It's important to teach your children good manners. Teaching good manners should begin long before they know how to walk or talk. In life，you have to set a good example for them.
But how do we teach them good manners？ There is a good book，How to Behave and Why. It is written by Munro Leaf. I read it with my first-grade students and we love the book. It tells good manners that every child should know. The words in the book are not difficult and there are pictures in it. They make the book easy to understand.
Also，you can teach your children in life. Before they go to school or a friend's house，tell them the importance of good manners. In your family，you can make a list of family manners. This helps children learn good manners anytime. And you can have a manner competition. It makes learning manners more interesting.
What are good manners for children？ At school，they should respect teachers and other classmates. They shouldn't be noisy in class. And they should say “hello” or “goodbye” to teachers and classmates，and “thank you” when they get help from others. Good table manners are important，too. For example，teach your children not to talk with their mouths full. Tell them that old people should eat first. Teach your children not to be late for classes，parties，meetings and so on.
In fact，good manners will provide(提供) a lot of help for your children in their daily life. So teach them to your children and learn with your children.
( )21.Who is the passage probably written to？
A.Teachers. B.Parents.
C.Children. D.Doctors.
( )22.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us？
A.Competitions can make learning easy.
B.The writer's children have good manners.
C.Always set a good example for the children.
D.Teach children by reading the book together.
D
B
( )23.How does the writer develop the fourth paragraph？
A.By giving examples.
B.By listing numbers.
C.By telling his own story.
D.By showing the facts.
A
( )24.Which good manner can we learn from the passage？
A.Never talk at the table.
B.Eat last at a friend's party.
C.Say “thank you” when you get help.
D.Say “goodbye” to parents when leaving home.
C
( )25.What is the best title for the passage？

C
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.”
( )26.Why did the waiter give the tip back to the writer's family？
A.Because the waiter didn't want the tip.
B.Because tipping in China is uncommon.
C.Because the meal wasn't good enough.
D.Because the waiter thought they paid too much.
B
( )27.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.
( )28.Why is tipping a custom in the US？
A.Because American people enjoy helping others.
B.Because many waiters ask customers to give tips.
C.Because people，such as waiters，offer service to customers.
D.Because people working in the service sector don't make much money.
B
D
( )29.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
( )30.What is the passage 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.

第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读短文，从方框内所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯。(选项中有一项多余)
Every year，with the Spring Festival on its way，it's time to start thinking about everyone's favourite topic：gifts！More specifically(确切地)，it's the giving of gifts and the culture behind them. 31.____ I have found gift-giving to be quite different in China from my home country.
E
One example is the time of when to open a gift. The person who gives a gift is called the “gifter”. 32.___ In the US，the gifter will often want to see the giftee open the present at once. The gifter wants to see the giftee's reaction of excitement and joy. In China，however，it's more polite to thank the gifter for the gift but open it later in the giftee's home.
B
33._____ Although people in the US might give money to their children，it is usually done very secretly with the money put in a card and not discussed out loud. In China，it is much more open. For example，kids get lucky money from parents during the Spring Festival.
F
Finally，the value of the gift can play a big role in China. 34._______ An expensive gift in the US is usually greeted with great excitement. But in China，it can make the giftee feel embarrassed because of a sense of having to return the favour(恩惠) in the future to the gifter.
As the old saying goes，“When in Rome，do as the Romans do.” 35.______ So，next time you give a gift to somebody，remember that culture and meaning are part of every action we take.
A
D
A.This is different from the US.
B.The person who gets a gift is called the “giftee”.
C.You'd better not break the rules where you are staying.
D.It's necessary to know the different traditions about giving gifts.
E.This means that each place has different gift habits due to its culture.
F.Also，I find the difference is the openness and directness of giving money.

