Different countries have different customs. When you are in different countries, you should follow their customs.

In China, it’s impolite to talk when eating dinner. And you’re not supposed to start eating first if there are older people at the table.

Very often people who travel to the United States forget to tip（付小费）. It is usual to tip waiters, taxi drivers and porters who help carry your bags. Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers expect about the same amount.

In England, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It’s important to respect（尊重） lines there. It’s a good idea to talk about the weather. It’s the favourite subject of conversation with the British.

In Spain（西班牙）， it’s a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for dinner. People have dinner very late, and restaurants do not generally open until 9:00 p.m.

In Saudi Arabia（沙特阿拉伯）， men kiss one another on the cheek（脸颊）.Your host may welcome you with a kiss on both cheeks. It is polite for you to do the same.

In Japan, people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time. When a person gives you a card, don’t put it into your pocket（口袋） as soon as you get it. The person expects you to read it.

Don’t forget to be careful of your body language to express something in conversations. A kind of body language that is acceptable in one culture may be impolite in another.

Chinese fancy knots （中国结）, also called Chinese knots, are very important in Chinese culture. They began as a form of traditional art in the Tang and Song Dynasties（朝代） in China, and became popular in the Ming Dynasty. Long ago, they found their way to Japan and other Southeast Asian countries, and were well received there. Now they are regarded as one of the symbols of Chinese culture.

As for the name itself, it is surely meaningful. The Chinese word for “knot”, jie, means “connection”. And the pronunciation of the Chinese word jie is very close to that of ji, “good luck”. As a result, Chinese knots are used as a way to express people’s strong wishes for marvellous things like happiness, love and good luck.

The knots are used widely in everyday life. They come in different sizes. Small ones are connected to jewellery（珠宝）, clothes and gifts in order to draw people’s attention, while large ones are used to make a living room or study more beautiful. Whether large or small, they are named after their shapes and usages. For example, Double Coin Knots are called Shuangqian Jie because they are in the shape of two ancient Chinese coins, meaning “good things come in pairs”. Besides, Chinese knots are famous for their bright colours. Different colours have different traditional cultural meanings. Red means good luck and happiness, green means health, and yellow means wealth.

All in all, the famous Chinese fancy knots fully show the Chinese culture. These brightly coloured knots with their endless chains（链条） of knots mean that life on earth will continue forever.

26 What did the writer want to express in this passage?

A.Ask people to buy Chinese fancy knots.

B.Introduce a traditional Chinese art form.

C.Teach people how to make a Chinese knot.

D.Describe the usages of Chinese fancy knots.

Ⅵ 任务型阅读（共5小题，计10分）

［2021·原创］Hot pot（火锅） is one of traditional Chinese meals. This traditional meal has a history of more than 1,000 years. As the winter months come, so does the hot pot season.And what has made it a Chinese favourite food?

Well, it seems that the answer is not just found in the dish itself.

Hot pot isn’t just designed to keep you warm during the cold months; it’s also a social experience. There is a lot of fun for everyone to have in adding food to the hot pot. Hot pot is eaten over two to three hours. For this reason, it is often considered as an evening’s entertainment, and time to spend with friends and family. However, most Westerners can’t stand the idea of other people putting chopsticks in their food. When we come to eat at the table in the UK, we have our own individual portions（份额）, although the experience is still a social one.

But having given hot pot a go, lots of Westerners find it’s now one of their favourite meals in Beijing.The steam（水蒸气） from the pot leaves the smelling of food on their clothes when they get home, but perhaps it is also part of the experience. When the cold wind is blowing outside, just grab（抓）some chopsticks, join some good friends, and dig in. For them, it’s like throwing a dinner party where the taste buds（味蕾） and the hunger are satisfied in the warm company of friends. So we can enjoy the meal more than its taste.

46、47题完成句子;48题简略回答问题;49题找出并写下最后一段的主题句;50题将文中画线句子译成汉语。

46 Hot pot can keep people warm in winter, and it’s also______  .

The Lantern Festival is a traditional festival in China. It falls on the fifteenth day of the first month of the Chinese lunar calendar. As every Chinese person knows, family members usually get together on the day of the festival and eat tangyuan. In the evening, people go out to enjoy the bright and colourful lanterns, which is relaxing and pleasant. In some parts of China, people take part in activities, such as guessing riddles, walking on stilts and doing lion dancing.

I think the Lantern Festival is very interesting and I like it very much.
