26、Most handshakes are a simple greeting. However, they are more common in some places than in others. This is especially true in English-speaking countries. In these countries, handshakes are common in every situation — when meeting a new person, or even when greeting someone that you have not seen for a long time. People also use handshakes to congratulate, or to say goodbye.

In Asian countries, handshakes are used in business. But in other situations, there are other greetings. For example, in Thailand, people greet each other using the waist(腰). A person holds his hands so that the palms, the inside of the hands, press together. Then, the person gives a small bow, bending(弯曲) at the waist. Similar gestures(手势) are used in India, Cambodia and other countries.

In Latin America, people shake hands. But they also may greet with a kiss. For example, a woman greeting another woman will kiss lightly on each cheek(面颊), and then shake hands. In some places, men may also greet in this way, but it is not as common. Cheek kissing is common in many other parts of the world too, but it is slightly(稍微地) different in each place. For example, in Greece, two people may kiss twice, one kiss on each cheek. But in parts of France, people will kiss four times!

So, if you are shaking hands, do you know what the best way to communicate is? Do you use a hard or soft handshake? Do you hold with both hands, or just one? Do you kiss?

【1】How do people greet each other in Thailand?

A．By using the waist.

B．By shaking hands.

C．By speaking loudly.

D．By shaking their heads.

【2】What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A．Hugging.

B．Kissing.

C．Greeting.

D．Speaking.

【3】What’s the best title for the passage?

A．Different handshakes

B．How to greet each other

C．The same gestures

D．When to shake hands

27、

A popular animated movie which includes 48 poems has become a favorite for many children. The movie, Chang’an, which hit cinemas on July 8, has scored 8.2 out of 10 point s with nearly 150,000 reviews (评论) on popular review platform Douban Movie.

The movie Chang’an takes its title from the ancient name of Xi’an in Shaanxi Province. Using Gao Shi, a famous poet during the Tang Dynasty as a main character, the movie tells stories about a group of excellent poets in his time such as Li Bai, Du Fu and Wang Wei. Unlike other movies put on Chinese screens before, the 168-minute movie is the longest Chinese animated movie.

During the showing of the movie, many children who go along with their parents excitedly recite (背诵) the poems whenever they appear, which has caused a great discussion among audiences (观众) whose reviews can be seen on different platforms.

Some consider it irritating. “More than half of the audiences were primary school students, and the girl behind me was reciting really loudly whenever it was something she knows.” one review said, adding that parents should teach their children to act properly in public places, especially when they are trying to let their children learn something.

“There are even parents who record their children reciting in the cinema, as if they haven’t seen the no-recording rule.” another review said. Many reviews advised cinemas organize family—only showings and keep them away from those who want silence during the showing.

Yu Xin, a movie reviewer, said on his Sina Weibo moviegoers should be more understanding. “It’s a wonderful sound. It’s the unique romance that only belongs to Chinese cinemas.” he said, adding when the musical movie Les Miserable hit Chinese screens a few years ago, audiences who sang along were highly thought of.

【1】How does the writer develop his idea in Paragraph 1?

A．By giving examples.

B．By comparing differences.

C．By explaining the reason.

D．By listing numbers and facts.

【2】Who is the main character of Chang’an?

A．Gao Shi

B．Li Bai

C．Du Fu

D．Wang Wei

【3】What does the underlined word “irritating” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A．Make someone happy.

B．Make someone angry.

C．Make someone amazed.

D．Make someone excited.

【4】According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A．The movie Chang’an is the longest Chinese movie.

B．Chang’an has gotten about 15,000 reviews on Douba n Movie.

C．Yu Xin doesn’t mind children reciting when watching Chang’an.

D．Chang’an tells stories about great poets from different dynasties.

28、根据下面短文内容及部分首字母提示，在短文的空格处填上一个最恰当的词，使短文完整、通顺。请将完整的单词填写在答题卡上对应的位置。

We all know that not all communication is through languages, but did you know that the 【1】 body language can mean something completely different because of culture? From what you do with your eyes or hands between speakers, there are large differences in how people from different countries use their 【2】 to communicate. Let’s take a look at some examples.

Eye contact (接触)

Prolonged (持久的) eye contact is a sign of confidence in most Western countries. 【3】, in many African, Asian and Latin American countries, unbroken eye contact can be seen as impolite. But in the Middle East, eye contact lasts longer only b【4】 people of the same sex (性别).

Physical contact

“Rules” on physical contact usually differ depending on age, sex, profession and so on. But in general, people from high contact cultures such as Southern Europe, Latin America and the Middle East like to stand 【5】 when speaking and like to touch often. Those from low contact cultures, such as the Far East, stand farther apart and usually a【6】 physical contact.

Hand gestures (手势)

Hand gestures are also different from country to country. Using the “OK” sign is not OK in Brazil, Greece, Spain or Turkey. And if you want to tell 【7】 he did a good job in Greece or the Middle East, you can’t do as we do in China. And in most of Asia, curling (弯曲) your index finger (食指) to ask someone to come is fine for dogs, but not for people—especially in the Philippines, where you could be p【8】 under the law.

29、   Numbers in different countries may have different meanings. In China, some people think that some numbers bring them________. Take “8” for example, the Chinese pronunciation of the number “8” has almost the________sound as that of the Chinese character “发[fɑː]”, which means making a fortune. So, many Chinese people spend a lot of________to get their telephone numbers or car numbers to include this number "8". They believe without________doubt that the number will bring them money.

________, others don't believe that numbers have anything to do with good luck. They think such an idea is only an ignorant（愚昧的）and superstitious（迷信的）belief. A number is one thing, and good luck is________. They will ask, “________can you ever have any good luck simply because of some lucky numbers, even if you don't work hard, don't have good opportunities and don't get along well with the people around you?”

As for me, I________with the latter（后者）. Clearly, lucky numbers are only a kind of superstition. Perhaps it holds true for some cases, but often it does not. Numbers can________bring good luck to a person at all and our fortune is in our own hands. So, everyone can have a good fortune only if he tries his best. Let's always remember "Opportunities are only for the________mind" and "No pains, no gains."
