Chinese people behave politely on any formal occasion, whether it is a wedding ceremony, a celebration party, or a banquet (宴席). The following basic Chinese table manners will help you generally master Chinese dinner manners. One clear difference between Western and Eastern dining habits is portion (一份) size. While meals in Western restaurants are sized for individuals (个人), dishes offered in Chinese restaurants are meant to be shared. As such, food either comes in bite-sized pieces, or is prepared in a way that makes it easy to portion (分配) while being served to you on large plates. As meals are shared, one may care about the degree of sanitation (卫生). It’s common to find communal chopsticks (公筷) placed with each dish. It is good manners to use the communal utensils in a public setting. You may also notice that tables, especially those in larger dining rooms, are round and have a lazy Susan (more commonly known as “that rotating (旋转的) table on top of your table”). Besides efficiency (效率) purposes, circular tables stand for important meaning in Chinese culture. It means unity (团结) and presents dining as an event where family members get together. Before you spin the turntable to get to that delicious piece of duck, make sure that no one else is reaching for food! It’s impolite to spin the table just as someone is trying to pick up some food. As mentioned above, Chinese restaurants often use round tables. In Western cultures, the host or the eldest family member often sits at the head of a long table. But what happens when the table is round? As a round table, the seat of honor (首位) is the one facing the door. The closer you are sitting next to that seat, the more important you are. In a setting where there is no doorway—outdoor dining, for example—the seat of honor would be the one facing east. In a banquet environment, the table of honor is usually the one sitting farthest away from the door. The time at which the dining begins depends on the presence of party members. The suitable time to dig in is after the guest of honor, or the eldest member of the group, is seated and has begun their meal. Sometimes they will mean the start of a meal, by saying “吃吧” which means “Please eat”. ( )26．What should we do if we have meals in a public setting? A．Bring your own chopsticks from home. B．Use communal chopsticks to get food. C．Use your own chopsticks to share food. D．Share the food with others’ chopsticks. ( )27．What does the underlined word “spin” in the passage mean? A．turn something around B．pull something nearer C．pick something up D．move something away ( )28．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．Why the table is round? B．How can you find a seat? C．Which is the honor seat? D．Who is the most important? ( )29．How does the writer organize the article? A．In time order. B．From specific to general. C．In space order. D．From general to specific. C Not far from the place where I live is a beautiful lake. It’s in the middle of the mountains and the water is very cold. People don’t go there very often. It’s only on hot summer days that brave people go to for a quick swim there. But it’s not only because of the temperature of the water that people don’t go, but also because they believe that it’s dangerous to swim there. The story goes that one day, in the middle of the last century, some fishermen were out on the lake in their boat. When they pulled up their net, they saw they had caught something strange with a human face, long green hair and a tail like a fish. They were totally scared, and tried to kill it. But just then, a heavy thunderstorm began. The men were never seen again, but their boat was found a few days later. To be honest, I don’t believe a single word of the story. But recently a local newspaper published an interview with some people who said that they had seen it while they were walking around the lake. ( )30．Why do only brave people go for a quick swim in the lake? A．Because the water is very cold. B．Because people believe that it’s dangerous to swim there. C．Because it’s in the middle of the mountains. D．Because the water is very cold and people believe that it’s dangerous to swim there. ( )31．When did the story happen according to the passage? A．Recently. B．A few days later. C．In the middle of the last century. D．On hot summer days. ( )32．What does the writer think of the story? A．False. B．Interesting. C．Funny. D．True. D Trash (垃圾) for Toilet Use In recent years, tourism has developed rapidly in West China. This has led to a huge increase in trash. Most of it has been left behind by tourists. In 2021, photos of plastic waste along the Qinghai-Tibet Highway (青藏公路) were shared online. This made local people worried about the local environment. Local governments (当地政府) and nonprofits (非营利组织) have tried many different ways to deal with this problem. One project uses a new idea：trash for toilet use. The project sets up special restrooms in scenic areas. There’s one such restroom on Mount Zheduo (折多山).To use it, visitors must throw an empty plastic bottle into an intelligent box. The box will then give them a “green coin.” They can use the green coin to unlock the door of the restroom. The project began last November. “Tens of thousands of visitors have taken part in it,” the nonprofit Green River said in a post on Weibo. “Millions of pieces of trash have been collected.” For some visitors, however, the project is confusing. One of them shared his experience on social media. “It’s a good idea,” he said. “But it’s impossible for visitors to always have an empty bottle on hand.” What do you think of this project? ( )33．What can we know about West China from Paragraph 1? A．Fewer and fewer tourists liked to travel there in recent years. B．Tourism in West China has led to a huge increase in trash. C．We only saw a photo of the Qinghai-Tibet Highway online. D．Local people were not worried about the local environment. ( )34．What is “trash for toilet use”? A．One project. B．One restroom. C．One visitor. D．One coin. ( )35．Who has tried many different ways to deal with this problem? A．Mount Zheduo. B．Local governments and nonprofits. C．An intelligent boxer. D．The people who were on business. ( )36．What can we infer from the third paragraph? A．The nonprofit Green River has many bottles. B．Millions of pieces of trash haven’t been collected. C．Not all visitors think “trash for toilet use” is a good idea. D．One of local people shared his experience on social media. 四、还原信息（共4小题；每小题1.5分，满分6分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的六个选项中选出四个可以填人空白处的最佳选项。 The ground looks like a white blanket after snowing for a whole night. It is time to have snowball fights and build a snowman outside. Kids can’t help enjoying the white world of winter. 37 Small crystals of ice (冰晶) that fall to the Earth are called snow. 38 There must be some water in the air to form snow. Places like Russia, Canada and the USA have heavy snow in winter. 39 These places include Singapore, India and many other countries around the equator (赤道). Other than snowstorms, snowfall is good for people. It helps clean up the air by carrying dust to the ground. Snowfall is also important to farmers. As the Chinese saying goes, “A fall of seasonable snow gives promise (希望) of a fruitful year.” 40 Melting (融化的) snow waters crops. It also lowers the temperature of the ground to kill bad insects in the soil, so snow helps bring a good harvest next year. A．However, in some places people never see snow. B．With snow, winter becomes a really fun time of the year. C．Snowstorm is a terrible disaster and may cause traffic accidents. D．This kind of snow is useful for fun activities like making a snowman. E．It is formed (形成) when the temperature of the air is at or lower than 0℃. F．Snowfall can keep the ground from getting too cold and protect crops from freezing (结冰). 五、综合填空（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Today, I’m going to share a story with you.

