China is a country with a long history and rich culture. It’s also a country that is developing very fast. There are more than 1.4 billion people in China. Over the past few decades, China has changed a lot in many ways.
In the past, people lived a simple life. They didn’t have enough food to eat or enough clothes to wear. They lived in small and old houses. People usually walked or rode bikes to go out. There were few TVs, fridges or other electrical things in families.
Now, people’s lives have improved a lot. People live in big and comfortable houses. Most families have their own cars and many electrical appliances. People can buy all kinds of food and clothes in supermarkets. They can also travel around the country or even the world easily.
China has also made great progress (进步) in science and technology. Many great scientific and technological achievements (成就) have been made. We have high-speed railways, 5G technology, space stations and so on. These achievements make Chinese people proud.
China’s development surprises the whole world. As a Chinese, I believe that China will continue to develop fast and become even stronger. We will have a better life and a brighter future.

The “Go West” program is a voluntary service program. It helps less developed areas in China by sending college graduates to work there for 1 to 3 years. This national program covers education, medical care, farming technology and so on. Many areas have benefited from the program since it started in 2003, and Sheyit is among them.
Sheyit Primary School is a faraway village school in Xinjiang. Thanks to the “Go West” program, many young graduates have arrived here to help. Although they come from different places across China, they all share the common wish: to bring hope and knowledge to the children and lead them to a brighter future in this way.
Those volunteer teachers at Sheyit Primary School set clear rules in class and expect students to finish homework on time. They know that many parents are busy herding (放牧) animals and have little time to help their children with homework. So, the teachers work very hard to help the students study. “This is where I discover the true meaning of my life,” a volunteer teacher here said. “When I see my students grow through my lessons, their progress becomes my prize.”
The students also greatly treasure their teachers’ teaching and care. They describe their teachers as the sun. They love going to school so much that some even come on weekends to study!
“When active students meet selfless (无私的) teachers, improvement is only a matter of time. Our school is no longer the worst in the city,” said Jin Wenbin, the leader of Sheyit Primary School. Since 2023, the school has produced many graduates. The graduates have done very well in local exams and got into top middle schools in Xinjiang.
1.How does the program help these less developed areas in China?
2.What is the young graduates’ common wish?
3.Do many parents have much time or little time to help their children with homework?

A charity in the UK is asking people not to cut down the grass in their garden. When spring arrives, many gardeners mow (修剪) their lawns. The activity is part of a project called “No Mow May”. It helps flowers grow wild and insects breed. The purpose of No Mow May is to keep nature in balance. It is from the charity Plantlife. The charity is also asking people to count the types and number of wild flowers in their garden. Plantlife considers that leaving the grass uncut creates habitats (栖息地) which will help “bees, butterflies, wildlife and us”. Bees are a basic part of nature as they pollinate flowers. Cutting the grass means there are fewer flowers for bees and other insects to live on.
A spokesperson for Plantlife said garden lawns have the possibilities to be “biodiversity hot spots”. Last year, the charity found over 250 kinds of plants on people’s lawns. These included wild strawberries and wild eggplants. Plantlife wants people to value wild lawns more. It said people would get a nice, colorful surprise if they did not cut their grass. One gardener spoke to the BBC about the joy of wild gardens. He said people care too much about having a clean garden and use too much compost. He believes not mowing the lawn lets people reconnect with the natural world. Plantlife agreed. It said a wild garden makes you have more fun in your own garden.
1.What is the purpose of No Mow May? (不超过10个词)
2.What does cutting the grass in your garden mean? (不超过20个词)
3.What would you get if you don’t cut the grass in your garden? (不超过15个词)

