Every time I want to sit on the grass,“Keep off the grass” signs make 2 nervous. In the UK, whether it's in fields of wild grass or in well-kept national parks, people make good 3 of the green grass. The British take grassland for granted(认为……理所当然).If it 4 a sunny day, people will sit on a bed of grass and relax in the sun's warmth. This gives you the chance 5 to the sound of nature. Maybe it’s a bird singing to 6 , or the soft wind that brings you cool air. Also, in most schools, grass fields act like a soft study desk for students to read books and learn. 7 they can be used to just talk, laugh and play on. Besides, families enjoy 8 their weekends on the grass in parks. There, families can set up a picnic and children can play games. However, there is 9 rule to make people enjoy the green grass. In some parks, there are different grasslands for people to relax and play sport on. If people want to relax, they’d better choose the right field, or they 10 feel the full force of a football! 1.

A 【导语】这是一篇说明文，作者通过对比中英两国人们对待草坪的不同态度，讲述了自己在英国的生活感受。 1. 句意：我在中国待了八个月。 根据在中国待了八个月，确定时间表达用for+一段时间，in后接年/月/季节，after后接时间点，此处“eight months”是时间段，应选用for。 2. 句意：每次我想坐在草地上时，“禁止践踏草坪”的标识让我很紧张。 根据动词make后接人称代词宾格作宾语，me是宾格，I是主格，myself是反身代词，应选用me。 3. 句意：在英国，无论是在野草地还是维护良好的国家公园，人们都充分利用这片绿草。 根据上文，此处指利用草坪。根据动词搭配“make good use of”，应选用名词use“利用”构成该短语，uses(动词三单形式)及useful(形容词，“有用的”)均无法构成此搭配，故排除。 4. 句意：如果是晴天，人们会坐在草地上，在阳光下放松。 根据 if 引导的条件状语从句“主将从现”原则，应选用一般现在时的is，was(一般过去时)和 will be(一般将来时)不符合时态规则，故排除。 5. 句意：这给了你聆听大自然声音的机会。 根据动词搭配“the chance to do something”，应选用动词不定式to listen作后置定语，listen (动词原形)和listening (现在分词/动名词)不符合该结构，故排除。 6. 句意：也许是一只鸟在对另一只鸟歌唱，或者是微风为你带来凉意。 根据前文“a bird”表示单数泛指另一个，应选用another，表示“另一个”。other表示“两个中的另一个”不能单独使用，others’表示“他人的”，与语境无关。 7. 句意：或者，它们也可以只是用来聊天、欢笑和玩耍。 根据上下文，此处指草地的各种用处，表示选择关系，应选用连词Or，So表因果、But表转折，均不符合逻辑。 8. 句意：此外，家庭喜欢在公园的草地上度过周末。 根据动词搭配enjoy doing something，应选用动名词spending作宾语，spend(动词原形)和spent(过去分词/一般过去时)不能直接跟在enjoy后。 9. 句意：然而，有一条规则让人们能够享受绿草。 根据单数可数名词rule且辅音音素开头，应选用不定冠词a，an用于元音音素开头，the表特指。 10. 句意：如果人们想放松，最好选择合适的场地，否则他们可能会感受到足球的全力冲击！ 此处表示不确定推测，应选用情态动词may，should表建议、must表肯定推测，均不符合语境。 二、完形填空 Passage 2 I was born in a small town of Vietnam (越南).

