    　　The way Westerners communicate tends to(倾向于)be relatively explicit(直率的)and direct．In other words, Westerners tend to put most of their ideas and feelings into words, and then state these ideas and feelings clearly and openly．It is generally considered a good thing to “get to the point ”and “say what you mean,” and it is largely the speaker's responsibility to ensure that his/her message is stated in a way that is clear and easy to understand．

    　　In contrast(比照), Chinese people tend to communicate in a way that is more indirect and subtle．They often view direct, explicit communication as unsophisticated(不成熟的)or even rude．They are more likely to preserve good feelings and relationships by not saying something that might upset or offend(冒犯)another person．If a Westerner makes a request and a Chinese person responds by saying something like “I'll think it over”, the Westerner may assume that there is a good chance that the answer will be “yes”．In fact, there is a better chance that the implied answer is “no”．

    　　One interesting example of the Western preference for very direct communication can be seen in what Western students are taught about how they should organize their writing．Writers are generally expected to state their point as clearly as possible, generally right at the beginning．Students are taught to begin paragraphs with a “topic sentence” that states the point of the paragraph．Also, articles should generally begin with a brief statement of the points to be made –and also conclude with a review of those same points．In contrast, in Chinese writing it is more acceptable to build up to the point rather announcing it right form the start, although it is also acceptable to state the point up front．

    　　It is important to note that Westerners are not all equally direct in their communication styles．For example, the direct communication style is more typical of Western men than of Western women．Furthermore, even in Western culture it is generally not considered good to communicate so directly that you hurt other people's feelings, offend them, or create conflict．

    (1)

    What is the subject of the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    Communication styles

    B．

    Features of Western culture

    C．

    Communication skills

    D．

    Politeness in communication

    (2)

    When communicating with others, Western people _______．

    [　　]

    A．

    pay more attention to others' feelings

    B．

    prefer to express their ideas openly

    C．

    often communicate in an indirect way

    D．

    consider direct communication as rude

    (3)

    When writing an article, Westerners _______．

    [　　]

    A．

    generally state their point in the middle

    B．

    tend to let readers guess their point

    C．

    usually announce their point from the start

    D．

    like ending each paragraph with a topic sentence

    (4)

    According to the author, which of the following are more likely to communicate directly?

    [　　]

    A．

    Western men

    B．

    Western women

    C．

    Chinese women

    阅读下面的短文，然后从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

    　　Recently there was a major discovery in the scientific research－the mapping of all DNA in a human gene(基因)is complete．Couple of years ago, this seems an impossible task for scientist to accomplish．All this progress in science leads us to believe that the day, when the human being will be cloned, is not far away．Human cloning has always been a topic of argument，in terms of morality 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．If the clone was free of genetic limitations．Then the other clone would be as well．The latter could foe inserted in the woman and allowed to ripen to term．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 that are expected to lose their lives due to failure of single(or more)organ(s)．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．

    　　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 improvement，and, in turn, development－the fundamental reason how living things naturally adapt to the ever－changing environment．Life processes failing to do so might result in untimely disappearance．Furthermore, cloning would make the uniqueness that each one of us possesses disappea．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 haven't 100 percent．guaranteed that the first cloned 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 to me personally．We should rather 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” ．I believe cloning humans is morally and socially unacceptable．

    (1)

    Which of the following is true according to the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    Genetic limitation will be beneficial for some women

    B．

    A large number of genes will prevent us from developing

    C．

    Prohibition of cloning might limit the freedom of scientists

    D．

    First cloned humans might be normal according to scientists

    (2)

    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

    (3)

    Where can you read this article?

    [　　]

    A．

    In a story book．

    B．

    In a magazine．

    C．

    In a science fiction

    D．

    In a brochure
