解析
试题分析：
小题1:C。从后面的he always presses ___37___ food onto my plate…等来看，此处说的是吃饭时的礼节问题，故用dinner。
小题2:C。当我在中国做客时，主人总是在我吃完碗里的饭时又强夹给我更多的食物。
小题3:C。主人的这种做法让我觉得很尴尬。在这里应用系动词feel。taste(品尝)虽可作系动词，但不符合语境。
小题4:B。根据西方人的观点，吃饭时应把盘子里的饭都吃完，否则就是不礼貌。因此，当在中国吃饭时，尽管不喜欢主人硬给盛饭的这种做法，但只好把主人硬给盛的这些饭都吃了。
小题5:D。从语境来看，此处指“在西方把饭剩留在盘子里被认为是不礼貌的”。good manners 意为“有礼貌的”，bad manners 意为“没有礼貌的”。
小题6:B。西方人认为，把盘子里的饭吃干净是礼貌的，而把饭留在盘子里则是不礼貌的。leave 在此意为“留下，剩余”。
小题7:B。动词辨析。A介意B注意C听说D通知；“我”在一个美国人举行的宴会上所看到的一个中国人的做法。
小题8:B。从上下文可知，此处说的是“我”在一个美国人举行的宴会上所看到的一个中国人的做法，即他经常拒绝别人让他吃的食物或饮料，尽管他很饿或很渴。
小题9:C。前面说的是 food or drink，这里的 hungry 应与 thirsty 相对。
小题10:C。前面提到的“在饭桌上拒绝别人”的做法，在中国是有礼貌的，但这在西方确实是不礼貌的，前后形成对比。此句补充完整为：…but it is certainly not good manners in the West.
小题11:A。由上下文可知，在美国不停地一遍遍地问人家或把东西强加给他人是不礼貌的。
小题12:A。从下文的“如果他们想要东西，他们就要；如果不想要，就说‘不，谢谢’”等可知，这里说的是美国人很“直接”。direct 意为“直接的”，indirect 意为“间接的”。
小题13:C。从下文举的例子来看，当他们不想要某样东西时，美国人常直接说 No, thanks。
小题14:B。从下句 and he doesn’t feel like beer, he will probably say… 来看，这里说的是“主人给美国人啤酒喝时……”。
小题15:C。前面说“不，谢谢。我不喜欢它。如果有 Pepsi-Cola 的话，就给我来点它吧”。take 在这里是“喝”的意思。
小题16:B。前面举例说明美国人的一些做法，即“这就是美国人的做法”。 what 在此引导表语从句。
小题17:C。本文谈论的就是中国人与美国人在餐桌上的礼仪问题，故此处应选 Americans。
小题18:B。根据上面的 Honesty is the best policy 可知，此处说的是“但是在一些国家谦虚也许是比诚实更重要的”。
小题19:D。本文谈论的是习惯问题，故用 customs。habits 说的是个人习惯，不符合语境。
小题20:B。由 but 可知此处说的是如果你到美国，就最好“入乡随俗”，亦即按美国的风俗做。
点评：本文说的是中国与美国的风俗习惯问题。首先说的是“我”在中国的经历，对中国主人“劝饭”的做法不理解，有时觉得很尴尬；接着又通过在宴会上的例子说明在中国和美国哪些做法是礼貌的，并说要“入乡随俗”。

“These findings go against the popular theory that the facial expressions of basic emotions can be universally recognized，” said University of Alberta researcher Dr.Takahiko Masuda.” A person’s culture plays a very strong role in determining how he will read emotions and needs to be considered when interpreting the facial expressions.”
These cultural differences are even noticeable in computer emoticons(情感符号)，which are used to convey a writer’s emotions by email and text message. The Japanese emotions for happiness and sadness vary in terms of how the eyes are drawn ，while the American emotions vary with the direction of the mouth. In the United States the emoticons∶)and∶) show a happy face，whereas the emoticons∶(and∶(show a sad face. However，the Japanese tend to use the symbol (‘‘) to indicate a happy face，and (；；) to indicate a sad face.
“We think it is quite interesting and appropriate that culture tends to mask its emotions. The Japanese would focus on a person’s eyes when detecting his or her emotions，as eyes tend to be quite subtle(微妙的)，”said Masuda. “In the United States，where an open emotion is quite common，it makes sense to focus on the mouth，which is the most expressive feature on a person’s face.”
小题1:The text mainly tells us that ________.
| A．cultural differences are expressed in emotions |
| B．culture is a key to interpreting facial emotions |
| C．different emoticons are preferred in different cultures |
| D．people from different cultures express emotions differently |
| A．(；；) | B．∶) |
| C．∶( | D．∶( |
| A．read the whole face | B．focus on the mouth |
| C．look into the eyes | D．judge by the voice |
| A．they express their feelings openly |

