Passage 18
What does a good community need? A clean park, a nice library, good public facilities ... But most importantly, it needs active community members who are willing to serve others.
In many communities in China, people now organize different voluntary service teams to solve small problems themselves. For example, in Cuiping Community in Neijiang, there are 12 different community service groups, from environmental protection to children’s after-school care.
“The community workers can’t solve every small problem in our daily life. So we decided to organize a team of neighbors to help each other,” says Li Mei, leader of the community service group. “Most volunteers are ordinary people. Some are students, some are retired workers, some are working people who have free time on weekends.”
What do these volunteers do? They clean the public areas in the community, help old people fix things in their homes, look after children whose parents are still at work after school, and organize community activities like square dancing and calligraphy classes.
A recent study shows that communities with regular voluntary services have happier people. Residents feel more connected to each other, and they feel more responsible for their community. “When everyone does a little bit, our community becomes a better place to live. That is the power of small acts of service,” Li Mei says.
1. What is the most important thing for a good community according to Paragraph 1?
A.A clean park B.A nice library
C.Good public facilities D.Active members who serve others
2. How many voluntary service teams are there in Cuiping Community?

2. 句意:他觉得这是很有趣的。
根据文章开头“When we see rubbish… a 49-year-old man from Congleton, UK, has a different idea.”可知,普通人对垃圾桶的印象是脏的,但是Andy有不同的想法,与普通人相反的看法,觉得有趣,对应选项B,boring“无聊的”、difficult“困难的”,sad“伤心的”与语境不符。

根据第六空前“‘One person told…him and his friends when he was little’”可知,这个垃圾桶曾是他和朋友的见面地点,承载了童年回忆,说明对他来说是重要的,对应选项A。

The old man 8 them and said, “My dear sons! Breaking one stick was easy for you, but you couldn’t break them in a bundle. As you can see, a bundle of sticks is 9 than one stick. If you 10 together, you will be stronger, too.” The three sons promised their father they would always work together.