Have you ever tried to enjoy a painting without looking at it? Or read a guide by using hands? For the blind (盲人), this is their daily challenge. But now, more and more museums in China are trying to help.
Take the Guangdong Museum for example. Last year, it added Braille guides (盲文导览) for blind visitors. These guides have raised dots that can be read by touching. Blind people can now “read” the introduction of each artwork by themselves. The museum also provides audio guides with clear and slow descriptions for visitors who have difficulty seeing.
For deaf visitors, the museum offers sign language videos. These videos explain the history of each exhibit in a way that is easy to follow. Some museums even have special apps on mobile phones. Deaf visitors can scan a QR code and watch a sign language interpreter on their phone screen.
Why do museums do all these? “Culture belongs to everyone and we want everyone to enjoy the beauty of art and history.” said a worker at the museum.
These changes may seem small, but they make a big difference. When everyone can visit a museum freely, the world becomes a little warmer.
1.What did the Guangdong Museum add for blind visitors last year?
2.How do blind people read the Braille guides?
3.Who can benefit from the audio guides mentioned in the passage?
4.Where can deaf visitors watch sign language videos according to the passage?
5.Why do museums provide these special services for people with disabilities?

Located in Africa, the Sahara Desert covers 30 per cent of the whole continent. Known as “the great desert” in Arabic, it is about 9 million square kilometres in size, with a history of over 4.6 million years, making it one of the oldest places in the world.
As the world’s largest hot desert, the Sahara is extremely dry and hot all year round. However, not all deserts are hot. For example, scientists regard Antarctica as a typical cold desert.
Most of the Sahara is rocky land. Besides, it also has grasslands, lakes, mountains and sand seas, which look like endless oceans of sand. When the wind blows, the sand looks like waves.
Life in the Sahara is difficult. Around 2 million people live in this area. They usually move from place to place. There is water in a few parts of the Sahara, and some people live in these places all year round.
Few animals can live in a place with such a dry and hot climate. They must adapt to survive. Camels can live for a long time without water, and can drink over 100 litres of water in just 13 minutes. Fennec foxes have large ears to help their bodies stay cool.
Today, the Sahara is getting even bigger. It is 10 per cent larger than it was a century ago. But why is it growing? Some scientists believe that part of the reason is climate change. As temperatures rise, summers in Africa grow hotter and less rain falls. Water bodies get smaller and the ground gets drier and drier. If we do not take effective measures, the desert will keep growing!
1.How old is the Sahara Desert according to the passage?
2.Where can some people live all year round in the Sahara?
3.What special ability do fennec foxes have to live in the hot desert?
4.Why is the Sahara Desert becoming bigger and bigger these days?
5.What can we humans do to stop the desert from growing?

In the near future, we may be able to taste food and drinks “online” before buying them. A new tool made by scientists at Ohio State University in the US makes it possible to share taste on the internet.
When we eat or drink, our teeth and tongues(舌头)break the food into little pieces. During this process, very small things called molecules(分子)come out of these pieces. The taste buds(味蕾)on our tongues catch these molecules and “tell” the brain about them. The brain then knows how the food tastes.
The “e-Taste” tool has two main parts. The first part works like our tongues. It checks for five special chemicals(化学成分)in food or drinks, said The Guardian. These chemicals give different flavors like sweet, sour and salty.
After getting this information, the first part can send it to the second part of the tool, even if it’s in another city. The second part then mixes the five chemicals with water to make new liquids(液体). People can taste these flavors by drinking the liquids.
Scientists believe “e-Taste” can be used in many ways to improve online experiences. For example, it can help make online classes and gaming experiences more fun.
1.Who made the new tool?
2.What catches the molecules and tells the brain about them?
3.How many parts does the “e-Taste” tool mainly have?
4.Why does the second part mix chemicals with water?
5.Would you like to try “e-Taste”? Why?

Chinese writer Wang Zengqi once wrote, “When I arrive in a new place... I prefer to visit the local farmers’ market to see live chickens and ducks, fresh vegetables and bright fruits. It’s lively and brings me a sense of the joy of life.”
Nowadays, more people feel the same. They love to explore farmers’ markets wherever they visit. These traditional markets, once just local shopping places, are attracting visitors during holidays, especially the young. They think visiting a city without walking around farmers’ markets is a waste of a trip. There they can enjoy delicious food, local culture, and the real nature of a city.
Luo Yan, a travel lover, travels around markets nationwide. In Xi’an, he enjoyed tasty Roujiamo, while in Inner Mongolia, he tasted the famous air-dried beef. Foreign travellers, too, see these markets as interesting windows into Chinese daily life. They talk with sellers though they have language difficulties, and they can’t stop trying local snacks. They are touched by the energy of Chinese daily life.
The popularity of farmers’ markets among visitors shows an important change—from a focus on scenic spots to deeper experiences of local life.

