You step off the plane full of curiosity, and yet within hours something as simple as a greeting may leave you unsure of what to do next. 1________ Learning something about local customs before you go is one of the easiest ways to avoid trouble. The first thing visitors often notice is the way people greet each other. In some countries a handshake is expected; in others people bow, or press their hands together and say a short prayer-like phrase. 2________ Nobody will laugh at a traveller who tries; what causes discomfort is usually looking nervous and doing nothing at all. Clothing can be a more serious matter than many people expect. A sleeveless shirt may be perfectly normal at a beach, but the same shirt can be considered rude in a temple or a small village. 3________ It is a quiet way of showing that you have noticed the difference and respect it. Then comes food, which is often the part travellers remember longest. You may be handed a dish that you cannot name, served with the fingers of your right hand, or asked three times before you accept a second helping. 4________ In many cultures refusing everything the host offers is taken far more rudely than eating slowly and leaving a little. None of this means you must pretend to be somebody else. Locals generally do not expect a visitor to behave exactly as they do. 5________ A little preparation, an open mind and the courage to ask "Is it all right if I do this?" will take you further than any guidebook. A. What they do expect is that you show respect for their way of life. B. Try a little of everything, even if you are not sure what it is. C. It also helps to carry a large amount of cash in small notes. D. Following the local style of dress is usually the safest choice. E. These differences are exactly what makes travelling worthwhile. F. Most markets there close early, so buy what you need in the morning. G. Copying what you see around you is perfectly acceptable. 五、阅读理解 （一） Alex had been in India for less than a week when Rani, a colleague he had met in Delhi, invited him to her cousin's wedding. "You must come," she said. "It will be unlike anything you have ever seen." Alex accepted at once, though he had no idea what to expect, and spent the next morning looking for a suitable jacket. When he arrived at the house, the courtyard had already been decorated with strings of yellow flowers, and a small band was playing in the corner. Nearly a hundred guests were seated on carpets under a bright cloth roof. Nobody seemed to mind that the ceremony had not started two hours after the time printed on the invitation. The bride arrived surrounded by her female relatives, her hands painted with delicate brown patterns. The groom came later on a white horse, followed by more musicians. For Alex, the most difficult part was the food: several dishes were placed in front of him at once, and each time he finished one, somebody immediately filled it again. "Eat slowly," Rani whispered. "If you leave it, they think you dislike it." Alex smiled and tried everything, including a sweet he could not name. By the end of the evening his hands were stained with colour and his shoes were covered in dust, but nobody appeared to care. On the train back to Delhi he wrote in his notebook: "I have never been anywhere I understood less and enjoyed more." Months later, when friends asked which country he would visit again, he answered without hesitation, and he still keeps the flower string Rani's mother tied around his wrist. 