【导语】本文主要讲述了一位老人通过让三个儿子折棍子的实验,生动地教导他们团结合作力量大的故事。
【详解】1. 句意:老人决定向他们展示团结合作的重要性。
根据“show them the…of working together”及文章主旨,可知老人想展示团结合作的重要性。应选用importance“重要性”,其他选项不符合语境。
2. 句意:一天,老人让儿子们聚在一起,给了每人一根棍子。
根据后文“Break it in half with your hands”,可知父亲给了每个儿子一根棍子并让其折断,gave“给”符合句意,其他选项逻辑不通。
3. 句意:儿子们拿到棍子,几秒钟就轻易地折断了。
根据“in a few seconds”及一根棍子易断的常识,可知是轻易地折断,easily“轻易地”符合语境。
4. 句意:最小的儿子说:“我是赢家。”
根据前文“His sons fought a lot”以及下文“It’s me! I won it”,可知儿子们喜欢争抢,都认为自己是赢家,winner“赢家”符合语境。
5. 句意:请安静,我亲爱的儿子们。
根据儿子们争吵及老人说游戏未结束,可知老人让他们安静,quiet“安静的”符合语境。
6. 句意:这次,你们要把整捆一起折断。
根据前文任务“Break it”及本次任务对比,可知是要折断这一捆棍子,break“折断”符合句意。
7. 句意:他的儿子们试了一次又一次,但都失败了。
根据“again and again, but they failed”,可知他们在不断尝试,tried“尝试”符合语境。
8. 句意:老人看着他们说:“我亲爱的儿子们!”
老人对儿子们说话应是看着他们,looked at“看”符合语境。
9. 句意:你们看,一捆棍子比一根棍子更结实。
根据儿子们折不断一捆棍子的事实,可知一捆比一根更结实,stronger“更结实”符合语境。
10. 句意:如果你们一起协作,你们也会变得更强大。
根据文章主旨“working together”,可知此处指团结合作力量大,work“工作/合作”符合语境。
Passage 3
先通读下面的短文,掌握其大意,然后在每小题所给的四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
Light rain continued to fall as I arrived at the mountain village. With a heavy bag on my back, I was excited to teach at a small school here, but a little 1 . What would these students be like?
The school had only 18 students. Most were quiet, 2 they ran and laughed at break. One girl, Wen, always sat alone in the corner, seldom saying anything. On my first day in the classroom, I shared with them a 3 with the words “You are seen” on it and put it up on the wall. Some smiled shyly and some spoke quietly. “That’s why I’m here,” I said. However, Wen didn’t 4 . She was just drawing circles on the desk with her finger.
Days passed quickly. The lessons were 5 planned. The children were kind. But my effort seemed to make little difference. I was not sure if I was doing anything 6 .
One night, a heavy storm caused a power cut, leaving the classroom in darkness. As everyone was frozen, a soft light appeared. It was Wen who was holding a 7 in her hand. “We can still read,” she whispered. That was the first time I heard her voice.
The next day, she sat 8 . In the following days, she began to talk more. In my last class, she came up and gave me the lantern. “So you will always have some 9 ,” she smiled gently.
I came to give light, but found it was quietly 10 . Volunteering isn’t always loud or big. Sometimes, it’s a quiet lantern—shared between the two, and shining in both directions.
1. A.bored B.relaxed C.nervous D.surprised
2. A.though B.so C.since D.when
3. A.dictionary B.poster C.cake D.cup
4. A.stand up B.give up C.wake up D.look up
5. A.slowly B.carefully C.directly D.finally
6. A.simple B.interesting C.popular D.meaningful
7. A.book B.lantern C.candle D.lamp
8. A.farther B.lower C.closer D.longer
9. A.fun B.time C.light D.hope
10. A.returned B.received C.connected D.accepted
【答案】
1. C 2. A 3. B 4. D 5. B 6. D 7. B 8. C 9. C 10. A
【导语】本文讲述志愿者老师去山村支教,起初担心学生,后被内向女孩用灯笼温暖,体现了志愿互助、双向光明的主题。
【详解】1. 句意:我兴奋地要去这里的一所小学校教书,但有点紧张。
前文说excited,后文问“这些学生会是什么样?”,说明内心有不确定和紧张。nervous“紧张”正确。bored“无聊”、relaxed“放松”、surprised“惊讶”与担心语境不符。
2. 句意:大多数学生很安静,但是他们在课间跑着笑着。
前后句意转折,though可表让步转折,意为“虽然……但是……”,正确。so“所以”、since“因为”、when“当”无法构成转折关系。
3. 句意:第一天上课,我与他们分享了一张写着“你被看见”的海报并把它贴在墙上。
根据“put it up on the wall”,poster“海报”符合贴在墙上的行为。dictionary“字典”、cake“蛋糕”、cup“杯子”通常不贴墙上。
4. 句意:然而,温没有抬头看。
根据后文“drawing circles on the desk”,她只是用手指在桌上画圈,说明没有抬头看老师或海报。look up“抬头看”正确。stand up“起立”、give up“放弃”、wake up“醒来”与动作无关。
5. 句意:课程被仔细地计划了。
根据老师努力教学,可知备课仔细。carefully“仔细地”符合备课的认真态度。slowly“慢地”、directly“直接地”、finally“最终”不符备课态度。
6. 句意:我不确定是否在做有意义的事。
根据“effort seemed to make little difference”,可知怀疑价值。meaningful“有意义的”符合作者对支教价值的怀疑。simple“简单”、interesting“有趣”、popular“受欢迎”不符语境。
7. 句意:是温,她手里拿着一个灯笼。
根据后文“gave me the lantern”,可知是lantern“灯笼”。book“书”、candle“蜡烛”、lamp“台灯”与后文呼应不符。
8. 句意:第二天,她坐得更近了。
根据关系拉近,可知坐得近。closer“更近”符合关系改善。farther“更远”、lower“更低”、longer“更长”不符关系变化。
9. 句意:“这样你就总会有一些光了,”她温柔地笑了。
根据灯笼功能及主题“give light”,可知是light“光”,与灯笼呼应。fun“乐趣”、time“时间”、hope“希望”不如light直接。
10. 句意:我来给予光,却发现光被悄悄地归还了。
根据“shining in both directions”,可知光被回馈。returned“归还”符合双向给予的寓意:作者原本想给予光,但最终女生把灯笼送给作者,相当于把光还给了他,象征善意被回馈。received“收到”没有回馈的含义,accepted“接纳”也不够贴切。connected“连接”不准确。

