课时跟踪练(三) Lesson 2 & Lesson 3 Pre-reading.阅读理解ADo people in your country hug (拥抱) on the street? In some countries, it is common for people to show affection (亲热) in public places. In the United States, for example, we often see couples hold hands, hug and kiss on the street, in the park, in the restaurant and even on trains and buses! But in some other countries, people never show affection in public places because their customs dont permit this. For example, in Korea (朝鲜) and China, customs usually dont permit people to show affection in public places. So, when Korean and Chinese people visit the United States, they sometimes feel very surprised when they see Americans hug and kiss on the street. In some countries, friends show physical affection to each other. In some South American countries, female friends walk arm in arm when they walk along the street together. In Italy and Russia, male friends often kiss each other on both cheeks when they greet. In most countries, men dont kiss or hug when they greet one another. They usually shake hands or pat each other on the back. People around the world are different in the amount, manner, and situation in which they touch each other.1.

This grinandbearit attitude in the face of adversity (逆境) or embarrassment lives on today.As a nation, the British tend not to appear terribly lively when they speak. This does not mean that they do not have strong emotions; merely that they do not choose to put them on public display. They generally dont show their feelings very openly, and, unless you know someone well, they may not appreciate it if you put your arm around their shoulder. Kissing is most often for family members in the privacy of home, rather than in public. Youll see that the British prefer to maintain a few feet of distance between themselves and the person to whom they are speaking. If you have insulted (冒犯) someone, their facial expression may not change.The British will not necessarily give you a tour of their home and, in fact, may keep most doors closed. They expect others to respect their privacy. This extends to not asking personal questions. The question “Where are you from？” may be viewed as an attempt to “place” the person on the social or class scale. Even close friends do not ask pointedly personal questions, particularly concerning ones financial situation or relationships.The British are a bit calmer in their body language and hand gestures while speaking. They are generally more distant than North and South Americans and Southern Europeans, and may not appear to be as open or friendly at the beginning. Friendships take longer to build; however, once established they tend to be deep and may last over time and distance.语篇解读：本文为说明文。英国人以矜持和情感不外露而出名，因此在跟他们交往时，也要注意尊重他们的隐私。5When you do something rude to the British, the will _.Afight backBgive a smileCremain calm Dlook at you angrily解析：选C细节理解题。由第二段“If you have insulted (冒犯) someone, their facial expression may not change.”可知，即使受到挑衅，英国人的面部表情也不会发生变化。6Which of the following is TRUE about the British?AThey use a lot of body language.BThey value their privacy greatly.CThey dont have strong emotions.DThey are not good at making friends.解析：选B细节理解题。由第三段“They expect others to respect their privacy.”可知，英国人很注重隐私。7What can be the best title for the text?AThe stiff upper lip of the BritishBPrivacy of the BritishCThe British attitude in adversityDThe British way of communication解析：选A标题归纳题。文章主要说明英国人的矜持和不动声色，因此用“英国人紧绷的上嘴唇”最能体现文章主题。CThe Gold Coast family holidays are always great fun whether you are from Australia or from abroad. There are beautiful beaches, adventure parks, nature parks and so much more.There are so many sights to see here. It is a pity to drive a car and youll miss a great part of it. Australia is home to many animals and birds that can only be seen when moving slowly and going into the areas where they live.When you are on a bicycle, you have the advantage of being able to stop whenever you want to catch sight of an interesting animal or bird that you have never seen before. It is a quieter mode of transportation as well, so you might even be able to take a picture. When you are on the beach, you can breathe that clean air and view the beauty of the water and sand. It is a totally different experience from either simply sunbathing or passing it in a car.There are many choices of hiring (租) a bicycle to experience the Gold Coast attractions. There are stores that will fit a bike perfectly to your size. These bikes for both adults and children are in many styles and colors to please any taste. If you have ever wanted to try a tandem bike (双人单车), now is your chance, because they have those too.A bicycle hire on Gold Coast is something that everyone should try at least once.
