阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
When I first went to Britain，a lot of things seemed strange to me.For example，people drove on the left side of the road and many people carried an umbrella all the time.There were also many other things that I found really __ __．
The first thing I noticed was how polite British people were.When I got on the bus，the driver would greet me；when people got off the bus，they would say “Thank you” to the driver；when I went into a shop，I would be greeted by a smiling salesman who would say，“Can I help you？”
The family I stayed with were very nice，but their house was full of oddities(怪现象).Firstly，there were carpets(地毯)everywhere，even in the bathroom.Also，the bathroom was full of surprises.The first time I tried to wash my hands I burned myself.The cold and hot water came out of different taps(水龙头)! Then，when I tried to dry my hair I couldn't find a socket(插座)for my hairdryer.Maybe that wasn't such a big surprise.More surprising was the fact that British people didn't take their shoes off when they went into a house—can you imagine
I guess that for British people all of these things are normal.
56．The best word for “__ __” is “ ”．
A．successful B．traditional C．exciting D．surprising
57．What happened when the writer first tried to wash his hands in his host family？
A．He burned his hands. B．He couldn't find the tap.
C．There wasn't any water in the tap. D．There was only cold water in the tap.
58．How does the writer develop the passage？
A．By telling a short story. B．By providing some examples.
C．By showing different opinions. D．By comparing research results.
B
When two people meet，there are a lot of ways of greeting.The ways of greeting are not always the same in different countries.
In America，two people usually greet each other with a handshake.It is a way to show respect(尊重) to the other person.Athletes from opposite teams shake hands before a game for _ _ ．However，most Americans don't shake hands when they meet people they have already known well.When American friends meet each other，they might only wave(挥手)，or maybe just nod(点头)their heads.
In New Zealand，there is a special way of greeting called “Hongi”．In the greeting，two people press their noses and foreheads(前额) together and close their eyes.This is an old tradition that comes from the Maori，who were the first people to live in New Zealand.Even today，many New Zealanders still press their foreheads when they meet.
Kissing is sometimes used as a way to greet someone.In some countries，important people used to wear special rings.It was the custom for visitors to kiss these rings when they came for a meeting.In France，when people meet，they sometimes kiss each other on the face.
In Japan，people bow to each other every time they meet.Even family members bow to each other.People decide how low to bow depending on how respected the other person is.
Today，new ways of greeting are created all the time.People can do this with a quick “hi”，a handshake，or even a simple smile.The important thing is that the people they are greeting understand them.
59．The passage mainly talks about ．
A．different ways of greeting B．how to be a polite person
C．how to show respect to others D．ways of saying hello in different languages
60．We can learn from the third paragraph that ．
A．it's impolite to press one's nose in New Zealand