A Cultural Lesson
When I first arrived in Japan, I was excited but also a bit nervous. 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. 1 , he not only bowed back, but did so much more deeply. I felt a little confused.

根据“the experiment”和清理垃圾的动作可知,是在“完成”实验之后。
2. 句意:他把所有没用的东西扔进了垃圾桶。
固定搭配“put... into...”表示“把……放进……”,贴合“扔进垃圾桶”的语境。
3. 句意:他割破了手。
前文提到“one of the bottles fell from his hands. He went to pick it up”,瓶子从手中掉落,捡取时受伤部位自然是手。
4. 句意:老师迅速帮他清洗伤口并按压止血。
受伤后需紧急处理,“quickly”表示“迅速地”,符合急救场景。

He ran so fast that he didn’t see Little Deer 3 Little Deer walked out and asked, “Where are you going in such a hurry?” “To the forest to find the most beautiful natural wonder,” Little Squirrel replied and ran 4 . “The most beautiful natural wonder,” said Little Deer. “That must be a clear lake with lovely fish. I’ll go and find it.” So Little Deer 5 him. Later, they met Little Rabbit. “Where are you going in such a hurry?” asked Little Rabbit.
“To find the most beautiful natural wonder,” they shouted. “The most beautiful natural wonder,” said Little Rabbit. “ 6 is better than the warm sunshine through the leaves and the fresh wind around us.” So he stayed under the tree and enjoyed the 7 happily. Little Squirrel and Little Deer ran far and fast all day long and still they didn’t find the most beautiful natural wonder. When the 8 was over, they started back to their homes. They didn’t hurry now, because they were very tired and 9 .
They 10 Old Bird halfway home. “Did you find the most beautiful natural wonder?” asked Old Bird. “No!” They sounded unhappy. “Little Rabbit has it,” she said. “It’s enjoying the beauty around you right now. That’s the true wonder of nature.”

