They are sharing their breath with their guests. How do people greet visitors? In most countries, people shake hands when they meet. However, the world is made up of many different cultures. Other cultures have special customs. Read on to find out! 21．How many ways of greeting are there in the passage? A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six. 22．Which country greets people by touching noses? A．France. B．Brazil. C．Thailand. D．New Zealand. 23．Which part of the newspaper is the passage taken from? A．Science. B．Culture. C．Travel. D．Business. 【答案】21．C 22．D 23．B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了法国、巴西、泰国和新西兰四个国家独特的问候方式，展示了不同文化的多样性。 21．文章表格中分别提到了法国、巴西、泰国和新西兰的四种不同的问候方式，文章最后一段还明确提到“In most countries, people shake hands when they meet.”，所以全文共计提到了5种问候方式。 22．文章新西兰部分“People touch their noses together when they meet.”指出，新西兰人通过碰鼻子来问候。 23．文章围绕不同国家独特的问候习俗展开，属于文化习俗的介绍。 B Whether you’re riding in a “lift” or an “elevator”, or eating “chips” or “fries”, it all depends on whether you’re in the UK or the US. Although they both speak English, there are many expressions that differ (相异) between the cultures. For example, sometimes you just don’t want to go out with friends. In the US you might say you don’t want to do that activity, but in the UK you would say, “I can’t be asked.” Maybe you feel a little anxious (焦虑). In the US, you might say you are nervous, but in the UK, you could say you are “having kittens”. If people in the UK are under pressure, they might say they are “under the cosh”. Many English speakers are often confused about the meanings of these expressions. Stephanie Stone, an American, thinks about her experience studying in the UK, “People would ask, ‘You all right?’ For months I thought I looked bad until I realized it just meant ‘How’s it going?’” If you want to know more about US and UK expressions, you’d better have a butcher’s hook at some books. It can be quite interesting to find the same expression in your own language. 24．What would you say in America if you don’t want to go out with friends? A．I can’t be bothered. B．I’m under the cosh. C．I don’t want to do that. D．I’m having kittens. 25．How might Stephanie Stone feel at first when someone asked her “You all right?” in the UK? A．Worried. B．Bored. C．Tired. D．Glad. 26．What do the underlined words “have a butcher’s hook” in the last paragraph mean? A．Get many skills. B．Have a look. C．Write down some words. D．Buy some books. 27．What is the text mainly about? A．The meanings of idioms (习语) in the UK and the US. B．The history of idioms in the UK and the US. C．The differences of idioms in the UK and the US. D．The importance of idioms in the UK and the US. 【答案】24．C 25．A 26．B 27．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了英式英语和美式英语中日常表达与习语的差异，通过具体例子对比了不同表达的用法，并讲述了人们因这些差异产生的困惑。 24．第二段提到“In the US you might say you don’t want to do that activity”，这直接说明在美国不想和朋友出门时会说“I don’t want to do that”。 25．第四段提到“For months I thought I looked bad until I realized it just meant ‘How’s it going?’”，由此可知Stephanie Stone起初以为对方觉得自己状态不好，会感到担忧。 26．结合前文“If you want to know more about US and UK expressions”以及短语的语境，“have a butcher’s hook”是英式俚语，意为“have a look（看一看）”。 27．全文通过多个例子对比英美习语与表达的不同，因此文章主旨是英美习语的差异。 C ① What did people do to communicate in ancient times? Here are some very interesting answers to this question. ② Alphorns (阿尔卑斯号角) were used to communicate in the mountains in Switzerland once. They are very long and they are very heavy too. So, alphorns are hard to blow. Then why use them? Well, they make a loud sound which travels much further than the human voice. Herdsmen (牧人) used them to call cows in the distance for milking. Alphorns were also used to send a message down to villagers that all was well. These days, they’re musical instruments. ③ The people of La Gomera, an island, have their own special way of sending messages from one mountain to another. They use a whistled (口哨的) language called El Silbo Gomero which comes from their language, Spanish. People can hear whistling in up to 5 kilometres, which means they can use it across much greater distances than shouting. El Silbo Gomero can send all kinds of messages, including greetings and notices. People use El Silbo Gomero less than it used to be, but students in La Gomera have to learn it. ④ Did you know it’s also possible to send messages without making a noise? This is called visual communication, and it includes the use of flags and even smoke. Long ago, soldiers (士兵) along the Great Wall of China used smoke as a sign. If they noticed something uncommon from their signal (信号) towers, they set a fire. When soldiers in other towers saw the smoke signal, they set fires too. In this way, messages could travel 300 miles in just a few hours. 