2） 可数： A culture is a particular society or civilization, especially considered in relation to its beliefs, way of life, or art. (与某种特定信仰、生活方式或艺术相连的) 社会或文明
如：
people from different cultures. 【culture 指的生活方式】
…来自不同文化的人们。

3）可数：The culture of a particular organization or group consists of the habits of the people in it and the way they generally behave. (组织或团体的) 习惯和行为方式
如：
ut social workers say that this has created a culture of dependency, particularly in urban areas.
但是社会工作者说，这造成了一种依赖习惯，在城区尤其如此。 【culture是习惯的意思】

Answer 2

culture表示不同（国家的）文化或多种文化用复数，单纯的就说文化用单数（不可数），当然表示“文明”也不可数