【导语】本文讲述小松鼠和小鹿寻找最美自然奇观,历经奔波后最终明白身边美景才是真谛的故事,启示我们要珍惜当下拥有。
【详解】1. 句意:小松鼠坐在一根树枝上,听到了那些话。
前文提到“Little Squirrel heard Old Bird say...”,此处是对此信息的重复与呼应,指小松鼠坐在树枝上听到了这些话。heard符合语境;wrote“写”、forgot“忘记”、spoke“说”均不符合逻辑。
2. 句意:小松鼠朝着森林跳了下去。
根据前文小松鼠的心理活动“it must be a tall pine with lots of pinecones! I’ll go and find it.”以及后文它对小鹿说的话“To the forest to find the most beautiful natural wonder”,可知它是往森林方向跑去。forest符合语境;tree“树(单数不合适)”、cave“山洞”、lake“湖泊”均不符合后文的目的地。
3. 句意:他跑得太快了,压根没看见小鹿,直到小鹿走出来问道:“你这么急匆匆的,要去哪儿?”
根据“didn’t see”及下文小鹿走出来,构成not...until结构意为“直到...才...”。because“因为”、although“虽然”、if“如果”均逻辑不通。
4. 句意:小松鼠回答道,并且跑得更快了。
小松鼠处于一种非常着急的状态(in such a hurry),且后文提到“Little Squirrel and Little Deer ran far and fast all day long”,说明它们都在快速奔跑,使用比较级faster强调其速度之快。slower“更慢”、more quietly“更安静地”、nearer“更近”均不符合赶时间的语境。
5. 句意:因此小鹿加入了他。
前文说到小鹿认为最美奇观是清澈的湖泊,并说“I’ll go and find it”,因此它选择和小松鼠一起结伴同行。joined sb.表示“加入某人/与某人同行”,符合语境;cheered“欢呼”、asked“询问”、visited“拜访”均不符合它们一起结伴寻找的动作。
6. 句意:“没有什么比穿过枝叶的暖阳,还有萦绕身旁的清风更美好了。”
根据后文他感到快乐(enjoyed the... happily)和最后一段老鸟的总结“It’s enjoying the beauty around you right now”可知,小兔子认为眼前的阳光和清风就是最好的,没有什么能比得上它。Nothing is better than...意为“没有什么比……更好”,符合语境;Everything“一切”、Something“某事”、Anything“任何事”均不符合这一固定逻辑比较句式。
7. 句意:于是他留在树下,快乐地享受着大自然。
小兔子享受的“阳光(warm sunshine)”和“清风(fresh wind )”都属于大自然的一部分,且契合文章主题“The Wonders of Nature”。nature符合语境;book“书”、food“食物”、game“游戏”均无法概括阳光和空气。
8. 句意:当这一天结束时,它们开始回家。
根据前文的“ran far and fast all day long(整天都在远走奔跑)”可知,这里指到了傍晚、一天的寻找结束了。day符合语境;night“夜晚”、week“星期”、month“月份”均不合理。
9. 句意:它们现在不着急了,因为它们非常累并且肚子饿了。
奔跑寻找了一整天,小动物们不仅身体疲惫(tired),由于没有吃东西,必然会感到饥饿。hungry符合常理与语境;full“饱的”、happy“快乐的”、excited“激动的”均不能与“非常累”形成并列的劳累状态。
10. 句意:它们在回家的半路上遇到了老鸟。
小动物们在回家的路上撞见了最初给它们透露消息的老鸟。met(meet的过去式)意为“遇见/遇到”,符合语境;hurt“受伤”、lost“迷路/丢失”、drove“开车/驾驶”均不符合情节发展。

【导语】本文讲述作者在大家庭中与两个哥哥性格迥异,曾因安静爱阅读而感到格格不入,但最终接纳了自己的独特,找到阅读乐趣并成为作家,启示我们珍惜生命中独特之处。
1. 句意:我和哥哥Eddie长得很像,因为我们的长相是父母相貌的完美结合。
后文“perfect combination of my mom’s and dad’s”说明是faces“长相/面孔”,符合语境。hobbies“爱好”、ideas“想法”、voices“声音”均不能由父母结合而相似。
2. 句意:然而,我确实感到与众不同。
However转折,后文说明哥哥各有所长而自己安静爱学,是感到different“与众不同的”,符合语境。angry“生气的”、pleased“高兴的”、excited“兴奋的”均不能描述因性格不同产生的格格不入感。
3. 句意:Eddie很活跃,擅长足球。
后文“good at football and often entered competitions”说明他active“活跃的”,符合语境。warm“温暖的”、brave“勇敢的”、strict“严格的”均不能对应“擅长运动、常参赛”的特征。
4. 句意:然而,我很安静,不像我的哥哥们那样外向。
与前文Tony和Eddie对比,是与brothers“哥哥们”不同,符合语境。friends“朋友”、classmates“同学”、parents“父母”均不是文中比较的对象。
5. 句意:我只想学习一切,所以花了更多时间阅读。
后文“My reading led me to start writing”说明花时间reading“阅读”,符合语境。listening“听”、talking“交谈”均不能与后文“开始写作”的因果关系对应。
6. 句意:大多数时间,我独自玩耍。
比两个哥哥小很多、被落下,是played alone“独自玩”,符合语境。seriously“严肃地”、comfortably“舒适地”、carefully“小心地”均不能描述“被哥哥落下、独自一人”的状态。
7. 句意:回顾现在,我发现虽然我与众不同,但我享受这种不同,而不是担心它。
enjoyed the difference instead of worrying about it“享受不同而不是担心它”,worrying about符合语境。waiting for“等待”、thinking about“思考”、putting off“推迟”均不能与enjoy形成“排斥与接纳”的对比。
8. 句意:我的阅读引领我开始写作。
lead sb to do sth“引领/导致某人做某事”,led符合语境。wished“希望”、asked“要求”、warned“警告”均不能表达“阅读引领我走向写作”的因果关系。
9. 句意:我安静生活的乐趣让我能在家工作,同时照顾家庭。
quiet life中的pleasure“乐趣”让作者兼顾工作与家庭,符合语境。job“工作”、book“书”、problem“问题”均不能作为“安静生活”的积极产物。
10. 句意:我们的生命中都有一些特别的东西。
接纳自我差异,每个人都有something special“特别的东西”,special符合语境。funny“有趣的”、wrong“错误的”、boring“无聊的”均不能总结“发现、热爱独特自我”的主题。