In many cultures, being a good guest is highly valued. However, what makes a good guest can be different from one country to another.
In China, guests are often treated like royalty. When you visit a Chinese home, you can expect to be offered tea, fruit, and snacks. The host will do everything to make you feel comfortable. In return, guests are expected to show appreciation and not be too demanding.
In Western countries, the guest-host relationship is often more relaxed. Guests are expected to be independent and follow the host’s routine. For example, if the host says “Make yourself at home”, it means you can feel free to get a drink or use the bathroom without asking.
One usual rule everywhere is to bring a small gift when you are invited. It shows that you value the host’s invitation. Also, it is polite to offer help with cleaning up after a meal, though the host may refuse.
When in doubt, it is always a good idea to ask. A simple question like “Is there anything I can do to help?” shows that you are considerate.
1.What can a guest expect when visiting a Chinese home?
2.In Western countries, what does “Make yourself at home” usually mean?
3.What is a usual rule for guests everywhere?
4.What should you do if you are not sure about the custom?
5.What do you think is the most important quality of a good guest? Why?
Everyone loves receiving gifts, and across cultures, presents are an important way to show care and love. However, traditions are not the same in every country.
As a European living in China, I have seen some interesting differences. For example, while fruit and milk are common gifts here, in my culture, they might be a better choice when you are visiting someone in the hospital.
When you get invited to a dinner party, a bottle of fine wine is also a good gift. Still, it’s best to check if your hosts drink wine in their daily life.
Most Europeans usually open their presents right away, except in places like Germany. It’s also important to take off the price tag before giving gifts.
What can you do if you don’t like your gift? In Spain, you still need to say you love the gift to avoid hurting the other person’s feelings. But if they remember to leave the receipt (收据) inside the gift, which is a very common practice in Spain, you can just exchange it for something else.
Regifting is another good idea, as long as the present looks new. Jennifer Molski from Chicago has turned regifting into a nice project, collecting gifts people didn’t want for those in need.
How the present looks is also important. However, by using wrapping paper for every present we buy, we produce a lot of waste. Many Germans use high-quality wrapping paper, but some of them are now choosing newspaper or maps to help the environment.
Do Europeans give money as gifts? Yes. Polish couples, for example, often request cash at weddings to cover the cost of the venue and meals.
Finally, remember: It’s the thought that counts, not the size or the cost of the gift.
1.Where does the writer come from?
2.What do most Europeans usually do after receiving presents?
3.Why do Spanish people leave the receipt inside the gift?
4.How do many Germans make their presents look so important?
5.Do you agree with regifting? Why or why not? (请自拟一句话作答)

