(10 points) Read Passage 1 and then answer Questions 31 —35 briefly. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Every culture has its own body language, and children absorb its nuances along with spoken language. A Frenchman talks and moves in French. The way an Englishman crosses his legs is nothing like the way an American male does it. In talking, Americans are apt to end a statement with a droop of the head or hand, a lowering of the eyelids. They wind up a question witha lift of the hand, a lifting of the chin, or a widening of the eyes. With a future-tense verb they often gesture with a forward movement.There are regional body languages, too: an expert can sometimes pick out a native of Wisconsin just by the way he uses his eyebrows during conversation. Your sex, ethnic Aground, social class, and personal style all influence your body language. The person who is truly bilingual is also bilingual in body language.Usually the wordless communication acts to qualify the words. What the nonverbal elements express very often, and very efficiently, is the emotional side of the message. When a person feels liked or disliked, often it"s a case of "not what he said but the way he said it. " Psychologist Albert Mehrabian has devised this formula: total impact of a message = 7%verbal +38% vocal +55% facial. The importance of the voice can be seen when you consider that even the words "1 hate you" can be read to sound special.Experts in kinetics —the study of communication through body movement —are not prepared to spell out a precise vocabulary of gesture. When an American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or rejecting something. But there are other possible interpretations, too. For example, when a student in conversation with a professor holds the older man"s eyes a little longer than usual, it can be a sign of respect and affection; it can be a subtle challenge to the professor"s authority; or it can be something else entirely. The expert looks for patterns in the context, not for an isolated meaningful gesture.31. What is mainly discussed in the opening paragraph?32. How can an expert in kinetics tell whether a person is anative of Wisconsin or not?33. According to the writer, what factors affect one"s body language?34. What is the function of nonverbal communication?35. Can we get a precise meaning through one particular gesture?Part 2: Questions 36—40 are based on this part. (10 points) Read Passage 2 and then decide whether Statements 36-40 are True or False according to the information given in the passage. Write ""T" for true and "F" for false on the Answer Sheet.Passage 2In some respects we are like computers that are controlled by operating systems - our culture. Anthropologists Edward T. Hall and Mildred Reed Hall suggested that culture is "a sy5lern for creating, sending, storing, and processing information. - Sounds rather like the standard definition for a computer, doesn"t it? This useful metaphor helps us better understand how culture operates. Think of your body as the hardware of a computer. Computers may have more than one operating system, such as DOS, Mac, Unix, or Windows. They also have software that controls specific applications, such as word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations. When you are functioning under one operating system, say as a European North American, you behave like others in that group. But at times you may be controlled by another operating system, say, when you are in a situation where you are functioning as a female. Society programs men and women to act differently. Gender, race, age, religion, and many other factors affect our behavior. These factors are like operating systems that program us to behave in certain patterns.Just as Unix operating system has trouble communicating with a DOS machine, so do people from one culture have difficulty getting through to those from another culture. Because individuals have more than one operating system, they do not always behave as expected. And just as operating systems can control many software applications, people are further differentiated by the software application that may be operating at any given time. For example, work cultures differ remarkably from one organization to another. When people conditioned to work in casual surroundings are placed in work cultures that are more formal and regimented, they may experience culture shock.The important thing to remember is that culture is a powerful operating force that conditions the way we think and behave. And yet, we are not truly computers. As thinking individuals, we are extraordinarily flexible and are capable of phenomenal change.36. In some way people are like computers that are controlled by operating systems-culture.37. Society programs men and women of the same culture not to act differently.38. Just as computers with different operating systems have difficulty communicating, people from different cultures cannot communicate with each other.39. Gender, race, age, religion, and many other factors are like operating systems that program us to behave in certain patterns.40. In one society, people conditioned to work in casual conditions will not be shocked when placed in formal work cultures.Section Ⅳ: Communication Analysis [30 points]Instructions: The following are three different cases of cross-cultural communication. In each of the cases there is something to be improved upon. Write an analysis on what is to be desired for more successful communication or cultural understanding in each case by answering Questions 41—43 respectively. Your analysis of each case should be 100—150 words. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Note! Your writing ability will also be assessed in this section of the test.Case 1 (7 points)Linhua has accompanied an American delegation to visit China. They have experienced the hospitality of the Chinese people. After returning to America, Linhua once visited them. They were so glad to meet again. Linhua offered to host the meal, but they refused. They ordered their own dish, and Linhua ordered her own. When footing the bill, they only paid their part, and no one wanted to pay for Linhua. Linhua found them so inhospitable, though she knew the Americans would usually pay for their own food.Question 41. Why did Linhna find them inhospitable?Case 2 (10 points)Zhou came to the United States for overseas study half a year ago. When he worked part-time in a restaurant, he made friends with an American student Jim.One day, as they were leaving work, Jim asked Zhou, "Zhou, I need a favor. I have to go over 10 school, and I"m out of money. Could you lend me a dollar so I can take the bus over there and then get home? I"ll pay you back tomorrow. ""Sure, Jim. No problem. You don"t have to pay me back," said Zhou, as he handed Jim a dollar.As soon as he got to work the next day, Jim went over to Zhou and handed him a dollar, saying, "Thanks, Zhou. I really appreciated this last night. It sure was too cold to walk. ""Forget it," said Zhou, as he handed back his dollar."Oh, no. I insist. 1 don"t want to take advantage of a friend. What if 1 needed to borrow money again sometime? If I didn"t pay you back now, I would feel wrong asking to borrow money again," said Jim, as he put the dollar into Zhou"s shirt pocket.Zhou answered, " But that"s what friends for. In China, we have a saying "today for you, tomorrow for me. "If you pay me back, I will feel that I won"t be able to ask you for money when I need it. I will feel like you are closing the door on me, and that there is no trust between us. I thought we were friends. How can I take the money?" Zhou handed back the dollar."But I won"t feel right if you don"t take it!" said Jim.Question 42:Why did Jim insist on returning the dollar to Zhou? Why didn"t Zhou want to take it? What culture values are reflected in their attitudes?Case 3 (13 points)Study the following two short speeches. One is given by a Hong Kong Chinese and the other by an American businessman.A. Because most of our production is done in China now, and it"s not really certain how Hong Kong will he like after 1997, and since I think a certain amount of caution in committing to TV advertisement is necessary because of the expense, so, I suggest that we delay making our decision until after Legco makes its decision.B. I suggest that we delay makin8 our decision until after Legco nukes its decision. That"s because I think a certain amountof caution in committing to TV dvertisement is necessary because of the expense, In addition to that production is done in China now, and it"s not really certain how Hong will like after 1997.Question 43:Which speech might be given by the Chinese and which by the American? Give your reasons.英语专业跨文化交际试题答案及评分标准（供参考）Section Ⅰ: Listening [20 points]Part 1 (10 points, 2 points each.)1．C 2.A 3.D 4.B 5.APart 2. (10 points, 1 point each.