【导语】本文讲述了作者回忆台风来临时,自己和朋友Kate、Jiaming的经历,以及台风过后大家清理街道的故事,传递了自然灾害中要听从预警、注意安全的重要性。
【详解】1. 句意:我记得台风突然发生时我正在做什么。
根据 “when I was doing” 可知,when引导的时间状语从句描述过去发生的短暂动作,且句中 “suddenly” 强调动作的突发性,需用一般过去时,应填happened。
2. 句意:突然,风变得很大,雨开始下得很大。
根据 “the rain started to fall” 可知,此处需用副词修饰动词fall,应填heavily。heavy为形容词,heaviness为名词,均无法修饰动词。
3. 句意:我妈妈告诉我要远离窗户。
固定搭配stay away from表示 “远离”,应填away。near和to无法构成符合语境的搭配。
4. 句意:她打电话给妈妈问该做什么。
此处表达 “做什么”,需用疑问词what,应填what。where询问地点,when询问时间,均不符合语境。
5. 句意:另一个朋友Jiaming在台风开始时正在厨房准备午餐。
根据上下文,此处表示三者及以上中的 “另一个”,应填Another。other后需接复数名词,不符合语境。
6. 句意:他听到雨打在窗户上的声音。
根据 “rain hitting the windows” 可知,此处特指台风中的雨,需用定冠词the,应填the。
7. 句意:一些街道被水淹没了。
固定搭配be filled with表示 “充满”,需用fill的过去分词,应填filled。fill为动词原形,filling为现在分词,均无法构成被动语态。
8. 句意:第二天,我们帮忙清理了烂摊子。
固定搭配clean up the mess表示 “清理残局”,应填mess。messes为复数形式,garden不符合语境。
9. 句意:这是辛苦的工作,但帮助别人让我们感觉很好。
根据前后句逻辑,“工作辛苦” 和 “感觉良好” 为转折关系,应填but。
10. 句意:现在我知道在自然灾害中小心是多么重要。

【导语】本文讲述了“我”的姐姐的相关经历。上周末,姐姐阅读了一本中国古典小说并从中获得人生启示,周日又参与了帮助老人的志愿活动,感受到助人的快乐;之后“我”和姐姐谈论这些经历时,妈妈加入其中,分享了自己年轻时读经典、做志愿的经历,并建议“我们”多接触经典书籍、参与志愿活动;最后“我”表达了对拥有更多机会欣赏经典文学、帮助他人的期待,传递出读经典和做志愿能让人变得更好的理念。
【详解】1. 句意:上周末,她读了一本中国古典小说,还告诉我那是中国文学中最著名的作品之一。
空处描述的是“这本古典小说”的客观属性——属于中国最著名的文学作品,客观事实用一般现在时;主语it是第三人称单数,对应be动词is。was是一般过去时,用于描述过去的状态,不符;are用于复数主语,排除。
2. 句意:她说这本小说让她深受触动,并教会了她宝贵的人生道理。
空处动作发生在“她读小说、告诉我的时候”,属于过去发生的动作,需用一般过去时;moves是一般现在时(主语单数),will move是一般将来时,均不符。

