Now let’s learn more about the greeting customs in different cultures.‎ France France people greet each other with a handshake, but close friends kiss each other on the cheek（面颊）when they meet. They do this when meeting and before leaving.‎ Korea In Korea, it is a sign of respect for people to bow when greeting each other. In Korea, a bow is followed by a handshake. However, Korea women do not shake hands with western men. Instead, they bow slightly.‎ Brazil Kissing women on the cheek is a common way of greeting. In a formal situation,‎ ‎ a handshake is often done to show respect. Men should shake hands before and after meeting, and once they have become familiar with each other, a light hug is often given to each other.‎ Ghana In a social situation, it’s polite to greet everyone in the room. A handshake is used in greeting, and the palm must directly touch the palm of the other. It’s considered impolite to touch the back of the hand.‎ ‎21.Two close French friends will kiss each other on the when they meet.‎ A. hand B. neck C. cheek D. arm ‎22.In Brazil, it is very common to _______ for two men who know each other well.‎ A. give a light hug B. kiss on the cheek C. bow to each other D. touch the palm ‎ ‎23.Which is probably the BEST title for the passage?‎ A. Friends Should Greet Each Other B. How to Behave Politely C. All Bad Ways to Greet People D. Greeting Customs in Different Cultures B When I was in elementary school(小学), my teachers always complained about my behavior in class. There was no doubt that I had a great deal of energy, and therefore I always talked with my classmates and sometimes I didn’t pay attention to the lessons, which always made my teachers angry. If you don’t believe me, the comments (评语) on my report cards every year can tell you the story.‎ In my third year of elementary school, my teacher wrote, “Neil should have a more serious attitude towards his schoolwork.” And in my fifth year, my teacher wrote, “Neil doesn’t work hard to complete his work and his compositions. He has to be encouraged and urged by his parents or teachers.” And after only a few months, my sixth-grade teacher wrote, “Less social involvement and more academic diligence (勤奋) is in order.”‎ Later that same school year, my sixth-grade teacher noticed that all my book reports were about the universe ( 宇宙). Knowing that I had a lot of extra energy, she suggested that I take advantage of after-school classes about the universe ‎ at the Hayden Planetarium.‎ From then on, my interest in the universe became stronger and stronger. Instead of killing my time in class, I focused my extra energy on the subject that might become my career in the future. Between the ages of eleven and seventeen, I took about eight courses on the universe. I received an attractive certificate ( 证书) on successful completion of the course, signed by both the instructor and the head of the Hayden Planetarium.‎ Now I am the director of the Hayden Planetarium and a research associate (合伙人) of the Department of Astrophysics at the American Museum of Natural History, both in New York City. We still offer these classes today and give out certificates of completion, which are signed by the instructor and me. Welcome to take extra classes here.‎ ‎24. What can we learn about the author in his elementary school from the passage?‎ A. He was always energetic and clever. ‎ B. He took his teachers’ comments seriously every term.‎ C. He performed badly in his studies and made trouble in class.‎ D. He always showed little interest in after-class activities.‎ ‎25. The author’s sixth-grade teacher advised him to _____.‎ A. focus his extra energy on the study of the universe ‎ B. leave his school for the Hayden Planetarium C. make up his mind to find his career in the future ‎ D. get encouragement from his parents ‎26.

