第三部分　阅读(共两节，满分40分)
第一节　阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
56. (　)The pictures above are ____．
A．a poster B．a notice
C．a comic strip(连环漫画) D．a news report
57. (　)From the pictures, we know that Western people prefer to ____．

A．table manners B．cultures and customs
C．vacation styles D．communication habits
B
The customs in different countries are rather different.
If I have dinner with a Chinese host, he always puts more food onto my plate as soon as I have emptied it. That often discomforts me greatly. I have to eat the food even if I don't want to, because it is considered bad manners in the West to leave one's food on the plate. I have already noticed that when a Chinese sits at an American's dinner party, he very often refuses the offer of food or drink though he is in fact still hungry or thirsty. This might be good manners in China, but it is not in the West at all. In the United States, it is impolite to keep asking someone again and again or insist on his accepting something. Americans have a direct way of speaking. If they want something, they will ask for it. If not, they will say, “No, thanks.” When an American is fed with beer by the host, for example, he might say, “No, thanks. I'll take some diet. Pepsi Cola (百事可乐) if you have it.” That is what an American will do. So when you go to the United States, you had better remember the famous saying：When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
59. (　)From the passage, we can know that the Chinese are usually ____ to the guests.
A．eager to give all they have B．rude
C．impolite D．cold
60. (　)Why does a Chinese often refuse the offer of food or drink at a dinner party
A．Because he has had enough.
B．Because he is shy.
C．Because he is afraid that others will laugh at him.
D．Because he thinks it's polite to do that.
61. (　)“When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” means “____”．
A．When you get to Rome, you should act as the Romans do
B．When you stay in Rome, you should do as the Romans do
C．When you are in a new country, you should do as the locals do
D．Romans can be an example for you
C
You may think you cannot live through summer without the air conditioner. But in ancient China, hand fans(扇子) were almost the only help for people to drive the heat away.
Chinese hand fans have a long history. The fans came in different shapes. They were made of all kinds of materials. Palm leaf fans were cheap and easy to make. Feather fans showed the owner's high status. Sandalwood fans could give off a sweet smell.
Later, hand fans became even more popular because they were seen as artworks. At that time, tuanshan(round silk fans) and zheshan(folding fans) were the most common.
In the shape of a full moon, tuanshan were usually made of silk. They had beautiful birds and flowers on them. Women, especially those in the palace, liked to use them. Poets often compared a woman's abandoned fate(被抛弃的命运) to tuanshan. Nalan Xingde wrote during the Qing Dynasty, “If_only_life_was_as_
beautiful_as_when_we_first_met,_why_should_the_autumn_wind__bother__to__pity__deserted(被舍弃的)__painted__fans？”
However, men, especially the literati(文人), used zheshan, or folding fans. The literati liked them because zheshan were usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems on them. It was a way for them to show their talents in literature, painting and calligraphy. Almost everything could be painted on zheshan, but the most popular was usually landscapes.
Today, Chinese people still use these fans. They have already become a symbol of Chinese culture and also a part of our everyday life.
62. (　)(新考法·图文理解) Picture ________ is a kind of zheshan.
A. B. C. D.
63. (　)(跨学科·语文)Which of the following is the Chinese translation of the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4
A．人生若只如初见，何事秋风悲画扇。
B．银烛秋光冷画屏，轻罗小扇扑流萤。
C．相见时难别亦难，东风无力百花残。
D．奉帚平明金殿开，暂将团扇共徘徊。
64. (　)What can we learn from the passage
A．The literati loved using tuanshan best.
B．The literati usually painted landscapes on zheshan.
C．Palm leaf fans have a sweet smell.
D．There are 4 kinds of hand fans mentioned in the passage.
65. (　)The best title for this passage can be “______”．
A．How to Make Chinese Hand Fans
B．Different Types of Hand Fans in China
C．Why Hand Fans Are Popular in China
D．The Different Uses of Hand Fans
D
Have you ever wondered why we say maidongxi instead of mainanbei, and shangcesuo rather than xiacesuo These directional words in Chinese are very interesting. They are not only about giving directions but also carry a wealth of history and culture.
East/west or south/north
One theory says that in the Tang Dynasty, when shopping, people in Chang'an usually went to the East Market first, and then the West Market. And these markets became more and more popular as time went by. Gradually, people started to describe shopping as maidongxi.
Left or right
In Chinese, we say yijian xiangzuo when we have different opinions. Why is it not yijian xiangyou
Most people today are right handed. They feel uncomfortable if they try to use their left hands to write or use chopsticks. This was true in old times as well. In ancient Chinese, “left” was related to being different, such as in yijian xiangzuo. If people don't accept common beliefs or always use some non traditional ways to achieve a goal or solve problems, we say they are following pangmenzuodao.
Up or down
We use shangcesuo to mean “go to the bathroom” and xiachufang to mean “go to the kitchen”. Why In ancient times, houses were laid out in a certain way. The gate of the house would face south, with the bathroom in the northeast of the house and the kitchen in the southeastern part. On a map, north is usually at the top while south is at the bottom. In Chinese, we talk about north as shang and the south as xia. Therefore, people would say they were going “up” to the bathroom and “down” to the kitchen.
These directional words help us find our ways and get__a__glimpse into the interesting history and culture of ancient China as well. Next time when you use them, maybe you can think about the special meanings behind them and make your conversations much more fun.
66. (　)Why does the writer use shangcesuo and maidongxi in the first paragraph
A．To tell a story. B．To introduce the topic.
C．To give an example. D．To solve a mystery.
67. (　)(跨学科·语文)Which of the following Chinese expressions can be used as an example in “Where to buy things”？
A．东市买骏马，西市买鞍鞯
B．东边日出西边雨
C．青山横北郭，白水绕东城
D．任尔东西南北风
68. (　)(新考法·图文理解)Which is the right layout of the ancient house
A. B. C. D.
69. (　)In which of the following sentences can we fill in the underlined phrase “get a glimpse into”？
A．It's really fun to ________ camping outside, and we all love it so much.
B．Though you turn down our invitation, we still ________ your coming.
C．The trip to the museum made children ________ the development of science.
D．If you keep buying something expensive, you will ______ your money soon.
70. (　)What is the best title for this passage
A．Interesting Stories of Directional Words
B．Cultural Meanings of Directional Words
C．Main Differences of Directional Words
D．Historical Development of Directional Words
