turbines（涡轮机），and Orsted，which specializes in offshore wind projects-are Danish，so the country has an impact beyond its borders．
   The huge impact of Denmark's wind industry is important．But Denmark is a small country，so while almost 50% of its electricity from wind is admirable，it's also minor in terms of entire global impact．
   While Denmark gets half its electricity from 5，758 megawatts （MW） of capacity，Spain's 23，000 MW covers just 18 percent of its electricity supply as it's a much bigger country．China is the leader in wind energy at 221，000 MW，and the U．S．is the second in the world at about 96，000 MW．
   At the end of 2019，lawmakers in Denmark set a new goal：increasing the share of electricity coming from renewable power to 100%．

（1）What can we know about Denmark？
A．It is a leader in solar energy．
B．It is a pioneer in clean energy．
C．It is a victim of climate change．
D．It is an advocate of nuclear energy．
（2）What is Denmark government's attitude towards fossil-fuel energy projects？

205697. （2018•西安中学•高二下期末） A small insect is getting a lot of attention in the United States．The rusty patched bumblebee （大黄蜂） is the first of its species to be declared endangered in the lower 48 states-meaning every state except Alaska and Hawaii．The rusty patched bumblebee is named for a rust-colored line on its back．
   The U．S．Fish and Wildlife Service announced this month it was adding the bee to its endangered species list．The insects are "on the brink of extinction， " according to the service．It said the bees were once found in 28 states．But there now are only small populations remaining in 13 states．The government agency will make a plan to help the dying bees recover．The agency said that such a plan might help other insects，like butterflies．
   U．S．officials think land owners can take small steps to help the rusty patched bumblebee．They say land owners can be friendlier towards bees by using native plants in their gardens．The insects directly fertilize many kinds of fruit and vegetable crops．And they fertilize grain crops used to feed cattle and milk cows．It costs billions of dollars to duplicate the job the bees do for free．Land owners are also being urged to cut back on their use of pesticide products．The officials also suggest that gardeners leave their plants alone at the end of the summer instead of cutting them．That way，the bees will have a place to live over the winter．

205841. （2017•西安中学•高二上期末） Ireland has had a very difficult history．The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer （征服） Ireland．For hundreds of years，the Irish people fought against the English．Finally，in 1921，the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland．The result is that today there are two"Irelands"．Northern Ireland，in the north，is part of the United Kingdom．The Republic of Ireland，in the south，is an independent country．
   In the 1840s the main crop，potatoes，was affected by disease and about 750，000 people died of hunger．This，and a shortage （短缺） of work，forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA，the UK，Australia and Canada．As a result of these problems，the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851．

205842. （2017•西安中学•高二上期末） WASHINGTON：NASA has announced evidence that Jupiter's largest moon，Ganymede，has a saltwater ocean under its icy surface．The ocean seems to have more water than all the water on Earth's surface，according to new Hubble observation．
   New Hubble observations of Ganymede's magnetic field strongly suggest that the moon，which is the largest in our whole solar system，is home to a subsurface ocean．
   Scientists estimate the ocean is 95 kilometres thick，which is about 10 times deeper than Earth's oceans．But unlike our salty waters，Ganymede's ocean is buried under 150 kilometres of ice．
   While scientists have speculated （推测） since 1970s about the presence of an ocean on Ganymede - the largest moon in our solar system - until now the only observational evidence came from a brief flyby by the Galileo spacecraft，which didn't observe the moon long enough to confirm a liquid ocean．
   This discovery marks an important milestone，highlighting what only Hubble can accomplish．In its 25 years in orbit，Hubble has made many scientific discoveries in our own solar system．A deep ocean under the icy surface of Ganymede opens up further exciting possibilities for life beyond Earth．
    Scientists have already confirmed the existence of an ocean on Europa，another moon orbiting Jupiter，and NASA has announced plans to send an unmanned mission there searching for the life that might come with liquid water．
   Hubble is a telescope that orbits Earth，but because of its impressive gravitational analyses it can be used to study the inside of far distant planets．Using these same principles，scientists could theoretically detect oceans on distant planets as well．

