阅读下面四篇语言材料,然后按文后要求做题。
A
Different countries have different customs. So we often say, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” Here are some things that may help you.
In South Korea, you should bow when you meet someone. People bow to show good manners and respect. The deeper the bow is, the more polite you are. In the US, people shake hands when meeting each other. They usually smile and look into others’ eyes. Handshakes are gentle and last for a short time. This polite way helps people get on well. People feel warm and friendly during the talk.
In China, it’s OK to make a lot of noise in a restaurant. However, in many Western countries, restaurants are quiet places. Paying the bill is also different from country to country. In China, one person usually pays for everyone. In Western countries, if friends eat together, they usually share the bill. This is called “go Dutch”.
In some Western countries, people usually eat lunch around 1 p.m. and eat dinner around 7 p.m. In Spain, it is common to have lunch around 3 p.m. and have dinner around 10 p.m. People from Western countries usually use knives and forks to eat food. As for soup, they usually use spoons.
If you are going to have dinner in a Western family, arrive on time. It’s better for you to prepare a gift. Sit on the left side and put the handkerchief (手帕) on your legs. Please keep quiet while enjoying your food. Never speak loudly at the dinner table.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
1. How do people in the US greet each other when they meet?

Yesterday my dad and I went hiking in the mountain. We enjoyed the fresh air and would live in the hotel room for another two days. However, I thought it’s one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life! A storm woke me up early. I got up and looked out of the window of our hotel. I listened to the thunder (雷声) and watched the lightning (闪电). It wasn’t scary at that time, but it was exciting!
But then I looked at my phone and saw on the news that a hurricane was coming. I asked my dad what a hurricane is and asked him if he knew what to do. He told me not to worry because a hurricane is just a big storm. We stayed in our hotel room and by the afternoon, there was even more rain. And the winds were getting stronger and stronger.
In the evening, a hotel worker asked all the visitors to go to the dining hall. When we were all inside, we put tables in front of the doors and then we got down on the floor together in the corner. We waited and waited. The winds got louder, the rain became heavier and then it suddenly went dark. I was so startled that I held (抓住) my dad’s hand. We stayed there for a long time.

①Do you like travelling? Have you ever heard of volunteer travel? During the trip, volunteer travellers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities. In exchange for their help, they get meals, classes or something else for free or at a lower price.
②You may think this kind of journey can only come true in these years by modern transport. But in fact, volunteer travel dates back to 1958. At that time, Alec Dickson and his wife Mora from the UK started Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) -a group providing volunteer work all over the world.
③In the past, volunteer travel usually took place in foreign countries. However, more people have taken part in volunteer trips in their own countries these years. According to Sanlian Lifeweek Magazine, volunteer trips to the countryside are attractive (有吸引力的) to people living in the city. They hope to take a rest from the fast and busy city life by doing some volunteer work in villages.
④Volunteer travel helps city people get a taste of village life. Many people are bored with the busy life in the city. They often say to themselves, “Do I need to move to the countryside for a quiet life?” Volunteer travel may help them find out the answer. What’s more, volunteer travel helps local people improve their lives. When more tourists visit the villages, they can get more jobs and make more money.
⑤Volunteer travel can not only show kindness to people in need, but also help people get different life experiences. Why not have a try next time?

【解析】
【导语】本文介绍了志愿者旅行的定义、起源、发展变化及其对城市居民和当地居民的益处。
【11题详解】
第一段首句“Do you like travelling? Have you ever heard of volunteer travel?”以两个问句开头,因此作者通过“提问”方式开始文章。
【12题详解】
第二段“volunteer travel dates back to 1958. At that time, Alec Dickson and his wife...started Voluntary Service Overseas”表明,志愿者旅行始于1958年VSO的成立。
【13题详解】
第四段首句“Volunteer travel helps city people get a taste of village life.”及后文“What’s more, volunteer travel helps local people improve their lives.”从城市居民和当地居民两方面阐述了“志愿者旅行的收获”。
【14题详解】
第①段引出话题(志愿者旅行的定义),第②至④段具体介绍(起源、变化、益处),第⑤段总结呼吁,符合“总—分—总”结构,选项D所示结构符合。
【15题详解】
全文围绕“志愿者旅行”展开,从定义、起源到益处,最后呼吁“Why not have a try next time?”,因此作者写作目的是“介绍一种特别的旅行方式”。

