Do your parents hug you before you go to school? It’s quite common to greet friends or relatives with a hug in my country. Hugging is an important way to show our happiness, worries or missing. For example, we always hug our teammates after winning games; If one of our friends has a bad day, we will give him a warm hug; If we miss someone, a close hug is essential (必不可少的) when we meet again. Of course, people in different countries have different views on hugging. Since I arrived in China, I’ve noticed that Chinese people seem very coy about that. When it comes to hugs, most the them feel embarrassed and uncomfortable. My Chinese friends told me that hugging is considered to be intimate (亲密的) in their culture. It only happens between really close people. But people’s ideas towards hugging can change. I remember I’ve watched a TV show about a special party in Shanghai. A local artist held the party. He invited strangers and hoped that they could feel the warmth between people by hugging. Some Chinese people there clearly looked uneasy (不安的). However, after the party, they changed their minds. They thought hugging doesn’t have to be embarrassed and can actually be quite nice. So next time you see your mum or dad, give her or him a hug—see how it makes you feel. 36. How do friends in the writer’s country usually greet each other? A. By kissing. B. By hugging. C. By nodding. D. By shaking hands. 37. What does the writer do to show the importance of hugging? A. He lists numbers. B. He asks questions. C. He gives examples. D. He tells stories. 38. Which word is close to the underlined word “coy”? A. Shy. B. Brave. C. Lazy. D. Active. 39. Why did the artist hold the party? A. To celebrate his birthday. B. To show different cultures. C. To know about different ideas. D. To let people feel warmth by hugging. 40. How do some Chinese people feel about hugging after the party? A. Uneasy. B. Nice. C. Embarrassed. D. Unimportant. 【答案】36. B 37. C 38. A 39. D 40. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了拥抱在不同文化中的方式及人们的接受情况。 36题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It’s quite common to greet friends or relatives with a hug in my country.”可知，用拥抱问候朋友或亲戚是很常见的。故选B。 【37题详解】 细节理解题。根据“For example, we always hug our teammates after winning games”可知，通过举例来说明拥抱的重要性，故选C。 【38题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“When it comes to hugs, most the them feel embarrassed and uncomfortable.”可知，中国人对拥抱很害羞，故选A。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“A local artist held the party.

There is one thing that gets him excited. Just say the word “garbage” to him! Or I should say, he is very interested in dealing with (处理) the garbage problem. Last year, my father decided to do something about all the wasted food we were throwing away. Each family wastes a large amount of food yearly——nearly 0.25 ton. We usually throw away the unfinished rice, dishes, and more. However, there is something we can do with it. If we properly deal with food waste, it can be changed into a kind of rich, dark earth known as compost. This compost can be added to vegetable gardens to make the plants grow really well. To deal with food waste in my family, my father came up with a good idea: Instead of throwing away all our food waste, we put it into the compost bin (储物箱). Mother Nature will slowly turn it from garbage into earth. Three months later, we were surprised to find that it was full of rich compost material (材料)! Next time you eat outside, just order what you need. Similarly, just make what you need at home when cooking. This also helps to avoid wasting food. Do you have any other ideas? Think about it. 41.

D When was the last time you gave or received a hug? Do your parents hug you before you go to school? It’s quite common to greet friends or relatives with a hug in my country. Hugging is an important way to show our happiness, worries or missing. For example, we always hug our teammates after winning games; If one of our friends has a bad day, we will give him a warm hug; If we miss someone, a close hug is essential (必不可少的) when we meet again. Of course, people in different countries have different views on hugging. Since I arrived in China, I’ve noticed that Chinese people seem very coy about that. When it comes to hugs, most the them feel embarrassed and uncomfortable. My Chinese friends told me that hugging is considered to be intimate (亲密的) in their culture. It only happens between really close people. But people’s ideas towards hugging can change. I remember I’ve watched a TV show about a special party in Shanghai. A local artist held the party. He invited strangers and hoped that they could feel the warmth between people by hugging. Some Chinese people there clearly looked uneasy (不安的). However, after the party, they changed their minds. They thought hugging doesn’t have to be embarrassed and can actually be quite nice. So next time you see your mum or dad, give her or him a hug—see how it makes you feel. 36. How do friends in the writer’s country usually greet each other? A. By kissing. B. By hugging. C. By nodding. D. By shaking hands. 37 What does the writer do to show the importance of hugging? A. He lists numbers. B. He asks questions. C. He gives examples. D. He tells stories. 38. Which word is close to the underlined word “coy”? A. Shy. B. Brave. C. Lazy. D. Active. 39. Why did the artist hold the party? A. To celebrate his birthday. B. To show different cultures. C. To know about different ideas. D. To let people feel warmth by hugging. 40 How do some Chinese people feel about hugging after the party? A. Uneasy. B. Nice. C. Embarrassed. D. Unimportant. Ⅷ．阅读表达（共5小题；第71题1分，第72～74题每题2分，第75题3分，满分10分） 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。 My father is quiet most of the time. There is one thing that gets him excited. Just say the word “garbage” to him! Or I should say, he is very interested in dealing with (处理) the garbage problem. Last year, my father decided to do something about all the wasted food we were throwing away. Each family wastes a large amount of food yearly——nearly 0.25 ton. We usually throw away the unfinished rice, dishes, and more. However, there is something we can do with it. If we properly deal with food waste, it can be changed into a kind of rich, dark earth known as compost. This compost can be added to vegetable gardens to make the plants grow really well. To deal with food waste in my family, my father came up with a good idea: Instead of throwing away all our food waste, we put it into the compost bin (储物箱). Mother Nature will slowly turn it from garbage into earth. Three months later, we were surprised to find that it was full of rich compost material (材料)! Next time you eat outside, just order what you need. Similarly, just make what you need at home when cooking. This also helps to avoid wasting food. Do you have any other ideas? Think about it. 41.
