二、阅读理解(本大题共20小题,每小题2分,共40分)
A
We talked with June Galloway about her book Get off on the Right Foot: Don’t Let the Wrong Gesture (手势) Ruin Your Day.
English is an international language. But in your book, communication without words is paid more attention to. ▲
June:Well, gestures and other body languages have different meanings in different places. Something that you think is friendly or polite could be considered to be very impolite in another culture. I’ve described many of these customs and cultural differences, so my readers won’t get off on the wrong foot when they meet people from places where the culture is different from their own.
Can greeting someone the wrong way really lead to misunderstanding?
June:In some places, yes. The heavy handshake that a North American expects may seem quite impolite in other places. And a light handshake—which is usual in some countries—may seem unfriendly to a North American.
What other gestures can cause misunderstanding?
June:Take the gesture for “Come here” for example. In North America, people gesture with the palm(掌心) up. Well, in southern Europe, that gesture means “goodbye”. And in many Asian countries, the palm-up gesture is thought rude. Instead, people there gesture with the palm down.
Surely, there must be some gestures used everywhere, right? What about the thumb-up(翘拇指)gesture for “great”?
June:Sorry. That’s very rude in Australia and the Middle East. That is why it’s important to know about body language and cultural differences.
11. Which of the following can be put in ▲ ?
A. How is it going? B. Why is that so important?
C. Can you give us some examples? D. Could it make readers interested?
12. What does June mean by saying “my readers won’t get off on the wrong foot”?
A. Her readers won’t hurt others. B. Her readers won’t have a bad start.
C. Her readers won’t know how to walk. D. Her readers will always know where to go.
13. Which gesture should you use if you want to say “goodbye” in southern Europe?
A. B. C. D.
14. According to the passage, which is NOT mentioned in June’s book?
A. Some common gestures. B. Different meanings of a gesture.
C. The importance of body language. D. The development of body language.
15. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. A light handshake is quite polite in North America.
B. June mainly talks about the English language in her book.
C. The book is helpful to those who often travel around the world.
D. If you want to say “great” to an Australian, just make a thumb-up gesture.
B
Wang Miao was born in the Year of the Dragon near the Bohai Sea. Her grandfather named her Miao, which has three Chinese characters for “water”. He said dragons live well with water, so this name would bring her good luck. From then on, she was closely connected with water.
Wang Miao began to dive in 2015 in the Philippines. As she spent more time in the water, she began to see not only the ocean’s beauty but also its suffering. No matter where or how deep she went in the sea, she always found rubbish. She knew she must do something, even if one person’s effort might seem small.
After graduation, Wang Miao began working on environmental projects. She realized diving is a very good skill for ocean protection. Divers join hands to deal with the waste fishing nets and other rubbish. This way works well in Russia, New Zealand and some other countries. She thought it could work in China too. So in 2017, she started the group Better Blue to protect the ocean. Many people do not understand why well-educated people like her work as “sea cleaners”. But she said, “Don’t go after success the way others do. Be the change you wish to see and stay true.”
In September 2018, Wang Miao became the first Chinese who won the UN Young Champions of the Earth Award. And in 2026, she was honored with the Study UK Alumni Awards.
Wang Miao has spoken at many international meetings on what China has done for ocean protection. Now more and more Chinese young divers are becoming guardians of the ocean.
16. What’s Wang Miao’s first name in Chinese according to paragraph 1?
A. 苗 B. 淼 C. 渺 D. 妙
17. What made Wang Miao decide to do her part to save the ocean?