B．Family members in Japan do not bow to each other.
C．In some countries rings were once used for kissing.
D．The ways of greeting are changing over time.
C
In the eyes of many foreigners，Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world.And western hosts sometimes look impolite in the eyes of Chinese guests.It is because the guest host relationship in China is quite different from that in some western countries.
In China，guests are almost like gods.Whenever I enter a Chinese friend's home，there is always fruit on the table for me，and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water.In the west，generally the guest is not a god.Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.
My wife's mother，a very kind Chinese lady，doesn't smoke.When I see some of her guests smoking in her house，as a nonsmoker，I feel unhappy.Usually，I want to stop them directly，but I must realize that in China，to be a good host，she must not do that.
In most North American homes，if you are a guest，and the hosts are not smokers，you should not smoke in their house.At the very least，you should ask，“Is it OK if I smoke？” But don't be surprised if they say，“No，you can't smoke.” In my culture，if you smoke in their house，you are a bad guest，but if they don't allow you to smoke in their house，they are not impolite hosts.
In a word，no matter where you are，the best way to be a good guest is to get used to the habits of your hosts.
62．When a western guest visits a Chinese family，he often ．
A．smokes B．feels like a god
C．brings a cup of tea D．buys some fruit
63．What will the writer probably say if a guest wants to smoke in his house？
A．Let's smoke together. B．Sorry，you can't smoke here.
C．Smoking is a bad habit. D．It's OK if you smoke here.
64．What can be learned from the passage？
A．You're never too old to learn. B．Old habits die hard.
C．When in Rome，do as the Romans do. D．East or west，home is best.
65．What is the best title of the passage？
A．The Best Hosts
B．The Best Guests
C．The Best Hosts and The Best Guests
D．Different Guest host Relationships in Different Cultures
D
If you're traveling to the United States，you need to understand the common way to say hello—a handshake.Friends shake hands.Women，men and even children can shake hands.
Shaking hands also seems simple，but there are some important things to remember.When you shake hands，you must look into the other person's eyes the whole time you're shaking hands.
Shake hands strongly.If you give a weak handshake，the other person might think that you're not kind.They might also feel that you don't like them or you don't want to touch them.Shake hands with men and women the same way.If you shake hands with a very old person or a little child，be careful not to hurt them.
Some people don't know how long to keep shaking.The most common handshake should have three shakes and then you should let go.Don't worry if Americans shake hands a little longer.
Your handshake is like your smile.It's special to you.You need to find a comfortable strong handshake that shows what you are like.Because the handshake allows people to touch，and the hand should be warm，clean and dry.
Put your hands into your pockets before you shake hands.This will warm them.If you know you're going to meet someone，wash your hands so they'll be clean.Everyone gets nervous and your hands may get wet.It isn't a good feeling for the other person.Again，put your hands into your pockets.This will dry them.
66．From Paragraph 1，we know that is the common way to greet in the USA.
A．to bow B．to kiss
C．to hug D．to shake hands
67．People might think you're if you give a weak handshake in America.
A．popular B．unfriendly C．brave D．nervous
68．What is the most important when shaking hands with others according to the passage？
A．Looking into their eyes all the time. B．Shaking hands much strongly.
C．Holding their hands for a long time. D．Touching their hands freely.
69．What does the writer tell us in the last paragraph？
A．The secret to keeping smile. B．The rules to shake hands specially.
C．The key to show feelings. D．The ways to get hands comfortable.
70．What can be a suitable title for the text？
A．How to Greet in the USA B．The Meaning of Handshake
C．Advice for Shaking Hands D．The History of Handshake

阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。
Different Diet Cultures(饮食文化) in the East and West
Food is what we need every day, and there are big differences between Chinese and Western eating habits.
In China, we often have rice, noodles or mantou as our main food.Vegetables are also very popular.Chinese cooking is like an art.Cooks make dishes look nice by having different colours.For example, putting green broccoli, red tomatoes and brown chicken together.And we love sharing food.When we have a meal, there are lots of dishes in the middle of the table.Everyone uses chopsticks to get the food they want.Families and friends sit around, talking and enjoying the delicious food.It makes us feel close and happy.
In Western countries, people usually eat bread, steak(牛排) and potatoes.They care a lot about the nutrition(营养) of food.A meal is made to have the right amount of different nutrients.When it's time to eat, people have their own plate.They use knives and forks.This way of eating gives people their own space while enjoying the fun together with others.
These two kinds of diet cultures come from different histories, places and ways of life.We should respect the differences because we hope to understand the world better.Although they are quite different, they have something in common.For example, they both make people full and happy.Besides, they both bring people closer.
Different tables, same happiness—that's the magic of food culture.

