(2018·贵州师大附中模拟)Growing up in Puerto Rico, our family was not different from so many others. My parents got married after my father came back when the war ended. Both of my parents were struggling with the hard economic realities of the time. But somehow, they found time to cherish those cultural values that shaped our everyday life.
In our daily life, we celebrated together with our friends or family members every birthday, every graduation, and all holidays with music and dancing, typical foods. When we visited our family in the countryside — a trip that took about two hours in a car, with five children fighting as to who would get a window or the front seat — we would break into a song, and somehow the trip would turn into one full of happiness and fun. We would sing not only interesting children's songs but also beautiful love songs — songs about the love of the country though we didn't understand the meaning of the words many times.
I came to Philadelphia for the first time in 1973 to do a residency (实习) in family medicine. I remember the many hours of work. I was facing issues of life and death and suffering the clearly social unfairness and issues of poverty and race. These were all aggravated by my feeling of cultural differences. An important turning point in my life happened one Saturday night when I attended a concert of Puerto Rican singer and composer Antonio Cabán Vale. The music showed my familiar rhythms, and the words spoke to my heart. I had found a space to express, celebrate, and share my culture in Philadelphia. Therefore, I believe diversity is seen as an advantage and not as a disadvantage. As a Puerto Rican, I am a mixture of races and I believe in my strength because of this.

33．Why does the author mention the trip in Paragraph 2?
A．To prove her pride in her culture. B．To show fun brought by cultural values. C．To express their love for the country. D．To explain what her family values are.
解析：选B 推理判断题。从第二段的内容可知，作者一家人一路欢歌，尽管他们很多时候还不懂歌词的意思，但他们享受其中的快乐。再结合全文的内容可知，作者提及这一段旅程的目的是说明文化价值观带来的乐趣。故答案选B项。
34．Which word is closest in meaning to the underlined word“aggravated”？ A．Worsened. C．Criticized.
B．Appreciated. D．Caused.
解析：选A 词义猜测题。从第三段的“issues of life and death and suffering the clearly social unfairness and issues of poverty and race”可知，作者意识到了不平等、贫困、种族等社会问题，而当作者想到文化差异时，作者认为这些情况更严重了。故该词意为“恶化，加重”，跟A项同义。
35．What did the concert make the author aware of? A．The possibility of celebrating her own culture. B．The right to share one's culture with others. C．The happiness of possessing unique cultural values. D．The right of cultures to coexist in society.
解析：选D 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Therefore, I believe diversity is seen as an advantage and not as a disadvantage. As a Puerto Rican, I am a mixture of races and I believe in my strength because of this”可知，作者听音乐会的经历，作者由听音乐会的经历受到启发，认为对社会而言，文化差异是优势而不是劣势，由此可推知，作者认为不同的文化有权利共存。
