He has been in China for three months. During his time at school in China, Joe is his first Chinese friend he met. Last weekend, Joe invited Mike to his house for dinner. They noticed many differences in table manners. In China, it’s common for everyone to share dishes from the same plate. For example, at family dinners, using chopsticks to serve each other expresses warmth and closeness. However, in England, people usually have their own servings. It seems like each person has his or her own space. The eating tools are also different. In China, chopsticks are mainly used, but in England, knives and forks are common. Seeing Mike having trouble with his chopsticks, Joe patiently taught him how to use them. He also started offering Mike food—a practice not common in England. During the dinner, Mike rested his elbows (肘部) on the table while eating. But Joe told him it was not proper to do so in China. While in England, it might not be a strict rule and it’s often left out. Also, in China, it’s important not to eat too fast or too much at once. But in England, the way of eating can be different. Mike ate quite quickly, which made Joe notice the difference. When they enjoyed their meal, Joe noticed Mike’s confusion and explained Chinese table manners to him. In return, Mike shared the usual practices in England. Soon, Mike got used to it. Joe also tried his best to make Mike feel at home. Before leaving, Mike secretly put an English card with the words “Thank you for your hospitality” into Joe’s hand. The card also had a cute pair of chopsticks drawn in the corner. After the dinner, they realized that although there are differences in table manners, the most important thing is to understand each other’s customs and cultures better. Mike was very happy about this dinner. 31. What do people usually do when having a meal in England? A. Have their own servings. B. Share dishes from the same plate. C. Never rest their elbows on the table. D. Use chopsticks instead of knives and forks. 32. Why did Joe offer food to Mike during the meal? A. To make Mike relax. B. To help Mike eat more quickly. C. To follow Chinese polite traditions. D. To show respect for English customs. 33. What can be the best title for the passage? A. Mike’s Unhappy Dinner in China B. Mike’s Trouble with Chopsticks C. Learning Cultural Differences Through a Meal D. How to Act Properly when Eating in China 【答案】31. A 32. C 33. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章通过英国交换生迈克受邀到中国朋友乔家吃饭的经历，具体描述了他们发现的中英餐桌礼仪差异，包括共享餐盘与分餐、筷子与刀叉的使用、肘部摆放及进食速度等，并展现了他们通过互相理解和学习，最终实现愉快文化交流的过程。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, in England, people usually have their own servings.”可知，在英国，人们通常有自己的份餐。故选A。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“In China, chopsticks are mainly used, but in England, knives and forks are common. Seeing Mike having trouble with his chopsticks, Joe patiently taught him how to use them. He also started offering Mike food—a practice not common in England.”可知，文章第三段在描述乔主动给迈克夹菜后，明确指出“在英国是不常见的做法”，结合上下文，Joe是在向Mike展示并遵循中国的餐桌礼仪和待客之道，这是一种表达热情和亲近的中国传统。故选C。 【33题详解】 最佳标题题。通读全文可知，全文通过描述一顿饭，展现了迈克和乔在用餐工具、分享食物、餐桌举止等方面的文化差异，以及他们互相了解、学习和适应的过程。因此，C选项“通过一顿饭了解文化差异”最适合做文章的标题。故选C。 （B） Nature is amazing! Take a close look at the world of insects, and you’ll find many unbelievable things. Think about butterflies, for example. They have beautiful colourful wings and strong fantastic flying skills. In summer, you can see them flying freely over flower gardens and wild fields. But do you know how butterflies become flying insects? It’s one of the amazing wonders of nature. In the beginning, female butterflies lay a small and colourful egg on a leaf or stem of a plant. It’s hard to believe that the egg will become something completely different in a few days. It turns into a walking insect. This insect is called a caterpillar. It now has legs, eyes and a large body. A new life has begun. The caterpillar can eat, walk and see, but it is still not a butterfly. Soon, after growing big, the caterpillar makes a cover for itself. It covers itself in a protective