????Hello
and
welcome
to
English
with
Lucy.
Today
we
have
another
topic:
"Four
Common
British
Expressions."
Now,
before
we
get
started,
make
sure
you
connect
with
me
on
all
my
social
media,
which
is
right
here.
You
can
subscribe
to(订阅)
my
YouTube.
You
can
also
like
me
on
Facebook.
And
for
my
Chinese
followers,
I
have
my
Weibo
account
as
well.
?Four
Common
British
Expressions:
??"A
piece
of
cake."
????And
this
is
very
similar
to
"easy-peasy,
lemon
squeezy,"
which
we've
discussed
in
a
former
video.
And
basically,
it
means
very
easy.
So
I
might
come
out
of
an
easy
exam
saying,
"That
exam
was
a
piece
of
cake."
?"Break
a
leg!"
????It
actually
looks
really
rather
cruel,
but
I
promise
you
it's
positive.
And
"Break
a
leg!"
means
"Good
luck!"
So
before
a
race,
before
a
job
interview,
before
a
test,
instead
of
saying
"Good
luck!,"
I
might
say
"Break
a
leg!"
Do
really
well.
?"It
cost
an
arm
and
a
leg."
????And
this
basically
means
something
was
really
expensive.
If
I
say,
"My
bag
cost
an
arm
and
a
leg,"
I
mean
it
cost
a
lot
of
money.
?"To
call
it
a
day."
????And
this
means
"to
end
a
task."
So,
for
example,
"I'm
feeling
a
bit
tired.
I
think
I'll
call
it
a
day."
That
means
"I
think
I'll
stop
here.
Let's
finish."
????Thank
you
so
much
for
watching
this
program
of
"Four
Common
British
Expressions."
I
hope
you
like
it,
and
I
hope
you've
learned
something.

B
Cross-cultural
misunderstandings
occur
when
people
from
one
culture
do
not
understand
the
actions
and
behavior
of
people
from
another
culture.
Everyone
has
experienced
that
feeling
of
being
socially
or
culturally
“off
balance”
at
some
stage.
It
happens
when
we
enter
unfamiliar
cultural
environments
and
find
that
things
are
strange
or
different.
For
example,
it
can
occur
when
a
person
begins
a
new
job.
Until
an
employee
can
operate
comfortably
and
successfully
within
the
social
and
cultural
environment
of
a
new
workplace,
he
cannot
be
fully
effective.
Knowing
about
the
diversity
of
traditional
and
cultural
backgrounds
of
our
customers
and
colleagues
will
not
automatically
rule
out
misunderstandings.
However,
if
we
do
know
something
about
it,
we
can
often
take
steps
to
prevent
misunderstandings
from
occurring.
It
is
a
matter
of
being
aware
of
when,
where
and
why
a
misunderstanding
may
occur.
There
may
be
a
language
barrier
that
can
make
clear
communication
difficult.
The
way
we
communicate
is
a
common
cause
of
misunderstanding.
For
example,
jokes
often
rely
on
a
creative
use
of
language
and
sometimes
these
can
be
interpreted
in
many
ways,
which
may
be
confusing
or
even
offensive.
Non-verbal
behavior
and
body
language
can
be
a
source
of
misunderstanding.
For
example,
eye
contact
can
be
considered
by
some
people
as
overly
long
and
therefore
rude.
Addressing
customers
by
their
first
names
may
not
always
be
inappropriate.
Check
with
your
customers
how
they
like
to
be
addressed.
People
from
different
religious
or
cultural
backgrounds
or
with
personal
preferences
may
have
specific
dietary
requirements.
Check
their
requirements
when
determining
any
food
menus.
Offering
alcohol
to
guests
whose
religion
doesn’t
allow
them
to
enjoy
can
create
a
tense
situation
at
the
beginning
of
a
meal.
5.
If
a
new
employee
doesn’t
perform
highly
effective,
which
can
be
a
reason?
A.
He
can’t
understand
the
working
rules
well.
B.
He
is
not
satisfied
with
his
new
occupation.
C.
He
is
not
familiar
with
the
new
working
environment.
D.
He
usually
fails
to
operate
the
equipment
successfully.
6.
What
can
a
knowledge
of
the
diversity
of
traditional
and
cultural
backgrounds
do?
A.
Clear
up
misunderstandings.
B.
Help
prevent
misunderstandings.
C.
Tell
us
how
to
predict
misunderstandings.
D.
Remind
us
of
the
existence
of
misunderstandings.
7.
What
would
make
jokes
confusing
or
even
offensive?
A.
Rude
words
used.
B.
Poor
translation.
C.
Different
understanding.
D.
Creative
thought
in
them.
8.
Which
of
the
following
is
a
proper
way
to
avoid
cultural
misunderstanding?
A.
Use
as
little
body
language
as
possible.
B.
Avoid
making
eye
contact
when
talking.

Address
customers
always
by
their
first
names.
D.
Offer
your
guests
food
according
to
their
requirements.

