【1题详解】
句意:观看人形机器人与年轻武术家一起表演中国传统功夫令人兴奋,这使它成为今年春晚最热门的话题之一。
固定句型It is + 形容词 + to do sth.,it作形式主语,真正主语是后面to watch不定式;this/that无此固定用法,there不用于该句型。
【2题详解】
句意:观看人形机器人与年轻武术家一起表演中国传统功夫令人兴奋,这使它成为今年春晚最热门的话题之一。
固定结构one of + the + 形容词最高级 + 可数名词复数,表示“最……之一”;hot最高级为hottest,必须加the。
【3题详解】

【14题详解】
句意:在未来,此类技术将被广泛应用于教育、公共服务和日常生活等领域。
in the future用一般将来时;technologies和use是被动关系,将来时被动语态结构:will be + 过去分词 used。

二、阅读(共两节,满分35分)

阅读下列短文3篇,从26 ~ 40各题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Many people think space is cold, quiet and boring. However, China’s Tiangong Space Station gives us a different answer. For Chinese taikonauts, the space station is not only a place for science work, but also a warm home with many fun activities. The wonderful life in space also shows the great progress of China’s space industry.
One unforgettable highlight in Tiangong is the space barbecue. In 2025, Chinese scientists created a special smokeless oven for space use. Astronauts from Shenzhou-20 and Shenzhou-21 cooked tasty chicken wings and steak. They baked the food at 180℃ for 28 minutes. Because of the special zero-gravity environment, the food slowly floats and turns around. Six astronauts shared the delicious hot food together, just like having a happy party in space.
Besides enjoying hot meals, astronauts are also hard-working “space gardeners”. There is a small high-tech farm inside the space station. Up to now, astronauts have planted several kinds of plants, such as lettuce, small tomatoes and sweet potatoes. They use special lights to help plants grow and take good care of them every day. So far, they have harvested more than 4.5 kilograms of fresh vegetables. What’s amazing is that lettuce and tomatoes can grow from seeds and finally produce new seeds in space. This is an important success for long-time space living.
Space life is full of warmth, especially during Chinese traditional festivals. Now astronauts have over 190 kinds of space food to choose from. During the Spring Festival, Tianzhou cargo spaceships sent special gifts and festival food to the station. Astronauts could put up Spring Festival couplets, write calligraphy and eat floating dumplings. These familiar foods made them feel less lonely far away from home.
26. What do many people think space is like?
A. Cold and noisy. B. Warm and funny. C. Silent and boring. D. Special and amazing.
27. How long did astronauts bake food for the space barbecue?
A. For 18 minutes B. For 28 minutes C. For 180 minutes D. For 190 minutes
28. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Special lights. B. Space stations. C. Space gardeners. D. Different plants.
29. Why is space life full of warmth during traditional festivals?
A. Astronauts can go back home. B. Many plants grow in the station.
C. The temperature turns warmer and warmer. D. Astronauts enjoy festival food and activities.
30. Where can we most probably read this article?
A. In a science magazine. B. In a travel guide.
C. In a gardening report. D. In a storybook.
【答案】26. C 27. B 28. D 29. D 30. A
【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了中国空间站“天宫”里中国航天员丰富多彩、温馨有趣的太空生活,展示了中国航天事业的发展与科技进步。
【26题详解】
根据第一段第一句“Many people think space is cold, quiet and boring.”可知,许多人认为太空是寒冷、安静且无聊的。
【27题详解】
根据第二段中“They baked the food at 180℃ for 28 minutes.”可知,他们将食物在180℃下烤了28分钟。
【28题详解】
根据第三段中“…astronauts have planted several kinds of plants, such as lettuce…They use special lights to help plants grow and take good care of them every day.”可知,前句提到航天员们种植了几种植物,随后的句子指出他们利用特殊的灯光帮助植物生长并每天悉心照料它们,因此代词“them”指的是前文提到的那些“不同的植物”。
【29题详解】
根据第四段中“During the Spring Festival, Tianzhou cargo spaceships sent special gifts and festival food to the station. Astronauts could put up Spring Festival couplets, write calligraphy and eat floating dumplings.”可知,在春节期间,天舟货运飞船送去了特别的礼物和节日食物,航天员们可以贴春联、写书法并吃飘浮的水饺,这说明他们享受了节日美食与传统活动。
【30题详解】
文章围绕天宫航天生活展开科普,属于科学类内容,因此最可能刊登在科学杂志。
B