So I learnt to look after myself.”以及“I knew clearly that the things people encouraged us to do in Vietnam might be...in America.”可知，作者遇到了很多困难，这些都是融入新文化过程中的挑战。故选C。 3. 句意：我的父母经常把我一个人留在家里，因为他们不得不工作很多。 since因为；unless除非；if如果；until直到。根据“My parents often left me home alone...they had to work a lot.”可知，空格前后是因果关系，前果后因，用since引导原因状语从句。故选A。 4. 句意：随着年龄的增长，我试图了解这个国家的社会规则。 rules规则；roles角色；dates日期；purposes目的。根据后文“I knew clearly that the things people encouraged us to do in Vietnam might be...in America.”可知，作者了解到在越南鼓励做的事情在美国可能不合适，说明作者在了解美国的社会规则。故选A。 5. 句意：我清楚地知道，在越南鼓励我们做的事情在美国可能是不合适的。 unsafe不安全的；improper不合适的；informal非正式的；unimportant不重要的。根据后文“For example, when I first greeted my American classmate with a big hug, she looked surprised—I later knew that in America, hugs are usually for close friends”可知，作者以拥抱的方式问候美国同学，同学很惊讶，因为在美拥抱通常只适用于亲密的朋友，由此可知在越南鼓励做的事情在美国可能是不合适的。故选B。 6. 句意：后来我才知道，在美国，拥抱通常是给亲密朋友的，而不是陌生人。 strangers陌生人；relatives亲戚；teachers老师；neighbors邻居。根据“hugs are usually for close friends, not...”可知，拥抱通常是给亲密朋友的，而不是给陌生人的。故选A。 7. 句意：后来，我习惯了在美国的生活。 made preparations for为……做准备；made a difference to对……产生影响；got used to习惯于；felt angry about对……感到生气。根据后文“Now I’m living a happy life here.”可知，作者现在在美国生活得很快乐，说明作者习惯了在美国的生活。故选C。 8. 句意：然而，我的经历表明这是错误的。 true真实的；wrong错误的；fun有趣的；early早的。根据前文“I used to think my immigrant (移民) background was an awful thing.”以及后文“In fact, going through these challenges can make you...”可知，作者以前认为自己的移民背景是一件糟糕的事情，但事实上经历这些挑战能让人变得更好，说明作者以前的想法是错误的。故选B。 9. 句意：事实上，经历这些挑战可以让你更强大。 stronger更强壮的；prettier更漂亮的；healthier更健康的；cleverer更聪明的。根据前文“However, my experience showed that it was...”以及后文“So, instead of complaining (抱怨), we should...each change and experience something different in our life.”可知，作者的经历表明移民背景不是一件糟糕的事情，经历挑战能让人变得更好，结合选项可知，应该是让人更强大。故选A。 10. 句意：所以，与其抱怨，我们应该接受生活中的每一个变化，体验不同的东西。 create创造；accept接受；imagine想象；check检查。根据前文“In fact, going through these challenges can make you...”以及“instead of complaining (抱怨)”可知，经历挑战能让人变得更好，所以与其抱怨，不如接受生活中的变化，体验不同的东西。故选B。 三、阅读理解 A Last summer, I went to visit my uncle in England. I had a great time there, but I also made some funny mistakes because of cultural differences. One day, my uncle took me to a restaurant. When the waiter came, I said, “I want a hamburger and a cola.” But my uncle told me that in England, it’s more polite to say “Could I have a hamburger and a cola, please?” I felt embarrassed but learned a lesson. Another time, I met my uncle’s friend, Mr. Brown. I reached out my hand to shake hands with him, but he gave me a kiss on the cheek. I was surprised because in China, we only shake hands when we meet someone for the first time. Then, at a party, I saw people opening their gifts immediately when they received them. In China, we usually open gifts later when we get home. I asked my uncle why, and he said that in England, it’s polite to open gifts in front of the giver to show you like them. These mistakes taught me that learning about different cultures is very important. It helps us get on well with people from other countries. 1. The writer went to ________ last summer. A．America B．England C．Japan D．India 2. When ordering food in England, we should ________ to be polite. A．say “I want…” B．say “Could I have…, please?” C．shout to the waiter D．not say anything 3.