1.How did Alex get the invitation to the wedding? A. From a colleague he had met in Delhi. B. From a travel agent in his own country. C. From the bride's father. D. From a notice at his hotel. 2.Why did Alex buy a jacket before the wedding? A. The weather was colder than he had expected. B. He did not know what was suitable to wear. C. It was required in the invitation. D. He wanted to give it to the groom. 3.What surprised Alex most about the dinner? A. Guests had to eat standing up. B. Nobody was allowed to speak. C. His plate was filled again as soon as it was empty. D. Only one simple dish was served. 4.What did Rani advise Alex to do? A. Leave some food to show he was full. B. Eat slowly and try the food. C. Refuse the sweet politely. D. Wash his hands before eating. 5.What can we infer from Alex's notebook entry? D. He disliked Indian music. B. He regretted going to the wedding. C. He planned to write a book about India. A. He found the visit confusing but enjoyable. （二） It was late afternoon when Maria arrived in the coastal city, and the streets were already full of people in silver and blue. She had read about the festival in a magazine, but nothing had prepared her for the noise: drums from one direction, singing from another, and somewhere out of sight a whistle blowing again and again. She found a place on the pavement beside an old woman who was selling cold drinks from a bucket. "First time?" the woman asked. Maria nodded. "Then stay close to the wall," she said. "When the big groups come past, you do not want to be in the middle of the road." Maria bought a drink and did as she was told. The first dancers appeared twenty minutes later. Each group wore a different colour, and the costumes were far heavier and more elaborate than they looked on television. Some dancers were clearly tired, yet they kept the same fixed smile as they moved past. A small girl at the front waved at Maria, and Maria waved back. For two hours the street belonged to the dancers. Afterwards, people simply picked up their bags and went home, leaving paper streamers on the ground. By midnight sweepers had arrived, and by six in the morning the road looked almost as ordinary as it had the week before. Years later Maria still tells people the one thing the old woman taught her: in a strange city, ask a person who is standing still. It is advice she has never forgotten, and it has kept her out of trouble more than once in the years since. 6.What surprised Maria most when she arrived? A. The high price of cold drinks. B. The loud noise all around her. C. The empty streets. D. The cold weather. 7.Why did the old woman tell Maria to stay close to the wall? A. Because the pavement was very narrow. D. Because police had closed the road. C. Because it was about to rain. B. Because large groups of dancers were passing. 8.What does the writer say about the dancers' costumes? A. They were made of paper. B. They were heavier and more elaborate than they appear on TV. C. They were all exactly the same colour. D. They were borrowed from tourists. 9.What happened after the dancers had passed? A. The street was cleaned before morning. B. The festival continued for several days. C. Nobody stayed to watch the end. D. The old woman closed her shop. 10.Which of the following best describes Maria's feeling about the trip? A. Disappointed. B. Frightened. C. Grateful. D. Bored. 