one another, finish, care about, polite, even though, tasty
Different families have different table manners. When we have meals with our family or friends, we should always follow some common rules. It is 1 to talk with food in our mouth or make a lot of noise at the table.
Usually, people in China share dishes, while Western people may eat their own food. 2 different countries have different eating habits, we should always respect them.
At home, we should learn to 3 our family members. We should wait for everyone to sit down before eating. We should also finish our food happily and not leave the table at once.
What’s more, home-made food is usually clean and 4 . When we eat together, we should thank our parents for their hard work. Learning good table manners can help us understand and love 5 better and make our family life warm and happy.
【答案】1．impolite 2．even though 3．care about 4．tasty 5．one another
【导语】本文围绕不同家庭的餐桌礼仪展开，介绍了中外家庭在饮食习惯上的差异，强调了餐桌礼仪的重要性。文章告诉我们，要尊重不同的用餐习惯，关心家人，文明用餐，共同营造温馨和睦的家庭氛围。
1．句意：嘴里含着食物说话或在餐桌上制造很多噪音是不礼貌的。“It is + 形容词 + to do sth.”为固定句型，此处描述不文明的餐桌行为，故需使用polite的反义词impolite（不礼貌的）。
2．句意：即使不同的国家有不同的饮食习惯，我们也应该尊重它们。本句为让步状语从句，空格后为完整句子，even though（即使，虽然）符合句意和语法。
3．句意：在家里，我们应该学会关心我们的家庭成员。learn to do sth.为固定搭配，to后接动词原形，care about（关心，在意）符合语境。
4．句意：而且，家里做的食物通常干净又美味的。and连接并列形容词，修饰前面的food，tasty（美味的）符合句意。
5．句意：学习良好的餐桌礼仪可以帮助我们更好地理解和爱护彼此，让我们的家庭生活温暖幸福。one another（互相，彼此）是固定短语，常用于表示人与人之间的相互关系。
3.拓展培优
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。
When was the last time you gave or received a hug 1 You might hug your teammates after winning a basketball game. If one of your friends is having a bad day, you can hug him or her to cheer him or her up.
2 After coming to China, I noticed most people here are more reluctant (不情愿的) to hug than Americans. My Chinese friends told me that they think hugging is very intimate (亲密的) in their country. 3 Chinese people don’ t usually hug when others are around either. But people’ s attitudes to hugging can also change.
I remember watching a video story about a “hugging party” in Shanghai. A local artist held the party, inviting strangers and asking them to hug each other. The Chinese clearly looked uncomfortable. 4 They made a decision. Hugging doesn’ t have to be uncomfortable. It can actually be quite nice. So next time you see your mum or dad, give them a hug—see how it makes you feel.
A．Hugging is not the only way to comfort others.
B．It usually only happens between people really close to each other.
C．In Western countries, it is common to greet close friends or relatives with a hug.
D．However, after the party, several of them changed their minds.
E．People in different countries have different opinions on hugs.
【答案】1．C 2．E 3．B 4．D
【导语】本文介绍了拥抱在不同文化中的意义与差异，对比了西方和中国的拥抱习惯，并通过上海“拥抱派对”的例子说明人们对拥抱的态度可以改变。
1．前文提问“你上次拥抱或被拥抱是什么时候”，后文举例比赛后拥抱队友、安慰朋友时拥抱，选项C“In Western countries, it is common to greet close friends or relatives with a hug”介绍西方拥抱的常见场景，衔接下文的具体例子，逻辑通顺。
2．后文对比了中美两国人对拥抱的不同态度，选项E“People in different countries have different opinions on hugs”总领不同国家对拥抱的看法差异，引出下文的文化对比，衔接自然。
3．前文提到中国朋友认为拥抱是很亲密的行为，选项B“It usually only happens between people really close to each other”解释拥抱在中国的适用范围，呼应前文“intimate”的描述，衔接顺畅。
4．前文提到“拥抱派对”上中国人看起来很不舒服，后文说他们做出了决定，拥抱也可以很美好，选项D“However, after the party, several of them changed their minds”说明派对后人们的态度转变，衔接前后文的情绪变化，逻辑通顺。
九、阅读理解。
Today, with the development of society, people all over the world have the same hobbies. That is to say, we are not very different in some ways. However, cultures are still quite different. In the East and in the West, social rules are not the same.
