A
Just as slang words, table manners, and other common customs vary greatly from nation to nation, so do rude gestures. The last thing you want to do when traveling to a new country is to offend (冒犯) the locals. Here are some hand motions you’ll want to be careful about making in certain countries.
Iran
What might seem to Americans like a universally positive gesture is not, in fact, universal. “Unfortunately, in Iran and neighboring countries, the thumbs-up is the same as the middle finger!” explains Dana Hooshmand, an author for Discover Discomfort. In America, the middle finger is the one showing disrespect; in Iran, it’s the thumb. So, bear it in mind to avoid making this sign to Iranians.
Malaysia
As a little kid, you may have been blamed that “it’s not respectful to point with your index finger!” especially if you dared pair the gesture with laughter. This is especially true in Malaysia. As a result, employees at Disney parks are trained to avoid doing this. Instead, if they must, they use two fingers or, the common alternative is to point with your thumb (particularly the right thumb).
Thailand
In USA, patting someone’s head can be a sweet gesture, and messing someone’s hair is a playful one. But in Thailand, it can be a serious offense. The head “is considered the most sacred (神圣的) part of the body,” she explains. So keep your hands away from others’ heads to avoid disrespecting.
Taiwan, China
According to the locals, pointing to the moon will offend the moon goddess. Her punishment for this is very specific: She’ll cut your ear of, or at the very least cut it in Van Gogh-style. So if you’re admiring a beautiful full moon in Taiwan, try your best to keep your hands by your sides.
21．What is the common reason for minding gestures in different countries
A．Out of admiration. B．Out of curiosity.
C．Out of respect. D．Out of concern.
22．According to the article, which of the following can visitors do
A．Touching others’ head in Thailand.
B．Pointing with index finger in Malaysia.
C．Aiming one’s finger directly at the moon in Taiwan.
D．Making a thumb-up to others in USA．
23．Where is this text probably taken from
A．A science report. B．A travel magazine.
C．A business review. D．A novel.
B
Some Christmas traditions are pretty standard in mainstream (主流) American culture: put up the tree, string up the lights, visit grandma, and so on.
Then there’s the one my Colombian family does every year: the Novena de Aguinaldos. We pray (祈祷) for nine days without a stop, and this Novena counts down the nine days before Christmas. Most Americans have never heard of it, but in Colombia, it’s a big deal.
Like all good traditions, especially around the holidays, this tradition is about community and getting together with friends and family. My family immigrated (移民) from Colombia when I was just two months old. Every year, we gather with a group of Colombian friends for as many of the nine nights as we can.
There are three parts to the Novena de Aguinaldos. The first is the reading: each kid takes turns to read a book. Next comes the gozos, which means “The Joys”. That’s where the music comes in, and everyone gets an instrument, a maraca, a drum, a tin can — whatever you can use to make a sound. And then, the villancicos — Spanish Christmas carols (颂歌) come.
I’ve lived my whole life in the US. There’s not a lot of Colombian culture that we still hang onto. Why do we still carry on with the tradition of celebrating the Novenas, then
When I asked my parents the other day, the answer was that immigrants didn’t belong anywhere — not where you were, nor where you were from. So my parents helped create a space where we did. Even if the Novenas were nothing like what we might have celebrated if we’d stayed in Colombia, the Novenas became the heart of our community.
But our Novenas are starting to feel a little more breakable. It’s getting harder and harder for everyone to get together each year. Last year, I was studying abroad in Italy and couldn’t make it to any gathering; my brother went off to college and had exams late into December; my sister just moved to a new city, and my parents have taken up jobs in different countries.
24．What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A．The process of celebrating the Novena.
B．The development of a Colombian tradition.
C．The background of the Colombian family.
D．The differences between the Novena and Christmas.
25．Why does the Colombian family celebrate the Novena
A．To remember their dead friends. B．To find a sense of belonging.
C．To show their respect for Americans. D．To understand the local culture.
26．What makes celebrating the Novena difficult for the Colombian family
A．Lack of money. B．Their separate busy life.
C．American laws. D．Friends’ complaints.
27．What’s the best title for the text
A．Growing Up B．Colorful Culture
C．Exploring American Christmas Traditions D．Colombian Family’s Novena in the US

