I’m from Egypt. Last year, I had the chance to study in Canada for six months. It was my first time 11 a Western country, and I learned many valuable lessons about cultural differences. Before I left, my mother gave me some 12 : “Always be polite and respect others, even if things seem strange to you.” I kept her words in my heart. When I arrived in Toronto, everything felt so 13 . The weather was much colder than Cairo. People dressed differently and spoke English so fast. At first, I felt 14 and missed my family terribly. The biggest challenge was the 15 . In Egypt, we eat with our hands or use bread to pick up food. Using a knife and fork was very difficult for me. I made a mess several times and felt 16 . But my host family was very patient. They encouraged me and even 17 me how to use them properly. Another interesting thing was 18 . In Canada, people often say “sorry” and “thank you” many times a day. They also hold doors open for strangers. In Egypt, we are also polite, but in different ways. I learned that 19 cultures have different ways of showing respect. By the end of my stay, I felt much more comfortable. I made good friends and even learned to love poutine, a Canadian dish! This experience taught me that although we come from different 20 , we share the same human feelings. I hope to visit more countries in the future. 11．A．visiting B．leaving C．missing D．building 12．A．stories B．questions C．advice D．problems 13．A．wonderful B．familiar C．strange D．exciting 14．A．happy B．excited C．lonely D．relaxed 15．A．language B．transportation C．weather D．food 16．A．proud B．embarrassed C．confident D．surprised 17．A．asked B．told C．taught D．showed 18．A．politeness B．rudeness C．sadness D．happiness 19．A．similar B．different C．same D．easy 20．A．countries B．cities C．schools D．families 【答案】 11．A 12．C 13．C 14．C 15．D 16．B 17．C 18．A 19．B 20．A 【导语】本文讲述埃及男孩Ahmed去加拿大留学半年的经历，亲身感受文化差异，在生活、饮食、礼仪上慢慢适应，懂得了虽然来自不同国家，但人类的情感是相通的。 11．句意：这是我第一次访问西方国家。 根据前文“study in Canada”可知，是第一次来到西方国家，应选用visiting。 12．句意：临走前，妈妈给了我一些建议。 根据后文引号里叮嘱的话语，可知是给建议，应选用advice。 13．句意：当我到达多伦多，一切都感觉很陌生。 根据后文天气、穿着、语言都和家乡不一样，可知感觉陌生，应选用strange。 14．句意：起初，我感到孤独，非常想念家人。 根据后文“missed my family terribly”想家，可知内心孤独，应选用lonely。 15．句意：最大的挑战是饮食。 根据后文讲埃及和加拿大吃饭方式不同、刀叉使用困难，可知是食物餐饮方面，应选用food。 16．句意：我好几次弄得一团糟，感到尴尬。 根据前文吃饭用不好刀叉、弄得很乱，可知感到尴尬难为情，应选用embarrassed。 17．句意：寄宿家庭很有耐心，鼓励我，还教我如何正确使用刀叉。 根据语境，家人示范并教他使用餐具，应选用taught。 18．句意：另一件有趣的事是礼貌礼仪。 根据后文频繁说对不起、谢谢、为陌生人开门，都是礼貌行为，应选用politeness。 19．句意：我了解到不同的文化有不同表达尊重的方式。 根据全文讲埃及和加拿大文化差异，应选用different。 20．句意：这次经历让我明白，虽然我们来自不同国家，却有着相同的人类情感。 根据文中内容，此处表示埃及、加拿大两个国家，应选用countries。 二、阅读理解 A My name is Mei Ling. I’m from Singapore, a multicultural country where different cultures live together. Last summer, I visited my cousin in a small town in the United States. It was an eye-opening experience. Before my trip, I thought I knew a lot about American culture from movies and TV shows. But I soon discovered that real life is quite different. In Singapore, we are very careful about saving face. We avoid saying “no” directly because we don’t want to embarrass others. In America, people are much more direct. They say what they think openly. One afternoon, my cousin’s friend asked if I liked the hamburger she made. Honestly, I found it too salty. But instead of saying “no,” I said, “It’s very interesting!” She looked confused and asked, “Do you like it or not?” I felt embarrassed. Later, my cousin explained that Americans prefer honest answers. They don’t see honesty as rude. Another difference was personal space. In Singapore, we often stand close when talking. But in America, people keep more