28．What do people use alphorns for today? A．Communicating in the mountains. B．Calling cows for milking. C．Sending messages down to villagers. D．Playing a kind of music. 29．Why do the people of La Gomera use El Silbo Gomero to communicate? A．Because it can send messages to animals. B．Because it is different from their language. C．Because they can hear it at a great distance. D．Because it is a subject for young students. 30．How did soldiers along the Great Wall get messages between towers? A．By listening. B．By whistling. C．By shouting. D．By watching. 31．Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? A． B． C． D． 【答案】28．D 29．C 30．D 31．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了古代人们不同的交流方式，包括瑞士使用阿尔卑斯号角、拉戈梅拉岛使用口哨语言以及中国长城士兵使用烟雾信号等。 28．第二段指出：“These days, they’re musical instruments”，说明如今阿尔卑斯号角是一种乐器，即用来演奏一种音乐。 29．第三段说明原因：“People can hear whistling in up to 5 kilometres, which means they can use it across much greater distances than shouting”，表明拉戈梅拉岛的人使用El Silbo Gomero交流是因为能在很远距离听到。 30．第四段说明方式：“When soldiers in other towers saw the smoke signal, they set fires too. In this way, messages could travel 300 miles in just a few hours.”，说明长城上的士兵是通过观察烟雾信号在塔楼间传递信息。 31．第一段定义结构：“Here are some very interesting answers to this question”为总起，引出后文对不同交流方式的介绍；第二、三、四段分别介绍了“Alphorns”“El Silbo Gomero”“visual communication”三种交流方式，是并列关系。整体结构为总分的结构。 D An argument broke out during an online exchange with British pen pals from Unit 8’s “Robinson Crusoe” study group. Chinese student Yang Ming mentioned reading Robinson Crusoe, while English student Emma insisted: “You haven’t read the original version yet!” (using Unit 8’s present perfect tense). Their teacher Ms. Chen mediated: “Why don’t you share cultural perspectives?” Yang presented Chinese translations’ historical context, while Emma explained Western literary traditions. They eventually co-created a bilingual book review comparing 5 adaptations. This incident inspired the school’s new “Global Understanding” course, teaching conflict resolution through cultural comparisons. Participation in international exchanges has since risen by 35%. 32．What caused the disagreement? A．Translation quality B．Version read C．Grammar usage D．Publication dates 33．How did the teacher help? A．Assigned punishment B．Suggested collaboration C．Cancelled the exchange D．Changed topics 34．What grammatical focus appeared in the argument? A．Past tense B．Present perfect C．Future continuous D．Passive voice 35．What was the positive outcome? A．New course created B．Books banned C．Exams cancelled D．Library expanded 【答案】32．B 33．B 34．B 35．A 【导语】本文讲述了中英笔友因是否读过《鲁滨逊漂流记》原著产生争执，老师引导他们从文化视角交流，最终合作完成书评，并促使学校开设新课程的故事。 32．第一段“Chinese student Yang Ming mentioned reading Robinson Crusoe, while English student Emma insisted: ‘You haven’t read the original version yet!’”表明分歧在于是否读过原著。 33．第二段老师说“Why don’t you share cultural perspectives?”，引导两人交流、合作，最终共同创作书评。 34．第一段括号标注“using Unit 8’s present perfect tense”，且句子“You haven’t read…”是现在完成时。 35．最后一段“This incident inspired the school’s new ‘Global Understanding’ course”说明这次事件促成了新课程的创立。 V. 口语应用。（每小题2分, 共10分） 阅读下面对话，从7个选项中选择5个恰当的句子完成此对话。 A: Hi, Tom! You look happy today. What’s the good news? B: Hi, Jim! 36 It was very interesting. A: Oh, I’m sorry I didn’t go with you. 37 B: We met some foreign students and talked about our cultures. I also learned how to greet them politely. A: Sounds great! 38 B: I think the most important thing is to respect their cultures. A: I agree. 39 Can you give me some advice? B: Sure. You can read books or watch videos about Western cultures. You can also talk with foreign friends online. A: Thank you. There will be another exchange activity next week. 40 B: You should prepare some interesting things about our hometown culture to share with them. A．What should I do to prepare for it?

