Ⅲ. 完形填空(共10分,每空1分),根据短文内容,从A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。
I recently returned from a trip to New York. I had such a great time in the modern city.
21 , at first I was very nervous because my English was so bad. Slowly I knew that I needn’t 22 a lot when I learned some useful expressions.
Could you please tell me... ?
It is probably the English expression I used 23 because I was outside all day traveling. Knowing how to say “ Where is...” and “How can I get to...” politely will certainly be 24 .
Numbers: One to ten.
Knowing numbers will help you pay the right money, or 25 the right bus.
On my way back from New York, the stewardess (女乘务员) came up to me and asked me a question. While I couldn’t understand, I 26 that she asked for my seat number as she asked other passengers to take their seats. 25F was my seat number. I knew two and five, but I didn’t know twenty-five. 27 speaking, I gestured (打手势) two and five with my hands. The stewardess smiled at me and said “OK”. Hand gestures can work, but knowing 28 to say the numbers is also important !
Excuse me.
Getting people’s 29 in a polite way is important, especially when you need help.
Thank you.
We are polite travelers, so it’s 30 of us to say “Thank you” often.

Passage 2
In the eyes of many foreigners , Chinese are the best hosts (主人) and the worst guests in the world. They are not really bad guests, but because the guest-host relationship in China is much different from that in some western countries, it appears they are not nice guests. And western guests sometimes look rude(粗鲁的) in the eyes of Chinese guests.
In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person’s home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host’s way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.
My wife’s mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn’t smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North America homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you could ask, “Is it OK if I smoke ?” But, don’t be surprised if they say, “ No, you can’t smoke.” In our culture, if you smoke in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they don’t allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.
Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your home, don’t be too surprised if they don’t bring you a gift.
In China, you probably won’t need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.
( ) 36. Many foreigners think that Chinese hosts are the △ in the world .
A. best B. worst C. most natural D. most different
( ) 37. When a western guest visits a Chinese family , he often △ .
A.buys some fruit B.feels like a god
C.wants some gifts D.takes a cup of tea
( ) 38. If the writer’s guests want to smoke in his house, what will he probably say ?
A. It’s OK if you smoke here. B. Let’s smoke together.
C. Sorry, you can’t smoke here. D. Smoking is a bad habit.
( ) 39. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “adapt to” in the passage ?
A.look up to B.get used to
C.look forward to D.keep close to
( ) 40. What is the main idea of this passage ?
A. Foreigners should learn from Chinese .
B. Hosts must do things in the guest’s way .
C. Western hosts are always nice to guests .
D. People should understand cultural differences .
Passage 3 .
At my primary school, I was one of the smartest kids there. I never studied, but always got perfect scores. I thought I was born clever. At least I believed so. I was also a prodigy in music according to myself. I could sing better than almost everyone else in my school. I was pretty sure that once I got to the sixth grade, everyone would be surprised by me.
But actually, they weren’t.
When I arrived at my new class, I couldn’t wait to show everyone what I could do. However, there was always someone else who could do them better. My grades began to suffer. More talented(有天资的) girls often sang solos(独唱) . I believed I wasn’t smart. I believed I wasn’t talented. I believed I was a failure.
Over the next two years, I had to work very hard. Every prize for the singing competition was given to me for hard work and effort. Grades were still very low but improving little by little. I worked really hard. However, I was never the best at everything.
I haven’t realized until recently that I really don’t have to be the best at everything. I was too hard on myself. In fact, when I did badly in a test, my classmates never laughed at me.
No one is perfect. There will probably always be someone better than me at something. Anyway, there are about seven billion people in the world. I will never be the number one at everything, and that’s really okay.
( ) 41.What does “a prodigy” probably mean in English ?
A. A smart kid B. A crazy fan
C. A common child D. A lazy girl
( ) 42. When the writer was at the new class, △ .
A. she lost her interest in music B. she had difficulty in learning
C. She surprised everyone in solos D. she got separated from friends
( ) 43. What happened to the writer during the next two years ?
A. She won many prizes without any effort.
B. She found the best way to become perfect.
C. She gave up trying because of the low scores.
D. She failed to be the perfect though she worked hard.
( ) 44. What has the writer realized recently ?
A. There is no success without effort.
B. Being talented is the key to success.
C. Don’t expect too much of yourself.
D. It’s not necessary to care about the result.
( ) 45.Which would be the best title(题目) for this passage ?
A. When I Wasn’t Perfect
B. My Past Life as a Young Girl
C. Hard Work Doesn’t Work
D. What to Do When You’re Not Perfect

Dear Cindy,
How are you ?I had a great time last Monday. It was a traditional Chinese festival 66
Dragon Boat Festival that day.
This festival is in memory of Qu Yuan, one of the 67 Chinese poets. He killed himself by jumping into the Miluo River on May 5th of the lunar calendar, 278 BC. People there rowed the boats 68 him. But it was too late. They were very sad and then threw 69 into the river to feed the fishes so that they would stay away from his body.
70 then on, every year on this day, people enjoy 71 zongzi which is made of rice with meat, eggs and so on. In the past we ate it only 72 .a year, but now we regard it as our daily food. We can have it any time we like.
Have you ever 73 the dragon boat race on TV? It is another important part of this festival. Several teams row their dragon-shaped boats as 74 as they can. The first team to reach the finish line wins.
If you have a plan to visit China next year, would 75 like to spend this festival with us?
Best wishes!
Yours,
Shen

One week when they were getting ready to go out to dinner, Emma’s dad suggested they try the new Chinese restaurant in town, but Emma and her little brother Josh both disagreed.
“You might actually end up liking it if you give it a try,” said their mom. Their dad added, “Let’s try it once, and if you don’t like it, we can go back to the Italian restaurant.” Emma and Josh agreed and got into the back seat of the car.
When they arrived at the Chinese restaurant, a waiter met them at the door and greeted them with a smile. He led them to a table. The restaurant looked pretty cool, and the waiter was very nice. He told them what some of his favorite dishes were. Emma and Josh took his advice and ordered their dishes. Soon the dishes were ready. After Emma and Josh tasted them, they both said, “You were right, Mom. The food here is pretty delicious.”

Passage 6
阅读短文,完成表格(每空词数不限)。
Good friends cannot always be close together. Sometimes they have to move away. And you may worry that the long distance(距离) might end the friendship. So it is important for us to know how to stay friends over distance.
◆Video chat
Here’s the thing: Life happens. Your friends may have a hard time. It’s worth it to spend an hour talking to them. Talking to your friends keeps the friendship going ! Even if you don’t have very long talks, that’s OK.
◆Share everything
My best friend and I are far apart. But we know everything about each other’s lives. It’s like your friend is still there with you..
◆Presents
This is a fun one and a must. The present shows you care. It doesn’t have to be a lot, but it will let them know you are thinking of them.
◆Be ready for growth
People need space, and that’s fine. Going a little while without talking is not a big thing. Space is also OK. People change and your friends won’t stay the same. Your friend might start to act more and more like a different person. Don’t complain(抱怨) too much, or you will lose your friendship. And you’re changing too.
