你将听到一篇短文。短文后有五个小题，请根据短文内容，在每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出一个最佳选项。短文读两遍。
Chinese often ask “Where are you going？” when two friends meet on the street. But if you ask Americans the same question， they will be surprised because they think that going to some places is their own business. In their eyes， only a policeman will ask such a question on the street.
The same thing will happen to Americans if you ask them“Have you had your meal？”. In fact， to Chinese， such questions do not mean anything but a greeting.
In America， when two friends meet on the street， they will say “Hello！” or “How are you？”. If two friends meet at the mealtime and one asks the other “Have you had your meal？”， that means he wants to invite his friend to have a meal with him.
The examples above tell us that people in different countries have different customs. Now we are learning foreign languages， and we must pay great attention to their customs.
(　　)11.How will Americans feel if they are asked “Where are you going？”
A.They'll feel embarrassed. B.They'll feel surprised. C.They'll feel excited.
(　　)12.Who can ask “Where are you going？” in America according to the text？
A.Businessmen. B.Friends. C.Policemen.
B
C
(　　)13.What does the question “Have you had your meal？” mean in Americans' eyes？

A.How are you？ B.Hello！ C.What's wrong with you？
A

Our new foreign students are going to arrive very soon and here are some ways to communicate with them correctly. How close do you stand when you talk to a
friend？ You can stand close to people in the Middle East， a bit closer to Indians， but not too close to North Americans. Do you know how to touch people politely？ Chinese girls often walk arm in arm with their friends. South Americans sometimes hold your arm when they talk to you.
But in Britain， many people don't like other people to touch or hug them at all. Do you look at people when you talk？ In some places， it isn't polite to look at people when you talk， but in other countries， it isn't polite to look away. In Britain and the USA， people usually look at each other when they talk. And how do you say goodbye？ That's easy. Wave to say goodbye. But be careful in Greece. It's quite rude.

On a weekend during Spring Festival， my parents and I were sitting in a restaurant. The drinks and food were good. When we finished， my father called the waiter and asked for the bill(账单). It was a lovely meal， so my father left some money as a tip. As we were ready to open the door to leave， the waiter caught up with us. He gave the tip back to us. At first， we felt surprised. Then my dad remembered that here in China， tipping is not common.
However， in some countries， tipping is the custom. That's the way it is in the US. It's said to be good manners to tip those in the service sector(行业)， including your waiter， taxi driver， hairdresser， doorman and so on. We often give tips according to how the service we get is. The better the service is， the higher the tip will be. But we usually give a tip between 15％ and 20％ of the bill. It can really put your maths skills to the test！
So why is there a strong custom of tipping？ In the US， waiters usually have a very low income(收入). It's not enough to raise a family. But they can make more money from tips. As a US writer once wrote about her experience as a waitress， “It was difficult and I lived and died by my tips.”
(　　)59.How much would someone tip the waiter for an 80-dollar meal in the US？
A.5 dollars. B.15 dollars.
C.25 dollars. D.80 dollars.
B
(　　)60.What do the writer's words “It was difficult and I lived and died by my tips.” mean？
A.The writer didn't care much about tips.
B.The writer had high income besides tips.
C.The writer had a very easy life through getting tips.
D.The writer's life was hard and tips were important to make a living.
D
(　　)61.What is the text mainly about？
A.Having a meal in China.
B.Some customs in China.
C.How to give a tip in the US.
D.Tipping customs in China and the US.

Whether it's putting your elbows on the table or talking with a mouth full of food， everyone has to watch their manners at some time. Manners have developed over thousands of years and are always changing. Around 100 years
ago， children weren't allowed to speak unless parents spoke to them first. Now young people can make their voices heard in many places.
Manners also mean different things in different countries. Eating food loudly is considered rude in some countries， but in others it's a sign that people are enjoying their meal. What do you think？ Are manners important？
Many old people think so. They say kind words and actions are good to everyone. When someone has good manners， it shows they care about other people's feelings and want them to be comfortable. In other words， well-mannered people make the world a happier place. Manners also help keep everyone healthy， which is why people should cover their mouths when they cough and keep dirty feet off seats.
　▲　 They hold the idea that manners make people act in a way that doesn't mean how they really feel. If someone says “thank you” or “sorry” when they don't mean it， they're not being polite. In Europe， manners were a way of showing how rich a person was， but does it really matter what type of knife people use to eat fish？ As long as people are kind to others， they should be allowed to act how they like.
(　　)62.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3？
A.We need to care about others.
B.Good manners are very important.
C.Well-mannered people make us happy.
D.You can be healthy with good manners.
B
(　　)63.Which of the following can be put in 　▲　？
A.However， some young men don't think so.
B.However， some manners are not accepted by young men.
C.Besides， people should pay more attention to different customs.
D.What's more， manners are not only important， but also necessary.
A
(　　)64.What can we learn from this text？
A.Saying sorry certainly means being polite.
B.Eating fish with a knife shows you're rich.
C.Coughing with the mouth covered is strange.
D.Eating loudly can be good manners sometimes.
D
(　　)65.What's the best title for the text？
A.The Development of Manners
B.Manners in Different Countries
C.Different Opinions about Manners
D.The Disagreement Between the Old and Young

