Gift giving should be a happy，positive experience.When selecting a present for someone in Netherlands，don't purchase fancy kitchen knives or scissors.Giving sharp，pointy objects as gifts is considered unlucky.Be careful when presenting flowers to a friend or a business partner in Russia.Yellow blooms suggest cheat or a relationship break up.Traditionally，red carnations are placed on the tombs of the dead.Writing cards or notes while visiting South Korea，be mindful of your pen's ink color.Writing a person's name in red ink traditionally suggests that the person has passed away－an important point to remember when giving a birthday card. Being early or on time is viewed as being rude，too eager or even greedy in Venezuela.If you are invited to someone's home for a meal，it's recommended that you arrive 10 to 15 minutes later than the requested time.When having a meal in Egypt，don't use the saltshaker(盐瓶)．It's insulting to your host to spread salt on your food，which means that you find the meal terrible.Japan is a very polite nation，and their fondness for etiquette extends to the mealtime use of chopsticks.According to Japanese custom，it's considered illmannered to point at，play with，or stab (戳) food with chopsticks.If you're in the middle of eating，use the opposite end of your chopsticks to secure food from a shared plate.Using the end that touches your mouth is extremely offensive (冒犯的)，not to mention the fact that it's unhygienic(不卫生的)． 语篇导读：俗话说“入乡随俗”。因此，当人们在旅行的时候，了解各地的风俗习惯和礼节是非常重要的。地域不同和文化多元化导致不同地区的风土人情差异较大。人们只有充分了解了这些特点，才不至于在旅行时被认为有失礼节甚至粗鲁无知。 1.When sending a gift to your friend in Netherlands，you should avoid________. A．sharp knives B．red carnations 3
C．yellow flowers D．long chopsticks 答案：A 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的第二、三两句“When selecting a present for someone in Netherlands，don't purchase fancy kitchen knives or scissors.Giving sharp，pointy objects as gifts is considered unlucky.”可知答案为A项。 2.In South Korea，writing a person's name in red ink is not accepted because________. A．red often stands for violence B．it shows that you're not friendly C．it means that the person is dead D．red is not a favorite color there 答案：C 解析：细节理解题。根据第二段的最后一句可知，用红墨水书写一个人的名字时，传统上表明这个人已经去世了。答案为C项。 3.What does the underlined word“insulting”in Paragraph 3 refer to？ A．Admirable. B．Challenging. C．Rude. D．Respectful. 答案：C 解析：词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的后半部分“往吃的食物上撒盐，意味着你认为所吃的饭很糟糕”可知，insulting应与rude同义，表示“无礼的”。所以答案为C项。 4.Where does this passage probably come from？ A．A news report. B．A travel guide. C．A museum guide. D．A science book. 答案：B 解析：文章出处题。通读全文，尤其是文章第一段的内容可知，本文讲的是人们在旅行的时候充分了解当地的风俗和礼节的重要性。由此可知，本文很可能选自旅行指南。所以答案为B项。 Ⅳ.阅读填空 Break in Springtime In late March and April, most US schools, ranging from kindergartens to colleges, give students one to two weeks off from school.__1__ Some families go on vacation, visiting a new state or even a new country. Students can also relax at home, reading books and watching movies. __2__ A number of coastal towns put on special musical performances and deals specifically for spring breakers. The Ultra Music Festival on Miami Beach, for instance, started on March 28 this year. __3__ Take Japan as an example. Instead of partying, many Japanese students

can be extremely difficult.Decisionmaking styles are significantly different in different cultures.In any approach to a problem and in any negotiations，the Western world turns to the“I to you” approach while Japan，the “you to you” approach.The former means both sides present their arguments openly from their own point of view.Naturally，often comes a confrontation (冲突) situation，which the Westerners are very skillful in dealing with.The latter is based on each side trying to understand the other person’s point of view.Thus，the direction of the meeting is a mutual (相互的) attempt to reduce confrontation and achieve harmony.Besides，Western decisionmaking goes mostly from top management and often does not consult middle management or the workers.However，in Japan great consideration is given to t he thoughts and opinions of everyone at all levels.Based on “bottomup direction”，ideas can be created at the lowest levels，travel upward through an organization and have an effect on the final decision.Difference in decisionmaking also comes from differ ent communication styles.The Japanese business person works to achieve harmony，even if the deal falls through，and will spend whatever time is necessary to determine a “you to you” approach，communicating personal views only indirectly.They put a thorough job above the Western deadline approach.So the Japanese is thorough in their meetings.ThusAmericans are often annoyed by the many meetings in many Japanese businesses.But where the American is pressing for a specific decision，the Japanese is trying to think up a rather broad direction.On the other hand，once a given agreement is made，it is the Japanese who sometimes wonders at the slow pace in which the Westerners carry out the decision.The Japanese is eager to move forward and the Westerners，perhaps，lag (落后于) behind as they take the time for indepth planning.1．