different
(differ) cultural backgrounds. It may be difficult for them
to understand
(understand) each other.
Learning

Italian

Japanese
(Japan) tea ceremony. They give you an
international
(nation) view of the world. Today, with the internet, you can experience these things without

【分析】
本题为英语语法填空题,需结合短文语境、句子成分要求、固定搭配及语法规则对括号内单词变形。解题思路:1. 通读全文理解大意;2. 分析空白处的词性需求(如修饰名词用形容词、作主语用动名词等);3. 对括号内单词进行对应变形(如名词变复数、名词变形容词、动词变不定式/动名词等);4. 验证变形后内容是否符合语境和语法。
【解析】
1. 空前为形容词literary,需修饰名词,work表“作品”时为可数名词,此处指多部文学作品,故用复数works;
2. 空后为名词短语official languages,需用形容词修饰,Canada的形容词形式为Canadian;
3. 空后为名词短语cultural backgrounds,需用形容词修饰,differ的形容词形式为different;
4. 固定句型“it is + adj. + for sb. + to do sth.”,此处需用动词不定式,故填to understand;
5. 此处需动名词短语作主语,learn的动名词形式为Learning;
6. 空后为名词短语folk song,需用形容词修饰,Russia的形容词形式为Russian;
7. 空后为名词food,需用形容词修饰,Italy的形容词形式为Italian;
8. 空后为名词短语tea ceremony,需用形容词修饰,Japan的形容词形式为Japanese;
9. 空后为名词view,结合语境需表“国际的”,nation的形容词形式为international;
10. without为介词,介词后接动名词,故填leaving。
