    根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

    Every culture has its own unwritten list of behavior that is acceptable. Every society also has its taboos, or types of behavior that are considered a violation (违反) of good manners.

    The word “taboo” comes from the Tongan language and is used in modern English to describe verbal and nonverbal behavior that is forbidden or to be avoided. 1. They tend to be specific to a culture or country, and usually form around a group’s values and beliefs. What is considered acceptable behavior in one country may be a serious taboo in another.

    Verbal taboos usually involve topics that people believe are too private to talk about publicly, or relate to one’s manner of speaking. In many cultures, for example, it is considered bad manners to discuss subjects such as sex or religion in public. In some countries, the volume (音量) of one’s voice may annoy people. 2.

    3. For example, one of the biggest differences among many Western, Asian, and African cultures is the use of eye contact. In the US, people make eye contact when they talk to others. 4. In many Asian and African cultures, however, children are taught to lower their eyes when talking to their elders, or those of higher rank, as a way to show respect.

    Certain gestures made with the hands can have very different meanings depending on the country you are in. Crossing your middle finger over your forefinger is the sign for good luck in many western countries. 5. Also, in some Asian countries, moving your hands a lot while talking, or ‘talking with your hands’, is considered unsuitable.

    Behavior that is acceptable and non-offensive in one culture can be highly offensive in another. When visiting a foreign country, be aware of some of the basic differences, as this will help to ensure a more enjoyable trip.

    A. Nonverbal taboos usually relate to body language.

    B. In Vietnam and Argentina, however, it is a rude gesture.

    C. In spite of what some people may think, taboos are not universal.

    D. Cancer is a taboo subject and people are frightened to talk openly about it.

    E. Learn a country’s customs so that you don’t hurt the local people unconsciously.

    F. They might think that someone who is speaking or laughing loudly is rude or aggressive.

    G. If a person avoids eye contact, others might think he is being dishonest or unconfident.

    In 1975, George Carlin appeared on a popular TV show, Saturday Night Live, with his famous words about blue food. “Why is there no blue food? I can’t find blue food—I can’t find the flavor of blue! I mean yellow is lemon; orange is orange and red is cherry. Where is the blue food?”

    Well, Carlin pretty much has it right—there is not no blue food, but there’s certainly not a lot of it. Fresh-picked blueberries are blue, though they become purple when they are turned into jam. The blue in blueberries—like the purple in grapes and red in tomatoes—is found in nature. But it isn’t a hot color for food. People don’t seem to prefer blue food. Some diet programs even suggest that those determined to lose weight should make their food blue.

    Eating, in part, begins with our eyes. Chares Spence—an experimental psychologist from Oxford University—points out that color can change our taste experience. Commonly, we consider red-colored foods up to 20% sweeter than they actually are; and green foods as being more sour. Spence suggests: human expectations may be influenced by our long history of watching—green fruits can become sweet as they grow up and turn red.

    But what about blue? Except blueberries, much of the blue food we see these days is dyed blue artificially. Food producers argue that artificial color doesn’t do much damage to health. A lot of research shows that some physical problems of kids are related to food dyes—while other studies show no effects at all. Blue birthday cake or even blue-dyed chicken can be served on the dinner table. So what?

    1.George Carlin’s words are placed at the beginning of the passage to ________.

    A. show the author’s opinion

    B. tell a famous person

    C. introduce a TV show

    D. lead in the topic

    2.Which of the following statements of blue is true?

    A. Blue is not a very popular color for foods.

    B. Blueberries are always blue, whether fresh or not.

    C. The blue in blueberries is found unnatural.

    D. People often feel cold when they eat blueberries.

    3.Eating sometimes begins with our eyes because ________.

    A. red-colored foods are 20% sweeter than green foods

    B. our taste experience can be influenced by color

    C. people prefer red-colored foods to green foods

    D. before eating, people watch food for a long time

    4.The underlined words “is dyed” in para. 4 are closest in meaning to “______”.