distance. The first time I talked to my cousin’s neighbor, I stepped closer, and she stepped back. I felt hurt, thinking she didn’t like me. Later, I learned about personal space zones in American culture. By the end of my visit, I understood these differences better. I learned to be more direct when answering questions and to respect personal space. My cousin also learned about Singaporean customs from me. We both grew from this experience. Now I believe that cultural differences are not problems—they are opportunities to learn. When we understand each other’s cultures, we build bridges of friendship. 21．Where is Mei Ling from? A．The United States. B．Singapore. C．China. D．The UK. 22．What does the underlined word “embarrass” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．使尴尬 B．使高兴 C．使惊讶 D．使放松 23．Why did Mei Ling feel hurt when talking to her cousin’s neighbor? A．Because the neighbor was rude. B．Because she didn’t understand personal space differences. C．Because the neighbor didn’t like her. D．Because she couldn’t speak English well. 24．What did Mei Ling learn from her experience? A．American culture is better than Singaporean culture. B．She should never visit America again. C．Cultural differences can help us learn and grow. D．It’s better to stay in your own country. 25．Which word best describes Mei Ling’s attitude toward cultural differences? A．Negative. B．Positive. C．Indifferent. D．Confused. 【答案】21．B 22．A 23．B 24．C 25．B 【导语】梅玲来自新加坡，在美国小镇探亲时，亲身感受了新加坡与美国在说话方式、个人空间上的文化差异，并从中学会理解、尊重不同文化。 21．第一段“My name is Mei Ling. I’m from Singapore”，直接点明来自新加坡。 22．文中“We avoid saying ‘no’ directly because we don’t want to embarrass others.”，新加坡人不直接拒绝，是不想让别人尴尬。 23．第四段梅玲习惯性站得近，对方往后退，她误以为对方不喜欢自己，其实是不懂个人空间的文化差异。 24．最后一段“cultural differences are not problems—they are opportunities to learn”，说明文化差异能帮助我们学习和成长。 25．她认为文化差异是学习的机会、能搭建友谊桥梁，态度是积极的。 B In the United States, people like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind to them. People of many other countries do so, too. It is a very good habit. You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you something on the table, when someone opens the door for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives. “Excuse me” is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone say so behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk past you without touching you. It’s not polite to interrupt (打断) others when they are talking. If you want to speak to one of them, say “Excuse me” first, and then begin talking. You should also do so when you want to cough or make any unpleasant noise before others. Let’s all learn to say “Thank you” and “Excuse me”. 26．People say “Thank you” ________. A．only in the United States B．all over the world C．in many countries D．only between friends 27．People usually say “Thank you” when ________. A．someone opens the door for them B．someone makes them unhappy C．someone wants to walk past them D．someone interrupts them 28．From the passage we know “Thank you” is . A．widely used in the world B．used more often than “Excuse me” C．used only by Americans D．used only between parents and children 29．When you want to cough before others, you should say “________” first. A．I’m sorry B．Thank you C．Excuse me D．I’m happy 30．It’s polite to ________ when someone is talking. A．interrupt others B．say “Thank you” C．say “Excuse me” D．not interrupt others 【答案】26．C 27．A 28．A 29．C 30．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍英语礼貌用语“Thank you”和“Excuse me”的使用场合，强调它们是日常生活中的好习惯。 26．文章第一段提到：“In the United States, people like to say ‘Thank you’... People of many other countries do so, too.”