John has been a devoted hockey (冰球) enthusiast. In the past around two decades back, John, a part of the local junior league team, The Rapid, was an influential ice hockey competitor in his hometown, even with a considerable group of admirers. However, a knee injury in his teenage years ended his hopes of a career on the ice.
Years passed, and John grew into a successful businessman, but his love for hockey never disappeared. One day, he stumbled upon an opportunity to review his childhood passion. The Rapid was organizing a charity (慈善) game to raise money for the town’s youth sports program. John reached out to the team’s manager, Mr Smith, with a special request. He wanted to suit up and play as the goaltender (守门员) for one period of the game, just for the fun of it and to encourage the younger players. Mr Smith was delighted and quickly arranged for John to join the team for the day.
The news that John would take part in the game spread like wildfire in the town, and the stadium was packed with excited supporters. On the big day, John put on his old, a bit worn but still cherished hockey equipment (装备). He stepped onto the ice, feeling a rush of emotions that he hadn’t felt in decades. The crowd burst into cheers as he faced the first shot, and with each save, the energy grew. After the game, John surprised everyone by donating his game-worn equipment and a generous check to the local youth sports program. “I may not have been able to become a professional,” he said, “but I’m happy to give back and help these kids chase their dreams.”
People were deeply moved by John’s selflessness in supporting the next generation. It was a reminder that even when our own dreams seem out of reach, we can still make a difference to the lives of others.
28．What ended John’s career as a hockey player
A．Growing old. B．His business success.
C．His knee condition. D．Not being interested.
29．Why did John want to play in the charity game
A．To show off his skill. B．To inspire the youth.
C．To win his honor back. D．To make more money.
30．What did John do after the game
A．He decided to give up hockey ever since. B．He said sorry for not being professional.
C．He asked to check up his own equipment. D．He gave away his equipment and money.
31．Which of the following can best describe John
A．Warm-hearted and helpful. B．Creative but mean.
C．Hard-working and honest. D．Kind but impatient.
D
When I first launched my business about 10 years ago and started working in Mexico, I noticed co-workers and friends greeting each other with a brief hug and a kiss on the cheek. So I started doing that too, as I believed it was the custom, until one day my business partner pulled me aside and said, “Can you stop hugging and kissing the receptionist every time you come into the office I think it sends the wrong message.”
I didn’t understand the culture well enough to appreciate the unwritten rules. Yet, as CEO of a fast-growing multi-national company, that’s exactly what I needed to learn — and fast. I not only wanted to stop sending the wrong message, but I wanted to start sending the right messages. I wanted to understand how to tap into the diverse aspects of Latino culture while staying true to the culture of my own country and business. Expanding to other geographies only increases the importance of sending the right messages that support a more open and diverse workforce.
“As a CEO, it is important to learn some of the basic phrases in the native languages of your employees — it shows your respect for their culture.”
Every culture has its own set of primary cultural drivers. In the U. S we tend to be driven by popularity, success and financial reward. Other regions’ drivers can include family pride or community contribution. By learning these drivers and how they impact your relationships, you can build trust truly within your company. For example, in Northern Ireland and Mexico, I learned that family units stay close together and often meet every week for a meal, and co-workers are occasionally invited to these family functions. While this is not a regular practice in the U. S., I found that joining these family meals was crucial for building trust with my colleagues.
Over the years, I have learned to talk openly about these awkward aspects of culture and diversity. They need to be tackled head-on to come to a solution. By doing so, you can build trust and bridge large differences that lead to better productivity, higher levels of innovation, and a more enjoyable company culture that represents every culture that makes up your business. As leaders, it is our job to put these issues on the table and hammer through them sincerely --- no matter the cultural divide.
32．The author mentions hugging and kissing on the cheek to _________.
A．demonstrate he/ she is integrated in Mexico
B．provide an example of his misunderstanding
C．support he/ she is fully aware of the custom
D．compare body language in different cultures
33．What can we learn from the 4th paragraph
A．People in U. S bank on family functions.
B．People in Mexico focus more on success.
C．Cultural motivations vary with the country.
D．Building trust mainly relies on socializing.
34．Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “hammer through” in the last paragraph
A．deal with B．look forward to C．burn up D．be proud of
35．What can be a suitable title for the text
A．What is cultural diversity B．What is proper body language
C．How to send the right messages D．How to build trust in a diverse culture