    A. is eaten upB. has grown up

    C. is changed in colorD. is harmful to

    I’m a travel lover. I think it is very exciting to go to new places, experience different situations and see new things. Here’s what I have come up with about why my travel is so interesting.

    To start with, whether we know it or not, every day is filled with anxiety about things that we don’t need to worry about in the first place. Going to new places is a good chance to escape from our everyday worries. For example, after a whole day at work, I’m often physically and mentally tired and start to worry about things. However, the moment I get on the train or bus to my next destination（目的地） I forget all my tiredness and worries.

    Next is one of the most important things in travel: movement. I always take along books to read on my train trips, but in the end, only about five pages or so ever get read, because I just look at things out of the window. Just the ability to move is very enjoyable. Movement also means that we are going to new places and seeing new things. But why is that important? Because experiencing new situations, people and ideas can help us to learn about new things and grow. I have never gone on a trip and come back as the same person; I have always changed and grown through travel.

    So take every type of trip you can, at every chance you get, and you will not only experience more of the world, but will become a happier person with rich experiences.

    1.The passage is mainly about ________.

    A. how to have a comfortable life

    B. how to prepare for a trip

    C. why travel is so exciting

    D. why some people are tired of travelling

    2.Why doesn’t the author read much on train trips?

    A. Because he doesn’t like reading on the train

    B. Because his attention was taken away by the beautiful view.

    C. Because he is too busy working to read.

    D. Because he is so tired that he can’t read.

    3.People who travel to new places will ________.

    ①learn new things ②become happier

    ③get more experiences ④have more chances to read

    A. ①②③④ B. ①②④ C. ②③④ D. ①②③

    4.The author develops the passage mainly by ________.

    A. giving explanations

    B. giving examples

    C. listing number

    D. following the natural time order

    The Spring Festival is supposed to be a period of time entirely for family reunion. However, as people’s enthusiasm for digital hongbao increased, the amount of the time they spend with family members during the holiday decreases. There has been widespread criticism(批评) over digital hongbao that it has alienated family reunion.

    “I used to discuss programs in the Spring Festival Gala(春晚) with my family members, but this year, I hardly had the time to watch the gala because I was staring at my cellphone all the time,” said Kang, a 30–year old radio station editor. “I went to Karaoke with my cousins during the holiday, and I was grasping digital hongbao the whole time, even when I was singing Karaoke.”

    “On the last day of the holiday, I started to regret spending too much time on these digital hongbao. Therefore, instead of fighting for hongbao, I watched TV with my mom that night. I left home feeling sorry! I should have spent more time with my parents.”

    But Kang said regret came with a sense of achievement when he managed to bring classmates together.

    “Next year, I will still play the game, but with less money and for a smaller amount of time,” Kang said.

    Dong Chenyu, a teacher from Beijing Foreign Studies University, said it unfair to blame hongbao for destroying family reunion.

    “When television was invented, people accused it of standing in the way of face-to-face human communication. The same accusation came up on telephone and text message services when they were first invented. The same goes with digital hongbao,” Dong said.

    “It does nothing but offers a new way of human communication. The rest is people’s choice. As long as no one expects to earn money from this and takes this as a means of gambling(赌博), it’s a good way to improve human connections,” Dong said.

    1.The underlined word “alienated” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ________.

    A. separatedB. reservedC. encouragedD. improved

    2.How did Mr.Kang feel about digital hongbao according to Paragraph 2?

    A. He felt regretted in spending too much money.

    B. He had a strong preference for it.

    C. He was happy to spend too much of his time.

    D. He felt a sense of guilty in getting it.

    3.What can we infer from what Mr. Dong said about digital hongbao ________.

    A. it will bring us trouble in holiday reunion

    B. it will be out of fashion soon in future

    C. Mr. Dong is in favor of the digital hongbao

    D. lots of people will use it to earn money

    4.What’s mainly described in the passage?

    A. The Spring Festival is the best time for family reunion.

    B. Digital Hongbao is a double-edged sword.

    C. People’s holiday enthusiasm has decreased.

    D. Digital hongbao has become a popular way to make money.