In the East, it takes a long time to become someone’s friend. However, when people become friends, they will know each other very well and share almost everything in their lives. When people from the West meet you, they will call you a friend right away. That doesn’t mean they are close to you. When people from the East meet you, they want to know about your salary (薪水) and whether you have been married or not. For people from the West, these are not polite questions. They think these kinds of questions violate their privacy (隐私).
Family is important to everyone. In the East, kids live with their parents for a long time. They still listen to their parents’ advice after they grow up. However, in the West, independence is very important. After the kids grow up, they leave home and don’t need to listen to their parents’ advice anymore.
In the East and in the West, people think differently, too. People in the West think about small details (细节). They also think less and act more. But in the East, people pay attention to relationships between things, and they often keep their opinions quiet.
1．The passage is probably from the part of ________ in a newspaper.
A．business B．culture C．health D．hobby
2．What does the underlined word “violate” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Protect. B．Respect. C．Break. D．Replace.
3．What is the difference in making friends between the East and the West
A．Becoming friends in the East takes longer than in the West.
B．Calling a person a friend in the West means you know him well.
C．It’s common to ask others about their salary while making friends in the East.
D．Becoming friends means you can share anything with each other in the East.
4．What do the kids in the West need to do after they grow up
A．They don’t have to live with their parents.
B．They need to show their learning skills.
C．They still need to follow their parents’ advice.
D．They think more and act less to be independent.
5．What’s the main idea of the last paragraph
A．Different thinking habits.
B．Importance of independence.
C．Different relationships between friends.
D．Independence in dealing with the family.
【答案】1．B 2．C 3．A 4．A 5．A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要对比了东西方在交友方式、家庭观念和思维方式上的文化差异。
1．推理判断题。根据全文内容可知，文章主要讨论东西方文化的差异，包括交友、家庭和思维方式等方面。根据文章第1段“cultures are still quite different”和第2-4段的具体对比可知，主题与“文化”相关。故选B。
2．词句猜测题。根据文章第2段“When people from the East meet you, they want to know about your salary (薪水) and whether you have been married or not. For people from the West, these are not polite questions. They think these kinds of questions violate their privacy (隐私).”可知，当来自东方的人们见到你时，他们首先会询问你的薪水以及你是否已婚。对于西方人来说，这些问题并不礼貌。由此可知，询问薪水或婚姻状况是“侵犯隐私”的行为，“violate”应意为“违反、侵犯”。故选C。
3．细节理解题。根据文章第2段“In the East, it takes a long time to become someone’s friend… When people from the West meet you, they will call you a friend right away”可知，在东方，要成为某人的朋友需要很长时间，而西方人见到你时，会立刻称你为朋友。因此，在东方结交朋友所需的时间要比在西方长得多。故选A。
4．细节理解题。根据文章第3段“in the West, independence is very important. After the kids grow up, they leave home”可知，西方孩子成年后独立生活，不再与父母同住。故选A。
5．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“people think differently… in the West… small details… in the East… relationships between things”可知，本段主要讨论东西方思维习惯的差异。故选A。
十、阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
In many cultures, being a good guest is highly valued. However, what makes a good guest can be different from one country to another.
In China, guests are often treated like royalty. When you visit a Chinese home, you can expect to be offered tea, fruit, and snacks. The host will do everything to make you feel comfortable. In return, guests are expected to show appreciation and not be too demanding.
In Western countries, the guest-host relationship is often more relaxed. Guests are expected to be independent and follow the host’s routine. For example, if the host says “Make yourself at home”, it means you can feel free to get a drink or use the bathroom without asking.
One common rule everywhere is to bring a small gift when you are invited. It shows that you value the host’s invitation. Also, it is polite to offer help with cleaning up after a meal, though the host may refuse.
