(2022·辽宁省沈阳市重点高中联合体高一下学期月考)When I'm in Italy, I generally only eat Italian food. I doubt whether there's another country in Europe that has food that can keep me coming back for more.
To eat well in Italy, finding the right restaurant is essential. I appreciate personality driven restaurants, run by people keen (热衷的) to share their love of good cooking, and places serving family recipes. Signs of a good restaurant include a low rent location, lots of locals, and a small, handwritten menu in one language. The menu is small because they're only selling everything they're cooking; it's handwritten because it's shaped by what is fresh today in the market; and it's in one language because they mostly serve locals.
For a fast and cheap lunch, I look for Italian food in corner delis (熟食店): either a rosticceria, specializing in roasted meats and antipasti (开胃食物), or a hot table bar—a cafeteria offering a buffet of meat and vegetables. Another option is to drop by a neighborhood grocery store to pick up some cold cuts, cheeses, and other foods for a picnic.
Italians tend to spend a long time on each course, and dinner is the evening's entertainment. For example, when you have a full blown Italian dinner in a restaurant, you don't get out until midnight; a three hour meal is common. Waiters often provide lots of drinks that seem designed to keep you from leaving. When you want the bill, you'll have to ask for it. To “eat and run” is seen as a lost opportunity.
A couple of years ago, I sat down at my favorite place in Verona, Enoteca Can Grande, with my friend and guide Franklin. We let the chef, Giuliano bring us whatever he wanted. Just after the antipasti arrived, Franklin's wife phoned him and said, “Don't eat too much cheese or dessert.” Later Franklin, who was not thin, surveyed our table. Sighing, he said, “The foods are so plentiful but I can eat few.”
“That's a pity，” I said.
I enjoyed the food for three hours and he watched me eating for three hours. Eating in Verona was really an amazing experience.

4.C 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Italians tend to spend a long time on ... you don't get out until midnight”可推知，意大利人会花很长时间吃晚餐。故选C。
(2022·云南师范大学附属中学高一下学期期中)One thing that sets humans apart from other members of the animal kingdom is our tendency to develop customs and traditions. Here are some astonishing customs from around the world.
An odd custom associated with the United States is its complicated tipping culture. Unlike many other countries that don't tip at all or that only tip in small amounts when the food is particularly good, tipping is actually mandatory at most restaurants in the US. To put it another way, customers have a duty to leave between 10－20 percent of the bill in tips. Wait staff rely on these tips for a living because legal wages for waiters are low. Furthermore, there are rules for tipping bartenders, delivery people and other service personnel. While some criticize this practice as irrational, there's no doubt that tipping culture in the US gives an incentive for waiters and waitresses to provide better service.
Some countries find the act of pointing with the index finger to be rude. While members of most cultures would probably agree that pointing fingers, both literally and figuratively, isn't exactly the nicest thing in the world, in countries like Malaysia and Indonesia, this gesture can be seen as incredibly offensive. Instead, it is customary to gesture towards things with the thumb as this is seen as a more polite option. In many countries in Africa, pointing is reserved for inanimate objects only, not people.
Most societies around the world have rules about table manners. For western cultures, noisily consuming food is considered rude. In Japan, however, making slurping (啧啧响的) sounds while eating has an entirely different meaning. This might have something to do with the fact that in western countries, noodles are properly consumed by twirling (缠绕) them on a spoon before putting them in the mouth. Meanwhile, the Japanese simply slurp up their noodles without contorting them first, an act that is naturally noisier than the former. Making slurping sounds when eating noodles in Japan is a way of indicating that you're rely enjoying them. Some scientists even argue slurping invites air into the mouth and actually enhances the noodles' flavor.
1．What does the underlined word “mandatory” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Required by tradition.
B．Highly spoken of.
C．Changeable over time.
D．Popular among people.
2．What does the author think of tipping
A．It is totally unreasonable.
B．It must follow a fixed standard.
C．It can improve the quality of service.
D．It should only target waiters and waitresses.
3．Which practice is acceptable according to the text
A．Skipping tipping in the USA.
B．Twirling noodles on a spoon in Africa.
C．Pointing with the index finger in Indonesia.
D．Making sounds while eating noodles in Japan.
4．Where is this text probably taken from
A．A research paper.
B．A travel brochure.
C．An online advertisement.
D．A popular magazine.
答案：篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了不同国家的特殊习惯。
1.A 词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“To put it another way, customers have a duty to leave between 10－20 percent of the bill in tips.(换句话说，顾客有义务留下账单的10%～20%作为小费。)”可知，在美国，饭后留下小费是约定俗成的。所以，此处mandatory意思与A项“按照传统要求的”一致。故选A。
2.C 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“While some criticize ... for waiters and waitresses to provide better service.(虽然有些人批评这种做法不合理，但毫无疑问，美国的小费文化激励着服务员提供更好的服务。)”可知，作者认为小费能够提高服务质量。故选C。
3.D 细节理解题。根据最后一段倒数第二句“Making slurping sounds when eating noodles in Japan is a way of indicating that you're rely enjoying them.(在日本，吃面条时发出啧啧声表示你很喜欢吃面条。)”可知，在日本吃面条发出声音是可以接受的。故选D。
4.D 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“One thing that sets ... develop customs and traditions.(人类与动物王国其他成员的一个区别是我们倾向于发展风俗和传统。)”以及下文介绍了不同国家的特殊习惯可推知，这篇文章应该来自杂志。故选D。
(2022·辽宁省大连市第一中学高一下学期测试)“Good morning，” the new teacher said. “I'm Ernesto Flores, your teacher for fifth grade.” In all his years in school, Julio had never heard a teacher use his or her first name. Of course, the students always found out what they were, but it was up to the students to discover this information for themselves.
“Now I'd like to find out who you are，” said Mr Flores. He began to call the roll (点名), starting with the boys. Julio shook his head. Teachers always began with the girls.
“Julio Sanchez” called Mr Flores, pronouncing it Hulio. That was the correct way to say the name in Spanish.
Several kids laughed. They had never heard Julio's name pronounced without the J. Mr Flores looked up from the roll book.“Isn't that how you say your name？” he asked Julio. “Or do you prefer Julio with a J？”
“At home, they call me Hulio. But at school everyone calls me Julio，” Julio said.
“Do you like two pronunciations of your name？” asked the teacher. “It's a good Spanish name and you should be proud of it.”
Julio smiled. “I know，” he said, “but it doesn't matter to me.”
“Are you sure？” asked Mr Flores. “Your name is a very important part of you.”
Julio thought for a moment. “Okay，” he said. “From now on, everyone please call me Hulio. Puerto Rico, where I was born, used to be a Spanish colony (殖民地).”
“That's right，” said Mr Flores. “Can you tell us something about Puerto Rico？”
“I came here when I was only eight months old. I don't remember anything，” Julio replied.
“I think you can interview your parents instead，” Mr Flores said.
Julio nodded. It would be fun to learn more about the place where he had been born.
Julio had to admit that Mr Flores was creative and interesting.