，说明“Thank you”不仅在美国使用，很多国家的人也会用。选项“all over the world”范围过大，原文只提到“许多国家”。 27．文章第二段第一句：“You should say ‘Thank you’ when someone passes you something on the table, when someone opens the door for you...”，当有人把桌子上的东西递给你时，当有人为你开门时，你应该说“谢谢”。其他三个选项：让别人不开心、想从身边走过、打断别人，都不是说“Thank you”的场合。 28．文章第一段说明美国及许多其他国家的人都用“Thank you”；第二段说明它不仅用于朋友之间，也用于父母与孩子、兄弟姐妹、夫妻之间。因此它是“在世界上广泛使用”。其他选项（只被美国人使用、只用于父母与孩子之间）与原文明显不符；文中未比较“Thank you”和“Excuse me”的使用频率。 29．文章第三段最后一句：“You should also do so when you want to cough or make any unpleasant noise before others.”，当你想在别人面前咳嗽或发出任何令人不快的声音时，你也应该这样做，这里的“do so”指代前面的“say ‘Excuse me’”。 30．文章第三段第二句：“It’s not polite to interrupt (打断) others when they are talking.”，所以礼貌的做法是“不打断别人”。其他选项中，“说‘谢谢’”或“说‘打扰了’”与“当别人正在说话时”这个条件不直接对应，而本题强调的是“礼貌的做法”是什么。 C When it rains heavily, we can say, “It’s raining cats and dogs.” Well, on 29 December, 2021, the people in Texarkana, the US were experiencing the animal rain. It was raining fish. On that day, a storm hit the place. The storm left a lot of small fish on the ground. “Fish falling from the sky is an example of the animal rain,” explained the city experts. “Although it’s not common, it can happen in certain weather if the fish are light enough.” In fact, there have been similar reports of such strange weather throughout history. In 2017, people in California saw fish fall from the clouds over a primary school. In 1921, frogs fell from the sky over a city in Canada. Fish have also fallen from the sky at least three times in the last 30 years in Lajamanu, Australia. Of course, the animals were not in the sky before it started raining but powerful waterspouts(水龙卷) swept them up. Waterspouts are tornadoes that form or travel over open water. The fast wind inside them lifts water up into the clouds. At the same time, some light fish or frogs are lifted up too. The wind carries the animals and water over the land. When the energy of the wind starts to fall, so do the animals and water. As a result, it “rains” animals. 31．When did the storm hit Texarkana, the US? A．In 1923. B．In 2017. C．In 2019. D．In 2021. 32．What can we know from Paragraph 2? A．It is common for people to experience a storm. B．Fish falling may happen once in a while. C．Some frogs are light enough to fall down. D．There are many light fish in the sky. 33．Which of the following may have the similar meaning as the underlined word “throughout”? A．Behind. B．During. C．With. D．Without. 34．Which is the right order of the events in the animal rain? ①The animal rain falls as the energy of the wind falls. ②Powerful waterspouts sweep some animals up. ③The strong wind lifts water and animals up into the sky. ④The wind carries the animals and water over the land. A．①②③④ B．②①④③ C．②③④① D．③②④① 35．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A．Strange “Winds” B．Strange “Clouds” C．Strange “Animals” D．Strange “Rain” 【答案】31．D 32．B 33．B 34．C 35．D 【导语】本文主要介绍了‍“动物雨”这一奇特自然现象，即鱼、青蛙等小动物从天而降的现象。 31．根据文章第一段“Well, on 29 December, 2021, the people in Texarkana, the US were experiencing the animal rain.”可知，风暴发生在2021年。 32．第二段提到“Although it’s not common, it can happen in certain weather if the fish are light enough.”这说明鱼从天而降虽然不常见，但在特定天气下可能发生，即“偶尔发生”。 33．throughout在文中throughout history表示“贯穿历史”，也就是在整个历史期间。Behind表示“在……后面”；With表示“和……一起”；Without表示“没有”，均不符合“贯穿历史”的意思。During表示“在……期间”，与throughout意思相近。 34．