B Many years ago, I had my first chance to visit Russia. “Russians are a very polite people,” I had been told before my arrival. One of my friends explained that a gentleman will pour the lemonade for the ladies and show other good manners (礼貌). Toward the end of my three-week trip, I was invited by my Russian friend Nicolai Vasilyevich and his wife Yulya out to dinner. At the end of a wonderful meal, Yulya asked if I would like a banana. I politely declined (婉谢) and thanked her, and explained I was most satisfied (满意) with the meal. But my mind was racing: “What should I do? Should I offer her a banana though they are as close to her as they are to me? What is the polite thing to do?” “Would you like a banana?” I asked Yulya. “Yes,” she smiled, but didn’t try to take any of the three bananas in the fruit basket. “Which one would you like?” I asked again. “That one,” she pointed at one of the bananas. So thinking about Russian politeness, I picked the banana Yulya had pointed at. Then I peeled it half way and handed it to her. Smiles on Yulya’s and Nicolai’s faces told me I had done the right thing. After this experience, I spent much time letting the world know that in Russia, the polite thing was to peel bananas for ladies. However, sometime during my third trip I learned I was wrong. “Oh no, David,” a Russian politely corrected me. “In Russia, when a man peels a banana for a lady, it means he has a romantic (浪漫的) interest in her.” How embarrassed (尴尬) I felt. So to communicate (交流，沟通) properly with people of different cultures, we should watch carefully how people of the same culture communicate with each other. Besides, don’t be afraid to ask questions about their culture. 29. The underlined word “peeled” in Paragraph 6 means _________. A. took the skin off something B. put something back C. made something clean D. cut something in two 30. Which of the following seems to be TRUE according to the passage? A. The writer’s third trip lasted about three weeks. B. Russian gentlemen never peel bananas for ladies. C. The writer tried to follow Russians’ behavior in Russia. D. Yulya was pleased with the writer’s behavior but Nicolai wasn’t. 31. The writer wrote the passage mainly to _________. A. show us how polite Russian people are B. tell us his funny experience in Russia C. ask us to care about cultural differences D. remind (提醒) us what we should do in Russia C On Dec.25, 2021, a new, exciting age of space science started as NASA launched the James Webb Space Telescope (望远镜). “Webb will change our understanding of space as we know it,” said NASA. According to NASA, Webb is the world’s largest and most powerful telescope. The old Hubble Space Telescope mostly sees what we see—visible light. But Webb sees infrared (红外线的) light, which the human eyes can’t see. That means Webb can see through dust in the universe and make new discoveries by examining stars inside those dust clouds. It will look at the first light after the Big Bang (宇宙大爆炸) which created our universe, as well as how young stars grow. The telescope will also takes a closer look at what the atmosphere (大气层) of some other planets is made of. It can give scientists clues of possible life forms. Webb “sees” by using mirrors to collect light from the universe. The bigger the mirror is, the more it can see. The telescope is as tall as a three-story building and as big as a tennis court. It is so big that it has to fold its mirrors to fit inside the rocket. The telescope flew 29 days to reach its orbit (轨道) which is more than 1.6 million kilometers away from the earth. After six months, it sent back its first picture. The building of the telescope started in 2004. About 40 million hours of work, thousands of scientists from 14 countries, 10 billion dollars and 1 heavy-lift rocket made it all possible. Now it’s ready to help us answer key questions, such as where we came from and whether we’re alone in the universe. 32. What makes the Webb telescope different from Hubble? A. Webb can see visible light. B. Webb can see infrared light. C. Webb can see through stars in the universe. D. Webb can discover stars in the universe. 33. What might Webb look at in the universe according to paragraph 3? A. How the Big Bang happened. B. How young stars came into being. C. What other planets in the universe are made of. D. Whether there are other life forms out there. 34. What is used to help Webb work? A. Mirrors that can be folded. B. A three-story building to hold it. C. A tennis court to launch Webb. D. A rocket that can fit inside Webb. 35. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The importance of building Webb. B. The result of building Webb. C. What it cost to build Webb. D. What qualities Webb has. 五、信息还原根据文章内容，从选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卷上写下正确的答案，其中有两个为多余选项。（本大题共10分，每小题2分） Everything went black! All the lights in our flat turned off, including the TV.
