I knew that bowing is a common way to greet people there. One day, I met my Japanese host father’s friend. Remembering what I had learned, I bowed politely. ____11____, he not only bowed back, but did so much more deeply. I felt a little confused. My host father later explained that the length and depth of a bow can carry different ____12____. My quick bow was fine for a young person, while his deeper bow meant more respect. I realized that even a simple gesture can be deeply meaningful. Another time at dinner, I lifted my bowl to drink the last of my soup, as I usually do at home.

These ____15____ taught me that crossing cultures is not just about language. It’s about watching, understanding, and respecting the “small things” in daily life.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述作者在日本的经历，通过鞠躬和喝汤两个事例，说明了跨文化交流中尊重习俗和从错误中学习的重要性。 【11题详解】 句意：作为回应，他不仅回鞠了躬，而且鞠得更深。 我先鞠躬问好，对方作为回应回鞠，In return“作为回应”，符合语境。In fact“事实上”、In total“总共”、In time“及时”都不符合。 【12题详解】 句意：寄宿父亲后来解释说，鞠躬的长度和深度可以承载不同的含义。 后文提到不同深度的鞠躬代表不同程度的尊重，因此鞠躬的深浅传递不同含义，meanings“含义”，符合文意。result“结果”、culture“文化”、reason“原因”都不符合。 【13题详解】 句意：我突然注意到每个人都奇怪地看着我。 我做出不符合当地习惯的动作，大家奇怪地看着我，looking at me符合发现别人注视自己的情境。 【14题详解】 句意：我感到很尴尬。 无意间做错礼仪被指出后，自然会感到尴尬，embarrassed“尴尬的”，符合逻辑。relaxed“放松的”、proud“骄傲的”、confident“自信的”都不符合。 【15题详解】 句意：这些经历教会了我，跨文化不仅仅是关于语言。 上文提到的鞠躬、用餐两件事都是作者的亲身经历，experiences“经历”，符合语境。supply“供应”、disaster“灾难”、condition“条件”都不符合。 【16题详解】 句意：犯错没关系，但从中学到东西更重要。 前文说犯错没关系，后文说从错误中学习更重要，前后是转折关系，用but连接。 【17题详解】 句意：这将帮助你避免误解并与不同背景的人建立真正的友谊。 尊重和开放的心态能帮我们远离误解，stay away from“远离”，符合语境。get along“相处”、go on“继续”、beat against“撞击”都不符合。 【18题详解】 句意：这将帮助你避免误解并与不同背景的人建立真正的友谊。 build friendship“建立友谊”，是固定表达，符合语境“和不同背景的人建立真正的友谊”。break“打破”、refuse“拒绝”、forget“忘记”都不符合。 【19题详解】 句意：记住，当你身处一种新的文化环境中时，要仔细观察，如果不确定，要礼貌地询问。 空后内容是空前内容的条件，if“如果”，引导条件状语从句，符合逻辑。unless“除非”、because“因为”、though“虽然”都不符合。 【20题详解】 句意：只要他们看到你在努力学习并尊重他们的习俗，大多数人都会很乐意为你解释。 全文围绕跨文化交际的礼仪习俗展开，这里指尊重对方的习俗，customs“习俗”，符合语境。food“食物”、time“时间”、weather“天气”都不符合。 Ⅳ.阅读理解（共15小题，计15分） 第一节：阅读下面A、B、C三篇材料，从所给的四个选项中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的一个最佳答案。（共10小题，计10分） A Read the following notice for an international student event. ●School International Week: “Safe & Connected” ●Goal: Learn to stay safe in nature and understand friends from other cultures. ●Part 1: Safety Skills (Monday & Tuesday) ·Lecture: What to do during an earthquake or a rainstorm. (School Hall, 3:00 PM) ·Activity: Make your own simple emergency box. (Science Room 201. 4:30 PM) ·Film: Storm Chasers — See how scientists study wild weather. (Reading Room, 6:00 PM) ●Part 2: Culture Sharing (Wednesday & Thursday) ·International Fair: Try foods, see traditional clothes, and play games from different countries. (Playground, 2:00-5:00 PM) ·Guest Speaker: Mr. Chen, who lived in Japan for 10 years, will talk about “Bowing and More: Daily Life in Japan”. (Room 301, 3:30 PM) ·Friendship Wall: Write a message to a new international friend. (Main Building Lobby, all week) ●Important for All: ·For the Safety Lecture, please arrive on time. Seats are limited. ·For the International Fair, you can wear traditional clothes from your family’s culture. ·Always be respectful and friendly. Ask questions if you are not sure about a custom. 21. Where should you go to learn how to make an emergency box? A. School Hall. B. Science Room 201. C. The Reading Room. D. The Playground. 