In the West you can order any Chinese food with only 10 words of Chinese (the numbers 0 to 9) as everything on a Chinese takeaway menu is numbered! However, most takeaway staff in the West speak English and Cantonese, not Mandarin, so efforts to be cross-cultural tend to fall flat. In China, by contrast, ordering food can be a real cultural experience, and there are no English speaking staff to help often or even English menus, and certainly no numbers.
When arriving in a restaurant, after sitting down at the table, and a pot of tea has been served, the next thing that will arrive is the menu. If the menu has pictures, you are in luck as this offers an easy way to order. Just point to what you want and say yi fen. In northern China 'one portion' is pronounced yi fenr. You could also do the same if you see someone else eating something you would like by pointing at their food. However, although people will usually excuse you for being foreign, this is a little impolite and strange.
Some Chinese menus, particularly in big restaurants or those that have a Western theme, have English menus. This is the ideal situation, but be ware-sometimes the English is incorrect factually, quite apart from the Chinglish and spelling mistakes. In English menu restaurants the staff will still often not be able to speak English, so you will still have to point at the menu and say yi fen as above. If you have a phrase book with you or an ability to remember Chinese characters, then you could point to the Chinese for the food you want.
Typically one more dish is ordered than there are people eating, but this often leaves food spare. The Chinese custom is always to order too much to show generosity and hospitality. A dish per person is usually enough. There is a Chinese superstition about the number 4, as it sounds like the word for death in Chinese, so four dishes are seldom ordered. Largely such customs are ignored now apart from on special occasions, and Westerners would certainly not be expected to follow them.
24. What does the underlined phrase "fall flat" in paragraph 1 probably mean
A. Meet expected goal. B. Work out well . C. Break into pieces. D. Come to nothing.
25. Which is the last choice for a foreigner to order food
A. Pointing to the food pictures in the menu.
B. Pointing at some else' food on anther table.
C. Referring to a phrase book he carries about .
D. Remembering Chinese characters carefully.
26. Why does Chinese always order more food than needed
A. To show the host's hospitality. B. To avoid the unpopular numbers.
C. To praise a chef's satisfying work. D. To stress the excellence of the food.
27. Which can be a suitable title for the text
A. A Real Culture Experience in China. B. How to Remember Chinese Characters.
C. A Well Designed Page about Chinese Food. D. How to Order Food in Restaurants in China.

I grew up in a three-bedroom brick house in the Park Hill section of North Little Rock, Ark. It was a sweet, ordinary little home but reminded me of so much love.
I've always felt I was raised by a beautiful fairy. My mom, Nellie, was soft-spoken and had an extraordinary smile. My father, Maurice, was a train conductor and his declining health was the most defining aspect of my childhood. When I was 8, the doctors told us that Dad had a severe heart condition and we needed to care for him. I developed magic al thinking, which was vital to my later acting. I'd say to myself that if I did this and that, my daddy would live.
After high school, I attended Hendrix College in Arkansas. When I was a freshman, they cast me in a school's big play. At the end, one of the drama professors said, "You don't really belong here. You belong in New York. They'd know what to do with you." He gave me a list of schools. He pointed to the Neighborhood Playhouse and said it was small but Sandy Meisner, the man who ran it was great. I auditioned （试镜） and a month later, I was accepted. Mom and I started crying.
After moving to New York, my big break came six years later, in 1977. I took a meeting about a movie called "Goin' South," with Jack Nicholson. After the audition, they said I wasn't quite right. Back in reception, I wanted to apologize for being stubborn. Jack was standing there. He said, "Are you waiting to see me " I told him I was but I didn't have a script. He gave me one and told me I'd have 10 minutes with him the next day. I made it to a screen test in L. A. Later, I was in Jack's office and asked if someone could approve my hotel expenses. Jack was smoking a cigar. He said, "Don't worry about it, kid. You' re on the payroll."
Today, my husband, actor Ted Danson, and I spend most of our time in Ojai, Calif. I also love the wildness of the mountain s I still own my childhood home in Arkansas. I haven't been able to part with it. Emotionally, the love from our parents is still there.
28. What motivated the author to develop her ability to acting

C. She was declined by manager Sandy Meisner.
D. She was highly praised by the drama professor.
30. How did Jack feel to the author's performance in the screen test

Is looking fashionable more important than being comfortable Many people seem to think so, judging by the things they wear. But fashion is not everything. It is more important to be a healthy and good person.
People go to great lengths to be fashionable. Some people think they have to have a certain body type, so they go on extreme, unhealthy diets in order to change their bodies. In addition, many women wear uncomfortable fashions, such as high-heeled shoes that cause pain to their feet, and tight body shapers that limit blood flow. Men and women alike spend time and money on products that change their natural hair color or hairstyle. Some people even spend several hours a day in front of a mirror. Is fashion so important that people spend so much time and effort changing what they look like
If the purpose of fashion is to make a person feel good, it does not make sense that he or she would go through so much discomfort to be fashion able. Fashion should not come first. People should put their health and positive image in the first place. What people wear does not say anything about their personalities. Instead of spending hours choosing a dress, perhaps you should call your friends and do something together, such as playing soccer or badminton. Instead of going on strict diets and forcing yourself to stay hungry, why not eat some healthy foods and then exercise By doing these things, you can keep a healthy lifestyle and truly grow as a person.
32. Why does the author include questions in the text
A. To enrich the content. B. To introduce a new topic.
C. To present different ideas. D. To encourage readers to think.