空处描述的是上周日(last weekend/Sunday)志愿活动中发生的动作,属于过去的动作,需用一般过去时;bring是动词原形(一般现在时),will bring是一般将来时,均不符。
4. 句意:一些志愿者给老人读故事,另一些则帮他们打扫房子。
此处与前一句“brought”并列,均描述上周日志愿活动的动作,时态一致,需用一般过去时;read的过去式与原形同形,reads是一般现在时(主语单数),reading是现在分词(不能单独作谓语),均不符。
5. 句意:我姐姐说,帮助别人让她感到非常开心。
空处“感到开心”是姐姐在参与志愿活动后产生的感受,发生在过去(姐姐告诉“我”的时候),需用一般过去时;feel是动词原形,will feel是一般将来时,均不符。
6. 句意:当我们正在谈论她读书和做志愿的经历时,妈妈走过来加入了我们。
while引导的时间状语从句,强调“主句动作发生时,从句动作正在进行”;主句“my mother came”是一般过去时,从句需用过去进行时(was/were+doing);主语we是复数,故填were talking。talk是动词原形,talked是一般过去时(表示动作已完成)。
7. 句意:她说她年轻时读过很多经典作品,也做过志愿工作。
空处“读经典作品”发生在“她年轻时”,且早于“她说这句话”(过去的过去),需用过去完成时(had+过去分词);read是动词原形/过去式,has read是现在完成时(用于现在与过去的联系),均不符。
8. 句意:她建议我们多读经典书籍,多参加志愿活动。 固定搭配“advise sb. to do sth.”(建议某人做某事),此处需用动词不定式;read是动词原形,reading是动名词/现在分词,均不符。
9. 句意:我认为做这些事情(读经典、做志愿)能帮助我们成为更好的人。 空处描述的是“做这些事情”的客观作用,属于客观事实,用一般现在时;主语doing these things是动名词短语,视为单数,故填helps。help是动词原形,helped是一般过去时,均不符。
10. 句意:我希望我们能有更多机会欣赏经典文学、帮助别人。 “hope”(希望)后接宾语从句时,从句常用一般将来时,表示“未来的愿望”;have是一般现在时,had是一般过去时,均不符。

【详解】1. 句意:我喜欢这个主意,但我妈妈不同意。
根据前文“A neighbor advised me to learn to fish.”可知,此处特指邻居提出的那个主意,应用定冠词the表特指。a/an表泛指,不符合语境。
2. 句意:她认为靠近水很危险。
根据“…was dangerous to get close to water”可知,此处是“It is+adj.+to do sth.”,it作形式主语,指代后文的不定式短语。that/this无此用法。
3. 句意:她让我坐在桌前读一个小时书。
根据“asked me”可知,ask sb. to do sth.意为“让某人做某事”,需用动词不定式to sit。sit/sitting形式错误。

根据“just put it down and choose another one”可知,此处表示条件假设,应用If引导条件状语从句。Before/However逻辑不通。
7. 句意:多么愚蠢的皇帝啊!
根据“stupid emperor”可知,中心词emperor是单数可数名词,感叹句结构为“What a+adj.+n.!”。What后缺冠词,How后接形容词或副词,均不符。
8. 句意:随着时间的推移,我能够轻松地理解这些故事了。
根据“understand”可知,修饰动词需用副词easily。easy是形容词,easier是比较级形容词,均不符。
9. 句意:所以我开始读更长且更严肃的书。
根据“longer and…”可知,and连接并列成分,前后形式一致,需用比较级more serious。serious是原级,the most serious是最高级,均不符。
10. 句意:如果你还没有体验过阅读的乐趣,就听我叔叔的建议,去寻找合适的书。
根据“haven’t…experienced”可知,句子是现在完成时的否定句,表示“到目前为止还没有”,常用yet。just表最近,already多用于肯定句,均不符。

