五、阅读理解
Gift-giving is different from culture to culture and person to person.
When people give gifts, sometimes color is important. For example, for many Chinese people around the world, red is a lucky color, and people often like to wrap gifts in red. However, do you know that in South Korea, red is a color of death That is why you should not wrap your gifts in this color if you are giving a gift to a person there.

You should not give red roses to a Western person you don't know very well because they are a symbol of love. You could give yellow roses instead, as these are a symbol of friendship. You could also send pink roses as gifts to say thank you.
What other things should you remember when giving gifts to someone from a different culture Well, one thing you should keep in mind is the person's religion (宗教).

Another thing that you should not get for a Muslim person is alcohol (酒).

At Morton High School, students' favourite clothing such as baggy(宽大的) trousers, low－necked shirts and tank tops(紧身短背心) are not allowed in classrooms.Some students think they have the right to choose what to wear，but the headmaster doesn't think so.“I'd be supportive if half of the students were sent home, because 99% will get the message that our school is for education.”“Freedom” does not mean “free of restrictions”．That is to say，there is no total freedom in the world，no matter in the US or in China.

As time went 65 , the tradition of wedding rings spread to other cultures. In ancient Rome, men 66 give their wives an iron ring. The iron ring had a new meaning: 67 now meant not only eternal love, but also a love that was strong.
In ancient times, couples wore their wedding rings on the fourth 68 of their left hand. People 69 that the vein (血管) of love ran from this finger directly to the heart.

七、读写综合
A．回答问题
请阅读下面关于伦敦的文章，根据所提供的信息，回答问题，把答案写在答题卡指定的位置上。
Everyday Life in London
As an exchange student (交换生) , I have been in London for about a year now. Before I arrived here, I had no idea what it would be like to study and live in London. Now, I have a clear answer.
Eating in London: It is easy to find good food in London. There are lots of restaurants and food markets. It is possible to try food from all over the world. The traditional British foods are fish and chips, cheese, tea and cake. They are not the same as the food in China, so it took me sometime to get used to them.
Weather in London: Does it always rain in London No, not really. Sometimes it rains; sometimes it is sunny and beautiful. London’s weather can change very quickly. So, Londoners carry both sunglasses and an umbrella all year round. And that is not the same as the weather in my hometown Zhuhai, so I was quite surprised first when seeing that.
Places of interest in London: London has many famous places, such as the London Eye, the Tower of London and the Science Museum. You can take a double-decker bus (双层巴士) . It will show you around the city. The buses stop near most tourist attractions. You can get off at any point. Outside the city, there is beautiful countryside with castles and gardens.

Dear Mike,
How are you these days I had a good time during our National Day holiday. My cousin came to Zhuhai and I showed her around.
For the first day, we went to Chimelong Ocean Kingdom, which is one of the best-known places in Zhuhai. It was enjoyable for us to watch the sea animals swimming around. Besides, taking part in all kinds of games was also fascinating. In this trip, we learned a lot of knowledge. For example, we knew how a dolphin is born and what they eat when they are babies. For the second day, we had a picnic in Xiangshan Lake Park. We talked and played games happily. Seeing so many people relaxing in the park, I felt really proud of our country.
The development of China brings benefits to Zhuhai as well. There are more and more places for people to relax themselves. And travelling around Zhuhai has become more and more convenient.
Zhuhai has changed a lot these years. I hope you can come to visit us one day. Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Han Meimei

四、阅读理解（本大题共15小题，每小题2分，共30分）
Gift-giving is different from culture to culture and person to person.
When people give gifts, sometimes color is important. For example, for many Chinese people around the world, red is a lucky color, and people often like to wrap gifts in red. However, do you know that in South Korea, red is a color of death That is why you should not wrap your gifts in this color if you are giving a gift to a person there.
What about Western countries In Western countries, the color of wrapping paper is not really important. But color does matter when giving flowers, especially roses. You should not give red roses to a Western person you don't know very well because they are a symbol of love. You could give yellow roses instead, as these are a symbol of friendship. You could also send pink roses as gifts to say thank you.
What other things should you remember when giving gifts to someone from a different culture Well, one thing you should keep in mind is the person's religion (宗教). When choosing a gift for a Muslim (穆斯林的) or Jewish (犹太教的) friend, you should never get food including pork, or things made from pigskin. Another thing that you should not get for a Muslim person is alcohol (酒).
46．In which country do people think red is the color of death
A．Japan. B．The US. C．South Korea. D．The UK.
47．How can we show our friendship to Western friends
A．By giving them yellow roses. B．By giving them red roses.

Different countries have different customs. When you travel to other countries, please follow their customs, just as the saying goes, “________.”
Very often people who travel to the United States forget to tip. It is usual to tip porters who help carry your bags, taxi drivers and waiters. Waiters expect to get a 15% tip on the cost of your meal. Taxi drivers expect about the same amount.
In England, make sure to stand in line even if there are only two of you. It’s important to respect lines there. It’s a good idea to talk about the weather. It’s a favourite subject of conversation with the British.
In Spain, it’s a good idea to have a light meal in the afternoon if someone invites you for dinner. People have dinner very late, and restaurants do not generally open until after 9 p.m.
In Arab countries, men kiss one another on the cheek. Your host may welcome you with a kiss on both cheeks. It is polite for you to do the same.
In Japan, people usually give personal or business cards to each other when they meet for the first time. When a person gives you a card, don’t put it into your pocket right away. The person expects you to read it.
Don’t forget to be careful of your body language to express something in conversation. A kind of body language that is acceptable in one culture may be impolite in another.

Everyday Life in London
As an exchange student (交换生) , I have been in London for about a year now. Before I arrived here, I had no idea what it would be like to study and live in London. Now, I have a clear answer.
Eating in London: It is easy to find good food in London. There are lots of restaurants and food markets. It is possible to try food from all over the world. The traditional British foods are fish and chips, cheese, tea and cake. They are not the same as the food in China, so it took me sometime to get used to them.
Weather in London: Does it always rain in London No, not really. Sometimes it rains; sometimes it is sunny and beautiful. London’s weather can change very quickly. So, Londoners carry both sunglasses and an umbrella all year round. And that is not the same as the weather in my hometown Zhuhai, so I was quite surprised first when seeing that.
Places of interest in London: London has many famous places, such as the London Eye, the Tower of London and the Science Museum. You can take a double-decker bus (双层巴士) . It will show you around the city. The buses stop near most tourist attractions. You can get off at any point. Outside the city, there is beautiful countryside with castles and gardens.
In a word, London is a good place for visiting and learning.
71．What do traditional British foods have
72．Why do Londoners carry both sunglasses and an umbrella around the year
73．Write down at least two famous places of interest in London.
74．Where can visitors go outside the city of London
75．How does the writer like London
B．书面表达