blanket and goes to sleep. This stage is known as the “pupa (蛹)” stage. After a period of time, the blanket breaks and a wet, weak butterfly appears. It now has six legs, a mouth, eyes and wings. Shortly, the wings fill with blood, and the beautiful, colourful butterfly spreads its wings and flies away. After a few weeks, this adult butterfly lays her eggs, and the cycle begins all over again. This is just one example of the wonders of nature. Look into the woods and mountains and see what you can find next. 34. What does the underlined word “cover” mean in Paragraph 4? A. a thing that the caterpillar discovers to hide under B. a thing that the caterpillar makes to protect itself C. a thing that the caterpillar uses to hide its food D. a thing that the caterpillar finds to clean itself 35. What is the right order of the development of a butterfly? ① It becomes a pupa. ② It becomes a walking insect. ③ Female butterflies lay an egg. ④ It spreads wings and flies away. A. ①②③④ B. ①②④③ C. ③②①④ D. ③②④① 36. What does this passage mainly talk about? A. It’s great to enjoy the nature. B. The amazing process of a butterfly’s life cycle. C. The beautiful appearance and flying skills of adult butterflies. D. The different growth stages of an insect’s life. 37. What’s the structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. 【答案】34. B 35. C 36. B 37. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了蝴蝶从产卵、孵化成毛毛虫、结蛹到最终破蛹成蝶的完整生命循环，揭示了自然界生命转化的神奇。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Soon, after growing big, the caterpillar makes a cover for itself. It covers itself in a protective blanket and goes to sleep. This stage is known as the “pupa (蛹)” stage.”可知，毛毛虫在长大后会为自己制造一个“cover”，这个“cover”被描述为一条“保护性的毯子”，它用于包裹自己并进入“蛹”的阶段。因此，这个“cover”是毛毛虫为了在蛹期保护自己而制作的东西。故选B。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In the beginning, female butterflies lay a small and colourful egg on a leaf or stem of a plant.”可知，雌蝴蝶产卵，即③；第三段中“It turns into a walking insect.”可知，它变成一种会行走的昆虫，即②；第四段中“This stage is known as the ‘pupa (蛹)’ stage.”可知，它变成蛹，即①；第五段中“Shortly, the wings fill with blood, and the beautiful, colourful butterfly spreads its wings and flies away.”可知，蝴蝶破蛹而出，展翅飞翔，即④。故选C。 【36题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章开篇点明自然界的奇妙，并以蝴蝶为例。随后，文章绝大部分篇幅都在详细描述蝴蝶从卵、幼虫(毛毛虫)、蛹到成虫的完整生命循环过程。故选B。 【37题详解】 篇章结构题。通读全文可知，第一段：总起，提出自然界很奇妙，并引出蝴蝶这个例子； 第二至五段：分述，按照时间顺序，详细说明了蝴蝶生命周期的四个主要阶段；第六段：总结，再次点明这是自然奇观之一，并鼓励读者去探索。所以文章的结构为：总—分—总，如A图所示。故选A。 （C） I have just returned from a visit to my landlord, Mr. Heathcliff. I am delighted with the house I am renting from him, which suits me perfectly. Mr. Heathcliff is my only neighbor, and I think his character is like mine. He does not like people either. When I introduced myself, he said nothing, but frowned (皱眉), and did not encourage me to enter. After a while, however, he decided to invite me in. “Joseph!” he called. Joseph was an old servant (仆人). He looked crossly up at me as he took my horse. “Oh dear! A visitor!” he whispered to himself. Perhaps there were no other servants, I thought. And it seemed that Heathcliff hardly ever received guests. His house is called Wuthering Heights. The name means “a windswept house on a hill”, and it is a very good description. The trees around the house are bent by the north wind, which blows fiercely (猛烈地) every day of the year. Fortunately (幸运地), the house is strongly built, and is not damaged even by the worst winter storms. Mr. Heathcliff and I entered the huge main room. We sat down by the fire, in silence. “Joseph!” shouted Mr. Heathcliff. No answer came from the cellar (地下室), so he rushed down there, leaving me alone with several rather fierce-looking dogs. Suddenly, one of them jumped angrily up at me, and in a moment all the others were attacking me. “Help! Mr. Heathcliff! Help!” I shouted. My landlord was nowhere to be seen, but fortunately a woman, who might be the housekeeper, rushed into the room to calm the dogs. “What is the matter?” Mr. Heathcliff asked me rudely, as he finally entered the room, accompanied by his man-servant. “Your dogs, sir!” I