It was March and the English Week at Sunshine Middle School arrived. This year was the Year of the Horse, and students learned horse proverbs.
Li Ming, a shy Grade 8 student, was terrible at speaking English. He was afraid of being laughed at. When Ms. Wang announced a speech contest, Li Ming wanted to try but gave up. “I can’t do it,” he thought.
On the first day of the English Week, Li Ming saw a poster “No pain, no gain.” Ms. Wang’s words echoed (回响) in his mind “Like a horse, you must run hard to reach the finish line because practice makes perfect.” Li Ming was so excited that he decided to finish his speech. He wanted to do everything quickly—he even planned to practice a hundred times that night. So he wrote a short speech about the Year of the Horse and practiced in front of a mirror again and again. His little sister laughed and said to him, “Hold your horses.” But he didn’t want to slow down at all.
The contest day came. Li Ming’s hands were sweating. When his name was called, he walked onto the stage. He spoke fast—and made a mistake. His face turned red. He wanted to run away. But then he saw Ms. Wang smiling at him. He took a deep breath and kept going. He talked about overcoming fear and how the Year of the Horse gave him courage. He quoted some proverbs. When he finished, the room burst into applause. Li Ming couldn’t believe it. In the end, he won the third prize. He almost cried with joy.
After the contest, a classmate whispered (悄悄地说), “Li Ming, you used the wrong proverb just now. ‘No pain, no gain’ isn’t about horses.” Li Ming froze. Then he laughed. “Maybe not. But I still gained something—courage.” Ms. Wang heard this and smiled. “Exactly. Every horse thinks its own pack heaviest. You worked hard and you made it.”
From the English Week, Li Ming learned that mistakes don’t matter, but trying does.
31. Why did Li Ming give up the speech contest at first?
A. He had no time to prepare. B. He feared being laughed at.
C. He disliked speaking in public. D. He knew he would make mistakes.
32. What does the underlined phrase “Hold your horses” mean?
A. Be quick. B. Be patient. C. Ride a horse. D. Keep quiet.
33. What is the correct order of the following events?
a. Li Ming walked onto the stage with sweating hands.
b. Li Ming was scared of joining the speech contest.
c. Li Ming prepared his speech and practised at home.
d. Li Ming was told that he used a wrong proverb.
e. Li Ming won the third prize of the contest.
A. b-c-a-e-d B. b-a-c-e-d
C. c-b-a-d-e D. c-a-b-e-d
34. How did Li Ming’s feelings change in the story?
A. shy → bored → surprised B. excited → nervous → sad
C. worried → angry → relaxed D. afraid → encouraged → joyful
35. What is the main idea of the story?
A. Good speakers should join English contests.
B. Horse proverbs are difficult for Li Ming to learn.
C. Courage and effort matter more than being perfect.
D. Shy students should try their best at English Week.
【答案】31. B 32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了害羞的李明起初畏惧英语演讲比赛,之后受到谚语鼓舞认真准备参赛,过程出现失误依旧坚持完成演讲收获奖项,最终领悟相较零失误的完美表现,尝试、付出努力以及拥有勇气更为重要的故事。
【31题详解】
第二段给出了放弃比赛的缘由:“He was afraid of being laughed at”,这直接说明李明一开始放弃演讲比赛,是因为他害怕自己遭到他人嘲笑。
【32题详解】
第三段交代了短语语境:“He wanted to do everything quickly... But he didn’t want to slow down at all”,妹妹说出“Hold your horses”用来劝说急于赶进度的李明放缓节奏,因此这个短语的含义是“保持耐心(Be patient)”。
【33题详解】
顺着文章情节排序可得先后顺序:第二段发生事件b“Li Ming was scared of joining the speech contest”,第三段发生事件c“Li Ming prepared his speech and practised at home”,第四段发生事件a“Li Ming walked onto the stage with sweating hands”,第四段后半段发生事件e“Li Ming won the third prize of the contest”,第五段发生事件d“Li Ming was told that he used a wrong proverb”,最终排序为b-c-a-e-d。
【34题详解】
梳理全文多处细节可以得出情绪走向:第二段“He was afraid of being laughed at”体现一开始的害怕;第三段李明被老师的话语鼓舞重拾参赛的信心;第四段拿到奖项之后“He almost cried with joy”展现出喜悦的心情,因此情绪变化是afraid→encouraged→joyful。
【35题详解】
最后一段点明主旨:“Li Ming learned that mistakes don’t matter, but trying does”,结合参赛经历能够看出故事想要表达勇气与付出的努力,比起做到事事完美更加重要。
C

