三、阅读理解
A
China has a long history of over 5,000 years. What can stand for (代表) China in foreign students’ eyes The newspaper reporter interviewed (采访) some foreign students.
Tom, America The Great Wall is a symbol (象征) of China in my eyes. It’s one of the ancient walls in the world. I went to the Great Wall with my family last year. I enjoyed the beautiful scenery (风景) when we got to the top.
Jill, Canada China is the name of a country. But the word china also means porcelain (瓷器). I think porcelain is the symbol of China. Chinese people invented it, so China is called “the nation of porcelain”. Chinese porcelain is very famous around the world. It is so beautiful that all my family like it. I even have a Chinese porcelain vase (花瓶) in my bedroom.
Grace, France In my eyes, chopsticks can stand for China. They are quite different from our tableware (餐具)—forks and knives. It is hard but fun for me to learn how to use chopsticks. However, learning to use chopsticks also helps me know more about the table manners in China. I bought some beautiful chopsticks as gifts when I returned to France.
Joe, England When I think of China, dumplings come into my mind. Families in China always get together and make dumplings during festivals. When my family visited China, I learned how to make dumplings from my Chinese friends. We talked and laughed. It was a wonderful experience.
21．In Tom’s eyes, _______ can stand for China.
A．the Great Wall B．porcelain C．chopsticks

Emojis (表情符号) are a fun way to express ourselves while sending messages. But did you know that the same emoji can mean very different things in different cultures This can cause misunderstandings or even trouble if you’re not careful enough. Let’s take a closer look at some emojis and their surprising cultural meanings.
Let’s start with the thumbs-up (竖大拇指) emoji. In many Western countries, people use it widely to show agreement or to praise a job well done. However, in some parts of the Middle East, West Africa and South America, people see it as rude, similar to giving someone the middle finger (手指).
The OK hand sign also has many kinds of cultural meanings. In the US and Europe, it simply means “everything is fine” or “perfect”. However, people in Brazil and Türkiye think it is an impolite gesture (手势). Even more interestingly, in France, it stands for “zero” or “nothing”. Clearly, this emoji’s meaning truly changes a lot across different cultures!
The folded hands emoji also carries different meanings. In Western cultures, many people take it as a high-five—a gesture of celebration. But in most Asian cultures, it is a way to express thanks or greet others.
The crossed fingers emoji can also get you into trouble. In the UK, the US and Canada, crossing fingers is a common way to wish someone good luck. However, in Vietnam, you’d better think twice before using the gesture, as it has an unexpected negative meaning there.
Understanding these cultural differences can help avoid misunderstandings when communicating across cultures.
26．In which part of the world do people think the thumbs-up is rude
A．Asia. B．The Middle East.
C．North America. D．Australia.
27．Which of the following has the most meanings according to the article
A． B． C． D．
28．What can we learn about the folded hands emoji
A．Western people use it to show anger.
B．Many Asian people use it to say hi.
C．It has the same meaning in all cultures.
D．It is impolite in most European countries.
29．What should people avoid doing when meeting someone from Vietnam
A．Using folded hands to say thanks.
B．Giving the thumbs-up to praise them.
C．Crossing fingers for good luck.
D．Making the OK sign for perfection.
30．What is the main purpose of this article
A．To encourage people to use emojis widely.
B．To suggest some new ways to use emojis.
C．To introduce the development of emojis.
D．To explain emojis’ different cultural meanings.