At just 14 years old, Ryan Hickman from San Juan Hills High School, US, has made waves (引起轰动) with a beach clean-up campaign (运动). On April 20th, he and many volunteers from Project 3R, the nonprofit (非营利机构) he created, started a five-week campaign at five beaches along the Southern California coast and some in Mexico to remove trash (清除垃圾).
“The trash ends up in the ocean, and animals are eating it,” Hickman told The Orange County Register. “Picking up a piece of trash may save a turtle’s life.”
In 2012, Ryan Hickman started to pick up the trash around the beaches. Ever since then, he and some volunteers have collected about 2 million bottles and cans (金属罐) from beaches, lakes and rivers.
From a young age, Hickman had developed a love for recycling and had always liked trash trucks. He put the two interests together and began collecting recyclables (可回收物) to raise money. In 2017, Hickman gave away a $10, 000 (about 72,000 yuan) check to the PMMC after picking up 50, 000 pounds of trash and more than 200, 000 recyclable bottles.
Along with organizing volunteer cleanups, Hickman has also traveled worldwide, speaking to kids about caring for the planet and oceans. At the Ocean Institute in California, he started a program where primary school students clean local beaches and then board (登船) the institute’s teaching ship to learn about pollution’s influence.
“It’s fun,”he said.“The people I talk to may encourage them, and they might organize a cleanup, too.”
1.What has Ryan Hickman made waves with?
2.Where did Ryan Hickman and many volunteers start a five-week campaign?
3.How many bottles and cans have he and some volunteers collected since 2012?
4.How did Ryan Hickman raise money?
5.What do you think of Ryan Hickman?
Traveling to another country is exciting and fun. But if you don’t learn about local traditions, your trip may get into trouble. To help stop things like that, I list some cultural taboos (禁忌) in several countries. Let’s take a look and then you can have a great trip there.
Mexico
In Mexico, bringing an expensive gift to someone’s home is a no-no. It could be seen as a bribe (贿赂). For local people, some simple things like flowers are good gifts. But you shouldn’t take along red flowers, because in Mexican culture, they symbolize death and can be connected with witchcraft (巫术).
The US
Americans have a tradition of tipping (给小费). You can tip waiters, taxi drivers, hotel doormen…nearly anyone with a service job.
Pay attention when you talk with Americans. Questions like “How old are you?” may be common between friends. But as tourists in the US, it is not polite to ask people’s age.
Britain
British people are known for queuing (排队). From the supermarket to the underground, queues are very common in Britain. Usually, it takes a British person six months of their life in queues. If you jump the queue in Britain, you may make them angry.
Japan
You should never wear shoes indoors in Japan. When visiting someone’s home, it is rude to enter with shoes on. Shoes should be taken off at the door and replaced with indoor slippers (拖鞋). This is also the same when you try clothes on in a clothes shop. You should take off your shoes before going into the fitting room (试衣间). There are indoor shoes prepared for customers inside.
1.What are good gifts for local people in Mexico?
2.Why shouldn’t tourists ask people’s age in the US?
3.How long does it usually take a British person in queues?
4.What should you do before going into the fitting room in Japan?
5.What is the passage mainly about?
阅读下面短文,根据短文内容完成下列任务。
Do you often help people who are in need?
One day, two boys were walking along the road to school when they saw an old woman carrying a large basket of pears. The old woman looked very tired. They went up to her and said, “Are you going to town? If you are, we’ll help you carry your basket. ” “Thank you,” said the woman. “That’s very kind of you. ” Then she told them that she was going to the market to sell the pears. So the boys decided to lift the basket together. They walked slowly with the heavy basket, but they were very happy.
The other day, I saw a little girl pick up a piece of banana peel. She threw it into the dustbin(垃圾箱). “I hope nobody would throw that on the street,” she said. “Someone may slip (滑倒) and fall. ”
Perhaps some people may say that these are not great things. That’s right. But almost all great things are made up of such small things. We shouldn’t wait for the time to do great things. We should begin with these small things that are full of love.
1.Why did the old woman look very tired?
2.What did the little girl hope about the street?
3.Why was the old woman going to the market?
4.What did the little girl do with the banana peel?
5.Do you agree that we should help others by doing the small things? Why or why not?

The “Go West” program is a voluntary service program. It helps less developed areas in China by sending college graduates to work there for 1 to 3 years. This national program covers education, medical care, farming technology and so on. Many areas have benefited from the program since it started in 2003, and Sheyit is among them.
Sheyit Primary School is a faraway village school in Xinjiang. Thanks to the “Go West” program, many young graduates have arrived here to help. Although they come from different places across China, they all share the common wish: to bring hope and knowledge to the children and lead them to a brighter future in this way.
Those volunteer teachers at Sheyit Primary School set clear rules in class and expect students to finish homework on time. They know that many parents are busy herding (放牧) animals and have little time to help their children with homework. So, the teachers work very hard to help the students study. “This is where I discover the true meaning of my life,” a volunteer teacher here said. “When I see my students grow through my lessons, their progress becomes my prize.”
The students also greatly treasure their teachers’ teaching and care. They describe their teachers as the sun. They love going to school so much that some even come on weekends to study!
“When active students meet selfless (无私的) teachers, improvement is only a matter of time. Our school is no longer the worst in the city,” said Jin Wenbin, the leader of Sheyit Primary School. Since 2023, the school has produced many graduates. The graduates have done very well in local exams and got into top middle schools in Xinjiang.
1.How does the program help these less developed areas in China?
2.What is the young graduates’ common wish?
3.Do many parents have much time or little time to help their children with homework?
4.How are their teachers described as?
5.When did the Sheyit Primary School start to send many excellent graduates to top middle schools?