When it comes to comfort, most travelers would pick trains over planes any day. Trains usually offer more leg and elbow room than airplanes. And there are no seat belt signs to keep you from getting up and moving around. 36 The following tips will help make your next long rail journey more comfortable.
37 That might mean booking a sleeper cabin instead of a seat. Therefore, you can lie down on overnight rides, or a first-class or business-class seat instead of a spot in coach to land yourself more legroom and a footrest.
A tablet (平板电脑) with movies and music can be a lifesaver on long train rides. But you’ll need a plan for keeping it charged. 38 Make sure you have the right adapter for your charger if you’re traveling in a foreign country. Consider bringing along some low-tech forms of entertainment, too, like a simple pack of cards.
When deciding what to pack for train travel, comfortable clothes should be at the top of your list. 39 Instead, select clothes with a relaxed fit that are made with soft, stretchy fabrics (纤维织物). Options include loose pants for men and high-rise trousers for women.
Part of the appeal of traveling by train is watching a variety of landscapes slip by outside your window, but once darkness falls — or if you simply need a nap — you might want to escape from the outside world for a while. 40
A．Some trains have power ports at every seat.
B．It’s a good idea to prepare some soft clothes.
C．Yet sitting in a seat for hours can still be challenging.
D．This is not the time to pick your tightest skinny jeans.
E．Upgrading your seat is the best choice if economy allows.
F．Consider bringing an electronic book reader to keep you entertained.
G．Noise-free headphones are recommended if you like to fall asleep to music.

It’s 1:30 am in Kenya’s populated north, and 50 people are lying on their backs on the shore of a dried-up river, staring up at the night sky.

“There is a common misconception in Kenya that astronomy in general is hard, boring, and only for boys,” she adds. “I’d like to 51 young ladies that it’s not right and that they, too, can become astronomers,” says Murabana.
“When I started this work, I was a lone ranger and I wanted to change that.” She says. 52 by a similar outreach activity, which lighted her 53 for astronomy in her early 20s, Murabana set up her own outreach program after her online master’s degree in astronomy in 2011.

I am a proud mother of three children. My last little baby was born in the middle of August and her name is Aida.
Shortly after having Aida, my mother-in-law Ann showed me something she learned from her friend’s mother in an art class she attended weekly. She had a loom (织布机) and showed me how to knit (编织) a scarf. After I learned some skills, she gave me a small loom with her half done project.
I was looking after my sweet little baby at home, so I had some extra time to do something with my hands throughout the day. I enjoyed making the scarf so I bought a full loom set and tons of thread (线) and started to make woolen hats since it was winter.
I realized the homeless population in my town. really needed some more warm clothes. I started to give away my hats to the people asking for food outside the food shop down the street I live in.
My oldest son Siddhartha got involved in the project and made a hat as well. I found that there was a non-profit organization on the way home, which made masks for farm workers and was asking for winter warm clothing donations. I made a lot of woolen hats and gave them to the organization which would hand them out to farm workers.
Then I, together with my son, made woolen hats for everyone in my family as Christmas gifts, and gave woolen hats to all my neighbors I was close to. There was a new family that moved in down the street. I did not know them very well but why not break the ice with some handmade gifts So I made hats for the mom and one-year-old baby.

【原文】
Did you know that dragons have been popular legends in both Europe and Asia for over 3000 years There is a mention of a dragon in the Bible, but it is associated with evil and considered to be the devil. On the other hand, in China, the dragon is still a symbol of intelligence and power. But the image of the dragon in the East and West was influenced by hundreds of years of contact between Asia and Europe, and dragons came to have some similarities. It is believed that dragons were first imagined in the ancient Middle East.
In fact, there used to be a time when people even believed that they really existed. People used to think that dinosaur bones were dragon bones. It is not clear when people began to think that dragons could breathe fire, but both European and Asia dragons have been painted as having that capability. The Chinese dragon does not have legs or wings like the European dragon. The Russian dragon is often shown as having three heads. Dragons are still quite popular and can be seen in many movies and television programs.