【导语】本文讲述了作者和父母去英国笔友Tom家做客，体验英国文化习俗、交流中国春节，收获跨文化经历的故事。
1．句意：去年夏天，我和父母拜访了他家。
根据时间状语Last summer，可知句子时态为一般过去时，需用动词过去式，应选用visited。visit是动词原形，visits是动词第三人称单数，均用于一般现在时，时态不符。
2．句意：当我们到达时，Tom的家人用一个温暖的拥抱迎接我们。
根据固定搭配greet sb. with sth.（用某物迎接某人），可知需用介词with。 for为了，at在，均不符合。
3．句意：在英国，见面时握手或拥抱是有礼貌的。
根据上下文，拥抱是英国的友好问候方式，需用褒义形容词，应选用polite，表示“有礼貌的”。rude粗鲁的； strict严格的，均不符合语境。
4．句意：吃饭时，Tom 告诉我不应该张着嘴大声吃饭，这在他的文化里是不礼貌的。
此处修饰动词eat，需用副词，noisily是副词，意为“吵闹地”；noisy是形容词，noisiest是形容词最高级，均不能修饰动词。
5．句意：我非常喜欢它（炸鱼薯条）。
全文时态为一般过去时，需用动词过去式，应选用loved。love是动词原形，用于一般现在时，时态不符； loving是现在分词，不能单独作谓语，语法错误。
6．句意：晚饭后，我们谈论了不同的文化。
形容词different后接可数名词复数，应选用cultures，“different cultures”表示“不同的文化”，符合语境。culture是单数，不符合语法要求； cultural是形容词，不能作talk about的宾语，语法错误。
7．句意：他想知道我们如何庆祝它（春节）。
how引导宾语从句，因句子描述春节的常规庆祝方式，是事实，故用一般现在时，主语 we 是复数，用动词原形，应选用celebrate。celebrated是过去式，用于一般过去时，时态不符； celebrates是第三人称单数，主语为we，形式不符。
8．句意：Tom 说他想要有一天来中国体验它。
主句Tom said是一般过去时，宾语从句需用相应的过去时态，应选用wanted。want是原形， wants是第三人称单数，均用于一般现在时，时态不符。
9．句意：“我们有多么有趣的跨文化经历啊！” 我爸爸说。
此句是感叹句，中心词是名词experiences，需用What引导感叹句，应选用What，“What + 形容词 + 可数名词复数 + 主语 + 谓语”是正确的感叹句结构。 How用于引导中心词为形容词 或副词的感叹句，结构不符；Where用于引导特殊疑问句，不用于感叹句，语法错误。
10．句意：我希望我能更多地了解其他文化，并且交更多的外国朋友。
“learn more about other cultures”和“make more foreign friends”是并列的递进关系，需用并列连词，应选用and，表示“并且”，连接两个并列的动作，符合逻辑。 but但是，表示转折，逻辑不符；or或者，表示选择，逻辑不符。
11．C 12．B 13．A 14．D 15．A 16．B 17．A 18．B 19．A 20．B
【导语】本文主要讲述作者去年夏天和家人去印度旅行的经历，介绍当地习俗、学校见闻、美食体验等，展现这次经历的独特性与收获。
11．句意：那真是一次令人惊叹的经历。
根据后文对印度旅行中独特习俗、友好学生等内容的描述，可知这是一次“令人惊叹的”经历，boring“无聊的”；challenging“富有挑战性的”； worrying“令人担心的”，都不符合语境。
12．句意：那里的习俗与我们的非常不同。
根据下文“People usually greet each other with a … bow, which shows respect.”可知，这是当地的“习俗”。
13．句意：人们通常互相行一个轻微的鞠躬礼，以表示尊重。
结合文化常识，印度表示尊重的鞠躬是“轻微的”。heavy“沉重的”；quick“快速的”；slow“缓慢的”，不符合语境。
14．句意：学生们非常友好，想要给我们展示他们的传统舞蹈。
根据“The students were very friendly and … to show us their traditional dances.”可知，学生们很友好，“想要”给我们展示他们的传统舞蹈，“ want to do sth”是“想要做某事”的意思，符合语境。“refuse to do sth” 表示“拒绝做某事”之意；“agree to do sth”是“同意做某事”的意思，故排除。
15．句意：我被他们的热情深深感动了。
由“by their enthusiasm”可知，作者被深深“感动”。bored “无聊的”和confused“困惑的”及disappointed“失望的”均与逻辑不符。
16．句意：有些菜很辣，但其他的却出乎意料地美味。
印度食物的特点是多“辣”，结合常识，可知用“hot”。
17．句意：一件有趣的事情是，那里的人吃饭时喜欢用手，而不是筷子或叉子。
根据“instead of chopsticks or forks”及“One interesting thing was …”可知，印度人吃饭用“手”。
18．句意：起初我们觉得很难，但经过一些练习后，我们就习惯了。
因为之前没用手吃过饭，所以一开始觉得“困难”。easy “容易的”； interesting“有趣的”； boring“无聊的”均不符合语境。
19．句意：这次旅行让我意识到了解不同文化的重要性。
“importance”是“重要性”的意思，符合语境。difficulty“ 困难”；trouble“麻烦”；success“成功”均不符合语境。
20．句意：它开阔了我的眼界，也教会我尊重不同的习俗。
结合前文对印度文化及习俗尊重等内容，可知这次经历教会作者“尊重”不同习俗。forget“忘记” ；change“改变”； refuse“拒绝”均与语境不符。
21．A 22．C 23．C 24．C 25．C
【导语】本文是一篇采访报道，主要讲述了在外国学生眼中什么能代表中国。记者采访了来自美国、加拿大、法国和英国的四位外国学生，他们分别表达了自己认为能代表中国的象征物，包括长城、瓷器、筷子和饺子，并阐述了相关原因。
21．第二段提到“The Great Wall is a symbol (象征) of China in my eyes.”，这是Tom对于什么能代表中国的观点，直接说明在Tom眼中，长城能代表中国。