Although they share the same date, the celebration styles are quite different. In China, the festival is a time for family reunion. On this special day, families gather at home, enjoy delicious mooncakes and admire the bright full moon together. In Japan, this festival is called Tsukimi. People eat moon‑shaped dumplings and decorate their houses with pampas grass to show thanks to the moon. In Malaysia, people hold lantern parades at night. Children walk on the streets with colourful lanterns, singing and dancing happily. 41．What is the main meaning of the Mid‑Autumn Festival in China? 42．What do Japanese people eat during Tsukimi? 43．How do Malaysian children celebrate the festival? 44．What is the best title for this passage? 【答案】41．It is a time for family reunion. 42．They eat moon-shaped dumplings. 43．They walk on the streets with colourful lanterns, singing and dancing happily during lantern parades at night. 44．Different Celebrations of the Mid-Autumn Festival in Asian Countries 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中秋节作为亚洲多国重要传统节日的共性，以及中国、日本、马来西亚三国不同的庆祝方式。 41．文中第二段明确提到“In China, the festival is a time for family reunion.”，直接点明了中秋节在中国的核心意义，因此可提取关键信息作答。 42．文中第三段提到“In Japan, this festival is called Tsukimi. People eat moon-shaped dumplings and decorate their houses with pampas grass to show thanks to the moon.”，直接提取节日期间的食物即可。 43．文中第四段指出“Children walk on the streets with colourful lanterns, singing and dancing happily.”，结合前句的“hold lantern parades at night”，整合马来西亚儿童的庆祝方式即可。 44．全文围绕不同国家的中秋节庆祝方式展开，可提炼出能概括全文核心内容的标题。 VII.完成句子。（45-48小题,每空1分;49小题2分;共10分） 根据所给提示, 完成句子。 45．那太正式了，我们一般只在特殊场合才会这么做。 That’s so ________ that we only do it ________ ________ ________. 【答案】 formal at special times 【详解】原句中“正式的”是关键词，“so…that…”结构表示“如此……以至于……”，“正式的”英文为formal；“在特殊场合”对应的英文短语为at special times。故填formal；at；special；times。 46．印度人是如何与他人打招呼的？ How do people ________ ________ in India? 【答案】 greet others 【详解】根据中英文对照可知，此处缺少“与他人打招呼”。“打招呼”用greet表示，“他人”用others表示，助动词do后接动词原形，所以用greet others符合语境。 47．坐直身子。别把胳膊放在桌子上。 ________ ________ straight. ________ your arms ________ the table 【答案】 Sit up Keep off 【详解】“坐直”用sit up；“别把胳膊放在桌子上”可表达为keep your arms off the table，其中keep…off 意为“使……不接触”。前半句和后半句均为祈使句，应以动词原形开头，句首首字母大写。 48．你会很快习惯这儿的习俗的。 You’ll soon ________ ________ ________ the customs here. 【答案】 be/get used to 【详解】原句中“习惯”是关键词，表示“习惯”的短语是get used to、be used to两者皆可。本句为一般将来时，will后接动词原形，第一空填写be或get都可以。故填be/get；used；to。 49．中西方文化之间有许多差异，但它们也有一些相似之处。 There are many ________ ________ Chinese and Western cultures, but they also have some similarities. 【答案】 differences between 【详解】原句中“……之间的差异”是关键词。“差异”可用difference表示，可数名词，前有many修饰，用复数形式differences；中西方文化属于两者比较，“在两者之间”英文为between。 VIII. 概要补全。（51和53小题, 每小题2分;50和52小题, 每小题3分; 共10分） 阅读文章，用恰当的短语或句子补全概要。补全部分总词数不超过30词，不能照抄原文连续超过3个词。 We always use expressions like “excuse me”, “please” and “thank you” when we communicate with others in our daily lives. In many people’s opinion, being polite to others, including our family and friends, is of great importance. However, for some people, there is no need to say these words to their loved ones. Do we need to say polite words to the people close to us? For some people, it’s necessary(必要的). They usually use “excuse me” or “pardon me” to let others pay attention to them. Or they use “may” when they need to ask for permission(允许). In France, polite language is important even among family members. It’s common for them to say “thank you” and “please” when they talk with their loved ones. They think using polite language is a good way to show respect. Moreover, our family members will be happy if we say “thank you” to them for their care and help. For others, it’s not necessary to say polite words if the people are very close. They think it’s common to say “please” or “thank you” to strangers, but these words might not feel right with their loved ones. Instead, talking with them in an informal(非正式的) way creates natural and relaxing communication. It’s said that the Dutch usually have more direct communication with their loved ones, so they hardly say polite words like “please” and “thank you” to each other. People have different opinions about using polite words like “please” and “thank you” with loved ones. Some people believe 50 . For example, French people think it shows respect and can make others happy. Other people think polite words may 51 with their loved ones. Also, 52 . The Dutch hardly say polite words to their loved ones. While politeness is common with strangers, its role in 53 depends on culture and personal preference. 【答案】50．we should use polite words/it is important to use polite words 51．sound/be strange/unnatural 52．informal communication is real and comfortable/direct communication feels better 53．close relationships 【导语】本文讨论了人们对亲近的人是否需要使用礼貌用语的不同看法。 50．根据第二段 “For some people, it’s necessary.” 以及法国人对家人也常用礼貌用语的例子可知，此处应表达对亲近的人使用礼貌用语是有必要/很重要的。 51．根据第三段 “these words might not feel right with their loved ones”可知，对亲近的人说礼貌用语会显得奇怪、不自然。 52．根据第三段 “talking with them in an informal way creates natural and relaxing communication” 以及荷兰人更直接的交流方式可知，非正式/直接的交流更真实、舒服。 53．全文围绕对亲近的人/亲密关系是否使用礼貌用语展开，此处指礼貌在亲密关系中的作用。 IX. 书面表达。（满分20分） 54．请以“A Cultural Experience That Taught Me Something”为题，请你用英语写一篇短文，分享一次让你有所领悟的文化经历（如与外国朋友交流、尝试外国食物、了解外国节日等），并谈谈你学到了什么。 要求： 1. 根据所给题目，写一篇短文，词数不少于80； 2. 语言流畅、书写规范、卷面整洁； 3. 文中不得使用真实姓名、校名，否则以零分计； ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 A Cultural Experience That Taught Me Something Last month, I tried making Japanese sushi for the first time. It was a great cultural experience. My friend Yuki, who is from Japan, taught me how to make it. She showed me how to cook the rice and roll the sushi.

B Whether you’re riding in a “lift” or an “elevator”, or eating “chips” or “fries”, it all depends on whether you’re in the UK or the US. Although they both speak English, there are many expressions that differ (相异) between the cultures. For example, sometimes you just don’t want to go out with friends. In the US you might say you don’t want to do that activity, but in the UK you would say, “I can’t be asked.” Maybe you feel a little anxious (焦虑). In the US, you might say you are nervous, but in the UK, you could say you are “having kittens”. If people in the UK are under pressure, they might say they are “under the cosh”. Many English speakers are often confused about the meanings of these expressions. Stephanie Stone, an American, thinks about her experience studying in the UK, “People would ask, ‘You all right?’ For months I thought I looked bad until I realized it just meant ‘How’s it going?’” If you want to know more about US and UK expressions, you’d better have a butcher’s hook at some books. It can be quite interesting to find the same expression in your own language. 24．What would you say in America if you don’t want to go out with friends? A．I can’t be bothered. B．I’m under the cosh.