【36题详解】
句意:她的姑父住在一栋大房子里,但他几乎不在那里,大部分时间都留玛丽独自一人,十分无聊。leave+宾语+宾语补足语,此处需要形容词;方框内alone为形容词,意为“独自的”,leave sb. alone是固定搭配,表示“留下某人一个人”符合语境。故填alone。
【37题详解】
句意:它曾经属于姑父已故的妻子。句子缺少谓语动词,once“曾经”是一般过去时标志;belong to是固定搭配,意为“属于”符合语境,此处用belong的过去式belonged。
【38题详解】
句意:十年间没有人进入过这座花园。基数词ten后要搭配可数名词复数;year“年”符合语境,其是可数名词,此处应用其复数形式years。
【39题详解】
句意:她发现这座花园完全荒废了,杂草疯长,景象十分破败。空后neglected是形容词,需要副词修饰;complete“完全的”是形容词,符合语境,此处应用其副词形式completely表示“完全地”。
【40题详解】
句意:玛丽把这个秘密分享给新朋友迪肯,一个懂很多园艺知识的善良男孩。分析句子成分可知,空格处引导定语从句,先行词a kind boy指人,从句缺少主语,要用关系代词who或that引导从句,结合备选词,who符合语境。
【41题详解】
句意:大约在同一时间,玛丽再次听到哭声,并找到了她的表哥科林,他在母亲去世后一直独自住在一个隐蔽的房间里。主句时态为现在完成时,从句为一般过去时;连词since意为 “自从……”,用于该时态搭配,符合语境。此处since引导时间状语从句。
【42题详解】
句意:玛丽和迪肯把花园的事告诉科林,还偷偷带他去那里。空后take是实义动词,需要副词修饰;secret是名词,副词形式secretly意为“偷偷地,秘密地”,可修饰动词,此处表示“偷偷带他去那里”符合语境。故填secretly。
【43题详解】
句意:在清新空气和美丽花园里度过的时光,慢慢帮助科林恢复了体力。本句缺少主语,原形动词不能直接作主语;结合备选词可知,此处表示“在清新空气和美丽花园里度过的时光”,动词spend“度过”符合语境,此处应用其动名词形式spending作主语,句首首字母大写。故填Spending。
【44题详解】
句意:多年来,他第一次站立、行走,最终证明自己没有重病。固定短语for the first time表示“第一次”;基数词one要转换为序数词first。
【45题详解】
句意:令他大为惊讶的是,他看见科林又走又跑,还发现那座被遗忘的秘密花园重新变得生机勃勃、美不胜收。固定结构to one’s+名词;根据“he sees Colin walking and running, and discovers that the once-forgotten secret garden has become as lively and beautiful as it was when his wife was alive”可知,看到这些应该是感到惊讶的,surprise“惊讶”符合语境,to one’s surprise“令某人惊讶的是”。

【答案】46. the
47. For 48. was
49. and 50. to
【解析】
【导语】短文先解释什么是文化冲击,再以作者去年在秘鲁的亲身经历举例,对比德国与秘鲁人与人之间个人空间的文化差异,讲述自己从惊讶到好奇、乐于探索文化差异的心理变化。
【46题详解】
句意:当你体验一种新文化时,可能会有所感受,因为这种新文化与你的文化差异太大,让你感到惊讶。后面“new culture”特指上文提到的新文化,所以考虑填冠词the。
【47题详解】
句意:例如,去年我刚下飞机抵达秘鲁时就经历了这种情况。因为后面接example引出举例内容,固定搭配For example,意为“例如”,首字母大写。
【48题详解】
句意:人们站在我的左右两边,尽管公交车上还有很多空间!该句是there be句型,主语space是不可数名词,且描述的是过去发生的场景,故填符合时态和主谓一致的was。
【49题详解】
句意:但一旦我习惯了,我就对了解那里的文化变得更加好奇和感兴趣。因为前后是curious和interested两个并列的形容词,语义上是顺承关系,故填并列连词and。
【50题详解】
句意:发现这样的文化差异真是太有趣了! 因为该句是“It’s + adj. + to do sth.”的固定句式,it是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式短语,故填不定式符号to。
五、补全对话(5小题,每小题2分,共10分)
根据下面的对话情景,在每个空白处填上一个适当的句子,使对话的意思连贯、完整。
A: Hi, Lisa. I called you at 10:00 a.m. yesterday, but you didn’t answer. _______________51_______________?

【解析】
【导语】本文是一段A与Lisa的对话,先聊昨日上午打电话无人接听的缘由(Lisa胃痛看医生),再邀约Lisa本周六一起去社区中心做志愿活动,敲定集合时间地点后道别。
【51题详解】
根据下文B的回答“At 10:00 a.m. yesterday? Oh, I was seeing the doctor.”可知,A是在询问B昨天那个时间点正在做什么,因此需要使用过去进行时的特殊疑问句。
【52题详解】
根据下文B的回答“Much better now.”可知,A是在关心B目前的身体状况,故询问“你现在感觉怎么样”。
【53题详解】
根据下文B的回答“Sure, I’d love to.”可知,此处A是在邀请B一起参加周六的志愿者活动,常用句型为“Would you like to…?”。
【54题详解】
根据上文B的问句“What can we do to volunteer?”可知,此处A需要回答具体的活动内容。答案不唯一,填写合理的志愿活动即可,如清理公园、帮助老人等。
【55题详解】
根据下文A的回答“See you.”可知,对话即将结束,此处B应回应告别语。因已约定了见面时间,用“See you then.”(到时候见)更为恰当。