22. What is the “Friendship Wall” for? A. Learning about earthquakes. B. Trying different foods. C. Leaving messages for new friends. D. Listening to a guest speaker. 23. The word “Lecture” in the notice most probably means a ________. A. place to make things B. time for playing games C. talk for teaching something D. movie about science 【答案】21. B 22. C 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一则关于学校“国际周”活动的通知，主题为“安全与连接”。活动分为两部分：第一部分侧重自然安全知识（如地震、暴雨应对及制作应急包），第二部分侧重文化交流（如国际集市、日本生活讲座及友谊墙）。 【21题详解】 根据“Part 1: Safety Skills”部分中的活动安排：“Activity: Make your own simple emergency box. (Science Room 201. 4:30 PM)”，可知制作应急包的活动地点在科学教室201（Science Room 201）。 【22题详解】 根据“Part 2: Culture Sharing”部分中的描述：“Friendship Wall: Write a message to a new international friend.”，可知“友谊墙”的作用是给新朋友留言。 【23题详解】 “Lecture”出现在“Safety Skills”部分，内容是“What to do during an earthquake or a rainstorm”（地震或暴雨时该怎么做），这属于知识传授。因此，“Lecture”最可能的意思是“用于教学知识的讲座/演讲”（talk for teaching something）。 B We all know that language can be a problem in communication, but have you ever thought about the “silent language” — body language? Gestures (手势), facial expressions, and how we use personal space can mean very different things in different cultures. Misunderstanding this “silent language” can sometimes lead to trouble. Let’s look at some common examples. The “OK” gesture , made by forming a circle with your thumb (大拇指) and index finger, means “good” or “okay” in many countries like the USA. However, in Brazil and Germany, it can be very rude. The “thumbs-up” gesture is positive in America and China, but in parts of the Middle East, it’s a rude sign. Eye contact is another interesting one. In North America and Europe, keeping eye contact shows you are honest and paying attention. In some Asian cultures, too much direct eye contact, especially in formal situations can be seen as disrespectful. Even how close you stand to someone sends a message. People from “contact cultures” like those in Latin America or the Middle East like to stand closer when talking. People from “non-contact cultures” (非接触文化) like those in Northern Europe or Japan prefer more personal space. If someone from a non-contact culture steps back during a conversation, they might not be rude; they might just need more space to feel comfortable. Understanding these differences doesn’t mean you have to change your own habits completely. It means understanding and being respectful. When you are with people from another culture, noticing how they act can be a good guide. Remember, a warm smile is a piece of body language that is almost always understood the right way around the world. 24. According to Paragraph 2, what should you AVOID doing during a business meeting in Japan to show respect? A. Smiling warmly from time to time. B. Keeping a comfortable personal space. C. Looking directly into your partner’s eyes for a long time. D. Using the “OK” gesture to agree with an idea. 25. What does the writer mean by saying “a piece of body language that is almost always understood the right way” in the last paragraph? A. Some body language is very simple to learn. B. A smile usually sends a positive and friendly message everywhere. C. People all over the world use the same body language. D. It is always right to use body language instead of words. 