replied. “You shouldn’t leave a stranger with them. They’re dangerous.” “Come, come, Mr. Lockwood. Have some wine. We don’t often have strangers here. I’m afraid neither I nor my dogs are used to receiving them.” I could not feel angry after this, and accepted the wine. We sat drinking and talking together for a while. I suggested visiting him tomorrow. He did not seem eager to see me again, but I shall go anyway. He seems a fascinating man. 38. What did Joseph mean when he said “Oh dear! A visitor!” in Paragraph 4? A. He was very surprised to have a visitor. B. He thought Mr. Lockwood was a new servant. C. He had waited for Mr. Lockwood for a long time. D. He was happy to make friends with Mr. Lockwood. 39. Why is the house called “Wuthering Heights”? A. The weather is windy all the year round near the house. B. It is protected well by the trees around it. C. The unique appearance of the house attracts many tourists. D. It is specially designed to stand against strong winds. 40. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. The servant. B. The house. C. The wind. D. The name. 41. What was the writer’s impression of Mr. Heathcliff? A. He was rich but foolish. B. He was rude but interesting. C. He was handsome but boring. D. He was strange but friendly. 【答案】38. A 39. A 40. D 41. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲了“我”拜访房东Heathcliff，经历了他的冷淡、家中狗的攻击等小插曲后，虽觉得他粗鲁却认为他很有吸引力，还决定次日再去拜访。 【38题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“And it seemed that Heathcliff hardly ever received guests.”可知，Heathcliff几乎从不招待客人，所以Joseph见到访客很惊讶。故选A。 【39题详解】 细节理解题。根据“The name means ‘a windswept house on a hill’, and it is a very good description. The trees around the house are bent by the north wind, which blows fiercely every day of the year.”可知，房子周围的北风常年猛烈吹拂，名字恰如其分地描述了这一情况，即房子附近全年多风。故选A。 【40题详解】 词句猜测题。根据“The name means ‘a windswept house on a hill’, and it is a very good description.”可知，“it”指代前文提到的“The name”，指这个名字是很好的描述。故选D。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Mr. Heathcliff asked me rudely”和“He seems a fascinating man.”可知，Heathcliff虽然粗鲁但很有吸引力（有趣）。故选B。 （D） Perfect Guide to Making a Summer Diary Imagine a summer full of adventures and discoveries.

During his time at school in China, Joe is his first Chinese friend he met. Last weekend, Joe invited Mike to his house for dinner. They noticed many differences in table manners. In China, it’s common for everyone to share dishes from the same plate. For example, at family dinners, using chopsticks to serve each other expresses warmth and closeness. However, in England, people usually have their own servings. It seems like each person has his or her own space. The eating tools are also different. In China, chopsticks are mainly used, but in England, knives and forks are common. Seeing Mike having trouble with his chopsticks, Joe patiently taught him how to use them. He also started offering Mike food—a practice not common in England. During the dinner, Mike rested his elbows (肘部) on the table while eating. But Joe told him it was not proper to do so in China. While in England, it might not be a strict rule and it’s often left out. Also, in China, it’s important not to eat too fast or too much at once. But in England, the way of eating can be different. Mike ate quite quickly, which made Joe notice the difference. When they enjoyed their meal, Joe noticed Mike’s confusion and explained Chinese table manners to him. In return, Mike shared the usual practices in England. Soon, Mike got used to it. Joe also tried his best to make Mike feel at home. Before leaving, Mike secretly put an English card with the words “Thank you for your hospitality” into Joe’s hand. The card also had a cute pair of chopsticks drawn in the corner. After the dinner, they realized that although there are differences in table manners, the most important thing is to understand each other’s customs and cultures better. Mike was very happy about this dinner. 31. What do people usually do when having a meal in England? A. Have their own servings. B. Share dishes from the same plate. C.