阅读下面短文,并用英语回答问题(请注意每小题的词数要求)。
A charity in the UK is asking people not to cut down the grass in their garden. When spring arrives, many gardeners mow (修剪) their lawns. The activity is part of a project called “No Mow May”. It helps flowers grow wild and insects breed. The purpose of No Mow May is to keep nature in balance. It is from the charity Plantlife. The charity is also asking people to count the types and number of wild flowers in their garden. Plantlife considers that leaving the grass uncut creates habitats (栖息地) which will help “bees, butterflies, wildlife and us”. Bees are a basic part of nature as they pollinate flowers. Cutting the grass means there are fewer flowers for bees and other insects to live on.
A spokesperson for Plantlife said garden lawns have the possibilities to be “biodiversity hot spots”. Last year, the charity found over 250 kinds of plants on people’s lawns. These included wild strawberries and wild eggplants. Plantlife wants people to value wild lawns more. It said people would get a nice, colorful surprise if they did not cut their grass. One gardener spoke to the BBC about the joy of wild gardens. He said people care too much about having a clean garden and use too much compost. He believes not mowing the lawn lets people reconnect with the natural world. Plantlife agreed. It said a wild garden makes you have more fun in your own garden.
1.What is the purpose of No Mow May? (不超过10个词)
2.What does cutting the grass in your garden mean? (不超过20个词)
3.What would you get if you don’t cut the grass in your garden? (不超过15个词)
【答案】1.To keep the nature in balance. 2.It means fewer flowers for insects to live on. 3.A nice, colorful surprise.
【导语】本文介绍了英国慈善机构 Plantlife 发起的“五月不剪草” 公益活动,倡导人们保留花园野草,为昆虫提供生存环境,维护自然平衡,同时让人们重新感受自然乐趣。
1. 根据第一段中 “The purpose of No Mow May is to keep the nature in balance.” 可知“to keep the nature in balance”符合题意。
2. 根据第一段中“Cutting the grass means there are fewer flowers for bees and other insects to live on.”可知“…means there are fewer flowers for bees and other insects to live on”。根据“不超过20个词”的题目要求,把“bees and other insects”概括为“insects”。
3..根据第二段中 “It said people would get a nice, colorful surprise if they did not cut their grass.” 可知“a nice, colorful surprise”符合题意。