文章中提到“Of course, the animals were not in the sky before it started raining but powerful waterspouts swept them up”，即强大的水龙卷把动物卷起来，这是第一步，所以②在前；接着“The fast wind inside them lifts water up into the clouds. At the same time some light fish or frogs are lifted up too”，强风把水和动物带到天空，这是第二步，所以③其次；然后“The wind carries the animals and water over the land”，风把动物和水带到陆地上，这是第三步，所以④接着；最后“When the energy of the wind starts to fall, so do the animals and water. As a result, it rains’ animals”，当风的能量下降时，动物和水落下，形成动物雨，这是第四步，所以①最后，因此顺序是②③④①。 35．文章主要讲述了美国特克萨卡纳等地出现鱼从天上掉下来的动物雨现象，以及动物雨形成的原因。Strange “Rain”准确概括了文章的核心内容。 D On March 15, a serious wildfire suddenly swept across a large wild forest in Yajiang County, Sichuan Province. Luckily, no people lost their lives in this terrible accident. Wildfires are really dangerous natural disasters. They can spread very quickly and burn large areas of green trees and dry grass in a short time, bringing great harm to the natural environment. ① Wildfires happen very often in spring in China In 2023, there were 328 wildfires across our country. 147 of them broke out in March and April, making up almost half of the whole year’s wildfires. These fires not only damaged forests but also brought trouble to the lives of local people ②________ There is little rainfall in many places, especially in Southwest China, so the air and plants become very dry. Dry plants turn easy to catch fire when they start to grow and come back to life after winter. Besides, strong winds are quite usual in spring. They make wildfires spread much faster and more widely in the open air, making it harder to put out the fire. ③ Useful ways to protect yourself from wildfires When you meet wildfires, stay calm first. It helps you make right and wise decisions and avoid making mistakes. Always stay upwind of the fire to keep away from the smoke and flames. Move to safe places at once if the wind turns dangerous. If you are surrounded by fire, cover your body with wet clothes or a wet quilt and find places with water, like rivers or pools. Wide empty roads can also keep you away from the fire safely until help arrives. 36．What percent of wildfires in China happened in March and April in 2023? A．Almost 20%. B．Almost 50%. C．Almost 80%. D．Almost 90%. 37．Which of the following can be put in “________”. A．Plants survive in spring wildfires B．Terrible weather in Spring. C．Main reasons for spring wildfires D．Different ways to put out wildfires 38．Which of the following may cause spring wildfires? ①little rainfall and dry plants    ②strong winds in spring    ③dry air after winter  ④cutting down trees A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 39．Which of the following pictures shows the right way to protect yourself from wildfires? A． B． C． D． 40．What is the main idea of this passage? A．To ask people to plant more trees. B．To introduce spring wildfires and ways to keep safe. C．To tell a story about a wildfire in Sichuan. D．To tell us how terrible the environment is. 【答案】36．B 37．C 38．A 39．D 40．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。介绍了春季森林火灾的发生情况、主要原因以及火灾中的自我保护方法。 36．文章第二段“In 2023, there were 328 wildfires across our country. 147 of them broke out in March and April, making up almost half of the whole year’s wildfires.”指出，2023年3月和4月发生的森林火灾几乎占全年的50%。 37．文章第三段主要分析了春季山火频发的原因，包括降雨少、空气干燥、植物干枯以及春季风大等，因此小标题应为“春季山火的主要原因”。 38．文章第三段“There is little rainfall in many places…so the air and plants become very dry. Dry plants turn easy to catch fire…Besides, strong winds are quite usual in spring.”指出，少雨干燥、植物干燥、春季大风是引发火灾的原因。 39．文章第四段“If you are surrounded by fire, cover your body with wet clothes or a wet quilt”指出，如果你被火包围，用湿衣服或湿被子盖住你的身体。 40．全文介绍了春季山火的频发情况和原因，并给出了自我保护的方法，因此主旨是“介绍春季山火及安全防护方法”。 三、阅读还原 阅读短文，根据短文内容从下面方框内的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。 