VI.完形填空（共10小题，每小题1分，计10分） There are many differences between Chinese eating habits and Western eating habits. In the West，everyone has their own 41 of food. But in China the dishes are 42 on the table and everyone shares. If you are being treated by a Chinese host，there must be 43 food prepared for you. Chinese are very 44 of their culture and will do their best to show their hospitality （好客）.
And sometimes the Chinese host uses their 45 to put food in your bowl or plate. This is a sign of politeness. The proper thing to do would be to eat the whatever-it-is and say how 46 it is. If you feel uncomfortable with this，you can just say a polite “Thanks” and leave the food there. Don’t 47 your chopsticks upright into the rice bowl. Instead，lay （放置） them on your dish. The reason for this is that when somebody 48 ，the shrine （神祠） to them has a bowl of sand or rice with two chopsticks which are stuck upright in it. It is impolite to set the teapot down where the spout （壶嘴） is facing 49 somebody. The spout should always be directed to where nobody is sitting，usually just outward （向外） from the table.
Don’t hit on your bowl with your chopsticks. Beggars （乞丐） hit on their bowls，so this is
not polite. Also，when the food is coming too 50 in a restaurant，people will tap their bowls. If you are in someone’s home，it is like offending the cook.
41. A. table B. plate C. favorite D. meal
42. A. made B. cooked C. eaten D. placed
43. A. a bit of B. a bit C. a lot of D. a little

46. A. delicious B. beautiful C. terrible D. comfortable
47. A. fall B. throw C. jump D. stick
48. A. comes B. goes C. dies D. lives
49. A. against B. towards C. over D. above
50. A. often B. early C. slowly D. fast
VII.阅读理解（共15小题，每小题1分，计15分）
A
Different Ways of Drinking Tea
All around the world，people drink tea. But tea does not mean the same thing to everyone. In different countries，people have very different ideas about drinking tea.
In China，for example，people always drink tea when they are going together. The Chinese drink it at any time of the day at homes or in teahouses. They prefer their tea plain，with nothing else in it.
Tea is also important in Japan. The Japanese have a special way of serving tea called tea ceremony （典礼）.It is very old and full of meaning. Everything must be done in a special way in the ceremony. There is even a special way for it in Japanese homes.
Another tea-drinking country is England. In England，the late afternoon is “tea time”.Almost everyone has a cup of tea then. The English usually make tea in a teapot and drink it with milk and sugar. They also eat cakes，cookies and a little sandwiches at tea time. This is so called “Afternoon Tea” in Britain.
In the United States，people drink tea mostly for breakfast or after meals. Americans usually use tea bags to make their tea. Tea bags are faster and easier than making tea in teapots（茶壶）.In summer，many Americans drink cold tea. Sometimes they drink iced tea from cans like soda （汽水）.
51. Tea is popular .
A. all around the world
B. only in English-speaking countries
C. only in the United States
D. in Japan，China and other Asian countries
52. The Chinese drink tea .
A. for breakfast B. at any time of the day
C. only in teahouses D. in a special ceremony
53. The English like to drink their tea
A. in a special room
B. with dinner
C. while they eat cakes and cookies
D. when they are free
54. The word “plain” in“They prefer their tea plain，with nothing else in it.” means “ ”.
A. 朴素的 B.平坦的 C.不掺杂的 D.直率的
55. In this passage，which country’s way of drinking tea isn’t mentioned？
A. England. B. America. C. Japan. D. India.
B
People in different countries behave （举止） in different ways. What is polite or “good manners （礼貌）” in one country may not be polite in another. For example，Americans usually greet （打招呼） someone they know by saying，“Hi” “Hello” or “Good morning”.We Chinese，on the other hand，usually greet each other by saying，“How are you？” or sometimes “Have you eaten？”or “Where are you going？” But it is bad manners to greet an American by asking him where he is going or if he has eaten. In Italy （意大利） or in the south of France，a man will greet a woman by kissing （吻） her on the back of her hand or on both cheeks （脸颊）.But in China and other Asian （亚洲） countries，kissing on meeting someone is thought to be bad manners.
To take another example，belching （打嗝） during a meal in America is thought very rude （无礼节的） while in parts of China and the Arab （阿拉伯人） world，belching is a way of telling your friend that you are enjoying your meal.
There are also different ways of paying a visit to other’s home，standing in line，introducing （介绍） someone to other people，and giving thanks. For example，if an American brings someone a present，he hopes it will be opened in front of him. But we Chinese don’t usually open the present until he has left.
What are the rules （规则） of good manners then？Well，there are too many rules to be written down here. The most important one would be：When in Rome （罗马），do as the Romans （罗马人） do.
56. A man in Italy greets a woman by .
A. kissing her hand B. asking “Where are you going？”
C. saying “Hi” D. shaking hands
57. In Asian countries it is to kiss a woman when they meet each other.
A. rude B. good C. nice D. OK
58. The people in parts of usually give a loud belch to show that they enjoy their meal.
A. America B. China C. Japan D. Australia
59.If a/an gives someone a present，he wants him or her to open it in front of him.
A.Chinese B. American C. Japanese D. English
60.The most important rule of good manners is .
A. being on time B. being yourself
C. when in Rome，do as the Romans do D. respecting the host
C
Frogs are animals that can live both in water and on land. There are more than 5,000 kinds of frogs on the earth. The earliest known frogs lived about 190 million years ago and the frogs today still look the same. Here are some fun things that you might not know about frogs. Enjoy!
The Biggest and the Smallest Frogs
Some frogs can be very big. The biggest kind of frog is the Goliath Frog in West Africa. Its body can be nearly 30cm long, about the size of a large cat. The Gold Frog and the Poison Frog are the smallest frogs in the world. They are less than 1cm long. Though the Poison Frog is very small, it is not weak at all. It is dangerous. Any animal that eats it will die very soon.
The Best Jumpers
Frogs are very good at jumping. They developed jumping legs so that they would not be eaten by other large animals. Using their big strong legs, most frogs can jump over 20 times their own length. It is like a person jumping over about 30.48m.The Australian Rocket Frog can even jump over 2m,which is 50 times its body length(5.5cm).That might be the reason why frogs are called the best jumpers on the earth.
The Cryogenic Animal
Some frogs like the Common Wood Frog have a special ability to live in very cold places. When the temperature goes down, they become ice frogs.2/3 of their body water freezes. Their hearts stop, and their breathing stops too. You may think they are dead, but in fact they are not. Maybe we humans can learn the way that the frogs do for medical purpose.
61. The earliest frogs lived about million years ago.
A.20 B.30 C.50 D.190
62. The Gold Frog is one of the frogs on the earth.
A. smallest B. biggest C. strongest D. weakest

