Let's look at how people greet each other in four countries. In Japan, people often bow to show respect. The depth of the bow depends on the situation—a slight bow for friends, a deeper one for elders or superiors. They rarely hug or kiss when greeting. In Brazil, greetings are warm and friendly. People often hug and kiss each other on the cheek, even if they meet for the first time. It's common to shake hands first, and then move to a hug. In Saudi Arabia, men greet other men with a handshake and a light hug, sometimes touching cheeks. Women usually greet other women in the same way, but men and women rarely shake hands unless the woman offers first. In South Korea， ▲ . Younger people often bow to older people as a sign of respect. Handshakes are common too, but they are usually softer than in Western countries. 根据以上内容，选择正确答案。 ( )1.Which is Not right?

B ①Wang Lei, a high school student, visited Egypt with his parents last summer. He had read a lot about Egyptian culture but still faced some surprises. ②First, greetings. Egyptians often shake hands firmly and may hold the handshake longer than Chinese people do. Wang Lei felt a bit uncomfortable at first but soon realized it's a sign of warmth. Second, dining. At a local family's home, he found that meals are usually eaten with flatbread and hand—right hand instead of chopsticks. The host told him that using hands to tear bread and pick up food is common—but only with the right hand, as the left is considered unclean. ③Another shock was the role of tea. In China, tea is often served to guests as a polite gesture, but in Egypt, tea(usually sweet and strong)is a daily necessity. Wang Lei was offered tea five times in one day! He also noticed that Egyptians love to talk loudly and gesture with their hands while chatting, which made conversations feel lively. ④On his last day, Wang Lei visited a market. A vendor smiled and said, “Welcome, friend！” in broken Chinese. This made him realize that kindness is a universal language, even with cultural differences. 根据短文内容，选择正确答案。 ( )5.What do Egyptians often use to eat meals? A．Chopsticks. B．Spoons and forks. C．Flatbread and hands(right hand). D．Knives. ( )6.Why did Wang Lei feel surprised about tea in Egypt? A．It was served only to strangers. B．It was very bitter. C．It was offered not frequently. D．It was a daily necessity. ( )7.[排序]Which is the right order? a.Wang Lei realized it's a sign of warmth when shaking hands. b．Wang Lei realized that kindness is a universal language, even with cultural differences. c．Wang Lei read a lot about Egyptian culture. d．Wang Lei was offered tea five times in one day. A．a→c→b→d B．c→a→d→b C．b→a→d→c D．d→b→a→c ( )8.What is the structure of this passage? A．①/②/③/④ B．①/②③④ C．①/②③/④ D．①②/③④ C Maria, a student from Spain, visited Indonesia last month. She stayed with a local family and experienced many new things. When she arrived, the family welcomed her with a traditional dance. 9.__. She later learned that the dance is called “Tari Pendet”(迎宾舞)and is a way to greet guests. At dinner, the family served “nasi goreng”(fried rice)and “satay”(grilled meat). 10.__. Maria tried it and found it delicious, though spicier than Spanish food. The next day, they went to a temple. 11.__. Maria followed their example and felt it showed respect for their religion. In the evening, the family's children taught her a local game. 12._. She laughed a lot and realized that fun doesn't need words. On her last day, the mother gave her a “batik”(traditional cloth)as a gift. It was a colourful cloth with beautiful patterns. Maria knew this gift represented their friendship. 根据短文内容，将下面方框内的选项还原到文中空白处，使短文内容完整、通顺，每个选项只能用一次，其中有一个选项是多余的。 A．Before entering, everyone took off their shoes B．She thought everything was strange C．Maria joined in, even though she didn't know the steps D．They ate with their hands, using banana leaves as plates E．They played with small stones and sang a local song D Zhang Wei volunteered in Kenya last summer. He lived in a small village and helped teach children English. The first thing he noticed was the greetings. Villagers would say “Jambo！”(Hello)and shake hands, but they often held the handshake longer and asked about his family. Zhang Wei felt this was much warmer than the quick greetings in his city in China. Meals in the village were simple but delicious. They ate “ugali”(a porridge made from corn)and vegetables, usually with hands—but only the right hand. The women told him that using the left hand is considered rude. Zhang Wei practised and soon got used to it. One day, the village had a celebration for a good harvest. People sang, danced, and shared food. An old man told Zhang Wei, “In our culture, sharing is everything.” This made him think about how in China, family gatherings also focus on sharing food and stories. Before leaving, the children gave him drawings they had made. Zhang Wei kept them as a reminder of the kind people he met. 根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 13．What did villagers say when greeting Zhang Wei? ___________________ 14．What did Zhang Wei eat in the Kenyan village? ______________________________________ 15．What gift did the Kenyan children give Zhang Wei? _________________________________ 16．What do you think of cross­cultural communication from Zhang Wei's experience? Why? Write 30 words or more. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Zhang Wei's experience in Kenya was really meaningful and full of interesting moments. It made me see that cross­cultural communication isn't just about learning different customs—it's also about seeing how kindness connects us all, making the world a better place. 二、语法填空。 在空白处填入一个适当的单词或用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。 Li Na moved to Canada to study last year.