When in doubt, it is always a good idea to ask. A simple question like “Is there anything I can do to help ” shows that you are considerate.
1.What can a guest expect when visiting a Chinese home
_________________________________________________________________________
2.In Western countries, what does “Make yourself at home” usually mean
_________________________________________________________________________
3.What is a common rule for guests everywhere
_________________________________________________________________________
4.What should you do if you are not sure about the custom

5.What do you think is the most important quality of a good guest Why
_________________________________________________________________________
【答案】1．They can expect to be offered tea, fruit, and snacks. 2．It means guests can feel free to get a drink or use the bathroom without asking. 3．Bringing a small gift when invited. 4．You should ask politely. 5．I think being considerate is the most important quality because it shows you care about the host’s feelings and efforts.
【导语】本文介绍了中西方不同的做客礼仪，说明了成为一名好客人的标准因国家而异，并给出了世界各地通用的做客建议。
1．由文章第二段“When you visit a Chinese home, you can expect to be offered tea, fruit, and snacks.”可直接提取信息。
2．由文章第三段“if the host says ‘make yourself at home’, it means you can feel free to get a drink or use the bathroom without asking.”可直接提取信息。
3．由文章第四段“One common rule everywhere is to bring a small gift when you are invited.”可直接提取信息。
4．由文章第五段“When in doubt, it is always a good idea to ask.”可总结得出答案。
5．本题为开放性试题，围绕体贴、有礼貌、感恩等品质，结合文章内容合理作答即可。
十一、完形填空。
We all know that the same gesture or behaviour can have different 1 in different cultures. Here are some examples.
In many Asian countries, it is common to 2 off your shoes before entering someone’s home. But in many Western countries, people often keep their shoes 3 inside. If you visit a friend in Japan, you might feel embarrassed if you forget to remove your shoes. 4 , in the United States, your host might find it strange if you start taking off your shoes at the door.
5 is another interesting example. In China, nodding your head usually means “yes”, while shaking your head means “no”. But in Bulgaria, it is the 6 . People nod for “no” and shake for “yes”. This can cause confusion for travellers.
Personal space also 7 from culture to culture. In Latin American countries, people often stand very close when talking. 8 in Northern Europe, people prefer to keep more distance. If you stand too close to someone in Finland, they might feel 9 .
What about giving gifts In China, it is polite to 10 a gift with both hands. The receiver usually waits until the giver leaves to open it. But in many Western countries, people open gifts 11 in front of the giver to show appreciation.
Even the simple act of eating can be different. In some cultures, 12 all the food on your plate means you enjoyed the meal. In others, leaving a little food shows that the host gave you 13 food. And while eating, it is considered rude in many places to 14 loudly or talk with your mouth full.
Learning about cultural differences helps us avoid misunderstandings. The golden rule is: when in doubt, 15 and follow what the locals do. Being observant is the best way to show respect.