26. The writer writes this passage mainly to ________. A. list all the different body languages in the world B. warn people never to use body language in foreign countries C. show that understanding cultural differences in body language is important D. explain why people from Latin America like to stand closer 27. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. When in Rome, Do as the Romans Do B. The Dangerous Body Language C. How to Make Friends in Different Countries D. Body Language: The“Silent Language” Across Cultures 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了作为 “无声语言” 的肢体语言在不同文化中的差异，以及理解这些文化差异的重要性。 【24题详解】 根据第二段 “In some Asian cultures, too much direct eye contact, especially in formal situations can be seen as disrespectful.” 可知日本属于亚洲文化，商务场合长时间直视对方眼睛会被视作不尊重，是需要避免的行为。 【25题详解】 最后一段提到 “a warm smile is a piece of body language that is almost always understood the right way around the world”，意思是温暖的微笑在世界各地几乎都能被正确解读，通常传递积极友好的信号，对应B选项。 【26题详解】 文章先点明误解肢体语言会引发麻烦，举例说明不同文化里手势、眼神、个人空间的差异，最后强调要理解并尊重这些差异，写作目的是说明理解肢体语言的文化差异很重要。 【27题详解】 全文围绕跨文化场景下的肢体语言（无声语言）展开介绍，D选项最贴合主题。 C One in every ten people in the world is left-handed. It is a simple fact, like having brown hair. But for much of history, being left-handed was not seen that way. Left-handers were often forced to use their right hands. Why did something so natural seem like a problem? First, the world is built for the right-handed. Scissors, desks, doors- most things are easier to use with the right hand. So, when a left-handed person uses them, they can seem clumsy (笨拙) or slow. It is easy to think, “This person is not good with tools,” instead of thinking, “These tools are not made for them.” The first idea says the person is wrong. The second idea says the tool. For a long time, people chose the first idea. Second, stories and old ideas made it worse. In many languages, the word for “left” was connected to bad things like weakness or bad luck. People also used their right hand for “clean” actions like eating, and their left hand for “dirty” ones. These old habits, repeated over time, made left-handedness seem not just different, but actually wrong. Now, we know better. Science tells us that which hand you use is mostly decided before you are born. It is not a choice or a mistake. We also see left-handers doing great things in sports, art, and science. This new discovery and these good examples have slowly changed people’s minds. Today, fewer people think being left-handed is a problem. The real story here is not about hands. It is about how we see anyone who is different. When we see something unusual, our first feeling is often to call it “wrong.” But if we stop and ask “why,” we might find there is no real problem at all—only a difference. Understanding this can help us be kinder, not just to left-handers, but to everyone. 28. In the past, why did left-handed people often seem “clumsy”? A. Because they did not practice using their hands enough. B. Because most things they used were designed for right-handed people. C. Because they were often nervous when other people watched them. D. Because they were born with less skill than right-handed people. 