Lunch
is
a
part
of
Chinese
culture.
When
I'm
back
home
in
England,
I
often
miss
Chinese
lunch.
?
??At
home,
at
work,
at
school,
English
lunchtime
is
far
from
a
formal
meal
of
the
day.
It
seems
that
we
can't
wait
to
finish
lunch
as
quickly
as
possible.
People
working
in
the
office
take
out
packed
sandwiches
that
are
not
delicious.
Work
canteens(餐厅)
are
crowded
with
people
too
busy
to
eat,
rushing
to
the
checkout(收银台)
with
something
in
hand
so
that
they
can
quickly
eat
up
on
the
way
to
another
meeting.
A
lot
of
work
in
England
leaves
little
time
to
have
our
meals
and
enjoy
them.
Perhaps
this
is
why
so
many
of
us
hold
such
unhealthy
relationships
with
food.
?
??The
way
we
plan
our
days
in
England
shows
we
don't
care
about
mealtimes.
Meetings,
lectures,
interviews
and
so
on
are
all
planned
from
12
a.m.
to
2
p.m.
In
Beijing
lunch
often
starts
from
11:30
p.m.
to
1
p.m.
And
owners
of
many
shops
gather
in
small
groups
to
share
a
meal,
which
is
hardly
seen
in
England.
I
have
never
experienced
such
a
culture
where
finding
time
to
eat
is
so
important.
?
??In
China,
food
is
shared
and
the
time
is
enjoyed
as
a
moment
of
get-together
in
busy
days.
This
is
a
value
and
practice
we
should
hold
in
our
lives
in
England.
In
China
food
is
not
only
a
necessity(必需品),
but
also
a
time
for
get-together
with
friends
and
family,
and
I
love
it.
9.
Why
can't
most
English
people
enjoy
their
lunch?
A.
They
think
British
food
is
terrible.
B.
They
are
anxious
to
go
shopping.
C.
They
are
too
busy
with
work.
D.
They
have
much
housework.
10.
Which
does
the
author
like
most
about
Chinese
lunch?
A.
Its
atmosphere
B.
Its
taste
C.
Its
price
D.
Its
kinds
11.
What
can
we
learn
from
Paragraph
3?
A.
English
people
don't
take
mealtimes
seriously.
B.
English
lunchtime
lasts
one
and
a
half
hours.
C.
English
people
never
experience
Chinese
culture.
D.
English
people
like
to
get
together
in
groups.
12.
What
is
mainly
talked
about
in
the
text?
A.
The
best
way
to
experience
Chinese
lunch.
B.
Lunch
differences
between
China
and
England.
C.
Suggestions
of
enjoying
English
culture.
D.
The
stressful
lifestyles
of
English
people.

A
British
friend
told
me
he
couldn't
understand
why
Chinese
people
love
eating
sunflower
seeds(嗑瓜子)as
a
snack
so
much.
"I've
met
a
lot
of
older
Chinese
and
many
have
a
crack
in
their
front
teeth,
I
believe
that's
from
cracking
the
seeds,"
he
said.
I
had
never
noticed
the
habit,but
once
he
mentioned
it,I
suddenly
became
more
aware.
I
realized
that
whenever
I'm
watching
TV
or
typing
a
report,I
always
start
mindlessly
cracking
sunflower
seeds.
My
friend
doesn't
like
sunflower
seeds,and,to
him,it
seems
unnecessary
to
work
so
much
just
to
get
one
small
seed.
When
we
were
young,the
whole
family
would
usually
get
together
for
Chinese
New
Year.
Then,we
all
lived
close
to
one
another,usually
in
a
small
city,and
sometimes
even
neighbors
would
go
door-to-door
on
Chinese
New
Year's
Eve
to
check
out
what
every
household
was
making.
I
remember
my
parents
would
be
in
the
kitchen
cooking.
Out
in
the
living
room,a
large
table
would
already
be
laid
out,complete
with
fancy
tablecloth,ready-made
dumpling
fillings,and
dishes
full
of
candy,fruits
and
sunflower
seeds.
Some
of
the
dishes
were
to
be
offered
to
our
ancestors
later,while
others
were
for
neighbors
and
children
to
eat
before
the
evening
feast.
I
must
have
learned
how
to
crack
sunflower
seeds
back
then.
I
don't
think
it's
right
to
criticize
one's
choice
in
food
or
eating
habits,no
matter
how
strange
they
may
seem.
It's
not
only
in
China.
When
I
went
abroad,I
found
people
had
all
sorts
of
strange
habits
when
it
came
to
food.
In
Denmark,they
put
salted
red
fish
on
bread
and
eat
it
for
dinner,no
matter
how
much
it
ruins
your
breath.
They
think
it's
delicacy(美味佳肴),and
it's
connected
to
their
certain
culture.
I
think
it's
a
wonderful
tradition.
13.
Why
can
the
British
friend
not
understand
when
he
found
Chinese
love
eating
sunflower
seeds?
A.
Because
the
seeds
are
too
hard
to
crack.
B.
Because
he
thinks
they
art
harmful
to
teeth.
C.
Because
he
doesn't
think
the
seeds
are
good.
D.
Because
he
doesn't
thinks
the
seeds
are
worth
eating.
14.
What
does
the
writer
prove
by
mentioning
Chinese
New
Year?
A.
The
families
get
together
for
it.
B.
Eating
sunflower
seeds
is
related
to
it.
C.
The
traditions
of
celebrating
it
disappear.
D.
Children
can
eat
delicious
food
on
that
day.
15.
What's
the
writer's
attitude
to
Denmark's
way
of
eating
bread?
A.
indifferent
B.
critical
C.
understandable
D.
doubtful
16.
What
idea
does
the
writer
want
to
express
in
this
passage?
A.
It
is
good
to
form
healthy
eating
habits.
B.
Eating
habits
come
from
a
certain
culture.
C.
Changing
your
eating
habits
will
change
your
life.
D.
One
kind
of
food
doesn't
necessarily
suit
everyone.