①New Year is a wonderful time for family and friends to welcome the new year. Celebrations worldwide include music， special food， and fireworks， though at different times.
②In the UK， many get together in London on December 31 to see Big Ben and count down to midnight. They then sing Auld Lang Syne to remember loved ones. In the US， a famous tradition is the ball drop in New York's Times Square. Huge crowds watch and wish each other “Happy New Year！” when the ball reaches the bottom.
③The Chinese New Year， or Spring Festival， is highly important. Customs include sweeping houses， hanging couplets， setting off fireworks， and performing lion or dragon dances. A key tradition is the family reunion dinner on New Year's Eve， where generations(世代) get together to share food and express wishes， stressing the importance of family in Chinese culture.
④In Egypt， people celebrate Sham El-Nessim in April， meaning “smelling the breeze”， to mark spring's arrival. As weather brightens and nature flowers， people paint eggs symbolizing new life， enjoy picnics，
dance， sing， and watch plays.
⑤Although New Year festivals differ around the world， they share a common belief： It is a special time to connect with family and friends and express hope for the coming year.

Communication is more than just words. Across the globe， people use body language—gestures， facial expressions， and postures—to express feelings and ideas. However， these silent signals can mean very different things depending on where you are.
In many Western countries， a firm handshake is a common greeting that shows confidence. In Japan， people often bow instead. The deeper the bow， the more respect shown. Meanwhile， in India， pressing palms together near the chest (called Namaste) is a traditional sign of welcome. Eye contact also varies widely. While direct eye contact is seen as honest in the United States， in some Asian and African cultures， avoiding eye contact is a sign of respect， especially when speaking to elders.
Gestures with hands can be particularly tricky. For example， the “thumbs-up” gesture is positive in Europe but rude in parts of the Middle East. Even nodding and shaking the head don't always mean “yes” and “no.” In Bulgaria， nodding means “no，” while shaking the head side to side means “yes.”
Personal space preferences also differ. In Latin America， people tend to stand closer during conversations， while Nordic(北欧的) people prefer about an arm's length of distance. Additionally， touching someone's head in Thailand is considered deeply disrespectful， as it is viewed as sacred(神圣的).
Understanding these differences is important in today's globalized world. Misreading body language can lead to misunderstandings， but learning these unspoken rules helps build trust and connection.
(　　)69.In India， what traditional gesture is used to show welcome？
A.Bowing deeply.
B.A firm handshake.
C.Avoiding eye contact.
D.Pressing palms together near the chest.
D
(　　)70.Which can best describe the “thumbs-up” gesture in parts of the Middle East？
A.Active. B.Embarrassing.
C.Impolite. D.Confusing.
(　　)71.What does the underlined word “it” refer to？
A.The personal space. B.Thailand.
C.The head. D.The distance.
C

