2010年全国中考英语真题解析汇编
三、阅读理解
（一）记叙文
【2010安徽省卷】 A
Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing (令人迷惑的). A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications were always possible, even over something as simple as "yes" and "no".
On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, “Do you have cold drinks? The woman there didn't say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the Woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her: She had raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which in Micronesia means "yes".
Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, "Do you have cabbage today?" He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means no.
Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing. He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean "yes" or "no".
76. These Americans teaching English in other countries found that they ______.
A. should go abroad for vacations
B. needed to learn foreign languages
C. should often discuss their experiences
D. had problems with communications

78. Tom misunderstood his class at first because

D. In India, only shaking heads means "YES".
80. The passage is mainly about _____.

【主旨大意】：这是一篇介绍在不同地区存在文化差异的文章，并且介绍了在不同国家对于“是或不是”有的是点头，有的是摇头，就是在印度同一国家的不同地方也有不一样的表达方式。
76. D整体理解题 通读全文，尤其从第一段末尾的They decided that miscommunications were always possible可知，他们对在不同地区与人如何交流感到有麻烦。
77. B细节理解题 根据第二段的最后一句话“She had raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which in Micronesia means "yes".可判断答案是B.
78. A综合理解题 根据第四小段可以找到在印度不同地方用点头或摇头来表示同意或不同意，所以开始的点头和摇头的都已经听懂了，而作者却不明白。
79. A 细节理解题 根据第三段的最后一句In that country, a nod means no.可知在这个地方点头表示不。
80. C 主旨理解题 通读全文可知本文是介绍了在不同的国家和不同的地区有着各种不同的交流方式，如不注意这种文化地域差异，往往会造成误解。虽然开头说到了教英语，那只是引出话题。所以选择答案C.
