二、阅读理解
What comes to your mind when you think of kung fu Maybe the image of Shaolin monks (和尚) posing with a serious look in their eyes. But does it really present the meaning of kung fu
Laurence J. Brahm, a documentary filmmaker from the United States, explored this question in Searching for Kung Fu. In the movie, Brahm traveled to cities in China and the US in search of the value of kung fu.
Brahm himself is a kung fu lover who has been practicing the art for more than 40 years. For him, it is more than a pastime. Ages ago, Brahm was unable to use one of his legs for two years and had to walk with a cane (拐杖). But by practicing martial arts (武术), he was able to recover step by step. Now, kung fu has become a daily activity for him and also the way he begins the day.
Still, there are other deep meanings in the practice. Nonviolence is one value, which is shown both in the name and practice of kung fu. The Chinese character Wu has two parts—ge, meaning “to fight”, and zhi, meaning “to stop”. So, the meaning of kung fu in Chinese is the art of stopping fighting, the art of nonviolence. Kung fu artists always greet people with baoquan. This lets each person know that there are no hidden weapons (武器) and shows trust.
“The traditional values of kung fu, actually, are in the minds of all Chinese people,” Brahm told Xinhua.
24．Why is the first paragraph written
A．To show others’ opinions.
B．To shock the readers.
C．To lead in the topic.
25．What did Brahm want to find out about in the documentary
A．Meanings behind kung fu.
B．Shaolin monks’ daily lives.
C．Real kung fu stars in China.
26．What does Brahm think of kung fu
A．It’s just a way to kill time.
B．It’s a way to stay healthy.
C．It’s the best way to greet people.
27．What does the underlined word “Nonviolence” in Paragraph 4 mean
A．To fight bravely.
B．To stop fighting.
C．To greet people actively.
28．What is the purpose of the story
A．To present the value of kung fu.
B．To introduce a documentary.
C．To show the kindness of Chinese people.
We talked with June Galloway about her book Get off on the Right Foot: Don’t Let the Wrong Gesture (手势) Ruin Your Day.
English is an international language. But in your book, communication without words is paid more attention to. ▲
June：Well, gestures and other body languages have different meanings in different places. Something that you think is friendly or polite could be considered to be very impolite in another culture. I’ve described many of these customs and cultural differences, so my readers won’t get off on the wrong foot when they meet people from places where the culture is different from their own.
Can greeting someone the wrong way really lead to misunderstanding
June：In some places, yes. The heavy handshake that a North American expects may seem quite impolite in other places. And a light handshake—which is usual in some countries—may seem unfriendly to a North American.
What other gestures can cause misunderstanding
June：Take the gesture for “Come here” for example. In North America, people gesture with the palm(掌心) up. Well, in southern Europe, that gesture means “goodbye”. And in many Asian countries, the palm-up gesture is thought rude. Instead, people there gesture with the palm down.
Surely, there must be some gestures used everywhere, right What about the thumb-up(翘拇指)gesture for “great”
June：Sorry. That’s very rude in Australia and the Middle East. That is why it’s important to know about body language and cultural differences.
29．Which of the following can be put in ▲
A．How is it going B．Why is that so important
C．Can you give us some examples D．Could it make readers interested
30．What does June mean by saying “my readers won’t get off on the wrong foot”
A．Her readers won’t hurt others. B．Her readers won’t have a bad start.
C．Her readers won’t know how to walk. D．Her readers will always know where to go.
31．Which gesture should you use if you want to say “goodbye” in southern Europe
A． B． C． D．
32．According to the passage, which is NOT mentioned in June’s book
A．Some common gestures. B．Different meanings of a gesture.
C．The importance of body language. D．The development of body language.
33．Which of the following is TRUE
A．A light handshake is quite polite in North America.
B．June mainly talks about the English language in her book.
C．The book is helpful to those who often travel around the world.
D．If you want to say “great” to an Australian, just make a thumb-up gesture.

Our first evening in Beijing began at about nine o’clock. We walked past an 37 restaurant. The staff were cleaning tables and were about to go home.

A young woman handed us a 40 , all in Chinese. My father pointed to a few things. “That’s what we want,” he said.

Keeping traditions alive (继续存在的) is never an easy thing. Chen Zunkai is the owner (所有者) of Baoyuan Dumpling House. She has spent over 17 years 49 one of the most traditional Chinese foods: dumplings.
Her dumplings are not the white ones simply filled with meat, 50 colorful ones using more than 150 kinds of fillings.
“What I try to do is to make dumplings have a taste of 51 ,” says Chen, “I hope every customer — northerners or southerners, vegetarians (素食主义者) or non-vegetarians, Chinese people or foreigners — can 52 something familiar (熟悉的).”
Chinese dumplings are believed to be more than 2,000 years old. 53 , they are made and eaten 54 people in North China at some festivals, such as the Spring Festival.
For Chen, her idea came after she found that there were not 55 choices for those who prefer lighter fillings. Most vegetarian dumplings have a filling of only two kinds of ingredients (原料), and not one restaurant in Beijing has more than 10 kinds of vegetarian fillings.
“I thought 56 could do better,” says Chen.
Baoyuan Dumpling House has 57 done it. Customers not only find basic meat dumplings at this restaurant, they are also 58 quite a lot of other choices with different colors and exciting tastes.

五、任务型阅读
阅读下面短文,按要求完成1—5 题。
When was the last time you gave or received a hug Do your parents hug you before you go to school In Western countries, it is quite common to greet close friends or relatives with a hug.
You might hug your teammates after winning a basketball game. If your friends are having a bad day, you can hug them to cheer them up. Friends who haven’t seen each other for a long time will usually hug each other when they meet.
Of course, people in different countries have different opinions when it comes to hugging. After coming to China, I’ve noticed that people here are generally more reluctant(不情愿的) to hug than those in my home country, the US.
My Chinese friends told me that hugging is considered to be very intimate(亲密的) in their culture. It usually only happens between people who are really close to each other, like couples. Chinese people don’t usually hug in public, either.
But people’s attitude(态度) towards hugging can also change. I remember watching a video story about a “hugging party” that was held in Shanghai. A local artist held the party, inviting strangers and asking them to hug each other.
The Chinese participants(参与者) clearly looked uncomfortable. However, after the party, several of them changed their mind. They thought that hugging didn’t have to be awkward(令人尴尬的) and could actually be quite nice.
So next time you see your mom or dad, give them a hug.

Dear Joseph，
I am very happy that you will come to China to study. I learned from your letter that you want to know something about the ways Chinese people greet each other and table manners. In China, when people meet for the first time, they will shake hands. And if you meet someone who asks you whether you have eaten, you should know that’s also a way of saying hello. As for table manners, you should know that it is not good to speak loudly when you are eating. And you should wait until the elders start eating. And don’t point at others with chopsticks. If you have any further questions, I will help you.
Yours
