2025届高考一轮话题复习 人与社会：多元文化 练习（共7份，含答案）

Ⅰ.阅读理解 The cultures of the East and the West are really different from each other a lot.This is because the culture systems are two separate ones on the whole. The origin(起源) of the Eastern culture is mainly from two countries: China and India.Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers—the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India.They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles. When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture，another famous culture was up on the Mesopotamian Plain—the Mesopotamian Civilization.This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.And these two are well known as the base of the European culture.Like the Chinese culture，the European culture also crossed waters.When the British settled down in America，their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean.So the American culture doesn't have much difference from the European culture. At the same time，some other differences add to the cultural differences.Take the language system for example.In the East，most languages belong to the pictographic(象形文字的) language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system.Other causes like human race differences count as well.But what's more，due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and the West，the two cultures seldom communicated until recent centuries.So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference(干预) from the other. The differences are everywhere.They are obvious and make people's ways of thinking and their views of the world different.But different cultures make the world of the 21st century more colorful.The cultural difference should not be the obstacle(障碍) to the civilization of human being.It ought to be the driving force of our going farther. 1．What does the underlined word “civilization” mean in paragraph 3 A．A particular ability or type of ability.