(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
?
While
you
are
traveling
abroad,
cultural
mistakes
are
more
serious
than
linguistic
mistakes,
which
can
lead
to
serious
misunderstanding
and
even
ill-feeling
between
individuals.
??
(16)
??
●Touching
Someone
??????
(17)
??
In
Mediterranean
countries,
if
you
don't
touch
someone's
arm
when
talking
to
them
or
if
you
don't
greet
them
with
kisses
or
a
warm
hug,
you'll
be
considered
cold.
But
backslap
(拍背)
someone
who
isn't
a
family
member
or
a
good
friend
in
Korea,
and
you'll
make
them
uncomfortable.
In
Thailand,
the
head
is
considered
sacred—never
even
pat
a
child
on
the
head.
●Talking
Over
Dinner
????In
some
countries,
like
China,
Japan
and
some
African
nations,
the
food's
the
thing,
so
don't
start
chatting
about
your
day's
adventures
while
everyone
else
is
digging
into
dinner.
??
(18)
??
It's
not
because
your
group
is
unfriendly,
but
because
meal
times
are
for
eating,
not
talking.
●
Removing
Your
Shoes
or
Not
????Take
off
your
shoes
when
arriving
at
the
door
of
a
London
dinner
party
and
the
hostess
will
find
you
uncivilized,
but
fail
to
remove
your
shoes
before
entering
a
home
in
Asia,
Hawaii,
or
the
Pacific
Islands
and
you'll
be
considered
disrespectful.
So,
if
you
see
a
row
of
shoes
at
the
door,
start
undoing
your
laces.
??
(19)
??
????Once
you
are
on
the
ground
of
a
different
country,
remain
highly
sensitive
to
native
behavior.
??
(20)
??
And
don't
feel
offended
if
something
seems
offensive—like
queue
jumping.
After
all,
this
is
a
global
village,
and
we
are
all
very
different.
A.
Personal
space
varies
as
you
travel
the
globe.
B.
Asians
consider
removing
shoes
impolite
at
home.
C.
Never
be
completely
surprised
by
anything.
D.
The
linguistic
mistake
means
that
someone
is
not
fully
expressing
his
idea.
E.
Look
out
for
the
following
cultural
mistakes
and
try
to
avoid
them.
F.
If
not,
keep
the
shoes
on.
G.
You'll
be
likely
to
meet
with
silence.
第二部分
语言运用(共两节,满分30分)
第一节
(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Every
culture
on
the
planet
has
certain
topics
that
people
avoid
discussing.
But
the
taboos
(禁忌)
of
one
culture
may
be
very
different
from
those
of
another.
You
may
be???(21)???that
people
from
other
cultures
say
what
you
can't
talk
about.
????Paying
attention
to
what
people
don't???(22)???can
teach
us
something
important
about
their
culture.
Their
taboo
topics
give
us
clues
about
what
they
value,
respect
or
even
fear.
Topics
that
are
considered
too
personal
or
too
controversial
(有争议的)
may
also
be
avoided.
????America
is
full
of
taboo
topics.
Usually,
during
a
polite
conversation,
Americans
will???(23)???both
politics
and
religion.
They
also
avoid
talking
about
racial
issues
(种族问题).
????Why?
Because
these
topics
can
cause
strong
opinions
and???(24)??.
Americans
believe
it's
best
to
avoid
them—especially
at
social
gatherings.
????Many
Americans
also
do
not
feel???(25)???talking
about
their
personal
income,
age
or
health.???(26)??,
they
prefer
to
make
small
talks
about
the
weather,
sports
or
common
interests.
????What
do
these
taboos
tell
us
about
American???(27)???
For
one,
they
show
that
Americans
place
importance
on???(28)??.
America
certainly
isn't
the
only
place
that
values
it.
You
will
find???(29)???taboos
about
asking
personal
questions
in
many
European
countries.
"This
is
especially
true
in
Germany,"
says
Hanna
Graf,
a
German
living
in
Shanghai.
"In
Germany,
you
are
not
supposed
to
ask
about
other
people's
personal
business,"
she
says.
"But
there
are
no???(30)???rules
about
what
you
can't
ask;
it's
just
in
people's
minds."
????In
Brazil,???(31)??,
almost
anything
seems
open
to
discussion.
"Brazilians
talk
about
all
kinds
of
personal
issues,"
says
Mark
Quinlan,
who
grew
up
in
Brazil.
But
of
course,
even
Brazil
has
its
own
taboos.
In
Brazil,
soccer
is
the
one
topic
that
can
turn
friends
into
enemies.
Brazilians
love
the
sport.
Saying
anything???(32)???about
soccer
can
cause
big
trouble.
Even
expressing
preference
for
one
team
over
another
can
be???(33)??.
????Like
Brazilians,
Australians
talk
freely
about
almost
anything.
However,
they
do
not
talk
about
their
personal
or
business???(34)??.
They
prefer
to
let
people
judge
them
by
their
actions,
not
their
words.
Boasting
(夸大)
your
achievements
will
only
make
you
the???(35)???of
other
people's
jokes.
????And
what
about
your
taboos?
The
next
time
you
have
a
conversation,
pay
attention
to
what
isn't
said.
You
might
be
amazed
at
what
you
learn
about
your
own
culture.
21.
A.
excited
B.
surprised
C.
fascinated
D.

