课时提能练（二十三）必修 4Unit 12Culture Shock （A）【.阅读理解A（2021 合肥市第二次教学质量检测）People often talk about cultural differences between western and eastern countries, but how about the western world itself? Surprisingly, a closer look at it can reveal a good many curious details.The most obvious characteristic of the majority of Americans is that they smile a lot.It does not matter whether they have a strong reason to smile； they do it, sometimes simply because they have to. A smile is not just a powerful marketing tool but also a way to show that someone is friendly, and that life in general is fine. Europeans, on the contrary, prefer to keep a more neutral （不带感情色彩的）facial expression. They smile mostly when they are in a good mood, or feel amused； if not, a European，s face will remain neutral, or even dull. In Russia, for example, there is a proverb saying that laughing for no reason is a sign of a fool. It does not mean that Europeans are serious, or that they do not have a sense of humor.The same refers to communication in general. Americans are extremely communicative； small talks and chats are common. Europeans talk mostly when there is something to say, and rarely enter communication just for the purpose of talking to other people. American people prefer to express what they think carefully, considering how it might affect surrounding people. Europeans are more straightforward, even with unfamiliar people. A European friend will almost always voice his opinion on different occasions, and will not hesitate to remind you that you need to lose some weight or take a shower.It can be said that Americans are people of contrasts. They are open-minded, flexible, and ready to accept everything new enthusiastically； but at the same time, American society manages to bring up unbelievable conservatives. Americans are extremely politically correct, which, in most cases, is indeed a secure and beneficial practice, but i_t can also mess up daily or even private communication, sometimes preventing having close relationships. Europeans, on the contrary, are more straightforward, preferring to tell the truth in direct ways. Each way of communication is different neither is correct or incorrect.【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了西方国家间的文化差异，包括微笑和交流等方面。1. What does the author say about smiling?reality.

The chances are that as you did it, you reflected on how inventive this traditional art is. Animals, boxes, flowers and boats all can be created from a single square or rectangular sheet of paper simply by folding it. No cutting, no pasting.But did you ever stop to think how the same techniques might be applied to engineering? Equipment that could be of real practical use? Origami meets the demand for things that need to be small when transported and large when they arrive, like the everyday umbrella. In fact, origami- inspired creations have already flown in space； in 1995, Japanese engineers launched a satellite with solar panels that were folded like a map.“It's now mathematically proven that you can pretty much fold anything, " says physicist Robert J. Lang, who quit his engineering job eight years ago to fold things full-time. Lang, an origami enthusiast since age six, advised a well-known car manufacturer on the best way to fold an airbag into a dashboard （仪表板）. He is currently working on a space telescope lens that, if all goes according to the plan, should be able to unfold to the size of a football field.At the other end of the scale, researchers are also working on tiny folding devices that could lead to breakthroughs in medicine and computing. There，s no doubt that computers of the future may contain tiny, folded capacitors （电容器）for faster processing and better memory.Applications for origami engineering go further than many of us might imagine. "Some day, says MIT，s Erik Demaine, “we'll build reconfigurable （pTM 构的）robots that can fold on their own from one thing into another, like Transformers. Doesn，t it feel like science fiction comes true? Maybe一though you certainly wouldn't want to bet against it.”【语篇解读】本文主要介绍了折纸工艺的应用，从折叠成各种东西到应用于工程学、太空等领域。5. What do we know about origami?A.
