Last year, I was at home doing my homework when an earthquake suddenly happened. At first, I felt the floor shaking slightly. I thought it was just a small shake, so I didn’t pay much attention. But soon, the shaking became stronger and stronger. The books on the shelf fell off, and the chandelier (吊灯) above my head was swinging heavily.
I remembered what my teacher taught me about earthquake safety: stay calm, hide under a strong table, and hold on to the table legs. I quickly crawled under my desk and covered my head with my hands. My parents were in the living room. I heard my dad shout, “Stay under the table! Don’t move!”
The earthquake lasted for about two minutes. When it stopped, we slowly came out from under the furniture. We checked the house and found that some windows were broken, and a bookshelf had fallen over. But luckily, no one in my family was hurt.
After that, we turned on the radio to get news about the earthquake. We learned that many houses in the nearby town were damaged, and some people were sent to the hospital. The government soon sent rescue teams to help. This experience made me know how important it is to learn about disaster safety.

Thailand is known as the “Land of Smiles”. When you spend your holiday in Thailand, you’d better keep these simple tips in mind.
Personal image (个人形象) is very important in Thailand as a sign of respect for other people. Your clothes should be tidy, clean and free from holes. Shorts and sleeveless (无袖的) shirts are impolite in temples. Remember that you need to take off your shoes when entering rooms. So don’t wear shoes that are not easy to put on and take off. The rules are even stricter for foreign visitors, so even if you see a local in shorts, it’s not OK for you.
It’s not polite to touch a Thai on the head, including children. For Thais, the head is the most sacred (神圣的) part of the body. At the same time, don’t touch people with your feet, or even point with them because they think feet are the lowest and dirtiest. When sitting on the ground, try to sit in a way that doesn’t show others the bottoms of your feet.
Always keep the rules of saving face in mind. Keep your cool even when things go wrong; you’ll be respected for doing so. For example, don’t complain (抱怨) when your bus breaks down. Instead, smile and say “mai pen rai”.
32．Which of the following are bad manners in Thailand
① Wear clean and tidy clothes.
② Touch a lovely baby’s head.
③ Show someone the bottoms of your feet.
④ Take off your shoes before entering a room.
⑤ Wear shorts or jeans with holes.
⑥ Avoid showing strong anger or shouting in public places.
A．①④⑤⑥ B．③④⑥ C．②③⑤ D．②③⑥
33．Why shouldn’t people touch others or point at others with their feet in Thailand
A．Because Thais use feet to take off shoes in temples.
B．Because Thais think feet are the lowest and dirtiest part of the body.
C．Because showing the bottoms of feet is a way to save face.
D．Because using feet will make others complain in public.
34．Which has the same meaning as “mai pen rai”
A．My pleasure. B．I’m sorry about that.
C．It’s OK. Don’t worry. D．That’s great.

China is a nation of etiquette (礼仪). Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world. If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they would be surprised at the warmth that they would receive as guests.
When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve you snacks like biscuits or candy. Someone in the family will also talk with you, never letting you feel lonely.
At the same time, other family members will prepare a meal for you. Chinese people treat their guests with a big meal. They always prepare more food than the guests can eat. At the table, the guests must be the first to eat. Perhaps one of the things that surprises a Western guest most is that some Chinese hosts like to pick up food for visitors, which won’t happen at Western tables. The Chinese families go out of their way to make you feel at home. As you finish eating, the host usually says, “It seems that you didn’t eat much. Please have more.” Although you tell them you are full, they still put more food in your bowl.
Being warm and hospitable has long been an important part of Chinese culture and tradition. As Confucius (孔子) said thousands of years ago: To meet friends from afar, how happy we are!
36．What does the underlined word “hospitable” in Paragraph 1 mean
A．Welcoming. B．Hard-working. C．Creative. D．Nervous.
37．What will the host probably do for you when you visit a Chinese family
①Make tea. ②Prepare a meal. ③Serve some snacks. ④Have a party.
A．①②④ B．①②③ C．①③④ D．②③④
38．Why does a Western visitor feel surprised when the host picks up food for him
A．Because it makes him happy.
B．Because he thinks it’s not necessary.
C．Because he doesn’t like the food.
D．Because it won’t happen in Western countries.
39．Why do Chinese families do so much for their guests
A．To show their wealth (财富).
B．To make the guests feel at home.
C．To make the guests feel uncomfortable.
D．To show they know much about the guests.

四、任务型阅读
阅读下面短文，简略回答问题。
Trees are really cool! They can tell us a lot about how the climate is changing.
Some trees can live for a very long time, like hundreds or even thousands of years. They just stand there and see all the changes in the weather on earth.
When you look at a tree stump (树桩), you may find that the top of the stump has many rings. These rings are like a tree’s storybook. Each ring shows one year of the tree’s life. They can tell us the age of the tree and the weather changes.
First year growth.
The light-coloured rings are wood that grew in the spring and early summer, while the dark-coloured rings are wood that grew in the late summer and fall. One light-coloured ring and one dark-coloured ring make one year of the tree’s life.
Dry season. Rainy season. Tree rings are usually wider in warm, wet years and are thinner in years when it is cold and dry. If the tree has experienced hard times, such as a drought (干旱), the tree might hardly grow at all in those years.
Scar (疤痕) from a forest fire.
In most areas, detailed daily weather records have only been kept for the past 100 to 150 years, but trees can help scientists learn a lot about the climate from hundreds or thousands of years ago. That’s why trees are so important!
41．What can we know from tree rings
42．When did the dark-coloured rings grow
43．If the tree rings are thinner, what kind of environment did the tree grow in
44．What does the scar mean in the picture
45．What do you think of tree rings after reading the text
