Part 3  Reading and Writing  (第三部分 读写)

VI. Reading comprehension（阅读理解）（共26分）

A. Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择恰当的答案）（共6分）

International travel is popular, but visitors can run into trouble if they don’t know some basic “rules”. So, it’s important to learn about the cultures they’re visiting.

BRAZIL

In general. Brazilian culture is informal (随意的). Most Brazilians are very friendly, so it’s important to greet the people you meet. Women usually kiss on the cheek, but men usually just shake hands. Brazilians usually stand very close to each other while speaking. Even if this is unusual in your culture, try not to move away if it happens. If you go to a business meeting, you are not expected to take a gift.

On the other hand, if you are invited to someone’s house, you should take a gift—like flowers or chocolate. However, don’t take anything purple or black, as these colors have to do with death. If you are invited to dinner, arrive at least 30 minutes late, but always dress well, because a person’s appearance can be very important to Brazilians.

SAUDI ARABIA

Saudi Arabia is a very traditional country. It is important to greet the oldest or the most senior person first. People shake hands in business situations, but men and women do not touch in public. In a business meeting, do not start with business matters at once. Instead, start the conversation by asking about people’s family or health. Arrive on time for business meetings, but don’t be surprised if others are late. Being on time is less important in Saudi Arabia than it is in most western countries. Business dress is formal. Gifts are not expected at business meetings. If you are invited to a Saudi home, acceptable gifts are chocolate or coffee. Be careful not to admire the things the host owns, because he or she’ll feel necessary to give an item to you as a gift.

37. According to the writer, international travel is _______.

A. unforgettable B. popular C. interesting D. excellent

38 The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 2 refers to _________.

A. kissing on the cheek when greeting

C. preparing gifts at business meetings

D. standing very close when talking

①greetings  ②local snacks  ③arriving time  ④giving gifts  ⑤dresses

Read the passage and answer the following questions.（阅读短文，回答问题）

School tests can be stressful. But they might also encourage you to help change the world. Three girls, Kristen, Jenna and Marisa from New York, learned about a growing problem from a reading test they took. The problem is e-waste, short for electronic waste (电子垃圾). The girls learned that some dangerous chemicals in e-waste can damage the environment and people.

Afterwards, they had to come up with an idea for a science project. They remembered the interesting topic from their test. So the girls started a recycling drive to help other students and the community learn about properly (合理地) recycling e-waste. They called themselves the E-Waste Girls. They put recycling boxes in the school hall and asked the students to collect old cell phones, radios and other items. When the boxes were full, they sent them to a special recycling center. The recyclers took out the dangerous chemicals and disposed of (处理) them properly, so that they don’t go into the air or the ground or the water.

One big way people can help reduce e-waste is to buy smartly. So the girls strongly advised people to consider electronics made with fewer dangerous chemicals and choose electronics that will last several years. The girls’ project also helped them become finalists (决赛选手) in the We Can Change the World Challenge, a national student competition. The E-Waste Girls see a bright future in which projects like theirs will not be needed any more.
