Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Give a man a fish,and he will eat for a day; teach him to fish,and he'll eat for a lifetime.
In 1991,while teaching English in Ukraine,we did some sightseeing.One weekend in Kherson,a port city,I boarded the wrong ferry,going to somewhere I never knew.On the ferry I was recognized by two students at the college I was visiting.One of them was going to visit her parents at their “summerhouse”,a vegetable garden on a small island.When the young lady understood that I had no destination in mind,she invited me along and I agreed.It was the sort of visit with a family one hopes for,and rarely gets,in a foreign country.Her father was an amateur photographer,and since the fastest film he could get locally was ASA 64,he was thrilled that I could leave him a few rolls of ASA 400 color film.The mother prided herself on her cooking,but had limited supplies,so they walked around the island and invited several other families to a potluck supper.The main course was sturgeon (鲟),which was at least six feet long in the river.It was a gift of a fish that must have fed a few families for several days.
In 1965,I was studying German in Munich,Germany.I met a young American man who had been sent to Munich for business.He could not find the local branch of his company,and I gave him directions.When he left Munich,he gave me the food he'd been carrying,a can of gefilte fish,a sort of seasoned fish ball.I was feeling homesick,and this old favorite really hit the spot.A gift of canned gefilte fish seemed an improbable favor to return.But nearly 50 years later,I had a cousin who was working in Nairobi,Kenya.He wanted to organize an Americanstyle Passover Seder (逾越节晚餐) for his friends,but could not find Americanstyle gefilte fish in Kenya.While it usually comes in bottles,I was able to locate some packed in cans,and I mailed a box of canned gefilte fish to him from America.

The handshake has existed in some form or another for thousands of years,but there are different ideas about its source.One popular theory is that the gesture began as a way of expressing peaceful purposes.By holding out their empty right hands,strangers could show that they were not holding knives and bore no illwill toward one another.Yet another explanation is that the handshake was a symbol of good faith when making a promise.When they held others' hands,people showed that their word was a close relationship.
“An agreement could be expressed quickly and clearly in words,” the historian Walter Burkert once explained,“but was only made effective by a ritual gesture:open,empty hands reached out toward one another,catching each other in a handshake.”
One of the earliest descriptions of a handshake is found in the ninth century B.C.The Assyrian King Shalmaneser Ⅲpressed the flesh with a Babylonian ruler to form a union.Poet Homer described handshakes several times in his “Iliad” and “Odyssey,” most often in relation to expressions of trust.The gesture was also common in the fourth and fifth century B.C.Greek funeral.Gravestones would often show the dead person shaking hands with a member of their family,meaning either a final goodbye or the lasting connection between the living and the dead.In ancient Rome,meanwhile,the handshake was often used as a symbol of friendship.Pairs of shaking hands even appeared on Roman coins.

解析 B 细节理解题。根据第二段“‘An agreement could be expressed quickly and clearly in words,’ the historian Walter Burkert once explained,‘but was only made effective by a ritual gesture:open,empty hands reached out toward one another,catching each other in a handshake.’”可知,Walter Burkert意思是握手后协议生效。故选B。
7.What does the underlined part “pressed the flesh” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