Why
is
pink
or
purple
a
color
for
girls
and
blue
or
brown
for
boys?
The
answer
depends
largely
??(36)??
cultural
values
as
well
as
personal
experiences.
????People's
choice
of
colors
is
also
influenced
by
their
bodies'
reactions
(反应)
toward
them.
Green
is
said
to
be
the
most
restful
color.
It
has
the
ability
to
reduce
pain
and
relax
people
both
mentally
and
physically.
People
??(37)??(work)
in
green
environment
have
been
found
to
have
??(38)??
stomach
aches.
To
the
Egyptians,
green
was
a
color
??(39)??
represented
the
hope
and
joy
of
spring,
??(40)??
for
Muslims,
it
means
heaven.
????Red
is
a
symbol
of
good
luck
in
many
cultures.
In
China,
children
??(41)??(give)
money
in
a
red
envelope
to
bring
good
fortune
in
the
New
Year.
Red
can
cause
a
person's
blood
pressure
to
rise
and
increase
people's
appetites
(食欲).
Many
decorators
will
include
different
shades
of
red
in
the
restaurant.
??(42)??(similar),
many
commercial
websites
will
have
a
red
"Buy
Now"
button
because
red
is
a
color
that
easily
catches
a
person's
eyes.
????For
many
nations,
blue
is
a
symbol
of
protection
and
religious
beliefs.
Greek
people
often
wear
a
blue
necklace,
??(43)??(hope)
to
protect
themselves
against
evils
(灾祸).
Blue
is
another
calming
color.
??(44)??
red,
blue
can
cause
people
to
lose
appetite.
So
??(45)??
you
want
to
eat
less,
some
suggest
that
eating
from
blue
plates
can
help.

第二节
(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
A
monk(和尚)
used
to
live
in
a
hut
at
a
side
of
a
village.
He
read
books
all
day
long,
without
worrying
for
food
or
money.
He
was
a
very
kind
and
tender-hearted
person.
All
the
villagers
greatly
admired
his
noble
character.
That
is
why
everyone
offered
him
food
and
wanted
to
help
him.
????
Once,
it
was
a
cold
winter.
The
monk
had
a
fire
burning
in
his
hut
for
warmth.
Suddenly,
there
was
a
knock
at
his
door.
The
monk
wondered
who
it
could
be
out
at
such
a
cold
night,
He
opened
the
door
and
found
a
fox
out
there
shivering
in
cold.
She
spoke,
"I
live
on
the
hills
out
there.
Heavy
snow
is
falling
there,
making
my
life
difficult.
Please
kindly
give
me
a
little
room
in
your
hut
for
the
night.
I
will
go
away
in
the
morning."
The
monk
politely
called
her
in
and
said,
"Don't
worry,
dear.
You
can
live
here
as
long
as
you
wish."
In
the
warmth
of
the
heated
hut
the
fox
felt
very
comfortable.
The
monk
gave
her
some
bread
and
milk.
The
fox
quickly
ate
it
and
slept
in
a
corner.
???
?In
the
morning,
the
fox
asked
for
the
permission
to
leave.
The
monk
told
her
to
come
whenever
she
liked.
The
fox
again
came
back
at
the
night.
The
monk
talked
with
her
about
the
day's
happenings
and
gave
her
some
food.
After
eating,
the
fox
went
to
sleep.
????
A
few
months
passed
and
the
season
changed.
One
day
the
fox
said,
"You
took
so
great
care
of
me
all
through
the
winter,
I
want
to
do
something
for
you
in
return."
The
monk
remarked,
"Dear
fox,
it
was
my
duty
to
do
something
for
you.
Please
don't
embarrass
me
by
talking
in
this
way."
The
fox
pleaded,
"I
am
not
trying
to
pay
back
your
kindness.
I
love
you
and
respect
you.
By
doing
something
for
you
I
will
feel
a
great
pride
in
me.
I
wish
to
be
of
some
use
to
you."
Paragraph
1:
????The
monk
thought
for
some
time
and
hesitantly
said,
"I
don't
need
anything.
But
sometimes
I
wish
I
had
a
piece
of
gold.

six
months

the
fox
had
gone.