A．The new teacher was a man.
B．The new teacher used his full name.
C．The new teacher started the roll with the boys.
D．The new teacher asked him a question.
2．Why did some kids laugh
A．They didn't like Spanish.
B．They found that Julio had a funny name.
C．They thought the teacher had made a mistake in pronunciation.
D．They didn't expect Julio's name to be called first.
3．What would Julio probably do after school
A．Discover more information about his new teacher.
B.Learn how to pronounce his name correctly.
C．Use the new name his new teacher gave to him.
D．Find out more about his birthplace.
4．In Julio's mind, what kind of teacher was Mr Flores

C．Hard working. D．Different.
答案：篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Julio(胡里奥)的名字一直被念错，直到新老师Mr Flores(弗洛里斯)出现，他不仅让Julio正确朗读自己的名字，也告诉他要去了解更多关于自己出生地信息的故事。
1.C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“He began to call the roll (点名), starting with the boys.Julio shook his head.Teachers always began with the girls.(他开始点名，从男生开始。 胡里奥摇了摇头。 老师总是从女生开始。)”可知，Julio摇头是因为新老师从男生开始点名。故选C。
2.C 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Several kids laughed. They had never heard Julio's name pronounced without the J．(几个孩子都笑了。 他们从来没有听过胡里奥的名字发音不带J。)”可推知，孩子们笑是因为他们认为老师在发音上犯了错误。故选C。
3.D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Julio nodded. It would be fun to learn more about the place where he had been born.(胡里奥点点头。 更多地了解他出生的地方会很有趣。)”可推知，Julio也许在放学后会了解更多关于他出生地的信息。故选D。
4.D 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Julio had to admit that Mr Flores was creative and interesting.(胡里奥不得不承认弗洛里斯先生很有创造力，也很有趣。)”可推知，Julio认为Mr Flores是与众不同的。故选D。
(2022·辽宁省名校联盟高一下学期联合考试)The world has been witnessing a growing number of countries where people from around the globe live together and communicate with each other, with various customs and beliefs coexisting. America and Singapore are typical examples. Distinct cultures merge into a common cultural context for mankind. That's why many feel as if people are living in a multicultural age.
Culture shapes identity and influences behaviors, and cultural diversity makes one accept, or to some extent, even integrate and assimilate (同化) into other cultures. To adapt to a diverse cultural community, the fundamental thing is to be aware that there are different cultures apart from one's own. Take a positive view of different cultures, and we can broaden our horizons. Sometimes a person may not know much about geography or history, but by mixing with people from other cultures, they may have the opportunity to learn about different countries.
For those who want to learn but do not know where to start, a great point is to pick up a book about another culture they are interested in, or do some online research on reputable International websites. The best way to learn, though, is through face to face interaction with people from other cultures. One more way to start learning about new cultures is simply tasting the food from different cultures, since food can also be an aspect of cultural diversity.
Understanding diversity is important for us adults. It's the same for our children too, especially for those who live in culturally diverse cities such as Los Angeles, Shanghai, or Hong Kong. If our children are not aware of diversity, then they become close minded. This can lead to troubles at school and even lead to bullying. Show them how diverse the world is. Help them be more open minded toward people of different races, cultures, and countries.
In today's world, if everyone is able to know about other cultures, and respect other values, life will be easier.
1．What do America and Singapore have in common according to the text
A．They are of a size.
B．They have similar population.
C．They are countries with growing population.
D．They are countries with people gathering from around the world.
2．What's the writer's purpose of using the underlined sentence