Chinese people behave politely on any formal occasion, whether it is a wedding ceremony, a celebration party, or a banquet (宴席). The following basic Chinese table manners will help you generally master Chinese dinner manners. One clear difference between Western and Eastern dining habits is portion (一份) size. While meals in Western restaurants are sized for individuals (个人), dishes offered in Chinese restaurants are meant to be shared. As such, food either comes in bite-sized pieces, or is prepared in a way that makes it easy to portion (分配) while being served to you on large plates. As meals are shared, one may care about the degree of sanitation (卫生). It’s common to find communal chopsticks (公筷) placed with each dish. It is good manners to use the communal utensils in a public setting. You may also notice that tables, especially those in larger dining rooms, are round and have a lazy Susan (more commonly known as “that rotating (旋转的) table on top of your table”). Besides efficiency (效率) purposes, circular tables stand for important meaning in Chinese culture. It means unity (团结) and presents dining as an event where family members get together. Before you spin the turntable to get to that delicious piece of duck, make sure that no one else is reaching for food! It’s impolite to spin the table just as someone is trying to pick up some food. As mentioned above, Chinese restaurants often use round tables. In Western cultures, the host or the eldest family member often sits at the head of a long table. But what happens when the table is round? As a round table, the seat of honor (首位) is the one facing the door. The closer you are sitting next to that seat, the more important you are. In a setting where there is no doorway—outdoor dining, for example—the seat of honor would be the one facing east. In a banquet environment, the table of honor is usually the one sitting farthest away from the door. The time at which the dining begins depends on the presence of party members. The suitable time to dig in is after the guest of honor, or the eldest member of the group, is seated and has begun their meal. Sometimes they will mean the start of a meal, by saying “吃吧” which means “Please eat”. ( )26．What should we do if we have meals in a public setting? A．Bring your own chopsticks from home. B．Use communal chopsticks to get food. C．Use your own chopsticks to share food. D．Share the food with others’ chopsticks. ( )27．What does the underlined word “spin” in the passage mean? A．turn something around B．pull something nearer C．pick something up D．move something away ( )28．What is the main idea of Paragraph 4? A．Why the table is round? B．How can you find a seat? C．Which is the honor seat? D．Who is the most important? ( )29．How does the writer organize the article? A．In time order. B．From specific to general. C．In space order. D．From general to specific. 【答案】26．B 27．A 28．A 29．D 【解析】本文主要介绍了中国的餐桌礼仪。 26．细节理解题。根据第3段“As meals are shared, one may care about the degree of sanitation (卫生). It’s common to find communal chopsticks (公筷) placed with each dish. It is good manners to use the communal utensils in a public setting.”可知，如果我们在公共场所用餐，我们该用公用筷子取食物，故选B。 27．词义猜测题。根据带下划线的单词所在句子“It’s impolite to spin the table just as someone is trying to pick up some food.”可知，文章中带下划线的单词“spin”意思是“转动某物”，故选A。 28．主旨大意题。根据“Besides efficiency (效率) purposes, circular tables stand for important meaning in Chinese culture. It means unity (团结) and presents dining as an event where family members get together.”可知，第4段的主要思想是“为什么桌子是圆的”，故选A。 29．推理判断题。通读全文可知，这篇短文主要介绍了中国的餐桌礼仪。中国人在正式场合下举止得体，无论是婚礼、庆祝派对还是宴会。中国餐桌礼仪的基本规则包括共享餐食、使用公共餐具、注意卫生和尊重座位次序。作者是从一般到具体组织文章的，故选D。 C Not far from the place where I live is a beautiful lake. It’s in the middle of the mountains and the water is very cold. People don’t go there very often. It’s only on hot summer days that brave people go to for a quick swim there. But it’s not only because of the temperature of the water that people don’t go, but also because they believe that it’s dangerous to swim there. The story goes that one day, in the middle of the last century, some fishermen were out on the lake in their boat. When they pulled up their net, they saw they had caught something strange with a human face, long green hair and a tail like a fish. They were totally scared, and tried to kill it. But just then, a heavy thunderstorm began. The men were never seen again, but their boat was found a few days later. To be honest, I don’t believe a single word of the story. But recently a local newspaper published an interview with some people who said that they had seen it while they were walking around the lake. ( )30．Why do only brave people go for a quick swim in the lake? A．Because the water is very cold. B．Because people believe that it’s dangerous to swim there.