D．The importance of idioms in the UK and the US. C ① What did people do to communicate in ancient times? Here are some very interesting answers to this question. ② Alphorns (阿尔卑斯号角) were used to communicate in the mountains in Switzerland once. They are very long and they are very heavy too. So, alphorns are hard to blow. Then why use them? Well, they make a loud sound which travels much further than the human voice. Herdsmen (牧人) used them to call cows in the distance for milking. Alphorns were also used to send a message down to villagers that all was well. These days, they’re musical instruments. ③ The people of La Gomera, an island, have their own special way of sending messages from one mountain to another. They use a whistled (口哨的) language called El Silbo Gomero which comes from their language, Spanish. People can hear whistling in up to 5 kilometres, which means they can use it across much greater distances than shouting. El Silbo Gomero can send all kinds of messages, including greetings and notices. People use El Silbo Gomero less than it used to be, but students in La Gomera have to learn it. ④ Did you know it’s also possible to send messages without making a noise? This is called visual communication, and it includes the use of flags and even smoke. Long ago, soldiers (士兵) along the Great Wall of China used smoke as a sign. If they noticed something uncommon from their signal (信号) towers, they set a fire. When soldiers in other towers saw the smoke signal, they set fires too. In this way, messages could travel 300 miles in just a few hours. 28．What do people use alphorns for today? A．Communicating in the mountains. B．Calling cows for milking. C．Sending messages down to villagers. D．Playing a kind of music. 29．Why do the people of La Gomera use El Silbo Gomero to communicate? A．Because it can send messages to animals. B．Because it is different from their language. C．Because they can hear it at a great distance. D．Because it is a subject for young students. 30．How did soldiers along the Great Wall get messages between towers? A．By listening. B．By whistling. C．By shouting. D．By watching. 31．Which of the following best shows the structure of the text? A． B． C． D． D An argument broke out during an online exchange with British pen pals from Unit 8’s “Robinson Crusoe” study group. Chinese student Yang Ming mentioned reading Robinson Crusoe, while English student Emma insisted: “You haven’t read the original version yet!” (using Unit 8’s present perfect tense). Their teacher Ms. Chen mediated: “Why don’t you share cultural perspectives?” Yang presented Chinese translations’ historical context, while Emma explained Western literary traditions. They eventually co-created a bilingual book review comparing 5 adaptations. This incident inspired the school’s new “Global Understanding” course, teaching conflict resolution through cultural comparisons. Participation in international exchanges has since risen by 35%. 32．What caused the disagreement? A．Translation quality B．Version read C．Grammar usage D．Publication dates 33．How did the teacher help? A．Assigned punishment B．Suggested collaboration C．Cancelled the exchange D．Changed topics 34．What grammatical focus appeared in the argument?

In many people’s opinion, being polite to others, including our family and friends, is of great importance. However, for some people, there is no need to say these words to their loved ones. Do we need to say polite words to the people close to us? For some people, it’s necessary(必要的). They usually use “excuse me” or “pardon me” to let others pay attention to them. Or they use “may” when they need to ask for permission(允许). In France, polite language is important even among family members. It’s common for them to say “thank you” and “please” when they talk with their loved ones. They think using polite language is a good way to show respect. Moreover, our family members will be happy if we say “thank you” to them for their care and help. For others, it’s not necessary to say polite words if the people are very close. They think it’s common to say “please” or “thank you” to strangers, but these words might not feel right with their loved ones. Instead, talking with them in an informal(非正式的) way creates natural and relaxing communication. It’s said that the Dutch usually have more direct communication with their loved ones, so they hardly say polite words like “please” and “thank you” to each other. People have different opinions about using polite words like “please” and “thank you” with loved ones. Some people believe 50 . For example, French people think it shows respect and can make others happy. Other people think polite words may 51 with their loved ones. Also, 52 .