四、读写结合(共两节，满分25分)
第一节　任务型阅读(共5小题，满分10分)
阅读短文，用英文填空或回答问题。(注意每小题的词数要求)
Different countries have different expressions to show affection(喜爱). In some countries，it is common for people to show affection in public places. In the United States，for example，we often see couples hold hands，hug or kiss in the street，in the park，in restaurants，and even on trains and buses！
However，in some other countries，people never show affection in public places because their customs don't allow this，for example，in China and India. So，when Chinese and Indian people visit the United States，they often feel very surprised when they see Americans hug and kiss in the street.
In some countries，friends show physical affection to each other. In some South American countries，female(女性) friends walk arm in arm when they walk along the street together. In Italy and Russia，male(男性) friends often kiss each other on both cheeks when they greet. In most cultures，men don't kiss or hug when they greet one another.
If you want to take a trip in other countries，it is wise to learn about some of their customs early so that you can behave politely. In this way，you can have a wonderful trip.

Chinese culture is one of the oldest in the world，and it is rich in traditions and beliefs. And there are some things with special meanings. For example，in many Western stories，dragons are frightening monsters. However，people in China are not afraid of them！Instead，they think dragons are a symbol of power and good luck.
They are so popular that we can see them in many places，such as buildings，money，clothes，and paintings. And certain numbers are lucky in China because they sound like other Chinese words with positive meanings.“Six”，for example，
sounds like“flow”.It symbolizes things going well. The number “two”is also lucky，because the Chinese believes that good things come in pairs.“Eight”sounds like a word which means “to make a fortune”，and it symbolizes wealth.
Something Special in Chinese Culture Dragons ●a symbol of 18._______ and good luck
●appear on buildings，money，clothes，and paintings
Lucky numbers ●sounds like other Chinese words with 19.__________ meanings
●The number “six”—things going well
●The number “two”—good things come in 20._______

It's important to teach your children good manners. Teaching good manners should begin long before they know how to walk or talk. In life，you have to set a good example for them.
But how do we teach them good manners？ There is a good book，How to Behave and Why. It is written by Munro Leaf. I read it with my first-grade students and we love the book. It tells good manners that every child should know. The words in the book are not difficult and there are pictures in it. They make the book easy to understand.
Also，you can teach your children in life. Before they go to school or a friend's house，tell them the importance of good manners. In your family，you can make a list of family manners. This helps children learn good manners anytime. And you can have a manner competition. It makes learning manners more interesting.
What are good manners for children？ At school，they should respect teachers and other classmates. They shouldn't be noisy in class. And they should say “hello” or “goodbye” to teachers and classmates，and “thank you” when they get help from others. Good table manners are important，too. For example，teach your children not to talk with their mouths full. Tell them that old people should eat first. Teach your children not to be late for classes，parties，meetings and so on.
In fact，good manners will provide(提供) a lot of help for your children in their daily life. So teach them to your children and learn with your children.
(B)21.Who is the passage probably written to？
A.Teachers. B.Parents. C.Children. D.Doctors.
(D)22.What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us？
A.Competitions can make learning easy. B.The writer's children have good manners.
C.Always set a good example for the children. D.Teach children by reading the book together.
(A)23.How does the writer develop the fourth paragraph？
A.By giving examples. B.By listing numbers.
C.By telling his own story. D.By showing the facts.
(C)24.Which good manner can we learn from the passage？
A.Never talk at the table. B.Eat last at a friend's party.
C.Say “thank you” when you get help. D.Say “goodbye” to parents when leaving home.
(D)25.What is the best title for the passage？