This has led to a huge increase in trash. Most of it has been left behind by tourists. In 2021, photos of plastic waste along the Qinghai-Tibet Highway (青藏公路) were shared online. This made local people worried about the local environment. Local governments (当地政府) and nonprofits (非营利组织) have tried many different ways to deal with this problem. One project uses a new idea：trash for toilet use. The project sets up special restrooms in scenic areas. There’s one such restroom on Mount Zheduo (折多山).To use it, visitors must throw an empty plastic bottle into an intelligent box. The box will then give them a “green coin.” They can use the green coin to unlock the door of the restroom. The project began last November. “Tens of thousands of visitors have taken part in it,” the nonprofit Green River said in a post on Weibo. “Millions of pieces of trash have been collected.” For some visitors, however, the project is confusing. One of them shared his experience on social media. “It’s a good idea,” he said. “But it’s impossible for visitors to always have an empty bottle on hand.” What do you think of this project? ( )33．What can we know about West China from Paragraph 1? A．Fewer and fewer tourists liked to travel there in recent years. B．Tourism in West China has led to a huge increase in trash.

C．Not all visitors think “trash for toilet use” is a good idea. D．One of local people shared his experience on social media. 【答案】33．B 34．A 35．B 36．C 【解析】本文介绍了中国西北地区旅游业的发展带来的垃圾问题，并介绍了一种将垃圾变废为宝的特殊想法——将垃圾用于公共厕所。 33．细节理解题。根据“In recent years, tourism has developed rapidly in West China.