Passage 18
What does a good community need? A clean park, a nice library, good public facilities ... But most importantly, it needs active community members who are willing to serve others.
In many communities in China, people now organize different voluntary service teams to solve small problems themselves. For example, in Cuiping Community in Neijiang, there are 12 different community service groups, from environmental protection to children’s after-school care.
“The community workers can’t solve every small problem in our daily life. So we decided to organize a team of neighbors to help each other,” says Li Mei, leader of the community service group. “Most volunteers are ordinary people. Some are students, some are retired workers, some are working people who have free time on weekends.”
What do these volunteers do? They clean the public areas in the community, help old people fix things in their homes, look after children whose parents are still at work after school, and organize community activities like square dancing and calligraphy classes.
A recent study shows that communities with regular voluntary services have happier people. Residents feel more connected to each other, and they feel more responsible for their community. “When everyone does a little bit, our community becomes a better place to live. That is the power of small acts of service,” Li Mei says.

Passage 19
Since the Zhou Dynasty(1046 BC—256 BC), a complete etiquette system has been set. Today, many of these rules are not as strict as before. However, some are still followed on important occasions(场合) and are thought of as good examples of good manners.
Walking Etiquette
① In ancient China, while walking with someone with a higher status(地位) or an old person, one should lower one’s head, bend down, and walk a little bit behind them. If three people walk together, the elder or a teacher should be in the middle. One should bow down and walk fast using smaller steps when passing by an elder or a teacher.
Sitting Etiquette and Seating Rules
② Everyone should be sitting in a proper position at dining tables. It is based on their titles, ranks, or age. If someone doesn’t know the exact position, they should wait and follow the host’s lead. The best seat is the one that faces the east or the door. Hosts usually sit facing the west.
Bow, and Fist-and-Palm Salute(抱拳)
③ Bow, in Chinese Yi Li or Zuo Yi, means having their hands folded in front in different ways. Today, however, the simplest Zuo Yi gesture is good enough, as well as nodding, smiling, and handshaking.
④ The Fist-and-Palm Salute, is another type of Yi Li, with the fist’s right hand covered by the left hand. It first appeared in the army when people held weapons(武器) while showing respect to others. So people always use the left hand to cover the right hand that holds weapons.
1. In ancient China, which place should your teacher be when walking with you and your classmate?
A.In the middle. B.On the left. C.On the right. D.At the back.
2. Where can we put the sentence “The seating order is still widely used in family and business dinners.” in the passage?
A.① B.② C.③ D.④
3. Which of the following pictures correctly describes “the Fist-and-Palm Salute”?
A. B. C. D.
4. Why is the underlined sentence included in the last paragraph?

5. What may the writer talk about in the following paragraph?
A.Another kind of Chinese etiquette.
B.Another kind of Western etiquette.