【主旨大意】本文作者讲述了自己与父亲在中国餐厅吃饭的经历，父亲不了解中国的就餐礼仪，做了一些令人尴尬的事情。
31．考查名词。根据“ the Chinese..., Beijing”及常识可知，北京是中国的首都。
32．考查名词。根据上文“Then I advised my father to read the book”可知，此处指父亲拒绝了我的建议。
33．考查形容词。根据“The staff were cleaning tables and were about to go home.”可知，餐厅要关门了，所以是空的。
34．考查比较级。根据“I think it's about to close”可知，此处指这里的人们吃饭比英国人更早，所以饭店要关门了。
35．考查名词。根据“My father pointed to a few things.‘That's what we want，’he said.”可知，爸爸在点菜，所以是给了他们菜单。
36．考查形容词。根据“Don't do that, Dad.”可知，作者知道用筷子敲碗是不礼貌的。
37．考查介词。in the middle of “在……中间”，固定短语，且符合语境。

When I first went to Britain，a lot of things seemed strange to me.For example，people drove on the left side of the road and many people carried an umbrella all the time.There were also many other things that I found really __▲__．
The first thing I noticed was how polite British people were.When I got on the bus，the driver would greet me；when people got off the bus，they would say “Thank you” to the driver；when I went into a shop，I would be greeted by a smiling salesman who would say，“Can I help you？”
The family I stayed with were very nice，but their house was full of oddities(怪现象).Firstly，there were carpets(地毯)everywhere，even in the bathroom.Also，the bathroom was full of surprises.The first time I tried to wash my hands I burned myself.The cold and hot water came out of different taps(水龙头)! Then，when I tried to dry my hair I couldn't find a socket(插座)for my hairdryer.Maybe that wasn't such a big surprise.More surprising was the fact that British people didn't take their shoes off when they went into a house—can you imagine
I guess that for British people all of these things are normal.

When two people meet，there are a lot of ways of greeting.The ways of greeting are not always the same in different countries.
In America，two people usually greet each other with a handshake.It is a way to show respect(尊重) to the other person.Athletes from opposite teams shake hands before a game for the_same_reason．However，most Americans don't shake hands when they meet people they have already known well.When American friends meet each other，they might only wave(挥手)，or maybe just nod(点头)their heads.
In New Zealand，there is a special way of greeting called “Hongi”．In the greeting，two people press their noses and foreheads(前额) together and close their eyes.This is an old tradition that comes from the Maori，who were the first people to live in New Zealand.Even today，many New Zealanders still press their foreheads when they meet.
Kissing is sometimes used as a way to greet someone.In some countries，important people used to wear special rings.It was the custom for visitors to kiss these rings when they came for a meeting.In France，when people meet，they sometimes kiss each other on the face.
In Japan，people bow to each other every time they meet.Even family members bow to each other.People decide how low to bow depending on how respected the other person is.
Today，new ways of greeting are created all the time.People can do this with a quick “hi”，a handshake，or even a simple smile.The important thing is that the people they are greeting understand them.

In the eyes of many foreigners，Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world.And western hosts sometimes look impolite in the eyes of Chinese guests.It is because the guest host relationship in China is quite different from that in some western countries.
In China，guests are almost like gods.Whenever I enter a Chinese friend's home，there is always fruit on the table for me，and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water.In the west，generally the guest is not a god.Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.
My wife's mother，a very kind Chinese lady，doesn't smoke.When I see some of her guests smoking in her house，as a nonsmoker，I feel unhappy.Usually，I want to stop them directly，but I must realize that in China，to be a good host，she must not do that.
In most North American homes，if you are a guest，and the hosts are not smokers，you should not smoke in their house.At the very least，you should ask，“Is it OK if I smoke？” But don't be surprised if they say，“No，you can't smoke.” In my culture，if you smoke in their house，you are a bad guest，but if they don't allow you to smoke in their house，they are not impolite hosts.
In a word，no matter where you are，the best way to be a good guest is to get used to the habits of your hosts.