So, bear it in mind to avoid making this sign to Iranians.(在美国人看来，似乎是一种通用的积极姿态，实际上并不是。“不幸的是，在伊朗和邻国，竖起大拇指和竖起中指是一样的！”《发现不适》的作者Dana Hooshmand解释道。在美国，竖起中指表示不尊重； 在伊朗，它拇指。所以，记住不要对伊朗人做这个手势。)”和常识可知，在美国对别人竖起大拇指是可以的。故选D项。

And then, the villancicos——Spanish Christmas carols（颂歌）come.”（九日敬礼有三个部分。首先是阅读: 每个孩子轮流读一本书。接下来是戈佐斯，意思是“快乐”。这就是音乐发挥作用的地方，每个人都能得到一件乐器，一个沙球，一个鼓，一个罐子——任何你能用来发出声音的东西。然后，是维兰西科人——西班牙圣诞颂歌。）可知，第四段主要讲了庆祝九日敬礼节的过程。故选A项。
25．细节理解题。根据第六段“When I asked my parents the other day, the answer was that immigrants didn’t belong anywhere—not where you were, nor where you were from. So my parents helped create a space where we did.”（ 前几天我问我的父母，答案是移民不属于任何地方——不属于你在哪里，也不属于你从哪里来。所以我父母帮我们创造了一个空间。）可知，哥伦比亚家族庆祝九日敬礼节是为找到归属感。故选B项。
26．细节理解题。根据最后一段“It’s getting harder and harder for everyone to get together each year. Last year, I was studying abroad in Italy and couldn’t make it to any gathering; my brother went off to college and had exams late into December; my sister just moved to a new city, and my parents have taken up jobs in different countries.”（ 每年大家聚在一起越来越难了。去年，我在意大利留学，无法参加任何聚会; 我哥哥去上大学，考试一直持续到12月底；我姐姐刚搬到一个新城市，我父母在不同的国家找到了工作。）可知，他们各自忙碌的生活使得哥伦比亚家庭庆祝九日敬礼节变得困难。故选B项。
27．主旨大意题。本文主要叙述了作者一家很早从哥伦比亚移民到美国，他们在美国人庆祝圣诞节前经常庆祝他们自己的节日，以此来找回归属感。但是由于后来家人都各自忙着自己的事，庆祝九日敬礼也变得困难起来。所以短文的最佳标题为“生活在美国的哥伦比亚家族的九日敬礼节”。故选D项。
28．C 29．B 30．D 31．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。冰球爱好者John虽然未能实现自己的冰球职业梦想，但通过参与慈善比赛的方式支持下一代青少年去追求梦想。
28．细节理解题。根据第一段的最后一句“However, a knee injury in his teenage years ended his hopes of a career on the ice. (然而，十几岁时的一次膝盖受伤终结了他在冰上职业生涯的希望。)”可知，他的膝盖受伤结束了约翰的冰球运动员生涯。故选C项。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段的句子“He wanted to suit up and play as the goaltender (守门员) for one period of the game, just for the fun of it and to encourage the younger players. (他想穿上队服，在比赛中担任一段时间的守门员，只是为了好玩，也为了鼓励年轻球员。)”可知，约翰参加慈善比赛是为了激励年轻球员。故选B项。
30．细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“After the game, John surprised everyone by donating his game-worn equipment and a generous check to the local youth sports program. (比赛结束后，约翰把他的比赛装备和一张大额的支票捐给了当地的青少年体育项目，让所有人都大吃一惊。)”可知，比赛结束后约翰捐赠了他的设备和钱。故选D项。
31．推理判断题。通读全文可知，John虽然未能实现自己的冰球职业梦想，但通过参与慈善比赛的方式支持下一代青少年去追求梦想。由此可知，他是一个热心的、对他人有帮助的人。故选A项。
32．B 33．C 34．A 35．D
【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者讲述了自己在异国工作时，遇到了文化差异造成误解。他认识到作为领导应该学习并尊重员工们的本国文化。