(　　)72.What is the main purpose of the text？

第二节　阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求)。
F
Everyone loves receiving gifts， and across cultures， presents are an important way to show care and love. However， traditions are not the same in every country.
As a European living in China， I have seen some interesting differences. For example， while fruit and milk are common gifts here， in my culture， they might be a better choice when you are visiting someone in the hospital.
When you get invited to a dinner party， a bottle of fine wine is also a good gift. Still， it's best to check if your hosts drink wine in their daily life.
Many Europeans will usually open their presents right away， except in places like Germany. It's also important to take off the price tag before giving gifts.
What can you do if you don't like your gift？ In Spain， you still need to say you love the gift to avoid hurting the other person's feelings. But if they remember to leave the receipt(收据) inside the gift， which is a very common practice in Spain， you can just exchange it for something else.
Re-gifting is another good idea， as long as the present looks new. Jennifer Molski from Chicago has turned re-gifting into a nice project， collecting gifts people didn't want for those in need， CBS News reported.
How the present looks is also important. However， by using wrapping paper for every present we buy， we produce a lot of waste. Many Germans use high-quality wrapping paper to make their presents more delicate(精致的)， but some of them are now choosing newspaper or maps to protect the environment.
Do Europeans give money as gifts？ Yes. Polish couples， for example， often request cash at weddings to cover the cost of the venue and meals.
Finally， remember： It's the thought that counts， not the size or the cost of the gift.
73.What do most Europeans usually do after receiving gifts？(不超过5个词)
___________________________________________________________________
74.How do many Germans make their presents more delicate？(不超过10个词)
___________________________________________________________________75.Do you agree with re-gifting？ Why or why not？(不超过15个词)
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Open their presents right away.

Yes. Because it helps reduce waste and benefits those in need.(开放性作答，言之有理即可。)

Here I'd like to introduce different eating cultures to you.
Chinese people eat with chopsticks， but Westerners eat with forks and knives. Chinese people often eat rice， noodles， dumplings， zongzi， mooncakes and so on， while Westerners usually have beef， bread， pizza， hamburgers and sandwiches. When it comes to table manners， Chinese people prefer to let the elders eat first.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
They like talking while eating. Westerners don't wave their knives or forks. And they don't like making any noise while eating. They think it's rude to eat with their mouth open.
I think it's important for us to know different eating cultures. When in Rome， do as the Romans do.
Thanks!

Most cultures in the world have some similarities. However， there re often some big differences that go with these similarities. These 　31　 differences can cause some very embarrassing moments. It is something that no one wants to experience.
My grandfather is from Italy， so I live in an environment rich in Italian culture. In Italian culture， kissing each other hello and goodbye is 　32　. You ll see family members hug and kiss each other goodbye， or you ll see best friends give a kiss on the cheek. I do this all the time to my family members. However， one night I decided I d try it among all my friends who are mainly Irish people and come from a strong British background. What 　33　 was really embarrassing. A girl， who I have known for a long time， came up to me to say hello at a party. I gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. The reaction(反应) I got was something out of a comedy movie. She gave me a 　34　 as if to say， “Joe， what the hell was that？” All my friends began to think I 　35　 her past the point of friends， but in fact it was not that case. Rumours(谣言) began to spread， and I had to 　36　 myself. It was such a(n) 　37　 situation if you ask me.
I often 　38　 cultural differences. They re not fun， 　39　 when someone from a different background misunderstands the total situation. The best thing to do is to try and understand the other person s cultural norms(行为规范)， and try not to 　40　 them. However， every person is different and it s fairly difficult to read a person when you re just meeting them. As life goes on， we ll have the chance to learn about other people and their cultures.

I never thought a handshake before and after a job interview was a form of etiquette(礼仪)， and no one told me. In fact， it is 　41　 to have a three－second handshake that starts the interview and another one right after it.
Once， I was at a job 　42　. After the interview， I had already got out of the manager s room when I realized I had forgotten to shake his hand with a “thank you”. So I 　43　 to his office， went straight to him and offered my hand. What a disaster！ I felt so embarrassed. I thought I must look 　44　 at that moment. Clearly， I failed the interview. I still remember that funny memory until today.
Another time， I 　45　 a wedding dinner. It was the first time I had dinner at such an expensive restaurant. On the table there were more than 10 kinds of special 　46　 I had never tried before. While eating， my Chinese friend was telling me about how people usually cooked them. I couldn t understand most of what she said except for the Pan Tow and I ignored(不理) what she said. After dinner， I was asked which dish I 　47　 most.
“I loved the Pan Tow！” I 　48　 at once.
There was a moment of silence， and then she explained that a Pan Tow was not a dish but the pan on which the dish was cooked.
Could you 　49　 my face？ It was terribly hot.
These two things taught me to present myself in the best possible manner. Remember to listen 　50　 when people talk with you and think twice before you speak.