The Chinese white dolphin is one of the most lovely sea animals in the world. ____41____ Baby dolphins are grey at birth. As they gradually grow up, their colour turns white or even light pink. Because they are extremely rare and precious, people kindly call them “sea pandas”.
____42____ They prefer staying close to the shore and swimming slowly in small groups. These dolphins are friendly and intelligent. They can make different sounds to communicate with one another and search for food. Small fish are their main diet.
Different from many deep-sea creatures, they never live far out in the ocean. ____43____ However, serious water pollution, heavy boat traffic along the coast, and the decreasing number of small fish have greatly destroyed their living conditions. Their population is dropping fast. ____44____
These lovely dolphins are beautiful angels of the sea. ____45____ We should try our best to keep the ocean clean, protect their living homes, and reduce human disturbance. Only by working together can we let these precious sea pandas live safely and happily in the sea forever.

【解析】
【导语】本文主要介绍了中华白海豚的外观特征、生活习性、当下严峻的生存困境,最后呼吁大众采取举措保护这一珍稀海洋动物。
【41题详解】
根据后文“Baby dolphins are grey at birth.As they gradually grow up, their colour turns white or even light pink”详细描述海豚成长过程中的肤色变化,可知空白处要引出中华白海豚特别的肤色这一特点。C选项“It is well-known for its special skin colour.”契合下文对肤色的展开介绍,符合语境。
【42题详解】
根据后文“They prefer staying close to the shore and swimming slowly in small groups”说明了海豚偏爱近海栖息的生活特点,可知此处需要引出它们主要的栖息区域。D选项“Chinese white dolphins mainly live in warm coastal waters.”介绍了中华白海豚的主要生存地带,能够顺畅引出下文生活习性的细节,符合语境。
【43题详解】
根据前文“they never live far out in the ocean”点明海豚不会去往远海,后文转折指出水污染、船只往来等因素破坏了它们的生存条件,可知空白处应当交代海豚对居住环境的要求。E选项“They need a clean and quiet living environment.”说明了海豚宜居环境的标准,能够顺畅衔接后文环境遭到破坏的转折内容,符合语境。
【44题详解】
根据前文“Their population is dropping fast.”交代中华白海豚的数量正在快速下降这一严峻现状,可知此处需要写出该现状带来的后续结果。B选项“So they are listed as first-class protected animals in China.”借助因果逻辑,说明因此它被列为国家一级保护动物,符合上下文逻辑。
【45题详解】
根据后文“We should try our best to keep the ocean clean, protect their living homes, and reduce human disturbance”罗列了一系列具体的保护举措,可知空白处需要引出保护海豚的责任。A选项“It is our duty to protect them.”提出保护海豚是我们的责任,自然引出下文具体的保护做法,符合语境。

____46____ Li Na is welcoming a new exchange student from the UK to her class. She wants to greet him in a friendly way without standing too close.
____47____ Wang Tao is playing in a basketball match against another school. He wants to show his teammates that they did a great job after scoring a point.

____49____ Zhang Wei is studying in the school library and sees his best friend. He wants his friend to come over quietly without making any noise.
____50____ Lin Fang is going to Japan for a winter school trip soon. She wants to show her respect when she meets the local Japanese teachers.
A. Shaking hands: Shaking hands is a very common greeting in many Western countries like the UK. You just hold the other person’s right hand and move it gently up and down. It shows that you are open, friendly and polite.
B. Nodding: Nodding your head up and down usually means “yes” or “I agree” in China. However, you should be careful when you travel to countries like Bulgaria or Greece. In those places, nodding actually means “no”!
C. Bowing: Bowing is a very important way to show respect in Asian countries. People bend their bodies forward to say hello, goodbye, or thank you. The deeper you bow, the more respect you show to others.
D. Thumbs up: Putting your thumb up is a popular sign for “good job” in the US and China. But you should not use it in some Middle Eastern countries. In those places, this hand sign is seen as a very rude gesture.
E. Waving someone over: To ask someone to come over, you can wave your hand with the palm (手心) facing down. This is a very common gesture in many Asian countries.
【答案】46. A 47. D
48. B 49. E