And if they cannot do this, they at least will struggle to pay for the guest.2)In America, people tend to pay for themselves to show equality and independence. 3)Linhua knows this custom, but from a Chinese point of view, she still finds this hard to accept, and feels it a little inhospitable.Question 42.Case 2 (10 points: 8 points for the analysis, 2 points for overall language quality. )1)Jim was keeping his promise when he returned the dollar. Americans regard credibility as very important. The value of self-reliance is also important to Americans. They do not feel it right to rely on others for too much. In American culture, owing too many favors means being dependent. Americans see this as aweakness. They cannot respect themselves if they feel too much "in debt" to other people, financially or otherwise. Instead, they prefer to be "free" from obligations to others.2)0ne reason Zhou did not want to accept Jim"s dollar was that in Chinese culture it is very important to be generous to friends. Generosity and respect for friends" generosity are two values that explain many Chinese customs and attitudes. Chinese do not try to return small amount of money for they don"t want to suggest to their friends that they are stingy and "haggle over every ounce". This is why Jim"s refusal to accept Zhou"s generosity made Zhou question their friendship.Question 43.Case 3 (13 points: 11 points for the analysis, 2 points for overall language quality.)1)The message of the two versions is the same but the way it is expressed is different.2)The first speech might be made by the Chinese. Even though the words and sentences of the speaker are quite clear, it does not seem quite clear what the speaker"s main point is.3)The second is what the Western people might expect.4)The reason lies in the different discourse patterns between Chinese and English. The deductive (topic-first) pattern is prevalent in the West. The Chinese and other Asians favor the inductive (topic-delayed) pattern. The Western people are in the habit of directly expressing their ideas, while the Chinese employ an indirect way when presenting their ideas.。

跨文化交际期末试题及答案

跨文化交际期末试题及答案试题一：1. 跨文化交际的概念是什么？2. 跨文化交际中可能遇到的困难有哪些？如何应对？3. 请列举两个不同文化背景下的沟通误解，并说明产生误解的原因。