根据短文内容，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A When a natural disaster happens, knowing what to do can save your life. Here are some important safety tips for different situations. ◆ During an earthquake: If you are indoors, remember to drop, cover, and hold on. Get under a strong table or desk. 41 If you are outdoors, move to an open area away from buildings, trees, and power lines. ◆ During a flood: Move to higher ground immediately. 42 If you are in a car and water starts to rise, get out and move to higher ground. Never try to walk or drive through floodwater—it might be deeper or faster than it looks. ◆ During a typhoon: Stay inside and keep away from windows. 43 If the wind becomes very strong, move to a small room without windows, like a bathroom. Listen to the radio for news and instructions. ◆ During a lightning storm: Avoid open fields and hilltops. 44 If you are in a forest, stay near lower trees. If you are with a group, spread out to reduce the risk of multiple injuries. ◆ After a disaster: Be careful of dangers like fallen power lines or broken glass. 45 Help others if you can, but don’t put yourself in danger. Wait for instructions from officials before returning home. A．Do not stay in a car during a flood. B．Always play outside during a storm. C．Stay away from water, tall or isolated trees, and metal objects. D．Close all windows and doors to protect your home. E．Check yourself and others for injuries. F．Protect your head and neck with your arms. G．Go to the beach to watch the storm. 【答案】41．F 42．A 43．D 44．C 45．E 【导语】本文介绍了地震、洪水、台风、雷雨灾害发生时以及灾后对应的安全自救避险小贴士。 41．前文提到“Get under a strong table or desk.”，同时根据地震避险常识，遭遇地震时，我们要趴下、遮挡、抓紧，同时用手臂护住头颈。选项F符合应急知识。 42．根据后文“If you are in a car and water starts to rise, get out and move to higher ground.”如果你在车里水位上涨，立刻下车去高处。对应逻辑，洪水时不要待在车内。 43．应对台风正确做法是待在室内，远离窗户，并关好门窗。前文已经提到“Stay inside and keep away from windows.”，后文则应说明关闭好门窗。 44．根据雷雨常识，闪电易击中树木、水、金属，所以要远离这些东西。 45．灾后第一步为检查自己和他人有无受伤。同时根据后文“Help others if you can”，我们需要先检查他人是否需要帮助，才能去帮助他人。 B In Western соuntries, уou should be саrеful whеn giving gifts.

A small but delicate gift is a good choice.”可知，本段强调礼物要适度，不要太贵重。选项A“Be modest with your gift.”送礼要适度。概括了本段主旨。 48．前文提到要确保礼物不会太引人注目，后文提到送礼物时可以说“希望你喜欢”。此处需补充一个关于不给主人添麻烦的句子。选项E“You should not add another matter to the host.”你不应该给主人添麻烦。符合语境。 49．本段主要讨论送酒的注意事项：葡萄酒通常可以，但烈酒需谨慎。选项C“Be careful of giving alcohol.”送酒要小心。直接概括本段内容。 50．前文说送小文化礼物很合适，后文提到“A nice card with it will be better.”，此处应提到礼物的包装。选项D“Make sure that your gift is packaged nicely.”确保你的礼物包装精美。符合逻辑，并且与卡片相呼应。 四、阅读回答问题 A How to Communicate Well in Cross-Cultural Situations When we communicate with people from different countries, it’s important to know how to do it well. Here are some useful suggestions to help you have better cross-cultural communication. Learning about the basic customs of the country before you meet people from there is a good start. For example, if you are going to meet someone from Japan, you should know that bowing is a common way to show respect. This can help you avoid making mistakes and leave a good impression. Being polite and patient when talking with others also matters. If you don’t understand what they say, don’t interrupt them. Instead, ask them to repeat or explain slowly. It’s also important to listen carefully and show your interest in their words. Avoiding using gestures that may be impolite in their culture is necessary too. Some gestures that are acceptable in your country may have a bad meaning in another country. For example, pointing at someone with your finger is not polite in many countries.