Greeting is a useful way to communicate with others. People in different places have different greeting manners. Here are some interesting ones.
　　Cheek kisses are common in so many countries across the world. In France， the number of kisses is from once to four times from city to village. But twice is by far the most common. In Spain， Brazil， Germany， Italy， and other countries， people also greet each other by kissing cheeks.
　　In Xizang， people usually greet each other by sticking out their tongues. The greeting tradition began from monks， who would stick out their tongues to show that they came in peace.
　　Clapping hands is the way to greet each other in Zimbabwe and Mozambique. In Zimbabwe， people clap hands as part of saying hello. The first person claps once， and the second person claps twice in response.

On a weekend during Spring Festival， my parents and I were sitting in a restaurant. The drinks and food were good. When we finished， my father called the waiter and asked for the bill(账单). It was a lovely meal， so my father left some money as a tip. As we were ready to open the door to leave， the waiter caught up with us. He gave the tip back to us. At first， we felt surprised. Then my dad remembered that here in China， tipping is not common.
However， in some countries， tipping is the custom. That s the way it is in the US. It s said to be good manners to tip those in the service sector(行业)， including your waiter， taxi driver， hairdresser， doorman and so on. We often give tips according to how the service we get is. The better the service is， the higher the tip will be. But we usually give a tip between 15％ and 20％ of the bill. It can really put your maths skills to the test！
So why is there a strong custom of tipping？ In the US， waiters usually have a very low income(收入). It s not enough to raise a family. But they can make more money from tips. As a US writer once wrote about her experience as a waitress， “It was difficult and I lived and died by my tips.”
(B)59.How much would someone tip the waiter for an 80－dollar meal in the US？
A.5 dollars. B.15 dollars. C.25 dollars. D.80 dollars.
(D)60.What do the writer s words “It was difficult and I lived and died by my tips.” mean？
A.The writer didn t care much about tips.
B.The writer had high income besides tips.
C.The writer had a very easy life through getting tips.
D.The writer s life was hard and tips were important to make a living.
(D)61.What is the text mainly about？
A.Having a meal in China. B.Some customs in China.
C.How to give a tip in the US. D.Tipping customs in China and the US.
C
Whether it s putting your elbows on the table or talking with a mouth full of food， everyone has to watch their manners at some time. Manners have developed over thousands of years and are always changing. Around 100 years ago， children weren t allowed to speak unless parents spoke to them first. Now young people can make their voices heard in many places.
Manners also mean different things in different countries. Eating food loudly is considered rude in some countries， but in others it s a sign that people are enjoying their meal. What do you think？ Are manners important？
Many old people think so. They say kind words and actions are good to everyone. When someone has good manners， it shows they care about other people s feelings and want them to be comfortable. In other words， well－mannered people make the world a happier place. Manners also help keep everyone healthy， which is why people should cover their mouths when they cough and keep dirty feet off seats.
　▲　 They hold the idea that manners make people act in a way that doesn t mean how they really feel. If someone says “thank you” or “sorry” when they don t mean it， they re not being polite. In Europe， manners were a way of showing how rich a person was， but does it really matter what type of knife people use to eat fish？ As long as people are kind to others， they should be allowed to act how they like.
(B)62.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3？
A.We need to care about others. B.Good manners are very important.
C.Well－mannered people make us happy. D.You can be healthy with good manners.
(A)63.Which of the following can be put in 　▲　？
A.However， some young men don t think so.
B.However， some manners are not accepted by young men.
C.Besides， people should pay more attention to different customs.
D.What s more， manners are not only important， but also necessary.
(D)64.What can we learn from this text？
A.Saying sorry certainly means being polite. B.Eating fish with a knife shows you re rich.
C.Coughing with the mouth covered is strange. D.Eating loudly can be good manners sometimes.
(C)65.What s the best title for the text？
A.The Development of Manners B.Manners in Different Countries
C.Different Opinions about Manners D.The Disagreement Between the Old and Young