B．Cultural differences are not important. C．We should learn about different cultures. D．Chinese culture is better than English culture. 【答案】1. B 2. B 3. C 4. A 5. C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己去年暑假去英国看望叔叔时，因为文化差异在点餐、问候和收礼物三个方面遭遇的尴尬经历，并最终感悟到了解不同文化的重要性。 1. 第一段开篇提到：“Last summer, I went to visit my uncle in England.”，这明确指出作者去年夏天去了英国。 2. 第二段中叔叔告诉作者：“…it’s more polite to say ‘Could I have a hamburger and a cola, please?’”，这表明在英国点餐时，应使用委婉的询问句式以示礼貌。 3. 第三段描述了问候时的情景：“I reached out my hand…but he gave me a kiss on the cheek.”，这说明布朗先生是用亲吻脸颊的方式来问候作者的。 4. 第四段中叔叔解释了当面打开礼物的原因：“…to open gifts in front of the giver to show you like them.”，这说明这样做是为了向送礼者展示喜爱之情。 5. 文章最后一段总结了作者的感悟：“These mistakes taught me that learning about different cultures is very important.”，这直接说明作者认识到了解不同文化的重要性。 B What things are acceptable when you are at the dinner table and what things are serious breaches (违反) of manners? I will tell you some of the most important American table manners. When you sit down to eat, you should place the napkin (餐巾) across your lap. You should never talk with your mouth full and should chew (咀嚼) with your mouth closed. If someone asks you a question while you are chewing, you should finish chewing and then swallow the food before answering. You should never drop scraps (残羹剩饭) on the table. Instead, place them on a spare plate. Besides, only put food on someone else’s plate if they ask for it. And if they say they don’t want anything else to eat or drink, then you shouldn’t give them anything else. Never use your knife or fork to point at others because it is rude. In China, I know it’s rude to point with your chopsticks. It’s common practice to place food into friends’ bowls and to put drinks in their glasses even after they have said they don’t want any more. It’s fine to drop the scraps onto the table. Besides, talking while you’re eating is okay. Manners are different all over the world and can even be different in different parts of a country. Have you ever seen foreigners do anything impolite? Is there anything you have done that they might see as impolite? 1. What should you do first when you sit down to eat in America? A．Give thanks. B．Clean the tableware(餐具). C．Take a photo of the food. D．Place the napkin on the lap. 2. What does the underlined word “swallow” probably mean in Chinese in Paragraph 2? A．吞下 B．消化 C．吐掉 D．吸收 3. What can we know from the passage? A．American people don’t talk with others at the dinner table. B．It is common to place food into a friend’s bowl in America. C．American people like asking others to eat as much as possible. D．It is rude to point with the tableware in America and in China. 4. What is the structure of the passage?(P-Paragraph) A． B． C． D． 5. What is the best title for the passage? A．Table Manners in America B．How to Behave Well in China C．American and Chinese Table Manners D．Manners All over the World 【答案】1. D 2. A 3. D 4. B 5. C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，通过对比的方式介绍了美国和中国的餐桌礼仪，并指出世界各地礼仪的差异。 1. 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“When you sit down to eat, you should place the napkin (餐巾) across your lap.”可知，在美国，当你坐下吃饭时，首先应该把餐巾放在膝盖上。故选D。 2. 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“If someone asks you a question while you are chewing, you should finish chewing and then swallow the food before answering.”可知，如果有人在你咀嚼时问你问题，你应该在回答之前先咀嚼完，然后吞下食物。因此，“swallow”意为“吞下”。故选A。 3. 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Never use your knife or fork to point at others because it is rude.”和第三段“In China, I know it’s rude to point with your chopsticks.”可知，在美国和中国，用餐具指着别人都是不礼貌的。故选D。 4. 篇章结构题。文章首先介绍了美国餐桌礼仪，接着对比介绍了中国餐桌礼仪，最后总结了世界各地礼仪的差异。因此，文章结构为“总-分-总”结构。故选B。 5. 最佳标题题。文章通过对比的方式介绍了美国和中国的餐桌礼仪，并指出世界各地礼仪的差异。因此，最佳标题为“美国和中国的餐桌礼仪”。故选C。 C 配对阅读。左栏是五种文化习俗，右栏是七个主题。请为每种文化习俗选择一个合适的主题。 1 It is polite to eat the food that you are offered, so a clear plate is good. It shows that you enjoy the food. If you can’t finish everything and you have to leave a little, that’s OK. 2 In Western countries, people think dogs are honest (诚实的) and good friends of humans. In English, people use “dog” to describe positive (积极的) actions, but “cat” is often used to describe a woman who is cruel (残忍的). 3 Most Americans only give themselves a short time for lunch, so they have a small lunch. After work they will have more time to have a big dinner. Also talking with the family at table is a way to take a good rest after a long, hard day of work. 4 In Arab countries, there are strict rules for women. They do not let people see their faces in public. Women can’t drive cars, either. All dresses for women have to cover the body completely (完全地). 5 When you cross the street in England, you must remember to look right because cars drive on the left. The pavements (人行道) are usually crowded too, and it’s polite to say “Excuse me” or “Sorry” when you want to pass someone. A．A small lunch and a big dinner. B．How much to eat at table.

