However, there are some other choices. Wai bow In many Asian countries, people greet each other by bowing. In Thailand , a bow is known as a “wai”. To greet someone, like your teachers, press your hands together near your stomach. Then, lower your head and raise your hands until your fingers touch your nose. To greet an older person or someone your age, do the same thing, but this time, touch your nose with your index fingers instead. And if someone “wais” to you, you can return it. Just place your palms together in front of your chest. Two claps (鼓掌) Some Zimbabweans (津巴布韦人) follow handshakes with two claps each. When two people meet, they shake hands and one person asks, “How are you?” Then, this person claps. The other person replies, “I’m fine,” and claps in return. Shaka sign This way of greeting has been popular among some people. It started with Hamana Kalili, a Hawaiian man. After losing his three middle fingers in an accident, he used the Shaka sign to greet his coworkers. To show your own shaka, curl your three middle fingers, straighten out your thumb and little finger, and shake your hand back and forth. 11. What is the correct way to perform a “wai” bow in Thailand? A. Cross arms and nod. B. Shake hands and clap twice. C. Bow deeply, hands at sides. D. Press hands and fingers touch nose. 12. Why do some Zimbabweans follow handshakes with two claps? A. To show respect to elders. B. To follow the rules of the law. C. To complete their traditional greeting. D. To signal the end of the conversation. 13. What caused Hamana Kalili to create the Shaka sign? A. He was a famous surfer. B. He invented it as a fashion statement. C. He used it to communicate with friends. D. He lost his three middle fingers in an accident. 14. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to greet someone? A. Bowing in Thailand. B. Hugging in Argentina. C. Using the Shaka sign in Hawaii. D. Clapping in Zimbabwe. 【答案】11. D 12. C 13. D 14. B 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了几种问候方式。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据“To greet someone, like your teachers, press your hands together near your stomach. Then, lower your head and raise your hands until your fingers touch your nose.”可知，用手和手指触摸鼻子‌是泰国合十礼的正确方式。故选D。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Some Zimbabweans (津巴布韦人) follow handshakes with two claps each. When two people meet, they shake hands and one person asks, “How are you?” Then, this person claps. The other person replies, “I’m fine,” and claps in return.”可知，津巴布韦人握手后一个人拍手，另一个人也拍手作为回应。会拍手两次是要完成他们的传统问候。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据“It started with Hamana Kalili, a Hawaiian man. After losing his three middle fingers in an accident, he used the Shaka sign to greet his coworkers.”可知，Hamana Kalili在一次事故中失去了三根中指，这促使他创造了沙卡手势问候别人。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。本文介绍了几种问候方式，包括泰国的合十礼、津巴布韦的鼓掌和夏威夷的沙卡手势，没有提到阿根廷的拥抱。故选B。 B The Xisha Islands are in the northwest part of the South China Sea. They are beautiful places with nice views and many resources (资源). This is how our primary school textbook describes them. Many Chinese people know about the South China Sea and the Xisha Islands, but only a few have been there. These islands are far away and have a weak ecosystem (生态环境). Because of this, most activities there are just fishing, protecting the environment, and doing scientific studies. Visitors are mainly government workers, fishermen’s relatives, and media (媒体) members. In 2012, the Chinese government set up Sansha City on Xisha’s Yongxing Island. I once visited the Yongle Islands, part of Sansha. I thought the fishermen’s homes would be simple, but they were very comfortable. The island had a vegetable garden, and green vegetables were seen on the local tables. I stayed in a hotel with a playground downstairs. After dinner, everyone got together to play games. Later, I walked along the island’s paths, enjoying the sea view and a peaceful moment. Fishermen told me they used traditional ways to fish. They knew exactly which fish could be caught because of their different sizes. As for smaller fish, fishermen released (释放) them back into the sea. One thing that I never forgot was an outdoor movie called Island Keeper. It was about a couple who guarded the island for 32 years. Many fishermen were moved to tears. One fisherman said as life on the island improved, his family loved to stay on the island during the fishing season. He also drove a passenger boat, so he made more money even when he was not fishing. The careful management of the Xisha Islands limits (限制) tourism but gives job opportunities (机会) to local fishermen. 