①New Year is a wonderful time for family and friends to welcome the new year. Celebrations worldwide include music， special food， and fireworks， though at different times.
②In the UK， many get together in London on December 31 to see Big Ben and count down to midnight. They then sing Auld Lang Syne to remember loved ones. In the US， a famous tradition is the ball drop in New York s Times Square. Huge crowds watch and wish each other “Happy New Year！” when the ball reaches the bottom.
③The Chinese New Year， or Spring Festival， is highly important. Customs include sweeping houses， hanging couplets， setting off fireworks， and performing lion or dragon dances. A key tradition is the family reunion dinner on New Year s Eve， where generations(世代) get together to share food and express wishes， stressing the importance of family in Chinese culture.
④In Egypt， people celebrate Sham El－Nessim in April， meaning “smelling the breeze”， to mark spring s arrival. As weather brightens and nature flowers， people paint eggs symbolizing new life， enjoy picnics， dance， sing， and watch plays.
⑤Although New Year festivals differ around the world， they share a common belief： It is a special time to connect with family and friends and express hope for the coming year.
(D)66.What do the UK and US celebrations have in common？
A.They are exactly the same. B.They both focus on music and food.
C.They are less important than others. D.They both have big countdown events in cities.
(B)67.What does “smelling the breeze” mean in the Egyptian festival？

Communication is more than just words. Across the globe， people use body language—gestures， facial expressions， and postures—to express feelings and ideas. However， these silent signals can mean very different things depending on where you are.
In many Western countries， a firm handshake is a common greeting that shows confidence. In Japan， people often bow instead. The deeper the bow， the more respect shown. Meanwhile， in India， pressing palms together near the chest (called Namaste) is a traditional sign of welcome. Eye contact also varies widely. While direct eye contact is seen as honest in the United States， in some Asian and African cultures， avoiding eye contact is a sign of respect， especially when speaking to elders.
Gestures with hands can be particularly tricky. For example， the “thumbs－up” gesture is positive in Europe but rude in parts of the Middle East. Even nodding and shaking the head don t always mean “yes” and “no.” In Bulgaria， nodding means “no，” while shaking the head side to side means “yes.”
Personal space preferences also differ. In Latin America， people tend to stand closer during conversations， while Nordic(北欧的) people prefer about an arm s length of distance. Additionally， touching someone s head in Thailand is considered deeply disrespectful， as it is viewed as sacred(神圣的).
Understanding these differences is important in today s globalized world. Misreading body language can lead to misunderstandings， but learning these unspoken rules helps build trust and connection.
(D)69.In India， what traditional gesture is used to show welcome？
A.Bowing deeply. B.A firm handshake.
C.Avoiding eye contact. D.Pressing palms together near the chest.
(C)70.Which can best describe the “thumbs－up” gesture in parts of the Middle East？
A.Active. B.Embarrassing. C.Impolite. D.Confusing.
(C)71.What does the underlined word “it” refer to？
A.The personal space. B.Thailand. C.The head. D.The distance.
(C)72.What is the main purpose of the text？
A.To compare spoken and unspoken languages.
B.To explain how globalization affects communication.
C.To highlight(强调) cultural differences in body language.
D.To criticize(批判) misunderstandings between cultures.

Everyone loves receiving gifts， and across cultures， presents are an important way to show care and love. However， traditions are not the same in every country.
As a European living in China， I have seen some interesting differences. For example， while fruit and milk are common gifts here， in my culture， they might be a better choice when you are visiting someone in the hospital.
When you get invited to a dinner party， a bottle of fine wine is also a good gift. Still， it s best to check if your hosts drink wine in their daily life.
Many Europeans will usually open their presents right away， except in places like Germany. It s also important to take off the price tag before giving gifts.
What can you do if you don t like your gift？ In Spain， you still need to say you love the gift to avoid hurting the other person s feelings. But if they remember to leave the receipt(收据) inside the gift， which is a very common practice in Spain， you can just exchange it for something else.
Re－gifting is another good idea， as long as the present looks new. Jennifer Molski from Chicago has turned re－gifting into a nice project， collecting gifts people didn t want for those in need， CBS News reported.
How the present looks is also important. However， by using wrapping paper for every present we buy， we produce a lot of waste. Many Germans use high－quality wrapping paper to make their presents more delicate(精致的)， but some of them are now choosing newspaper or maps to protect the environment.
Do Europeans give money as gifts？ Yes. Polish couples， for example， often request cash at weddings to cover the cost of the venue and meals.
Finally， remember： It s the thought that counts， not the size or the cost of the gift.
73.What do most Europeans usually do after receiving gifts？(不超过5个词)
Open their presents right away.
74.How do many Germans make their presents more delicate？(不超过10个词)
By using high－quality wrapping paper.
75.Do you agree with re－gifting？ Why or why not？(不超过15个词)
Yes. Because it helps reduce waste and benefits those in need.(开放性作答，言之有理即可。)

Dear classmates， as we all know， there are differences between Chinese and Western culture.Here I d like to introduce different eating cultures to you.
Chinese people eat with chopsticks， but Westerners eat with forks and knives. Chinese people often eat rice， noodles， dumplings， zongzi， mooncakes and so on， while Westerners usually have beef， bread， pizza， hamburgers and sandwiches. When it comes to table manners， Chinese people prefer to let the elders eat first. They like talking while eating. Westerners don t wave their knives or forks. And they don t like making any noise while eating. They think it s rude to eat with their mouth open.
I think it s important for us to know different eating cultures. When in Rome， do as the Romans do.