C
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)26.Why did the waiter give the tip back to the writer's family？
A.Because the waiter didn't want the tip. B.Because tipping in China is uncommon.
C.Because the meal wasn't good enough. D.Because the waiter thought they paid too much.
(B)27.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)28.Why is tipping a custom in the US？
A.Because American people enjoy helping others.
B.Because many waiters ask customers to give tips.
C.Because people，such as waiters，offer service to customers.
D.Because people working in the service sector don't make much money.
(D)29.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)30.What is the passage 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.
第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读短文，从方框内所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯。(选项中有一项多余)
Every year，with the Spring Festival on its way，it's time to start thinking about everyone's favourite topic： gifts！ More specifically(确切地)，it's the giving of gifts and the culture behind them. 31.　E　 I have found gift-giving to be quite different in China from my home country.
One example is the time of when to open a gift. The person who gives a gift is called the “gifter”. 32.　B　 In the US，the gifter will often want to see the giftee open the present at once. The gifter wants to see the giftee's reaction of excitement and joy. In China，however，it's more polite to thank the gifter for the gift but open it later in the giftee's home.
33.　F　 Although people in the US might give money to their children，it is usually done very secretly with the money put in a card and not discussed out loud. In China，it is much more open. For example，kids get lucky money from parents during the Spring Festival.
Finally，the value of the gift can play a big role in China. 34.　A　 An expensive gift in the US is usually greeted with great excitement. But in China，it can make the giftee feel embarrassed because of a sense of having to return the favour(恩惠) in the future to the gifter.
As the old saying goes，“When in Rome，do as the Romans do.” 35.　D　 So，next time you give a gift to somebody，remember that culture and meaning are part of every action we take.
A.This is different from the US.
B.The person who gets a gift is called the “giftee”.
C.You'd better not break the rules where you are staying.
D.It's necessary to know the different traditions about giving gifts.
E.This means that each place has different gift habits due to its culture.
F.Also，I find the difference is the openness and directness of giving money.
三、短文填空(共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分)
阅读短文，从方框中选出恰当的单词并用其适当形式填空，使短文通顺、意义完整。每空仅填一词，每词仅用一次。
greet　dish　follow　old　they　usual　important　if　sit　to
Chinese food is very famous in the world. Chinese people think food is one of the most 36.important things during our life. We do not 37.greet each other with “How are you？”，but we ask，“Have you eaten？”.
Since table manners are part of Chinese cooking culture，Chinese people still 38.follow table manners today. There is a seat for the “guest of honour” or the 39.oldest person in the family. In most parts of China，the “seat of honour” is 40.usually the one facing the front door of the room. The “seat of honour” can also be the one in the middle facing east of the room 41.if there is no seat facing the door.
As for the host，he or she may take the most convenient seat. It is always the closest 42.to the kitchen or service door. It is better to sit after the elder or the “guest of honour” 43.sits down. Guests should wait for the host to invite 44.them to get seated.
Chinese people like having meals together and they put all the 45.dishes on a round table. There is sometimes a round rotating disc(旋转盘) in the centre of the dining table. It makes sure that all the diners can enjoy the meal and feel respected.
四、读写结合(共两节，满分25分)

阅读短文，用英文填空或回答问题。(注意每小题的词数要求)
Different countries have different expressions to show affection(喜爱). In some countries，it is common for people to show affection in public places. In the United States，for example，we often see couples hold hands，hug or kiss in the street，in the park，in restaurants，and even on trains and buses！ However，in some other countries，people never show affection in public places because their customs don't allow this，for example，in China and India. So，when Chinese and Indian people visit the United States，they often feel very surprised when they see Americans hug and kiss in the street.
In some countries，friends show physical affection to each other. In some South American countries，female(女性) friends walk arm in arm when they walk along the street together. In Italy and Russia，male(男性) friends often kiss each other on both cheeks when they greet. In most cultures，men don't kiss or hug when they greet one another.
If you want to take a trip in other countries，it is wise to learn about some of their customs early so that you can behave politely. In this way，you can have a wonderful trip.

I'm excited to learn that you are coming to China. As you'll be staying with a host family，understanding some basic Chinese social manners is important. Here are some tips for you.
Firstly，when you meet someone for the first time，it's polite to shake hands. This is a common greeting in China. Secondly，showing respect is necessary. You can use both hands when you give or receive something. Also，it is highly welcome that you use respectful language when talking to older people. Before visiting your host family，consider bringing a small gift. It could be something from your country. This is a nice way to show your thanks.

Hope these tips above can be helpful. And please feel free to ask for more information.

Chinese culture is one of the oldest in the world，and it is rich in traditions and beliefs. And there are some things with special meanings. For example，in many Western stories，dragons are frightening monsters. However，people in China are not afraid of them！ Instead，they think dragons are a symbol of power and good luck. They are so popular that we can see them in many places，such as buildings，money，clothes，and paintings. And certain numbers are lucky in China because they sound like other Chinese words with positive meanings. “Six”，for example，sounds like “flow”. It symbolizes things going well. The number “two” is also lucky，because the Chinese believes that good things come in pairs. “Eight” sounds like a word which means “to make a fortune”，and it symbolizes wealth./ 让教学更有效 精品试卷 | 英语学科

For example，teach your children not to talk with their mouths full. Tell them that old people should eat first. Teach your children not to be late for classes，parties，meetings and so on.

