【2】who;

【3】situated;

【4】highly;

【5】However;

【6】was defeated;

【7】what;

【8】death;

【9】poet;

【10】a

【解析】试题分析：本文属于说明文，主要介绍了中国传统节日：端午节的来历。

【1】falls; 考查时态。端午节在中国的农历五月初五，这是一个习惯性的事情，所以使用一般现在时，主语是it，即the Dragon Boat Festival，所以谓语动词使用第三人称单数falls。

【2】who; 考查定语从句。本题定语从句的先行词是Qu Yuan，关系代词who指代先行词在句中做主语。

【3】situated; 考查分词做定语。本句中动词situate意为“使处于…地位（位置）”，该动词与前面的名词the State of Chu构成被动关系，所以使用过去分词situated构成的短语“situated in....”做定语修饰该名词。

【4】highly; 考查副词。在英语中通常使用副词修饰形容词、副词或动词。所以本句中使用副词highly修饰形容词respected。

【5】However; 考查上下文串联。他很正直，忠诚并受到高度尊敬，然而，却因为建议联合其他国家抵抗秦国而被解雇。根据上下文的句意可知表示转折关系，所以使用however表示转折。

【6】was defeated; 考查时态语态。楚国被秦国打败这是在战国时期发生的事情，所以使用过去时；而且构成被动关系，也要使用被动语态。

【7】what; 考查主语从句。本句中what引导起主语从句并在句中作动词do的宾语。句意：他意识到自己没有什么能做的。

【8】death; 考查名词。横线前面有定冠词the修饰，横线后面有介词短语of Qu Yuan，说明该词应该使用名词形式，形容词dead的名词形式是death。

【9】poet; 考查名词。名词poem意为“诗歌”，“poet”意为“诗人”；本句中the great poet伟大诗人就是指屈原。句意：楚国人到汨罗江边祭奠他们热爱的伟大的诗人。

【10】a 考查冠词。本句中不定冠词a表示泛指，中国的传统节日有很多，端午节只是其中之一。句意：端午节是中国人一项传统的节日。

【题目】Finding a good friend can be quite difficult in the contemporary lives of teenagers. I was oncebaffledby what the definition of a good friend was, until I discovered a single step that, if taken, would make you the greatest friend.

It is willingness. That is all it takes in order to be considered a good friends. Willingness must come from within your heart. Listening to your friends makes them feel important, special and wanted. The will to sacrifice for your friends will also take you a step closer to being a good friend. For instance, as you are about to leave to enjoy your Saturday night, your best friend calls you right when you are stepping out and tells you how terrible he feels, you must be willing to give up your Saturday night and go to your friends house and try to comfort him in anyway that you can.

You must always be willing to give advice to your friends. For example, if your friends are in a situation where they do not know what to do, you must be willing to think things through and try to give them the best advice. The willingness to care is also a big must in being a good friend. You must care about how your friends feel and what they’re experiencing. Caring about your friends is one of the best things you can do, because when your friends are in their time of need and the whole world seems to turn against them, you must be the one to care about them.

Nobody ever said being a good friend was easy. If you want to be a good friend, you have to be willing to listen, sacrifice, give advice and care about your friends.

【题目】Meeting people from another culture can be difficult. From the beginning, people may send the wrong signal. Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a relationship.

Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or less degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries — like the UK or France — people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.

Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.

Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.

People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.

【1】In some countries, eating together at restaurants may make it easier for people to ________.

A. get to know each otherB. share the same culture

C. keep each other companyD. develop closer relations

【2】The author mentions his experience in Thailand to show that ________.

A. the English prefer to make long speeches

B. even talk and silence can be culturally different

C. too many words are of no use

D. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature

【3】What would be the best title for the text?

A. How to Understand Each Other.

B. Multicultural Environment.

C. How to Build Up a Relationship.

D. Cross-Cultural Differences.

【题目】As a general rule, a band may start as a group of high-school students 【1】 (share) the same interest in music. They may first practise their music in someone’s house. And then the musicians may get the chance to give 【2】 (perform) in pubs or clubs, for which they are paid

【3】 cash. As time goes by, they gradually become known to the audience and some even make records!
