Historians have noticed that shaking hands in the modem time docsn't appear until the mid-19th century,when it was considered a little improper gesture that should only be used between friends. The modem handshake as a form of greeting is barder to find.One of the earliest evidences (is a 16th-century German translation of a French book which mentions shaking bands. There's another evidence for a handshaking tradition at that time:In 1607,the writer James Cleland said that he'd rather shake the two right hands together instead of bowing (down to everyone's shoes and kissing hands. As tho centuries passed,handshaking was replaced (by another greeting way like bowing.According to Roodenburg,handshaking survived in remote arcas,where they'd use the gesture to reconcile after a fight.Then,the handshake appeared again as a standard greeting way that remains today. Not everyone fell in love with the handshake,however.According to an article from December 1884,in France,for example,a society has been recently formed to stop using shake-hands. Why was shaking hands considered as a good way of greeting?The most popular explanation is that it uses the right hand,making it useless for weapon holding.In the 19th century, shaking hands without taking gloves away was quite rude and required to say sorry immediately. Sadly,in a world where unknown translations provide only some evidence,the true reason may remain forever unknown. 26.What can we know from paragraph 1? A.Nothing can show the history of shaking hands. B.The sands have taken away the way of greeting. C.The lost time can't be found any more. D.The true reason for shaking hands is hard to find. 27.What's the meaning of the underlined word"reconcile"in Paragraph 4? A.work together with somebody clse B.organize something peaceful C.be friends with each other again D.live a happy life with others 28.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A.Handshaking was a popular way of greeting as early as the 19th century. B.Not all people like the way of greeting each other by shaking hands. C.People shake hands with right hands because they don't need to take off gloves. D There are lots of facts showing the true reason for shaking hands. 29 Which of the following may be the best title of the passage? A.Evidence of handshake becoming a way of greeting B.Some greeting manners around the world C.The popularity of handshake as a way of greeting D.A story of handshake as a way of greeting & D"Don't lie."We often hear this when we are young,but lying is still common in daily life. 试卷第3页，共8页 CS扫描全能王 可壁3亿人都在用的扫描Ap For example,pcople always say they are on the way,but they are still at home.Why do we lie,and what can we do about it? 2Experts say lying often happens in low-pressure situations.In one study,volunteers took a test and reported their scores,while a machine secretly recorded the real scores.The result showed that many volunteers added one or two points.Experts explain that people lie mainly to get a small advantage,and they believe they won't be caught and the lie won't hurt anyone,so they can still feel like "good"people. 3This is why such lies can be hard to notice.To study why people lie,researchers grouped different lies.Finally,they found three common types of lics in daily life. Here are the descriptions and examples of the three (shown in the picture on the right).A friend might A:White lles-to protect someone's feelings. B:Self-serving lies-to get something for say "Your speech was great!"even if it wasn't (white yourself. lic).Somcone may lie about the score to win a prize C:Avoidance lles-to run away from trouble or responsibility. (self-serving lic),and a student may lie about finishing homework (avoidance lie). 5After knowing the types,we can leamn some useful ways to help control lying.Although white lies are harmless,too many may cover the real problems and stop honest communication. Self-serving lies require clear rules and honest conversations so that people do not depend on lying to get rewards.Avoidance lies can become less if people are allowed to make mistakes and encouraged to face problems directly. Lying will not disappear,but understanding why we lie and how to control it can help us live more honestly and build trust with others. 30.Why did many volunteers add scores in the test? A.Because they were often in high-pressure situations. B.Because they worried that the machine might be wrong. C.Because they thought the lie was too small to be noticed. D.Because they felt safe and believed the lie wouldn't hurt. 31.What type of lie does each picture show? oul Picture① Picture,.② Pictrre③ A.①C,②—A,③-B B.①C,②-B,③-A C.①-B,②-A,③C D.①B,②C,③-A 32.Which opinion would the writer agree with? A.White lies should be avoided in different stressful situations. B.If you stop avoidance lies,other lies will disappear,too. C.People would lie more if they were allowed to make mistakes. D.Understanding our reasons for lying is the first step to honesty. 试卷第4页，共8页 CS扫描全能王 3亿人都在用的扫描APF 33.Which of the following shows the structure of this passage? o ] A ⊙可 D o Emma finished playing a song and looked up at her piano teacher.
