visit Russia.“Russians are a very polite people，”I had been told before my arrival.One of my friends explained that a gentleman will pour the lemonade for the ladies and show other good manners.Toward the end of my threeweek trip，I was invited by my Russian friend Nicolai Vasilevich and his wife Yulya out to dinner.At the end of a wonderful meal，Yulya asked if I would like a banana.I politely declined(婉拒)and thanked her，and explained I was most satisfied with the meal.But my mind was racing：“What should I do？Should I offer her a banana though they are as close to her as they are to me？What is the polite thing to do？”“Would you like a banana？”I asked Yulya.“Yes，”she smiled，but didnt try to take any of the three bananas in the fruit basket.“Which one would you like？”I asked again.“That one，”she pointed at one of the bananas.So thinking about Russian politeness，I picked the banana Yulya had pointed at.Then I peeled it half way and handed it to her.Smiles on Yulyas and Nicolais faces told me I had done the right thing.After this experience，I spent much time letting the world know that in Russia，the polite thing was to peel bananas for ladies.However，sometime during my third trip I learned I was wrong.“Oh no，David，”a Russian politely corrected me.“In Russia，when a man peels a banana for a lady，it means he has a romantic interest in her.”How embarrassed I felt.So to communicate properly with people of different cultures，we should watch carefully how people of the same culture communicate with each other.Besides，dont be afraid to ask questions about their culture.【语篇解读】入乡随俗，了解一个国家的文化，得从观察当地人的做法开始，不懂的就问，否则你就会犯和本文作者一样的尴尬错误。1Before his first visit to Russia，the writer learned Russian gentlemen are polite to AforeignersBstrangersCfriendsDwomenD细节理解题。根据第一段第三句“One of my friends explained that a gentleman will pour the lemonade for the ladies and show other good manners.”以及后文作者的做法可知答案为D。2The underlined word “peeled” in Paragraph 6 means Atook the skin off somethingBput something backCmade something cleanDcut something in twoA词义猜测题。根据“Then I peeled it half way and handed it to her.”中的“half way”可以推知作者在递给Yulya香蕉之前先为她剥开了一半。3Which of the following seems to be TRUE according to the passage?AThe writers third trip lasted about three weeks.BRussian gentlemen never peel bananas for ladies.CThe writer tried to follow Russians behavior in Russia.DYulya was pleased with the writers behavior but Nicolai wasnt.C推理判断题。根据最后一段“So to communicate properly with people of different cultures，we should

fulltime circus jobs.They both got jobs with a famous circus and Gareth began training to become a clown.He calls himself Bippo.They travel with the circus during the summer and return home for the winter.Gareths brothers are old enough to look after the house while they are away.“I cant say it was easy，” says Kath.“There was a lot to think about and organise.We only had a car and a very small caravan (可供居住的拖车) to sleep in，and we were leaving behind our lovely house.The only thing Gareth missed was his long，hot baths.”“People ask about my education，”says Gareth，“but from the

was.a clown和最后一段中的It was a difficult.no other way to teach Gareth想要演小丑，而他的父母认为能教他演小丑的唯一办法就是加入马戏团，因此可推断，Gareth的父母加入马戏团的原因是支持他们的小儿子实现梦想。7When the family first joined the circus，Kath Afound things difficultBwanted to go back homeCdid not have enough to doDwas not able to sleep properlyA细节理解题。由第三段中Kath所说的话可知，她觉得刚开始的时候不容易，有很多事情要考虑和安排，住宿条件也非常艰苦。8How does Gareth deal with his education?AHe thinks little of it.BHe mainly learns online.CHe puts his interest first.DHe is doing the best he can.D推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中Gareth所说的话I follow the same books.Ive never fallen behind my

germs (细菌) that hide inside people and make them so sick that they die，”he thought.“Once I find them，Ill think of a way to kill them.”Many people thought Pasteur was wasting his time.Some laughed at him and said，“Youll never do it.”Pasteur didnt care what people thought；he believed in himself.He kept right on working.At the same time，in Germany，a boy named Joey was about to get into trouble.He

parents could only wait.But then there was news.Joeys mother saw it and shouted for joy.“A doctor of science has found a way to save sick people like Joey！” she said.The man，of course，was Louis Pasteur.Joeys parents quickly prepared Joey for the long journey to Pads.“Dr.Pasteur，”said the mother.“Our little boy is very sick.Can you help us？”“Perhaps，”said Pasteur.“Ive invented a vaccine (疫苗)It is strong enough to kill the rabies germs.Joey will be the first person to have my rabies vaccine.”“The first person？”asked Joeys worried father nervously.“Will it be dangerous？Are you sure it will work？”“I believe it will，”said Pasteur.Slowly the vaccine killed more and more of the rabies germs.Joey began to get well.Dr.Pasteurs vaccine was a success!From then on no one had to be afraid of rabies anymore，and people who had laughed at him before，respected him.He is recognized as one of the worlds greatest scientists.【语篇解读】本文是记叙文。文章介绍了研制出狂犬病疫苗的著名法国科学家巴斯德。9What was peoples first reaction