Have you ever tried to enjoy a painting without looking at it? Or read a guide by using hands? For the blind (盲人), this is their daily challenge. But now, more and more museums in China are trying to help.
Take the Guangdong Museum for example. Last year, it added Braille guides (盲文导览) for blind visitors. These guides have raised dots that can be read by touching. Blind people can now “read” the introduction of each artwork by themselves. The museum also provides audio guides with clear and slow descriptions for visitors who have difficulty seeing.
For deaf visitors, the museum offers sign language videos. These videos explain the history of each exhibit in a way that is easy to follow. Some museums even have special apps on mobile phones. Deaf visitors can scan a QR code and watch a sign language interpreter on their phone screen.
Why do museums do all these? “Culture belongs to everyone and we want everyone to enjoy the beauty of art and history.” said a worker at the museum.
These changes may seem small, but they make a big difference. When everyone can visit a museum freely, the world becomes a little warmer.
1.What did the Guangdong Museum add for blind visitors last year?
2.How do blind people read the Braille guides?
3.Who can benefit from the audio guides mentioned in the passage?
4.Where can deaf visitors watch sign language videos according to the passage?
5.Why do museums provide these special services for people with disabilities?
【答案】1.It added Braille guides for blind visitors. 2.By touching the raised dots on the guides. 3.Visitors who have difficulty seeing can benefit from them. 4.They can watch them in the museum, or on their phone screens by scanning a QR code (through special apps). 5.Because they believe culture belongs to everyone and they want everyone to enjoy the beauty of art and history.
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了国内博物馆为听障、视障等残障游客提供的盲文导览、语音导览、手语视频等无障碍服务,传递了文化共享的理念。
【详解】1.根据第二段中“Take the Guangdong Museum for example. Last year, it added Braille guides for blind visitors.”可知,广东博物馆去年为盲人游客增设了盲文导览。答案为原文具体信息,直接提取。
2.根据第二段中“These guides have raised dots that can be read by touching.”可知,盲人可以通过触摸导览上的凸点来阅读盲文导览。适当整合原文表述即可。
3.根据第二段中“The museum also provides audio guides with clear and slow descriptions for visitors who have difficulty seeing.”可知,视力有障碍的游客可以从语音导览中受益。适当引用原文表述即可。
4.根据第三段中“For deaf visitors, the museum offers sign language videos.”可知,博物馆本身提供手语视频;同时后文补充“Some museums even have special apps on mobile phones. Deaf visitors can scan a QR code and watch a sign language interpreter on their phone screen.”,说明部分博物馆还支持通过手机扫码在手机屏幕上观看手语视频。因此完整的答案应包含这两种场景,整合原文具体方式即可。
5.根据第四段中“Culture belongs to everyone and we want everyone to enjoy the beauty of art and history.”可知,博物馆提供这些特殊服务,是因为他们认为文化属于所有人,希望每个人都能欣赏艺术和历史之美。适当引用原文表述即可。
阅读下面短文,完成短文后的问题。
Located in Africa, the Sahara Desert covers 30 per cent of the whole continent. Known as “the great desert” in Arabic, it is about 9 million square kilometres in size, with a history of over 4.6 million years, making it one of the oldest places in the world.
As the world’s largest hot desert, the Sahara is extremely dry and hot all year round. However, not all deserts are hot. For example, scientists regard Antarctica as a typical cold desert.
Most of the Sahara is rocky land. Besides, it also has grasslands, lakes, mountains and sand seas, which look like endless oceans of sand. When the wind blows, the sand looks like waves.
Life in the Sahara is difficult. Around 2 million people live in this area. They usually move from place to place. There is water in a few parts of the Sahara, and some people live in these places all year round.
Few animals can live in a place with such a dry and hot climate. They must adapt to survive. Camels can live for a long time without water, and can drink over 100 litres of water in just 13 minutes. Fennec foxes have large ears to help their bodies stay cool.
Today, the Sahara is getting even bigger. It is 10 per cent larger than it was a century ago. But why is it growing? Some scientists believe that part of the reason is climate change. As temperatures rise, summers in Africa grow hotter and less rain falls. Water bodies get smaller and the ground gets drier and drier. If we do not take effective measures, the desert will keep growing!
1.How old is the Sahara Desert according to the passage?
2.Where can some people live all year round in the Sahara?
3.What special ability do fennec foxes have to live in the hot desert?
4.Why is the Sahara Desert becoming bigger and bigger these days?
5.What can we humans do to stop the desert from growing?
【答案】1.It is over 4.6 million years old. 2.They can live in the places with water in the Sahara. 3.They have large ears to help their bodies stay cool. 4.Because of climate change. (The rising temperatures, less rain, smaller water bodies and drier land make it grow.) 5.We can plant more trees, save water and take actions to slow down climate change.

