The scientists said that when the dogs saw their owners, they cried. The scientists from Azabu University put strips of paper (纸条) under the dogs’ eyes. Then they checked to see if and when the dogs cried. The scientists found that when the humans and dogs reunited after five to seven hours of separation (分开), the dog shed tears. Researcher Takefumi said, “We had never heard of the discovery (发现) that animals shed tears in joyful situations (情况), such as reuniting with their owners.” He added, “Their tears might play a role in deepening each other’s relationships.” He believes the tears may make humans love their dogs more.

Here are some things you should not give as a Chinese New Year gift. Pears Giving fruit is a good choice, but pears are not good. This is because the Chinese word for “pears” sounds the word for “leaving” or “parting”. It is a symbol of saying goodbye. Wallet In traditional Chinese culture, giving a wallet as a gift means give away all your money and you might lose your finances and luck. However, it’s no problem to give a wallet to your family member. Hats When an old person dies, his or her children wear a mourning hat called a Xiaomao. So a hat is not good to give as gift for Chinese New Year. In Handan, Hebei Province, on Chinese New Year’s eve, people throw old hats in the hope of throwing away bad luck and trouble. Shoes Shoes are a bad idea as a present for Chinese New Year because the Chinese word for “shoes” sounds like exactly like a word for bad luck. Also, clocks, mirrors, umbrellas, sharp objectives, and white flowers are also bad gifs for Chinese New Year. 8. Why can’t you give a wallet as a gift during the Spring Festival in China? A. Because it’s a symbol of saying goodbye. B. Because it’s thought to cut off the relationship with him/her. C. Because it means that you may give away all your money and luck. 9.

A friend in need is a friend in indeed. C. No man can do two things at once. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了庆祝新年不应该作为春节礼物赠送的东西。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据“giving a wallet as a gift means give away all your money and you might lose your finances and luck”可知，送钱包作为礼物意味着送掉你所有的钱和运气。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Giving fruit is a good choice”可知，送苹果这样的水果是个好选择，而不是送鞋或白花。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中提到的不好的礼物有9种：梨、钱包、帽子、鞋、钟、镜子、伞、尖锐物和白花。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文化差异导致外国人容易送错礼物，可以推断出要入乡随俗，故选A。 第二节 阅读匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 阅读下面的短文，从所给的A～F六个选项中，选出正确的答案填空，使短文通顺，内容完整，并在答题卡上将该编号字母涂黑，其中选项中有一项是多余的。 Would you like to improve yourself?

One child answered, “You can go around the sand pile.” Zilu became unhappy. Confucius said, “They are just children. Don’t be angry with them.” Then Confucius asked the children with a smile, “Why don’t you move the sand pile away?” The children answered, “We are building a castle (城堡). Only people and wagons (马车) can go around a castle. A castle can’t move itself for people and wagons.” Confucius then saw a farmer working in the field. “How many times do you wave (挥) your hoe (锄头) every day?” Confucius asked. “I don’t know,” said the farmer, “The number that your whole steps each day is the number that I wave my hoe each day.” Confucius was surprised, “You said you didn’t know.

She was afraid that she couldn’t work it out. “May, would you solve for ‘x’ in this equation (方程)?” Mary put on a smile and picked up a piece of chalk (粉笔). “Oh, I wish I could fall into a hole right now,” thought Mary. She had a look at the math book on the desk beside her. To her surprise, Mary saw the answers to the questions in the teacher’s book. Shocked and surprised, Mary rubbed (揉擦) her eyes, because her vision (视力) didn’t seem a bit clear. She looked back at the book for the second time. This time she could see them clearly, but she became hesitant: should I use the good luck? She closed her eyes, then she decided to solve the problem by herself (她自己). “Good job!” Mr. Smith says, “You are right.” Mary quickly walked back to her seat, she was happy and seemed more confident (自信的).

The relationship between dogs and humans is always close for thousands of years. There is a saying in English that says dogs are human’s best friends. Scientists believe it may be deeper than we thought. The scientists studied 22 dogs. They tested the behavior (行为) of dogs. In particular, they looked at how the dogs reacted when they reunited (重聚) with their owners and with other people they had meet every day. The scientists said that when the dogs saw their owners, they cried. The scientists from Azabu University put strips of paper (纸条) under the dogs’ eyes. Then they checked to see if and when the dogs cried. The scientists found that when the humans and dogs reunited after five to seven hours of separation (分开), the dog shed tears. Researcher Takefumi said, “We had never heard of the discovery (发现) that animals shed tears in joyful situations (情况), such as reuniting with their owners.” He added, “Their tears might play a role in deepening each other’s relationships.” He believes the tears may make humans love their dogs more. He said, “It’s possible that dog who show teary eyes during interaction (交流) with humans would be cared for more.” 5. The writer starts the passage by ________.

Sports and health (D) It can be easy for foreign (外国的) friends to give wrong gifts for Chinese New Year because of different culture. Here are some things you should not give as a Chinese New Year gift. Pears Giving fruit is a good choice, but pears are not good. This is because the Chinese word for “pears” sounds the word for “leaving” or “parting”. It is a symbol of saying goodbye. Wallet In traditional Chinese culture, giving a wallet as a gift means give away all your money and you might lose your finances and luck. However, it’s no problem to give a wallet to your family member. Hats When an old person dies, his or her children wear a mourning hat called a Xiaomao. So a hat is not good to give as gift for Chinese New Year. In Handan, Hebei Province, on Chinese New Year’s eve, people throw old hats in the hope of throwing away bad luck and trouble. Shoes Shoes are a bad idea as a present for Chinese New Year because the Chinese word for “shoes” sounds like exactly like a word for bad luck. Also, clocks, mirrors, umbrellas, sharp objectives, and white flowers are also bad gifs for Chinese New Year. 8. Why can’t you give a wallet as a gift during the Spring Festival in China? A. Because it’s a symbol of saying goodbye. B. Because it’s thought to cut off the relationship with him/her. C. Because it means that you may give away all your money and luck. 9. According to the passage, which gift may make the Chinese happy for Chinese New Year? A. A pair of red shoes. B. Some apples. C. White flowers. 10. How many bad gifts for Chinese New Year are mentioned in the passage? A. 4 B. 8 C. 9 11. What can we infer from the passage? A. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. B. A friend in need is a friend in indeed. C.

Why do you give such a wise answer now?” “To be honest, my seven-year-old son told me to answer like that.” answered the farmer. Confucius asked in surprise, “What’s your son’s name?” The farmer introduced his son Xiang Tuo to Confucius. Confucius asked Xiang Tuo more questions.