【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了不同国家的肢体语言差异,通过五位同学遇到的不同情境,介绍了握手、点头、鞠躬、竖大拇指和招手等肢体语言在不同文化背景下的含义和用法。
【46题详解】
Li Na需要友好迎接来自英国的交换生,同时保持合适距离。A选项“Shaking hands: Shaking hands is a very common greeting in many Western countries like the UK.”提到握手在英国等西方国家是非常常见的问候方式,“You just hold the other person’s right hand and move it gently up and down. ”恰好符合保持距离的要求,符合语境。
【47题详解】
Wang Tao在篮球赛得分后,想要向队友表达称赞与鼓励。D选项“Thumbs up: Putting your thumb up is a popular sign for ‘good job’ in the US and China.”明确指出竖大拇指表示“good job”,与“did a great job”完全对应,符合语境。
【48题详解】
Chen Hua认真倾听外教提问,内心认同老师观点,但性格害羞不敢大声说话。B选项“Nodding: Nodding your head up and down usually means ‘yes’ or ‘I agree’ in China.”提到点头在中国通常表示“yes”或“I agree”,恰好适合她无声表达同意的方式,符合语境。
【49题详解】
Zhang Wei身处图书馆,想要安静招手让好友过来,全程不能制造噪音。E选项“Waving someone over: To ask someone to come over, you can wave your hand with the palm facing down. This is a very common gesture in many Asian countries.”提到手心朝下挥手叫人过来,挥手动作本身无需发声,符合“without making any noise”的要求符合语境。
【50题详解】
Lin Fang 即将前往日本参加冬季研学,见到当地老师时想要表达敬重。C选项“Bowing: Bowing is a very important way to show respect in Asian countries.”明确指出鞠躬在亚洲国家是表示尊重的重要方式,“The deeper you bow, the more respect you show to others.”也与“show her respect”呼应,符合语境。