Ⅲ.短文理解
你将听到一篇短文。短文后有五个小题，请根据短文内容，在每小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出一个最佳选项。短文读两遍。
Chinese often ask “Where are you going？” when two friends meet on the street. But if you ask Americans the same question， they will be surprised because they think that going to some places is their own business. In their eyes， only a policeman will ask such a question on the street.
The same thing will happen to Americans if you ask them“Have you had your meal？”. In fact， to Chinese， such questions do not mean anything but a greeting.
In America， when two friends meet on the street， they will say “Hello！” or “How are you？”. If two friends meet at the mealtime and one asks the other “Have you had your meal？”， that means he wants to invite his friend to have a meal with him.

Most cultures in the world have some similarities. However， there re often some big differences that go with these similarities. These 　31　 differences can cause some very embarrassing moments. It is something that no one wants to experience.
My grandfather is from Italy， so I live in an environment rich in Italian culture. In Italian culture， kissing each other hello and goodbye is 　32　. You ll see family members hug and kiss each other goodbye， or you ll see best friends give a kiss on the cheek. I do this all the time to my family members. However， one night I decided I d try it among all my friends who are mainly Irish people and come from a strong British background. What 　33　 was really embarrassing. A girl， who I have known for a long time， came up to me to say hello at a party. I gave her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. The reaction(反应) I got was something out of a comedy movie. She gave me a 　34　 as if to say， “Joe， what the hell was that？” All my friends began to think I 　35　 her past the point of friends， but in fact it was not that case. Rumours(谣言) began to spread， and I had to 　36　 myself. It was such a(n) 　37　 situation if you ask me.
I often 　38　 cultural differences. They re not fun， 　39　 when someone from a different background misunderstands the total situation. The best thing to do is to try and understand the other person s cultural norms(行为规范)， and try not to 　40　 them. However， every person is different and it s fairly difficult to read a person when you re just meeting them. As life goes on， we ll have the chance to learn about other people and their cultures.

B
I never thought a handshake before and after a job interview was a form of etiquette(礼仪)， and no one told me. In fact， it is 　41　 to have a three－second handshake that starts the interview and another one right after it.
Once， I was at a job 　42　. After the interview， I had already got out of the manager s room when I realized I had forgotten to shake his hand with a “thank you”. So I 　43　 to his office， went straight to him and offered my hand. What a disaster！ I felt so embarrassed. I thought I must look 　44　 at that moment. Clearly， I failed the interview. I still remember that funny memory until today.
Another time， I 　45　 a wedding dinner. It was the first time I had dinner at such an expensive restaurant. On the table there were more than 10 kinds of special 　46　 I had never tried before. While eating， my Chinese friend was telling me about how people usually cooked them. I couldn t understand most of what she said except for the Pan Tow and I ignored(不理) what she said. After dinner， I was asked which dish I 　47　 most.
“I loved the Pan Tow！” I 　48　 at once.
There was a moment of silence， and then she explained that a Pan Tow was not a dish but the pan on which the dish was cooked.
Could you 　49　 my face？ It was terribly hot.
These two things taught me to present myself in the best possible manner. Remember to listen 　50　 when people talk with you and think twice before you speak.

Greeting is a useful way to communicate with others. People in different places have different greeting manners. Here are some interesting ones.
　　Cheek kisses are common in so many countries across the world. In France， the number of kisses is from once to four times from city to village. But twice is by far the most common. In Spain， Brazil， Germany， Italy， and other countries， people also greet each other by kissing cheeks.
　　In Xizang， people usually greet each other by sticking out their tongues. The greeting tradition began from monks， who would stick out their tongues to show that they came in peace.
　　Clapping hands is the way to greet each other in Zimbabwe and Mozambique. In Zimbabwe， people clap hands as part of saying hello. The first person claps once， and the second person claps twice in response.

