三、阅读理解（共4小题；每小题5分，满分20分）

Gesture (手势) culture

I was taking a photo of my Chinese friend. Suddenly she put two figures up at me. “Why are you doing that?” I shouted. It took a long time before she realized why I was upset. Showing someone two fingers means “cheese” to the camera. It is not harmful in China, but in fact it is very rude in the UK.

Language difference may not on only come from grammar and sounds, because it means gestures too. Perhaps you should know that waving one hand across your face means “you are crazy” in Germany. However, tapping one finger on the side of your head shows the same meaning in the UK. If you don’t understand the meanings of the gestures clearly in different countries, you may make big mistakes!

The idea of gesture mistranslation is so common that the HSBC even used it in an advertisement. A man travels around South America. He uses the sign of a thumb and a forefinger made into a circle to mean “that’s OK”. So everyone looks excited and smiles back. Then he shows the same gesture to a man in Brazil, and everyone falls silent, because this is so rude to a man.

Therefore, understanding different cultures and gestures can help you avoid many mistakes in daily life.

21．Showing someone two fingers is ________ in the UK.

A．rude B．excited C．polite D．funny

22．According to the passage, language difference includes grammar, sounds and ________.

A．feelings B．moods C．gestures D．ideas

23．What does tapping one finger on the side of your head mean in the UK?

A．You are crazy.

B．That’s OK.

C．You’re nude.

D．It is harmful.

24．What does the passage mainly tell us?

A．The same gesture has different meanings in different cultures.

B．Different countries have different customs.

C．The tradition of gesture languages.

D．The understanding of gesture languages.

四、句子翻译（共5小题；每个小题1分，满分5分）

25．汤姆想知道我是否习惯国外的生活。

Tom wondered ________ I ________ ________ ________ the life in foreign countries or not.

26．Sarah六岁，足够大可以上学了。

Sarah is 6 years old and is ____________ ____________ ____________ ____________ to school.

27．尽管他参加过几个足球队的选拔，但是几乎没人赏识他的天赋。

_________________________________ several football teams, few people appreciated his gift.

28．请问，你能告诉我们今天晚上乐队什么时间开始演奏吗？

________________________________

29．这座城市足够著名，每年都能吸引大量游客。( …enough to…)

答案以及解析

一、单选题

1．答案：B

解析：句意：毫无疑问，《一个少女的日记》这本书非常值得一读再读。考查同位语从句连接词和形容词短语固定搭配。whether是否；that作为从句引导词无含义；if不用于同位语从句；well worth reading非常值得阅读；观察第二空选项和空格前的“is”可知考查的是worth的固定用法be worth doing，排除CD。根据“There is no doubt that”句型和后文可知，从句内容不缺成分，第一空后面引导的是同位语从句，且句子意思无含义缺失。故选B。

2．答案：A

解析：句意：请把垃圾放在特殊的盒子里，这样就可以回收利用了！考查连词辨析。so that以便于；in order to为了；because of因为；though尽管。根据“Please put the waste in the special box … it can be recycled”可知，把垃圾放在盒子里的目的是为了回收利用，空后是完整句子，用so that引导目的状语从句，故选A。

3．答案：B

解析：题意：哪一个下划线字母的发音与其他字母不同？考查字母组合发音。truth[truːθ]；though[ðəʊ]；therapy[ˈθerəpi]；theft[θeft]。th字母组合在A、C和D中发音[θ]，而在B中发[ð]；故选B。

4．答案：D

解析：句意：——杰克，马尔代夫可能会因海平面上升而消失。——上帝！我们必须做些什么来阻止它。考查介词词组辨析。except for除……之外；so as to为了；according to根据；because of由于，因为。划线词as a result of意思是“由于”，和D项短语意思相近。故选D。

5．答案：C

解析：句意：——我明天想去参观故宫博物馆。我想知道它是否会开放。——明天是星期一。它将会是歇业状态。考查宾语从句。when to leave什么时候离开；why you like to go there你为什么喜欢去哪里；if it will be open是否会开放；whether you’ve been there before你是否曾经去过那里。根据“I want to visit the Palace Museum tomorrow.”和“Tomorrow is Monday. It will be closed.”可知，是想知道博物馆明天是否会开放。故选C。

6．答案：A

解析：句意：——我现在有空了！去踢足球怎么样？——听上去很好！我喜欢足球。考查形容词辨析。free自由的，有空闲的；tidy干净的；cool冷静的，凉爽的；useful有用的。根据后文“How about going to play soccer?”可知是询问对方要不要一起去踢足球，可推测前文说的应该是有空闲了。故选A。