【解析】
【导语】本文主要通过李乐乐和王昊然在旅行社兼职时的不同遭遇,由杨先生向其解释了肢体语言在人际沟通中的关键作用。
【51题详解】
句意:他们俩都在一家旅行社有兼职工作。此处需要一个形容词,在句中作定语修饰名词“jobs”。根据前句中的“university students”以及常识可知,大学生在旅行社做的工作通常是“兼职的”,所以选择part-time表示“兼职的”。
【52题详解】
句意:一位穿着讲究的女士走进了办公室。此处需要一个动词,在句中作主语“lady”的谓语。根据后文中的“looked”、“walked”等动词可知,本段叙述的是过去发生的动作,应用一般过去时。结合语境,一位女士“进入”了办公室。所以选择entered表示“进入”。
【53题详解】
句意:她兴奋地说:“早上好,女士!”此处需要一个副词,在句中作状语修饰动词“said”。根据空前的“Lele looked excited”可知,她当时感到非常兴奋和开心,说话时的语气是十分愉快高兴的,所以选择cheerfully表示“高兴地”。
【54题详解】
句意:杨先生,也就是老板,问道:“怎么了?”此处需要一个名词,在句中作“Mr Yang”的同位语。根据前文杨先生主动走过来开导员工的语境,结合备选项可知,他是这家旅行社的老板,所以选择boss表示“老板”。
【55题详解】
句意:“我根本没有开口说话的机会。”此处需要一个单数可数名词,在句中作及物动词“get”的宾语。因为“get a chance to do sth.”为固定搭配,意为“得到做某事的机会”,所以选择chance表示“机会”。
【56题详解】
句意:“沟通的含义远不止开口说话。”此处需要一个动词,在句中作主语动名词“Communicating”的谓语。根据后文“Your body language is important too.”可知,此处表示“沟通所包含/意味着的不仅仅是说话”,主语为单数,所以选择means表示“意味着”。
【57题详解】
句意:“还有你的手势,以及你脸上的表情。”此处需要一个名词,被“on your face”修饰。根据句意和常识可知,“脸上的表情”是沟通的重要组成部分,名词“expression”需用复数形式与并列的名词“gestures”保持一致,所以选择expressions表示“表情”。
【58题详解】
句意:“昊然,你没能给别人留下好印象。”此处需要一个名词,在句中作及物动词“give”的宾语。因为“give sb a good impression”为固定短语,意为“给某人留下好印象”,所以选择impression表示“印象”。
【59题详解】
句意:“她始终抬着头。”此处需要一个现在分词,在句中与“is”一起构成现在进行时。因为“hold one’s head up”为固定搭配,意为“抬起头”,所以选择holding表示“抬起,保持”。
【60题详解】
句意:昊然仔细观察了乐乐一阵子,随后决定改善自己的肢体语言。此处需要一个动词,在句中作主语“Haoran”的谓语。根据后半句的“decided”可知,本句叙述的是过去发生的动作,应用一般过去时,表示“仔细观察了乐乐一会”,所以选择observed表示“观察”。
第二节 语法填空 (共 5 小题,每小题 1 分,满分 5 分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入一个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
I’m now very old and near the end of my life. ____61____ I can still remember many many years ago, I lived with my mother, aunts and cousins in a wild and beautiful land. We ____62____ (enjoy) our time under the deep blue sky. We had more than enough to eat. We never worried about anything until one day, when I was about three.
On that day, ____63____ group of two-legged strangers appeared in front of us — I found out later that they were humans. Without ____64____ (warn) they raised their guns and shot dead my mother and several of my relatives. As I was about to be shot, one of them said, “Keep that little one. He’s handsome and seems smart. We can make greater use ____65____ him.” I was then trained and forced to do all kinds of stupid tricks to make humans laugh.
【答案】61. But
62. enjoyed
63. a 64. warning
65. of
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一只野生动物悲惨的回忆。
【61题详解】
句意:但我仍然能记得许多年前,我和母亲、阿姨以及表亲们生活在一块狂野而美丽的土地上。前后两句之间存在转折关系,此处应填入表示转折的连词But,表示虽然我现在老了,但我依然记得过去。
【62题详解】
句意:我们在深蓝色的天空下享受我们的时光。根据上下文“lived”、“had”可知,整段回忆描述的是过去发生的事情,时态为一般过去时,因此填入enjoy的过去式enjoyed。
【63题详解】
句意:在那一天,一群两足陌生人出现在我们面前——我后来才知道他们是人类。由于group是单数可数名词,此处表示泛指,因此填入不定冠词a,a group of“一群”。
【64题详解】
句意:没有任何警告,他们举起枪,打死了我的母亲和几个亲戚。without为介词,其后需接动词的-ing形式,因此填入warning,without warning意为“毫无预警地”。
【65题详解】
句意:我们可以更好地利用他。make use of是固定短语,意为“利用”,故填of。

Many people think space is cold, quiet and boring. However, China’s Tiangong Space Station gives us a different answer. For Chinese taikonauts, the space station is not only a place for science work, but also a warm home with many fun activities. The wonderful life in space also shows the great progress of China’s space industry.
One unforgettable highlight in Tiangong is the space barbecue. In 2025, Chinese scientists created a special smokeless oven for space use. Astronauts from Shenzhou-20 and Shenzhou-21 cooked tasty chicken wings and steak. They baked the food at 180℃ for 28 minutes. Because of the special zero-gravity environment, the food slowly floats and turns around. Six astronauts shared the delicious hot food together, just like having a happy party in space.
Besides enjoying hot meals, astronauts are also hard-working “space gardeners”. There is a small high-tech farm inside the space station. Up to now, astronauts have planted several kinds of plants, such as lettuce, small tomatoes and sweet potatoes. They use special lights to help plants grow and take good care of them every day. So far, they have harvested more than 4.5 kilograms of fresh vegetables. What’s amazing is that lettuce and tomatoes can grow from seeds and finally produce new seeds in space. This is an important success for long-time space living.
Space life is full of warmth, especially during Chinese traditional festivals. Now astronauts have over 190 kinds of space food to choose from. During the Spring Festival, Tianzhou cargo spaceships sent special gifts and festival food to the station. Astronauts could put up Spring Festival couplets, write calligraphy and eat floating dumplings. These familiar foods made them feel less lonely far away from home.
26. What do many people think space is like?
A. Cold and noisy. B. Warm and funny. C. Silent and boring. D. Special and amazing.
27. How long did astronauts bake food for the space barbecue?
A. For 18 minutes B. For 28 minutes C. For 180 minutes D. For 190 minutes
28. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A. Special lights. B. Space stations. C. Space gardeners. D. Different plants.
29. Why is space life full of warmth during traditional festivals?
A. Astronauts can go back home. B. Many plants grow in the station.
C. The temperature turns warmer and warmer. D. Astronauts enjoy festival food and activities.
30. Where can we most probably read this article?
A. In a science magazine. B. In a travel guide.
C. In a gardening report. D. In a storybook.

