练习册系列答案

Sending gifts varies greatly from country to country. In Australia, Canada, the United States 【1】 European countries, sending gifts is rarely expected. While seen as a nice gesture, it is more important to avoid 【2】 (give) highly personal gifts such as clothing. When visiting the home of a colleague from one of these 【3】 (country), it is normally appropriate to bring a gift to the hostess.

In America, 【4】 (expense) gifts are definitely out. A good 【5】 (choose) is to take the deserving person to dinner, or to 【6】 entertainment or a sporting event. 【7】 the contrary, gift giving is a traditional custom in Japan. In Japan the proper gift is thought 【8】 (express)the giver's true friendship, gratitude and respect far 【9】 (well) than words can. So if you plan to visit Japan or to have any Japanese visit you here, be prepared.

Australia is known for its friendliness and informality. So modest gifts, such as a diary, a paperweight, or a coffee cup might 【10】 (present) to a friend. At a trade show, Tshirts, ties, baseball caps, or a pin may be appropriate souvenirs. Anything more than these types of gifts could cause embarrassment.

【题目】He started early _______he could get there before nine

A. in order that　　B. because　　　 C. so as to　　 D. in order to

【题目】 It was a little before nine o'clock on Tuesday night. 【1】 “Do you need a second helping of pudding?"a waitress asked. Antonio, who had already finished a plate of pasta,a Fish Stew and a slice of cake, couldn't answer it right away. The question might be common for most diners, but for him, it was entirely novel because he was homeless and was having the meal for free. 【2】 .He had no preparation for it.

【3】But at night, it transforms itself into a pioneering place where homeless people such as Antonio can dine free of charge, at tables set with flowers, metal cutlery（餐具）and proper glasses.

The restaurant is the latest initiative（初步行动）from the charity Mensajeros de la Paz.It was founded 54 years ago by Father Angel Garcia Rodriguez. Its business model – using breakfast and lunch takings from paying customers to fund free evening meals for the homeless - is simple enough. 【4】 “The inspiration came from Pope Francis, who's spoken again and again about the importance of giving people dignity, whether it's through bread or through work," said Father Angel. “ 【5】People with nothing can come and eat in the restaurant and get the same treatment as everyone else. It's just common sense."

A.By day, the Robin Hood restaurant, which sits on a side street near the center of Madrid,is a typical Spanish bar.

B.So we thought, why not open a restaurant with tablecloths, proper cutlery and waiters?

C.They plan to extend the scheme and hopes it will attract famous chefs to come to cook.

D.It was the first time that he had been asked such a question.

E.The homeless are treated with respect at the restaurant.

F.Antonio found himself facing a welcome dilemma.

G.Its aim, however, is a little ambitious.

The Silk Road is in fact a【1】(relative) recent term. These ancient roads had no particular name 【2】 in the middle of the 1800s, Baron Ferdinand Von Richthofen named the trade and communication network the Silk Road. Since then the term has been accepted globally.

In the 【3】(nineteen) century, a new type of travelers stepped onto the Silk Road: archaeologists and geographers, enthusiastic explorers who were eager 【4】(look) for adventure.

Today, many historic buildings and monuments still stand, 【7】 (mark) the passage of the Silk Road through hotels, ports and cities.

【题目】阅读下面材料，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

China’s new cross-sea bridge was 【1】(office) opened on 24th October after 9 years of construction. The 55-kilometre-long structure is the 【2】(long) over-sea bridge in the world, 【3】(link) the cities of Hong Kong and Macau to the Chinese mainland.

In one section, the bridge consists of 【4】 6.7-kilometre undersea tunnel (隧道) and two artificial islands. The tunnel is built for ships 【5】(cross) and planes to take off from the nearby Hong Kong International Airport. As there is height limitation in the airspace, the tunnel must 【6】(build) subsea instead of a bridge with tall towers.

About 400,000 tons of steel was used in the project, equal 【7】 eight times the amount used to build the Sydney Harbour Bridge. According to 【8】(it) engineers, it should be able to withstand a magnitude-8 earthquake, a super typhoon, or a collision with a 300,000-tonne ship.

With full 【9】(cover) of 4G network, the bridge can be seen as a unique application of wireless technology. According to Chinese media, authorities will use facial recognition system to detect yawning drivers on the bridge. 【10】 a driver yawns three times, an alarm will go off.

【题目】 Ladies, if you find yourselves wandering an unknown city with a man who is questioning your directional abilities, don’t doubt yourselves.

A recent small study published in the journal Psychological Science found that the longstanding theory that women have a more difficult time reading maps wasn’t true.

Historically, men have performed better than women in studies that tested their spatial(空间的)ability. But the leading study author Margaret Tarampi and a researcher from the University of California, Santa Barbara theorized that social influences had an effect on this outcome: The cultural belief that women are worse at reading maps could be seen as a stereotype(固有模式) threat, meaning women believe they’re bad at something, so they perform poorly as a result. The researchers also theorized that women performed better at skills that involve a social element. In other words, if reading a map means helping someone else, they might perform better.

Tarampi and her team tested both theories on undergraduate students at UCSB across three separate experiments. And, indeed, the results showed that men scored better than women only when they were mentioned the stereotype of male superiority before the test.

When the researchers did not mention it and gave a social context for reading the map, women’s scores improved across the board. Women also performed better when the test maps simply included human figures, rather than just random objects and landmarks.

So ladies, next time you struggle to figure out whether you should make a left or right at the Louvre, take out your tourist map with a healthy dose of confidence.

Amid the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia, almost everyone in China wears a face mask to protect themselves and other people 【1】 the virus. However, many people in the West feel reluctant to wear masks 【2】 there is an increasing number of their compatriots(同胞）being infected.

According to the Global Times, different attitudes toward 【3】 (wear) masks largely lie in the cultures. In the West, 【4】 people generally believe is that unless one is already ill, wearing a mask is simply unnecessary.

Siva Kumar from the US is one of them. “Masks can only protect you from particulate matter in the air you breathe, but they can't filter (过滤) out microbes (微生物), "Kumar told China Daily. “wearing a mask when you're healthy 【5】(cause) tension for others."

US infection prevention specialist Eli Perencevich told Forbes, "The average healthy person 【6】 not wear masks." She added, “If they wear them incorrectly it can increase the risk of infection because they're touching their faces more often."

However, for people in Asian countries like China, wearing a mask is engrained (根深蒂固的) in their culture. 【7】 (Value) collectivism (集体主义), people in Asia always want to make contributions to the groups 【8】they belong to. In such uncertain and potentially dangerous time, many people have taken the responsibility 【9】(wear) face masks to ensure the safety of their communities.

Chen Xinjie, a media worker in Beijing said: "Wearing the mask for a long time is stuffy(闷热的) and uncomfortable…But as a member of the group, it's our duty to do so."

【10】(Influence) by social cultures, the attitudes toward wearing a mask can be different in the East and West. But as US essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “We must each respect others even as we respect ourselves."
