Passage 2
Sometimes, using hand gestures can bring more information and be more convenient than using words, especially when you are speaking to someone with no language in common. But the same gesture can mean something offensive (冒犯的) to a person from a different cultural background.
“V” Shape
In many countries, if you have your index and middle fingers pointed up in the“V”shape, it stands for winning. However, when you make the sign, be sure to have the front of your palm facing outward instead of inward, because showing people the back of your hand is impolite in some countries like the UK and Australia.
Finger Snap (打响指)
Snapping your thumb and middle finger over and over again may mean one is trying to remind someone of something forgotten. While, in Latin America, snapping them means asking one to hurry up. But one thing you should remember is that, in many cultures, snapping fingers close to someone’s face is considered to be an offensive gesture.
Fingers Crossed
Crossing your index and middle fingers is regarded as a sign of wishing for good luck or fortune. At other times, people cross their fingers before telling a lie, as it is believed to counteract (抵消) the bad things coming from the lie. So it is both a positive and a negative symbol.
“ILY” Sign
This is always a nice hand gesture from American Sign Language. It combines the letters “I”“L” and “Y” to mean “I love you”. People use this gesture very often to show their love for their family, friends and all the other people they love.
1. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Thumb and middle finger. B.Thumb and index finger.
C.Thumb and palm. D.Thumb and pinky finger.
2. On Mother’s Day, which hand gesture can best show love to your mum?

D.To encourage people to use hand gestures more often.
4. What can we know from the passage?
A.“V”shape sign means reminding someone of something forgotten.
B.Crossing fingers is always considered as a positive sign.
C.“ILY”sign is often used to wish for good luck or fortune.
D.Snapping fingers close to someone's face may be impolite.

The culture of using chopsticks has spread to many other 6 (Asia) countries. In Japan, people love the useful tools so much 7 they celebrate August 4th as Chopsticks Day every year. It’s 8 (proper) for Chinese to beat their bowls or point at others with chopsticks. They usually won’t start eating until the elderly move chopsticks. As an old saying goes, “A chopstick can be broken 9 (quick).

And to eat food, you must put your mouth close to your own bowl. But don’t be 7 (surprise) if people eat with their mouths open. This is normal in China.
Many of you have already known it’s 8 (embarrass) to open gifts in public. But that’s not the only important thing to know when 9 (receive) gifts in China.

【导语】文章介绍了三个国家独特的文化习俗,提醒人们在跨文化交流中需注意当地礼仪。
1. 细节理解题。根据第一栏“Be careful when giving flowers to your friend or a business partner in Russia. Yellow flowers mean a trick or a relationship break-up.”可知,黄色花朵意味着欺骗或关系的破裂,因此不能在婚礼上赠送黄色花朵。故选B。
2. 细节理解题。根据第二栏“In Venezuela, if you are invited to someone’s home for a meal, it’s suggested that you arrive 10 to 15 minutes later than the planned time.”可知,在委内瑞拉,被邀请到别人家吃饭时,建议比计划时间晚10到15分钟到达。因此,如果朋友邀请你在下午5点到家,那么合适的到达时间是5:13 p. m。故选D。
3. 细节理解题。根据第三栏“When doing business in Türkiye, it’s the custom for your host to pay for your meal. Request to split (平摊) the bill will be viewed as a polite way but won’t be accepted. If you would like to pay your share, Turks suggest inviting your host to a follow-up meal.”可知,在土耳其,主人支付账单是一种习俗。虽然提出平摊账单被视为一种礼貌的方式,但不会被接受。相反,土耳其人建议邀请主人参加下一顿饭来分担费用。因此,当一个人想在土耳其为你支付整餐的费用时,你应该邀请他再吃一顿饭。故选C。
4. 推理判断题。文章介绍了不同国家的文化和风俗习惯,如俄罗斯的花卉禁忌、委内瑞拉的守时观念以及土耳其的付款方式等。这些内容属于文化范畴,因此这篇文章很可能来自一本杂志的文化栏目。故选B。
Passage 2
Sometimes, using hand gestures can bring more information and be more convenient than using words, especially when you are speaking to someone with no language in common. But the same gesture can mean something offensive (冒犯的) to a person from a different cultural background.
“V” Shape
In many countries, if you have your index and middle fingers pointed up in the“V”shape, it stands for winning. However, when you make the sign, be sure to have the front of your palm facing outward instead of inward, because showing people the back of your hand is impolite in some countries like the UK and Australia.
Finger Snap (打响指)
Snapping your thumb and middle finger over and over again may mean one is trying to remind someone of something forgotten. While, in Latin America, snapping them means asking one to hurry up. But one thing you should remember is that, in many cultures, snapping fingers close to someone’s face is considered to be an offensive gesture.
Fingers Crossed
Crossing your index and middle fingers is regarded as a sign of wishing for good luck or fortune. At other times, people cross their fingers before telling a lie, as it is believed to counteract (抵消) the bad things coming from the lie. So it is both a positive and a negative symbol.
“ILY” Sign
This is always a nice hand gesture from American Sign Language. It combines the letters “I”“L” and “Y” to mean “I love you”. People use this gesture very often to show their love for their family, friends and all the other people they love.
1. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.Thumb and middle finger. B.Thumb and index finger.
C.Thumb and palm. D.Thumb and pinky finger.

B.To warn people to be careful when using a hand gesture.

B.Crossing fingers is always considered as a positive sign.
C.“ILY”sign is often used to wish for good luck or fortune.
D.Snapping fingers close to someone's face may be impolite.
【答案】1. A 2. B 3. B 4. D
【导语】本文是说明文,主要介绍了几种常见的手势及其在不同文化背景下的含义,提醒人们在使用手势时要注意文化差异。
1. 词句猜测题。根据文中“Snapping your thumb and middle finger over and over again may mean one is trying to remind someone of something forgotten.”可知,“them”指代的是前文提到的“thumb and middle finger”。故选A。
2. 细节理解题。根据文中“It combines the letters ‘I’‘L’ and ‘Y’ to mean ‘I love you’. People use this gesture very often to show their love for their family, friends and all the other people they love.”可知,人们常用“ILY”手势向家人、爱人表达爱意,符合母亲节向妈妈表达爱的场景。故选B。

【答案】例文
Dear Peter,
I’m very happy to hear that you’re coming to China this summer vacation. I hope to see you soon. Now let me tell you something about customs and manners in our country.
First, when meeting people in China, we usually shake hands and smile. It’s polite to greet others warmly and talk about general topics like the weather or travel plans. Next, for table manners, remember to use chopsticks correctly. Don’t stick them upright in your bowl. Also, avoid pointing at people with chopsticks. Wait until elderly people start eating before you begin. Finally, if you visit a Chinese family, take a small gift like fruit or tea to show respect. Always knock before entering, and it’s customary to remove your shoes unless the host says otherwise.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
Welcome to China. I hope you’ll have a wonderful time in our country.
Yours,
Teng Fei