7．答案：C

解析：句意：——最近怎么样，萨姆？——糟透了。我有很多工作要做，今天早上又把手机丢了。考查情景交际。What’s that那是什么；How’s the weather天气怎么样；How’s it going最近怎么样；Where are you going你去哪里。根据“Terrible. I have lots of work to do”可知是在问最近怎么样，故选C。

8．答案：C

9．答案：C

解析：句意：——妈妈，我很抱歉毁了你的生日蛋糕。——亲爱的没事！毕竟这是你第一次做蛋糕。考查副词短语辨析。above all首先；in all总共；after all 毕竟；first of all首先。根据“Never mind”可知，此处是说没关系，“毕竟”这是你第一次做蛋糕。故选C。

10．答案：C

解析：句意：这次考试在你的生活中是非常重要的。你应该认真对待这件事。考查副词辨析。clearly清晰地；loudly大声地；seriously认真地；quickly迅速地。根据“This examination is very important in your life.”可知，是认真对待考试，take…seriously认真对待，故选C。

二、完形填空

答案：11．C  12．B  13．D  14．C  15．B  16．C  17．B  18．A  19．A  20．D

解析：本文通过越来越多的年轻人购买日本漫画书，观看韩国电视剧，庆祝西方节日等现象，指出中国文化和西方文化一样好，并且是不可或缺，也是不可替代的。

11．句意：那是一句古老的英语谚语。a是不定冠词，修饰单数名词表泛指，用于以辅音音素开头的单词前面；/表零冠词；an是不定冠词，修饰单数名词表泛指，用于以元音音素开头的单词前面；the是定冠词，表示特指。由“old saying”可知那是谚语，saying为可数名词，表示泛指，且old是以元音音素开头，因此使用不定冠词an修饰，故选C。

12．句意：它的意思是其他地方通常看起来比你住的地方更好，更有趣。interesting有趣的；more interesting更有趣的；most interesting最有趣的，最高级需用定冠词the修饰；the most interesting最有趣的。than“比”，是比较级句子的标志，可知空处需用形容词的比较级形式，故选B。

13．句意：如今，大多数人担心中国年轻人开始有这种感觉。is beginning是现在进行时态，主语是单数；began是动词过去式；begins是第三人称单数形式；are beginning是现在进行时态，主语是复数/第二人称单数。由时间状语“These days”可知表示动作发生在近阶段，使用现在进行时be doing的形式；主语“young Chinese”为复数人称，因此用are beginning，故选D。

14．句意：越来越多的中国年轻人对中国文化不感兴趣。to到；for为了；in在……里面；of……的。根据题干“become less interested…Chinese culture”，可知是说年轻人对中国文化没那么感兴趣，需用动词短语become interested in表示“对……感兴趣”，故选C。

15．句意：相反，他们购买日本漫画书，观看韩国肥皂剧，庆祝西方节日。soap opera肥皂剧，单数形式；soap operas肥皂剧，复数形式；soaps opera形式表达错误；soaps operas形式表达错误。根据上文“they are buying Japanese cartoon books”，可知是说看韩国的肥皂剧，这里soap opera“肥皂剧”表泛指，用其复数形式soap operas，故选B。

16．句意：外国图书和肥皂剧都不错，但中国作家和演员也一样好。well好；better更好；good好的；best最好的。as good表示“像……一样好”，根据上文“Foreign books and soap operas are good”，可知是说中国作家和演员同样好。故选C。

17．句意：圣诞节是美好的，但它对中国不可能有特殊意义。although尽管；but但是；so因此；because因为。分析句子结构，本句是并列复合句；根据题干“Christmas is nice…it can’t have the special meaning for Chinese”，可知前后句之间表达的是一种转折关系，需用but连接，故选B。

18．句意：让我们不要忘记我最喜欢中国文化的那一部分：它的友好。forget忘记，动词原形；to forget动词不定式；forgetting是动名词或现在分词；forgot是过去式。let’s (not) do sth.表示“让我们（不要）做某事”，是固定搭配，可知用动词原形forget，故选A。

19．句意：并不是所有国家都像中国那样温暖。warm暖和的；warmer更暖的；cold寒冷的；colder更冷的。根据题干“Not all countries are as…as China”，结合上文 “its friendliness”，可知是说不是所有国家都像中国那样温暖；“as +形容词原级+ as”表示“像……一样……”，是固定结构，故选A。

20．句意：欣赏其他文化并向它们学习很好，但它们不能取代我们自己的文化。enjoys喜欢/享受，第三人称单数形式；enjoy喜欢/享受；enjoying是动名词或现在分词；to enjoy动词不定式。and连接两个并列的成分，由下文的“to learn from them”可知此处使用动词不定式to enjoy，故选D。

