When is the best time to travel to China? I’m a tour guide and a lot of people often ask me this question. In fact, it is not easy to give you a correct answer. That’s because China is a big country and nobody can tell you the best time to visit it. You can travel to China at any time. Whenever you visit China, you can always find places that are worth (值得) visiting.
Now it is December. Let me tell you some information about visiting China in winter. Most people try to avoid (避免) traveling to China in winter. However, there are some great places to visit. Most of these places are in the south of China. You can visit Hainan, Yunnan, Hong Kong and some other warm places. If you think the weather in China in winter is always cold, you are wrong.
If you love cold weather and want to play with snow, choose to visit China in winter. You can travel to China between November and March. In China, there are some popular places that are famous for their ice and snow. Harbin is one of the cities. It is the capital of Heilongjiang Province.

根据文章第一段中的“In fact, it is not easy to give you a correct answer.”可知,告诉人们去中国旅游的最佳时间并不容易。

第二节 阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)
A
China is a big country. Are the north and the south very different? Three students from different cities are giving their opinions on this topic.
I think the biggest difference is the language. Each place in China has its own dialect (方言). For example, people in my home town, Xiamen, speak Minnan dialect. But it's hard for people from the north to understand it while they are talking with each other! Luckily, China has done a good job in teaching people Putonghua, which makes it easy for people in different places to communicate with each other.
I think the food in the north is different from that in the south. I grew up in Jinan, a northern city. Jinan is famous for youxuan and tianmo. Last year, I visited Hunan. I was surprised by the rice there. It is not as sweet as that in the north. This is because of the difference in rain and heat. And people in different parts have different tastes.
You can find differences in old Chinese poems. I live in Hangzhou. China’s poet Su Shi once wrote about the West Lake here: “The brimming waves delight the eye on sunny days; The dimming hills present a rare view in rainy haze.” (水光潋滟晴方好,山色空蒙雨亦奇。) But if you read poems about the north, you’ll find that “In boundless desert lonely smoke rises straight” (大漠孤烟直). Quite different scenes, aren’t they?
16. What does the underlined word “communicate” probably mean?
A. Play. B. Share. C. Get. D. Talk.
17. Who can speak Minnan dialect?
A. People in Shandong. B. People in Southern Fujian.
C. People in Hebei. D. People in Hunan.
18. Why is the rice in the north sweeter according to the text?
A. Because the weather plays a role.
B. Because the water is sweeter in the north.
C. Because the planting way is different.
D. Because the planting time is not the same.
19. How was the weather in Hangzhou according to Su Shi’s poem?
A. Warm and wet. B. Cold and rainy. C. Cool and windy. D. Hot and dry.
20. Which of the differences between the north and the south isn’t mentioned in the text?
A. Food. B. Languages. C. Houses. D. Poems.
【答案】16. D 17. B 18. A 19. A 20. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要通过三位来自不同城市学生的观点,探讨了中国南方和北方在语言、食物和古诗景色方面的差异。
【16题详解】
根据原文中“Luckily, China has done a good job in teaching people Putonghua, which makes it easy for people in different places to communicate with each other.”可知,普通话让不同地方的人更容易交流交谈,可推测communicate意为“交谈、交流”。
【17题详解】
根据原文中“For example, people in my home town, Xiamen, speak Minnan dialect.”可知,厦门人说闽南方言,而厦门位于福建省南部,选项B符合题意。
【18题详解】
根据原文中“This is because of the difference in rain and heat.”可知,北方大米更甜是因为雨和热的不同,即气候天气起了作用。
【19题详解】
根据原文中“The brimming waves delight the eye on sunny days; The dimming hills present a rare view in rainy haze.”可知,诗句描写了晴天的水波和雨天的山色,体现了多雨湿润的特点,结合杭州地理位置及选项排除法可知选A。
【20题详解】
根据原文中“I think the biggest difference is the language.”、“I think the food in the north is different from that in the south.”和“You can find differences in old Chinese poems.”可知,文章提到了语言、食物和古诗,未提及房子。
B
Different countries have different ideas about how to be polite. In Britain, table manners are important. But how do you show good table manners in Britain? Here is some advice.
How to sit. You should sit up straight in your chair. When you eat, don’t pick up the bowl or bring it to you. This is called very bad manners.
Noises at the table. It isn’t a good idea to make a noise at the table.
Using your fingers. Usually we don’t pick food up with our fingers when we are eating main dishes, but there are some foods that we can eat with our fingers. They are pizza, sandwiches, chips (or fries) and fruit.
Your mouth. It is not polite to talk with your mouth full of food. Please remember not to make a noise.
How much to eat. It is polite to eat all the food that you have been offered, so a clear plate (盘子) is a good plate. It shows that you enjoy the food. If you can’t finish everything and you have to leave a little, that’s okay. You can say, “That is very nice. Thank you.”
21. When you eat in Britain, you should ________.
A. pick up the bowl B. bring the bowl to you