（1）What can we learn about the Ganymede from the passage？
A．It is a planet with the largest moon in our whole solar system．
B．Its ocean adds to people's excitement about life beyond Earth．
C．It will be used by NASA as a base for the Hubble telescope．
D．Its liquid ocean was first proved by the Galileo spacecraft．
（2）Which of the following best describes the writer's attitude towards Hubble？
A．Cautious
B．Doubtful
C．Negative
D．Favourable
（3）What does the underlined part in Paragraph 6 mean？
A．An underground ocean has been found in Europa．
B．The presence of an underground ocean in Europa is not possible．
C．It is now certain that there is an ocean on Europa．
D．No evidence haown the existence of an ocean on Europa．
（4）What type of writing does this passage belong to？
A．A term essay
B．A news report

205920. （2016•西北大附中•高一下期末） Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys？ The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences．To the Egyptians，green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring，while for Muslims，it means heaven．Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures．In China，children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year．For many nations，blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs．Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils．
   People's choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies' reactions toward them．Green is said to be the most restful color．It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically．People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomach aches．
   Red can cause a person's blood pressure to rise and increase people's appetites（食欲）．Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant．Similarly，many commercial websites will have a red"Buy Now"button because red is a color that easily catches a person's eye．

205961. （2016•西安一中•高一下期末） LONDON（Reuters）--Organic fruit，delivered right to the doorstep．That is what Gabriel Gold prefers，and he is willing to pay for it．If this is not possible，the 26-year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food．
"Organic produce is always better，"--Gold said．"The food is free of pesticides（农药），and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms．And more often than not it is locally（本地）grown and seasonal，so it is more tasty．"Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend，and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business．But how many shoppers really know what they are getting，and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic produce？Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences-but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete．For example，small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products．And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported（进口）to meet growing demand．"The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year，so it is a very fast-growing market，"said Sue Flock，a specialist in this line of business．

205962. （2016•西安一中•高一下期末） Easter（复活节） is still a great day for worship，randy in baskets and running around the yard finding eggs，but every year it gets quite a bit worse for bunnies．
And no，not because the kids like to pull their ears．The culprit is climate change，and some researchers found that rising temperatures are having harmful effects on at least five species of rabbit in the US．
Take the Lower Keys March rabbit，for instance．An endangered species that lives in the Lower Florida Keys，this species of cottontail is a great swimmer-it lives on the islands!-but it is already severely affected by development and now by rising levels．According to the Center for Biological Diversity，an ocean level rise of only 0.6 meters will send these guys jumping to higher ground and a 0.9-meter rise would wipe out their habitat （栖息地） completely．
The snowshoe hare，on the other hand，has a color issue．Most of these rabbits change their fur color from white in the wintertime to brown in the summer，each designed to give them better cover from predators（捕食者）．As the number of days with snow decreases all across the country，however，more and more bunnies are being left in white fur during brown dirt days of both fall and spring，making them an easier mark for predators．Researchers know that the color change is controlled by the number of hours of sunlight，but whether the rabbit will be able to adapt quick enough to survive is a big question．The National Wildlife Federation has reported that hunters have noticed their numbers are already markedly down．
American pikas or rock rabbits，a relative of rabbits and hares，might be the firs' of these species to go extinct due to climate change．About 7-8 inches long，pikas live high in the cool，damp mountains west of the Rocky Mountains．As global temperatures rise，they would naturally migrate （迁徙） to higher ground-but they already occupy the mountaintops．They can't go any higher．The National Wildlife Federation reports that they might not be able to stand the new temperatures as their habitat beats up．
The volcano rabbit has the same problem．These rabbits live on the slopes of volcanoes in Mexico，and recent studies have shown that the lower range of their habitat has already shifted upward about 700 meters，but there are not suitable plants for them to move higher，so they are stuck in the middle．Scientists are concerned about their populations．
Native to the US，pygmy rabbits weigh less than 1 pound and live in the American West．They are believed to be the smallest rabbits in the world．Their habitats have been destroyed by development．Several populations，such as the Columbia Basin pygmy，almost went extinct and were saved by zoo breeding programs．Pygmy rabbits also rely on winter cover by digging tunnels through the snow to escape predators，but lesser snowfall is leaving them exposed．
All of this gives new meaning to dressing up in a giant bunny costume this Easter．
（1）The writer mentions Easter at the beginning of the passage in order to        ．
A．show the importance of Easter Day
B．remind people of Easter traditions
C．introduce the issue about bunnies
D．discuss the relationship between Easter and bunnies
（2）The word"culprit"（ Paragraph 2）is closest in meaning to        ．
A．producer
B．judge
C．victim
D．criminal
（3）Which best describes the writer's tone in the postage？
A．Concerned．
B．Approving．
C．Enthusiastic．
D．Doubtful．