Places like Russia, Canada and the USA have heavy snow in winter. 39 These places include Singapore, India and many other countries around the equator (赤道). Other than snowstorms, snowfall is good for people. It helps clean up the air by carrying dust to the ground. Snowfall is also important to farmers. As the Chinese saying goes, “A fall of seasonable snow gives promise (希望) of a fruitful year.” 40 Melting (融化的) snow waters crops. It also lowers the temperature of the ground to kill bad insects in the soil, so snow helps bring a good harvest next year. A．However, in some places people never see snow.

Chinese people behave politely on any formal occasion, whether it is a wedding ceremony, a celebration party, or a banquet (宴席). The following basic Chinese table manners will help you generally master Chinese dinner manners. One clear difference between Western and Eastern dining habits is portion (一份) size. While meals in Western restaurants are sized for individuals (个人), dishes offered in Chinese restaurants are meant to be shared. As such, food either comes in bite-sized pieces, or is prepared in a way that makes it easy to portion (分配) while being served to you on large plates. As meals are shared, one may care about the degree of sanitation (卫生). It’s common to find communal chopsticks (公筷) placed with each dish. It is good manners to use the communal utensils in a public setting. You may also notice that tables, especially those in larger dining rooms, are round and have a lazy Susan (more commonly known as “that rotating (旋转的) table on top of your table”). Besides efficiency (效率) purposes, circular tables stand for important meaning in Chinese culture. It means unity (团结) and presents dining as an event where family members get together. Before you spin the turntable to get to that delicious piece of duck, make sure that no one else is reaching for food! It’s impolite to spin the table just as someone is trying to pick up some food. As mentioned above, Chinese restaurants often use round tables. In Western cultures, the host or the eldest family member often sits at the head of a long table. But what happens when the table is round? As a round table, the seat of honor (首位) is the one facing the door. The closer you are sitting next to that seat, the more important you are. In a setting where there is no doorway—outdoor dining, for example—the seat of honor would be the one facing east. In a banquet environment, the table of honor is usually the one sitting farthest away from the door. The time at which the dining begins depends on the presence of party members. The suitable time to dig in is after the guest of honor, or the eldest member of the group, is seated and has begun their meal. Sometimes they will mean the start of a meal, by saying “吃吧” which means “Please eat”. ( )26．What should we do if we have meals in a public setting? A．Bring your own chopsticks from home. B．Use communal chopsticks to get food. C．Use your own chopsticks to share food. D．Share the food with others’ chopsticks. ( )27．What does the underlined word “spin” in the passage mean?

C．Which is the honor seat? D．Who is the most important? ( )29．How does the writer organize the article? A．In time order. B．From specific to general. C．In space order. D．From general to specific. C Not far from the place where I live is a beautiful lake. It’s in the middle of the mountains and the water is very cold. People don’t go there very often. It’s only on hot summer days that brave people go to for a quick swim there. But it’s not only because of the temperature of the water that people don’t go, but also because they believe that it’s dangerous to swim there. The story goes that one day, in the middle of the last century, some fishermen were out on the lake in their boat.

Local governments (当地政府) and nonprofits (非营利组织) have tried many different ways to deal with this problem. One project uses a new idea：trash for toilet use. The project sets up special restrooms in scenic areas. There’s one such restroom on Mount Zheduo (折多山).To use it, visitors must throw an empty plastic bottle into an intelligent box.

One of them shared his experience on social media. “It’s a good idea,” he said. “But it’s impossible for visitors to always have an empty bottle on hand.” What do you think of this project?

It is time to have snowball fights and build a snowman outside. Kids can’t help enjoying the white world of winter. 37 Small crystals of ice (冰晶) that fall to the Earth are called snow. 38 There must be some water in the air to form snow. Places like Russia, Canada and the USA have heavy snow in winter. 39 These places include Singapore, India and many other countries around the equator (赤道).

As the Chinese saying goes, “A fall of seasonable snow gives promise (希望) of a fruitful year.” 40 Melting (融化的) snow waters crops.