1．A．purposes B．meanings C．results D．effects
2．A．put B．turn C．take D．get
3．A．off B．on C．out D．in
4．A．Therefore B．Otherwise C．However D．Moreover
5．A．Handshake B．Eye contact C．Head movement D．Body language
6．A．same B．similar C．opposite D．different
7．A．learns B．comes C．hears D．varies
8．A．So B．While C．Because D．If
9．A．comfortable B．happy C．uncomfortable D．excited
10．A．accept B．receive C．hold D．present
11．A．secretly B．immediately C．nervously D．carefully
12．A．finishing B．tasting C．smelling D．cooking
13．A．enough B．little C．much D．plenty
14．A．laugh B．speak C．chew D．drink
15．A．ask B．observe C．leave D．change
【答案】
1．B 2．C 3．B 4．C 5．C 6．C 7．D 8．B 9．C 10．D 11．B 12．A 13．A 14．C 15．B
【导语】本文介绍了不同文化中相同手势或行为可能具有不同的含义，涉及脱鞋、点头摇头、个人空间、赠送礼物、用餐习惯等方面的文化差异，最后建议通过观察当地人来避免误解。
1．句意：我们都知道，相同的手势或行为在不同文化中可能有不同的含义。
此处指手势或行为所传达的“含义”，应用meanings。purposes“目的”、results“结果”、effects“效果”均不符合语义。
2．句意：在许多亚洲国家，进入别人家之前脱鞋是很常见的。
take off shoes是固定短语，意为“脱鞋”。put off“推迟”、turn off“关闭”、get off“下车”均不表示脱鞋。
3．句意：但在许多西方国家，人们通常穿着鞋进屋。
keep shoes on表示“穿着鞋不脱”，与上文脱鞋形成对比。off“脱下”、out“在外面”、in“在里面”均不符合此处表达。
4．句意：然而，在美国，如果你在门口开始脱鞋，主人可能会觉得奇怪。
前文讲在日本脱鞋是礼貌，后文讲在美国脱鞋奇怪，前后转折关系，应用However。Therefore“因此”、Otherwise“否则”、Moreover“而且”均不符合逻辑。
5．句意：头部动作是另一个有趣的例子。
下文讨论点头和摇头在不同文化中的含义，因此主题是“头部动作”，应用Head movement。Handshake“握手”、Eye contact“眼神交流”、Body language“身体语言”范围太宽。
6．句意：但在保加利亚，情况正好相反。
前文说中国点头表示“是”，摇头表示“否”；后文说保加利亚点头表“否”，摇头表“是”，这是完全相反的情况，应用opposite。same“相同”、similar“相似”、different“不同的”均不准确。
7．句意：个人空间也因文化而异。
vary from...to...表示“因……而异”，是固定搭配。learns“学习”、comes“来自”、hears“听到”均不符合。
8．句意：而在北欧，人们更愿意保持更大的距离。
前文讲拉丁美洲站得近，后文讲北欧保持距离，两者对比，应用While表示转折对比。So“所以”、Because“因为”、If“如果”均不表示对比。
9．句意：如果你在芬兰站得离某人太近，他们可能会感到不舒服。
根据文化差异，北欧人喜欢保持距离，站太近会让他们“不舒服”，应用uncomfortable。comfortable“舒服的”、happy“高兴的”、excited“兴奋的”均与语境相反。
10．句意：在中国，用双手赠送礼物是礼貌的。
“accept”意为接受，“receive”意为收到，“hold”意为拿着，“present”意为赠送。句中说“用双手”是送礼时的动作，应选“present”，表示呈上礼物。
11．句意：但在许多西方国家，人们会立即在送礼者面前打开礼物，以示感谢。
与中国的“等送礼者离开后再打开”相反，西方国家习惯“立即”打开，应用immediately。secretly“秘密地”、nervously“紧张地”、carefully“仔细地”均不符合。
12．句意：在某些文化中，吃完盘子里的所有食物意味着你喜欢这顿饭。
finishing all the food 表示“吃完所有食物”。tasting“品尝”、smelling“闻”、cooking“烹饪”均不符合。
13．句意：在另一些文化中，剩下一点食物表示主人给了你足够的食物。
“enough”意为足够的，“little”意为少量的，“much”意为许多（常修饰不可数名词，但此处作定语），“plenty”意为充足（常与of连用）。剩下一点意味着主人提供得充足，吃不完，故选“enough”。
14．句意：在许多地方，吃饭时大声咀嚼或满嘴食物说话被认为是粗鲁的。
“laugh”意为笑，“speak”意为说话，“chew”意为咀嚼，“drink”意为喝。与“talk with your mouth full”并列的应是咀嚼行为，故选“chew”。
15．句意：黄金法则是：有疑问时，观察并跟随当地人的做法。
observe表示“观察”，与后文“Being observant”呼应。ask“问”、leave“离开”、change“改变”均不符合。

【范文中文翻译】
亲爱的汤姆，
带一些水果或花是个好主意。别担心用筷子，你可以礼貌地要一把叉子。餐桌上，记得不要把筷子插进饭里。你可以谈论食物、旅行或爱好，但要避免问年龄或收入。跟我家人打招呼时，只要微笑点头说“你好”就行了。第一印象很重要，但如果你犯点小错误我们也能理解。做你自己，享受这顿饭吧！
祝好，

When was the last time you gave or received a hug 1 You might hug your teammates after winning a basketball game. If one of your friends is having a bad day, you can hug him or her to cheer him or her up.
