They carry special cultural meanings and show people’s respect to each other. If you travel abroad, knowing proper greetings will help you avoid embarrassment. In most Western countries, people usually shake hands firmly when they meet for the first time. Eye contact is needed while shaking hands, which shows honesty and sincerity. In Japan, people prefer to bow instead of shaking hands. The deeper you bow, the more respect you show to others. In some Southeast Asian countries, people put their palms together and nod gently. This polite action expresses best wishes. In France, close friends often kiss each other on the cheeks when meeting. However, this kind of way is not suitable for formal business meetings. No matter what kind of greeting customs there are, the core meaning is the same. All of them stand for kindness and politeness. We should accept and respect different cultural ways instead of judging them by our own habits. 31. What do Western people usually do when meeting strangers? A. Bow deeply B. Shake hands C. Kiss cheeks D. Put palms together 32. Why do Japanese people bow? A. To show respect B. To say goodbye C. To ask for help D. To express excitement 33. Which greeting way is proper for business meetings in France? A. Cheek kissing B. Nodding only C. Handshaking D. Hugging warmly 34. What is the same core of all greeting customs? A. Different living habits B. Kindness and politeness C. Special local festivals D. Various eating manners 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. How to make foreign friends easily B. The history of different countries C. Different cultural greeting customs D. Suggestions on traveling abroad B When having dinner with foreign friends or staying at foreign families, lots of teenagers feel quite nervous and worried about making silly mistakes. Actually, it is not hard for us to master some basic western dining manners. As long as we follow proper rules, we can behave politely and naturally in different dinner situations. First of all, you should pay attention to the arriving time when you are invited to a dinner party. It is not polite to get there too early, for you may disturb the host who is busy preparing delicious food and cleaning the house. It is the best choice to arrive five to ten minutes later than the fixed time. Besides, bringing a small thoughtful gift is also a good choice, like fresh fruits, sweet candies or simple handmade gifts, which can surely warm the host’s heart. While enjoying the meal, you need to keep good eating habits all the time. You are supposed to sit up straight and keep your elbows off the dinner table. It is bad manners to speak loudly or talk with your mouth full of food. What’s more, never stick your chopsticks straight into the rice bowl. This traditional action carries unlucky meanings in many Asian cultures, so we must avoid doing that. After finishing all the food, do not leave the house in a hurry right away. You can stay for a short while and have a relaxing chat with the host’s family members to show your sincere thanks for their warm reception. If you keep these useful tips in mind, you will get along smoothly with foreign friends and leave a wonderful impression on others. 36. How long is proper for you to arrive at a dinner party? A. Half an hour earlier B. Five to ten minutes late C. Over fifteen minutes late D. Just one minute late 37. Which gift is suitable to take to the host’s home? A. Expensive fine jewelry B. Some fresh small fruits C. High-priced wine D. Huge boxes of snacks 38. Which of the following is impolite during dinner? A. Sitting straight quietly B. Speaking in a low voice C. Putting elbows on the table D. Having meals slowly 39. Why is it wrong to stick chopsticks upright in bowls? A. It wastes tableware resources B. It has bad cultural implied meanings C. It is easy to damage chopsticks D. It makes the table look messy 40. What should you do after dinner according to the passage? A. Go home immediately B. Chat politely for some time C. Help wash dishes without permission D. Turn down all kinds of snacks C Now more and more young people choose to study or work in foreign countries. Cultural differences have become the biggest problem for them. Many people fail to get used to local life just because they ignore tiny cultural differences in daily communication. In daily talks, westerners hate being asked private questions directly. They think age, weight, salary and marriage are personal secrets. Even close friends will not talk about these topics freely. But in our daily life, we often care about these things to show our care, which easily causes misunderstanding. Besides, people in different countries have different views on time. People in Germany are strict with time. Being late for any appointment is seen as very rude. While people in some relaxing countries don’t care too much about being a little late. Crossing culture needs more patience and understanding. We cannot use our own cultural ideas to require foreigners. Learning to listen more and speak properly can help us break cultural gaps and build friendly relationships with people from different backgrounds. 41. What troubles young people most abroad? A. Bad living conditions B. Cultural differences C. Unhealthy food D. Language learning difficulty 42. Which question is unwelcome for western people? A. How is the weather today? B. How much money do you make? C. What delicious food do you like? D. Where do you usually take a walk? 43. What do German people think of being late? A. Very rude B. Quite common C. Full of fun D. Easy to forgive 44. Why do easy talks cause misunderstanding? A. People have different eating habits B. People have different cultural ideas C. People have different hobbies D. People have different living places 45. What is the best way to cross cultural gaps? A. Speak our own ideas loudly B. Refuse different opinions C. Be patient and understand others D. Force others to follow our habits 四、信息还原(七选五)(共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Cultural exchange plays an important role in today’s global world.

It includes ancient customs, traditional skills, local traditions and national values. For thousands of years, it has shaped our way of thinking and living, and makes each nation different from others. Inheriting traditional culture plays a key role in modern social development. It helps young people understand their own history and build cultural confidence. It also enriches modern cultural life and keeps national spirits alive from generation to generation. However, cultural breaks have appeared in modern society. With frequent global cultural exchanges, teenagers are deeply influenced by foreign popular culture. They gradually pay less attention to traditional crafts and old social manners, and many fine ancient traditions are slowly forgotten and on the verge of disappearing. Luckily, we can change this present situation. Schools should set up related courses and hold rich cultural activities. At the same time, young people ought to take the initiative to learn and carry forward excellent traditional culture. Only in this way can our traditional culture keep developing and show its charm all over the world. 61. What is the spiritual root of a country? _ 62.