习题答案解析 一、单词拼写 1.“婚礼”是名词 wedding，空前有不定冠词 a 修饰，且指一场婚礼，故用单数形式 wedding。 2.“新娘”是名词 bride，句中作主语，冠词 the 表单数特指，故填 bride。 3.“仪式”是名词 ceremony，空前有定冠词 the 限定，指那一场特定仪式，故用单数 ceremony。 4.“日记”是名词 diary，his travel diary 意为“他的旅行日记”，空前无助词限定，故用单数 diary。 5.“记者”是名词 journalist，空前有不定冠词 a，且主语为单数，故用单数形式 journalist。 6.“彩车；花车”是名词 float，each 后接可数名词单数，谓语 was 也提示主语单数，故填 float。 7.“纪念品”是名词 souvenir，空前有不定冠词 a，故用单数形式 souvenir。 8.“高兴的”是形容词 delighted，位于 be 动词之后作表语，be delighted to do 意为“很高兴做某事”。 9.“困惑的”说明人的感受，需用 -ed 结尾的形容词 confused，feel 后接形容词作表语，故填 confused。 10.“盛宴”是名词 feast，空前有不定冠词 a，故用单数形式 feast。 二、词性转化 1.arrange 动词“安排”，名词形式是 arrangement，意为“安排；筹备”，如：make arrangements for the trip（为旅行做准备）。 2.invite 动词“邀请”，名词形式是 invitation，意为“邀请；请柬”，如：receive an invitation（收到一张请柬）。 3.India 名词“印度”，形容词形式是 Indian，首字母须大写，如：Indian music（印度音乐）。 4.Brazil 名词“巴西”，形容词形式是 Brazilian，首字母须大写，如：Brazilian dancers（巴西舞者）。 5.music 名词“音乐”，形容词形式是 musical，意为“音乐的”，如：a musical instrument（一件乐器）。 6.dance 动词“跳舞”，指人的名词形式是 dancer，意为“舞者”，如：a street dancer（一位街头舞者）。 7.amaze 动词“使惊讶”，表示人的感受用 -ed 形式的形容词 amazed，如：be amazed at the sight（对那景象感到惊奇）。 8.prepare 动词“准备”，名词形式是 preparation，意为“准备”，如：make preparations for the festival（为节日做准备）。 9.fly 动词“飞”，名词形式是 flight，意为“航班；飞行”，如：a long flight（一次长途飞行）。 10.describe 动词“描述”，名词形式是 description，意为“描述”，如：give a brief description（作简要描述）。 三、选词填空 1.“道路”，前有 mountain 修饰且指那一条山路，故用单数名词 road 作宾语。 2.“充足”，plenty of 为固定短语，后接不可数名词 time，plenty 本身没有复数形式。 3.“小费”，空前有不定冠词 a，故用单数形式 tip，leave a tip 意为“留下小费”。 4.“交通”，traffic 为不可数名词，没有复数形式，heavy traffic 意为“交通拥挤”。 5.“村庄”，that 修饰单数名词，故用单数形式 village。 6.“黎明”，at dawn 为固定搭配，意为“在黎明时分”，名词 dawn 前不加冠词。 7.“吵闹的”，became 后接形容词作表语，noise 的形容词形式是 noisy，意为“喧闹的”。 8.“接受”，be happy to do sth 结构中 to 后接动词原形，accept 表示“（主观）接受”，故填 accept。 四、七选五 1.E：空前说到一个简单的问候就能让你手足无措，空后说出发前了解习俗是避免麻烦最简便的方法之一。E 项“这些差异正是让旅行值得的原因”承接前文的“令人不安”，并用 these differences 指代文化差异，故选 E。 2.G：本段讲各地问候方式不同，空后说没人会嘲笑尝试的人，G 项“模仿你周围看到的做法完全可以被接受”与空后“try”呼应，且引出下文的转折，故选 G。 3.D：本段主题是衣着，空前举例无袖衫在海滩正常、在寺庙却被视为失礼，D 项“遵循当地的着装风格通常是最安全的选择”是对本段的小结，与下一句“这是表示你注意并尊重差异的安静方式”衔接，故选 D。 4.B：本段讲饮食，空后提到拒绝主人提供的一切比慢慢吃剩一点更失礼，B 项“每样都尝一点，即使你不确定是什么”与空后形成正反对照，符合段意，故选 B。 5.A：空前说当地人并不要求你和他们的举止完全一致，A 项“他们期待的是你尊重他们的生活方式”用 What they do expect 与上一句 do not expect 形成对比，收束全文，故选 A。 五、阅读理解 1.A：第一段提到 Rani 是 Alex 在德里认识的同事（“a colleague he had met in Delhi”），正是她邀请他参加表姐婚礼，故选 A。 2.B：第一段末句说 Alex 虽然接受了邀请，“had no idea what to expect”并花了一上午找合适的外套，说明他不知道穿什么合适，故选 B。A、C、D 文中均无依据。 3.C：第三段写几道菜同时摆在他面前，每次吃完就有人立刻再加满（“each time he finished one, somebody immediately filled it again”），这是让他最不适应的地方，故选 C。 4.B：第四段 Rani 低声提醒“Eat slowly”并说剩下会被认为不喜欢，因此建议他慢慢吃并尝一尝，故选 B。A 项与原文相反。 5.D：笔记本里他写道“从没有哪个地方我了解得这么少却过得这么开心”，由此推断他虽感困惑但很享受，故选 D。B、C、D 与原文态度不符。 6.B：第一段写到尽管她从杂志上读过这个节日，“nothing had prepared her for the noise”，随后列举鼓声、歌声和哨声，可见最出乎她意料的是巨大的声响，故选 B。 7.D：第二段老妇人说“When the big groups come past, you do not want to be in the middle of the road”，即建议她靠墙站是为了躲避成群走过的舞者队伍，故选 D。 8.B：第三段第二句明确指出服装“far heavier and more elaborate than they looked on television”，故选 B。C 项与 “Each group wore a different colour” 矛盾。 9.A：第四段讲人群散去后清扫工在午夜到达，“by six in the morning the road looked almost as ordinary as it had”，即早上前街道已被清理，故选 A。 10.C：末段 Maria 多年后仍向别人转述老妇人的忠告，并说这建议让她多次免于麻烦，可见她对这段经历心存感激，故选 C。A、B、D 均不符合。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
