I’m from Egypt. Last year, I had the chance to study in Canada for six months. It was my first time 21 a Western country, and I learned many valuable lessons about cultural differences.

In India, for example, people only eat with their right hands. And their left hand stays still. Eating with your left hand is very rude! In western countries, people do not usually share the same dishes. Everyone has his or her own plate of food. You eat with a knife and fork and you should not wave (挥) them around when you are not eating. And you should try not to be noisy when eating. When you go to some restaurants in different parts of the world, it is important to know what people think is rude. For example, in China it is OK to be noisy in a restaurant. In fact, if a restaurant is not noisy, you may think it is not very good. However, in many western countries, restaurants are quiet places. If a table is too noisy, other customers might not be happy. Paying for the meal is also different from country to country. In China, one person usually pays for everyone. In western countries, when friends eat together, they usually share the cost. This is called “going Dutch”. When westerners pay the check, they usually leave some money for the waiter. This is called “leaving a tip”. Not leaving a tip is very rude. In the U. S., it’s common to leave tips of 10%, 15% or 20% of the check. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 31．What do people usually do while eating in western countries? A．Share the same dishes. B．Talk in a loud voice.

Chopsticks have been used in Asia for over 3,000 years. The earliest chopsticks were discovered in Henan, China about 1200 BCE. Over the next 2,000 years, they spread throughout East and Southeast Asia. The three most well-known types are Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. Chinese chopsticks are longer with wide, rounded points at the end, mostly made of plastic or bamboo. While Japanese chopsticks are shorter and more pointed. Korean ones are flat rather than round and made of metal rather than wood. It’s said that ancient Royalty (皇室) used silver chopsticks to see if their food was poisoned (有毒的). In Southeast Asia, Vietnamese chopsticks are similar to Chinese ones. Chopsticks are not just eating tools. A proper chopstick grip (握法) can greatly improve dining experience. First, place the top part of two sticks between your thumb and index finger. Hold the upper chopstick gently with your first three fingers while resting the lower one at your ring finger. Meanwhile, put your thumb at the side of your index-finger nail. The upper stick is moved up and down with the movements of the index finger and middle finger. This way, pieces of food can be easily grasped between the tips of the chopsticks. ________ The first rule is to grab and not stab (刺入) food with the tip of your chopsticks. Second, don’t set chopsticks vertically (垂直的) into the rice in your bowl. In some cultures, such positioning of chopsticks is considered as a symbol associated with death. Third, watch where you point your chopsticks. It’s rude to point them directly at others. Following the guidelines above, you not only show respect for the cultural traditions about chopsticks, but also enrich your overall dining experience. 41．We can learn about the ________ of chopsticks in Paragraph 2. ① ② ③ ④ ⑤ features discovery materials types sales A．①②③ B．③④⑤ C．①③④ D．①②⑤ 42．How many rules about using chopsticks rightly are there in Paragraph 4?

Everyone has his or her own plate of food.”这直接说明西方人习惯各自吃自己盘子里的食物。 32．第一段中提到：“In India, for example, people only eat with their right hands. And their left hand stays still.”，结合上下文，“still”在此处意为“不动的”，强调左手不参与进食动作。 33．最后一段指出：“In the U.S., it’s common to leave tips of 10%, 15% or 20% of the check.”，若账单为300美元，则小费可能为30美元、45美元或60美元。 34．根据全文内容：西方国家普遍有小费文化，给小费是礼貌行为。 35．全文围绕不同国家的用餐礼仪展开，包括饮食方式、餐厅氛围、付账习惯等，因此最佳标题应为“Table Manners”（餐桌礼仪），而非仅聚焦于“付账”或“小费”。 36．B 37．C 38．B 39．A 40．D 本文是王明写给李华的一封信，主要写了王明在加拿大学习期间，亲身经历并感受到的文化差异，同时讲述了自己从初时害怕犯错到逐渐自信、与当地人友好相处的经历，传递出在异国文化融合中的成长与感悟。 36．根据“I’m now studying in Canada and I’m having a great time here.”可知，王明现在在加拿大。 37．根据“Here, people usually use knives and forks to eat.”可知，在加拿大，人们用刀和叉吃饭。 38．根据“Last week, I celebrated Thanksgiving with my host family.”可知，上周王明过了感恩节。 39．根据“At first, I was afraid of making mistakes”可知，王明刚开始与当地人交流的时候很害怕犯错。 40．信件核心是分享在加拿大的经历、感受，而非抱怨，邀请或求助，故选D。 41．C 42．B 43．D 44．B 45．B 本文是一篇说明文，介绍筷子的历史、类型、握法及礼仪，展现其作为亚洲文化瑰宝的多元价值。 41．第二段提到“three most well-known types（类型）”“Chinese chopsticks are longer with wide, rounded points（特征）”“made of plastic or bamboo（材料）”，对应features、materials、types，即①③④。 42．第四段明确列出三条规则：①用筷子夹食物而非刺；②不要将筷子垂直插在米饭里；③不要用筷子指向他人，共三条。 43．根据第三段握法描述：上筷用食指和中指控制上下移动，下筷靠无名指支撑，拇指和食指夹住筷子上端，图片D符合。 44．第四段主要讲筷子礼仪规则，空格处应引出“礼仪的重要性”，“Understanding chopstick manners is also necessary”最贴合。 45．本文涵盖筷子的历史、类型、握法、礼仪，体现其作为亚洲文化瑰宝的意义，“Chopsticks, Treasure of Asian culture”最全面。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
