Cultural dining etiquette (礼节) might surprise you with some of its important rules. Don’t get caught making an awkward mistake at a restaurant.
Knowing some tips will help ensure that you have an enjoyable meal with friends or family — no matter where you are in the world.
Chopstick Rules
The way you handle chopsticks is important to avoid annoying your companions. When you put them down between bites, always put them down together so they are parallel (平行的) with the edge of the table in front of you. Never stick them upright in your food or cross them as you use them.
Hands or Utensils (餐具)
In India and the Middle East, it’s considered very rude to eat with your left hand. People in France expect you to eat with a utensil in each hand. Mexicans consider it not right to eat with utensils, instead preferring to use their hands. In Chile, you may never touch any food with your fingers. People in Thailand generally use their forks only to push food onto their spoons.
Making Requests
It may seem like a simple request to ask for salt and pepper at a meal. In Portugal, this would be a serious mistake, because it shows the chefs that you don’t like their seasoning skills. And in Italy, never ask for extra cheese to add to your food.
Some of these cultural dining etiquette rules may seem random and strange, but they are important in various countries. The more time you spend in any given country, the more comfortable you’ll begin to feel with its foreign cultural practices.
1. Which behavior is acceptable when dining with a Mexican
A. Eating with your hands. B. Eating with a utensil.
C. Not touching the food with fingers. D. Using forks to push food.
2. What does the underlined word “random” mean in the last paragraph
A. Interesting. B. Surprising. C. Challenging. D. Boring.
3. Whom does the author probably write to
A. A student to travel abroad.
B. A researcher to do a report.
C. A host to throw a family party.
D. A guest to leave a good impression.
【答案】1. A 2. B 3. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了文化餐饮礼仪的一些重要规则。
【1题详解】

【2题详解】
词句猜测题。由划线词上文“Some of these cultural dining etiquette rules may seem (其中一些文化礼仪规则可能看起来)”和“and strange (和奇怪)”可知，该词意思和“奇怪”并列，且修饰“文化礼仪”。A. Interesting有趣的；B. Surprising令人惊奇的；C. Challenging富有挑战性的；D. Boring无聊的。结合选项可知，选项B意思接近，符合题意。故选B。
【3题详解】
推理判断题。由文章前两段“Cultural dining etiquette (礼节) might surprise you with some of its important rules.

Wandering in a thick forest amid fresh air, colorful flowers and the sweet melodies of wild birds, tourists might feel they are in a fairy tale world. In fact, they are picking wild mushrooms in Yunnan Province. Known for its breathing-taking landscapes and diverse ecosystems, Yunnan provides a lot of mushroom picking destinations.
Xu Yaowei is in charge of a mushroom picking project on the app “Youyunnan”. He explained to China Daily that it was launched in early July. There are two types of tour routes. The first mainly aims at tourists from outside the province. Their main demand is for a mushroom hunting experience, focusing on easily finding mushrooms. The second route is for local and high-end customers, and includes a mushroom hunting experience, picking wild tea, enjoying a mushroom feast on a farm, and visiting a local wild mushroom market.
The project is already a success. By the end of August, it conducted nearly 40 one-day wild mushroom collection tours, serving nearly 800 tourists. More than 95 percent of them are from outside the province. Most of them are college graduates and parents with children, ranging from 25 to 35 years old.
One tourist surnamed Li said, “The most unforgettable was undoubtedly our encounter (遇到) with the professional and passionate tour guides.” “Their attractive stories and interactive sessions deepened our understanding and appreciation of the wild mushrooms we encountered,” Li added.