A．To stress the importance of taking a positive view of different cultures.
B．To attach the importance of learning about geography and history.
C.To emphasize that broadening our horizons is a must.
D．To show that we have broadened horizons.
3．Which of the following is not the way to learn about new cultures
A．Tasting food from different cultures.
B．Reading books about one's own culture.
C．Doing online research about other cultures.
D．Interacting with foreigners face to face.
4．Who are the article intended for
A．Teachers. B．Travelers.
C．Teenagers. D．Grown ups.
答案：篇章导读：本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述我们处于文化多样性的时代及理解其他国家文化的方法。
1.D 细节理解题。根据第一段前两句“The world has been witnessing ... are typical examples.”可知，美国和新加坡的共同点是它们都聚集着来自世界各地的人们。故选D。
2.A 句意理解题。根据画线句“Sometimes a ... countries．”可知，有时一个人可能不太了解地理或历史，但通过与来自其他文化的人交往，他们可能有机会了解不同的国家。由此可推知，画线句是作为例子强调积极看待不同文化的重要性。故选A。
3.B 细节理解题。根据第三段可知，学习多样文化的途径可以有：阅读感兴趣的有关其他文化的书籍、浏览可靠的国际网站、与其他文化的人面对面互动以及品尝反映其他文化的食物。故选B。
4.D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段前两句话“Understanding diversity ... Hong Kong.”可知，理解多样性对我们成年人来说很重要。我们的孩子也是如此，尤其是那些生活在洛杉矶、上海或香港等多元文化城市的孩子。由此可推知，本文是写给成年人的。故选D。

(2022·江西省宜春市靖安中学高一下学期月考)If you're from the northern hemisphere (北半球), you'll find Christmas to be rather different in New Zealand. 1 December is in the middle of summer in New Zealand. Many visitors from the US or Europe can't quite get used to having a barbecue on the beach as Christmas dinner. However, Christmas marks the beginning of the summer holidays for most New Zealanders.
2 One of the best－known Christmas events is the Farmers Santa Parade in Auckland, which has been a feature (特点) of the Auckland Christmas since 1934. It attracts thousands of visitors every year and is a great event for children.
New Zealanders continue the British tradition of having a family dinner during the middle of the day on Christmas Day.It usually begins on Christmas morning by exchanging presents which will be left under the Christmas tree in the home. 3 Often it is a barbecue in the garden. However, the traditional Christmas food, such as turkey, ham and roast potatoes, is still very popular, along with salad and glasses of wine.
It may seem a bit strange to hear songs, such as White Christmas or Deck the Halls, in the middle of summer! Nevertheless, Christmas carols (颂歌) are popular. 4
New Zealand is an extremely (极端地) diverse (多样的) society. People from many cultures do not recognize Christmas in the same way as the early European settlers. 5 It's a time to get together with the family and enjoy the great New Zealand summer outdoors.
A．They all stop on Christmas Day.
B．The most obvious difference is the weather.
C．Most New Zealanders do not go to church regularly.
D．However, Christmas is a special time for all New Zealanders.
E．Many towns and cities in New Zealand hold Christmas celebrations.
F．The Christmas meal itself is increasingly becoming a relaxing affair.
G．People will hear them played or sung in shopping malls during the holiday season.
答案：篇章导读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了位于南半球的新西兰是如何庆祝圣诞节的。
1．B 前文“If you're from ... rather different in New Zealand.”提到北半球和新西兰的圣诞节截然不同；后文“December is in the middle of summer in New Zealand.”提到12月的新西兰正处于夏季。由此可知，B项(最明显的区别是天气。)承前启后。故选B。
2．E 后文“One of the best known Christmas events ... since 1934.”提到了最著名的圣诞活动是奥克兰的农民圣诞游行，E项(新西兰许多城镇都举行圣诞节庆祝活动。)引出后文。故选E。
3．F 后文“Often it is a barbecue ... and glasses of wine”提到了通常圣诞餐是烧烤，然而，传统的圣诞食品仍然很受欢迎，由此可知，F项(圣诞餐本身正日益成为一种放松的事情。)引出后文。故选F。
4．G 前文“Nevertheless, Christmas carols (颂歌) are popular.”提到圣诞歌很受欢迎，G项(人们会听到它们在节日期间在商场里被演奏或歌唱。)承接前文；G项中的“them”指的是前文中的“Christmas carols”。故选G。
5．D 前文“People from many cultures ... as the early European settlers.”提到新西兰人并不像早期的欧洲人那样以同样的方式庆祝圣诞节，后文“It's a time ... New Zealand summer outdoors.”提到圣诞节是和家人团聚，在户外享受新西兰夏季的好时光。由此可知，D项(然而，圣诞节是所有新西兰人的特别时刻。)承前启后。故选D。