If you can’t finish everything and you have to leave a little, that’s OK.”可知吃别人给你的食物是礼貌的，所以一个干净的盘子是好的。这表明你喜欢食物。如果你不能吃完，你需要留下一点，没关系。选项B“用餐时要吃多少。”与之匹配，故选B。 2. 根据“In Western countries, people think dogs are honest and good friends of humans. In English, people use ‘dog’ to describe positive actions, but ‘cat’ is often used to describe a woman who is cruel.”可知在西方国家，人们认为狗是人类诚实的好朋友。在英语中，人们用“狗”来形容积极的行为，但“猫”通常用来形容残忍的女人。选项D“西方国家的‘狗’和‘猫’词汇。”与之匹配，故选D。 3. 根据“Most Americans only give themselves a short time for lunch, so they have a small lunch. After work they will have more time to have a big dinner. Also talking with the family at table is a way to take a good rest after a long, hard day of work.”可知大多数美国人只给自己很短的时间吃午饭，所以他们只吃少量的午餐。下班后，他们将有更多的时间吃一顿丰盛的晚餐。此外，与家人在用餐时谈论他们的一天，也是一种在漫长而艰苦的一天工作之后好好休息的方式。选项A“一顿小小的午餐和一顿丰盛的晚餐。”与之匹配，故选A。 4. 根据“In Arab countries, there are strict rules for women. They do not let people see their faces in public. Women can’t drive cars, either. All dresses for women have to cover the body completely.”可知在阿拉伯国家，对妇女有严格的规定。他们不让人们在公共场合看到他们的脸。女人也不能开车。女人穿的所有衣服都必须完全遮盖身体。选项F“阿拉伯国家妇女的规则。”与之匹配，故选F。 5. 根据“When you cross the street in England, you must remember to look right because cars drive on the left.

One day we had a discussion 1 saying “I love you”. I was shocked to learn that they had never said this to their mothers and 2 had their mothers said it to them. “Does your mom love you?” “Of course,” they answered. “How do you know?” I asked. They said that their moms usually cooked and told them what they were doing wrong in life. These are common ways 3 their caring. In return, moms hoped their kids could get good grades and good jobs. Then I found that understanding a different culture was much 4 for me. In my culture, most people offer to say love in life, so I 5 my opinions about love on that day. It seemed that my words made a 6 to some of my students. One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl. When she came home one day, her mother 7 in the kitchen. She went to her and hugged (拥抱) her 8 . Her mother was surprised because this never happened before, but she said, “I noticed that in some places, mothers and children hug each other. 1 thought 9 was a good idea to show my love.” In my family, we all say “I love you” a lot.

It is an important time. In Japan, young people become adults when they turn 20. The country celebrates it on the second Monday in January. The new adults dress up in traditional clothes for it. Then, they go to a special event(公开活动). After all that, the new adults can really celebrate. They take lots of pictures and go to parties with their friends and families. For the Teochew people(潮汕人) in China, teenagers become adults at 15. Families have a special event for them on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month. It’s called Chu Hua Yuan, and it means “leaving the garden”. Before the event, the new adults have to clean their bodies with flower water. That washes bad things away. Then, they put on new clothes and special shoes, and they give thanks to their parents. Lastly, the new adults enjoy a big meal with 12 dishes. For even more luck, they bite(咬) the head of a cooked chicken. No matter what the tradition is, it really helps the new adults get ready for the next part of their lives.