If you're traveling to the United States，you need to understand the common way to say hello—a handshake.Friends shake hands.Women，men and even children can shake hands.
Shaking hands also seems simple，but there are some important things to remember.When you shake hands，you must look into the other person's eyes the whole time you're shaking hands.
Shake hands strongly.If you give a weak handshake，the other person might think that you're not kind.They might also feel that you don't like them or you don't want to touch them.Shake hands with men and women the same way.If you shake hands with a very old person or a little child，be careful not to hurt them.
Some people don't know how long to keep shaking.The most common handshake should have three shakes and then you should let go.Don't worry if Americans shake hands a little longer.
Your handshake is like your smile.It's special to you.You need to find a comfortable strong handshake that shows what you are like.Because the handshake allows people to touch，and the hand should be warm，clean and dry.
Put your hands into your pockets before you shake hands.This will warm them.If you know you're going to meet someone，wash your hands so they'll be clean.Everyone gets nervous and your hands may get wet.It isn't a good feeling for the other person.Again，put your hands into your pockets.This will dry them.

阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。
Different Diet Cultures(饮食文化) in the East and West
Food is what we need every day, and there are big differences between Chinese and Western eating habits.
In China, we often have rice, noodles or mantou as our main food.Vegetables are also very popular.Chinese cooking is like an art.Cooks make dishes look nice by having different colours.For example, putting green broccoli, red tomatoes and brown chicken together.And we love sharing food.When we have a meal, there are lots of dishes in the middle of the table.Everyone uses chopsticks to get the food they want.Families and friends sit around, talking and enjoying the delicious food.It makes us feel close and happy.
In Western countries, people usually eat bread, steak(牛排) and potatoes.They care a lot about the nutrition(营养) of food.A meal is made to have the right amount of different nutrients.When it's time to eat, people have their own plate.They use knives and forks.This way of eating gives people their own space while enjoying the fun together with others.
These two kinds of diet cultures come from different histories, places and ways of life.We should respect the differences because we hope to understand the world better.Although they are quite different, they have something in common.For example, they both make people full and happy.Besides, they both bring people closer.
Different tables, same happiness—that's the magic of food culture.

72．How do we feel when sitting around, talking and enjoying the food together

Different countries have different eating habits.Before travelling to a foreign country，you need to learn about how local people eat.Perhaps you are always told not to make noise when eating your noodles.Forget that when you're in Japan，because it's a way to show that you enjoy the meal there.It's widely known that Indians eat with their hands.Before you sit down to begin your meal，make sure to wash your hands first.And always eat with your right hand only.Russians eat lunch as their main meal，sometime between 1：00 p．m. and 3：00 p.m.For dinner，they have bread，meat and vegetables.

Dear Lin，
In your letter，you said Anna，a new exchange student from Russia，invited you to join her house warming party.To have a good time，please remember the following things.
It's polite of you to bring some gifts such as bread or flowers.Never take forks or knives as gifts.Don't wear yellow clothes.The Russians think the color is a symbol of something bad.Remember that Russians like sour food.So don't be surprised when you find your food is sour.As for the number，Chinese people like six or eight.But people in Russia like seven.They think it means success.
When in Rome，do as the Romans do.Pay attention to the manners.Your friend will be happy about it.
Yours，
Paul

第四节　听短文填空
下面你将听到一篇短文，短文读两遍。请你听完短文的第二遍朗读后，根据短文的内容和提示，在信息表中相应的横线上填入所缺信息。
Today I'm going to tell you something about table manners in some countries.As you know，people in different countries have different ways of doing things.Something rude in one country may be quite polite in another.For example，in Britain you mustn't lift your bowl to your mouth when you're drinking.And in Japan you needn't worry about making a noise when you drink something.It shows that you are enjoying it.But that's considered a bad manner in Britain.
In Britain we try not to put our hands on the table at all during a meal.In Mexico，however，guests are expected to keep their hands on the table throughout a meal.In France，you are supposed to hold the spoon in your right hand when you have soup.And it's impolite to put elbows on the table.
So what should you do if you visit another country？Well，don't worry.You can ask the native people for help or just watch carefully and try to do as they do.
