I was confused and said, ‘Sorry, I meant cold water.’”可知，作者在中国学校因得到的是温水而不是自己想要的冷水感到困惑，因此是温水让他感到困惑。 32．根据第二段中“The trains always arrived and left on time, and the QR code systems made my trips easy and efficient.”可知，作者喜欢在中国坐火车是因为火车总是准时，且二维码系统让出行便捷高效。 33．设空处位于第三段段首，后文描述了作者回到英国后遇到的情况：火车总是晚点、想念中国菜，与在中国的体验形成反差，因此“everything seemed different（一切似乎都不同了）”能引出下文内容。 34．根据后文“The trains always arrived late.”可知，英国的火车总是晚点，因此“delays”在文中的意思是“延误”。 35．文章讲述了作者初到中国时的文化冲击，以及返回英国后的反向文化冲击，目的是分享自己在两个国家的文化冲击感受。 36．A 37．B 38．C 39．C 40．C 本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了礼貌在不同文化中的重要性，以及在公共场合、排队、交谈、拜访、用餐等不同场景下的礼仪规范，强调了良好礼仪对日常交流和人际交往的积极作用。 36．文章首句点明主旨 “Manners are important in every culture. Good manners help us communicate better.”，全文围绕礼貌的重要性和具体礼仪展开。 37．根据文章第二段第一句 “In public places, we should keep quiet and not speak loudly.” 可知，在公共场合我们应该保持安静。 38．根据文章第二段第三、四句 “When waiting in line, we should not push in. It is rude to jump the queue.” 可知，“jump the queue” 与 “push in” 同义，意为 “插队”。 39．根据文章第三段第一句 “When eating, we should not make noise or talk with food in the mouth.” 可知，用餐时我们不应该发出响声，也不应该嘴里含着食物说话。 40．根据文章最后一句 “It makes us polite and welcome everywhere.” 可知，良好的礼仪会让我们在任何地方都受欢迎。 41．saying goodbye 42．get used to 43．asking others to stay 44．Baqiao 45．Tang and Song dynasties 本文主要介绍了中国古代用柳枝作为送别礼物的原因。 41．直接找到文章首句关键词“a symbol of saying goodbye”，答案明确。 42．第二段结尾处说明送柳枝是希望对方“easily get used to”新环境，注意原文用的是“will easily get used to”，此处动词短语需保持一致。 43．第三段中“giving a willow branch…was like asking others to stay”，注意like后跟动名词，答案即为“asking others to stay”。 44．第四段具体地点为“Baqiao, a bridge in Chang’an”，专有名词首字母大写。 45．最后一段指出唐宋诗词中常提及柳枝，填“Tang and Song dynasties”。注意复数形式。 46．bow 47．hands 48．cheek 49．hug 50．formal 51．Then 52．but 53．when 54．friends 55．differences 本文主要介绍不同国家不同的见面问候礼仪，讲述作者和外国朋友相处的经历，故告诉我们了解各国风俗的重要意义。 46．句意：在日本，人们见面时会鞠躬。 根据常识和后文“It shows respect” 表示表达尊重，日本见面礼仪是鞠躬。 47．句意：在美国，人们第一次见面经常握手。 shake hands是固定表达 “握手”，要用复数形式。 48．句意：在法国，人们亲吻朋友的脸颊。 结合各国礼仪常识，法国见面亲吻脸颊。 49．句意：好朋友再次相见时可能会互相拥抱。 情态动词may后接动词原形，结合常识，在法国，好朋友再次相见时可能会互相拥抱，应用hug。 50．句意：在正式场合，人们喜欢用礼貌的方式。 修饰名词actions需要形容词，form变为形容词formal表示 “正式的”。 51．句意：我们先握了手，然后他亲吻了我的脸颊。 前后是先后发生的动作，用连词Then表示 “然后”。 52．句意：我有一点惊讶但是很开心。 前后语义转折，surprised和happy形成转折关系，用but连接。 53．句意：当我们去其他国家旅行时，了解这些风俗非常重要。 此处表示 “当…… 的时候”，用连词when引导时间状语从句。 54．句意：它们帮助我们更好地交流，交到更多朋友。 more后接可数名词复数，friend变为复数friends。 55．句意：体验这些文化差异是一次难忘的经历。 形容词cultural后接名词，these后要用复数，different变为名词复数differences。 56．unusual 句意：这是一种不常见的问候方式。括号内的单词usual意为“通常的、常见的”，根据语境，此处需要表达“不常见的”，且单词以元音音素开头，因此用usual的反义词unusual (不寻常的、不常见的)。 57．confused 句意：他对西方国家的餐桌礼仪感到困惑。句中“be confused about...”为固定搭配，意为“对……感到困惑”，此处用形容词“confused”作表语，描述主语“He”的状态，表示人的主观感受。 58．cultures 句意：我们应该了解世界各地不同的文化。句中“different”修饰可数名词复数，表示“不同的……”，“culture”为可数名词，此处指多种文化，应用复数形式。应填cultures。 59．embarrassed 句意：当她在西方礼仪上犯错时，她感到很尴尬。括号内的单词embarrass是动词，意为“使尴尬”，此处作系动词felt的表语，需用形容词形式；主语是she (人)，因此用-ed形式的形容词embarrassed (感到尴尬的)。 60．impolite 句意：嘴里塞满食物说话是不礼貌的。根据“talk with your mouth full of food.”可知嘴里满是食物时说话是不礼貌的，作be动词的表语用形容词impolite“不礼貌的”。故填impolite。 61．例文 Dear Jack, How’s everything going? I am so glad to be invited to visit a school in the UK as an exchange student next month. However, I am afraid that I can’t get used to the new environment because there are many culture differences. So I am writing to you to ask you for some advice. First of all, my spoken English is not as fluent as I expect. So I am worried that I will make some mistakes when I communicate with local people. Secondly, I am not familiar with British customs. So I wonder what differences are between England and Chinese on table manners, daily communication, social habits and so on. I would appreciate it if you could give me some useful suggestions. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Yours, Li Hua 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