32．推理判断题。第二段首句“I didn’t understand the culture well enough to appreciate the unwritten rules. Yet, as CEO of a fast-growing multi-national company, that’s exactly what I needed to learn — and fast.(我不太了解那里的文化，无法欣赏那些不成文的规定。然而，作为一家快速发展的跨国公司的首席执行官，这正是我需要学习的——而且要快)”及第一段“So I started doing that too, as I believed it was the custom, until one day my business partner pulled me aside and said, ‘Can you stop hugging and kissing the receptionist every time you come into the office I think it sends the wrong message.’（所以我也开始这样做，因为我相信这是一种习俗，直到有一天我的商业伙伴把我拉到一边说：‘你能不能不要每次来到公司就拥抱和亲吻接待员吗？我认为这在传递误的信息’）”可知，这篇文章主要讲作者认识到应该了解这个国家的文化，而第一段介绍自己和同事拥抱亲吻脸颊是举例证明由于自己不了解当地文化而发生了误会。故选 B项。
33．细节理解题。根据第四段中“Every culture has its own set of primary cultural drivers. (每种文化都有自己的一套主要文化驱动因素)”可知，文化驱动因素是因国家不同而变化的，下文就是对此举例论证。故选C项。
34．词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Over the years, I have learned to talk openly about these awkward aspects of culture and diversity. They need to be tackled head-on to come to a solution. By doing so, you can build trust and bridge large differences that lead to better productivity, higher levels of innovation, and a more enjoyable company culture that represents every culture that makes up your business.(多年来，我学会了公开谈论文化和多样性的这些棘手的问题。这些问题需要正面解决，才能找到解决办法。通过这样做，你可以建立信任，弥合巨大的差异，从而带来更好的生产力，更高水平的创新，以及一个更愉快的公司文化，代表了构成你业务的每种文化)”可知，作者认为文化差异问题应该正面解决，划线词前的“put these issues on the table(摆到桌面上)”也是这个意思，不能逃避，主动去面对去了解，才有能解决这些问题，划线词的宾语them指代前面issues，由此推测，该词的意思是“解决”与上文的“tackled”呼应。故选A项。
35．主旨大意题。根据第二段“I didn’t understand the culture well enough to appreciate the unwritten rules. Yet, as CEO of a fast-growing multi-national company, that’s exactly what I needed to learn — and fast.(我不太了解那里的文化，无法欣赏那些不成文的规定。然而，作为一家快速发展的跨国公司的首席执行官，这正是我需要学习的——而且要快)”及最后一段“Over the years, I have learned to talk openly about these awkward aspects of culture and diversity. They need to be tackled head-on to come to a solution. By doing so, you can build trust and bridge large differences that lead to better productivity, higher levels of innovation, and a more enjoyable company culture that represents every culture that makes up your business. (多年来，我学会了公开谈论文化和多样性的这些棘手的问题。这些问题需要正面解决，才能找到解决办法。通过这样做，你可以建立信任，弥合巨大的差异，从而带来更好的生产力，更高水平的创新，以及一个更愉快的公司文化，代表了构成你业务的每种文化)”并结合全文可知，作者主要讲自己通过学习了解外国员工们的文化，解决文化差异带来的问题，从而在企业内部之间创建信任。所以短文的标题为 “如何在多元文化中建立信任？”。故选D项。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了更舒适地坐长途火车的方法。
36．由上文“When it comes to comfort, most travelers would pick trains over planes any day. Trains usually offer more leg and elbow room than airplanes. And there are no seat belt signs to keep you from getting up and moving around. (说到舒适度，大多数旅行者每天都会选择火车而不是飞机。火车通常比飞机提供更多的腿部和肘部空间。而且没有安全带标志来阻止你起身和走动。)”可知，这里主要讲作火车比飞机更加舒适，而C项Yet sitting in a seat for hours can still be challenging.(然而，坐在座位上几个小时仍然具有挑战性。)符合语境，其中Yet后内容 与上文形成转折，且本句也引出下句讲怎样更舒适地坐火车的方法，所以本句有承上启下作用。故选C项。

