Passage One
Different countries have different cultures.A same gesture may havedistinct meanings indifferent countries.For instance，in Africa，people knock at the table withtheir fingers to call waiters which is considered as impolite in China.In western countries.if you make a circlewith your thumb and the index finger(食指)，and then raise the other three fingers.youare suggesting “OK”.The same gesture，however，means “money” in Japan while makesBrazilian people feel insulted(受侮辱的).With that in mind，you’d better learn abouttheir custom before travelling to foreign countries. Greeting is an important part ofcommunication between people.When greeting someone，Americans tend to holdout their hands and look directly into his/her eyes andthen smile.However.sometimessuch behavior might bring nothing but misunderstanding in other countries.A handshake might not be accepted and looking others right in theeye Can have different meanings. Asian people regard physical contact asembarrassin9;therefore，they do not shake hands.They have their ownways of greeting people.For Japanese，a slight bow of the head is enough.In Korea，women do not shake hands or hug with people;whilemen might shake hands accompanied by nodding the head once.In western Asia，Muslims do not make bodycontacts with women yet hug is generally accepted among men.Same thing happens on eye contact.In manycountries，people avoid direct eye contact to showrespect.This can cause misunderstanding，too.In fact. students have been regarded as lacking respectfor their American teachers exactly because they failed to make eye contactswith their teachers. Though different cultures seem to havedifferent ways of greeting.smiling is taken as the universal gesture of friendliness.Smiling indicates happiness or agreement(同意)andit can also be used to mean “Excuse me ”or “Please”.Sowhen you are not sure what to do，just smile.

不同的国家拥有不同的文化。同一个手势可能在不同的国家有着不同的含义。比如，在非洲，人们通过敲打桌子来叫服务员，然而这在中国却是不礼貌的。在西方国家，如果你用大拇指和食指环成一个圈
然后伸出其他三个手指，那就代表着“好的，没问题”。同样的手势在日本是“金钱”的意思，而在巴西则表示对人的侮辱。了解了这些，你最好在到外国旅游之前先了解一下当地的风俗习惯。
问候是人际交往中重要的一部分。当问候别人的时候，美国人会伸出手，直视对方，并且面带微笑。然而，有时候这样的行为会在其他国家造成误解。那些国家的人们不会用握手来彼此问候，而直视对方的眼睛也有着不同的含义。 ‘
