1.In England three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop.They studied the information on the post sign and decided which bus to take.About five minutes later the bus they wanted came along.They prepared to get on.Suddenly people rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way.Someone shouted  insulting words about the foreigners.The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about.The three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and ashamed.No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus so that the first person who arrived at a bus-stop is the first person to get on the bus.
Learning the language of a country isn't enough.If you want to ensure a pleasant visit,find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your hosts.You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own.A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table.The left hand should be used for washing yourself.Also in India,You might see a man apparently shaking his head at another and consider that he is disagreeing.But in many parts of India shaking one's head means expressing agreement.Nodding your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty.In that country you shake your head to express"yes"-a nod means"no".
In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting,talking to someone,even at an important meeting.Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand,however,could cause offence (冒犯).It is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion.Also when in Thailand avoid touching the head of an adult-it's just not done.
Attitudes to women vary a lot around the world.In Japan,for example,it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainments for themselves and leave their wives at home.
Knowing about customs and attitudes is useful when you are traveling,but you also need to know the language used to express different degrees of formality (礼节).

41.The three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and ashamed becauseC.
A.they didn't know the English language
B.the bus conductor told them to jump the queue
C.they didn't know the custom of lining up for a bus
D.they thought they were not respected
42.What's the meaning of the underlined word"insulting"in Para.1?D
A.generous    B.entertaining     C.misunderstanding    D.rude
43.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passage?B
A.In Europe,using the left hand is considered less respected.
B.In India,the left hand is not used as a sign of respect to others.
C.In Thailand,you'd better cross your legs when sitting or talking.
D.In Japan,it is considered bad manners to touch the head of an adult.
44.The underlined sentence"Nodding your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty"means in BulgariaC.
A.you are probably thirsty if you nod your head
B.you're possibly eager to have a drink if you nod your head
C.you probably refuse to drink when you nod your head
D.you'd like to have a cup of tea because you nod your head
45.We can infer from the passage thatD.
A.in Asian countries,women are equal to men in every field
B.learning a language well is a necessity before going abroad
C.attitudes to women vary a lot around the world.
D.in Japan,men are still the centre of the family.

分析 本文属于说明文阅读,作者通过这篇文章主要向我们描述了三个外国人没遵守英国人排队的习俗而引起冲突的故事来说明不同语言和地区的文化存在差异.

解答 41.C.细节理解题.由第一段最后一句No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus so that the first person who arrived at a bus-stop is the first person to get on the bus.可知这三位外国人不知道英国人必须排队上车的风俗习惯,所以感到很困惑和羞愧;故选C.
42.D.推理判断题.由第一段中的文字…push them out of the way和Someone shouted…可知他们对这三个外国人不友好,而且很无礼,由此推断insulting为"辱骂的,无礼的"之意;故选D.
43.B.细节理解题,由第二段第四行A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table.可以知道答案;故选B.
44.C.细节理解题.由第二段最后一句In that country you shake your head to express"yes"-a nod means"no"可知在比利时,如果你点头就表示拒绝,而摇头却表示同意,所以画线部分的意思是,在比利时,当别人给你倒茶时,你点头,别人就认为你不想要;故选C.
45.D.推理判断题.由倒数第二段最后一句In Japan,for example,it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainments for themselves and leave their wives at home可知在日本,丈夫可以安排在晚上独自出门去娱乐,却把妻子留在家中.我们可由此推断在日本家庭中男人还是家庭的中心.故选D.

点评 考察学生的细节理解和推理判断能力,做细节理解题时一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确的选择.在做推理判断题不要以个人的主观想象代替文章的事实,要根据文章事实进行合乎逻辑的推理判断.

