Talent show and shopping B Last year, my cousin Kai went to France to study as an exchange student. He still tells the story of his first greeting to his French host family and laughs about how embarrassed he was. When Kai walked out of the airport, the host family, Mr. and Mrs. Leblanc, were waiting for him with big smiles. Kai remembered that Chinese people usually shake hands when they meet for the first time, so he held out his hand right away. To his surprise, Mrs. Leblanc took his hand and gave him two kisses, one on each side of his face. Kai's face turned red at once. He didn't know that it is a common traditional greeting for close people in France. He was so nervous that he almost stood still and couldn't say a word. Mr. Leblanc saw his confusion and smiled, "We kiss twice when we greet friends here. It doesn't mean we are being rude, it's just our custom." Later, Kai learned that people from different countries have completely different greeting ways. Japanese people bow, Maoris in New Zealand touch noses, and Americans usually give a soft hug. Now he says that understanding cultural differences is the first step to good communication with foreigners. 6. The underlined word "confusion" in Paragraph 3 probably means "____" in Chinese. A. 激动 B. 愤怒 C. 困惑 D. 开心 7. Why did Kai feel embarrassed? A. Because he couldn't speak French well. B. Because the host family didn't welcome him. C. Because the French greeting was different from what he expected. D. Because he forgot how to greet French people. 8. How do people usually greet each other with kisses in France? A. One kiss on one side B. Two kisses, one on each side C. Three kisses on the face D. Kisses on both hands 9. What can we learn from the story? A. All European countries have the same greeting custom. B. Cultural differences can never cause problems in communication. C. Exchange students should not learn foreign customs before going abroad. D. Respecting cultural differences helps people communicate better. 10. What is the best title for this passage? A. An Unforgettable Exchange Study Trip B. Different Greeting Customs in France C. An Embarrassing but Useful Cultural Experience D. How to Greet Foreign People Correctly C When people talk about cross-cultural communication, many only think about language differences. However, cultural differences in body language and daily etiquette are also very important, and they can easily cause misunderstandings if you don't know them. Take the gesture of "OK" for example. In China and most Western countries, this gesture means "everything is good". But in Brazil, Turkey, and some other countries, it is a very rude gesture that you should never use. Another example is the time for meetings. In Germany and Japan, people are always on time or even a few minutes early. If you are late for a formal meeting, it is thought to be very impolite. But in some South American countries, being 15 or 30 minutes late is quite normal, and no one will get angry. What about giving gifts? When you visit a Chinese family, you usually bring a small gift like fruit or tea, and the host will not open it right away to show politeness. But in many Western countries, hosts will open the gift in front of you and say how much they like it. That is their way to show they accept and love your gift. Many studies have shown that cultural misunderstanding is not caused by people being rude on purpose. It is just because they grow up with different cultural rules. The key to good international communication is simple: be open, learn and respect. When you travel or work with people from other cultures, learning their basic customs will help you make good friends and avoid problems. 11. Which of the following is the correct structure of the passage? (①=Paragraph 1, ②=Paragraph 2, ③=Paragraph 3, ④=Paragraph 4) A. ① → ②③ → ④ B. ① → ② → ③④ C. ①② → ③ → ④ D. ①②③ → ④ 12. What does the gesture "OK" mean in Brazil? A. It means everything is good. B. It is a rude gesture. C. It means thank you. D. It means you agree. 13. According to the passage, which of the following is true? A. All countries have the same rule about being on time for meetings. B. Western hosts never open gifts in front of the guests. C. Cultural misunderstandings are always caused by being rude on purpose. D. Learning basic customs helps avoid problems in cross-cultural communication. 14. What does the writer want to tell us? A.

In a scientific research report. B. In a story book for children. C. In a magazine about international culture. D. In an advertisement for a trip. D Food culture is an important part of every nation's tradition. When Chinese people eat with foreign friends, they often find many interesting differences between Chinese and Western table customs. In most Chinese families, people share all the dishes. Everyone uses their own chopsticks to take food from the same plates. Sometimes the host will pick food for the guests to show their warmth and friendliness. But in Western eating culture, every person has their own plate of food. Most people think it is not clean to take food from others' plates with personal cutlery. Another difference is the noise when eating. Many Chinese people think eating loudly shows that the food is delicious and you are enjoying the meal. But in most Western countries, people try not to make any noise when they eat, especially when drinking soup. Eating loudly is thought to be rude. What about paying for the meal? In China, one person usually pays for everyone, especially when the person invites others. It is not common for everyone to pay their own part. But in most Western countries, people usually split the bill, which is called "going Dutch". Everyone pays for their own food, and no one feels that they have to pay for others. These differences do not mean one culture is better than the other. They are just different habits formed over hundreds of years. If you understand the differences, you will feel more comfortable when eating with people from different cultures. More importantly, understanding these differences helps build better communication and friendship between people from different countries. 16. According to the passage, why do Chinese hosts pick food for guests? A. Because they have too much food on the table. B. Because they want to show their warmth and friendliness. C. Because guests can't reach the dishes by themselves. D. Because it is a rule that you have to do that. 17. What does the underlined phrase "going Dutch" mean? A. Inviting friends to a Dutch restaurant B. One person pays for all people C. Everyone pays their own part of the bill D. Splitting food into different plates 18. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. Chinese people usually share all dishes when eating together. B. Western people think eating loudly is a rude behavior. C. In China, one person usually pays for the whole meal. D. Western people never share any food with each other. 19. What does the writer think of these cultural differences? A. One culture is better than the other. B. They are just different habits, neither is better. C. Chinese food culture is better than Western food culture. D. Western food culture is better than Chinese food culture. 20. What would you do if you eat with a foreign friend according to the passage? A. I will ask him to follow all our Chinese customs. B. I will only follow his eating customs and forget mine. C. I will understand the difference and respect his habit. D. I will not eat with him because the customs are too different. 五、单词拼写（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分） A. 根据首字母和汉语提示写出单词的正确形式 1.

Let me share some cultural tips to help you fit in. In China, we usually shake hands or nod when meeting someone, instead of hugging or kissing. At meals, use chopsticks properly—don't stick them in rice or point at others. Wait for elders to start eating first. When receiving gifts, open them later to show you value the thought. Cross-cultural communication is fun and eye-opening. Chinese people are friendly, so don't fear small mistakes. Just stay open-minded and respectful, and you'll have a great time here.