A
1.
????Hello
and
welcome
to
English
with
Lucy.
Today
we
have
another
topic:
"Four
Common
British
Expressions."
Now,
before
we
get
started,
make
sure
you
connect
with
me
on
all
my
social
media,
which
is
right
here.
You
can
subscribe
to(订阅)
my
YouTube.
You
can
also
like
me
on
Facebook.
And
for
my
Chinese
followers,
I
have
my
Weibo
account
as
well.
?Four
Common
British
Expressions:
??"A
piece
of
cake."
????And
this
is
very
similar
to
"easy-peasy,
lemon
squeezy,"
which
we've
discussed
in
a
former
video.
And
basically,
it
means
very
easy.
So
I
might
come
out
of
an
easy
exam
saying,
"That
exam
was
a
piece
of
cake."
?"Break
a
leg!"
????It
actually
looks
really
rather
cruel,
but
I
promise
you
it's
positive.
And
"Break
a
leg!"
means
"Good
luck!"
So
before
a
race,
before
a
job
interview,
before
a
test,
instead
of
saying
"Good
luck!,"
I
might
say
"Break
a
leg!"
Do
really
well.
?"It
cost
an
arm
and
a
leg."
????And
this
basically
means
something
was
really
expensive.
If
I
say,
"My
bag
cost
an
arm
and
a
leg,"
I
mean
it
cost
a
lot
of
money.
?"To
call
it
a
day."
????And
this
means
"to
end
a
task."
So,
for
example,
"I'm
feeling
a
bit
tired.
I
think
I'll
call
it
a
day."
That
means
"I
think
I'll
stop
here.
Let's
finish."
????Thank
you
so
much
for
watching
this
program
of
"Four
Common
British
Expressions."
I
hope
you
like
it,
and
I
hope
you've
learned
something.

well可知,中国听众可以通过微博和Lucy联系。故选B项。
3.
When
John
went
to
an
English
Speech
Competition,
you
should
say
"______"
to
him.
A.
Break
a
leg!
B.
It
cost
an
arm
and
a
leg.
C.
To
call
it
a
day.
D.
A
piece
of
cake.
【答案】A
【解析】本题考查判断推理题。根据"Break
a
leg!"中And
"Break
a
leg!"
means
"Good
luck!"
So
before
a
race,
before
a
job
interview,
before
a
test,
instead
of
saying
"Good
luck!,"
I
might
say
"Break
a
leg!"可知,当约翰去参加英语演讲比赛时,你应该对他说“Break
a
leg!(祝你好运)”。故选A项。
4.
When
the
teacher
says
"Let's
call
it
a
day",
what
does
he/she
mean?
A.
He/She
will
stop
that
day.
B.
He/She
feels
tired.
C.
Class
is
over.
D.
It
is
daytime.
【答案】C
【解析】本题考查判断推理题。根据"To
call
it
a
day."中And
this
means
"to
end
a
task."可知,老师的意思是“课结束了”。故选C项。
B
Cross-cultural
misunderstandings
occur
when
people
from
one
culture
do
not
understand
the
actions
and
behavior
of
people
from
another
culture.
Everyone
has
experienced
that
feeling
of
being
socially
or
culturally
“off
balance”
at
some
stage.
It
happens
when
we
enter
unfamiliar
cultural
environments
and
find
that
things
are
strange
or
different.
For
example,
it
can
occur
when
a
person
begins
a
new
job.
Until
an
employee
can
operate
comfortably
and
successfully
within
the
social
and
cultural
environment
of
a
new
workplace,
he
cannot
be
fully
effective.
Knowing
about
the
diversity
of
traditional
and
cultural
backgrounds
of
our
customers
and
colleagues
will
not
automatically
rule
out
misunderstandings.
However,
if
we
do
know
something
about
it,
we
can
often
take
steps
to
prevent
misunderstandings
from
occurring.
It
is
a
matter
of
being
aware
of
when,
where
and
why
a
misunderstanding
may
occur.
There
may
be
a
language
barrier
that
can
make
clear
communication
difficult.
The
way
we
communicate
is
a
common
cause
of
misunderstanding.
For
example,
jokes
often
rely
on
a
creative
use
of
language
and
sometimes
these
can
be
interpreted
in
many
ways,
which
may
be
confusing
or
even
offensive.
Non-verbal
behavior
and
body
language
can
be
a
source
of
misunderstanding.
For
example,
eye
contact
can
be
considered
by
some
people
as
overly
long
and
therefore
rude.
Addressing
customers
by
their
first
names
may
not
always
be
inappropriate.
Check
with
your
customers
how
they
like
to
be
addressed.
People
from
different
religious
or
cultural
backgrounds
or
with
personal
preferences
may
have
specific
dietary
requirements.
Check
their
requirements
when
determining
any
food
menus.
Offering
alcohol
to
guests
whose
religion
doesn’t
allow
them
to
enjoy
can
create
a
tense
situation
at
the
beginning
of
a
meal.
5.
If
a
new
employee
doesn’t
perform
highly
effective,
which
can
be
a
reason?
A.
He
can’t
understand
the
working
rules
well.
B.
He
is
not
satisfied
with
his
new
occupation.
C.
He
is
not
familiar
with
the
new
working
environment.
D.
He
usually
fails
to
operate
the
equipment
successfully.
【答案】C

6.
What
can
a
knowledge
of
the
diversity
of
traditional
and
cultural
backgrounds
do?
A.
Clear
up
misunderstandings.
B.
Help
prevent
misunderstandings.
C.