29. In Paragraph 4, the writer talks about “science” and “good examples” mainly to explain ________. A. how to become left-handed B. the real reasons why left-handers are clever C. why people’s ideas about left-handers started to change D. what schools should teach about left-handed people 30. How does the writer organize the whole passage to make his point? A. By telling a personal story from beginning to end. B. By giving examples of problems and then their solutions. C. By describing a social fact, discussing the reasons, and then moving to a lesson. D. By listing facts and numbers. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了左撇子这一客观的社会生理现象，探讨了历史上人们对左利手产生偏见和歧视的原因，并结合现代科学和实例呼吁大众应当包容和善待每一个与众不同的人。 【28题详解】 根据第二段中“First, the world is built for the right-handed. Scissors, desks, doors- most things are easier to use with the right hand. So, when a left-handed person uses them, they can seem clumsy…”可知，在过去，左撇子的人之所以显得有些笨拙，是因为生活中的绝大多数日常用品（如剪刀、课桌、门等）都是专门为习惯使用右手的人设计的，左撇子使用起来并不方便。 【29题详解】 根据第四段中“Science tells us that…We also see left-handers doing great things in sports, art, and science. This new discovery and these good examples have slowly changed people’s minds.”可知，作者提到现代科学的客观发现以及左撇子人群在各行各业取得的非凡成就，主要是为了解释为什么人们对左撇子的偏见和看法开始逐渐发生转变。 【30题详解】 通读全文可知，第一段首先描述了“世界上有十分之一的人是左撇子，但在历史上其常被视作问题”这一社会客观事实；第二、三段进一步分析了产生这一偏见背后的社会设计与语言文化原因；第四、五段引入现代科学的看法，并在最后一段将话题升华，得出“我们应该如何看待与众不同的人，从而更友善地对待每一个人”这一深刻的人生启示，因此，文章是通过“描述社会事实 →讨论原因 →升华至人生启示”的逻辑顺序组织全篇的。 第二节：（共5小题，计5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。 How to Make a Good First Impression Meeting new people can be exciting but also a little scary. You want people to like you. Making a good first impression is important and it’s not as hard as you think. Here is some simple advice. First, be on time. ____31____ It shows that you are responsible and that you respect the other person’s time. If you are going to be late, try to call or send a message. Second, dress neatly and cleanly. You don’t need to wear expensive clothes. ____32____ Clean and tidy clothes tell people that you care about the situation and about yourself. Third, stand or sit up straight. ____33____ It makes you look more confident and energetic. Slouching can make you seem tired or not interested. Also, facing the person you’re talking to, rather than turning away, shows that you are focused on them. Fourth, listen carefully when the other person is talking. ____34____ Ask a question or two about what they said. Both of these show that you are really interested in them. Finally, be yourself. Don’t try to act like someone else. People can usually tell if you are not being real. ____35____ That is the most attractive thing of all. Follow these easy tips, and you will find that making new friends-and getting along with people becomes much easier. A. It is polite to let others finish their sentences. B. Arriving a few minutes early is even better. C. Good listening is more important than good talking. D. Being honest and true to yourself makes people feel comfortable. E. Good posture (仪态) shows confidence and respect. F. Just make sure your clothes are clean and fit the occasion. G. Nod your head while listening to show you understand. 【答案】31. B 32. F 33. E 34. G 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了如何给人留下良好的第一印象，提供了准时、着装、仪态、倾听和做自己等五条建议。 【31题详解】 根据文章第二段“First, be on time.（首先，要准时。）”及后文“It shows that you are responsible（这表明你是负责任的）”可知，此处强调时间观念，选项B“早到几分钟甚至更好”符合语境，是对准时的进一步建议。 【32题详解】 根据文章第三段“Second, dress neatly and cleanly.（第二，穿着整洁干净。）”