六、阅读单选
I have been very lucky to make many trips to China. Though I have had some trouble with the language, I have never had a problem I couldn’t solve. As a native English speaker (土生土长的说英语的人), I can go almost everywhere in the world and find someone to communicate with. I never thought that someone who speaks only Chinese would have a lot of trouble in my country.
Recently, the Li family that I had met in China moved to Canada. I met them at the airport. My wife and I made meals for them and showed them around where we live. Everything seemed to go smoothly (顺利地) for the first two days as we looked for a car for them, showed them the way to different stores and the nearest city, Victoria. Mr and Mrs Li have a two-year-old son and soon we became Nainai (Grandmother) and Yeye (grandfather). We were having a good time but we didn’t realize Mr Li can’t speak English.
Luckily, Mrs Li can speak very good English. Many people with Chinese backgrounds live near us. In fact, none of them speak Chinese, Mr Li can’t even buy a mobile phone without his wife’s help. He can’t talk to me, of course. By the third day, he felt lonely and worried. And on the fourth day, we decided to take them to a large Chinese community.
Now, we often visit them and they visit us too. Sometimes Mrs Li would still like to live near us but Mr Li cannot. I feel bad because he seems very nice and smart but I can’t talk with him. It seems that neither of us will learn the other’s language because of our ages. Maybe we will never have a friendly conversation. But we will think of each other as friends.

A．he’s very lucky B．he speaks very good English
C．he’s good at speaking Chinese D．he is good at communicating with others

C．Why the Li family moved to Canada. D．Why the writer feels bad when he is with Mr Li.
42．What can we infer (推断) from the passage

C．Both the writer and Mr Li are quite young.
D．The two families live a little far away from each other now.
Is it a tree Is it a bear If you’re looking at a tree in the shape of a bear, it’s a topiary (林木雕塑). A topiary is a tree or bush (灌木) that is trained into a shape. Growing a topiary garden takes both time and skills.
A topiary gardener should make a drawing first. The drawing shows the final shape that the gardener likes. The gardener then chooses a bush for the topiary. It may be one that just planted or one that is already in place.
In June of the plant’s first year, the gardener looks for new leaves. When the leaves grow, it’s time to shape the bottom of the bush. It needs about five years. The top is not trimmed during this time. In the fifth year, the bush grows tall enough for shaping. Then the gardener begins to shape the whole bush.
Once a topiary has been started, it needs care all year. In the summer it must be cut many times to keep its shape. This cutting also helps the bush grow. In the winter the bushes don’t grow. The gardeners have to brush snow off the plants, or snow may hurt some parts of them.
Topiary gardening is a very old art. The Romans did it in the first century. In the sixteenth century, people in Europe liked topiaries too. By the late 1600s, topiaries were also grown in America. Today it’s popular in many parts of the world.
43．The correct order of the following is .
a. The gardener chooses a bush for the topiary.
b. The whole bush grows tall enough for shaping.
c. The gardener begins to shape the bottom of the bush.
d. The gardener draws the shape of a topiary.
A．d--a--b--c B．b--c--a—d
C．a--d--c--b D．d--a--c--b
44．The underlined word “trimmed” in the third paragraph means .
A．shaken B．Cut
C．cleaned D．collected
45．The topiary gardening first began .
A．in Rome B．in Europe
C．in America D．in Africa
46．The writer wants to tell us .
A．what a topiary is like
B．a topiary is a tree in the shape of a bear
C．it’s easy and interesting to grow a topiary
D．growing a topiary garden takes both time and skills

57．When in China, do as the Chinese do!
Meals in China are different in some ways from meals in the West. In China, lunch is usually served around 12 o’clock. As for dinner, Chinese people eat it much earlier than people in the West. Chopsticks are used to eat most food. Generally, for dinner, there’ll be lots of different dishes, not just three courses. Besides, Chinese people like to talk about food, so it’s a good topic during a meal. The golden rule is: when you’re in China, watch the Chinese and do as they do!