4. 如何加强跨文化交际的能力？5. 请描述一次成功的跨文化交际经历，并谈谈你从中学到了什么。

答案如下：1. 跨文化交际是指不同文化背景的个体之间进行信息传递和相互理解的过程。

它涉及到语言、行为、价值观等方面的差异，需要在尊重和理解对方文化的基础上进行有效交流。

2. 在跨文化交际中，可能遇到语言障碍、文化差异导致的误解、价值观冲突等困难。

要应对这些困难，首先需要学习对方的语言，尽量减少语言障碍。

其次，要了解对方文化的特点，避免由于文化差异而引起的误解。

最后，要保持开放心态，尊重不同的价值观，通过倾听和理解来解决潜在的冲突。

3. （1）例子一：在西方国家，直接表达意见被视为开放和直率的表现，但在东方文化中，过于直接的表达会被视为冒犯和不尊重他人。

这种差异可能导致沟通中的误解和冲突。

原因：西方文化注重个人主义和直接表达，而东方文化注重集体主义和含蓄表达。

双方的价值观和文化习惯差异导致了沟通误解。

（2）例子二：在某些非洲国家，左手被视为不洁之手，不可用于触摸或传递物品；而在西方国家，左手并没有特殊的意义。

如果一个西方人无意中用左手递给非洲人物品，可能会被视为不尊重对方的文化。

原因：非洲文化中，左手被认为是不洁的，使用左手被视为不尊重和不礼貌的行为。

而在西方文化中，没有类似的禁忌。

4. 加强跨文化交际的能力需要多方面的努力。

首先，要增加对不同文化背景的了解，包括语言、历史、价值观等方面。

其次，要培养跨文化沟通的敏感性和意识，学会观察和尊重不同文化之间的差异。

此外，多与来自不同文化的人交流，积累经验和技巧，不断提升自己的跨文化交际水平。

5. 描述一次成功的跨文化交际经历，得以学习到很多。

我在一次国际研讨会上结识了一位来自日本的研究者。

期末英语专业跨文化交际试题试题及参考答案

期末英语专业跨文化交际试题试题及参考答案一、阅读理解（共30分）阅读下面短文，并根据文章内容选择正确答案。

Passage 1Communication styles and norms differ significantly between cultures, and understanding these differences is essential for successful cross-cultural communication.In some cultures, such as the United States and Canada, direct communication is highly valued. People tend to speak their mind openly and directly, even if it means disagreeing with others. They believe in being straightforward and assertive.On the other hand, in many Asian cultures, such as Japan and China, indirect communication is the norm. People are more likely to hint at what they mean rather than stating it outright. They often use nonverbal cues and context to convey their messages. This communication style values harmony and maintaining face.When engaging in cross-cultural communication, it is important to be aware of these differences and adjust your communication style accordingly. If you are from a direct communication culture, you may need to be more sensitive to nonverbal cues when interacting with individuals from an indirect communication culture.1. According to the passage, direct communication is highly valued in which cultures?A. Asian culturesB. United States and CanadaC. European culturesD. African cultures2. What is the communication style in Japan and China?A. Direct communicationB. Indirect communicationC. Nonverbal communicationD. Contextual communication参考答案：1. B2.

Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1How can we ease the process of coming to terms with a new culture? Everyone going to work or study in an alien culture for any length of time will experience culture shock. Sooner or later frustrations and despondency stemming from trying to come to terms with unfamiliar ways will arise. However, it’s possible to take steps to lessen the severity of culture shock and to hasten adjustment to the culture of the new country, to the host culture.First, newcomers need to remember that the host culture has its own reasons for doing things in a certain way. When you run up against difficulties, try to avoid the simple assumption that people are behaving in an unreasonable or hostile fashion. Be more charitable. Assume instead that your expectations were thwarted because you didn’t yet quite grasp the local ways. Suspend judgment until you are sure you understand the第7 页(共11 页)case fully.Such understanding can come from several sources. One of the most important is from those who come from the same cultural background, who have gone through the same experience and successfully adjusted to life in the new environment. Adaptation is on occasion a two-way process. British workers in a Japanese factory in England have to learn to adapt to the different work practices imported by their Japanese managers from Japan; at the same time as the latter have to become acclimatized to life in England.Members of the host culture are also an important source of information. Newcomers should be prepared to ask about anything they do not understand. Most people are quite happy to act as guides on the local mores to the inquisitive newcomer. Such questions need to be phrased tactfully, however, avoiding suggestions of criticism or complaint. While people may feel quite happy to criticize various aspects of their own society amongst themselves, they are understandably less happy when they hear those they consider outsiders taking the liberty. English immigrants to Australia have sometimes found this to their cost. Coming form a nation where criticizing almost all aspects of society from the government to economy is something of a national pastime, they tend to keep the habit when they move to Australia. Now while most Australians are quite happy to criticize their own society amongst themselves, they feel that for newcomers to do so suggests ingratitude and so they react in a hostile way to what they see as the uppitiness of the “whinging poms”.31.According to the author, what is the first thing a person needs to do in order tohasten adjustment to a new culture?32.What example does the author give to illustrate “adaptation is on occasion atwo-way process”?33.How do people feel about criticizing their own society as well as being criticizedby outsiders?34.According to the passage, what habit do English immigrants keep when they moveto Australia?35.Why do Australians react in a hostile way to English immigrants?Part 2: Questions 36-40 are based on this part. (10 points)Read Passage 2 and then decide whether Statements 36-40 are True or False第8 页(共11 页)according to the information given in the passage. Wri te “T” for true and “F” for false on the Answer Sheet.Passage 2In China, it is the parents, usually the father, who make all important decisions for the children. It is the father, for example, who will usually make decisions concerning what and where the children should study. This is in marked contrast to Australian families where children play an increasingly important role in deciding such matters as they grow older. This independence is also shown in the Australian custom of children leaving home to live independently of their parents long before marriage. There are few if any opportunities for young people to set up independently in this fashion in China. Indeed, the Australian practice in this regard can seem from a Chinese perspective to indicate that Australians do not care about their families.Australian children are more likely to be expected to work while they are studying than their Chinese counterparts. This can also apply to household chores, with Chinese parents expecting their offspring to devote their time to their studies. Children may be excused such duties right up to marriage, so that married life can sometimes come as a rude awakening to the need to cook and clean.Whereas in Australia students may work during the holidays or part-time during term, such activity is rare in China. The situation has changed somewhat since the end of the 1980s, with some students taking work as tutors or providing various services such as dressmaking. But the initial public reaction was one of shock.It is then, still viewed as primarily the parents’ responsibility to support their children while they are pursuing their education. Money spent in this way is under no circumstances regarded as a loan, to be repaid when the children finish their education and have secured a job. University students in Australia also receive financial assistance from their parents and there is in some families an understanding that this will be repaid once they are financially independent. To many Chinese this may smack of lack of love and family feeling.The Australian emphasis on fostering independence in children from an early age runs counter to the Chinese view. Chinese children are not expected to be autonomous of第9 页(共11 页)their families to the same extent, with dependence on parents up to the time they are married. The protection and care of their children is the duty of parents. Chinese parents would look upon the failure to fulfill this duty as violating the most basic of parental responsibility. Dependence is the inevitable corollary and not something to be shed as soon as possible but the expression of strong family bonds of affection.36.In Australia, children make important decisions for themselves as they grow older.37.In China, few children leave home to live long before marriage.38.Both Australian and Chinese children are not expected to work during their schoolyears.39.To many Chinese, dependence is the expression of strong family bonds ofaffection.40.In Australia, no children are expected to pay back the money loaned by theirparents for their university education.Section IV: Communication Analysis [30 points] Instructions: The following are three different cases of cross-cultural communication. In each of the cases there is something to be improved upon. Write an analysis on what is to be desired for more successful communication or cultural understanding in each case by answering Questions 41-43 respectively. Your analysis of each case should be about 100-150 words. Write your answers on the Answer Sheet.Note! Your writing ability will also be assessed in this section of the test.Case 1 (7 points)An American tourist and a Chinese couple met for the first time. They are introducing themselves like this:American tourist: It was so nice to mee t you both here. I’m Lucy Webster. Thank you very much.Chinese woman: It’s a pleasure. I’m Li Hong, and this is my husband. Welcome to China, Miss Lucy.第10 页(共11 页)American tourist: Thank you, Mrs. Li. Would both of you like a cup of coffee? Chinese couple: No, thanks.Question 41: What went wrong in the case and Why?Case 2 (10 points)Li Lan had an American friend Susan. They usually had lunch together and Li Lan often asked Susan for advice on problems she faced adjusting to American society. Susan gave Li Lan a lot of advice and helped her to improve her English. Once Li Lan needed urgently a big sum of money to pay her tuition fee. Since she has no other friends in the States, she turned to Susan for help and promised that she would return the money soon. 7To Li Lan’s great disappointment, this time Susan didn’t seem happy to lend the money to her. Though Li Lan returned the money as she promised, they didn’t get along well from then on.Question 42:What are the differences in what American and Chinese young people expect from their friends? What kind of advice would you give to both of them so that they could get to know each other better?Case 3 (13 points)Wang Jie is an excellent doctor in a big traditional Chinese medicine hospital in Hangzhou. Mike is his newly-made American friend who came to China to learn traditional Chinese acupuncture only two months ago. Last month, Wang Jie was promoted as deputy director of the hospital. Hearing the good news, Mike suggested going out for a drink. But to his great surprise, Wang Jie told him that he had declined the promotion. When asked why, Wang Jie took two Chinese sayings “人怕出名，猪怕壮”and “树大招风”in broken English as the response, which made Mike even more puzzled.Question 43:Would you help Wang Jie by interpreting the two Chinese sayings properly and providing fuller explanations for his declining the promotion?第11 页(共11 页)第12 页(共11 页)。