D.
Remind

What
would
make

Lunch
is
a
part
of
Chinese
culture.
When
I'm
back
home
in
England,
I
often
miss
Chinese
lunch.
?
??At
home,
at
work,
at
school,
English
lunchtime
is
far
from
a
formal
meal
of
the
day.
It
seems
that
we
can't
wait
to
finish
lunch
as
quickly
as
possible.
People
working
in
the
office
take
out
packed
sandwiches
that
are
not
delicious.
Work
canteens(餐厅)
are
crowded
with
people
too
busy
to
eat,
rushing
to
the
checkout(收银台)
with
something
in
hand
so
that
they
can
quickly
eat
up
on
the
way
to
another
meeting.
A
lot
of
work
in
England
leaves
little
time
to
have
our
meals
and
enjoy
them.
Perhaps
this
is
why
so
many
of
us
hold
such
unhealthy
relationships
with
food.
?
??The
way
we
plan
our
days
in
England
shows
we
don't
care
about
mealtimes.
Meetings,
lectures,
interviews
and
so
on
are
all
planned
from
12
a.m.
to
2
p.m.
In
Beijing
lunch
often
starts
from
11:30
p.m.
to
1
p.m.
And
owners
of
many
shops
gather
in
small
groups
to
share
a
meal,
which
is
hardly
seen
in
England.
I
have
never
experienced
such
a
culture
where
finding
time
to
eat
is
so
important.
?
??In
China,
food
is
shared
and
the
time
is
enjoyed
as
a
moment
of
get-together
in
busy
days.
This
is
a
value
and
practice
we
should
hold
in
our
lives
in
England.
In
China
food
is
not
only
a
necessity(必需品),
but
also
a
time
for
get-together
with
friends
and
family,
and
I
love
it.

Why
can't
most
English
people
enjoy
their
lunch?
A.
They

British
food
is

go
shopping.
C.

D
A
British
friend
told
me
he
couldn't
understand
why
Chinese
people
love
eating
sunflower
seeds(嗑瓜子)as
a
snack
so
much.
"I've
met
a
lot
of
older
Chinese
and
many
have
a
crack
in
their
front
teeth,
I
believe
that's
from
cracking
the
seeds,"
he
said.
I
had
never
noticed
the
habit,but
once
he
mentioned
it,I
suddenly
became
more
aware.
I
realized
that
whenever
I'm
watching
TV
or
typing
a
report,I
always
start
mindlessly
cracking
sunflower
seeds.
My
friend
doesn't
like
sunflower
seeds,and,to
him,it
seems
unnecessary
to
work
so
much
just
to
get
one
small
seed.
When
we
were
young,the
whole
family
would
usually
get
together
for
Chinese
New
Year.
Then,we
all
lived
close
to
one
another,usually
in
a
small
city,and
sometimes
even
neighbors
would
go
door-to-door
on
Chinese
New
Year's
Eve
to
check
out
what
every
household
was
making.
I
remember
my
parents
would
be
in
the
kitchen
cooking.
Out
in
the
living
room,a
large
table
would
already
be
laid
out,complete
with
fancy
tablecloth,ready-made
dumpling
fillings,and
dishes
full
of
candy,fruits
and
sunflower
seeds.
Some
of
the
dishes
were
to
be
offered
to
our
ancestors
later,while
others
were
for
neighbors
and
children
to
eat
before
the
evening
feast.
I
must
have
learned
how
to
crack
sunflower
seeds
back
then.
I
don't
think
it's
right
to
criticize
one's
choice
in
food
or
eating
habits,no
matter
how
strange
they
may
seem.
It's
not
only
in
China.
When
I
went
abroad,I
found
people
had
all
sorts
of
strange
habits
when
it
came
to
food.
In
Denmark,they
put
salted
red
fish
on
bread
and
eat
it
for
dinner,no
matter
how
much
it
ruins
your
breath.
They
think
it's
delicacy(美味佳肴),and
it's
connected
to
their
certain
culture.
I
think
it's
a
wonderful
tradition.
13.
Why
can
the
British
friend
not
understand
when
he
found
Chinese
love
eating
sunflower
seeds?
A.
Because
the
seeds
are
too
hard
to
crack.
B.
Because
he
thinks
they
art
harmful
to
teeth.
C.
Because
he
doesn't
think
the
seeds
are
good.
D.
Because
he
doesn't
thinks
the
seeds
are
worth
eating.
【答案】D
【解析】本题考查推理判断题。根据第二段"My
friend
doesn't
like
sunflower
seeds,and,to
him,it

work
so

one
small
seed.?我的朋友不喜欢葵花籽,而且,对他来说,似乎没有必要为了得到一颗小种子花那么多功夫。"可知当这位英国朋友发现中国人喜欢吃葵花籽时,他不明白因为他认为葵花籽不值得吃。故选D项。

While
you
are
traveling
abroad,
cultural
mistakes
are
more
serious

ill-feeling
between

●Touching
Someone
??????
(17)
??
In
Mediterranean
countries,
if
you
don't
touch
someone's
arm
when
talking
to
them
or
if
you
don't
greet
them
with
kisses
or
a
warm
hug,
you'll
be
considered
cold.
But
backslap
(拍背)
someone
who
isn't
a
family
member
or
a
good
friend
in
Korea,
and
you'll
make
them
uncomfortable.
In
Thailand,
the
head
is
considered
sacred—never
even
pat
a
child
on
the
head.
●Talking
Over
Dinner
????In
some
countries,
like
China,
Japan
and
some
African
nations,
the
food's
the
thing,
so
don't
start
chatting
about
your
day's
adventures
while
everyone
else
is
digging
into
dinner.
??
(18)

It's
not
because
your

is
unfriendly,
but
because
meal
times
are
for
eating,
not
talking.