In the near future, we may be able to taste food and drinks “online” before buying them. A new tool made by scientists at Ohio State University in the US makes it possible to share taste on the internet.
When we eat or drink, our teeth and tongues(舌头)break the food into little pieces. During this process, very small things called molecules(分子)come out of these pieces. The taste buds(味蕾)on our tongues catch these molecules and “tell” the brain about them. The brain then knows how the food tastes.
The “e-Taste” tool has two main parts. The first part works like our tongues. It checks for five special chemicals(化学成分)in food or drinks, said The Guardian. These chemicals give different flavors like sweet, sour and salty.
After getting this information, the first part can send it to the second part of the tool, even if it’s in another city. The second part then mixes the five chemicals with water to make new liquids(液体). People can taste these flavors by drinking the liquids.
Scientists believe “e-Taste” can be used in many ways to improve online experiences. For example, it can help make online classes and gaming experiences more fun.
1.Who made the new tool?
2.What catches the molecules and tells the brain about them?
3.How many parts does the “e-Taste” tool mainly have?
4.Why does the second part mix chemicals with water?
5.Would you like to try “e-Taste”? Why?

In many cultures, being a good guest is highly valued. However, what makes a good guest can be different from one country to another.
In China, guests are often treated like royalty. When you visit a Chinese home, you can expect to be offered tea, fruit, and snacks. The host will do everything to make you feel comfortable. In return, guests are expected to show appreciation and not be too demanding.
In Western countries, the guest-host relationship is often more relaxed. Guests are expected to be independent and follow the host’s routine. For example, if the host says “Make yourself at home”, it means you can feel free to get a drink or use the bathroom without asking.
One usual rule everywhere is to bring a small gift when you are invited. It shows that you value the host’s invitation. Also, it is polite to offer help with cleaning up after a meal, though the host may refuse.
When in doubt, it is always a good idea to ask. A simple question like “Is there anything I can do to help?” shows that you are considerate.
1.What can a guest expect when visiting a Chinese home?
2.In Western countries, what does “Make yourself at home” usually mean?

Everyone loves receiving gifts, and across cultures, presents are an important way to show care and love. However, traditions are not the same in every country.
As a European living in China, I have seen some interesting differences. For example, while fruit and milk are common gifts here, in my culture, they might be a better choice when you are visiting someone in the hospital.
When you get invited to a dinner party, a bottle of fine wine is also a good gift. Still, it’s best to check if your hosts drink wine in their daily life.
Most Europeans usually open their presents right away, except in places like Germany. It’s also important to take off the price tag before giving gifts.
What can you do if you don’t like your gift? In Spain, you still need to say you love the gift to avoid hurting the other person’s feelings. But if they remember to leave the receipt (收据) inside the gift, which is a very common practice in Spain, you can just exchange it for something else.
Regifting is another good idea, as long as the present looks new. Jennifer Molski from Chicago has turned regifting into a nice project, collecting gifts people didn’t want for those in need.
How the present looks is also important. However, by using wrapping paper for every present we buy, we produce a lot of waste. Many Germans use high-quality wrapping paper, but some of them are now choosing newspaper or maps to help the environment.
Do Europeans give money as gifts? Yes. Polish couples, for example, often request cash at weddings to cover the cost of the venue and meals.
Finally, remember: It’s the thought that counts, not the size or the cost of the gift.
1.Where does the writer come from?
2.What do most Europeans usually do after receiving presents?
3.Why do Spanish people leave the receipt inside the gift?
4.How do many Germans make their presents look so important?
5.Do you agree with regifting? Why or why not? (请自拟一句话作答)
【答案】1.He/She comes from Europe. 2.They usually open their presents right away. 3.Because people can exchange the gift for something else with the receipt without hurting others’ feelings. 4.They use high-quality wrapping paper, or choose newspaper or maps instead. 5.I agree with regifting because it’s a good way to avoid waste and help people in need. / I don’t agree with regifting because it may hurt the giver’s feelings.

