第三部分 阅读理解 (共15小题,每小题2分,共30分)
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A,B,C和D四个选项中,选出一个最佳选项。
A
Table manners are how to behave when you have a meal. They include how to handle knives, forks and spoons and how to eat in a polite manner. To behave well abroad, you should know some table manners.
EATING MANNERS
Japan: It is "perfectly" okay to slurp when you eat noodles. Unlike making big noises, slurping slightly is not rude. Japanese also say it tastes better if you slurp.
Russia: Your wrists should be placed on the edge of the table while eating, fork in the left hand, and knife in the right. It is not good manners to rest them on your lap. Keep your elbows off the table. Leave some food on your plate to show that the host has given you enough to eat.
France: Never discuss money or religion over dinner. What is different from the manners in Russia is that finishing everything on your plate is considered good manners.
Mexico: Whenever you catch the eye of someone who's eating, even a stranger, it's good manners to say "provecho", which means "enjoy". In Mexico, dining is more than a meal. It's a social occasion--lunches are seldom quick and suppers can last for hours. Before you get seated, look for place cards, or wait until the host seats you. And you must say "enjoy your meal "before you leave the table.
DRINKING MANNERS
America: If you empty a bottle into someone's glass, it obliges that person to buy the next bottle. It's polite to put the last drops into your own glass.
Australia: In a pub it's usual to buy a round of drinks for everyone in your group. When it's your turn, say "It's my round". When it's their round, they will buy it for you. Don't leave before you've bought a round.
Japan: Don't fill your own glass of alcohol. Instead, you should pour for others and wait for them to do it for you.
( )1. When you are in Mexico, you should ______.
A .keep silent if you catch the eye of a stranger
B .eat as quickly as you can to save your time
C .say "enjoy your meal" before you leave the table
D .get seated as soon as you arrive
( )2. When you eat noodles in Japan, you should ______.
A .slurp loudly B .slurp slightly
C .not make any noise D .make big noises
( )3. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage
A .Eating Manners B .Drinking Manners
C .Table Manners D .Food Manners
B
China and Western countries have something different in cultures about certain animals, but when it comes to pigs, we have the same idea—pigs are ugly, lazy and stupid.
Just look at some Chinese sayings such as "Boiling a dead pig" and "A pig looking in the mirror is still a pig". And in English, there are some expressions like "Eating like a pig" and "Pigs might fly". None of them are complimentary.
However, pigs have some good qualities (品质). They are even as smart as dogs and elephants. They have good memories. And they know whether people treat them well or not.
A UK cartoon, Peppa Pig is a most popular cartoon. The four members in the pig family teach children from all around the world about love, friendship and the value of family. And a Chinese cartoon movie, The Adventures of McDull, is also very famous. In the cartoon, the little pig, McDull, has a heart of gold and always works hard towards his dreams. Most people want quick success, but McDull is slow and patient, and not afraid of failing again and again.
Maybe when we talk about pigs next time, we should think of their good qualities.
( )4. China and Western countries have__________ in cultures according to the passage.
A .the same idea of pigs B .different ideas of pigs
C .the same idea of all the animals D .different ideas of all the animals
( )5. What does the underlined word "complimentary" mean in Chinese
A .固执的 B .赞美的
C .负面的 D .正向的
( )6. From the third paragraph, we can learn that __________.
A .pigs have bad memories
B .pigs don't know who treats them well
C .pigs are as clever as dogs and elephants
D .pigs are our friends
( )7. The writer gives the two examples of cartoons in the passage to show__________.
A .pigs have good qualities
B .the two cartoons are well-known
C .both Chinese and English children like pigs
D .pigs are friendly to people
C
Many people travel to different places in the world by air. Usually it takes a long time, perhaps half a day, for passengers to stay in the plane. So airlines offer passengers food. But it is common that they feel bad about food taste. Do you agree
To solve this problem, airlines try hard to improve their food. They would like to do so because they don't want to lose customers.