及后文“Clean and tidy clothes tell people that you care about the situation（干净整洁的衣服告诉人们你在乎这个场合）”可知，此处强调着装要求，选项F“只要确保你的衣服干净且适合场合”与上下文逻辑一致。 【33题详解】 根据文章第四段“Third, stand or sit up straight.（第三，站直或坐直。）”及后文“It makes you look more confident and energetic（这让你看起来更自信精力充沛）”可知，此处讲的是身体姿态，选项E“良好的仪态显示自信和尊重”中的posture与stand or sit up straight对应，符合语境。 【34题详解】 根据文章第五段“Fourth, listen carefully when the other person is talking.（第四，当别人说话时仔细听。）”及后文“Ask a question...Both of these show that you are really interested in them（问一个问题……这两者都表明你对他们真的很感兴趣）”可知，空白处应为一个表示倾听的具体动作，且同为祈使句，选项G“听的时候点头表明你理解了”符合语境。 【35题详解】 根据文章第六段“Finally, be yourself.（最后，做你自己。）”及前文“People can usually tell if you are not being real（人们通常能看出你是否真实）”可知，此处强调真诚做自己，选项D“诚实和忠于自己让人们感到舒适”与be yourself主题契合。 V.完成句子：根据汉语意思，用单词或短语完成下列英文句子。（共10小题，计20分） 36. 上周五夜里，我正在酣睡时，一声巨响惊醒了我。 Last Friday night, I was ______________ when a loud noise suddenly woke me up. 【答案】sleeping soundly 【解析】 【详解】原句中“酣睡”是关键词，表示“酣睡”的短语是sleep soundly。本句为过去进行时，结构为“was/were+现在分词”，故填sleeping soundly。 37. 当我冲下楼时，上气不接下气的，我看到地下室被水淹了。 When I rushed downstairs, ___________, I saw the basement get flooded. 【答案】out of breath 【解析】 【详解】原句中“上气不接下气的”是关键词，表示“上气不接下气的”短语是out of breath。该短语填入两个逗号之间，在句中作状语，用来形容主语I在冲下楼后的身体状态。语义通顺，符合英语表达习惯。 38. 就在此时，我察觉到隔壁有些异样。 Just then, I noticed _____________ coming from next door. 【答案】something strange 【解析】 【详解】原句中“有些异样”是关键词，“有些异样”对应“某些奇怪的事情”，表示“某事”的不定代词是something，表示“奇怪的”形容词是strange，修饰不定代词需后置。 39. 他们的警报器响了！ Their alarm ____________! 【答案】went off 【解析】 【详解】原句中“响了”是关键词，表示警报器、火警等“响了”的短语是go off，原句中“响了”表示动作已经发生。强调动作发生在过去，用一般过去时，go变为过去式went，即went off。 40. 没有时间可浪费了，我快速回顾了应急方案。 There was no time to waste. I ____________ the emergency plan. 【答案】quickly reviewed 【解析】 【详解】原句中“快速”和“回顾”是关键词，表示“快速的”副词是quickly，表示“回顾”的动词是review。根据前一句“There was no time to waste”可知，本句时态应用一般过去时，动词review的过去式为reviewed。副词quickly常置于动词之前进行修饰，从而构成一般过去时态下的“quickly reviewed”。 41. 我先打电话求助，并把地上的东西移开。 I called for help first and _____________ the floor. 【答案】moved things off 【解析】 【详解】原句中“把东西移开”是关键词，表示“把……移开”短语是move...off，“东西”翻译为things，句中前半部分“I called for help first”使用了一般过去时，连词and连接并列的谓语动词，因此横线处的动词也需用过去式，即move变为moved，故填moved things off符合语法和原句句意。 42. 之后，我提醒邻居们为洪水做准备。 After that, I warned my neighbors to ____________ the flood. 【答案】prepare for 【解析】 【详解】对比中英文句子，横线处需要翻译中文里的“为……做准备”。在英语中，固定搭配prepare for意为“为……做准备”。句子使用了warn sb. to do sth.的结构，意为“提醒某人做某事”。不定式符号to后面必须接动词原形。prepare for符合语境。 43. 许多保安立即行动帮助大家撤离。 Many security guards _____________ at once to help us escape. 【答案】took action 【解析】 【详解】原句中“行动”是关键词，表示“行动”的短语是take action。根据句意“帮助大家撤离”可知，这是在描述过去已经发生的具体事件，因此谓语动词应使用一般过去时，take的过去式是took。故此处应填took action。 44. 结果，所有的家庭都成功转移到安全场所。 _____________, all the families made it to safety. 【答案】As a result 【解析】 【详解】原句中“结果”是关键词，表示“结果”的介词短语是as a result，在句中作状语。句首字母需大写。 45. 那天晚上我学到的最重要的一课是：实用的知识在紧急情况下是无价的。 The most important lesson I learned that night was that practical ________ is priceless in an emergency. 【答案】knowledge 【解析】 【详解】原句中“知识”是关键词，“知识”的英文单词是knowledge，不可数名词，没有复数形式（不能加s），作主语时谓语动词用单数。句中谓语动词是is，符合主谓一致原则。practical knowledge意为“实用的知识”，符合语境逻辑。 VI.短文填空：（共10小题，计10分） 用方框中所给单词的适当形式填空，使短文完整正确。 (每个单词限用一次，每空限填一个单词) man one this in proper real share knock culture show A Traditional Wedding (婚礼) in My Hometown Last month, I had the honor of attending my cousin’s wedding in the countryside. It was not just a ceremony. It was a lesson in the local ____46____. The wedding perfectly mixed modern styles with ancient customs.

