Today,zero is a common number.But few
56789
of us know zero has an unusual history.
Arabic numbers
At first,there were only the numbers one
to nine.Zero was first shown in India about 2,000 years ago.
Then,thanks to global trade(全球贸易),zero was brought out
of India.It became an Arabic number.During the 13th century,
Arabic numbers were introduced into the West.However,
Westerners would like to use Roman numbers (I,V,X...).
Arabic numbers were not popular,especially zero.
Because there was no zero in Roman numbers,bad traders
could easily turn a“o”into a“6”ora“g”.Therefore,.some
people believed zero would cause trouble.Also,many Roman
people thought zero was an unlucky number,because it was
close to numbers like-1,-2...
2+2*2二6
It was not until the 15th century that
3人3-3=6
zero was fully accepted.Traders played an
calculations
important role.Just think about doing
calculations by using Roman numbers.You
can hardly do any trade,can you?
Today,zero won't be known as an unlucky number any
more.Instead,people believe that zero shows the beauty of
maths and shapes the modern world in many ways.

You may have heard of the famous saying,"East or West,
home is the best..”What does the word“home”mean to you?
How do you say the word in French,in Chinese or in your
language?Although people usually know what the word
means,it sometimes has no exact translation )It's not
surprising,because the idea of home is different from country
to country,and from person to person.A home is more than a
roof and four walls.It's the cooking,eating,talking,playing
and sleeping that go on inside.And at home you usually feel
safe and relaxed.
Homes look different in different countries.They also have
different things inside.For example,in cold northern Europe,
there's a stove in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs
face it.In the south,where the sun shines a lot and it's more
important to keep the heat out,there are small windows and
cool stone floors.
We asked some people about their homes.
How often do people move house in your country?
"In my country,many people don't stay in one place for a
very long time.They often move every ten years or so.
-Cherry,Boston,USA
What are features of homes in your country?
"In Britain,even in town,there's always a garden.We
have separate bedrooms and living rooms.But we don't often
have balconies.The weather isn't warm enough!"
-Pat,Exeter,England
()51.Why does the writer say the word "home"sometimes
has no exact translation?
A.It has different meanings in different countries.
B.Many people sometimes don't know the word.
C.It has many meanings in different dictionaries.
()52.Why do people in the south build small windows?
A.To keep warm.
B.To keep the heat out.
C.To collect the sunshine.
()53.What can we know about people in his country from
Cherry's words?
A.They get used to staying in one place.
B.They like to buy new houses with balconies.
C.They often move house several times in their
lives.

parents.In other situations,pouring tea for someone can be a

way to say sorry.
In the UK,afternoon tea is the most famous tea tradition.It
started in the 1840s.It usually happens at around 4 p.m.,but it can
be a little earlier or later.It is a time for conversation and relaxation,
when people take a break from their day.Traditionally,afternoon tea
is taken with cakes and sandwiches.
In the UK,high tea is another tradition.In the past,high
tea was for working-class families that could not pay for a
proper dinner.It happens a little later than afternoon tea and is
served with a hot meal,including meat,home-made bread,
vegetables...

Have you ever been to Japan?Everyone says Japan's
culture is different from that of other parts of the world,but I
didn't believe it.71.
However,on my first day in Tokyo,I knew everything I
heard about Japan was true.I remember arriving at the airport
in Tokyo and having to take the train into the city.I wasn't sure
how and where to take the train,so I walked up to a man in
uniform and asked,"72.
To my surprise,he could not speak English.73.
When he saw my confused face,he smiled and bowed.I felt
very strange at the time.How could people in such a modern
country not speak English?
Finally,I found someone who helped me buy a ticket for a
train.When I went over to the timetable,I found out the train
wouldn't arrive in 5 minutes.In my head,5 minutes was like at
least 10 minutes.74.
Are trains always on time in
your country?When I got on the train,I found nobody talked.
75.
Later I knew it is rude to talk on the train in
Japan.
A.Sir,where can I take the train?
B.I decided to find out for myself.
C.He spoke something quickly in Japanese.
D.But little did I know that in exactly 5 minutes the train
arrived.
E.There was just the sound of the train travelling at high
speed.

An American friend has invited you to visit his family.
You've never been to an American's home before,and you're
not sure what to do.Should you take a gift?What should you
wear?When should you arrive?Glad you asked.When you're
the guest,you should just make yourself at home.
The question of whether or not to bring a gift often
troubles guests.In American culture,a guest is not obligated
(to bring a present.Of course,some people do bring
some small gifts to their hosts.Proper gifts generally might be
flowers,candy or-if the family has small children-toys.If
you choose not to bring a gift,don't worry.No one will even
notice that.
For most informal dinners,you should wear everyday clothes
Plan to arrive on time,or call to tell your hosts about the delay(
)During the dinner conversation,it's customary to compliment
(the hosts about the wonderful meal.Of course,the
biggest compliment is to eat lots of food!When you've had
plenty,you might offer to clear the table or wash the dishes
But since you're the guest,your hosts may not let you do that.
Instead,they may invite you to move to the living room for
dessert with tea or coffee.After an hour or so of general
talking,it's probably time to head for the door.
Americans usually like to have advance notice(提前通知)
when people come to see them.Only very close friends drop by
without any notice.This is especially true if the guests want to
stay for a few days.Even relatives don't usually stay for several
weeks at a time.Here's some good advice for house guests:
Short stays are the best.While you're staying with an American
family,try to keep your space clean and tidy.Your host family
will be thankful for your consideration.And they may even
invite you back!

B.任务型阅读根据短文内容,按要求回答问题。(共5小题,每
小题2分,计10分)
If you spend some time in an English-speaking country,
you might hear the term"etiquette".It means normal and social
behaviour.This may seem like a difficult word at first,but it
can be very useful to understand.
Etiquette is not the same in every culture or in every
situation.For example,standing very close to the person you
are talking with is quite common in some Asian countries.
However,if you do this in Europe,some people might feel
uncomfortable.Even in China,we all know that etiquette is not
the same in all situations.Perhaps we think that talking loudly
in our own homes is fine,but there are other places where
talking loudly is not allowed.For example,most people would
agree that talking loudly in a library,a museum or a movie
theatre is impolite.Even if you are with your friends,it is
better to keep your voice down in public places.
If we see someone breaking the rules of etiquette,we may
politely give them some suggestions.One of the most polite
ways is to ask someone,"Would you mind doing this?"or
"Would you mind not doing that?"People don't usually like to
be criticized,so we have to be careful how we do this.
36
Although rules of etiquette can often be different,some
rules are the same almost everywhere in the world!For
example,dropping litter is almost never allowed.If you see
someone you know doing this,you can ask him,"Would you
mind picking it up?”
81.What does the underlined word "etiquette"probably mean?
82.What's the key sentence of Paragraph 2?
83.If your friend talks loudly in the library,what would you
say to him/her?
学
84.In which countries can people stand close to the person they
are talking with?
85.What's the writer's idea of Etiquette?
