三、阅读理解
We know good manners are important. Today I am going to tell you something about manners in different countries.
I think you may know that people in different countries usually have different ways of doing things. Something that is 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 are having liquid food, such as porridge. That is considered bad manners in Britain. But in Japan, you needn’t worry about making a noise when you drink something. It shows that you are enjoying it. 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 Arabic countries, you mustn’t eat with your left hand. This is considered to be very impolite.
So what should you do if you visit a foreign country Well, you needn’t worry. You can ask the native people there to help you and you can just watch carefully and try to do what they do.

Cultural Differences Between China and Western Countries
There are many cultural differences between China and Western countries, especially in greeting and gift-giving.
In China, people usually greet each other by saying “How are you ” or asking about their family. When we receive gifts, we often open them after the guest leaves. It is a way to show politeness. In Western countries, people often greet each other with a hug or a kiss on the cheek. They usually open gifts immediately and say “Thank you” to show their appreciation.
These differences are not good or bad. We should respect them and learn from each other. Only in this way can we have better cross-cultural communication and make more friends.

During festivals, Indians wear bright and beautiful clothes. They also paint their hands with colorful patterns called “mehndi”, which is a symbol of 46 (happy) and good luck.
Cows are still special there—you can even see them walking freely in the streets, and people often give them food to show their 47 (kind).
When you visit India, remember to follow these customs. It not only helps you avoid mistakes but also lets you know the local culture 48 (well). These interesting customs make India a special country, and they are worth 49 (learn) about and respecting.

答案 B A B B B
1．D
【详解】句意：——有人说Mike考试作弊了。——我毫不怀疑他是诚实的，但我仍然有些怀疑是否他能通过这次艰难的考试。
when什么时候；that无实义；if是否；whether是否。根据句中“or not”可知，此处表示“是否”，whether常与or not连用，而if通常不与or not直接连用，且doubt后的从句表示不确定时常用whether。
2．A
【详解】句意：所有的运动员都对这些令人困惑的规则感到困惑。
confused感到困惑的，常修饰人；confusing令人困惑的，常修饰物。第一空主语players是人，用 confused；第二空修饰的rules是物，用confusing。
3．B
【详解】句意：在一些西方国家，吃饭时大声说话是不礼貌的。
polite有礼貌的；impolite不礼貌的；easy容易的；usual平常的。根据“talk loudly while eating in some western countries”及西方餐桌礼仪常识可知，吃饭时大声说话被视为不礼貌的行为，应填impolite。
4．B
【详解】句意：在中国，第一次见面时亲吻别人是粗鲁的。
polite礼貌的；rude粗鲁的，无礼的；formal正式的；common常见的。根据文化常识，在中国初次见面亲吻别人是不符合礼仪的，被视为“粗鲁的”，rude符合语境。
5．B
【详解】句意：当你与来自不同文化的人交流时，一个简单的微笑能大有帮助。
get along相处融洽，通常需接with；go a long way很有用，大有帮助；sign off停播，签收；hear from收到某人来信/消息。根据语境，微笑在跨文化交流中通常能发挥积极作用。
6．D
【详解】句意：玛丽亚过去常常晚饭后看电视，但现在她习惯于阅读。
used to do sth.过去常常做某事；be used to doing sth.习惯于做某事。第一空表示过去的习惯，应用used to；第二空表示现在习惯的状态，且主语为she，be动词用is，应用is used to。
7．B
【详解】句意：——我可以穿我的 T 恤去参加学校会议吗？——不，它有点太非正式了。你应该穿衬衫。
old旧的；informal非正式的；small小的；big大的。根据答语“No”及建议“You should wear a shirt.”可知，学校会议需要正式着装，T恤显得太非正式了。
8．A
【详解】句意：在大多数西方国家，拜访别人家时带礼物是一种传统。
tradition传统；problem问题；mistake错误；surprise惊喜。句中“bring a gift when you visit someone’s home”是西方国家长期沿袭的社交习俗，属于文化传统，只有tradition符合语境。
9．B
【详解】句意：他有勇气与来自不同文化的人交流。
固定搭配have the courage to do sth.意为“有勇气做某事”，此处应用动词不定式作后置定语修饰名词courage。
10．B

useless无用的；helpful有帮助的；boring无聊的；difficult困难的。根据常识可知，学习不同的文化对我们是有益处的，符合积极价值观。

【导语】本文介绍了印度有趣的传统习俗。
41．句意：我的表哥去印度旅行，并与我分享了一些有趣的和特殊的经历。根据前面的“some”可知，是一些习俗，故使用所给单词的复数形式，应填experiences。
42．句意：我的表哥曾经忘记了这个规则并感到非常尴尬。此处需要一个形容词作表语，根据所给单词可知，embarrassed尴尬的符合题意，故应填embarrassed。
43．句意：但是当地人非常友善，温和地告诉他这个习俗。这里需要副词来修饰动词told，故根据所给单词，应填gently。
44．句意：他们认为用手吃东西会让食物变得更好吃，这也是他们展示对传统饮食习惯的爱的一种方式。“make sth+形容词比较级”意为“使……变得更……”，由于空格前面有more，故直接填所给单词的形容词形式delicious。
45．句意：他们认为用手吃东西会让食物变得更好吃，这也是他们展示对传统饮食习惯的爱的一种方式。eating habits为固定搭配，意为饮食习惯，符合题意，故填eating habits。
46．句意：她们还用色彩斑斓的图案在手上作画，这种图案被称为“美黑迪”，是幸福和好运的象征。a symbol of后面接名词，且and连接幸福和好运，两者应该是并列关系，故应填所给词的名词形式，应填happiness。
47．句意：在那里，牛仍然很特别——你甚至能看到它们在街上自由漫步，人们还常常给它们喂食以示友善。their为形容词性物主代词，后面接名词，根据所给单词kind可知，应填其名词形式，故填kindness。

51． Why should
【详解】句意：我们应该避免在公共场合大声说话，因为这是不礼貌的。划线部分“because it’s impolite”是原因状语从句，对原因提问要用特殊疑问词Why；原句含有情态动词should，在特殊疑问句中，需要将should提到主语we之前，构成疑问语序。
52． What do do
【详解】句意：在日本，人们鞠躬互相问候。划线部分“bow”表示人们互相问候时所做的具体动作，对动作内容提问要用疑问词what。原句主语“People”是复数，谓语动词“bow”是实义动词，变为疑问句时需借助助动词do。结构为“What + 助动词 + 主语 + do ”，其中第二个“do”作为替代动词代替被提问的具体动作。
53．It is important to learn cultural customs.
【详解】分析所给词及标点，本句是肯定句，整体构成“It is+形容词+to do sth.”的固定句型。It“它”，作形式主语；is作系动词；important“重要的”，作表语；to learn cultural customs“学习文化习俗”，不定式短语作真正主语。
54． some advice
【详解】句意：我的表亲建议我了解一下德国的问候习俗。原句中“advised me”是动词短语，意为“建议我”，改为同义句，可改为gave me some advice这一动词短语，意为“给了我一些建议”，两者含义相同，保持句意不变。故填some；advice。
55． so that
【详解】句意：这部电影非常感人，电影院里很多人都哭了。前半句说明电影的特点“touching”，后半句是这个特点导致的结果“many people in the cinema cried”，所以需要用引导结果状语的连词结构：so + 形容词/副词 + that + 句子，表示“如此……以至于……”，其中so修饰形容词“touching”，that引导结果状语从句。
56．例文