However, according to scientific research, part of the reason why plane food tastes bad is that at high altitude (海拔)we can't taste things as well as we do on the ground. Also scientists have found that our noses become very dry even before a plane takes off. As the plane moves up, the change in air pressure reduces one third of the sensibility of our taste buds (味蕾). So our taste buds become senseless. The sad fact, however, is that our noses don't know it.
All of these helps explain why food on the plane tastes so bad. They also help explain why airlines choose to offer passengers salty and spicy food. Without doing so, the food would be tasteless.
Now there are many researches on this. According to one of them, some volunteers are asked to lie with their feet higher than their heads for weeks. And scientists write down their feelings about food taste.
Though scientists try their best, it is not as easy as they thought. Because they can't deal with the special environment successfully, such as the change in air pressure, making food taste good is still hard for them.
( )8. In Paragraph 2, the underlined part refers to "______".
A .passengers stay long in the plane
B .food on the plane tastes bad
C .passengers have no food to eat
D .food on the plane is expensive
( )9. As the plane moves up, how much of the sensibility of our taste buds does the change in air pressure reduce
A .One fifth. B .One fourth.
C .One third. D .One second.
( )10. Why do scientists feel it hard to make food on the plane taste good
A .Because they can't find enough volunteers.
B .Because the volunteers don't understand them.
C .Because the volunteers don't know about food taste.
D .Because they can't deal with the special environment successfully.
( )11. What is the best title of the passage
A .Airplane Travel B .The Change in Air Pressure
C .Taste of Airplane Food D .Scientific Research on Noses
D
Clothing is a language. It tells us about individuals: their personality, age, place in society and so on. If we want to know more about society, we can look at traditional clothing.
The continent of Africa has a long history and a rich culture, and this is shown in traditional dress. You often find three colors-red, gold and green in the clothing. The first color stands for the blood of millions of people who suffered as slaves(奴隶). The second is for the rich resources of the African earth, and the third represents the grasslands of home.
The patterns on the clothing also have a meaning. A common pattern is in the form of a cross "×", which stands for "unity". Another pattern is a rectangular(矩形)box, which represents "strength".
Because clothing has a strong social meaning, people are very careful in choosing what to wear. It would be a serious mistake to wear the wrong clothing, or to wear clothes in the wrong way. For instance, in Ghana, a woman should wear her waistband differently according to the importance of the social event.
Traditional dress also tells us about everyday life. African designs are famous for loose(宽松的)clothing. The climate, with the hot sun and wide temperature ranges(变化), requires that the clothes should be comfortable for daily life.
Although many people wear Western clothes, particularly in the big cities in Africa, traditional dress is very highly valued(评价). This is because it has deep cultural meanings.
( )12. What is the passage mainly about
A .The history of African clothes.
B .The cultural traditions of African dress.
C .African modern fashion styles.
D .The materials used in African traditional dress.
( )13. Clothing tells us everything except their _______.
A .age and place in society B .style and place in society
C .personality and age D .height and weight
( )14. According to the passage, red _______.
A .represents the setting sun
B .is chosen because it is a bright color
C .stands for African unity
D .is a reminder of the sad history in Africa
( )15. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A .There are two patterns on African traditional dresses.
B .Africans get tired of loose clothing because it is out of style.
C .In Ghana, always wearing the same waistband is a mistake.
D .We can learn the weather at night in Africa is as hot as that in the day.

Dear Cindy,
I'm glad to know that you are coming to China. China is a country with a long history, so there are many customs here. Let me tell you some of them.
Firstly, you are supposed to shake hands when you meet someone for the first time. Secondly, when you eat dinner with other people, it's rude to point at others with your chopsticks. And don't make any noise when you have your soup.Besides, if you are going to a party, you are supposed to arrive at the party on time, or a few minutes early. You are not supposed to give a clock or a watch to a friend as a present, because that means "death" in Chinese.
I hope that these tips are useful. Have a good time in China!
Best wishes!
Yours,
Wang Xue