三、阅读理解

答案：21．A  22．C  23．A  24．A

解析：本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了相同的手势在不同的国家会有不同的意义。

21．细节理解题。根据“Showing someone two fingers means “cheese” to the camera. It is not harmful in China, but in fact it is very rude in the UK.”可知，在英国这种行为是粗鲁的。故选A。

22．细节理解题。根据“Language difference may not on only come from grammar and sounds, because it means gestures too.”可知，语言的差异可能不仅仅来自语法和声音，还包括手势。故选C。

23．细节理解题。根据“ Perhaps you should know that waving one hand across your face means “you are crazy” in Germany.”和“However, tapping one finger on the side of your head shows the same meaning in the UK.”可知，在英国和德国，这种手势都表示“you are crazy”。故选A。

24．主旨大意题。根据“Therefore, understanding different cultures and gestures can help you avoid many mistakes in daily life.”和全文内容可知，相同的手势在不同的国家会有不同的意义。故选A。

四、句子翻译

25．答案：whether     got     used     to

26．答案：old     enough     to      go

27．答案：Although he tried out for/Though he tried out for

28．答案：Excuse me, could you tell us when the band starts playing this evening?

29．答案：The city is famous enough to attract lots of visitors every year.

五、选词填空

答案：31．be divided into

32．will get back

33．according to

34．has tried out of

35．to change your mind

36．broke out

37．reminds     of

38．nineties

39．Carelessness

解析：30．句意：据报道，连接连云港和徐州的高速铁路将于2020年投入使用。根据“the high-speed railway… Lianyungang to Xuzhou”及备选词可知，此处指连接连云港和徐州的高速铁路，此句已有谓语动词will be，railway与动词connect之间是主动关系，此空应填动词的ing形式，故填connecting。

31．句意：这里有十二个男孩和女孩。这个生日蛋糕能分成这么多块吗？根据“Can this birthday cake … so many pieces”及备选词可知，询问蛋糕是否可以分给这么多人，divide…into“将……划分成……”，主语birthday cake与动词divide之间是被动关系，故此处用含有情态动词的被动语态can be done的结构，故填be divided into。

32．句意：如果你不能减重，你会拿回你的钱。根据“If you can’t lose weight, you…your money”及备选词可知，此处表示会拿回你的钱，if引导条件状语从句，主句用一般将来时will do的结构，故填will get back。

33．句意：你最好根据你的时间来选择你的爱好。根据“You had better choose your hobby… the time you have”及备选词可知，根据时间来选择爱好，according to“根据”，故填according to。

34．句意：这位运动员已多次尝试退出比赛。根据“The athlete … the competition for many times”及备选词可知，运动员尝试退赛，try out for“尝试为”，根据“for many times”可知，此句应用现在完成时have/has done的结构，主语是单数形式，助动词用has，故填has tried out of。

35．句意：别担心。既然这是你自己的选择，没人能强迫你改变主意。根据“Since it is your choice no one can force you”及备选词可知，此处指没人能强迫你改变主意，change one’s mind“改变主意”，force sb to do sth“强迫某人做某事”，根据“you”可知，用your代替one’s，故填to change your mind。

36．句意：战争爆发时，许多家庭失去了家园和亲人。根据“When the war …, many families lost their homes and families”及备选词可知，此处指战争爆发，break out表示“爆发”，描述过去发生的事情句子是一般过去时，故填broke out。

37．句意：这个玩具常常使她想起她的宠物狗。根据“The toy often… her… her pet dog”及备选词可知，这个让她想起了宠物狗，remind sb of sth“使某人想起某物”，根据“often”可知，句子是一般现在时，主语是单数形式，动词用三单形式，故填reminds；of。

38．句意：我爷爷虽然已经九十多岁了，但看起来仍然精力充沛。根据“though he’s already in his”及备选词可知，此处用in one’s+基数词的复数形式，表达“不确定的年龄”，故填nineties。

39．句意：粗心大意不仅对医生是一场灾难，对病人也是一场灾难。此空缺少名词作主语，根据“will be a disaster not only to doctors but also to patients”以及备选词可知，此处用carelessness表示“粗心”，故填Carelessness。

Dear Zhang Ming,

How are you? Congratulation that you can be an athlete in the 3rd Asian Youth Games! You must be excited about coming to Shantou soon. Now let me introduce some customs of Shantou to you.

I know in Korea you will take a bow at each other when people meet. But in Shantou, we are supposed to shake hands when meeting someone. At dinner, the dishes are placed on the table and everyone shares. We eat food with chopsticks and we should let the old start eating first. We are allowed to talk at the table. However, we can’t talk too loud. In fact, people in Shantou are very friendly. Don’t worry!

Welcome to Shantou and wish you all the best in the game.

Yours,

Li Hong