The city suffered record-breaking heat, with the highest temperature above 40℃ for weeks. Because of the hot and dry weather, large forest fires swept through many parts of the city. Firefighters worked hard to put out the fires, but they were not the only heroes. In Beibei District, a large number of motorcyclists (摩托车手) played an important role in fire control. Li Xin is the owner of a motorcycle club in Beibei District. He organized a team of 15 club members as volunteers. They transported supplies for the firefighters in Xiema Town, the centre of the local fires. “It is my honour and duty to guard my hometown,” he said. The team members took turns using nine motorcycles to carry food, water and whatever firefighters needed. They also helped transport firefighters to certain places. There were hundreds of motorcyclists like Li. Most of them were in their twenties. They rode on the poor mountain roads and carried a large basket full of supplies on their back. Some fell and got hurt even though they had the best motorcycle skills. Some got heatstroke (中暑) after working long hours. They didn’t have much time for sleep, but they were in high spirits at all times. Besides riding on the difficult roads, these motorcyclists also helped cut wood and put out fires. They stayed and helped till the fires were finally put out. Without them the fires couldn’t be put out so quickly. 56．What problem did the 2022 summer heat cause in Chongqing? 57．What did Li Xin and his team do to help with fire control? 58．What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about? 59．What advantages (优势) did motorcyclists have in controlling the forest fires in Chongqing? 60．What can we learn from the young motorcyclists? 【答案】56．It caused many large forest fires. 57．They transported supplies and firefighters. 58．The hard work of the motorcyclists. 59．They had good motorcycle skills, so they could ride on the poor mountain roads. 60．We young people should join in protecting our community when disasters come. (言之有理即可) 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了2022年8月重庆因持续高温干旱引发森林火灾，消防员与众多年轻摩托车手齐心协力参与灭火的故事。 56．第一段明确提到“Because of the hot and dry weather, large forest fires swept through many parts of the city.”，这说明高温干旱引发的直接问题是森林火灾。 57．第三段和第四段分别提到他们“transported supplies for the firefighters”以及“helped transport firefighters to certain places”，这说明李新和他的团队为消防队员运送物资，还帮助运送消防队员到某些地方。 58．第五段描述了摩托车手们走山路、背物资、摔倒受伤、中暑、缺少睡眠但精神饱满，这些都是他们遇到的困难与付出的努力。 59． 从第五段中“They rode on the poor mountain roads”和第六段中“Besides riding on the difficult roads”可以看出，摩托车能走山路、到达其他车辆无法到达的地方，这是他们的主要优势。 60．全文体现了摩托车手们勇敢、有责任感、团队合作、无私奉献的精神。答案不唯一，言之有理即可。参考答案为We young people should join in protecting our community when disasters come. 1 / 5 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 专题03 Units 5~6（语篇综合练） （建议用时：40分钟） 完形填空A 人与社会：主要讲述了作者开车去学校接女儿的途中遭遇地震的经历。 完型填空B 人与社会：讲述埃及男孩Ahmed去加拿大留学半年的经历，亲身感受文化差异，在生活、饮食、礼仪上慢慢适应，懂得了虽然来自不同国家，但人类的情感是相通的。 阅读A 人与社会：主要讲了梅玲来自新加坡，在美国小镇探亲时，亲身感受了新加坡与美国在说话方式、个人空间上的文化差异，并从中学会理解、尊重不同文化。 阅读B 人与社会：主要介绍英语礼貌用语“Thank you”和“Excuse me”的使用场合，强调它们是日常生活中的好习惯。 阅读C 动物与自然：主要介绍了‍“动物雨”这一奇特自然现象，即鱼、青蛙等小动物从天而降的现象。 阅读D 人与自然：介绍了春季森林火灾的发生情况、主要原因以及火灾中的自我保护方法。 阅读还原A 人与自然：介绍了地震、洪水、台风、雷雨灾害发生时以及灾后对应的安全自救避险小贴士。 阅读还原B 人与社会：主要介绍了在西方国家送礼物时需要注意的礼仪规则。 任务型阅读A 人与社会：介绍一些跨文化交际的技巧。 任务型阅读B 人与社会：讲述了2022年8月重庆因持续高温干旱引发森林火灾，消防员与众多年轻摩托车手齐心协力参与灭火的故事。 一、完形填空 阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项A、B、C、D中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项.