C. Saying “excuse me” D. Eating everything on the plate
25. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. How to be polite at home B. Table manners in Britain
C. How to use your fingers D. No shouting at table
【答案】21. C 22. D 23. B 24. D 25. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,介绍英国的餐桌礼仪,包括坐姿、声音、用手拿食物、嘴里有食物时说话以及吃多少等方面的建议。
【21题详解】
根据“How to sit”部分“You should sit up straight in your chair.”可知,在英国吃饭时应坐直。
【22题详解】
根据“Using your fingers”部分“there are some foods that we can eat with our fingers. They are pizza, sandwiches, chips (or fries) and fruit.”可知,吃披萨、薯条等食物时可以用手。
【23题详解】
根据“Noises at the table”部分“It isn’t a good idea to make a noise at the table.”以及“Your mouth”部分“Please remember not to make a noise.”可知,吃饭时发出声音是不好的,因此选rude“粗鲁的”。
【24题详解】
根据“How much to eat”部分“It is polite to eat all the food that you have been offered, so a clear plate is a good plate. It shows that you enjoy the food.”可知,把盘子里的食物吃光表明你喜欢这些食物。
【25题详解】
通读全文,第一段点明“In Britain, table manners are important. But how do you show good table manners in Britain? Here is some advice.”,下文从坐姿、声音、用手、嘴巴、吃多少等方面介绍英国餐桌礼仪,因此最佳标题是Table manners in Britain。

【49题详解】
“The wind will become stronger, and there may be storms in some areas”译为“风会 (变得) 越来越大/更大,一些地区可能会有暴风雨”。其中“The wind”译为“风”,作主语;“will”为一般将来时的助动词,后接动词原形become“变得”;“stronger”译为“更大的”,作表语;“and”是并列连词,连接两个分句;“there may be”译为“可能会有”,是there be句型;“storms”译为“暴风雨”,作主语;“in some areas”译为“在一些地区”,作地点状语。
【50题详解】
“星期天将会有大雨”译为There will be heavy rain on Sunday。其中“There will be”译为“将会有”,是there be句型的一般将来时;“heavy rain”译为“大雨”,作主语;“on Sunday”译为“在星期天”,作时间状语。

Now it is December. Let me tell you some information about visiting China in winter. Most people try to avoid (避免) traveling to China in winter. However, there are some great places to visit. Most of these places are in the south of China. You can visit Hainan, Yunnan, Hong Kong and some other warm places. If you think the weather in China in winter is always cold, you are wrong.
If you love cold weather and want to play with snow, choose to visit China in winter. You can travel to China between November and March. In China, there are some popular places that are famous for their ice and snow. Harbin is one of the cities. It is the capital of Heilongjiang Province.

第二节 阅读下列短文,从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。(共15小题,每小题2分,满分30分)
A
China is a big country. Are the north and the south very different? Three students from different cities are giving their opinions on this topic.
I think the biggest difference is the language. Each place in China has its own dialect (方言). For example, people in my home town, Xiamen, speak Minnan dialect. But it's hard for people from the north to understand it while they are talking with each other! Luckily, China has done a good job in teaching people Putonghua, which makes it easy for people in different places to communicate with each other.
I think the food in the north is different from that in the south. I grew up in Jinan, a northern city. Jinan is famous for youxuan and tianmo. Last year, I visited Hunan. I was surprised by the rice there. It is not as sweet as that in the north. This is because of the difference in rain and heat. And people in different parts have different tastes.
You can find differences in old Chinese poems. I live in Hangzhou. China’s poet Su Shi once wrote about the West Lake here: “The brimming waves delight the eye on sunny days; The dimming hills present a rare view in rainy haze.” (水光潋滟晴方好,山色空蒙雨亦奇。) But if you read poems about the north, you’ll find that “In boundless desert lonely smoke rises straight” (大漠孤烟直). Quite different scenes, aren’t they?
16. What does the underlined word “communicate” probably mean?
A. Play. B. Share. C. Get. D. Talk.
17. Who can speak Minnan dialect?
A. People in Shandong. B. People in Southern Fujian.
C. People in Hebei. D. People in Hunan.
18. Why is the rice in the north sweeter according to the text?
A. Because the weather plays a role.
B. Because the water is sweeter in the north.
C. Because the planting way is different.
D. Because the planting time is not the same.
19. How was the weather in Hangzhou according to Su Shi’s poem?
A. Warm and wet. B. Cold and rainy. C. Cool and windy. D. Hot and dry.
20. Which of the differences between the north and the south isn’t mentioned in the text?
A. Food. B. Languages. C. Houses. D. Poems.
B
Different countries have different ideas about how to be polite. In Britain, table manners are important. But how do you show good table manners in Britain? Here is some advice.
How to sit. You should sit up straight in your chair. When you eat, don’t pick up the bowl or bring it to you. This is called very bad manners.
Noises at the table. It isn’t a good idea to make a noise at the table.
Using your fingers. Usually we don’t pick food up with our fingers when we are eating main dishes, but there are some foods that we can eat with our fingers. They are pizza, sandwiches, chips (or fries) and fruit.
Your mouth. It is not polite to talk with your mouth full of food. Please remember not to make a noise.
How much to eat. It is polite to eat all the food that you have been offered, so a clear plate (盘子) is a good plate. It shows that you enjoy the food. If you can’t finish everything and you have to leave a little, that’s okay. You can say, “That is very nice. Thank you.”
21. When you eat in Britain, you should ________.