亚洲人认为身体接触是一件很尴尬的事情，因此他们并不握手。他们有自己打招呼的方式。对日本人来说，轻轻颔首就足够了。在韩国，女性并不与人握手或者拥抱，而男性则可能握手并且轻轻点一下头。在西亚，穆斯林并不与女性发生身体接触，但是男性之间通常可以互相拥抱。眼神接触也是一样。在许多国家，A.-f]'3用避免眼神接触来表示对对方的尊敬。这也可能造成误解÷事实上，一些亚洲学生因为不与他们的美国老师进行眼神接触而被认为对老师有失尊重。尽管不同的国家有不同的问候方式，微笑被看作是表达友好的通用方式。微笑暗示心情愉悦或者表达认可，同时也可以用来表达“打扰了”或者“请”。所以当你不确定该怎么做的时候，就微笑吧。
细节题。题干意为“当两个日本人见面，他们通过什么方式相互问候?”根据文章第三段第三句“对日本人来说，轻轻颔首就足够了。”可知轻轻点下头就是日本人的问候方式。故D为正确答案。
(7) :D推理题。题干意为“如果一个美国人对一个日本人做出‘0K’的手势，那么日本人可能会认为?”根据第一段第四、五句可知，美国人用“OK”的手势表达“好的，没问题”，而同一个手势在日本表示“金钱”，由此可推知，如果日本人看到美国人摆出“OK”的手势，可能会觉得是想要钱。故D为正确答案。
(8) :B细节题。题干意为“以下哪项中的行为会被认为是不礼貌的?”根据第三段末尾亚洲学生因为不与他们的美国老师进行眼神接触而被认为对老师有失尊重的例子，可以推知美国人习惯进行直接的眼神接触，故A项的行为是礼貌的。根据第三段第三句“对日本人来说，轻轻颔首就足够了。”可知点头致意是日本人的问候方式，故c项的行为是礼貌的。根据第四段第一句可知“微笑被看作是表达友好的通用方式”，因此D项对法国人来讲，用微笑来表达自己喜悦的心情是礼貌的。根据第三段第五句“在西亚，穆斯林并不与女性发生身体接触，但是男性之间通常可以互相拥抱”可知穆斯林的女性是不与人进行身体接触的，所以B项的行为会被认为是不礼貌的。故B为正确答案。
(9) :B主旨题。题干意为“以下哪项是文章的最佳标题?”文章以不同手势在不同国家的不同含义开始，引出各个国家问候方式的不同，接着讲述了不同国家对待身体接触和眼神接触的不同态度。不难看出，文章是围绕“不同国家，不同风俗习惯”这一一个主题进行的。故B为正确答案。

(1) :D他看到一位老妇人和她停在路边的车子。他能看得出这位老妇人需要帮助。因此他把车停在她的车前面然后走了出去。
即使他面带微笑，老妇人依然感到害怕。他看上去可不安全，而且又穷又饿。
他说，“我来帮助你，夫人。我的名字叫布莱恩·安德森。”其实只是爆胎而已，但是对这样一位老妇人来说已经算是很糟糕了。布莱恩帮老妇人更换了轮胎，老妇人感激不已。紧接着，老妇人问布莱恩应该付多少钱给他。老妇人已经想象到了所有可能发生的不好的事情。布莱恩告诉老妇人，如果她真的想要报答他，那么下一次当她遇到需要帮助的人的时候，她可以伸出援手。
沿着公路开了几英里，老妇人看到一间小咖啡馆。她走进去。服务员脸上带着甜蜜的笑容，那笑容即便在站了一整天之后还是无法抹去。老妇人注意到眼前的这个服务员已经有了大约8个月的身孕，但她却不让自己的痛苦为人所知。老妇人想知道是什么让一个几乎一无所有的人却仍然给予一个陌生人这么多。这时，她想到了布莱恩。用餐之后，老妇人付了一张100美元的钞票。服务员马上回去找零钱，但当她回来的时候，发现餐巾纸上有这样的几行字：“你不匙我什么。曾经有个人帮助过我，就像我现在帮助你一样。如果你真的想要回报我，就这样做：不要让爱的传递在你这里停止。”在餐巾纸的底下还放着4张100美元的`钞票。晚上服务员回到家，想起了老妇人写下的话。老妇人怎么知道她和她的丈夫是多么地需要钱来迎接下个月即将出生的婴儿呢?她躺在她的丈夫身边，轻柔地低语。“一切都会好的。我爱你，布莱恩·安德森”。
推理题。题二F意为“为什么当布莱恩试图帮助老妇人的时候，她感到担忧?”从文中第二段对老妇人心理活动的描写“He didn’t look safe.He looked poorand hungry.”
可以推断老妇人害怕布莱恩伤害他。故D为正确答案。
(2) :C推理题。题干意为“为什么老妇人想要付钱给布莱恩?”从文中第三段对老妇人心理活动的描写“Shehad already imagined all the temble things that could have happened.”可以推断老妇人想要破财免灾。故c为正确答案。
(3) :D推理题。题干意为“第五段中划线的单词erase是什么意思?”从第五段第三句话“She noticedthe waitress was nearly eight months pregnant，but she never let her aches be noticed.”可以推知服务员尽管已经怀了8个月的身孕，但是不想让别人感到她身体的不适，因此竭力让自己的笑容不被抹去，故D为正确答案。
(4) :A细节题。题干意为“老妇人建议服务员如果想要报答她的话，要怎么做?”从文中第六段最后一句话“If youreally want to pay me back，here is whatyou d0：Do not let this chain oflove end with you.”可知，老妇人让服务员将爱心传递下去，也就是继续帮助其他人。故A为正确答案。
(5) :B主旨题。题干意为“以下哪项最适合做本文的标题?”通过本文叙述的两个故事可以看出文章的主题是爱的传递，布莱恩付出的爱心经由老妇人又传递回了他本人和他的妻子。故B为正确答案。
