閱題測驗的解題訣竅就是需要多點耐心，其實真的並不可怕，因為外國人寫文章都愛用破題法，只要能看第一段即可知道文章大概在講什麼內容。例如在此篇文章的第一段中，有提到” antipathy”(厭惡) 、”hostility”(敵對) 、”war”(戰爭)，所以文章一定跟”戰爭源自於人類彼此的厭惡與敵對”有關。
| From a historical perspective, successful intercultural | |
| communication has been an exception rather than a rule. The history | |
| of humankind details an ongoing antipathy and hostility toward those | |
| who are different. The twentieth century, for instance, suffered two | |
| 5 | world wars and witnessed the introduction and use of chemical, |
| biological, and nuclear weapons with potential to destroy humankind. | |
| The world also endured the Holocaust and various smaller–scale | |
| conflicts such as those in Korea, Vietnam, Kuwait, Iraq, and | |
| Afghanistan. Now, the world is faced with the aftermath of the | |
| 10 | destruction of the World Trade Center in New York City and the |
| ensuing war on terrorism. In addition, there are numerous ongoing | |
| religious, ethnic, and tribal clashes that seem beyond resolution. The | |
| ongoing clash between primarily Hindu India and predominantly | |
| Muslim Pakistan over Kashmir, which occasionally leads them to the | |
| 15 | brink of nuclear war, is the case in point. In Indonesia, one of the |
| most populous countries in the world, a bomb goes off outside a Bali | |
| disco and a new wave of ethnic violence engulfs the country. |
