问题     Cultural knowledge consists of the rules, categories, assumptions, definitions, and judgments that people use to classify and interpret the world around them.【B6】______To the members of that society, these cultural rules don’t seem arbitrary at all, but logical, normal, right, and proper.
    【B7】______Each cultural system is different in this respect, with a logic and a consistency of its own. People in any given culture derive a large part of their personality and sense of group identity from these patterns, which have developed over a long period of time.
    And this cultural pattern is learned, not innate. At birth, we are not Mexican, or Egyptian, or Japanese.【B8】______We develop a particular cultural style, an inability, in Georges Braque’s phrase, to do otherwise.
    The cultural style that we absorb is therefore a kind of framework within which we develop a highly personal style. Although we remain individuals, we operate within a context which also marks us as Japanese, Mexican, or Egyptian.
    As Japanese, Mexicans, or Egyptians,culture equips us with not only a special way of looking at life and the world, but with a problem-solving mechanism for finding our way through that world. It does so by providing us with categories for organizing our perception, and with a set of values for arranging these categories into basic groups: good and bad, better and worse, true and false, ugly and beautiful, and so on.【B9】______
    You can easily see how useful culture is. The patterns developed within a social group over generations of interaction enable its members to generate meaning and structure very quickly from the plethora of daily events and occurrences.【B10】______
A. We learn to become these things, to perceive, value, and behave in certain ways, and not in others.
B. The knowledge of culture is basically a pattern of values, beliefs and expectations which underlie and shape the behavior of groups and individuals.
C. Although these are essentially arbitrary, they are shared among people, and form the basis for their life together.
D. Culture helps us achieve a level of security and predictability, to create and maintain order in large segments of our lives, thus freeing us to be more creative in other areas.
E. A foreign culture is therefore very much like a secret code.
F. Through the lens of our culture, we selectively perceive; we organize what we select; and we make judgments about these things.
【B8】
选项
答案B
解析 空格前一句提到这种文化模式是习得的，而不是与生俱来的。空格后一句说，我们自己开创了一套特殊的文化方式，对此我们无能为力，别无选择。只有B项能使句子前后贯通，所以本题选B。
