My editorial team leader died recently after a short illness.He was 31.The news was so unexpected that it left us all shocked and upset.A female colleague burst into tears and cried sadly at her desk.Somehow, we got through the day's work.The next day was the funeral. Our big boss stepped forward to deliver a eulogy(悼词) and was soon in tears. She carried on, in Chinese of course, but at the end said in English: “There will be no more deadlines for you in heaven.” Next came a long-term colleague who also dissolved in tears but carried on with her speech despite being almost overcome by emotion.Then a close friend of the dead man paid tribute, weeping openly as he spoke. Sorrow is spreading.Men and women were now sobbing uncontrollably.Finally, the man's mother, supported between two women, addressed her son in his coffin.She almost collapsed and had to be held up.We were invited to step forward to each lay a white rose on the casket.Our dead colleague looked as if he was taking a nap.At the end of the service I walked away from the funeral stunned at the outpouring of emotion. In the UK, families grieve privately and then try to hold it together and not break down at a funeral.Here in China it would seem that grieving is a public affair.It strikes me that it is more releasing to cry your eyes out than try to keep it bottled up for fear of embarrassment, which is what many of us do in the West. Afterwards, a Chinese colleague told me that the lamenting(哀悼) at the funeral had been restrained(克制) by Chinese standards.In some rural areas, she said, people used to be paid to mourn noisily.This struck me like something out of novel by Charles Dickens.But we have all seen on TV scenes of grief-stricken people in Gaza and the West Bank, in Afghanistan, Iraq and the relatives of victims of terrorist bombings around the world.Chinese grief is no different.I realized that it's the reserved British way of mourning that is out of step with the rest of the world. 语篇导读　主题语境：人与社会/不同民族文化习俗。本文为记叙文，讲述了作者亲身经历的一场中国葬礼，对比了中英两国在表达哀悼情感上的文化差异，展现了个人的观察、感受与思考。 4．What do the underlined words “stiff upper lip style” mean? A．Cold-blooded.　　　 B．Light-hearted. C．Self-controlled. D．Warm-hearted. 答案　C 解析　词句猜测题。根据第一段下文可推知，作者在英国长大，在情感上是拘谨的，是克制的，故画线词与self-controlled(能控制情感的，自我控制的)意思相近，故选C项。 5．What happened at the funeral?

D．The boss's speech was best thought of. 答案　B 解析　细节理解题。根据第三段末句可知，作者对葬礼上的场景感到震惊，故选B项。 6．What can be implied from the passage? A．The English might cry noisily for the dead in Dickens' time.

D．English funeral culture is more civilized than the others. 答案　A 解析　推理判断题。根据最后一段前三句可知，狄更斯的小说中有描写到这种哀悼的场面，故可推知在狄更斯的时代，英国人可能会为逝去的人痛哭，故选A项。 7．What is the passage mainly about? A．An editor's death.

Generations of stone carvers in Chimalhuacan also created much of the stonework found on buildings and in parks in the capital's downtown. While carvers in other areas long ago turned to machines, the workers here only use hammers and other special hand tools.Many are self-taught, but some, like Tomás Ugarte, aged 86, learned in the traditional way.This method of rock cutting has been passed down between family members, dating back about five generations. The rock cutters are generally old.There were about 600 official stone carvers about 10 years ago.Now, there are probably only around 300.The carvers are dying and their children generally do not want to take up the trade. Still, the stone carvers keep the old traditions alive.Many people in the area use stone tools made by the stone carvers. Rev.Alberto Sandoval, who has known the stone workers since 1990, described them as “the backbone of the community”. Most of the carvers have work areas at home, which provides them with some money.They sell carvings for prices from $500 to $2,000.But they often do not sell much. Unlike many craftspeople who want to see their works shown in museums, the carvers here also work for free at repairing the stonework at the 250-year-old local church, Santa Maria de Guadalupe. Asked if the trade will continue, carver Mario Olivares read a poem written on the church wall: “Your art, your tradition, your culture and the nobility(高贵) of the people keep the spirit of this town alive.” 语篇导读　主题语境：人与社会/社会、历史与文化。本文为说明文，介绍了在墨西哥城东侧的奇玛尔华坎地区的石雕师，他们仍然在从事一项代代相传的技能。村子里到处都是一米高的宗教人物和其他美丽的石雕。 12．What is special about the stone carvers in Chimalhuacan?