2 After coming to China, I noticed most people here are more reluctant (不情愿的) to hug than Americans. My Chinese friends told me that they think hugging is very intimate (亲密的) in their country. 3 Chinese people don’ t usually hug when others are around either. But people’ s attitudes to hugging can also change.
I remember watching a video story about a “hugging party” in Shanghai. A local artist held the party, inviting strangers and asking them to hug each other. The Chinese clearly looked uncomfortable. 4 They made a decision. Hugging doesn’ t have to be uncomfortable. It can actually be quite nice. So next time you see your mum or dad, give them a hug—see how it makes you feel.
A．Hugging is not the only way to comfort others.
B．It usually only happens between people really close to each other.
C．In Western countries, it is common to greet close friends or relatives with a hug.
D．However, after the party, several of them changed their minds.
E．People in different countries have different opinions on hugs.

Today, with the development of society, people all over the world have the same hobbies. That is to say, we are not very different in some ways. However, cultures are still quite different. In the East and in the West, social rules are not the same.
In the East, it takes a long time to become someone’s friend. However, when people become friends, they will know each other very well and share almost everything in their lives. When people from the West meet you, they will call you a friend right away. That doesn’t mean they are close to you. When people from the East meet you, they want to know about your salary (薪水) and whether you have been married or not. For people from the West, these are not polite questions. They think these kinds of questions violate their privacy (隐私).
Family is important to everyone. In the East, kids live with their parents for a long time. They still listen to their parents’ advice after they grow up. However, in the West, independence is very important. After the kids grow up, they leave home and don’t need to listen to their parents’ advice anymore.
In the East and in the West, people think differently, too. People in the West think about small details (细节). They also think less and act more. But in the East, people pay attention to relationships between things, and they often keep their opinions quiet.

十、阅读下面短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
In many cultures, being a good guest is highly valued. However, what makes a good guest can be different from one country to another.
In China, guests are often treated like royalty. When you visit a Chinese home, you can expect to be offered tea, fruit, and snacks. The host will do everything to make you feel comfortable. In return, guests are expected to show appreciation and not be too demanding.
In Western countries, the guest-host relationship is often more relaxed. Guests are expected to be independent and follow the host’s routine. For example, if the host says “Make yourself at home”, it means you can feel free to get a drink or use the bathroom without asking.
One common rule everywhere is to bring a small gift when you are invited. It shows that you value the host’s invitation. Also, it is polite to offer help with cleaning up after a meal, though the host may refuse.
When in doubt, it is always a good idea to ask. A simple question like “Is there anything I can do to help ” shows that you are considerate.

We all know that the same gesture or behaviour can have different 1 in different cultures. Here are some examples.
In many Asian countries, it is common to 2 off your shoes before entering someone’s home. But in many Western countries, people often keep their shoes 3 inside. If you visit a friend in Japan, you might feel embarrassed if you forget to remove your shoes. 4 , in the United States, your host might find it strange if you start taking off your shoes at the door.
5 is another interesting example. In China, nodding your head usually means “yes”, while shaking your head means “no”. But in Bulgaria, it is the 6 . People nod for “no” and shake for “yes”. This can cause confusion for travellers.
Personal space also 7 from culture to culture. In Latin American countries, people often stand very close when talking. 8 in Northern Europe, people prefer to keep more distance. If you stand too close to someone in Finland, they might feel 9 .
What about giving gifts In China, it is polite to 10 a gift with both hands. The receiver usually waits until the giver leaves to open it. But in many Western countries, people open gifts 11 in front of the giver to show appreciation.