It helps the new adults get ready for the next part of their lives and learn to be independent. 例文： Nowadays, many of the students depend too much on their parents in their lives. The parents always help their children do too many things, so more and more students are short of independence. I think it’s really important to develop independence. That’s because it can make us become bravely when we meet difficulties. So how to develop our independence? Here’s some advice. First, we must study independently. We should finish our homework independently and make a study plan carefully. Besides, we should help our parents to do chores at home. I think doing housework can teach us how to look after ourselves. Finally, when we meet some problems, try our best to solve them by ourselves. It will make us become braver and cleverer. All in all, I believe if we can keep doing these things, we will be more independent. Let’s study hard to be a independent student and get ready for the next year’s study. 【导语】本文主要介绍了日本和中国潮汕地区的成年礼传统。 1. 根据“In many parts of the world, when children turn a certain age like 16 or 18, they will have celebrations(庆典) for their coming of age”可知，当孩子们到了16岁或18岁的时候，他们会举行庆祝活动来庆祝他们的成年，故填When children turn a certain age like 16 or 18. 2. 根据“In Japan”及“For the Teochew people(潮汕人) in China”可知，介绍了日本和中国这两个国家，故填Two./2/Two countries are mentioned in the passage. 3. 根据“It’s called Chu Hua Yuan, and it means ‘leaving the garden’.”可知，意思是“出花园”，故填It means “leaving the garden”. 4. 根据“For even more luck, they bite(咬) the head of a cooked chicken.”可知，可以得到更多的幸运，故填For even more luck./Because they can get even more luck. 5. 根据“No matter what the tradition is, it really helps the new adults get ready for the next part of their lives.

I had a great time there, but I also made some funny mistakes because of cultural differences. One day, my uncle took me to a restaurant. When the waiter came, I said, “I want a hamburger and a cola.” But my uncle told me that in England, it’s more polite to say “Could I have a hamburger and a cola, please?” I felt embarrassed but learned a lesson. Another time, I met my uncle’s friend, Mr. Brown. I reached out my hand to shake hands with him, but he gave me a kiss on the cheek. I was surprised because in China, we only shake hands when we meet someone for the first time. Then, at a party, I saw people opening their gifts immediately when they received them. In China, we usually open gifts later when we get home. I asked my uncle why, and he said that in England, it’s polite to open gifts in front of the giver to show you like them. These mistakes taught me that learning about different cultures is very important. It helps us get on well with people from other countries. 1. The writer went to ________ last summer.

B What things are acceptable when you are at the dinner table and what things are serious breaches (违反) of manners? I will tell you some of the most important American table manners. When you sit down to eat, you should place the napkin (餐巾) across your lap. You should never talk with your mouth full and should chew (咀嚼) with your mouth closed. If someone asks you a question while you are chewing, you should finish chewing and then swallow the food before answering. You should never drop scraps (残羹剩饭) on the table. Instead, place them on a spare plate. Besides, only put food on someone else’s plate if they ask for it. And if they say they don’t want anything else to eat or drink, then you shouldn’t give them anything else. Never use your knife or fork to point at others because it is rude. In China, I know it’s rude to point with your chopsticks. It’s common practice to place food into friends’ bowls and to put drinks in their glasses even after they have said they don’t want any more. It’s fine to drop the scraps onto the table. Besides, talking while you’re eating is okay. Manners are different all over the world and can even be different in different parts of a country. Have you ever seen foreigners do anything impolite? Is there anything you have done that they might see as impolite? 1. What should you do first when you sit down to eat in America? A．Give thanks. B．Clean the tableware(餐具). C．Take a photo of the food. D．Place the napkin on the lap. 2. What does the underlined word “swallow” probably mean in Chinese in Paragraph 2? A．吞下 B．消化 C．吐掉 D．吸收 3.