It was March and the English Week at Sunshine Middle School arrived. This year was the Year of the Horse, and students learned horse proverbs.
Li Ming, a shy Grade 8 student, was terrible at speaking English. He was afraid of being laughed at. When Ms. Wang announced a speech contest, Li Ming wanted to try but gave up. “I can’t do it,” he thought.
On the first day of the English Week, Li Ming saw a poster “No pain, no gain.” Ms. Wang’s words echoed (回响) in his mind “Like a horse, you must run hard to reach the finish line because practice makes perfect.” Li Ming was so excited that he decided to finish his speech. He wanted to do everything quickly—he even planned to practice a hundred times that night. So he wrote a short speech about the Year of the Horse and practiced in front of a mirror again and again. His little sister laughed and said to him, “Hold your horses.” But he didn’t want to slow down at all.
The contest day came. Li Ming’s hands were sweating. When his name was called, he walked onto the stage. He spoke fast—and made a mistake. His face turned red. He wanted to run away. But then he saw Ms. Wang smiling at him. He took a deep breath and kept going. He talked about overcoming fear and how the Year of the Horse gave him courage. He quoted some proverbs. When he finished, the room burst into applause. Li Ming couldn’t believe it. In the end, he won the third prize. He almost cried with joy.
After the contest, a classmate whispered (悄悄地说), “Li Ming, you used the wrong proverb just now. ‘No pain, no gain’ isn’t about horses.” Li Ming froze. Then he laughed. “Maybe not. But I still gained something—courage.” Ms. Wang heard this and smiled. “Exactly. Every horse thinks its own pack heaviest. You worked hard and you made it.”
From the English Week, Li Ming learned that mistakes don’t matter, but trying does.
31. Why did Li Ming give up the speech contest at first?
A. He had no time to prepare. B. He feared being laughed at.
C. He disliked speaking in public. D. He knew he would make mistakes.
32. What does the underlined phrase “Hold your horses” mean?
A. Be quick. B. Be patient. C. Ride a horse. D. Keep quiet.
33. What is the correct order of the following events?
a. Li Ming walked onto the stage with sweating hands.
b. Li Ming was scared of joining the speech contest.
c. Li Ming prepared his speech and practised at home.
d. Li Ming was told that he used a wrong proverb.
e. Li Ming won the third prize of the contest.
A. b-c-a-e-d B. b-a-c-e-d
C. c-b-a-d-e D. c-a-b-e-d
34. How did Li Ming’s feelings change in the story?
A. shy → bored → surprised B. excited → nervous → sad
C. worried → angry → relaxed D. afraid → encouraged → joyful
35. What is the main idea of the story?
A. Good speakers should join English contests.
B. Horse proverbs are difficult for Li Ming to learn.
C. Courage and effort matter more than being perfect.
D. Shy students should try their best at English Week.
C

A. Shaking hands: Shaking hands is a very common greeting in many Western countries like the UK. You just hold the other person’s right hand and move it gently up and down. It shows that you are open, friendly and polite.
B. Nodding: Nodding your head up and down usually means “yes” or “I agree” in China. However, you should be careful when you travel to countries like Bulgaria or Greece. In those places, nodding actually means “no”!
C. Bowing: Bowing is a very important way to show respect in Asian countries. People bend their bodies forward to say hello, goodbye, or thank you. The deeper you bow, the more respect you show to others.
D. Thumbs up: Putting your thumb up is a popular sign for “good job” in the US and China. But you should not use it in some Middle Eastern countries. In those places, this hand sign is seen as a very rude gesture.
E. Waving someone over: To ask someone to come over, you can wave your hand with the palm (手心) facing down. This is a very common gesture in many Asian countries.