Joey.BPasteurs deep interest in science.CThe first known person to survive rabies.DPasteurs success in finding a treatment for rabies.D主旨大意题。根据文中对巴斯德下定决心研制狂犬病疫苗并最终取得成功的故事可知，该文的主旨就是介绍巴斯德在发明狂犬病疫苗方面取得的成就。.完形填空Most people who travel from China to the US find that，despite having studied English for years，they have to “relearn” it

the US for graduate school，I was a 4 foreigner.I felt so out of place that I wanted to hide everything about me that was “ 5 ”To talk like an American became one of my goals.During my first term as a teaching assistant (TA)，my students 6 they could not understand me.I learned later from a study that this complaint was 7 among the US students with an international TA.It is called the

sb.arrives”。2A.putBpronouncedCusedDunderstoodB从本段后文accent(口音)一词的使用以及下文的描述可以看出，作者是在讨论英语发音的问题。3A.fluencyBsenseCqualityDinterestA从后文.is not enough.You need an accent to stand out.来看，作者认为，要成为the“melting pot”(熔炉)的一部分，光凭一口流利的英语还不够，你还需要借助口音(accent)使自己脱颖而出。fluency“流利，流畅”；sense“感觉”；quality“质量，品质”；interest“兴趣”。4A.nervousBstupidCstrangeDcuriousA从作者后文的描述“I felt so out of place.”，并结合最后一段中的“I am no longer a nervous foreigner”来看，作者初次到美国时的感觉应是“紧张”。5A.valuableBdifferentCdangerousDfoolishB从作者设定的目标“To talk like an American”来看，作者试图掩饰自己与别人不一样的地方。that was “different”作为修饰everything的定语从句，表示“与别人不同的一切”。6A.complainedBwhisperedCtoldDinformedA从后文“they could not understand me”以及下文的complaint一词可推断出，作者在当助教(TA)时学生因听不懂他说的话而抱怨。complain“抱怨”。whisper“低语”；inform“告知”。7A.interestingBrareCcommonDspecialC从后文学生的抱怨“.Not another international TA.”来看，这种抱怨在由外籍助教教授的美国学生中是很普遍的。interesting“有趣的”；rare“罕见的”；common“普遍的”；special“特殊的”。8A.accentBtroubleCChineseDEnglishA从前文可以推断出，外籍助教由于受母语口音的影响，在上课时会被美国学生抱怨。他们不愿再听到这样的口音。通过对下文的理解可确定选项。9A.othersBnativeCpopularDfamousB为了迎合学生的需要，作者模仿当地人说话的方式。native“本地的，当地的”，native speakers在这里指土生土长的美国人。10A.soBsuchCmuchDmanyB根据句中的that可排除C、D两项。such.that.和so.that.均可表示“如此以至于”，但用法不同。当被修饰的词是不可数名词时，只能用“suchadj.不可数名词that.”结构。progress是不可数名词，可排除A。11A.praiseBencourageCcriticiseDteachA结合语境“我讲的英语几乎没有了口音”，以及下一段中的praise一词可确定选项。encourage“鼓励”；criticise“批评”。12A.regardedBmistakenCtreatedDthoughtBmistake.for.“把错认为是”。因为作者的英语口语中几乎没有了母语的口音，所以人们很难判断出他来自哪里，往往将其误认为是来自其他一些地方的人。13A.countriesBcitiesCstatesDplacesD后文所列举的不仅仅是一些国家的名字，还包括一些地区，所以应选择D。14A.more thanBno longerCnothing butDnot as important asB作者忽然意识到，口音上与美国人的这种一致性对他来说不再是一种赞美。通过对下文的理解可以看出，作者认为在母语口音消失的同时，他也失去了自己的文化特性(cultural identity)。more than “多于”；no longer“不再”；nothing but“只有，仅仅”；not as important as“不如重要”。通过理解句意可确定选项。15A.relatedBjoinedCabsorbedDconnectedC句意：我是不是通过被同化(absorb)到一种新文化中来否定自己的过去？通过理解句意可排除其他选项。relate“与相关”；join“连接，接合”；connect“连接”。16A.doubtBre
