Liang Xiyan still missed her long black hair, which was cut two weeks ago.
Liang became a senior high school student in September. In her new school, the rules say that boys’ hairstyles must be cropped (剪短) and girls’ hair cannot fall below their shoulders.
Liang’s school is not alone: many have similar rules on hairstyles. Teachers think a cool hairstyle is a waste of time and money. It may also distract students from their studies. “Your personality (个性) is not shown in how you wear your hair but in your ability,” say teachers.
It’s difficult for students to follow these rules. Teenage students like to look nice but they are asked to wear school uniforms. Liang says the only way in which they can be different lies in how they wear their hair. And they want to copy their favorite stars’ hairstyles. They wouldn’t be happy in a school with strict rules.
“I prefer a school with rules-on hairstyles,” said Li Man, a Senior student. She said her school’s rules on hairstyles are OK but there could be some little changes. “For example, boys should be allowed to have their hair a little longer,” Li said. “But students must not dye or curl their hair (染发或烫发). This way there will not be so many complaints.”
5. Which of the following hairstyles is not allowed in Liang’s school?
A. A boy with long and yellow hair. B. A boy with short and black hair.
C. A girl’s hair is above her shoulders. D. A girl’s hair is black and short.
6. Paragraph 3 mainly tells us ________.
A. what rules schools have B. what students think of the rules
C. why schools have the rules D. how many schools have similar rules
7. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “distract” in Chinese?
A. 引领 B. 使分心 C. 保护 D. 使远离
8. We can learn that students ________ in Liang’s school.
A. can show their personalities by hairstyles B. must not have a cool hairstyle
C. should wear the same shoes to school D. can show they are different by wearing their favorite clothes
【答案】5. A 6. C 7. B 8. B
【解析】

Your handshake is a part of your first impression (印象). Do you want your handshake to say good things about you? Here are some ways to help you learn how to shake hands correctly.
Know who to start. The person in a higher position or who is older should be the first one to reach out a hand. For example, if you are interviewed for a job, the interviewer should be the one to take the lead.
Avoid offering an unannounced (未打招呼的) handshake. If you offer someone your hand when they aren’t paying attention, they may not shake hands with you. It doesn’t mean the person doesn’t want to shake your hand. So start with a greeting to let others know that you’re here.
The handshake often lasts about 2 to 5 seconds (秒). Most people don’t spend more time shaking hands. If the other person holds your hand for more than five seconds, politely withdraw (撤回) your hand.
Don’t show a sweaty (出汗的) hand. If you hand someone a sweaty hand, you may make them uncomfortable. Before shaking their hand, dry your own hand. If you’re holding a drink, hold it in your left hand so that it won’t make your right hand wet or sweaty because we often use our right hand to shake hands with others.
Shake hands in an up-and-down direction. Don’t go back and forward or side to side. Don’t swing the other person’s hand more than three times. It may make the other person uncomfortable.
9. In which part of a magazine may we find the text?
A. Nature. B. Geography. C. Culture. D. Travel.
10. What should you do before shaking hands with others?
A. Tell them how to shake hands. B. Greet them politely to get their attention.
C. Ask them to wash their hands first. D. Hit them on the back.
11. Why do you hold your drink in your left hand before shaking hands?
A. Because we often use our right hands to shake hands with others.
B. Because I like to hold things in my left hand.
C. Because my left hand is strong enough to hold things.
D. Because my left hand is often sweaty.
12. The best structure of the passage is ________?
A. B. C. D.
【答案】9. C 10. B 11. A 12. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了如何正确地握手。
【9题详解】

【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“If you’re holding a drink, hold it in your left hand so that it won’t make your right hand wet or sweaty because we often use our right hand to shake hands with others.”可知,因为我们经常用右手与别人握手,所以要用左手拿着饮料,这样右手才不会弄湿或出汗。故选A。

Liang Xiyan still missed her long black hair, which was cut two weeks ago.
Liang became a senior high school student in September. In her new school, the rules say that boys’ hairstyles must be cropped (剪短) and girls’ hair cannot fall below their shoulders.
Liang’s school is not alone: many have similar rules on hairstyles. Teachers think a cool hairstyle is a waste of time and money. It may also distract students from their studies. “Your personality (个性) is not shown in how you wear your hair but in your ability,” say teachers.
It’s difficult for students to follow these rules. Teenage students like to look nice but they are asked to wear school uniforms. Liang says the only way in which they can be different lies in how they wear their hair. And they want to copy their favorite stars’ hairstyles. They wouldn’t be happy in a school with strict rules.
“I prefer a school with rules-on hairstyles,” said Li Man, a Senior student. She said her school’s rules on hairstyles are OK but there could be some little changes. “For example, boys should be allowed to have their hair a little longer,” Li said. “But students must not dye or curl their hair (染发或烫发). This way there will not be so many complaints.”
5. Which of the following hairstyles is not allowed in Liang’s school?
A. A boy with long and yellow hair. B. A boy with short and black hair.
C. A girl’s hair is above her shoulders. D. A girl’s hair is black and short.
6. Paragraph 3 mainly tells us ________.
A. what rules schools have B. what students think of the rules
C. why schools have the rules D. how many schools have similar rules
7. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “distract” in Chinese?
A. 引领 B. 使分心 C. 保护 D. 使远离
8. We can learn that students ________ in Liang’s school.
A. can show their personalities by hairstyles B. must not have a cool hairstyle
C. should wear the same shoes to school D. can show they are different by wearing their favorite clothes
C
Your handshake is a part of your first impression (印象). Do you want your handshake to say good things about you? Here are some ways to help you learn how to shake hands correctly.
Know who to start. The person in a higher position or who is older should be the first one to reach out a hand. For example, if you are interviewed for a job, the interviewer should be the one to take the lead.
Avoid offering an unannounced (未打招呼的) handshake. If you offer someone your hand when they aren’t paying attention, they may not shake hands with you. It doesn’t mean the person doesn’t want to shake your hand. So start with a greeting to let others know that you’re here.
The handshake often lasts about 2 to 5 seconds (秒). Most people don’t spend more time shaking hands. If the other person holds your hand for more than five seconds, politely withdraw (撤回) your hand.
Don’t show a sweaty (出汗的) hand. If you hand someone a sweaty hand, you may make them uncomfortable. Before shaking their hand, dry your own hand. If you’re holding a drink, hold it in your left hand so that it won’t make your right hand wet or sweaty because we often use our right hand to shake hands with others.
Shake hands in an up-and-down direction. Don’t go back and forward or side to side. Don’t swing the other person’s hand more than three times. It may make the other person uncomfortable.
9. In which part of a magazine may we find the text?
A. Nature. B. Geography. C. Culture. D. Travel.
10. What should you do before shaking hands with others?
A. Tell them how to shake hands. B. Greet them politely to get their attention.
C. Ask them to wash their hands first. D. Hit them on the back.
11. Why do you hold your drink in your left hand before shaking hands?
A. Because we often use our right hands to shake hands with others.
B Because I like to hold things in my left hand.
C. Because my left hand is strong enough to hold things.
D. Because my left hand is often sweaty.
12. The best structure of the passage is ________?
A. B. C. D.
D
One day both brothers were fighting so much as if they were ready to kill each other any minute. When Lao Li saw them like this, he laughed very loudly.
Seeing their father laughing like this, both brothers forgot about the fight and asked their father why he laughed.

The sons were listening carefully. Just then the father said, “Tell me which seat we were sitting on when we came here. Would that seat be ours forever?”
Both sons said together, “How can the bus seat be ours forever?”