D.Differences between Chinese and Western etiquette.
【答案】1. A 2. B 3. B 4. C 5. A
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了中国礼仪体系。文章从周朝建立完整礼仪系统讲起,指出如今许多规则虽不如以前严格,但部分仍在重要场合沿用并被视为良好礼仪的典范。内容涵盖三个方面:行走礼仪(与长辈同行时的位置与礼节)、座次礼仪(餐桌座位安排依据身份/年龄)以及作揖礼(抱拳、拱手、左掌掩右拳的含义与演变)。
【详解】1. 第一段Walking Etiquette中指出:“If three people walk together, the elder or a teacher should be in the middle.” 说明三人同行时老师应走在中间位置。
2. 该句“The seating order is still widely used in family and business dinners.”意为“座次顺序在家庭和商务宴席中仍被广泛使用”,是对Sitting Etiquette部分的总结性陈述;第②段末尾详细介绍了座位安排规则(best seat faces east or the door),此句放在②处承上启下最为恰当。
3. 第四段明确描述了Fist-and-Palm Salute(拱手礼)的动作:“with the fist's right hand covered by the left hand”,即左手覆盖右手握拳,对应图片B所示的手势。
4. 最后一段提到军队中使用左掌掩右拳的方式持武器表示尊敬,这是对前文Fist-and-Palm Salute(另一种Yi Li)的补充说明,用于提供更多相关信息。
5. 全文围绕中国礼仪展开,已介绍了行走礼仪、座次礼仪、作揖礼(含抱拳、拱手、Fist-and-Palm Salute三种),下一段自然应继续介绍其他种类的中国传统礼仪。
Passage 20
Olivia was so sad. She just couldn’t believe it! She planned to have her birthday party tomorrow at Super Cool Skateboard Park, but it seemed that a hurricane (飓风) was quickly moving to the southern part of the United States — somewhere near Miami, Olivia’s city. The storm had winds of up to 120 miles an hour, so it could be very dangerous and damaging.
Olivia’s city experienced a few hurricanes before. All the family had to prepare for it. So Olivia stopped running around with her mom doing last-minute things for her party. She helped her mom prepare their hurricane safety kit (急救包).
While Olivia and her mom were busy at the store buying things, Olivia’s dad was busy helping their neighbor, an old woman, get prepared. When he finished, he returned to their house and covered their windows with plywood (胶合板).
When all the preparations were ready, Olivia’s parents brought some things together: their important papers, some family photos, and a few clothes for everyone. They put them in their car.
Because Olivia’s grandparents live in Atlanta, Olivia and her family would leave Miami and stay with them for a few days. Hopefully, they would all be able to return soon. After all, sometimes hurricanes change direction. Olivia hoped this would happen, but she also looked forward to staying with her grandparents for a long time.
1. Why was Olivia sad?
A.Because her leg was hurt.
B.Because she had to go to school.
C.Because the weather broke her plan.
D.Because her parents couldn’t be with her.
2. What did Olivia’s mother do before leaving for Atlanta?
A.She prepared the hurricane safety kit.
B.She kept preparing for Olivia’s birthday party.
C.She helped her neighbour prepare for the hurricane.
D.She covered the windows with plywood in the house.
3. What is Olivia’s father like according to the passage?
A.Honest and kind. B.Patient and honest. C.Kind and loving. D.Polite and hard-working.
4. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Visiting her grandparents. B.Having her birthday party.
C.The family staying in Atlanta. D.The hurricane changing direction.
5. What is the best title for the passage?
A.Running for life B.A terrible hurricane
C.Preparing for a hurricane D.An unforgettable birthday party
【答案】1. C 2. A 3. C 4. D 5. C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,讲述了Olivia因飓风来袭不得不取消生日派对,并与家人一起为应对飓风做准备,最后决定前往亚特兰大祖父母家暂住的故事。
【详解】1. 第一段“She planned to have her birthday party tomorrow... but it seemed that a hurricane (飓风) was quickly moving...”给出答案:因为飓风(天气问题)来袭,Olivia的生日派对计划被打乱了,所以她很难过。
2. 第二段“She helped her mom prepare their hurricane safety kit (急救包).”说明Olivia的妈妈在准备飓风急救包。
3. 第三段“Olivia’s dad was busy helping their neighbor, an old woman, get prepared.”指出爸爸忙于帮助年迈的邻居做准备,这体现了他的善良和爱心。
4. 最后一段“After all, sometimes hurricanes change direction. Olivia hoped this would happen...”可知,划线词“this”指代的是前一句提到的内容,即“飓风改变方向”,这样他们就能很快回家了。
5. 文章主要围绕Olivia一家为应对飓风所做的各项准备工作展开,包括准备急救包、购买物品、加固窗户、整理重要物品以及撤离计划等,所以C选项“为飓风做准备”作为标题最恰当。

8. 句意:虽然没有人是完美的,但是每个人也都拥有自己的天赋。前后两句是让步逻辑关系,需要连词表“虽然”,匹配方框单词although,注意句首单词首字母需大写。
9. 句意:《论语》也有着相似的观点。主语The Analects of Confucius为单数书名,句子陈述客观事实,为一般现在时,空处动词需用单三形式;have“有”的单三形式has符合“《论语》也有着相似的观点”的语境。
10. 句意:从这本书中我们学到,如果人们在某些方面有才能,我们应该给他们机会。固定短语in some ways表示“在某些方面”,需要介词in。
