语篇分析
这篇文章讲得是一则谚语：邻家芳草绿，隔岸风景好． 同时，文章向我们提到，如果你的眼光放长远，会发现没有得到的东西未必更好．
【解答】1．B 考查名词． 句意："篱笆另一边的草看起来更绿"这是英语中一句古老的谚语． 选项中，word意为"单词，话语"；saying意为"谚语"；sentence意为"句子"；rule意为"规则"，结合文意可知，这句话中蕴含着人生道理，可见不是一句单纯的话语，而是一句谚语，故选：B．
2．D 考查定语从句关系词． 句意：那句话意思是说，其他的地方看起来比你所居住的地方更好、更有趣． 选项中，that意为"那个"；when意为"何时"；where意为"在哪儿"；which意为"哪一个"，此题考查定语从句中关系词的用法，定语从句修饰地点时，关系词通常用where，而where同样可以转换为in which，故选：D．
3．A 考查宾语从句． 句意：一些人担心中国的年轻人会开始那样想． 选项中，that意为"那个"；if意为"如果、是否"；why意为"为什么"；whether意为"是否"，结合句意可知，一些人担心年轻人那样想，所以填入"如果"、"是否"、"为什么"都不符合题意，故应选用that，此句为宾语从句，在宾语从句中，通常that不作为从句主要成分，故可省略，没有实际意义，故选：A．
4．C 考查副词． 句意：他们看到年轻人对中国文化无感，相反，却去买日本动漫书籍、观看韩国肥皂剧甚至是过西方的节假日． 选项中，however意为"然而"；besides意为"除…之外（还）"；instead意为"反而，代替，却"；then意为"那么"，结合句意，此处填入instead最为合适，意为"相反，反而"，故选：C．
5．C 考查连词． 句意：外国书籍和肥皂剧是很不错，但是中国的作家和演员同样很好． 选项中，and意为"并且"；so意为"所以"；but意为"但是"；or意为"或者"，结合句子语境，填入but表示转折最为恰当，意为"但是"，故选：C．
6．B 考查副词． 句意：至于节假日，圣诞节是很好，但是它绝对没有春节在中国人心中的含义． 选项中，still意为"仍然"；never意为"从不，绝不"；always意为"总是"；ever意为"曾经，在任何时候"，结合句子含义，再结合生活实际，我们知道，圣诞节是永远不会有春节在我们心中的地位高的，故选：B．
7．D 考查形容词性物主代词． 句意：不要忘了我最喜爱中国文化的那一部分：它的友爱！ 选项中，they意为"他们"；their意为"他们的"；it意为"它"；its意为"它的"，结合句意，作者提到，不要忘了他最喜爱的中国文化中的一部分：友爱！ 从句意中，我们可以了解到，这个友爱不是某个人的友爱，而是中国文化中的友爱，Chinese culture是不可数的，故要用it代替，而"中国文化的"，则用its来代替，故选：D．
8．A 考查形容词． 句意：不是所有的国家都和中国一样温暖． 选项中，warm意为"温暖的"；warmer意为"更温暖的"；cold意为"寒冷的"；colder意为"更寒冷的"，结合前文，上一句话提到中国文化的友爱，所以说明中国很温暖，故排除C和D选项，而句中是as…as…结构，意为"和…一样…"，as和as之间，加上形容词和副词的原级，而非比较级，故选：A．
9．D 考查动词． 句意：喜爱其他文化，并且从中学习，这是好的现象． 选项中，learn意为学习，learns是其三单形式，learning是其动名词形式，in learning是一个介词短语，to learn是其动词不定式，题干处是一个形式主语：It is adj to do sth，意为"做某事是怎么样的"，故后面的动词，要用不定式结构，即to do sth，故选：D．
10．C 考查动词短语． 句意：看看篱笆另一边也是好的，但是要确保眼光足够好、足够长远． 选项中，make up意为"化妆，构成"；make up of意为"由…构成"；make sure意为"确保"；be sure to意为"确定去…"，结合选项和句意，此处填入make sure最为恰当，意为"确保"，故选：C
