小題1:　B
解析　下文都是與兩種不同的文化體系有關(guān)，說明這是造就文化差異總的原因，故選擇on the whole。above all首先；in all總共，總計(jì)；in no case決不。
小題2:　D
解析　根據(jù)下文“...the mother river is the Yellow River...”和“...the Hindu River.”可知。
小題3:　C
解析　while表示對(duì)比。中國(guó)的母親河是黃河，而印度的則是印度河。
小題4:　A
解析　與下文“...formed their own styles.”為承接關(guān)系，前者指的是兩種文化的發(fā)展。同時(shí)與第三段第二句“This civilization later on developed into the cultures of the Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.”相呼應(yīng)。improve提高；create創(chuàng)造；protect保護(hù)。
小題5:　C
解析　文化傳播應(yīng)是逐漸的。故選擇gradually。
小題6:　A
解析　唐朝文化傳播到日本，與日本文化融合。
小題7:D
解析　中日兩種文化的融合，進(jìn)而形成了現(xiàn)在的日本文化。shape使成為……形狀，塑造，符合語境。expand擴(kuò)展；interrupt中斷；influence影響。
小題8:　B
解析　根據(jù)上句日本文化的形成可知，中日文化雖有較大差異，但仍屬于同一文化體系。
小題9:　A
解析　與上句中的“When the two mother rivers gave birth to the eastern culture...”相對(duì)應(yīng)，另一種文化孕育于美索不達(dá)米亞平原。bring up培養(yǎng)，孕育，符合語境。carry out執(zhí)行；give out分發(fā)；pick up學(xué)會(huì)。
小題10:　C
解析　古希臘和古羅馬文化是歐洲文化的根基(base)。result結(jié)果；sign跡象；content內(nèi)容。
小題11:　D
解析　由下文中的also可知，西方文化的傳播像中國(guó)文化一樣也越過了海洋。
小題12:　C
解析　下文舉的例子說明歐洲文化也跨越了海洋。
小題13:　D
解析　英國(guó)殖民者登陸美洲定居下來。settle down定居，符合語境。
小題14:　D
解析　從上文歐洲文明與美洲文明的淵源來看，美洲文化和歐洲文化應(yīng)無很大區(qū)別。
小題15:　A
解析　由下文可知，該段主要說明語言的差異。
小題16:　D
解析　在東方，大多數(shù)的語言屬于象形語言，而大多數(shù)的西方語言都是從拉丁語系演變過來。properly確切地；partly部分地；simply僅僅。
小題17:　B
解析　句意為：其他一些因素諸如人種上的差異(在東西方文化差異形成上)也產(chǎn)生了重要影響。count值得考慮，符合語境。
小題18:　B
解析　因?yàn)闁|西方之間遠(yuǎn)隔千山萬水，路途又頗為險(xiǎn)峻，所以直到最近幾個(gè)世紀(jì)二者才開始有交流。前半句是原因，后半句是結(jié)果。
小題19:　C
解析　此處指兩種文化的交流(communicate)。transform改變；display展示；distinguish區(qū)分，均與語意不符。
小題20:　C
解析　前面一句提到的是原因。本句提到的是結(jié)果：這兩種文化都是在互不干擾的情況下按照各自的模式形成并發(fā)展。therefore因此，符合語境。