I’m from Singapore, a multicultural country where different cultures live together. Last summer, I visited my cousin in a small town in the United States. It was an eye-opening experience. Before my trip, I thought I knew a lot about American culture from movies and TV shows. But I soon discovered that real life is quite different. In Singapore, we are very careful about saving face. We avoid saying “no” directly because we don’t want to embarrass others. In America, people are much more direct. They say what they think openly. One afternoon, my cousin’s friend asked if I liked the hamburger she made. Honestly, I found it too salty. But instead of saying “no,” I said, “It’s very interesting!” She looked confused and asked, “Do you like it or not?” I felt embarrassed. Later, my cousin explained that Americans prefer honest answers. They don’t see honesty as rude. Another difference was personal space. In Singapore, we often stand close when talking. But in America, people keep more distance. The first time I talked to my cousin’s neighbor, I stepped closer, and she stepped back. I felt hurt, thinking she didn’t like me. Later, I learned about personal space zones in American culture. By the end of my visit, I understood these differences better. I learned to be more direct when answering questions and to respect personal space. My cousin also learned about Singaporean customs from me. We both grew from this experience. Now I believe that cultural differences are not problems—they are opportunities to learn. When we understand each other’s cultures, we build bridges of friendship. 21．Where is Mei Ling from? A．The United States. B．Singapore. C．China. D．The UK. 22．What does the underlined word “embarrass” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．使尴尬 B．使高兴 C．使惊讶 D．使放松 23．Why did Mei Ling feel hurt when talking to her cousin’s neighbor? A．Because the neighbor was rude. B．Because she didn’t understand personal space differences. C．Because the neighbor didn’t like her. D．Because she couldn’t speak English well. 24．What did Mei Ling learn from her experience? A．American culture is better than Singaporean culture. B．She should never visit America again. C．Cultural differences can help us learn and grow. D．It’s better to stay in your own country. 25．Which word best describes Mei Ling’s attitude toward cultural differences? A．Negative. B．Positive. C．Indifferent. D．Confused. B In the United States, people like to say “Thank you” when others help them or say something kind to them. People of many other countries do so, too. It is a very good habit. You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you something on the table, when someone opens the door for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing, or your city is very beautiful. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives. “Excuse me” is another short sentence they use. When you hear someone say so behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk past you without touching you. It’s not polite to interrupt (打断) others when they are talking. If you want to speak to one of them, say “Excuse me” first, and then begin talking. You should also do so when you want to cough or make any unpleasant noise before others. Let’s all learn to say “Thank you” and “Excuse me”. 26．People say “Thank you” ________. A．only in the United States B．all over the world C．in many countries D．only between friends 27．People usually say “Thank you” when ________. A．someone opens the door for them B．someone makes them unhappy C．someone wants to walk past them D．someone interrupts them 28．From the passage we know “Thank you” is . A．widely used in the world B．used more often than “Excuse me” C．used only by Americans D．used only between parents and children 29．When you want to cough before others, you should say “________” first. A．I’m sorry B．Thank you C．Excuse me D．I’m happy 30．It’s polite to ________ when someone is talking. A．interrupt others B．say “Thank you” C．say “Excuse me” D．not interrupt others C When it rains heavily, we can say, “It’s raining cats and dogs.” Well, on 29 December, 2021, the people in Texarkana, the US were experiencing the animal rain. It was raining fish. On that day, a storm hit the place. The storm left a lot of small fish on the ground. “Fish falling from the sky is an example of the animal rain,” explained the city experts. “Although it’s not common, it can happen in certain weather if the fish are light enough.” In fact, there have been similar reports of such strange weather throughout history. In 2017, people in California saw fish fall from the clouds over a primary school. In 1921, frogs fell from the sky over a city in Canada. Fish have also fallen from the sky at least three times in the last 30 years in Lajamanu, Australia. Of course, the animals were not in the sky before it started raining but powerful waterspouts(水龙卷) swept them up. Waterspouts are tornadoes that form or travel over open water. The fast wind inside them lifts water up into the clouds. At the same time, some light fish or frogs are lifted up too. The wind carries the animals and water over the land. When the energy of the wind starts to fall, so do the animals and water. As a result, it “rains” animals. 