一、完形填空
阅读下面短文，从短文后各小题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Something that I learnt from both my parents was the importance of having respect (尊重) for other people． I remember one day when we were travelling on a bus and I sat down 1 other people were standing． My mother shouted at me “ 2 immediately! You have young legs and you don’t need to sit down．” At the time I felt embarrassed about being told off 3 , but now I understand． I think children nowadays have lost that respect and it really makes me angry 4 I see children sitting down while other people are standing．
One area in which we had a lot of rules was table 5 ． For example, we weren’t allowed to start our meal until the oldest people had started． We had to say “ 6 ” when our food was served, and eat 7 on our plates before we could leave the table． We couldn’t make any noise when eating． Worse than that, we were only allowed to have sweets at the weekend, as a special treat if we had been good．
Although my upbringing (养育) was perhaps a bit 8 compared with modern children, I’m very thankful to my parents for giving me a clear direction in life． 9 I was sometimes punished, I think it has made me a better person． In my view, children need clear rules, but more than that they need to learn 10 to get on with other people and realize they are not the center of the world．

Our new foreign students are going to arrive very soon, and here are some ways to communicate politely．
How close do you stand when you talk to a friend? You can stand close to people in the Middle East but don’t stand too close to North Americans! Give them more personal space．
How about touching people? Chinese girls often walk arm in arm with their friends． South Americans sometimes hold your arm when they talk to you, so you can’t move away! But in Britain many people don’t like other people to touch them at all!
Do you look at people when you talk? In some places, it isn’t polite to look at people when you talk, but in other countries it isn’t polite to look somewhere else． In Britain and the US, people usually look at each other when they talk．
And how do you say goodbye? That’s easy, wave to say goodbye． But be careful! In Greece, it’s not at all polite! In fact, it’s very rude!
As the host, it’s polite to welcome the foreign students． To help them know our customs well, we’d better prepare some handbooks with Chinese etiquette as gifts． From the handbooks, they may know what to do when they meet Chinese people first, and also how to behave at the table and what they are supposed to do when visiting Chinese friends． What’s more, we plan to organize a welcome party in which we’ll communicate better with each other．
With these help, I’m sure they could get used to the life in China soon．

Shaking hands seems like a gesture(手势) that has been used forever． A throne from the ancient Assyria Shalmaneser I in the 9th century BC clearly shows two persons shaking hands． The Homeric epic(荷马史诗) Iliad, dated back to the 8th century BC, also mentions that two persons “shook each other’s hands”． Centuries later, Shakespeare wrote in As You Like It that two persons “shook hands”． It might seem like shaking hands is an old custom, the roots(根) of which are lost to the sands of time．
Historians have noticed that shaking hands in the modern time doesn’t appear until the mid-19th century, when it was considered a little improper gesture that should only be used between friends．
The modem handshake as a form of greeting is harder to find． One of the earliest evidences(证据) is a 16th-century German translation of a French book which mentions shaking hands． There’s another evidence for a handshaking tradition at that time: In 1607, the writer James Cleland said that he’d rather shake the two right hands together instead of bowing(弯曲) down to everyone’s shoes and kissing hands．
As the centuries passed, handshaking was replaced(替代) by another greeting way like bowing． According to Roodenburg, handshaking survived in remote areas, where they’d use the gesture to reconcile after a fight． Then, the handshake appeared again as a standard greeting way that remains today．
Not everyone fell in love with the handshake, however． According to an article from December 1884, in France, for example, a society has been recently formed to stop using shake-hands．
Why was shaking hands considered as a good way of greeting? The most popular explanation is that it uses the right hand, making it useless for weapon(武器) holding． In the 19th century, shaking hands without taking gloves away was quite rude and required to say sorry immediately．
Sadly, in a world where unknown translations provide only some evidence, the true reason may remain forever unknown．
21．What can we know from paragraph 1?
A．Nothing can show the history of shaking hands．
B．The sands have taken away the way of greeting．
C．The lost time can’t be found any more．
D．The true reason for shaking hands is hard to find．
22．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “reconcile” in Paragraph 4?
A．work together with somebody else B．organize something peaceful
C．be friends with each other again D．live a happy life with others
23．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Handshaking was a popular way of greeting as early as the 19th century．
B．Not all people like the way of greeting each other by shaking hands．
C．People shake hands with right hands because they don’t need to take off gloves．
D．There are lots of facts showing the true reason for shaking hands．
24．Which of the following may be the best title of the passage?
A．Evidence of handshake becoming a way of greeting
B．Some greeting manners around the world
C．The history of handshake as a way of greeting
D．A story of handshake as a way of greeting