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.”

第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读短文，从方框内所列选项中，选出最佳选项填入对应空白处，使短文通顺、连贯。(选项中有一项多余)
Every year，with the Spring Festival on its way，it's time to start thinking about everyone's favourite topic： gifts！ More specifically(确切地)，it's the giving of gifts and the culture behind them. 31.　E　 I have found gift-giving to be quite different in China from my home country.
One example is the time of when to open a gift. The person who gives a gift is called the “gifter”. 32.　B　 In the US，the gifter will often want to see the giftee open the present at once. The gifter wants to see the giftee's reaction of excitement and joy. In China，however，it's more polite to thank the gifter for the gift but open it later in the giftee's home.
33.　F　 Although people in the US might give money to their children，it is usually done very secretly with the money put in a card and not discussed out loud. In China，it is much more open. For example，kids get lucky money from parents during the Spring Festival.
Finally，the value of the gift can play a big role in China. 34.　A　 An expensive gift in the US is usually greeted with great excitement. But in China，it can make the giftee feel embarrassed because of a sense of having to return the favour(恩惠) in the future to the gifter.
As the old saying goes，“When in Rome，do as the Romans do.” 35.　D　 So，next time you give a gift to somebody，remember that culture and meaning are part of every action we take.
A.This is different from the US.
B.The person who gets a gift is called the “giftee”.
C.You'd better not break the rules where you are staying.
D.It's necessary to know the different traditions about giving gifts.
E.This means that each place has different gift habits due to its culture.
F.Also，I find the difference is the openness and directness of giving money.

greet　dish　follow　old　they　usual　important　if　sit　to
Chinese food is very famous in the world. Chinese people think food is one of the most 36.important things during our life. We do not 37.greet each other with “How are you？”，but we ask，“Have you eaten？”.
Since table manners are part of Chinese cooking culture，Chinese people still 38.follow table manners today. There is a seat for the “guest of honour” or the 39.oldest person in the family. In most parts of China，the “seat of honour” is 40.usually the one facing the front door of the room. The “seat of honour” can also be the one in the middle facing east of the room 41.if there is no seat facing the door.
As for the host，he or she may take the most convenient seat. It is always the closest 42.to the kitchen or service door. It is better to sit after the elder or the “guest of honour” 43.sits down. Guests should wait for the host to invite 44.them to get seated.
Chinese people like having meals together and they put all the 45.dishes on a round table. There is sometimes a round rotating disc(旋转盘) in the centre of the dining table. It makes sure that all the diners can enjoy the meal and feel respected.

阅读短文，用英文填空或回答问题。(注意每小题的词数要求)
Different countries have different expressions to show affection(喜爱). In some countries，it is common for people to show affection in public places. In the United States，for example，we often see couples hold hands，hug or kiss in the street，in the park，in restaurants，and even on trains and buses！ However，in some other countries，people never show affection in public places because their customs don't allow this，for example，in China and India. So，when Chinese and Indian people visit the United States，they often feel very surprised when they see Americans hug and kiss in the street.
In some countries，friends show physical affection to each other. In some South American countries，female(女性) friends walk arm in arm when they walk along the street together. In Italy and Russia，male(男性) friends often kiss each other on both cheeks when they greet. In most cultures，men don't kiss or hug when they greet one another.
If you want to take a trip in other countries，it is wise to learn about some of their customs early so that you can behave politely. In this way，you can have a wonderful trip.

I'm excited to learn that you are coming to China. As you'll be staying with a host family，understanding some basic Chinese social manners is important. Here are some tips for you.
Firstly，when you meet someone for the first time，it's polite to shake hands. This is a common greeting in China. Secondly，showing respect is necessary. You can use both hands when you give or receive something. Also，it is highly welcome that you use respectful language when talking to older people. Before visiting your host family，consider bringing a small gift. It could be something from your country. This is a nice way to show your thanks. What's more，learning a few easy Chinese words and sentences will be really useful. It shows you are trying to fit in and respect the local culture.
Hope these tips above can be helpful. And please feel free to ask for more information.