A Japanese business bases its decision________.A．on topdown directionB．on nothing but its workers’viewsC．on bottomup directionD．only on its top leaders’opinions2．The text mainly tells us that Japan and the Western world________.A．face great difficulty in making decisionsB．are different in decisionmaking stylesC．have all members contribute to a decisionD．have two approaches：“I to you” and “you to I”3．Which of the following is TRUE of the Westerners?A．They carry out the decision once it is made.B．There are many meetings in their businesses.C．They work to achieve harmony in doing business.D．They are good at handling confrontation situation.4．The author’s attitude towards Japanese decisionmaking is________.A．positive B．criticalC．negative D．casualⅣ.信息匹配A.Earthquake ForecastB.Historical Records of EarthquakeC.Intensities of EarthquakesD.Cause of EarthquakesE.Indications of EarthquakesF.Damaging Earthquakesearthquakes are responsible for a large number of deaths and a vast amount of destruction in various parts of the world.Most of these damaging earthquakes occur either in a narrow belt which surrounds the Pacific Ocean or in a line which extends from Burma to the Alps in Europe.Some of the destruction is directly caused by the quake itself.An example of this is the collapse of buildings as a result of the quake itself. Other damage results from landslides (山) or major fires which are initiated by the quake.崩generally occurs from quakes ranging upwards from 6.0.earth’s surface.This is produced by pressure which scientists believe may be due to a number of reasons，two of which are the expansion and contraction of the earth’s crust and continental drift.the damage and to prevent some of the suffering resulting from earthquakes，scientists are working on ways to make accurate prediction.Special instruments are used to help people record，for example，shaking of the earth.Scientists are trying to find methods that will indicate the exact time，location and size of an earthquake.have been observed which are believed to be signs of imminent earthquakes.These include strange behaviours of some animals，the changes in the content of mineral water，etc..The magnetic properties (磁性) of rocks may also display special pattern before major earthquakes happen.选修八Unit 1 A land of diversityⅠ.语音知识1～5.DACBAⅡ.单项填空1．【解析】选B。

推荐高考(押题)英语一轮选训习题 Unit 1 A land of diversity(含解析)新人教版选修8
选修8 Unit 1 A land of diversity李仕才一、阅读理解A＂An apple a day keeps the doctor away＂ is a popular saying in the United States. It may be a common saying, but it is not scientifically confirmed. However, a new study adds to evidence that suggests taking a small amount of aspirin can help keep the doctor away. Peter Elwood is with Cardiff University’s School of Medicine in Britain. Forty years ago, he was involved in the first study to explore the effects of aspirin on the prevention of heart disease. Elwood’s team examined 47 studies for evidence that aspirin helped cancer patients. They found there’s fairly consistent evidence of a 15 to 20 percent reduction in death and a reduction in cancer’s spread, by low dose(剂量) aspirin. By low dose, he means 81 milligrams. The study followed cancer patients for five years. Elwood says the evidence is strong that aspirin delays death among cancer patients. Elwood’s team are excited to have this evidence from the study. Elwood adds that it is not a cure but a small sign of better things to come, what he calls a little hope and encouragement. ＂If you asked me personally what I would do if doctors told me I had cancer, I would say I would have no hesitation in taking it. But I do not recommend it to people.I want them to have the evidence and make their own decisions.＂The only major risk is that aspirin can cause stomach bleeding. But Elwood says it usually does not cause death. He adds that the evidence points to big health benefits of takinga daily aspirin. So, for some people, the pros might overweigh the cons.1. What does the author want to tell us in Paragraph 1?A. Patients should eat apples.B. Apples are popular with Americans.C. Aspirin can be good for health.D. Doctors should use aspirin instead of apples.2. What does Elwood suggest people do?A. The less aspirin, the better.B. Don’t delay in taking aspirin.C. Taking aspirin is a better way to cure cancer.D. Make decisions in the best interest of their own.3.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?A. Aspirin is the best cure for cancer.B. Taking aspirin won’t kill in the long run.C. Taking aspirin does more good than harm.D. The side effect of taking aspirin is strong.【语篇解读】文章介绍每天服用少量的阿司匹林对健康有好处，可以延缓癌症病人的死亡。