三、阅读判断
The Chinese character fu is a necessity in Spring Festival celebrations． The tradition of pasting（粘贴） the character fu on walls and doors has been around for a long time． It’s recorded that people already practiced this tradition in the Song Dynasty．
There is a story about the origin（起源）of pasting the “reversed（颠倒）fu”． Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, once used the character fu as a secret signal to kill a family for insulting（侮辱）his wife, Empress Ma． To avoid the disaster（灾难）, the kind-hearted Empress Ma ordered every family in the capital to paste the character fu in front of their doors before the sun rose the next day． Everyone followed her order, but one family pasted the character fu upside down, because they couldn’t read or write．
The next day, when the emperor ordered his soldiers to check, they found the character fu everywhere, including the upside-down one． The emperor was very angry and immediately ordered his palace guards to kill the family who had pasted the character fu differently．
Realizing the situation was not good, Empress Ma said to the emperor, “That family knew that you were coming to visit them today, so they pasted the character fu upside down on purpose． Doesn’t it have the same meaning as “fu arrives”?”
After hearing this, the emperor immediately set the family free． From then on, people began to paste the character fu upside down with the purpose of hoping for luck and honoring Empress Ma．
判断正误（正确“T”，错误“F”）

七、阅读回答问题
阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
Many books have been written about the art of giving． But what about the art of receiving? Sometimes receiving a gift can be difficult, especially when someone buys you a gift you don’t want．
“I remember when I was about twelve years old, my parents bought me a purple wallet,” laughs Guo Xiaojing． “It really made me feel embarrassed, because to be honest, I thought the wallet was really ugly! Still, I pretended that I liked it because I knew it would make my parents happy．”
Han Ling agrees． “That sounds like my grandparents． A few years ago, my grandparents gave me an orange sweater for my birthday． I used to wear it every time I visited their house, but when I left their house, I took it off! Of course, this made me feel guilty（内疚的）． It was a very nice thought, but my grandparents and I have different tastes! I think it’s hard to buy clothes or other personal things for people．”
To make things easier, some people would rather just give money． In some cultures, however, receiving money can make people uncomfortable． “When someone gives me money, it just makes me think they are being lazy”, says John Wilson．“In England, we have a saying: It’s the thought that counts． When someone gives me money, I feel they didn’t think at all． I prefer to receive a gift that has some thought behind it． I don’t mind if it’s something I don’t need． If someone has thought about a gift for me, it always makes me happy．”
Different people have very different thoughts on this subject!
So maybe the art of receiving is even more difficult than the art of giving． What do you think?
76．How did Guo Xiaojing feel when she received a purple wallet?

When someone does something for us or gives us something, saying “thank you” is good manners． When we hurt someone, saying “I’m sorry” is also good manners． It’s good manners to say “excuse me” if we need to get another person’s attention． However, good manners are not only words but also actions． When we give someone else our seats on a crowded(拥挤的) bus, when we hold the door open for another person to walk through, when we knock before opening the closed door of a room, those things show good manners． When we meet someone for the first time, it’s good manners to smile and say “hello” and give our name． When people come to our house, it’s good manners to greet them with a smile, and say something like “thank you for coming” when they go home．
Sometimes, good manners be the things we don’t do． When we don’t talk with a full mouth or cut into the line, that is showing good manners． When we don’t try to get the attention of someone on the telephone, that’s good manners, too．
People often feel “not quite right”． Bad weather, a stressful(紧张的) day, and sickness can make people upset easily． But when we use good manners, we can make people feel more comfortable．

I get lucky money every year． My dad set up a bank account for me when I was eight． So I save most of my lucky money for future use while keeping a little as pocket money．
Best wishes．

158．例文
Dear Cathy,
Thanks for your e-mail． I’m glad to hear that you are coming to China．
Let me tell you some Chinese customs． Chinese manners are different from those of other countries． In China, when you meet someone for the first time, you are supposed to shake their hands and you should take off your hat before shaking hands．
When you are at the table, you need to use chopsticks for all foods except soup． Sometimes Chinese hosts use chopsticks to put food in your bowl or on your plate． This is a sign of politeness． The appropriate thing to do is to eat them and say how good it is． Don’t tap your food bowl with chopsticks． Beggars often tap their rice bowls when begging, so it’s not polite．
Looking forward to your coming to China!