203285. （2016•华清中学•二模） Last year more than one million Filipinos worked abroad as servants，nurses，sailors and in other difficult but low-paid jobs．Southeast Asians leave their poorer countries for their richer neighbours．
Many of these wage-earners return in the end．In the meantime，they send home huge amounts of money-in the Philippines' case，over 10% of its GDP．Between January and November，the amount was up 18% on the same period of 2005．Poverty and unemployment are still high in the Philippines and other labour-exporting （劳务输出） countries．They would be far worse but for this outflow of bodies and inflow of dollars．As for those Asian countries that import （输入） labour，as in Europe，falling birth rates mean they are going to need more foreign workers．
On January 13^th leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations （ASEAN） signed an agreement to help migrant （流动的） workers-with the realization that the flow of labour between their countries is a growing problem that they cannot blame on outsiders．A 2005 study showed that 8.4 million Southeast Asians worked outside their home countries，but this did not include the huge numbers of Indonesians doing so without papers．So the true total is probably rather higher．
Of the ten ASEAN countries，the Philipines，Indonesia，Myanmar，Cambodia，Vietnam and Laos export labour，Singapore and Brunei import it，and Thailand and Malaysia do both．Sziraczki of the UN's International Labour Organization points out that，in the next ten years，the total labour force of the worker-exporting countrieould grow by about a third．It makes sense to work on the problem before it gets out of control．
People in the receiving countries seem to be worried about competition for their jobs．Most Thais said their government should admit no more foreign workers，and a few thought otherwise．Even in Singapore，just over half of people are against admitting more foreign workers．Malaysians think that the increase in foreign workers has worsened crime rates （犯罪率）．
（1）It can be inferred from the case of the Philippines that        ．
A．the country is Asia's main source of migrant workers
B．labour exports lead to a 10% growth of its GDP
C．the outflow of labour helps solve its social problems
D．the country both exports and imports labour force
（2）The flow of labour is a growing problem because        ．
A．there is a greater flow of labour than reported
B．more Indonesians work abroad without papers
C．some countries suffer from low birth rates
D．the ASEAN is against admitting foreign workers
（3）For the labour-importing countries，the flow of labour may lead to        ．
A．higher birth rates
B．lower crime rates
C．greater money inflows
D．stronger job competition
（4）The writer of the text seems to        ．
A．support the flow of labour between countries
B．report fairly on the question of labour flow
C．express his worries over the ASEAN's decision
D．regard the outflow of labour as a serious problem．

203283. （2016•华清中学•二模） When former American President Bill Clinton traveled to South Korea to visit President Kim Young Sam，he repeatedly referred to the Korean president's wife as Mrs．Kim．By mistake，President Clinton's advisers thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese．Clinton had not been told that，in Korea，wives keep their family names．President Kim Young Sam's wife was named Sohn Myong Suk．Therefore，she should be addressed （称谓） as Mrs．Sohn．
President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture thinking patterns．His failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan．
In addition to Koreans，some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names．This practice often puzzles English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil's parents．They become puzzled about the student's correct last name．Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian cultures．
Mexican naming customs are different as well．When a woman marries，she keeps her family name and adds her husband's name after the word de （of）．This affects how they fill in forms in the United States．When requested to fill in a middle name，they generally write the father's family name．But Mexicans are addressed by the family name of the mother．This often causes puzzlement．
Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations：don't always think that a married woman uses her husband's last name．Remember that in many Asian cultures，the order of first and last names is reversed （颠倒）．Ask which name a person would prefer to use．If the name is difficult to pronounce，admit it，and ask the person to help you say it correctly．
（1）The story of Bill Clinton is used to        ．
A．improve US-Korean relations
B．introduce the topic of the text
C．describe his visit to Korea
D．tell us how to address a person
（2）When a woman marries in Korea，she        ．
A．continues to use her family name
B．uses her husband's given name
C．shares her husband's family name
D．adds her husband's given name to hers
（3）To address a married woman properly，you'd better        ．
A．use her middle name
B．use her husband's first name
C．ask her which name she likes
D．change the order of her names．
