(2019·成都市毕业班摸底测试)A fun way to learn about the people in the destinations you travel to around the globe is to drop into a friendly local bar off the beaten tourist track and enjoy a sip of something the region is famous for. To help you have fun, we've rounded up how to say“Cheers！”around the world.
Who doesn't dream of living the good life in France? The food alone is well worth the trip since the French basically invented fine cuisine. They also invented a little golden liquid called the Champagne! Just before your first sip, look at your friends in the eyes and simply say their“cheers”：à votre santé！
Is it just us, or is the Italian treat called prosecco sweeping the nation by storm? It's lovely anytime: brunch, to celebrate something, or just to slowly sip while catching up with a dear friend. It originated in Italy's Veneto region but is now available all over the world. When in Italy, the most common toast is “cin cin”， which has its origins in China. However, do not use this as a toast in Japan. It is what could get you kicked out of a bar or possibly the entire country. If you find yourself in the land of Japan, stick with “kampai”， which means “cheers！”
If you haven't been to Ireland—what are you waiting for? It's the friendliest place, and one of the funniest on the planet, and the pubs are full of stories, where locals and visitors gather to lift a glass of Guinness. The Irish language can be a bit tricky for visitors to grasp but, again, practice makes perfect. Simply say, “Slàinte mhath.”
【语篇解读】 本文是一篇说明文。在不同国家和地区，如何表达“干杯”体现了当地的文化和风情。本文分别介绍了在法国、意大利、日本和爱尔兰如何表达“干杯”。
1．What is the French way of saying “Cheers”？
A．A votre santé. B．Cin cin.
C．Kampai. D．Slàinte mhath.
A [细节理解题。根据第二段尾句“Just before your first sip, look at your friends in the eyes and simply say their ‘cheers’：à votre santé！”可知，在法国，干杯时说“à votre santé”，故A项正确。]
2．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A．The Italian wine.
B．A toast from China.
C．A Japanese custom.
D．A French expression.
B [代词指代题。根据第三段第四、五句“When in Italy, the most common toast is‘cin cin’， which has its origins in China. However, do not use this as a toast in Japan”可知，意大利常见的祝酒词是“cin cin”，起源于中国；然而在日本，不要把这个当作祝酒词。结合该句“It is what could get you kicked out of a bar or possibly the entire country”可知，这种起源于中国的祝酒词可能让你被赶出酒吧；据此可知，It指代源于中国的祝酒词，故B项正确。]
3．What can we learn about Ireland from the text?
A．It is famous for food.
B．Its language is simple.
C．It makes perfect wine.
D．It is well worth visiting.
D [推理判断题。根据尾段第二句“It's the friendliest place, and one of the funniest on the planet, and the pubs are full of stories, where locals and visitors gather to lift a glass of Guinness”可知，爱尔兰是最友好的地方，也是世界上最有趣的地方之一，酒吧里充满了故事，在那里当地人和游客聚在一起举杯畅饮。据此可以判断，爱尔兰值得一游，故D项正确。]
4．What's the main purpose of the text?
A．To introduce the world-famous wine.
B．To show how to make friends in bars.
C．To give suggestions on drinking regionally.
D．To recommend some famous travel destinations.
C [写作意图题。通读全文可知，本文第一段尾句“To help you have fun, we've rounded up how to say ‘Cheers！’ around the world”为文章的主题句，结合全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了在不同国家和地区说“干杯”的方式；据此可以判断，本文旨在介绍在不同国家和地区如何说“干杯”，故C项正确。]

(2019·陕西省部分学校摸底检测)In the story of The Crow and the Pitcher from Aesop's Fables, a thirsty crow(乌鸦) drops stones into a narrow jar to raise the low level of water inside so he can take a drink.
Now scientists have evidence to back up that story. Crows actually do understand how to make water displacement(排水量) work to their advantage, experiments show. The results suggest that the birds are, at least in some aspects, as smart as first-graders.
Researchers, led by Sarah Jelbert at the University of Cambridge, presented six crows with tubes containing water. Inside the tubes, a worm or a piece of meat on a piece of wood was floating, just out of reach of the crow. In front of the tubes, the researchers arranged several rubber erasers that would sink, and some plastic objects that would float. The crows found out that they could drop the erasers into the tubes in order to raise the water level and get their snack.
However, the birds handled awkwardly in experiments in which they could choose to drop objects in either a wide tube or a narrow one to get a snack, the researchers said. Dropping objects into a narrow tube would lift the water level by a greater amount and put the treat within reach after just two drops; while it took around seven drops to raise the snack to the same level in the wide tube. The crows obviously didn't realize this, and most of them went for the wide tube first.
Previous studies showed that chimps and human children can solve similar tasks. In a 2011 study, chimps and kids found out that they could put water into a tube to reach a peanut that was floating in a small amount of water at the bottom.
【语篇解读】 本文介绍了科学家通过实验对乌鸦智商的研究。
5．How did the crows get the snack in Sarah's experiment?
A．By breaking the tube.
B．By dropping in erasers.
C．By standing on the wood.
D．By removing the wood.
B [细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“The crows found out that they could drop the erasers into the tubes in order to raise the water level and get their snack”可知，乌鸦能够把橡皮擦扔到管里，使水位升高，然后吃到零食。所以选B项。]
6．What does the author mean by “the birds handled awkwardly” in Paragraph 4?
A．They were unable to tell different shapes.
B．They dropped objects only into narrow tubes.
C．They were not aware of the snack at first sight.
D．They mostly avoided the easier way to get the snack.

It was a man called Darren who explained he was behind me in the shop this morning. As I was leaving, my purse 5 . He picked it up and 6 to see where I had gone but he couldn't see me anymore. So he opened my purse and called the number inside it.
I have just been to 7 him to get my purse back, only to find out Darren is 8 and lives rough in the streets of Cardiff.

I admit that I wouldn't have blamed him if he'd spent more of the 11 ．
I felt 12 that someone returned it, and that the person who returned it was someone who had nothing. It made me 13 not only was I lucky that my purse was found by someone 14 ， but that I was going to a warm home.