22．第三段提到“It is hard but fun for me to learn how to use chopsticks. However, learning to use chopsticks also helps me know more about the table manners in China.”，这表明学习使用筷子虽然有难度，但能带来乐趣并让人了解中国餐桌礼仪，是有意义的，所以对Grace来说学习使用筷子是有意义的。
23．最后一段提到“When my family visited China, I learned how to make dumplings from my Chinese friends. We talked and laughed. It was a wonderful experience.”，结合前文可知，这里描述的是学习包饺子的经历，所以“It”指代的是学习包饺子。
24．第二段提到“I went to the Great Wall with my family last year.”，这是Tom所说的话，说明Tom去年和家人去了长城，C选项正确。
25．文章开头提出“What can stand for (代表) China in foreign students’ eyes ”，接着采访了四位外国学生，让他们阐述自己认为能代表中国的象征物，所以作者写这篇文章是为了介绍在外国学生眼中什么能代表中国。
26．B 27．D 28．B 29．C 30．D
【导语】本文主要介绍了不同表情符号在不同文化中含义不同。
26．根据第二段“However, in some parts of the Middle East, West Africa and South America, people see it as rude, similar to giving someone the middle finger (手指).”可知，在中东、西非和南美洲的一些地区，人们认为竖大拇指很粗鲁。
27．第二段列出了竖大拇指的两种含义（赞同/粗鲁）；第三段列出了OK手势的三种含义（没问题/不礼貌/零）；第四段列出了双手合十的两种含义（庆祝/感谢问候）；第五段列出了交叉手指的两种含义（祈求好运/负面含义），所以OK手势是其中含义最多的。
28．根据第四段“But in most Asian cultures, it is a way to express thanks or greet others.”可知，许多亚洲人用双手合十的表情符号来打招呼。
29．根据倒数第二段“However, in Vietnam, you’d better think twice before using the gesture, as it has an unexpected negative meaning there.”可知，在越南，交叉手指表情符号有负面含义，所以遇到越南人时，人们应该避免交叉手指以求好运。
30．阅读全文可知，本文解释了表情符号的不同文化含义，提醒人们在跨文化交流中注意这些差异，避免误解或冒犯。
31．A 32．B 33．C 34．D 35．E

Emojis (表情符号) are a fun way to express ourselves while sending messages. But did you know that the same emoji can mean very different things in different cultures This can cause misunderstandings or even trouble if you’re not careful enough. Let’s take a closer look at some emojis and their surprising cultural meanings.
Let’s start with the thumbs-up (竖大拇指) emoji. In many Western countries, people use it widely to show agreement or to praise a job well done. However, in some parts of the Middle East, West Africa and South America, people see it as rude, similar to giving someone the middle finger (手指).
The OK hand sign also has many kinds of cultural meanings. In the US and Europe, it simply means “everything is fine” or “perfect”. However, people in Brazil and Türkiye think it is an impolite gesture (手势). Even more interestingly, in France, it stands for “zero” or “nothing”. Clearly, this emoji’s meaning truly changes a lot across different cultures!
The folded hands emoji also carries different meanings. In Western cultures, many people take it as a high-five—a gesture of celebration. But in most Asian cultures, it is a way to express thanks or greet others.
The crossed fingers emoji can also get you into trouble. In the UK, the US and Canada, crossing fingers is a common way to wish someone good luck. However, in Vietnam, you’d better think twice before using the gesture, as it has an unexpected negative meaning there.
Understanding these cultural differences can help avoid misunderstandings when communicating across cultures.