On a weekend during Spring Festival， my parents and I were sitting in a restaurant. The drinks and food were good. When we finished， my father called the waiter and asked for the bill(账单). It was a lovely meal， so my father left some money as a tip. As we were ready to open the door to leave， the waiter caught up with us. He gave the tip back to us. At first， we felt surprised. Then my dad remembered that here in China， tipping is not common.
However， in some countries， tipping is the custom. That s the way it is in the US. It s said to be good manners to tip those in the service sector(行业)， including your waiter， taxi driver， hairdresser， doorman and so on. We often give tips according to how the service we get is. The better the service is， the higher the tip will be. But we usually give a tip between 15％ and 20％ of the bill. It can really put your maths skills to the test！
So why is there a strong custom of tipping？ In the US， waiters usually have a very low income(收入). It s not enough to raise a family. But they can make more money from tips. As a US writer once wrote about her experience as a waitress， “It was difficult and I lived and died by my tips.”
(B)59.How much would someone tip the waiter for an 80－dollar meal in the US？
A.5 dollars. B.15 dollars. C.25 dollars. D.80 dollars.
(D)60.What do the writer s words “It was difficult and I lived and died by my tips.” mean？
A.The writer didn t care much about tips.
B.The writer had high income besides tips.
C.The writer had a very easy life through getting tips.
D.The writer s life was hard and tips were important to make a living.
(D)61.What is the text mainly about？
A.Having a meal in China. B.Some customs in China.
C.How to give a tip in the US. D.Tipping customs in China and the US.
C
Whether it s putting your elbows on the table or talking with a mouth full of food， everyone has to watch their manners at some time. Manners have developed over thousands of years and are always changing. Around 100 years ago， children weren t allowed to speak unless parents spoke to them first. Now young people can make their voices heard in many places.
Manners also mean different things in different countries. Eating food loudly is considered rude in some countries， but in others it s a sign that people are enjoying their meal. What do you think？ Are manners important？
Many old people think so. They say kind words and actions are good to everyone. When someone has good manners， it shows they care about other people s feelings and want them to be comfortable. In other words， well－mannered people make the world a happier place. Manners also help keep everyone healthy， which is why people should cover their mouths when they cough and keep dirty feet off seats.
　▲　 They hold the idea that manners make people act in a way that doesn t mean how they really feel. If someone says “thank you” or “sorry” when they don t mean it， they re not being polite. In Europe， manners were a way of showing how rich a person was， but does it really matter what type of knife people use to eat fish？ As long as people are kind to others， they should be allowed to act how they like.
(B)62.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3？
A.We need to care about others. B.Good manners are very important.
C.Well－mannered people make us happy. D.You can be healthy with good manners.
(A)63.Which of the following can be put in 　▲　？
A.However， some young men don t think so.
B.However， some manners are not accepted by young men.
C.Besides， people should pay more attention to different customs.
D.What s more， manners are not only important， but also necessary.
(D)64.What can we learn from this text？
A.Saying sorry certainly means being polite. B.Eating fish with a knife shows you re rich.
C.Coughing with the mouth covered is strange. D.Eating loudly can be good manners sometimes.
(C)65.What s the best title for the text？
A.The Development of Manners B.Manners in Different Countries
C.Different Opinions about Manners D.The Disagreement Between the Old and Young

①New Year is a wonderful time for family and friends to welcome the new year. Celebrations worldwide include music， special food， and fireworks， though at different times.
②In the UK， many get together in London on December 31 to see Big Ben and count down to midnight. They then sing Auld Lang Syne to remember loved ones. In the US， a famous tradition is the ball drop in New York s Times Square. Huge crowds watch and wish each other “Happy New Year！” when the ball reaches the bottom.
③The Chinese New Year， or Spring Festival， is highly important. Customs include sweeping houses， hanging couplets， setting off fireworks， and performing lion or dragon dances. A key tradition is the family reunion dinner on New Year s Eve， where generations(世代) get together to share food and express wishes， stressing the importance of family in Chinese culture.
④In Egypt， people celebrate Sham El－Nessim in April， meaning “smelling the breeze”， to mark spring s arrival. As weather brightens and nature flowers， people paint eggs symbolizing new life， enjoy picnics， dance， sing， and watch plays.
⑤Although New Year festivals differ around the world， they share a common belief： It is a special time to connect with family and friends and express hope for the coming year.
(D)66.What do the UK and US celebrations have in common？
A.They are exactly the same. B.They both focus on music and food.

