B When people go to a different country for the first time,they experience culture shock because everything is so different:the language,the food,the background,the social customs and others!When I first set foot in the City of Leeds,England,I found myself in a completely different culture from that of my own city,Guangzhou.For the first few days of my stay in Leeds I really experienced this so-called“culture shock”. One problem I had was with the food.Usually Chinese people are not used to the taste of British food,but the problem I actually had was with the names of the different kinds of food.When the waiter asked me what I wanted,all I could do was to point and say“I want this”or“I want that'”. Something else which was different was the countryside.When I was sitting on the bus heading from Manchester International Airport towards Leeds,I saw through the window large fields of green grass on either side of the motorway （高速路).There was green grass and beautiful trees all the way.I could see sheep or horses eating grass in a free way.We may see such a scene in Xinjiang and Inner Mongolia,because we Chinese use most of the land to grow crops.As we all know,China has a large population but limited farming land.It supports about one fifth of the world's population.We can't afford to leave large areas of rich land unused. Then,after a few days,I got over this shock and really enjoyed my stay in England. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 ()26.What does the underlined word "that"in Paragraph 1 refer to? A.The language. B.The food.

A.The City of Leeds B.The Culture Shock C.Some Delicious Food D.Many Cute Animals C Rivers are very important for people and nature.Many big cities are next to rivers.Almost every country has a river.Rivers play a key role in the lives of people. 英语八年级下册●第3页共6页 试卷6 For a very long time,people used rivers to move things and travel.The longest river in the United States is the Mississippi.The most important river in Egypt is the Nile.To the people of India,the Ganges is great.Ships can travel along it for a thousand miles.Other great rivers are the Congo in Africa and the Mekong in southeast Asia.The greatest of all for navigation (is the Amazon in Brazil.It is so wide and so deep that large ships can go about two thousand miles upon it. Besides,rivers give food to eat,water to drink,water for crops,and chances for fun to the people who live along their banks.Sometimes, people build a big wall called a dam()across a river.And a lake forms behind the wall.People can then use this water for two things:to give water to plants on farms and to make electricity()for houses and factories.