B. Seeing ocean hurt by rubbish.
C. The action taken by Better Blue.
D. The encouragement from her grandpa.

Do you read or write reviews online? Many people do. They write them for products, restaurants, videos and more. How important are online reviews? Our yearly customer survey found that 85% of the customers think reviews help them decide whether to make a purchase (购买).
But not every review is fair or honest. Some are fake (假的) five-star reviews, some are impolite, and some depend on personal standards. If you’re reading a review, think for yourself. Can you trust it? If you’re writing a review, will you take it seriously? Ken and Emily’s conversation may give you some inspiration.
Ken and Emily are having lunch at a coffee shop during a trip to another city.
Emily: Don’t you think the food and service are really good today?
Ken: I do. My coffee is great, and the staff are friendly.
Emily: I think I’ll leave a review for this coffee shop.
Ken: Do you think people will read it?
Emily: Of course. You read reviews before you try a new place, don’t you?
Ken: Yes. I read both positive and negative ones.
Emily: Me too. They help me decide whether to try a place out.
Ken: Helpful reviews can make a big difference.
Emily: For this coffee shop, I’ll say what I ordered, how the service was and how clean this place was.
Ken: That’s a good idea. Have you ever written negative reviews?
Emily: Hardly ever! I usually leave five-star reviews.
Ken: People are often guided by reviews from other people. So, if something really goes wrong, I’ll try to be kind and explain how it can be improved.
Emily: You have a point! A review should be honest.
People place great importance on online customers’ reviews. Listen to both sides—that’s how you see the full picture. And when you leave a review, stick to the facts and pay attention to your manners.
21. Why are online reviews important?
A. They are made by 85% of the customers. B. They provide the experts’ suggestions online.

22. How can we leave a helpful review according to the text?
A. By avoiding bad experiences. B. By telling the truth in a kind way.
C. By writing as soon as possible. D. By asking sellers to write reviews.
23. Which review for the coffee shop is probably from Emily?
A. Delicious dishes with low prices. B. Sunny beach, convenient transportation.
C. Tasty coffee, clean shop, nice staff. D. Something wrong with food and service.
24. Why is the conversation mentioned?
A. To stress the importance of writing travel guides. B. To recommend a nice coffee shop at a new place.
C. To show online reviews should be taken seriously. D. To explain the process of writing different reviews.
25. Which opinion may the writer agree with?

When people speak of Wang Hong, they often mention the Fields Medal (菲尔兹奖). However, the most valuable part of her story for students lies in her spirit when facing difficult questions.
When she was a child, Wang had a serious burn and had to stay indoors for a long time. She couldn’t play freely outside, so books and maths problems filled her quiet world. This experience helped her develop patience and learn to work alone. Later, this ability let her spend days thinking over hard problems without rushing to get answers.
At school, Wang thought actively but was once laughed at for raising her hand often. Her teacher helped her balance courage and careful listening. She joined a problem-solving group. The group didn’t offer ready-made answers. It forced her to explain why an idea worked, where it might fail and how to improve it in other ways.
University brought new challenges. At first, Wang failed to get into her dream maths major (专业). With competitive classmates around her, she doubted herself, but she never gave up her love for maths. She kept reading maths books and doing more exercises. She also discussed hard problems with her teachers and classmates whenever she met trouble. She tried different courses and finally transferred (转入) to the School of Maths. When studying in France, she put aside her maths research for a short time to explore art and architecture (建筑). She did this to find out whether she truly wanted to return to maths.
Wang Hong’s success tells us that hard work and continuous efforts matter a lot. If we keep trying and never give up, we will make progress in our studies.

Sweetest Day is celebrated to make someone happy. It is a day that offers all of us an opportunity to care about not only the sick, aged and orphaned (孤儿), but also friends, relatives and family.
Over 60 years ago, a Cleveland man, believing that the city’s underprivileged groups (弱势群体) often felt they were forgotten and left out, had the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this by giving out small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he gave out these small gifts on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other Clevelanders began to take part in the celebration ceremony. which came to be called “Sweetest Day” Then the idea of spreading cheer to the underprivileged was spread to everyone. And soon the idea was spread to other cities all over the country.
Sweetest Day is not based on any single group’s religious sentiment (感情) or on a family relationship. It reminds us that a thoughtful word or deed enriches life and gives it meaning.