Communication is more than just words. Across the globe， people use body language—gestures， facial expressions， and postures—to express feelings and ideas. However， these silent signals can mean very different things depending on where you are.
In many Western countries， a firm handshake is a common greeting that shows confidence. In Japan， people often bow instead. The deeper the bow， the more respect shown. Meanwhile， in India， pressing palms together near the chest (called Namaste) is a traditional sign of welcome. Eye contact also varies widely. While direct eye contact is seen as honest in the United States， in some Asian and African cultures， avoiding eye contact is a sign of respect， especially when speaking to elders.
Gestures with hands can be particularly tricky. For example， the “thumbs－up” gesture is positive in Europe but rude in parts of the Middle East. Even nodding and shaking the head don t always mean “yes” and “no.” In Bulgaria， nodding means “no，” while shaking the head side to side means “yes.”
Personal space preferences also differ. In Latin America， people tend to stand closer during conversations， while Nordic(北欧的) people prefer about an arm s length of distance. Additionally， touching someone s head in Thailand is considered deeply disrespectful， as it is viewed as sacred(神圣的).
Understanding these differences is important in today s globalized world. Misreading body language can lead to misunderstandings， but learning these unspoken rules helps build trust and connection.
(D)69.In India， what traditional gesture is used to show welcome？
A.Bowing deeply. B.A firm handshake.
C.Avoiding eye contact. D.Pressing palms together near the chest.
(C)70.Which can best describe the “thumbs－up” gesture in parts of the Middle East？
A.Active. B.Embarrassing. C.Impolite. D.Confusing.
(C)71.What does the underlined word “it” refer to？
A.The personal space. B.Thailand. C.The head. D.The distance.
(C)72.What is the main purpose of the text？
A.To compare spoken and unspoken languages.
B.To explain how globalization affects communication.
C.To highlight(强调) cultural differences in body language.
D.To criticize(批判) misunderstandings between cultures.
　　第二节　阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求)。
F
Everyone loves receiving gifts， and across cultures， presents are an important way to show care and love. However， traditions are not the same in every country.
As a European living in China， I have seen some interesting differences. For example， while fruit and milk are common gifts here， in my culture， they might be a better choice when you are visiting someone in the hospital.
When you get invited to a dinner party， a bottle of fine wine is also a good gift. Still， it s best to check if your hosts drink wine in their daily life.
Many Europeans will usually open their presents right away， except in places like Germany. It s also important to take off the price tag before giving gifts.
What can you do if you don t like your gift？ In Spain， you still need to say you love the gift to avoid hurting the other person s feelings. But if they remember to leave the receipt(收据) inside the gift， which is a very common practice in Spain， you can just exchange it for something else.
Re－gifting is another good idea， as long as the present looks new. Jennifer Molski from Chicago has turned re－gifting into a nice project， collecting gifts people didn t want for those in need， CBS News reported.
How the present looks is also important. However， by using wrapping paper for every present we buy， we produce a lot of waste. Many Germans use high－quality wrapping paper to make their presents more delicate(精致的)， but some of them are now choosing newspaper or maps to protect the environment.
Do Europeans give money as gifts？ Yes. Polish couples， for example， often request cash at weddings to cover the cost of the venue and meals.
Finally， remember： It s the thought that counts， not the size or the cost of the gift.
73.What do most Europeans usually do after receiving gifts？(不超过5个词)
Open their presents right away.
74.How do many Germans make their presents more delicate？(不超过10个词)
By using high－quality wrapping paper.
75.Do you agree with re－gifting？ Why or why not？(不超过15个词)
Yes. Because it helps reduce waste and benefits those in need.(开放性作答，言之有理即可。)

Dear classmates， as we all know， there are differences between Chinese and Western culture.Here I d like to introduce different eating cultures to you.
Chinese people eat with chopsticks， but Westerners eat with forks and knives. Chinese people often eat rice， noodles， dumplings， zongzi， mooncakes and so on， while Westerners usually have beef， bread， pizza， hamburgers and sandwiches. When it comes to table manners， Chinese people prefer to let the elders eat first. They like talking while eating. Westerners don t wave their knives or forks. And they don t like making any noise while eating. They think it s rude to eat with their mouth open.
I think it s important for us to know different eating cultures. When in Rome， do as the Romans do.