A woman in Zhejiang Province has been told by the doctor that she might develop “dead butt syndrome” (死臀综合征) due to long periods of sitting, according to a report by Guangming Net on Wednesday. The 26-year-old woman, who prefers to be called Dai, had been experiencing discomfort in her lower back for the past two months. The discomfort later became unbearable pain during extended periods of sitting.
News of the incident quickly gained attention on Sina Weibo. Some users humorously commented that while some people may be alive, their butts have already “died”. Others expressed concern about their own inactive lifestyles and the possibility of developing the syndrome.
“Dead butt syndrome” mainly happens when the gluteus medius (臀中肌), one of the three main muscles in the buttocks, weakens due to long periods of sitting. This weakening can damage the muscles’ability to work properly, leading to poor shock absorption and reduced motion control of the hip and leg. The syndrome is becoming a more common disease without people’s noticing.
Medical professionals have offered precautionary (预防的) measures for the syndrome, stressing the importance of staying physically active. For individuals who sit for long periods, it is recommended to stand up and stretch the body periodically, walk around, and keep the gluteal muscles active throughout the day.
A simple rule to follow is to stand up and move for at least 10 minutes every hour of sitting to reactivate the gluteal muscles and prevent them from becoming “inactive”.
There are three simple self-diagnosis (自我诊断) steps for the syndrome: flat and floppy butts, discomfort in the waist, hips, and knees after long time of sitting, and an inability to keep the upper body upright while performing a deep squat (蹲) with both hands extended overhead. If someone shows all these symptoms, there is a possibility that they have developed the syndrome. Furthermore, if individuals experience worsening lower back pain after long periods of sitting, seeking professional medical help is advisable.
8. Why is the woman’s case mentioned in paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To make the text interesting.
C. To attract the readers’attention.
D. To explain what dead butt syndrome is.
9. How can we prevent ourselves from developing “dead butt syndrome”
A. By avoiding sitting when at work.
B. By making our gluteal muscles active.
C. By giving our gluteal muscles a good rest.
D. By standing up and move every 10 minutes.
10. What’s the main cause of this syndrome
A. The poor shock absorption.
B. The damaged ability to walk.
C. The weakened gluteus medius.
D. The reduced motion control of the leg.
11. What’s the best title of the text
A. Dead Butt Syndrome—a Hidden Health Killer
B. Dead Butt Syndrome—a Common Disease
C. Saying Goodbye to Dead Butt Syndrome
D. Sitting for Dead Butt Syndrome
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. A

It is not always easy to understand animal behavior, especially when it’s related to other species (物种). For decades, researchers have observed orca (虎鲸) attacking and even killing porpoises (鼠海豚) in the Pacific Northwest. But it confuses people that these expert hunters don’t eat them. So what’s going on here
Southern Resident orcas are a different population of orcas that live in the Pacific Northwest. The lives of these orcas are closely tied to those of the salmon (鲑鱼). So if the salmon disappear, so too will the orca. But despite their preference for salmon, these whales are known to attack and kill other smaller marine mammals (海洋哺乳动物) without eating them.
To better understand this unusual behavior, an international team of researchers did a research and examined more than 60 years of recorded interactions between Southern Resident orcas and porpoises in the Salish Sea.
“Why don’t the Southern Residents just eat porpoises instead ” Deborah Giles of Wild Orca said. “It’s because fish-eating killer whales have a completely different ecology and culture from orcas that eat marine mammals. So we must conclude that their interactions with porpoises serve a different purpose, but this purpose has only been a guess until now.”
According to Giles and her colleagues’work, the orca may be attacking the porpoise as a form of social play. It is possible these large animals may be attacking the smaller mammals as a way to build up social cohesion (凝聚力). Similarly, the behavior could represent hunting practice, by which the orcas are practising their teamwork and cooperation skills for hunting salmon. Finally, the behavior could be a way of “mismothering” where the orca see the smaller porpoises as weaker or ill and so in need of care.
This work highlights the need for the protection of salmon populations in the area as well as the orcas’entire hunting range. The threat (威胁) to the salmon’s future is not just a threat to a single species, but an entire ecosystem.
12. Why did an international team of researchers do their study
A. To find out a way to protect porpoises.
B. To make sure the reason why some orcas attack salmons.
C. To solve the problem of marine mammals’ living environment.
D. To better understand the strange behavior of Southern Resident orcas.
13. What are Southern Resident orcas’favorite food
A. Porpoises. B. Marine mammals. C. Salmons. D. Whales.
14. According to Giles’research, which maybe a reason for the orcas’attacking porpoises
A. It’s a kind of social play with porpoises.
B. It is a practice to kill porpoises as their food.
C. The orcas may dislike the smaller porpoises.
D. It’s a way for the orcas to practice their hunting skills.
15. What’s the writer’s attitude to the research
A. Positive. B. Objective C. Doubtful. D. Uncertain.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了逆戟鲸攻击甚至杀死太平洋西北部的鼠海豚的现象和原因。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第一段中“For decades, researchers have observed orca (虎鲸) attacking and even killing porpoises (鼠海豚) in the Pacific Northwest. But it confuses people that these expert hunters don’t eat them. So what’s going on here (几十年来，研究人员观察到逆戟鲸攻击甚至杀死太平洋西北部的鼠海豚。但让人们困惑的是，这些专业的猎人不吃它们。这是怎么回事？)”以及第三段“To better understand this unusual behavior, an international team of researchers did a research and examined more than 60 years of recorded interactions between Southern Resident orcas and porpoises in the Salish Sea. (为了更好地理解这种不寻常的行为，一个国际研究小组做了一项研究，并检查了60多年来萨利希海南部虎鲸和鼠海豚之间的互动记录。)”可知，这个国际研究小组要进行研究，是为了更好地了解逆戟鲸的奇怪行为。故选D。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段中“But despite their preference for salmon (尽管它们喜欢吃鲑鱼)”可知，逆戟鲸喜欢吃鲑鱼。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第五段中“Similarly, the behavior could represent hunting practice, by which the orcas are practising their teamwork and cooperation skills for hunting salmon. (同样，这种行为可以代表狩猎练习，通过这种练习，逆戟鲸正在练习他们的团队合作技能，以捕猎鲑鱼。)”可知，根据吉尔的研究，虎鲸攻击海豚的原因可能是因为这是虎鲸练习狩猎技能的一种方式。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“This work highlights the need for the protection of salmon populations in the area as well as the orcas’entire hunting range. The threat (威胁) to the salmon’s future is not just a threat to a single species, but an entire ecosystem. (这项工作强调了保护该地区鲑鱼种群以及逆戟鲸整个捕猎范围的必要性。对鲑鱼未来的威胁不仅仅是对单个物种的威胁，而是整个生态系统的威胁。)”可知，作者认为这项研究很重要。故选A。

