【答案及解析】
1.【答案】culture改為cultures
【解析】本題考查詞匯及語法?！拔幕边@一詞很容易被當(dāng)作抽象名詞，從而使考生覺得應(yīng)該把“are”改為“is”。其實(shí)本句中“culture”為可數(shù)名詞，指的是不同國(guó)家的文化，這一點(diǎn)從首行“multicultural”也可推斷出來。故本題需要改正的不是動(dòng)詞而應(yīng)把“culture”變?yōu)閺?fù)數(shù)形式。
2.【答案】or改為and
【解析】本句考查語義邏輯。連詞的前后部分并非二選一的關(guān)系，故不能用“or”而應(yīng)使用表示并列及順承的“and”。此外，“most likely”也可作為得出答案的提示。
3.【答案】the other改為another
【解析】本題考查詞匯用法及固定搭配。容易誤用的詞或詞組是常考的考點(diǎn)，如“another”, “the other”, “others”。如果提到兩方，應(yīng)使用“one…the other…”來表示“一個(gè)……另一個(gè)……”,而本句并沒有出現(xiàn)把文化分為兩類的意思，因此不可使用“the other”,應(yīng)選擇不特指的“another”。
4.【答案】with改為in
【解析】本題考查介詞的使用。用某種語言表達(dá)應(yīng)使用介詞“in”而非“with”,但由于“with”也有“用”的意思，此類情況下容易混淆?？苫貞浺粋€(gè)簡(jiǎn)單的句子，如 “How do you say this in English?”然后類推出答案。
5.【答案】critic改為critical
【解析】本題考查詞匯用法。修飾名詞“difference”的應(yīng)為形容詞“critical”。
6.【答案】arrogant改為arrogantly
【解析】本題同樣考查詞匯用法。須注意，“arrogant”并非在be動(dòng)詞之后作表語，“傲慢”之意應(yīng)修飾其后的“monocultural”,故應(yīng)改為副詞形式“arrogantly”,用副詞修飾形容詞。
7.【答案】hide后加it
【解析】本句考查語法規(guī)則。本句包含定語從句，限定主語“those”。句意為“而那些覺察到的人也無法掩飾”?！把陲棥钡馁e語為上文提到的“being arrogantly monocultural”,本句中應(yīng)用“it”指代，故應(yīng)在句末加上“it”。
8.【答案】culture改為cultural
【解析】本題考查詞匯用法?！拔幕趬尽睉?yīng)為“cultural barrier”而非“culture barrier”,屬形容詞修飾名詞。
9.【答案】block改為blocking
【解析】本題考查語法規(guī)則。通過分析句子成分可知，“block”并非句子的謂語，因此應(yīng)該使用非謂語形式。外國(guó)人感覺到傲慢情緒并很快建立起文化壁壘，主語“foreigners”與“block”之間是主動(dòng)的關(guān)系，故使用“block”的現(xiàn)在分詞。
10.【答案】has后加been
【解析】本題考查語法規(guī)則。本句包含定語從句，從句先行詞為“requirement”,其與“neglect”之間應(yīng)為被動(dòng)關(guān)系，意為“這一要求被忽視”，故應(yīng)根據(jù)現(xiàn)在完成時(shí)被動(dòng)語態(tài)的要求，在“neglected”之前加“been”。