This custom is meant to test the ____49____ patience and honesty. The most impressive part was the tea ceremony. The new couple served tea to their elders in a very ____50____ manner, kneeling down and offering the cups with both hands. By doing so, they ____51____ respect. My uncle, now got ____52____ emotional and shared some advice. He said that a happy marriage requires both sides to get used to ____53____ housework. What surprised me was that some younger guests didn’t know ____54____ traditional practices. They watched with great curiosity, as if seeing them for the ____55____ time. It made me realize that while we enjoy modern life, it’s equally important to understand and pass on our roots. 【答案】46. culture 47. in 48. knocking 49. man’s 50. proper 51. showed 52. really 53. sharing 54. these 55. first 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了作者在老家参加一场传统乡村婚礼的经历，展现了当地传统婚俗与现代风格的融合，以及婚礼中蕴含的文化内涵与对传承传统文化的思考。 【46题详解】 句意：这不仅是一场仪式，更是一堂关于当地文化的课。根据上下文，婚礼是当地传统习俗的体现，方框中的“culture”符合语境，指“当地文化”。其他单词均不符合“local+名词”的语义搭配。 【47题详解】 句意：婚礼当天，三十多岁的新郎和一群朋友来到新娘家。固定表达“in one’s thirties”表示“在某人三十多岁时”，方框中的介词“in”符合这一固定搭配。其他单词均无法构成该固定短语。 【48题详解】 句意：他们没有直接敲门，而是唱起了老歌。根据常识，接亲时有敲门的习俗，方框中的“knock”符合语境；又因“instead of”后需接动名词形式，故变为“knocking”。 【49题详解】 句意：这个习俗是为了考验男人耐心和诚实。前文提到新郎来接亲，因此考验的是“男人的”耐心与诚实，方框中的“man”需变为所有格形式“man’s”。 【50题详解】 句意：新人以非常得体的方式向长辈敬茶，跪下双手递杯。敬茶是传统礼仪，需用“恰当的、得体的”方式，方框中的“proper”符合语境，修饰名词“manner”。 【51题详解】 句意：通过这样做，他们表达了尊重。敬茶的动作是为了表达对长辈的尊重，方框中的“show”符合语境；又因全文为过去时态，故变为“showed”。 【52题详解】 句意：我的叔叔变得情绪十分激动，分享了一些建议。根据语境，婚礼场景中长辈情绪会变得“十分，非常”激动，方框中的“real”需变为副词形式“really”，修饰形容词“emotional”。 【53题详解】 句意：他说幸福的婚姻需要双方习惯分担家务。根据常识，婚姻中双方需要“分担”家务，方框中的“share”符合语境；又因“get used to doing sth.”后需接动名词形式，故变为“sharing”。 【54题详解】 句意：让我惊讶的是，一些年轻的客人不了解这些传统习俗。前文提到婚礼中的传统习俗，此处指“这些”传统习俗，方框中的“this”需变为复数形式“these”，修饰复数名词“practices”。 【55题详解】 句意：他们带着极大的好奇观看，仿佛是第一次看到它们。固定表达“for the first time”表示“第一次”，方框中的“one”需变为序数词形式“first”。 Ⅶ.任务型阅读：（共5小题，计10分） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，完成下列各题。 Have you ever worried about making mistakes when talking with people from other countries? New technology is trying to solve this problem. A translation earphone is a small device that fits in your ear. It has many benefits: such as translating spoken words from one language to another in almost real-time. This sounds like something from a science fiction movie, but it is becoming real. However, technology alone is not enough for perfect cross-cultural communication. Language is deeply connected to culture. For example, in Japan, people often use indirect and polite expressions. A direct translation might sound rude. In some cultures, certain hand gestures or eye contact have special meanings that a machine might not understand. Therefore, even with a translation earphone, users still need to learn about basic local customs and *etiquette. These devices are very helpful in places like international airports, hotels, and business meetings. They can break down language barriers quickly. But remember, they are tools to help communication, not replace human understanding. The best way to connect with people from different cultures is still to learn their language and respect their traditions. *tips: “etiquette” means the formal rules of correct or polite behavior in society. 