35. What is the author's main purpose in writing the text
A. To introduce the latest fashion trends.
B. To tell readers how to remain fashionable.
C. To advise readers to value health over fashion.
D. To show readers advantages and disadvantages of dieting.

The pain we feel may be nature's way of telling us it's time to take notice of our inner selves. Should you be facing painful times, we urge you to reach out to get the help and support you need. 36 Maybe you feel you shouldn't expose your pain since you're supposed to be cool and act like you can handle things. Even though you may feel that no one can help you get over your pain, the important thing is to reach out. Here are some positive ways to deal with pain.
● 37 Talking about what hurts is an important first step. Even if you feel that no one can do anything to make the hurt go away, talking to someone you trust can ease the weight of painful feelings.
●Keep a journal. This is a good way to measure your progress in "getting to the other side" of things. 38 That way when you read how you felt about something a week or a month ago, and then read how you feel about it today, you'll see how you are progressing. Should you feel things aren't getting better, that is good information, too. 39
●Be extra good to yourself. Especially when life hurts, it's time to take extra good care of yourself. Get enough rest, eat properly, get the exercise your body needs to burn off the tension, listen to soft music, and don't forget those extra hugs for your pet. 40 Be sure to be that for yourself, as well.
●See a professional counselor（咨询师）. Seeing a trained professional is an excellent way to work through painful times. Ask your parents or school counselor to help you find one.
A. Try to bear your pain.
B. Don't keep it all inside.
C. Be sure to date each entry.
D. Maybe you believe that no one will understand you.
E. You know what a source of comfort you are to others.
F. It is also a good way to improve your writing skills gradually.
G. It means you may need more outside support than you're getting.

Natasha Steer and her son Zac were about to miss their bus. As she turned the corner, she called back over her shoulder. "Zac, PLEASE. We're going to miss it!" They were walking from their hotel in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, and Zac was dragging behind. It was hot and his bag was heavy, but Steer kept up the pace—they'd be left behind otherwise.
"My stomach hurts!" Zac's voice came from too far behind her. She turned, impatient. "I know, butwe really need to keep going, OK "
"OK …but it really hurts …"
She turned to keep walking, assuming that if she kept up the pace he'd speed it up, too. She felt bad. Her nine-year-old son was rightfully uncomfortable under his backpack and the hot sun during a long walk, and a stomach ache on top of that couldn't be pleasant. Still, they needed to make this bus to Ho Chi Min City. He'd be able to rest once we sat down.
She sped up as they neared the bus stop, eyes searching the platforms until they landed with relief on their bus. She turned to see Zac dragging himself up the sidewalk, leaving her pack on the ground before walking back toward him. She took his bag off so she could carry it the rest of the way.
"Does it still hurt " asked Steer.
He nodded. "I don't feel good."
Steer handed Zac some water and told him he would feel better if they got on the bus and she carried their backpacks to the bus, leaving them in the pile with the others while she searched her pocket for their bus tickets.
On the bus and in their seats, she handed Zac the water bottle one more time. He leaned his head on her shoulder, closing his eyes. Suddenly, Zac doubled over, vomiting onto his feet.
"Oh no—hold on!" she moved quickly to get him a bag to vomit（呕吐） in, saving his feet and the floor from some of the mess. He looked up, apologetic, and Steer felt the eyes of everyone on the bus on them. "Don't worry about it honey, it doesn't matter—do you feel better Here—have some water."
As she twisted off the cap, Zac began to throw up again—only this time, there was no bag. Moving quickly to help him, Steer knocked over the two-liter water bottle.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
She felt flurried（慌乱） as the bus attendant came up to see what was happening.Learning about Zac's serious conditions, all other passengers did what Steer unexpected.

She felt flurried（慌乱） as the bus attendant came up to see what was happening . Fearing that they might not let them stay on the bus if they thought he was sick, Steer explained to the attendant that maybe it was motion sickness that made Zac vomit, regretting to him and the passengers for making the floor of the bus dirty. However, the attendant was very warmhearted and asked them move up to the front. She supported the kid into Steer's shoulder and told him to close his eyes or stare straight ahead so he wouldn't get sick. But it didn't make sense.
Learning about Zac's serious conditions, all other passengers did what Steer unexpected. They begged the driver to rush Zac to the nearest hospital, which made Steer's welling up in her eyes. Despite kicking against the rules, the driver eventually accepted their request and sent Steer and her son to the nearest hospital. On arrival of the nearest hospital, Zac was diagnosed with food poisoning and was given appropriate cure. The kid was safe, making her relieved a lot . She was very grateful to the attendant and the passengers on the bus and a great warmth filled her that day.

If the dog crosses the line, the collar alerts the owner via a mobile phone app and helps him track and find the dog,(19) even in remote areas like forests. The collar makes two noises, followed by a mild electric shock to tell the dog to go back. Products which give shocks to pet s are sometimes unpopular.
Electric collars used for training are illegal in the UK, but the maker of this invention hopes to put it on sale in the US in around a year's time. (20)

33. C 根据第二段“Some people think they have to have a certain body type, so they go on extreme, unhealthy diets in order to change their bodies. In addition, many women wear uncomfortable fashions, such as high-heeled shoes that cause pain to their feet, and tight body shapers that limit blood flow. Men and women alike spend time and money on products that change their natural hair color or hairstyle. Some people even spend several hours a day in front of a mirror.”可知，本段主要介绍了人们为了时尚付出的代价。故选C项。

40. E空前说到“●Be extra good to yourself. Especially when life hurts, it's time to take extra good care of yourself.