(这些米要么根本不洗，要么洗三次，要么洗十次)”能承接上文，符合题意。E项中的“These rice”与空前的“The three types”相对应。故选E。
【19题详解】
由上文“Contrary to what chefs will tell you, this study showed the washing process had no effect on the stickiness (or hardness) of the rice. (与厨师们会告诉你的相反，这项研究表明，洗涤过程对大米的粘性（或硬度）没有影响)”可知，A选项“You may still want to wash your rice, though. (不过，你可能还是想洗你的米)”能承接上文，用though与前文构成转折，符合题意。故选A。
【20题详解】
由下文“The washing process has been shown to wash away up to 20% of the plastics from uncooked rice. From this point of view, washing rice is still necessary.

第二节（满分25分）
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As far as Justin knew, there was only one way out of his neighborhood: basketball. So he ran with the ball like the hounds (猎犬) were running after him. He could drop any of the older guys at the court and the younger guys didn’t stand a chance. Justin saw his way out and he ran for it.
One day when Justin was shooting around at the local court, some guys from another block ran up and asked to play. The big one in the middle said that he had heard that Justin was the best and he wanted to see if it was true. Justin refused him at once. But the big guy insisted, and Justin’s cousin was encouraging, “Come on, Justin, drop this guy.” So Justin figured that he’d just do what everyone wanted and play.
Justin was running all over the big guy and making his shots while he did it. But suddenly Justin was pushed hard by the big guy and went flying in just such a way that he unluckily tore up his right knee. The doctor said Justin might never play again. Justin almost broke down.
The first six weeks in hospital, Justin just lay in bed with his leg in a long cast (石膏). He watched three reruns (再播放) of The Simpsons every day and ate potato chips until the bag was empty, and then he’d dig the salt and grease out of the corner with his finger. It seemed as if he blew up like a balloon. Right when he reached the bottom of the pit of despair (绝望), Justin’s sister, Kiki, came home from the university.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
She came in the house like a whirl of sunshine.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After spending those weeks with his sister, Justin realized he didn’t want to feel bad for himself any more.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】She came in the house like a whirl of sunshine. She brought exciting tales of a far away land called college. Justin’s face lit up and was amazed when listening. Days later, to get his grades up, his sister persuaded him to study together. They talked and they worked. Amazingly, Justin felt better than he ever had before. Basketball used to be his thing, and he was good at it, but now there was only school, so he had to get good at that.
After spending those weeks with his sister, Justin realized he didn’t want to feel bad for himself any more. Months later, he returned to school. Despite the study skills learned from his sister, Justin still felt learning was a big challenge for him. But he had never been taught to give up halfway when playing basketball. With constant efforts, he earned a C on his first test, which was not satisfying but enough for him. With time going on, he finally managed to pass through all his courses. It was then that he realized “The moment God closes the door, he leaves a window open for you”.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达是读后续写。本文以人物为线索展开。Justin觉得离开居住地的唯一方式就是篮球。他打篮球的水平很高。但是有一天，打球的时候受了严重的伤，导致他不再能打篮球了，因此他很沮丧。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“她像一阵阳光一样走进了房子。”可知，第一段可以描写Justin的姐姐带给他另一条出路，Justin听到姐姐的话时的心理活动，以及他的做法。
②由第二段句首内容“在和姐姐相处了几周后，贾斯汀意识到他不想再为自己感到难过了。”可知，第二段可以描写Justin被姐姐影响后的改变，他努力学习的成果和心理活动。最后升华文章的主旨：不要放弃。
2.续写线索：受伤沮丧—姐姐进来—学习—改变—不放弃—成果—感悟
3.词汇激活