阅读下面短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
At just 14 years old, Ryan Hickman from San Juan Hills High School, US, has made waves (引起轰动) with a beach clean-up campaign (运动). On April 20th, he and many volunteers from Project 3R, the nonprofit (非营利机构) he created, started a five-week campaign at five beaches along the Southern California coast and some in Mexico to remove trash (清除垃圾).
“The trash ends up in the ocean, and animals are eating it,” Hickman told The Orange County Register. “Picking up a piece of trash may save a turtle’s life.”
In 2012, Ryan Hickman started to pick up the trash around the beaches. Ever since then, he and some volunteers have collected about 2 million bottles and cans (金属罐) from beaches, lakes and rivers.
From a young age, Hickman had developed a love for recycling and had always liked trash trucks. He put the two interests together and began collecting recyclables (可回收物) to raise money. In 2017, Hickman gave away a $10, 000 (about 72,000 yuan) check to the PMMC after picking up 50, 000 pounds of trash and more than 200, 000 recyclable bottles.
Along with organizing volunteer cleanups, Hickman has also traveled worldwide, speaking to kids about caring for the planet and oceans. At the Ocean Institute in California, he started a program where primary school students clean local beaches and then board (登船) the institute’s teaching ship to learn about pollution’s influence.
“It’s fun,”he said.“The people I talk to may encourage them, and they might organize a cleanup, too.”

Traveling to another country is exciting and fun. But if you don’t learn about local traditions, your trip may get into trouble. To help stop things like that, I list some cultural taboos (禁忌) in several countries. Let’s take a look and then you can have a great trip there.
Mexico
In Mexico, bringing an expensive gift to someone’s home is a no-no. It could be seen as a bribe (贿赂). For local people, some simple things like flowers are good gifts. But you shouldn’t take along red flowers, because in Mexican culture, they symbolize death and can be connected with witchcraft (巫术).
The US
Americans have a tradition of tipping (给小费). You can tip waiters, taxi drivers, hotel doormen…nearly anyone with a service job.
Pay attention when you talk with Americans. Questions like “How old are you?” may be common between friends. But as tourists in the US, it is not polite to ask people’s age.
Britain
British people are known for queuing (排队). From the supermarket to the underground, queues are very common in Britain. Usually, it takes a British person six months of their life in queues. If you jump the queue in Britain, you may make them angry.
Japan
You should never wear shoes indoors in Japan. When visiting someone’s home, it is rude to enter with shoes on. Shoes should be taken off at the door and replaced with indoor slippers (拖鞋). This is also the same when you try clothes on in a clothes shop. You should take off your shoes before going into the fitting room (试衣间). There are indoor shoes prepared for customers inside.
1.What are good gifts for local people in Mexico?
2.Why shouldn’t tourists ask people’s age in the US?
3.How long does it usually take a British person in queues?
4.What should you do before going into the fitting room in Japan?
5.What is the passage mainly about?
【答案】1.Some simple things like flowers, but red flowers shouldn’t be taken along. 2.Because it is not polite to ask people’s age in the US. 3.Six months./Half a year. 4.I should take off my shoes. 5.Some cultural taboos in several countries.
【导语】本文主要讲述了一些国家的文化禁忌。如果提前了解这些禁忌,旅行将会是惬意的。
1.由文中“For local people, some simple things like flowers are good gifts. But you shouldn’t take along red flowers...”可知,去墨西哥的当地人家中,像花这样简单的东西都是不错的礼物,但是不可以带红花,故填Some simple things like flowers, but red flowers shouldn’t be taken along.
2.由文中“But as tourists in the US, it is not polite to ask people’s age.”可知,在美国不应该问别人的年龄,因为这不礼貌,故填Because it is not polite to ask people’s age in the US.
3.由文中“Usually, it takes a British person six months of their life in queues”可知,此句是说一个英国人要花6个月的时间排队,故填Six months./Half a year.

阅读下面短文,根据短文内容完成下列任务。
Do you often help people who are in need?
One day, two boys were walking along the road to school when they saw an old woman carrying a large basket of pears. The old woman looked very tired. They went up to her and said, “Are you going to town? If you are, we’ll help you carry your basket. ” “Thank you,” said the woman. “That’s very kind of you. ” Then she told them that she was going to the market to sell the pears. So the boys decided to lift the basket together. They walked slowly with the heavy basket, but they were very happy.
The other day, I saw a little girl pick up a piece of banana peel. She threw it into the dustbin(垃圾箱). “I hope nobody would throw that on the street,” she said. “Someone may slip (滑倒) and fall. ”
Perhaps some people may say that these are not great things. That’s right. But almost all great things are made up of such small things. We shouldn’t wait for the time to do great things. We should begin with these small things that are full of love.