Removing
Your
Shoes
or
Not
????Take
off
your
shoes
when
arriving
at
the
door

a
London
dinner
party

the
hostess
will
find
you
uncivilized,
but
fail
to
remove
your
shoes
before
entering
a
home
in
Asia,
Hawaii,
or
the
Pacific
Islands
and
you'll
be
considered
disrespectful.
So,
if
you
see
a
row
of
shoes
at
the
door,
start
undoing
your
laces.

????Once
you

remain
highly
sensitive

And
don't
feel

something
seems
offensive—like

After

Every
culture
on
the
planet
has
certain
topics
that
people
avoid
discussing.
But
the
taboos
(禁忌)
of
one
culture
may
be
very
different
from
those
of
another.
You
may
be???(21)???that
people
from
other
cultures
say
what
you
can't
talk
about.
????Paying
attention
to
what
people
don't???(22)???can
teach
us
something
important
about
their
culture.
Their
taboo
topics
give
us
clues
about
what
they
value,
respect
or
even
fear.
Topics
that
are
considered
too
personal
or
too
controversial
(有争议的)
may
also
be
avoided.
????America
is
full
of
taboo
topics.
Usually,
during
a
polite
conversation,
Americans
will???(23)???both
politics
and
religion.
They
also
avoid
talking
about
racial
issues
(种族问题).
????Why?
Because
these
topics
can
cause
strong
opinions
and???(24)??.
Americans
believe
it's
best
to
avoid
them—especially
at
social
gatherings.
????Many
Americans
also
do
not
feel???(25)???talking
about
their
personal
income,
age
or
health.???(26)??,
they
prefer
to
make
small
talks
about
the
weather,
sports
or
common
interests.
????What
do
these
taboos
tell
us
about
American???(27)???
For
one,
they
show
that
Americans
place
importance
on???(28)??.
America
certainly
isn't
the
only
place
that
values
it.
You
will
find???(29)???taboos
about
asking
personal
questions
in
many
European
countries.
"This
is
especially
true
in
Germany,"
says
Hanna
Graf,
a
German
living
in
Shanghai.
"In
Germany,
you
are
not
supposed
to
ask
about
other
people's
personal
business,"
she
says.
"But
there
are
no???(30)???rules
about
what
you
can't
ask;
it's
just
in
people's
minds."
????In
Brazil,???(31)??,
almost
anything
seems
open
to
discussion.
"Brazilians
talk
about
all
kinds
of
personal
issues,"
says
Mark
Quinlan,
who
grew
up
in
Brazil.
But
of
course,
even
Brazil
has
its
own
taboos.
In
Brazil,
soccer
is
the
one
topic
that
can
turn
friends
into
enemies.
Brazilians
love
the
sport.
Saying
anything???(32)???about
soccer
can
cause
big
trouble.
Even
expressing
preference
for
one
team
over
another
can
be???(33)??.
????Like
Brazilians,
Australians
talk
freely
about
almost
anything.
However,
they
do
not
talk
about
their
personal
or
business???(34)??.
They
prefer
to
let
people
judge
them
by
their
actions,
not
their
words.
Boasting
(夸大)
your
achievements
will
only
make
you
the???(35)???of
other
people's
jokes.
????And
what
about
your
taboos?
The
next
time
you
have
a
conversation,
pay
attention
to
what
isn't
said.
You
might
be
amazed
at
what
you
learn
about
your
own
culture.