56. What is a translation earphone according to Paragraph 1? It is a _______________________ that fits in the ear. 57. According to Paragraph 2, what should users do besides using the earphone? They should also learn about _______________________. 58. In Paragraph 3, which word in the passage means “障碍”? It is “_______________________” 59. Why might the earphone NOT work well in Japan according to the passage? Because Japanese people often use _______________________ while direct translation might sound rude. 60. What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage? To explain both the _______________________ and the problems of translation technology. 【答案】56. small device 57. basic local customs and etiquette 58 barriers 59 indirect and polite expressions 60. advantages##benefits 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了翻译耳机这一新技术的功能和优点，同时指出了其在跨文化交流中的局限性，强调了了解当地习俗和礼仪的重要性。 【56题详解】 第一段直接定义了“a translation earphone”：“A translation earphone is a small device that fits in your ear.”因此答案是原文直接提取的信息。 【57题详解】 第二段结尾明确提到：“Therefore, even with a translation earphone, users still need to learn about basic local customs and etiquette.”这是原文给出的用户除了使用耳机之外还需要做的事，直接提取即可。 【58题详解】 第三段出现了“break down language barriers quickly”，结合中文释义“障碍”，可以确定对应的单词是“barriers”，这是原文直接信息匹配。 【59题详解】 第二段举例说明日本的语言特点：“For example, in Japan, people often use indirect and polite expressions. A direct translation might sound rude.”因此答案是原文直接引述的信息。 【60题详解】 全文既介绍了翻译耳机的好处（实时翻译、打破语言障碍等），也提到了它的局限性（无法理解文化差异、不能替代对当地习俗的了解）。因此作者的写作目的是解释翻译技术的优点/好处（advantages/benefits）和问题，这是对全文主旨的概括总结。 Ⅷ.交流与表达（共1小题，计5分） 补全对话。（共5小题，计5分） 根据下面对话中的情境，在每个空白处填入一个适当的语句，使对话恢复完整。 Li Hua: Hey Peter, Mr. Li is making dumplings at his house this weekend.

Li Hua: There is one more thing. Remember, it’s polite to make a little sound if you’re eating noodles. It shows you enjoy the food. 【答案】61. Would you like to go with me 62. do you know about the manners 63. What do you think of it 64. Can you use chopsticks 65. Anything else 【解析】 【导语】本文是Li邀请Peter一同赴约，以及拜访朋友的相关礼仪的对话。 【61题详解】 根据前一句“He invited us.”以及下文Peter的回答“Sure, I’d like to go with you.”可知，此处应是邀请Peter一同赴约，可用“Would you like to go with me?”。 【62题详解】 根据下文Peter的回答“Manners? Oh, I don’t know.”可知，此处应是询问Peter是否了解拜访当地朋友的相关礼仪。 【63题详解】 根据前一句“I might bring a bottle of wine to the party.”以及下文Li Hua的回答“Actually, fruit or tea is better than wine.”可知，此处应是在征求 Li Hua 的意见，询问带酒是否合适。 【64题详解】 根据下一句“We’ll probably eat with chopsticks.”以及下文以及Peter的回答“I’m still learning, but I’ll try my best to eat with chopsticks.”可知，此处应是在询问Peter是否会使用筷子。 【65题详解】 根据下文Li Hua的回答“There is one more thing. Remember, it’s polite to make a little sound if you’re eating noodles. It shows you enjoy the food.”可知，此处应是询问Li Hua还有没有其他需要注意的事项。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 八年级英语练习（二） 第一部分（听力 共20分） Ⅰ.听选答案（共15小题，计15分） 第一节：听下面10段对话，每段对话后有一个问题，读两遍。请根据每段对话的内容和后面的问题，从所给的三个选项中选出问题的正确答案。（共10小题，计10分） 1.

(School Hall, 3:00 PM) ·Activity: Make your own simple emergency box. (Science Room 201. 4:30 PM) ·Film: Storm Chasers — See how scientists study wild weather.

