People in different countries have different ways of doing things. Something that is polite in one country may be quite impolite in another. In Britain, you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some liquid (液體) food. But it’s different in China. And in Japan you even needn’t worry about making noises when you have it. It shows that you are enjoying it. But it is regarded as bad manners in Britain. If you are a visitor in Mongolia, what manners do they wish you to have? They wish you to give a loud “burp”(打嗝) after you finish eating, Burping shows that you like the food.
In Britain, you should try not to put your hands on the table when you’re having a meal. In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table during a meal. But in Arab countries you must be very careful with your hands. You mustn’t eat with your left hand. Arabs consider it very bad manners eating with left hands. So, what should you do if you are on a visit in another country? Well, just do in Rome as the Romans do. You can ask the native (本土的)people to help you or just watch carefully and follow them.
小題1: According to the passage, making noises when you have liquid food isn’t bad manners in        .
A.ChinaB.JapanC.BritainD.Mongolia
小題2:           is bad manners in Britain.
A.Eating food without making noises
B.Putting liquid food in the bowl
C.Having soup directly with a bowl
D.Keeping hands off the table
小題3:From the passage, we can infer(推斷) that           .
A.Mongolian people burp when they are eating
B.Japanese people all make noises when drinking
C.Chinese people never make noises at table
D.few Arabs eat with left hands
小題4:The passage mainly tells us            .
A.some table manners in Britain
B.some different table manners
C.different ways of having liquid food
D.to have good manners

小題1:B 
小題2:C
小題3:D
小題4:B

試題分析:
小題1:通過in Japan you even needn’t worry about making noises when you have it.可知,在日本,當(dāng)你喝東西時(shí),可以出聲音。所以本題選B。
小題2:In Britain, you mustn’t lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having some liquid (液體) food本句的意思是“在英國(guó),當(dāng)你喝東西時(shí),你一定不要將碗放到嘴邊喝!笨芍狢“用碗直接喝湯.”是不禮貌的。所以本題選C。
小題3:通過 after you finish eating可知,是吃完飯后,而不是吃飯時(shí),故A是錯(cuò)誤的;文中說喝東西時(shí),可以有聲音,但沒說吃東西時(shí),故B是錯(cuò)誤的;通過 it’s different in China.可知,在中國(guó)吃東西時(shí),也是有聲音的,故C是錯(cuò)誤的;通過But in Arab countries you must be very careful with your hands. You mustn’t eat with your left hand可知,本題應(yīng)該選D。
小題4:通過People in different countries have different ways of doing things一句和閱讀全文,可知,本文主要講述了不同國(guó)家的餐桌禮儀。所以本題選B。
點(diǎn)評(píng):本文主要是比較不同國(guó)家之間的餐桌禮儀,同樣的行為在不同國(guó)家有不同的要求。所以在閱讀時(shí)應(yīng)該注意比較它們的不同之處。特別是同一種行為在不同國(guó)家的表現(xiàn)。另外,應(yīng)注意根據(jù)信息能對(duì)問題加以推測(cè)。

Old Cremona Violins
Most musicians(音樂家) agree that the best violins(小提琴) were first made in Cremona, Italy, about 200 years ago. These violins sound better than any others. They even sound better than violins made today. Violin makers and scientists try to make instruments(樂器) like the Italian violins. But they aren’t the same. Musicians still prefer the old ones.
Some people think it is the age of the violins. But not all old violins sound wonderful. Only the old violins from Cremona are special(特殊的). So age cannot be the answer.
Other people think the secret to those violins is the wood. The wood must be from certain kinds of trees.
But the kind of wood may not be so important. It may be more important to cut the wood in a special way. Wood for a violin must be cut very carefully. It has to be the right size and shape(形狀). The smallest difference will change the sound of the violin. Musicians sometimes think that this was the secret of the Italians. Maybe they understood more than we do about how to cut the wood.
Size and shape may not be the answer, either. Scientists can make new ones that are exactly the same size and shape. But the new violins still do not sound as good as the old ones. Some scientists think the secret may be the varnish. Varnish is what covers the wood of the violin. It makes the wood look shiny. It also helps the sound of the instrument. But no one knows what the Italian violin makers used in their varnish.
小題1:The passage is about          .
A.making violinsB.musical instruments
C.scientific ideasD.the old Italian violins
小題2:Other people think the Italian violin makers          .
A.did not know much about violinsB.were lucky
C.used many kinds of woodD.knew something special
小題3:Violins made today          .
A.have the same size and shape as the old ones
B.sound the same as the old ones
C.a(chǎn)re better than the old ones
D.have the same varnish as the old ones
小題4:Some scientists believe that the secret of the old violins was          .
A.their soundB.their colourC.their varnishD.the music

British English and American English
A student is studying British English. He wonders: Can I have a talk with Americans? Can they catch me? Learners of English often ask--what are the differences between British English and American English? How important are these differences?
Certainly, there are some differences between British English and American English. There are a few differences in grammar(語法). For example, speakers of British English say “in hospital” and “Have you a pen?” Americans “in the hospital” and “Do you have a pen?” Pronunciation (發(fā)音) is sometimes different. Americans usually sound the “r” in words like “car”and “farm”. Some speakers of British English do not sound the “r” in these words. There are differences between British English and American English in spelling and vocabulary. For example, “colour”and “honour” are British English spellings. “Color” and “honor” are American English spellings.

Have you heard about “Survival Holidays”? It is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.
The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.
