We’d better know some culture shock in our lives, because every tradition can teach us something different about the country and its culture.
Mexico No yellow roses
Roses are great gifts to show feelings in the world. However, different colours of roses may have different meanings. In Mexico, it’s better to choose a traditional red rose but not a yellow one, because the yellow rose means death (死亡) in Mexican culture.

In many Middle Eastern countries, greeting someone or eating with one’s left hand is not polite or healthy. People there have special use of left hands after going to the bathroom, so they take the left hand as the dirty hand.

My dad and I went hiking in the mountain. We enjoyed the fresh air and decided to stay in the hotel for two days. However, I had one of the most terrible experiences of my life! A storm woke me up early. I got up and looked out of the window of our hotel. I listened to the thunder and watched the lightning. It wasn’t scary at that time—it was exciting!
But then I looked at my phone and saw on the news that a hurricane was coming. I asked my dad what a hurricane was and asked him if he knew what to do. He told me not to worry because a hurricane was just a big storm. We stayed in our hotel room and by the afternoon, there was even more rain. And the winds were getting stronger and stronger.
In the evening, a hotel worker asked all the visitors to go to the dining hall. When we were all inside, we put tables in front of the doors and then we got down on the floor together in the corner. We waited and waited. The winds got louder, the rain became heavier and then it suddenly went dark. I was so startled that I held (抓住) my dad’s hand. We stayed there for a long time.
Finally, morning arrived. The storm was over. I felt so happy that we were safe. I hope I will never have a night like that again.

Our planet has many amazing places, and one of them is Vinicunca in Peru. Known as the Rainbow Mountain, it is famous for its bright lines of red, yellow, green and purple. It is part of the Andes Mountains (安第斯山脉), the longest mountain chain (山脉) on earth. At 5,200 metres tall, it is even taller than other famous mountains. Did you know the Andes grow about 1 centimetre higher every year? Visitors say visiting the Rainbow Mountain feels like stepping into a magical world!
The colourful lines come from different rocks under the ground. For example, iron (铁) in the rocks turns red when it meets air, and a yellow material called sulfur (硫磺) makes the bright yellow lines. Over thousands of years, wind and rain slowly washed away dirt and ice, showing these colourful parts. Scientists say it’s like nature is an artist! The colours also change with the weather—they look bright in sunlight and softer on cloudy days.
Before 2015, the Rainbow Mountain was covered in ice. When the ice turned into water because of warmer weather, the colours became perceptible (看得出的). Now, many travellers visit it every year. But too many people walking here can harm the mountain. To protect it, local villagers control the number of visitors and ask everyone to follow simple rules, like taking rubbish home.
The Rainbow Mountain reminds us that earth’s wonders are both beautiful and easily harmed. Saving these places helps plants, animals, and people who live close by. Everyone can help! If we treat nature kindly, we can protect the mountain. Helping local guides means villagers can protect their home better, and telling friends about the Rainbow Mountain teaches others to care too. Even small steps today can keep this colourful wonder safe for tomorrow.
52.What can we know about the Rainbow Mountain?
A.It has three bright colourful lines.
B.It is the highest mountain chain on earth.
C.It is part of the Andes and over 5,000 metres tall.
D. It is famous for its length.
53.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The ice. B.Warmer weather. C.The Rainbow Mountain. D. Travelers
54. What’s the main theme of the passage?
A.Science. B.Nature. C.Travel. D.Health
55. What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?
A.To introduce a natural place and call for its protection.
B.To describe the reasons for rock colours in nature.
C.To encourage people to visit the Rainbow Mountain.
D. To tell you a story .

Hawaii is a very special place. It’s a long way from San Francisco and Chicago and New York. 56 It takes about five hours to fly to Hawaii from Los Angeles. 57 Their home is quiet too. But sometimes the famous volcanoes (火山) of the island can break the quiet life. These volcanoes can be dangerous, but by making new land, they actually make the island grow.
Many people go to Hawaii to surf. Hawaii has a lot of sharks, but this does not stop people enjoying the beach and the sea. 58 The boats are long and thin. After a day’s surfing, a barbecue and a beach party are a great way to relax. Much of Hawaiian food comes from the sea and the Hawaiian people love to eat fish, shrimps and crabs. 59
As a sign of friendship, the Hawaiian people make flower chains and give them to visitors. 60 The Hawaiian language is strange because it only has twelve letters. The Hawaiian people speak English, but you should learn how to say “Hello” or “Aloha” before you go there!
A.Hawaiian men often have boat races.