Seats are limited. ·For the International Fair, you can wear traditional clothes from your family’s culture. ·Always be respectful and friendly. Ask questions if you are not sure about a custom. 21. Where should you go to learn how to make an emergency box? A. School Hall. B. Science Room 201. C. The Reading Room. D. The Playground. 22. What is the “Friendship Wall” for? A. Learning about earthquakes. B. Trying different foods. C. Leaving messages for new friends. D. Listening to a guest speaker. 23. The word “Lecture” in the notice most probably means a ________. A. place to make things B. time for playing games C. talk for teaching something D. movie about science B We all know that language can be a problem in communication, but have you ever thought about the “silent language” — body language? Gestures (手势), facial expressions, and how we use personal space can mean very different things in different cultures. Misunderstanding this “silent language” can sometimes lead to trouble. Let’s look at some common examples. The “OK” gesture , made by forming a circle with your thumb (大拇指) and index finger, means “good” or “okay” in many countries like the USA. However, in Brazil and Germany, it can be very rude. The “thumbs-up” gesture is positive in America and China, but in parts of the Middle East, it’s a rude sign. Eye contact is another interesting one. In North America and Europe, keeping eye contact shows you are honest and paying attention. In some Asian cultures, too much direct eye contact, especially in formal situations can be seen as disrespectful. Even how close you stand to someone sends a message. People from “contact cultures” like those in Latin America or the Middle East like to stand closer when talking. People from “non-contact cultures” (非接触文化) like those in Northern Europe or Japan prefer more personal space. If someone from a non-contact culture steps back during a conversation, they might not be rude; they might just need more space to feel comfortable. Understanding these differences doesn’t mean you have to change your own habits completely. It means understanding and being respectful. When you are with people from another culture, noticing how they act can be a good guide. Remember, a warm smile is a piece of body language that is almost always understood the right way around the world. 24. According to Paragraph 2, what should you AVOID doing during a business meeting in Japan to show respect? A. Smiling warmly from time to time. B. Keeping a comfortable personal space. C. Looking directly into your partner’s eyes for a long time. D. Using the “OK” gesture to agree with an idea. 25. What does the writer mean by saying “a piece of body language that is almost always understood the right way” in the last paragraph? A. Some body language is very simple to learn. B. A smile usually sends a positive and friendly message everywhere. C. People all over the world use the same body language. D. It is always right to use body language instead of words. 26. The writer writes this passage mainly to ________. A. list all the different body languages in the world B. warn people never to use body language in foreign countries C. show that understanding cultural differences in body language is important D. explain why people from Latin America like to stand closer 27. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. When in Rome, Do as the Romans Do B. The Dangerous Body Language C. How to Make Friends in Different Countries D. Body Language: The“Silent Language” Across Cultures C One in every ten people in the world is left-handed. It is a simple fact, like having brown hair. But for much of history, being left-handed was not seen that way. Left-handers were often forced to use their right hands. Why did something so natural seem like a problem? First, the world is built for the right-handed. Scissors, desks, doors- most things are easier to use with the right hand. So, when a left-handed person uses them, they can seem clumsy (笨拙的) or slow. It is easy to think, “This person is not good with tools,” instead of thinking, “These tools are not made for them.” The first idea says the person is wrong. The second idea says the tool. For a long time, people chose the first idea. Second, stories and old ideas made it worse. In many languages, the word for “left” was connected to bad things like weakness or bad luck. People also used their right hand for “clean” actions like eating, and their left hand for “dirty” ones. These old habits, repeated over time, made left-handedness seem not just different, but actually wrong. Now, we know better. Science tells us that which hand you use is mostly decided before you are born. It is not a choice or a mistake. We also see left-handers doing great things in sports, art, and science. This new discovery and these good examples have slowly changed people’s minds. Today, fewer people think being left-handed is a problem. The real story here is not about hands. It is about how we see anyone who is different. When we see something unusual, our first feeling is often to call it “wrong.” But if we stop and ask “why,” we might find there is no real problem at all—only a difference. Understanding this can help us be kinder, not just to left-handers, but to everyone. 28. In the past, why did left-handed people often seem “clumsy”? A. Because they did not practice using their hands enough. B. Because most things they used were designed for right-handed people. C. Because they were often nervous when other people watched them. D. Because they were born with less skill than right-handed people. 29. In Paragraph 4, the writer talks about “science” and “good examples” mainly to explain ________. A. how to become left-handed B. the real reasons why left-handers are clever C. why people’s ideas about left-handers started to change D. what schools should teach about left-handed people 30. How does the writer organize the whole passage to make his point? A. By telling a personal story from beginning to end. B. By giving examples of problems and then their solutions. C. By describing a social fact, discussing the reasons, and then moving to a lesson. D. By listing facts and numbers. 第二节：（共5小题，计5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。 How to Make a Good First Impression Meeting new people can be exciting but also a little scary.
