Reading Comprehension (阅读理解)：（共50分）A)Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案）: ( 12分)Most people of the world do not bow to each other, but Japanesepeople do. They often bow when they meet. Men bow to men andwomen bow to women. Men and women may also bow to each other,but usually only if they do not know each other. The younger, or morejunior person bows more deeply than the older, or more senior person.The Japanese also bow to say ‘thank you’for something, or toapologize for something.Schoolchildren do not bow to each other. Schoolgirls say goodbye to each other by waving their hands and saying ‘bye bye’. Schoolboys may copy Westerners and pat each other on the back or make “high fives’ with their hands.Many types of hand gestures have special meanings. You may see Japanese people put their thumb and index finger together to form a circle. This circle represents a coin and this gesture is the sign for money. If the Japanese want to indicate ‘me’without using words, they point to themselves by putting a finger to their noses, but Westerners would pointto their chests. All young Japanese children learn to make a ‘V’ sign withtheir middle and index fingers when someone takes their photograph. In Japan, this sign means ‘peace’, but in England this sign means ‘victory’. To say ‘No’, ‘I don’t know’or ‘I don’t understand’, Japanese people wave their hands in front of their faces, so it may be difficult to understand exactly what someone means.Nodding of the head may also be confusing. When Japanese people nod their heads, it does not mean they agree with what you are saying, it means that they understand what you are saying. You must also be careful not to misunderstand a smile. When the Japanese smile they may not be happy, in fact they may be embarrassed.As in most countries in the world, Japanese people use a lot of body language. Some of it you will understand and some of it will be new or confusing to you.74.Japanese people bow ___________A) occasionally B) sometimes C) often D) never75.Japanese men and women __________bow to each other___________.A) usually… when they know each other B) always… when they first meet each otherC) usually… when they first meet each other D) always… when they know each other76.When Japanese people point to their noses it means____________.A) they need to blow their noses B) there is a bad smellC) they are lying D) they are talking about themselves77.When a Japanese person nods, it may mean____________.A) ‘I am happy’B) ‘I agree’C) ‘I understand’D) ‘I disagree’78.Some body language used in Japan is___________.A) international B) Italian C) childish D) only used at home79. The Japanese_____________.A) don’t like using body language B) don’t use much body languageC) only use Western body language D) use a lot of body languageB) Choose the words or expressions to complete the passage(选择最恰当的单词或词语,完成短文): (12分)Sir Alexander Fleming (亚历山大·弗莱明), the discoverer of penicillin(青霉素), was on his way to Belfast.

They also enjoy the lowestobesity （肥胖症）rate in the developed countries. What’s theirsecret? Their healthy diet contributes a lot.“Eating” with your eyesAn important feature of the Japanese diet is the visual appeal(视觉吸引) of food. Food with attractive appearance is presented on pretty little dishes and plates. This way of dining encourages you to “eat” with your eyes, by enjoying the beauty of the food. The result is that y ou slow down to savor（品尝）every bite, which means eating less, because it gives your brain time to realize you’re full.Smaller portions（量）In Japan, food is served on separate small plates and in bowls instead of on one big plate. Diners take turns having a little taste of everything. Serving smaller portions may be one of the best secrets for healthy eating and weight loss. Research shows that when we’re served more, we tend to eat it—whether we are hungry or not.Vegetable crazeJapanese prefer fresh vegetables and fruits. Lots of fresh vegetables and fruits are eaten daily in the Japanese diet. Japan is kind of a “vegetable-crazed”（嗜蔬菜如命的）nation. When Japanese women were asked which home-cooked meals they most loved to prepare for their families“mixed vegetable simmered（炖）in soup” came out on top. Green beans, onions, tomatoes, green peppers, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, sweet potatoes all have a place in the Japanese diet. Vegetables are served simmered in soup, stir—fried（炒）in a small bit of canola oil（菜油）or lightly steamed(清蒸). All these methods keep a maximum amount of nutrients(营养成分).Plenty of fishJapanese eat a lot of fish. Japan account for（占…比例）only 2% of the world’s population，but its people eat 10% of the world’s fish. Fish, especially fatty fish, for example, salmon（三文鱼）and tuna（金枪鱼）are Japanese favorites. Eating a lot of fish help them to reduce the risk of heart disease.93. What lowest rate do Japanese have in the developed countries?94. What is an important feature of the Japanese diet?95.