Cultural dining etiquette (礼节) might surprise you with some of its important rules Don’t get caught making an awkward mistake at a restaurant.
Knowing some tips will help ensure that you have an enjoyable meal with friends or family — no matter where you are in the world.
Chopstick Rules
The way you handle chopsticks is important to avoid annoying your companions. When you put them down between bites, always put them down together so they are parallel (平行的) with the edge of the table in front of you. Never stick them upright in your food or cross them as you use them.
Hands or Utensils (餐具)
In India and the Middle East, it’s considered very rude to eat with your left hand. People in France expect you to eat with a utensil in each hand. Mexicans consider it not right to eat with utensils, instead preferring to use their hands. In Chile, you may never touch any food with your fingers. People in Thailand generally use their forks only to push food onto their spoons.
Making Requests
It may seem like a simple request to ask for salt and pepper at a meal. In Portugal, this would be a serious mistake, because it shows the chefs that you don’t like their seasoning skills. And in Italy, never ask for extra cheese to add to your food.

Wandering in a thick forest amid fresh air, colorful flowers and the sweet melodies of wild birds, tourists might feel they are in a fairy tale world. In fact, they are picking wild mushrooms in Yunnan Province. Known for its breathing-taking landscapes and diverse ecosystems, Yunnan provides a lot of mushroom picking destinations.

More than 95 percent of them are from outside the province. Most of them are college graduates and parents with children, ranging from 25 to 35 years old.
One tourist surnamed Li said “The most unforgettable was undoubtedly our encounter (遇到) with the professional and passionate tour guides.” “Their attractive stories and interactive sessions deepened our understanding and appreciation of the wild mushrooms we encountered,” Li added.

A woman in Zhejiang Province has been told by the doctor that she might develop “dead butt syndrome” (死臀综合征) due to long periods of sitting, according to a report by Guangming Net on Wednesday. The 26-year-old woman, who prefers to be called Dai, had been experiencing discomfort in her lower back for the past two months. The discomfort later became unbearable pain during extended periods of sitting.
News of the incident quickly gained attention on Sina Weibo. Some users humorously commented that while some people may be alive, their butts have already “died”. Others expressed concern about their own inactive lifestyles and the possibility of developing the syndrome.
“Dead butt syndrome” mainly happens when the gluteus medius (臀中肌), one of the three main muscles in the buttocks, weakens due to long periods of sitting. This weakening can damage the muscles’ability to work properly, leading to poor shock absorption and reduced motion control of the hip and leg. The syndrome is becoming a more common disease without people’s noticing.
Medical professionals have offered precautionary (预防的) measures for the syndrome, stressing the importance of staying physically active. For individuals who sit for long periods, it is recommended to stand up and stretch the body periodically, walk around, and keep the gluteal muscles active throughout the day.
A simple rule to follow is to stand up and move for at least 10 minutes every hour of sitting to reactivate the gluteal muscles and prevent them from becoming “inactive”.
There are three simple self-diagnosis (自我诊断) steps for the syndrome: flat and floppy butts, discomfort in the waist, hips, and knees after long time of sitting, and an inability to keep the upper body upright while performing a deep squat (蹲) with both hands extended overhead. If someone shows all these symptoms, there is a possibility that they have developed the syndrome. Furthermore, if individuals experience worsening lower back pain after long periods of sitting, seeking professional medical help is advisable.
8. Why is the woman’s case mentioned in paragraph 1
A. To introduce the topic.
B. To make the text interesting.
C. To attract the readers’attention.
D. To explain what dead butt syndrome is.
9. How can we prevent ourselves from developing “dead butt syndrome”
A. By avoiding sitting when at work.
B. By making our gluteal muscles active.
C By giving our gluteal muscles a good rest.
D. By standing up and move every 10 minutes.
10. What’s the main cause of this syndrome
A. The poor shock absorption.
B. The damaged ability to walk.
C. The weakened gluteus medius.
D. The reduced motion control of the leg.
11. What’s the best title of the text
A. Dead Butt Syndrome—a Hidden Health Killer
B. Dead Butt Syndrome—a Common Disease
C. Saying Goodbye to Dead Butt Syndrome
D. Sitting for Dead Butt Syndrome