A. The Goliath Frog B. The Common Wood Frog
C. The Poison Frog D. The Australian Rocket Frog
64. What will happen to a Common Wood Frog at very low temperatures
A. It will die very soon. B. It will be an ice frog.
C. It will become dangerous. D. It will become very small.
65. Frogs are very good at .

VIII.任务型阅读（共5小题，每小题3分，计15分）
Wang Fei，a Chinese student，and Mary，an American student studying Chinese in China，were in a supermarket. They saw a young man walking down the stairs. In his hurry，he missed the last two steps and fell onto the ground. He tried to stand up while people around him laughed. Luckily，he seemed to be OK.
Mary found Wang Fei smiling a little and was not happy about it.“Tell me，Fei，how could people laugh when someone fell like that Why didn’t they go up and ask him if he was hurt ”
Wang Fei said，“Because they knew he wasn’t hurt too much.”
“But I still don’t understand. A fall is a fall. In my culture，people would never laugh!”
This is an example. The Chinese and the Westerners will think and act differently when seeing such a thing. Chinese people are used to laughing or smiling. Very often the person who is in embarrassing （困窘的）situation would also laugh or smile to get out of it. However，if someone gets hurt seriously，it will not be a laughing matter any more. People will help him or her instead.
But，in that case，a Westerner will rush over and help the person get up. If a Westerner falls，he or she，like a Chinese person，may try to make a joke if he or she is not hurt. If two close friends are walking together，and one falls but clearly isn’t hurt，a common joke is to say “Have a nice trip”.
So different people have different habits and different countries have different cultures.

Dear Xiao Qiang,
It’s a good idea to bring a small present when you go to a dinner party. Flowers are always nice, or you may bring a bottle of wine if you know that your friends drink it. You should arrive on time or five to ten minutes late. Don’t get there early. If you are going to be more than fifteen minutes late, you should call and tell them. Try to be free at the dinner table. If you don’t know how to use the fork and the knife, just watch the other people, and follow them. If you still have no idea of what to do, ask the person next to you. Of course, you should thank them for the dinner and for the kindness.
Yours,
Alice
