A

At table, the British people pay special attention to table manners. For example, they shouldn’t talk at table or beat tableware (餐具). They have a strict requirement on how to use knives and forks, while Americans seldom do so. They like fast and convenient food. American’s favorite food are hamburgers, fried chicken and pizza. These diets keep the American obesity rate high. But from the diet habits, it is not difficult for us to find that the American do everything vigorously (活泼地) and resolutely and do not spend too much on the trifles (琐事).

There are also lots of different manners between Americans and Chinese, and some are totally even opposite. For Americans, when friends gather together, they do not like to talk about their salary (工资), age and marriage. They think they are their privacy (隐私) and they are more likely to keep their privacy. But in China, people like talking about them. In America, when people meet strangers, they prefer people to call their shortnames, because it would show how close they are. But in China, it is impolite to do that. In America, you will be hated if you say someone is old and do something special for them, because they think old people are useless in the world. For Chinese, old people are glad to hear that and you will be praised for doing things freely for old people. They like the sense of being respected.

There are different manners in different countries. And we should follow them when we travel to other countries.

26．According to the first paragraph, British people _____.

A．often talk with each other at table B．always beat tableware at table

C．have high obesity rate D．are strict on how to use knives and forks

27．What does the underlined word “resolutely” mean in Chinese?

A．犹豫地 B．果断地 C．粗心地 D．懒散地

28．Americans don’t like to talk about _____ when they gather together.

A．food B．marriage C．weather D．short names

29．You will be _____ if you say someone is old in America.

A．hated B．respected C．praised D．laughed

30．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．British people like fast and convenient food.

B．It is polite to call people’s short names in China.

C．People are encouraged to do things freely for old people in America.

D．Calling people’s short names shows how close they are in America.

B

Is it possible to look through the Internet, talk with your friends on apps, or even read a map on your coat in the near future? Yes, your coat!

It may sound silly, but it’s something scientists are working on. Researchers at Shanghai’s Fudan University have made a new type of cloth that can be used as a digital screen. Professor Peng Huisheng and his team have spent 10 years trying to make “digital cloth”. The first is to find out the right thread（线）. After testing many of them, they choose two special ones: One can light up, and the other can conduct（传导）electricity.

The results have been admirable. The cloth is not only wearable and foldable, but also washable. After being put through 100 wash-and-dry cycles in a washing machine and folded 10,000times, the cloth kept almost unchanged. It is just like putting a phone screen into the coat. Wear it and then it can show you a lot of information you want.

Peng believes that the new cloth could be used for many things. For example, it could allow a driver to view a GPS map on their arm while they drive around. It could also help people communicate better if they have language difficulties or disabilities.

In one test, Peng’s team collected brainwaves from volunteers who had either been playing a game or meditating. The waves were then turned into messages like “nervous” or “relaxed” and shown on the cloth. This could help deaf-mute（聋哑的）people “talk” to each other in the future.

“We hope that new materials will shape next-generation（下一代）electronic devices by changing the way we communicate with them,” said Peng.

31．The writer starts to talk about the coat with a _________.

A．story B．lesson C．game D．question

32．We can learn from the passage that ________.

A．they only use one kind of thread to make the coat

B．it is not easy to find out the right thread for the coat

C．the coat will change a lot when we wash it many times

D．there is a smartphone and a phone screen in the coat

33．Paragraphs 4 and 5 mainly talk about ________.

A．what the coat is like B．how the GPS works

C．where to buy the coat D．how it can help us

34．The underlined word “meditating” in Paragraph 5 means “________” in Chinese.

A．争吵 B．打架 C．冥想 D．讨论

35．What is the best title for this passage?

A．A Digital Coat as a Screen B．A Cool Experience as a Scientist

C．Study in Fudan University D．Travel with a Coat

C

As a student, I was most afraid to answer questions in class and I found that the students around were just like me. At the beginning of each class, when the teacher asked a question, I always lowered my head because I was afraid that the teacher saw me.

One day, in a foreign language class, Mr. Black gave us a lesson. He wanted us to be active in class, so he asked us some questions, but no one answered. “Let me tell you a story first, ” he said.

“When I came to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a cardboard folded (折叠的) in half, wrote their names in bold with the most eye­catching color, and then placed the cardboard on the seat. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he could see and call a listener’s name directly.”

“I couldn’t understand that. My classmates told me the speakers were all top people, who meant chances. When your answer was to his surprise, it meant he might give you more chances. In fact, I really saw a few students get great chances because of that.”

After listening to the story, I understood that the chance will not find you itself. You must show yourself all the time so that you can find a chance on the card.

36．What did Mr. Black want the students to do in his class?

A．Read loudly. B．Take notes carefully. 

C．Be active. D．Listen to him quietly.

37．How did the writer’s classmates behave when they were asked questions?

A．They raised their hands. B．They shook their heads.

C．They closed their eyes. D．They lowered their heads.

38．How did the speaker get to know the students’ names?

A．He got them from the computer. B．He saw the cardboards on the seats.

C．He asked the students for their names. D．He got them from the name list on the teacher’s desk.

39．What does the underlined word “eye­catching” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．引人注目的 B．眼睛疼痛的 C．目光呆滞的 D．泪眼朦胧的

40．What does the writer mainly tell us?

A．Doing as others do is necessary. B．Answering questions bravely is easy.

C．Attracting others’ attention is interesting. D．Showing yourself bravely can win chances

Weekend or Not?

Jack has to attend lots of classes at weekends. He has little time for his favorite sport—soccer. Still, his parents are pushing him to do more tasks, which worries him a lot.

Nowadays, many students are under much pressure like Jack. Their parents believe it necessary for them to make full use of the weekends and learn as much as possible. As a result, some students are stressed out and therefore lose interest in learning anything. What’s worse, they may not be able to learn to manage their own life.

I do hope all the children can have the freedom to choose what they like to do and enjoy their weekends.