Furthermore, there are rules for tipping bartenders, delivery people and other service personnel. While some criticize this practice as irrational, there's no doubt that tipping culture in the US gives an incentive for waiters and waitresses to provide better service.
Some countries find the act of pointing with the index finger to be rude. While members of most cultures would probably agree that pointing fingers, both literally and figuratively, isn't exactly the nicest thing in the world, in countries like Malaysia and Indonesia, this gesture can be seen as incredibly offensive. Instead, it is customary to gesture towards things with the thumb as this is seen as a more polite option. In many countries in Africa, pointing is reserved for inanimate objects only, not people.
Most societies around the world have rules about table manners. For western cultures, noisily consuming food is considered rude. In Japan, however, making slurping (啧啧响的) sounds while eating has an entirely different meaning. This might have something to do with the fact that in western countries, noodles are properly consumed by twirling (缠绕) them on a spoon before putting them in the mouth. Meanwhile, the Japanese simply slurp up their noodles without contorting them first, an act that is naturally noisier than the former. Making slurping sounds when eating noodles in Japan is a way of indicating that you're rely enjoying them. Some scientists even argue slurping invites air into the mouth and actually enhances the noodles' flavor.

Of course, the students always found out what they were, but it was up to the students to discover this information for themselves.
“Now I'd like to find out who you are，” said Mr Flores. He began to call the roll (点名), starting with the boys. Julio shook his head. Teachers always began with the girls.
“Julio Sanchez” called Mr Flores, pronouncing it Hulio. That was the correct way to say the name in Spanish.
Several kids laughed. They had never heard Julio's name pronounced without the J. Mr Flores looked up from the roll book.“Isn't that how you say your name？” he asked Julio. “Or do you prefer Julio with a J？”

Julio smiled. “I know，” he said, “but it doesn't matter to me.”
“Are you sure？” asked Mr Flores. “Your name is a very important part of you.”
Julio thought for a moment. “Okay，” he said. “From now on, everyone please call me Hulio. Puerto Rico, where I was born, used to be a Spanish colony (殖民地).”
“That's right，” said Mr Flores. “Can you tell us something about Puerto Rico？”
“I came here when I was only eight months old. I don't remember anything，” Julio replied.

(2022·辽宁省名校联盟高一下学期联合考试)The world has been witnessing a growing number of countries where people from around the globe live together and communicate with each other, with various customs and beliefs coexisting. America and Singapore are typical examples. Distinct cultures merge into a common cultural context for mankind. That's why many feel as if people are living in a multicultural age.
Culture shapes identity and influences behaviors, and cultural diversity makes one accept, or to some extent, even integrate and assimilate (同化) into other cultures. To adapt to a diverse cultural community, the fundamental thing is to be aware that there are different cultures apart from one's own. Take a positive view of different cultures, and we can broaden our horizons. Sometimes a person may not know much about geography or history, but by mixing with people from other cultures, they may have the opportunity to learn about different countries.
For those who want to learn but do not know where to start, a great point is to pick up a book about another culture they are interested in, or do some online research on reputable International websites. The best way to learn, though, is through face to face interaction with people from other cultures. One more way to start learning about new cultures is simply tasting the food from different cultures, since food can also be an aspect of cultural diversity.
Understanding diversity is important for us adults. It's the same for our children too, especially for those who live in culturally diverse cities such as Los Angeles, Shanghai, or Hong Kong. If our children are not aware of diversity, then they become close minded. This can lead to troubles at school and even lead to bullying. Show them how diverse the world is. Help them be more open minded toward people of different races, cultures, and countries.
In today's world, if everyone is able to know about other cultures, and respect other values, life will be easier.

(2022·江西省宜春市靖安中学高一下学期月考)If you're from the northern hemisphere (北半球), you'll find Christmas to be rather different in New Zealand. 1 December is in the middle of summer in New Zealand.
