九、阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Give directions in different places
If you ask people of different countries “Could you tell me the way to the post office ”, you will get different answers.
In Japan, people use the landmarks (路标) instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travellers, “Go straight down to the corner. 1 The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within miles. So instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. For example, people will say, “Go north two miles. 2 ”
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions. They will often say, “Follow me.” 3_
Sometimes if a person doesn’t know the answer to your question, he or she, like a New Yorker, might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” 4 They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. A visitor can often get lost in Yucatan.
5 You might not understand a person’s words, but maybe you can understand his or her body language. He or she will usually point to the right direction. Go on in that direction, and you may find the post office!
根据材料内容,从下面五个选项中选出能填入文中空缺处的最佳选项,使短文意思通顺、内容完整。
A.Turn east, and then go another mile.
B.But one thing will happen everywhere.
C.People there think “I don’t know.” is impolite.
D.Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market.
E.Then they will take you through the streets of the city to the post office.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了不同国家(如美国、日本、欧洲各国、德国、英国、意大利等)的人们在见面时所采用的各种问候礼仪及其文化差异。
1.句意:美国人见面时,没有必要握手。根据“When the Americans meet each other, it’s not necessary ... hands.”和备选词汇可知,此处指“握手”,动词shake“摇动”与hands构成固定短语shake hands;It’s not necessary to do sth.“做某事是没有必要的”为固定句式,故此处须用to shake。故填to shake。
2.句意:甚至在第一次见面几秒钟后,他们就可以直呼对方的名字以示友好。根据“Even a few seconds ... they meet for the first time ...”和备选词汇可知,此处表示“在见面几秒钟之后”,介词after“在……之后”符合语境。故填after。
3.句意:甚至在第一次见面几秒钟后,他们就可以直呼对方的名字以示友好。根据“... to show ...”和备选词汇可知,此处需表示“友好”,kind“友好的”符合语境;show kindness为常用搭配,故kind须变为名词形式kindness。故填kindness。
4.句意:不要与日本客人有眼神接触,这是相当不礼貌的。根据“It is rather ...”和备选词汇可知,此处指“不礼貌的”,形容词impolite“不礼貌的”符合语境,在句中作表语。故填impolite。
5.句意:来自大多数欧洲国家的人通常互相拥抱。根据“People from most European ...”和备选词汇可知,此处指“国家”,名词country“国家”符合语境;most后接可数名词复数形式countries。故填countries。
6.句意:但你应该注意在亲吻时最好不要发出声音。根据“But you should ... attention that ...”和备选词汇可知,此处指“注意”,动词pay“支付”与attention构成固定短语pay attention to“注意”;情态动词should后接动词原形。故填pay。
7.句意:女性应该首先拥抱男性,有时男性则应该亲吻女性的手。根据“Women should embrace men ... and sometimes men are supposed to kiss women’s hands.”和备选词汇可知,此处需要一个副词来修饰动词“embrace”,表示动作的先后顺序。one“一”为基数词,须变为其序数词first意为“首先”,说明拥抱这一动作发生在其他可能的行为之前,符合语境。故填first。
8.句意:为了表示你的尊重,你可以在握手时微微鞠躬。根据“To show ... respect you can have a little bow ...”和备选词汇可知,此处表示你的尊重,you“你”,其形容词性物主代词your“你的”,符合语境。故填your。
9.句意:如果你们彼此不是很熟悉,最好不要拥抱或亲吻他们。根据“... you are not very familiar...each other.”和备选词汇可知,此处需介词与familiar搭配,with“和”,介词,familiar with“熟悉”为固定短语,符合语境。故填with。

九、阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Give directions in different places
If you ask people of different countries “Could you tell me the way to the post office ”, you will get different answers.
In Japan, people use the landmarks (路标) instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travellers, “Go straight down to the corner. 1 The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In Kansas, America, there are no towns or buildings within miles. So instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. For example, people will say, “Go north two miles. 2 ”
People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions. They will often say, “Follow me.” 3_
Sometimes if a person doesn’t know the answer to your question, he or she, like a New Yorker, might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don’t know.” 4 They usually give an answer, but often a wrong one. A visitor can often get lost in Yucatan.
5 You might not understand a person’s words, but maybe you can understand his or her body language. He or she will usually point to the right direction. Go on in that direction, and you may find the post office!

A.Turn east, and then go another mile.

Task4 : My choice: Thailand
①. In Thailand, I would expect people to greet me with a "wai" – putting their hands together like praying and bowing their heads slightly.
②I might feel a little surprised at first because it's very different from how we greet in China. But I would also feel respected because the wai is a polite and beautiful gesture.
③To show respect, I would wai back to the person. I would also make sure to bow my head slightly and put my hands together at the right height – not too high and not too low.
④In my city, people usually just say "hello" or "ni hao" and sometimes nod their heads. Close friends might wave or pat each other on the shoulder. The wai is much more formal and graceful than what we do. It feels more respectful.
⑤When I first moved to a new school, I felt strange because everyone greeted each other with high-fives. I wasn't used to it and felt awkward. But after a few weeks, I started doing it too. Now it feels normal to me. This taught me that new things can feel strange at first, but we can get used to them.