36.【答案】on/upon
【解析】本题考查固定短语。句意:答案很大程度上取决于文化价值观和个人经历。depend
on/upon是固定短语,意为“取决于,依赖”。故填on/upon.
37.【答案】working
【解析】本题考查非谓语动词。句意:研究发现,在绿色环境中工作的人胃痛较少。主语People与动词work之间为逻辑上的主动关系,因此用现在分词结构作后置定语。故填working.
38.【答案】fewer
【解析】本题考查形容词比较级。结合前句的意思,绿色被认为是最宁静的颜色。它有能力减少痛苦和放松人们的精神和身体。因此此处应表示“很少有胃痛”,few用来修饰可数名词,此处应用比较级fewer表示“较少的”。故填fewer.
39.【答案】】that/which
【解析】本题考查定语从句。句意:对埃及人来说,绿色是代表春天的希望和欢乐的颜色。分析句子结构可知,此处为定语从句,先行词为color,在从句中作主语,故用关系代词that或which引导从句。故填that/which.
40.【答案】while
【解析】本题考查连词。句意:而对穆斯林来说,它意味着天堂。结合语境,连词while表示对比关系,意为“而,然而”。故填while.
41.【答案】are
given
【解析】本题考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意:在中国,孩子们会收到装在红包里的钱,以在新的一年里带来好运。句子陈述客观事实,应用一般现在时态;主语children与动词give之间为被动关系,因此应用一般现在时的被动语态;主语children为复数,be动词应用are.故填are
given.
42.【答案】Similarly
【解析】本题考查副词。句意:同样,许多商业网站也会有一个红色的“立即购买”按钮,因为红色很容易吸引人的眼球。此处用副词作状语修饰整个句子;设空处位于句首,单词首字母需大写。故填Similarly.
43.【答案】hoping
【解析】本题考查非谓语动词。句意:希腊人经常戴着蓝色的项链,希望能保护自己免受邪恶的侵害。句中逻辑主语Greek
people与动词hope之间为主动关系,故用现在分词结构作状语。故填hoping.
44.【答案】Unlike
【解析】本题考查介词。句意:与红色不同,蓝色会让人失去食欲。结合语境可知,此处需用介词unlike,表示“与……不同”;设空处位于句首,单词首字母需大写。故填Unlike.
45.【答案】if
【解析】本题考查状语从句。句意:所以如果你想少吃点,一些人建议用蓝色盘子吃东西会有帮助。根据句意可知,此处表示假设关系,所以本句为if引导的条件状语从句。故填if.

第二节
(满分25分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。续写的词数应为150左右。
A
monk(和尚)
used
to
live
in
a
hut
at
a
side
of
a
village.
He
read
books
all
day
long,
without
worrying
for
food
or
money.
He
was
a
very
kind
and
tender-hearted
person.
All
the
villagers
greatly
admired
his
noble
character.
That
is
why
everyone
offered
him
food
and
wanted
to
help
him.
????
Once,
it
was
a
cold
winter.
The
monk
had
a
fire
burning
in
his
hut
for
warmth.
Suddenly,
there
was
a
knock
at
his
door.
The
monk
wondered
who
it
could
be
out
at
such
a
cold
night,
He
opened
the
door
and
found
a
fox
out
there
shivering
in
cold.
She
spoke,
"I
live
on
the
hills
out
there.
Heavy
snow
is
falling
there,
making
my
life
difficult.
Please
kindly
give
me
a
little
room
in
your
hut
for
the
night.
I
will
go
away
in
the
morning."
The
monk
politely
called
her
in
and
said,
"Don't
worry,
dear.
You
can
live
here
as
long
as
you
wish."
In
the
warmth
of
the
heated
hut
the
fox
felt
very
comfortable.
The
monk
gave
her
some
bread
and
milk.
The
fox
quickly
ate
it
and
slept
in
a
corner.
???
?In
the
morning,
the
fox
asked
for
the
permission
to
leave.
The
monk
told
her
to
come
whenever
she
liked.
The
fox
again
came
back
at
the
night.
The
monk
talked
with
her
about
the
day's
happenings
and
gave
her
some
food.
After
eating,
the
fox
went
to
sleep.
????
A
few
months
passed
and
the
season
changed.
One
day
the
fox
said,
"You
took
so
great
care
of
me
all
through
the
winter,
I
want
to
do
something
for
you
in
return."
The
monk
remarked,
"Dear
fox,
it
was
my
duty
to
do
something
for
you.
Please
don't
embarrass
me
by
talking
in
this
way."
The
fox
pleaded,
"I
am
not
trying
to
pay
back
your
kindness.
I
love
you
and
respect
you.
By
doing
something
for
you
I
will
feel
a
great
pride
in
me.
I
wish
to
be
of
some
use
to
you."

【答案】?
?
The
monk
thought
for
some
time
and
hesitatingly
said,
"I
don't
need
anything.
But
sometimes
I
wish
I
had
a
piece
of
gold.
As
you
know,
I
have
always
been
relying
on
the
villagers,
without
whom
I
would
be
starving
to
death.
Naturally,
it
has
long
been
my
desire
to
do
something
in
return
for
their
favor.
All
I
can
do
is
help
educate
their
children.
With
no
access
to
proper
facilities
and
books,
most
of
the
kids
in
the
village
stay
uneducated.
A
piece
of
gold
is
all
I
need
to
equip
them
with
adequate
knowledge
so
that
they
can
have
better
chances
of
a
bright
future."
Hearing
this,
the
fox
nodded
and
promised
she
would
see
to
it
that
the
monk
could
have
what
he
was
longing
for.
With
these
words,
the
fox
left
in
no
time.
?It
was
now
six
months
since
the
fox
had
gone.
The
more
time
went
by,
the
more
certain
the
monk
felt
that
she
wouldn't
come
back.
One
day,
however,
there
was
someone
knocking
at
the
door.
The
monk
opened
it
and
much
to
his
astonishment,
there
stood
the
fox
with
a
piece
of
gold
in
her
mouth.
She
looked
much
skinnier
than
he
last
saw
her.
Deeply
moved,
the
monk
hugged
the
fox
tightly
with
tears
in
his
eyes.
It
turned
out
that
the
fox
spent
the
last
half
of
a
year
trying
to
fulfill
her
promise
and
she
made
it.