31．When did the storm hit Texarkana, the US? A．In 1923. B．In 2017. C．In 2019. D．In 2021. 32．What can we know from Paragraph 2? A．It is common for people to experience a storm. B．Fish falling may happen once in a while. C．Some frogs are light enough to fall down. D．There are many light fish in the sky. 33．Which of the following may have the similar meaning as the underlined word “throughout”? A．Behind. B．During. C．With. D．Without. 34．Which is the right order of the events in the animal rain? ①The animal rain falls as the energy of the wind falls. ②Powerful waterspouts sweep some animals up. ③The strong wind lifts water and animals up into the sky. ④The wind carries the animals and water over the land. A．①②③④ B．②①④③ C．②③④① D．③②④① 35．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A．Strange “Winds” B．Strange “Clouds” C．Strange “Animals” D．Strange “Rain” D On March 15, a serious wildfire suddenly swept across a large wild forest in Yajiang County, Sichuan Province. Luckily, no people lost their lives in this terrible accident. Wildfires are really dangerous natural disasters. They can spread very quickly and burn large areas of green trees and dry grass in a short time, bringing great harm to the natural environment. ① Wildfires happen very often in spring in China In 2023, there were 328 wildfires across our country. 147 of them broke out in March and April, making up almost half of the whole year’s wildfires. These fires not only damaged forests but also brought trouble to the lives of local people ②________ There is little rainfall in many places, especially in Southwest China, so the air and plants become very dry. Dry plants turn easy to catch fire when they start to grow and come back to life after winter. Besides, strong winds are quite usual in spring. They make wildfires spread much faster and more widely in the open air, making it harder to put out the fire. ③ Useful ways to protect yourself from wildfires When you meet wildfires, stay calm first. It helps you make right and wise decisions and avoid making mistakes. Always stay upwind of the fire to keep away from the smoke and flames. Move to safe places at once if the wind turns dangerous. If you are surrounded by fire, cover your body with wet clothes or a wet quilt and find places with water, like rivers or pools. Wide empty roads can also keep you away from the fire safely until help arrives. 36．What percent of wildfires in China happened in March and April in 2023? A．Almost 20%. B．Almost 50%. C．Almost 80%. D．Almost 90%. 37．Which of the following can be put in “________”. A．Plants survive in spring wildfires B．Terrible weather in Spring. C．Main reasons for spring wildfires D．Different ways to put out wildfires 38．Which of the following may cause spring wildfires? ①little rainfall and dry plants    ②strong winds in spring    ③dry air after winter  ④cutting down trees A．①②③ B．①②④ C．①③④ D．②③④ 39．Which of the following pictures shows the right way to protect yourself from wildfires? A． B． C． D． 40．What is the main idea of this passage? A．To ask people to plant more trees. B．To introduce spring wildfires and ways to keep safe. C．To tell a story about a wildfire in Sichuan. D．To tell us how terrible the environment is. 三、阅读还原 阅读短文，根据短文内容从下面方框内的七个选项中选择五个还原到文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。 根据短文内容，从短文后所给的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A When a natural disaster happens, knowing what to do can save your life.

Here are some useful suggestions to help you have better cross-cultural communication. Learning about the basic customs of the country before you meet people from there is a good start. For example, if you are going to meet someone from Japan, you should know that bowing is a common way to show respect. This can help you avoid making mistakes and leave a good impression. Being polite and patient when talking with others also matters. If you don’t understand what they say, don’t interrupt them. Instead, ask them to repeat or explain slowly. It’s also important to listen carefully and show your interest in their words. Avoiding using gestures that may be impolite in their culture is necessary too. Some gestures that are acceptable in your country may have a bad meaning in another country. For example, pointing at someone with your finger is not polite in many countries. Besides, be open-minded and respect their differences. Don’t judge their customs or habits with your own standards. Every culture is valuable, and we should learn to accept and respect them. If you make a mistake, don’t be afraid to apologize. It can show your sincerity and help you build a good relationship with them. Following these suggestions can help you communicate better with people from different cultures and make more friends around the world. 51．What should we do before meeting people from other countries? 52．What should we do if we don’t understand what others say?   53．Why should we avoid using some gestures in cross-cultural communication? 54．What should we do if we make a mistake in cross-cultural communication?   55．What’s your own suggestion for cross-cultural communication?