9.Ask someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling.Recycling in the home is very important,of course.However,being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need.We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible,but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.
    The total amount of packaging has increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005.It now makes up a third of a typical household's waste in the UK.In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.
Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment.The UK,for example,is running out of it for burying this unnecessary waste.If such packaging is burnt,it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect.Recycling helps,but the process itself uses energy.The solution is not to produce such items in the first place.Food waste is a serious problem,too.Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need.However,few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue,encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags,for example.
But this is not just about supermarkets.It is about all of us.We have learned to associate packaging with quality.We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality.This is especially true of food.But it is also applied to a wide range of consumer products,which often have far more packaging than necessary.
There are signs of hope.As more of us recycle,we are beginning to realize just how much unnecessary materials are collected.We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture,but we have a mountain to climb.

16.For most people,the word"fashion"means"clothes".But people ask the question,"What clothes are fashion?"And they use the adjective"fashionable"in the same way:"she was wearing a fashionable coat.""His shirt was really a fashionable color."
But of course there are fashions in many things,not only in clothes.There are fashions in holidays,in restaurants,in films and books.There are even fashions in school subjects,jobs and in languages.
Fashions change as time goes.If you look at pictures of people or things from the past,you will feel that fashions have always changed.An English house of 1950was different from one of 1508.A fashionable man in 1920looked very different from his grandson in 2000.
Today fashions change very quickly.Some of this is natural.We hear about things much more quickly than in the past.Newspapers,radios,telephones and televisions send information from one country to another in a few hours.
New fashions mean that people will buy new things,so you see there is money in fashion.

6.As we all know clothes are necessary and important for human beings.If someone is asked why he or she wears clothes,the answer will probably be"To keep warm and to cover my body".These are the basic reasons clothes are worn,but people also want to look attractive and appear successful to others.
    If people only wore clothes for warmth and to cover their bodies,most clothing would be simple and cheap.In most Western countries,however,clothing is sometimes very expensive.The main reason for this is not the cost the fabric (布料) or the cost of making the clothes.The clothes are expensive because of fashion (时尚).Successful businessmen,for example,often wear very expensive suits,shirts and ties.Sometimes they pay thousands of dollars for a suit and hundreds of dollars for a tie.It's still just a suit and tie but they pay these prices because of the famous name of the designer.A suit costing much less would be just as warm and would cover the wearer's body just as well.
 Fashion is constantly (不断地) changing,which means that people who want to be fashionable have to buy new clothes every few months,even if last month's clothes have only been worn once or twice.Some people have wardrobes (衣柜) full of clothes that have hardly been worn but are no longer in fashion.Being fashionable,therefore,can be a very expensive pastime!

A.Only to cover themselves

C.wear last month's clothes                    
D.buy new clothes once or twice

A.Being fashionable can be very expensive
B.In most western countries,clothing is sometimes expensive

13.(71)CIt is a new term in today's tourism industry.But in an age of growing environmental awareness,it is not too difficult for us to imagine and understand this new form of holiday.
Ecotourism,which is considered as a kind of responsible tourism,is typically defined(定义)as travel to places where special and unusual plants,animals and cultural heritages (遗产) are the main attractions.(72)BTherefore,programs concerning the protection of some natural and cultural spots also form'a part of ecotourism.
Ecotourism is developing at great speed.According to a recent report by the World Tourism Organization,ecotourism in recent years has enjoyed an annual growth of about 5% worldwide.(73)D They include bird watching,hiking,diving,photography and taking part in various kinds of local cultural events.
(74)FHowever,it looks like some smaller towns and country areas may well become the new destinations for people to visit tomorrow because they are rich in ecological,cultural and historical resources (资源).
Ecotourism has been gaining increasing recognition and popularity mainly for the relaxing,natural and vivid experience it offers to tourists.People are attracted to nature  and long to be close to it.However,a conflict between nature and human beings is unavoidable.(75)G

A.The definition of ecotourism is beyond words.
B.It takes ecology and culture into consideration.
C.You may not be very familiar with"ecotourism".
D.More than 80activities have been listed for ecotourism.
E.People can have great fun enjoying nature through ecotourism.
F.Big cities are still the major places.that attract tourists in our society today.
G.How to protect natural resources while taking advantage of them is of great importance.