Think about butterflies, for example. They have beautiful colourful wings and strong fantastic flying skills. In summer, you can see them flying freely over flower gardens and wild fields. But do you know how butterflies become flying insects? It’s one of the amazing wonders of nature. In the beginning, female butterflies lay a small and colourful egg on a leaf or stem of a plant. It’s hard to believe that the egg will become something completely different in a few days. It turns into a walking insect. This insect is called a caterpillar. It now has legs, eyes and a large body. A new life has begun. The caterpillar can eat, walk and see, but it is still not a butterfly. Soon, after growing big, the caterpillar makes a cover for itself. It covers itself in a protective blanket and goes to sleep. This stage is known as the “pupa (蛹)” stage. After a period of time, the blanket breaks and a wet, weak butterfly appears. It now has six legs, a mouth, eyes and wings. Shortly, the wings fill with blood, and the beautiful, colourful butterfly spreads its wings and flies away. After a few weeks, this adult butterfly lays her eggs, and the cycle begins all over again. This is just one example of the wonders of nature. Look into the woods and mountains and see what you can find next. 34. What does the underlined word “cover” mean in Paragraph 4? A a thing that the caterpillar discovers to hide under B. a thing that the caterpillar makes to protect itself C. a thing that the caterpillar uses to hide its food D. a thing that the caterpillar finds to clean itself 35. What is the right order of the development of a butterfly? ① It becomes a pupa. ② It becomes a walking insect. ③ Female butterflies lay an egg. ④ It spreads wings and flies away. A. ①②③④ B. ①②④③ C. ③②①④ D. ③②④① 36. What does this passage mainly talk about? A. It’s great to enjoy the nature. B. The amazing process of a butterfly’s life cycle. C. The beautiful appearance and flying skills of adult butterflies. D. The different growth stages of an insect’s life. 37. What’s the structure of this passage? A. B. C. D. （C） I have just returned from a visit to my landlord, Mr. Heathcliff. I am delighted with the house I am renting from him, which suits me perfectly. Mr. Heathcliff is my only neighbor, and I think his character is like mine. He does not like people either. When I introduced myself, he said nothing, but frowned (皱眉), and did not encourage me to enter. After a while, however, he decided to invite me in. “Joseph!” he called. Joseph was an old servant (仆人). He looked crossly up at me as he took my horse. “Oh dear! A visitor!” he whispered to himself. Perhaps there were no other servants, I thought. And it seemed that Heathcliff hardly ever received guests. His house is called Wuthering Heights. The name means “a windswept house on a hill”, and it is a very good description. The trees around the house are bent by the north wind, which blows fiercely (猛烈地) every day of the year. Fortunately (幸运地), the house is strongly built, and is not damaged even by the worst winter storms. Mr. Heathcliff and I entered the huge main room. We sat down by the fire, in silence. “Joseph!” shouted Mr. Heathcliff. No answer came from the cellar (地下室), so he rushed down there, leaving me alone with several rather fierce-looking dogs. Suddenly, one of them jumped angrily up at me, and in a moment all the others were attacking me. “Help! Mr. Heathcliff! Help!” I shouted. My landlord was nowhere to be seen, but fortunately a woman, who might be the housekeeper, rushed into the room to calm the dogs. “What is the matter?” Mr. Heathcliff asked me rudely, as he finally entered the room, accompanied by his man-servant. “Your dogs, sir!” I replied. “You shouldn’t leave a stranger with them. They’re dangerous.” “Come, come, Mr. Lockwood. Have some wine. We don’t often have strangers here. I’m afraid neither I nor my dogs are used to receiving them.” I could not feel angry after this, and accepted the wine. We sat drinking and talking together for a while. I suggested visiting him tomorrow. He did not seem eager to see me again, but I shall go anyway. He seems a fascinating man. 38. What did Joseph mean when he said “Oh dear! A visitor!” in Paragraph 4? A. He was very surprised to have a visitor. B. He thought Mr. Lockwood was a new servant. C. He had waited for Mr. Lockwood for a long time. D. He was happy to make friends with Mr. Lockwood. 39. Why is the house called “Wuthering Heights”? A. The weather is windy all the year round near the house. B. It is protected well by the trees around it. C. The unique appearance of the house attracts many tourists. D. It is specially designed to stand against strong winds. 40. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to? A. The servant. B. The house. C. The wind. D. The name. 41. What was the writer’s impression of Mr. Heathcliff? A. He was rich but foolish. B. He was rude but interesting. C. He was handsome but boring. D. He was strange but friendly. （D） Perfect Guide to Making a Summer Diary Imagine a summer full of adventures and discoveries.