例文
Dear Me,
How time flies! How special it is to write to myself.
This year, I finished reading Robinson Crusoe. I learned that no matter how hard the situation is, we should never give up and always keep a brave heart to deal with problems. I also worked as a volunteer at the community old people’s home this term. I helped clean rooms, water flowers and told funny stories to the elderly there. Seeing their big smiles filled me with great joy. I learned that giving is more meaningful than getting. In the coming new term, I will keep working hard and become a better person.
Yours,
Li Hua

阅读下面四篇语言材料,然后按文后要求做题。
A
Different countries have different customs. So we often say, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” Here are some things that may help you.
In South Korea, you should bow when you meet someone. People bow to show good manners and respect. The deeper the bow is, the more polite you are. In the US, people shake hands when meeting each other. They usually smile and look into others’ eyes. Handshakes are gentle and last for a short time. This polite way helps people get on well. People feel warm and friendly during the talk.
In China, it’s OK to make a lot of noise in a restaurant. However, in many Western countries, restaurants are quiet places. Paying the bill is also different from country to country. In China, one person usually pays for everyone. In Western countries, if friends eat together, they usually share the bill. This is called “go Dutch”.
In some Western countries, people usually eat lunch around 1 p.m. and eat dinner around 7 p.m. In Spain, it is common to have lunch around 3 p.m. and have dinner around 10 p.m. People from Western countries usually use knives and forks to eat food. As for soup, they usually use spoons.
If you are going to have dinner in a Western family, arrive on time. It’s better for you to prepare a gift. Sit on the left side and put the handkerchief (手帕) on your legs. Please keep quiet while enjoying your food. Never speak loudly at the dinner table.
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
1. How do people in the US greet each other when they meet?

Yesterday my dad and I went hiking in the mountain. We enjoyed the fresh air and would live in the hotel room for another two days. However, I thought it’s one of the most unforgettable experiences of my life! A storm woke me up early. I got up and looked out of the window of our hotel. I listened to the thunder (雷声) and watched the lightning (闪电). It wasn’t scary at that time, but it was exciting!
But then I looked at my phone and saw on the news that a hurricane was coming. I asked my dad what a hurricane is and asked him if he knew what to do. He told me not to worry because a hurricane is just a big storm. We stayed in our hotel room and by the afternoon, there was even more rain. And the winds were getting stronger and stronger.
In the evening, a hotel worker asked all the visitors to go to the dining hall. When we were all inside, we put tables in front of the doors and then we got down on the floor together in the corner. We waited and waited. The winds got louder, the rain became heavier and then it suddenly went dark. I was so startled that I held (抓住) my dad’s hand. We stayed there for a long time.
Finally, morning arrived. The storm was over. I felt so happy that we were safe. I hope I will never have a night like that again.
6. The writer learned what a hurricane is ________.
A. on his phone B. in the newspaper
C. from his father D. on the computer

①Do you like travelling? Have you ever heard of volunteer travel? During the trip, volunteer travellers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal caring, and cultural activities. In exchange for their help, they get meals, classes or something else for free or at a lower price.
②You may think this kind of journey can only come true in these years by modern transport. But in fact, volunteer travel dates back to 1958. At that time, Alec Dickson and his wife Mora from the UK started Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) -a group providing volunteer work all over the world.
③In the past, volunteer travel usually took place in foreign countries. However, more people have taken part in volunteer trips in their own countries these years. According to Sanlian Lifeweek Magazine, volunteer trips to the countryside are attractive (有吸引力的) to people living in the city. They hope to take a rest from the fast and busy city life by doing some volunteer work in villages.
④Volunteer travel helps city people get a taste of village life. Many people are bored with the busy life in the city. They often say to themselves, “Do I need to move to the countryside for a quiet life?” Volunteer travel may help them find out the answer. What’s more, volunteer travel helps local people improve their lives. When more tourists visit the villages, they can get more jobs and make more money.
⑤Volunteer travel can not only show kindness to people in need, but also help people get different life experiences. Why not have a try next time?
根据材料内容选择最佳答案。
11. How does the writer start the text?
A. By telling a story. B. By listing numbers.
C. By asking questions. D. By showing an example.
12. When did volunteer travel actually begin?
A. In 1958 with the start of VSO.
B. When modern transport appeared.
C. When people moved from cities to villages.
D. After Sanlian Lifeweek Magazine reported it.
13. What’s Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. What people like to do while travelling.
B. What people can get from volunteer travel.
C. Why people choose to live in the countryside.
D. How people do volunteer work while travelling.
14. What’s the structure of the text?
A. B. C. D.
15. Why does the writer write the text?
A. To compare city life with village life. B. To help people keep away from busy life.
C. To introduce a special way of travelling. D. To describe the difficulties of volunteer work.
