They're not really bad guests, but because the guest host relationship in China is much different than in some western countries, it appears they are not nice guests. And western hosts sometimes look rude (粗鲁的)in the eyes of Chinese guests.In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home,there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west, generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behavior for a guest.My wife's mother, a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn't smoke. When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker, I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that. In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the very least, you could ask, ''Is it OK if I smoke?" But, don't be surprised if they say, "No, you can't smoke. " In our culture, if you smoke in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they do not allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you invite international guests to your house, don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift.In China, you probably won't need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you to their house,try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.( ) 1. Many foreigners think that Chinese hosts are the ______ in the world. A.best B. worst C. most natural D. most different ( )2. When a western guest visits a Chinese family, he often ______ .A.buys some fruitB. feels like a godC. wants some giftsD. takes a cup of tea( )3. If the writer's guests want to smoke in his house,what will he probably Say?A.It's OK if you smoke here.B. Let's smoke together.C. Sorry, you can't smoke here.D. Smoking is a bad habit.( ) 4. What is the meaning of the underlined phrase "adapt to" in the passage ?A.think back toB. get used toC. look forward toD. keep close toPassage 20A new report shows what life might be like in 100 years from now. It describes skyscrapers that are much taller than today's buildings, underwater 'bubble' cities and holidays in space. The report is from a company. It asked experts(专家) on space and architecture, as well as city planners, to give their ideas on the life in 2116. They said the way we live, work and play will be totally different to how we do these things today. The experts used the Internet as an example.They said that 25 years ago, people could not imagine how the Internet and smartphones would change our lives. The Internet has completely changed the way we communicate, learn and do daily things. The experts said the changes in the next century would be even more unbelievable.Researchers questioned 2,000 adults about the prediction (预言) they thought weremost likely(很可能的)to happen in the future. They predicted that in the future, few people will go to an office but will work from home and have work meetings online. People will have highly developed 3-D printers that will let you download(下载)a design for furniture or a food recipe and then' print' the sofa, table or pizza at home. There will also be less need for visits to the doctor. We will all have a home health instrument that will tell us what the problem is and give us treatment. We will also be going into space for holidays and to get resources that we have used up on Earth. A prediction that is missing is whether people will need to study English.( )1. The writer uses the example of the Internet in Paragraph l to showA. the Internet was often usedB. the Internet has developed fastC. people will not believe the changesD. technology will change people's lives( )2. With the help of highly developed 3-D printers, a way to get a sofa in 2116 is to .A. buy one in a shopB. ask somebody to make oneC. download a design and s 'print' oneD. design and make one by oneself( )3.

I was in the eighth grade at the time，and we were having a final test. In the test, the girl sitting next to me said something to me, but I didn’t understand. So I got closer to her and found out that she was trying to ask me if I had an extra pen. She showed me that hers could not write. I happened to have an extra one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.Later, after the test paper had been turned in，the teacher asked me to stay in the classroom when all the other students were out. Then she began to talk to me about honesty and emphasized(重点强调) the fact that when people do something dishonest，they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had talked to me about all those things.The next day, I realized that the teacher thought I had cheated in the test. When she saw me talk to the girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl’s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen，but she said it seemed very strange to her that I hadn’t talked of anything about the pen when she talked to me after the test. She continued to believe that I had cheated in the test.(1)(2.5 points)The story took place exactly ______.A. in the teacher’s officeB. in the classroomC. in the playground(2)(2.5 points)Why did the boy get close to his classmate during the test?A.

They find other criminals by using science and their computers. When there is a bank robbery(抢劫)，the police first look through their computers for the names of the bank robbers that they know about. Then they go and talk to any of these robbers who are not in prison(监狱).They ask them where they were when the robbery happened. If any of these people cannot give a good answer，the police will often use science to find out if one of them is the robber.Many criminals leave something of themselves at the places of the crimes like a fingerprint or a hair. Or they take something away on their shoes or clothes，like dirt or animal hair. If they leave behind some of their blood or their hair or a piece of skin，it will have their DNA inside it.Everyone’s DNA is different and their fingerprints are also different. So，if a criminal cuts himself during a robbery or leaves his hair，or even a small piece of skin，scientists can find out what his DNA is. The police can then ask the person they think is the robber to give them his hair or some blood and see if it has the same DNA. Many criminals are in prison today because of this kind of evidences.根据上文内容判断正误。

2020年中考英语专题分类卷题型二阅读理解（判断正（T）误（F）型阅读卷二）Passage 11The American writer Sally Seaman tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says founding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed (种子) and take care of it to make it grow.First, you should choose a friend. What makes a good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend could listen to your complaints (抱怨)and do his or her best to help you. To make a friend, you can't be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives.But things can not always be happy. Even the best friends have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. If he or she doesn't want to talk,you can write a letter. There are three steps to be friends again: Tell him or her how you are feeling, say what your friend has done wrong and explain(解释) why you did this or that.Remember that friendship is one of the most important things in your life.( )1. Friendship is like a tree.( )2.To make a friend, you should make each other happy and share your lives.( )3. A good friend should have money and good looks.( )4.