It is not always easy to understand animal behavior, especially when it’s related to other species (物种). For decades, researchers have observed orca (虎鲸) attacking and even killing porpoises (鼠海豚) in the Pacific Northwest. But it confuses people that these expert hunters don’t eat them. So what’s going on here
Southern Resident orcas are a different population of orcas that live in the Pacific Northwest. The lives of these orcas are closely tied to those of the salmon (鲑鱼). So if the salmon disappear, so too will the orca. But despite their preference for salmon, these whales are known to attack and kill other smaller marine mammals (海洋哺乳动物) without eating them.
To better understand this unusual behavior, an international team of researchers did a research and examined more than 60 years of recorded interactions between Southern Resident orcas and porpoises in the Salish Sea.
“Why don’t the Southern Residents just eat porpoises instead ” Deborah Giles of Wild Orca said. “It’s because fish-eating killer whales have a completely different ecology and culture from orcas that eat marine mammals. So we must conclude that their interactions with porpoises serve a different purpose, but this purpose has only been a guess until now.”
According to Giles and her colleagues’work, the orca may be attacking the porpoise as a form of social play. It is possible these large animals may be attacking the smaller mammals as a way to build up social cohesion (凝聚力). Similarly, the behavior could represent hunting practice, by which the orcas are practising their teamwork and cooperation skills for hunting salmon. Finally, the behavior could be a way of “mismothering” where the orca see the smaller porpoises as weaker or ill and so in need of care.
This work highlights the need for the protection of salmon populations in the area as well as the orcas’entire hunting range. The threat (威胁) to the salmon’s future is not just a threat to a single species, but an entire ecosystem.
12. Why did an international team of researchers do their study
A. To find out a way to protect porpoises.
B. To make sure the reason why some orcas attack salmons.
C. To solve the problem of marine mammals’ living environment.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
As far as Justin knew, there was only one way out of his neighborhood: basketball. So he ran with the ball like the hounds (猎犬) were running after him. He could drop any of the older guys at the court and the younger guys didn’t stand a chance. Justin saw his way out and he ran for it.
One day when Justin was shooting around at the local court, some guys from another block ran up and asked to play. The big one in the middle said that he had heard that Justin was the best and he wanted to see if it was true. Justin refused him at once. But the big guy insisted, and Justin’s cousin was encouraging, “Come on, Justin, drop this guy.” So Justin figured that he’d just do what everyone wanted and play.
Justin was running all over the big guy and making his shots while he did it. But suddenly Justin was pushed hard by the big guy and went flying in just such a way that he unluckily tore up his right knee. The doctor said Justin might never play again. Justin almost broke down.
The first six weeks in hospital, Justin just lay in bed with his leg in a long cast (石膏). He watched three reruns (再播放) of The Simpsons every day and ate potato chips until the bag was empty, and then he’d dig the salt and grease out of the corner with his finger. It seemed as if he blew up like a balloon. Right when he reached the bottom of the pit of despair (绝望), Justin’s sister, Kiki, came home from the university.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150左右；

She came in the house like a whirl of sunshine.