Therefore, you can lie down on overnight rides, or a first-class or business-class seat instead of a spot in coach to land yourself more legroom and a footrest.(这可能意味着预订卧卧铺而不是座位。因此，一整夜你都可以躺在卧铺上，或者坐在头等座或商务座上，而不是坐在硬座上，为自己争取更多的腿部空间和脚踏板。)”可知，这里主要讲升级你的座位，尽量选择卧铺、头等座或商务座等，而E项Upgrading your seat is the best choice if economy allows.(如果经济允许，升级座位是最好的选择。)符合语境，对下文有总括作用。故选E项。

But you’ll need a plan for keeping it charged.(一台有电影和音乐的平板电脑可以在长途火车旅行中成为救星。但你需要一个保持充电的计划。)”可知，这里提到平板电脑充电的问题，而A项Some trains have power ports at every seat.(有些火车的每个座位都有电源端口。)符合语境，其中 power ports 与上文 keeping it charged对应，所以有承上作用。故选A项。
39．由下文“Instead, select clothes with a relaxed fit that are made with soft, stretchy fabrics (纤维织物). Options include loose pants for men and high-rise trousers for women.(相反，选择用柔软有弹性的面料制成的宽松合身的衣服。选项包括男士宽松长裤和女士高腰长裤。)”可知，这里主要讲穿着的问题，而D项This is not the time to pick your tightest skinny jeans.(现在不是挑最紧身牛仔裤的时候。)符合语境，其中tightest skinny jeans与下文 clothes with a relaxed fit 和loose pants 形成对比，有启下作用。故选D项。
40．由上文“Part of the appeal of traveling by train is watching a variety of landscapes slip by outside your window, but once darkness falls — or if you simply need a nap — you might want to escape from the outside world for a while. (坐火车旅行的一部分吸引力在于看着窗外各种各样的风景掠过，但一旦夜幕降临，或者如果你只是需要小睡一会儿，你可能想逃离外面的世界一段时间。)”可知，这里讲到火车上睡觉的问题，而G项Noise-free headphones are recommended if you like to fall asleep to music.(如果你喜欢在音乐声中入睡，建议使用无噪音耳机。)符合语境，其中fall asleep与上文 need a nap对应，有承上作用。故选G项。

Dear Editor,
Knowing that the school newspaper is conducting a discussion on “to be a civilized tourist”, I’d like to express my own views.
It is important to be a civilized tourist, for it not only better protects the beautiful natural scenery resources and historical sites but also helps us gain a pleasant travelling experience. Therefore, we should mind our behavior while going out for sightseeing and relaxation. The first thing we need to take into consideration is that we must respect and follow local customs. Besides, we’d better lower our voices in public places to avoid disturbing others. Lastly, keep it in mind that littering is not allowed.
Only in these ways can we enjoy our trips and become civilized tourists as well.
Yours,
Li Hua

67．One possible version:
The new neighbor had limited knitting skills so she asked me to create sweaters for kids in hospital together. I agreed to the act of kindness because I had always been doing such similar things. In my spare time from babysitting, I was making children’s sweaters. A month later, I had done 20. My new neighbor, my son and I sent our gifts to the hospital. We explained our purpose, handed out sweaters to the parents and wished their kids a quick recovery. They all thanked me for our gifts.
Later, my new neighbor wanted to learn my knitting skills to serve the elderly in the nursing home. She really admired my skills, and I was glad to teach her, so she bought a set of loom just like mine. She quickly mastered the skills. Together we made winter hats for the old people in the nursing home. We soon made enough hats and gave them away to the old people, who needed these things badly. I hope that our gifts will make their life a little more comfortable. I’m happy to continue spreading this love to more people.
【分析】这是一篇读后续写。文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在家带孩子期间，因为时间充裕学会了编织。当意识到自己所在小区有很多无家可归之人后，把自己编织的帽子送给他们。并和自己的大儿子一起织了帽子并通过当地的一些组织送给在农场工作的人。后来作者的新邻居搬来，她准备了自己编织的羊毛帽子作为见面礼送给他们，同时得知邻居在医院工作。
【详解】1.段落续写

②根据首句内容“后来新邻居想向我学习编织技术去为养老院的老人服务。”可知，下文可描写作者教她编织、她们一起为老人织帽子的过程，以及作者的感触。
2.续写线索：邀请——一起织毛衣——送给孩子们——学习编织技术——一起为老人织帽子——感触