Phileas Fogg sets off immediately, with his servant Passepartout. They reach Suez(苏伊士) quickly. While landing in Egypt, he is watched by a British detective named Fix, who is in search of a bank robber. Because Fix mistakes Fogg for the criminal, he follows secretly, as they are getting on a ship to Bombay.
After more than 20-days of travelling, they arrive in San Francisco, and then get on the train to New York. During that trip, the train is attacked by Indians, who take Passepartout away. With some soldiers’ help, Fogg succeeds in freeing his companion. To make up for the lost time, Fogg and his companion hasten on to New York, and catch the steamer for the crossing of the Atlantics. They arrive in Ireland in time to reach London before the deadline. However, once on British soil again, Fix arrests Fogg. Although the misunderstanding is quickly cleared up—the actual bank robber had been caught several days earlier. Fogg has missed the train and returns to London five minutes late, sure that he has lost the wager.
However, the next day Fogg learns from the priest that he is mistaken in the date, which he thinks Sunday but which actually is Saturday, due to the fact that they gained a full day on their journey around the globe, by crossing the International Date Line. Fogg immediately sets off for the Reform Club, where he arrives just in time to win the wager.
小题1:The reason that Fix wants to arrest Phileas Fogg is that .
| A．Phileas Fogg is the bank robber whom Fix is trying to catch |
| B．Phileas Fogg doesn’t have a passport for his travels |
| C．Fix mistakenly takes Phileas Fogg for the bank robber |
| D．Fix intends to prevent Fogg from winning the wager |
| A．travelling across the continent of America |
| B．rescuing his companion from the Indians |
| C．waiting for the ship back to London |
| D．getting rid of the pursuing of Fix |
| A．No. Because he doesn’t get to the Reform Club before the deadline. |
| B．Yes. Because he is not the bank robber； it’s a misunderstanding. |
| C．No. Because he wastes too much time during his trip. |
| D．Yes. Because he arrives at the Reform Club before the deadline. |
The most important reason for such a visit is to realize how our ancestors (祖先) battled nature with the basic tools they had . They had only basic ways of creating light , and yet they found a way of using this simple technology in isolated (孤零零的) places to save ships from hitting rocks .
Secondly , visiting lighthouses will help us to understand the lives of lighthouse keepers .By their very nature , lighthouses were built on some rocks or cliffs . Thus , the lighthouse keepers often lived lonely lives . To walk around their small home , and imagine the angry storm outside beating against the walls , is to take a step towards understanding the lives they had.
The reasons for a visit to a lighthouse are not all so backward-looking in time . It is true that lighthouses were built in out-of-the –way places . But on a pleasant sunny summer day. This very isolation has a natural beauty that many people will love to experience . Therefore, with the gentle waves touching all round the lighthouse . the visitor is likely to think it is a world preferable to the busy and noisy modern life.
Another reason for considering a visit is that the lighthouses themselves can be very attractive buildings . Mankind could often not be content just to put up a basic structure . but felt the need . even in such an isolated place , to build with an artistic touch . The result is a view for tired eyes to enjoy .
Finally , lighthouses have a romantic attraction , summed up by the image of the oil-skin coated keeper climbing his winding stairs to take care of the light to warn ships and save lives .
小题1:What is the reason to look back into the past of a lighthouse ?
| A．To escape from the busy and noisy city . |

The Indians today live in much the same way as their ancestors . Most of them are farmers . Many work in the mines , for mining is the most important industry on Bolivia’s . Of all the mining products , tin is the most important , which makes up three-fourths of all Bolivia’s exports . The eastern slopes of the Andes , since there are very few roads there , are fertile but not highly developed . The two primary means of transportation are river boats and porters . East of the hill region are the great plains where tropical plants are grown . A serious problem for Bolivia is the transport of food from the warm regions , where it is grown to the mountainous regions , where most of the people live .