15. What does the word “them” in the first paragraph refer to? A. nice views B. the Xisha Islands C. many resources D. the South China Sea 16. What causes only a few people to visit the Xisha Islands? ① The islands are far away. ② Not many people know the islands. ③ The ecosystem there is weak. ④ The islands are used for scientific study. A. ①② B. ③④ C. ②④ D. ①③ 17. What can we infer from the text now? A. Fishermen catch fish in modern ways. B. Fishermen enjoy their life on the islands. C. More and more visitors come to the Xisha Islands now. D. The living conditions of fishermen are poor and simple. 18. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The beautiful scenery and rich resources of the Xisha Islands. B. The history and development of Sansha City on the Xisha Island. C. The writer’s experience in the Xisha Islands and the management and life there. D. The traditional fishing methods of fishermen in the Xisha Islands. 【答案】15. B 16. D 17. B 18. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在西沙群岛的见闻，包括西沙群岛的自然风光、资源、管理措施以及当地渔民的生活情况。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“The Xisha Islands are in the northwest part of the South China Sea. They are beautiful places with nice views and many resources (资源).”可知，“them”指代的是前文提到的“The Xisha Islands”（西沙群岛）。故选B。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据“These islands are far away and have a weak ecosystem… Because of this, most activities there are just fishing, protecting the environment, and doing scientific study.”可知，游客稀少的原因是：①岛屿远离大陆；③生态环境脆弱。故选D。 【17题详解】 推理判断题。根据“One fisherman said as life on the island improved, his family loved to stay on the island during the fishing season.”可推断，渔民们享受岛上的生活。故选B。 【18题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕作者在西沙群岛的经历展开，描述了岛上的管理措施、渔民的生活以及自然风光。因此，文章的主旨是“作者在西沙群岛的经历以及岛上的管理和生活”。故选C。 C 根据短文内容，从短文后面的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余项。 Do you think you are a happy child? What makes a boy or girl happy? As the saying goes, a happy child always has a hobby. We know sayings are wise and true. Having an interest you truly love can fill your days with joy and purpose.

But the new dogs were not real sledge-dogs and they knew nothing about the work. Charles and Hal put them into harness, but Buck could not teach them how to pull a sledge. So now there were six dogs who couldn’t pull at all, and eight dogs who were tired after pulling for four thousand kilometers. But Charles and Hal were happy. They had more dogs than any sledge that they had seen at Skagway. The next morning Buck led the team up the street. They moved slowly, because they were tired before they started. Buck had pulled to Dawson and back twice, and he didn’t want to do it again. It took them a long time to get ready to leave. And when they did start, they often had to stop because something had fallen off the sledge. On some days they traveled 20 kilometers and on some days only 10. They didn’t have enough dog food when they started and they used what they had much too quickly. Hal and Mercedes both gave the dogs extra food with different purposes. But it was not food that they wanted, but rest. Soon Hal saw that they had traveled only a quarter of the way, but had eaten half their food. He had to give the dogs less food. Unfortunately, the six new dogs, now weak and ill from hunger and hard work, died. Hal, Charles and Mercedes had started the journey happily, but now they were tired, cross and miserable. Charles and Hal argued about everything, because each thought that he was working harder than the other. Mercedes was unhappy because she thought that she shouldn’t have to work. 48.