Answer the following questions(简答题)1. What is the culture, and what are the characteristics of the culture? P45what the behavior and customs mean to the people who are following them.2. What’s the relationship between culture and language?Culture influences language by way of symbols and rules for using those symbols, as well as our perceptions of the universe(the meaning associated with the symbols).Language, on the other hand, would seem to have a major impact on the way an individual perceives and conceptualizes the world.3. How do Japanese people refuse? P1354. How do Chinese and western people respond to others’ compliment? P1625. What kinds of nonverbal communication are often used in our daily communication? P1916. What are the functions of the nonverbal communication? P2187.What are the differences on receiving gift s between Chinese and westerner?In the West, it is regarded as polite to open gifts as soon as they are given to express appreciation. In China, the situation is quite the reverse. Norma lly we Chinese feel that if you open the gift as soon as it is given, you might embarrass the person wh o gives the gift and you might be thought greedy. Therefore, Chinese people tend to open the gifts af ter the visitors have left.In China, many people send gifts without wrappi ng them, and if they wrap them, they usually tell t he receiver what is inside, and the receiver will tha nk the sender and put the gift aside without unwra pping them since they already know what is insid e. English receivers open the gifts in front of the se nders of the gifts.8.Describe the different ways in showing hospitality between Chinese culture and west ern culture.Chinese guests always refuse offer of drinks or food to demonstrate politeness in seeming not to wish to put their host to any trouble.Sometimes an offer is not a real offer but a polite remark. After we say 'no', we usually wait for the second and third offer. If the host just brings the food or drink an d ignores 'no', we ill accept it. Chinese like to press their guests to drink or eat to show their hospitalit y. While westerners always accept or refuse offer of drinks or food very genuinely.Their refusal is acce pted as genuine.Westerners don’t to press. To pres s people to have food or drink after they have refu sed is frowned upon and can cause embarrassment s.III. Case Analysis (You are required t o state cultural phenomenon in each cas e)Case 1Li Lan had an American friend Susan. They usually had lunch together and Li Lan often asked Susan for advice on problems she face d adjusting to American society. Susan gave Li Lan a lot of advice and helped her to impro ve her English. Once Li Lan needed urgently a big sum of money to pay her tuition fee. Si nce she has no other friends in the States, sh e turned to Susan for help and promised that she would return the money soon.To Li Lan’s great disappointment, this time Susan didn’t seem happy to lend the moneyto her. Though Li Lan returned the money as she promised, they didn’t get along well from then on.Question: Why did Li Lan feel unpleasant?Li Lan asked to borrow money from her A merican friend Susan, which is rarely part of Western friendship. Li Lan and Susan have di fferent expectations of friendship.In the West, people prefer to be independe nt and equal rather than dependent, so they don't feel comfortable in a relationship in whi ch one person gives more and the other pers on is dependent on what is given. Among frie nds they mostly provide emotional support to each other and spend timetogether, so they rarely borrow or lend money to each other. They would ask for a loan from the bank rath er than from their friends.While in China, people expect their friends to be loyal to each other, and they even take risks for their friends. So they would give no t only emotional support to each other but al so concrete help to each other, such as helpi ng to find a job, solving a problem, or even g iving money to help one out over a long peri od of time. So when a friend is in need, the fi rst person he or she wants to ask for help is naturally his/her friend.。