I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa. But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza（比萨饼）. I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza. It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world, I thought.‎ Many years later I finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that it was Pisa and no pizza. But there was still something special about it for me. The tower got its name because it really does lean to one side. Some people want to try to fix（修理）it. They are afraid it may fall over and they don’t like it leans over the city.‎ I don’t think it’s a good idea to try to fix it. The tower probably will not fall down. It is 600 yeas old. Why should anything happen to it now? And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like now. To me it is a very human kind of leaning. Nothing is perfect, it seems to say.‎ And who cares? Why do people want things to be perfect? Imperfect things may be more interesting. Let’s take the tower of Pisa for example. Why is it so famous? There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy. But Pisa tower is the most famous. People come from all over the world to see it.‎ ‎28. This passage is about _______.‎ A. why the writer likes Pisa B. how the Leaning Tower of Pisa got its name C. what are Italy’s problems D. how the Italian pizza was made ‎29. The writer used to think Pisa ________.‎ A.in Spain B. not the same as pizza ‎ C. the same as pizza D. not very famous ‎30. The writer ________.‎ A. doesn’t like what the tower looks like B. thinks it’s the most beautiful tower in Italy C. doesn’t like towers D. likes what the tower looks like ‎31. The writer likes the Leaning Tower of Pisa because _______.‎ A. it’s old B. it’s perfect C.it sells pizza D. it’s imperfect D An international group of coffee experts has considered Ethiopia’s coffee（埃塞俄比亚咖啡） as the best in the world. Coffee is a top export (出口物) of the country. But at home, it isseen as national pride. Ethiopians feel good about their coffee, and enjoying a drink with friends is a long tradition.‎ Some people say the climate produces quality beans. Morton Wennersgarrd is a coffee importer（进口商）. He said, “Ethiopia has different ancient types of coffee. They are planted in places with perfect soil, perfect altitude, and climates that are really suitable for coffee processing（加工）.”‎ Finding the best quality beans is often an issue of taste. The process is known as cupping — tasting and comparing coffee from different roasted beans, grading and then pricing them. But before international experts come to taste, coffee beans are studied in small coffee laboratories. Helen Assefa, a lab technician, describes the process, “When the coffee comes to the lab, we assess (评价) its quality first by recording the details. Then we weigh the moisture (水分) level and we examine the beans for analysis. After that we grind (磨碎) the coffee beans and taste the samples. At the end we check for defective beans.” Mubarik Abaoli is a lab worker. He says that testing is a very difficult and long process. “We select out the defects by hand. And we select out the defect according to the defect types.”‎ Ethiopia has got a lot of money by exporting coffee to more than 120 countries. The country has an export revenue (税收) of more than $840 million a year. But not all the best coffee leaves Ethiopia. Forty percent of the coffee grown in the country stays there. It remains an important part of everyday life at work, at home and at ceremonies.‎ ‎32. Ethiopians’ attitude towards coffee may best be described as _____.‎ A. proud B. relaxed C. brave D. doubtful ‎33. The third paragraph is mainly about _____.‎ A. the ways of making coffee B. the process of assessing the coffee C. the tips on planting the best coffee D. the influence of the coffee ‎34. What is the meaning of the word “defective”in paragraph 3 ?‎ A. 饱满的 B. 有瑕疵的 C. 苦涩的 D. 美味的 ‎35. What is the main purpose of the passage?‎ A. To advertise the coffee in Ethiopia. ‎ B. To comment on coffee experts’ work.‎ C. To introduce the best coffee in the world. ‎ D. To recommend tourists activities in Ethiopia.‎ 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to keep healthy? It’s easy for us to catch a cold in winter and spring because the weather changes a lot in spring and it is too cold in winter. But if we take care in our life, all of us can keep healthy without any cold.‎ ‎ 36 . This will stop germs (细菌) passing from one person to another.

Although young people have more choices nowadays than in the past, the test is still an important, lifechanging event. That's why local authorities and parents have done everything possible to make sure the test goes smoothly.‎ ‎ One measure taken lately is traffic control around examination sites. It aims to create a peaceful environment so that students taking the exam are not distracted.‎ ‎ Some are willing to cooperate. They understand students are all under great pressure. What's more, they say traffic control is just temporary. It doesn't last a very long time. So, it's not a big deal.‎ ‎ However, not everyone thinks so. Some people argue that the first and the most important lesson students should learn before graduation is to respect other people's interests. It is not reasonable to disturb other people's lives for the Gaokao. The second reason is that they think many parents are too sensitive to the Gaokao. One's future depends on one’s self, not on society.‎ ‎ Anyway, the whole society has done a lot for students and the exam. In my personal opinion, I take this sacrifice as a sign of special caring for students by society. It is very common to see some traffic policemen at the crossroads near high schools during these two special days.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