However, there are some other choices. Wai bow In many Asian countries, people greet each other by bowing. In Thailand , a bow is known as a “wai”. To greet someone, like your teachers, press your hands together near your stomach. Then, lower your head and raise your hands until your fingers touch your nose. To greet an older person or someone your age, do the same thing, but this time, touch your nose with your index fingers instead. And if someone “wais” to you, you can return it. Just place your palms together in front of your chest. Two claps (鼓掌) Some Zimbabweans (津巴布韦人) follow handshakes with two claps each. When two people meet, they shake hands and one person asks, “How are you?” Then, this person claps. The other person replies, “I’m fine,” and claps in return. Shaka sign This way of greeting has been popular among some people. It started with Hamana Kalili, a Hawaiian man. After losing his three middle fingers in an accident, he used the Shaka sign to greet his coworkers. To show your own shaka, curl your three middle fingers, straighten out your thumb and little finger, and shake your hand back and forth. 11 What is the correct way to perform a “wai” bow in Thailand? A. Cross arms and nod. B. Shake hands and clap twice. C. Bow deeply, hands at sides. D. Press hands and fingers touch nose. 12. Why do some Zimbabweans follow handshakes with two claps? A. To show respect to elders. B. To follow the rules of the law. C. To complete their traditional greeting. D. To signal the end of the conversation. 13. What caused Hamana Kalili to create the Shaka sign? A. He was a famous surfer. B. He invented it as a fashion statement. C. He used it to communicate with friends. D. He lost his three middle fingers in an accident. 14. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a way to greet someone? A. Bowing in Thailand. B. Hugging in Argentina. C. Using the Shaka sign in Hawaii. D. Clapping in Zimbabwe. B The Xisha Islands are in the northwest part of the South China Sea. They are beautiful places with nice views and many resources (资源). This is how our primary school textbook describes them. Many Chinese people know about the South China Sea and the Xisha Islands, but only a few have been there. These islands are far away and have a weak ecosystem (生态环境). Because of this, most activities there are just fishing, protecting the environment, and doing scientific studies. Visitors are mainly government workers, fishermen’s relatives, and media (媒体) members. In 2012, the Chinese government set up Sansha City on Xisha’s Yongxing Island. I once visited the Yongle Islands, part of Sansha. I thought the fishermen’s homes would be simple, but they were very comfortable. The island had a vegetable garden, and green vegetables were seen on the local tables. I stayed in a hotel with a playground downstairs. After dinner, everyone got together to play games. Later, I walked along the island’s paths, enjoying the sea view and a peaceful moment. Fishermen told me they used traditional ways to fish. They knew exactly which fish could be caught because of their different sizes. As for smaller fish, fishermen released (释放) them back into the sea. One thing that I never forgot was an outdoor movie called Island Keeper. It was about a couple who guarded the island for 32 years. Many fishermen were moved to tears. One fisherman said as life on the island improved, his family loved to stay on the island during the fishing season. He also drove a passenger boat, so he made more money even when he was not fishing. The careful management of the Xisha Islands limits (限制) tourism but gives job opportunities (机会) to local fishermen. 15. What does the word “them” in the first paragraph refer to? A. nice views B. the Xisha Islands C. many resources D. the South China Sea 16. What causes only a few people to visit the Xisha Islands? ① The islands are far away. ② Not many people know the islands. ③ The ecosystem there is weak. ④ The islands are used for scientific study. A. ①② B. ③④ C. ②④ D. ①③ 17. What can we infer from the text now? A. Fishermen catch fish in modern ways. B. Fishermen enjoy their life on the islands. C. More and more visitors come to the Xisha Islands now. D. The living conditions of fishermen are poor and simple. 18. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The beautiful scenery and rich resources of the Xisha Islands. B. The history and development of Sansha City on the Xisha Island. C. The writer’s experience in the Xisha Islands and the management and life there. D. The traditional fishing methods of fishermen in the Xisha Islands.

They had more dogs than any sledge that they had seen at Skagway. The next morning Buck led the team up the street. They moved slowly, because they were tired before they started. Buck had pulled to Dawson and back twice, and he didn’t want to do it again. It took them a long time to get ready to leave.