No. Before post cards, people liked sealed (密封的)letters.The idea for the first decorated(装饰) post card came to John P. Charlton in 1861. He thought a simple card with decorations would be a great way to send a note. Then in the late 1800s,post cards with pictures appeared. By law,people had to wnite their nol,e on the front-on the picture! The back was only for the address. Several years later, England allowed a divided-back post card. Then people could write their note on the back left side and put the address on the right. During the early 1900s,the golden age of post cards, picture post cards became a craze of the world. In 1908,Americans alone mailed over 677million post cards. Today,post cards are the third most popular collection in the world after stamps and coins.( )1.

A police car followed her, and the policeman in it saw her pass a red light without stopping.When Mrs. Jones came before the policeman,he looked at her seriously and said that she was too old to drive a car, and that her eyes had probably become weak with old age, so she had not stopped at the red light.After the policeman finished his words, Mrs. Jones, without saying a word, opened the big handbag she was carrying and took out her sewing(针线活). She chose a needle(针) with a very small eye, and threaded(穿线)it at her first try.When she had successfully done this, she took the thread out of the needle again and handed both the needle and the thread to the policeman,saying," Now it is your turn. You drive a car and you must see clearly. "The policeman took the needle and.tried to thread it. After trying for six times, he still didn't succeed, so Mrs. Jones wasn't punished.

The skills of artists have been already lost, so it is difficult to find the traditionalThang-ga paintings.Passage 15As we know,all living things have to eat food. For a man,a tiger, a fish,a bird, or even a worm, food is necessary.Generally speaking, all living things are sure to die without food. In every part of the world,many different kinds of animals share living places and live in communities(群落) together. They are connected in a food chain(链) .Within a food chain, some living things are producers and some are consumers(消费者). Plants are producers because they use sunlight,soil and other things to make their own food.

An herbivore is an animal that only eats plants. An omnivore is an animal that eats both plants and animals. A scavenger is an animal that eats dead animals.Look at the picture.It is an example of a food chain.

It is also a perfect opportunity ( 机会) to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization's expectations (期望). Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.The following tips can help if you have some of these worries:* Start out slowly, don't add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone's life.* Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.* Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked.* Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot, he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization's expectations.* Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.* Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn't work, don't give up and you'll surely find the right opportunity.Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people's lives.

'This was one of the most popular advertisements (广告) of 2014 and it describes American Ballet Theater's principal (主要的) dancer Misty Copeland.This was not a real letter. But Copeland says it is very similar to letters from her childhood. While many dancers start at the age of three, Copeland only began to study ballet in 1995 as a thirteen-year-old. People often told her that she was too old, or that she didn't have the perfect body type ( She is only 157 cm tall).Her family moved a lot, and it was sometimes difficult for her to attend ballet classes. But Copeland loved dancing and did not want to give up. She stayed withher ballet teacher during the week and spent Lime with her family only at the weekend. This was a difficult life, but she worked hard and won her first national competition when she was fourteen years old. Copeland joined the American Ballet Theatre in 2000 and performed in many ballets over the next few years.

【备战2024中考英语】中考英语考前冲刺重点题型专项突破专题02 阅读理解热点话题之中国传统文化中国元素20篇（含答案解析）精选2024年最新中考模拟试题Passage 1（2024·湖南长沙·二模）Sui Xin and her friends spent an afternoon roasting nuts and fruits around a coal stove (炉子) while enjoying freshly boiled white tea. This traditional practice of boiling tea has been described in many ancient Chinese art works. Recently, it has become a popular way for the young to run away from the busy life. It also gives young people of today a chance to get to know more about Chinese tea culture.Boiling tea over coal stove has always been part of people’s lives, especially during cold winters. To promote tea culture among the young, traditional teahouses have turned into new-style ones to meet the tastes of young people. The decoration (装饰) of some stores shows a combination (结合) of traditional Chinese styles and youthful design, such as Heytea’s Zhongguancun store in Beijing. Tea makers and modern teahouses are also trying to introduce tea culture to more people by creating new drinks and related (相关的) products to highlight local cultures and history. The drinks and products do catch a lot of people’s attention.Sun Xuling, a co-founder of Theatre Tea, noticed that there has been a clear increase in people’s understanding of Chinese tea in the past two years. To meet the need of young people, Theatre Tea is planning on building a tea experience store, which will give customers chances to try different ways of making tea and to learn more about tea culture.The exploration of new combinations between traditional tea culture, pop culture, and modern life is an exciting and important trend (时尚)in China.

The headdress is known as zanhua. Zanhua was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage in 2008.As a child, Huang Rongbing would watch his mother comb (梳理) her long and thick hair. After forming a bun at the back of her head, she would put colorful lowers into her hair, the 34-year-old recalled.The headdress inspired Huang’s career (职业) choice. In 2016, heand his older sister opened a salon. There, tourists can get their hair styled in the Xunpu tradition and have their photos taken. “We have been fully booked and now there are over 200 businesses offering services to dress tourists with a zan hua,” said Huang.The increase in tourist visits has made Huang happy. That’s because it not only keeps the business busy but also helps spread the history and culture behind zanhua headwear.After going through the full zanhua experience, Hu Titi, one of Huang’s customers, even brought zanhua culture to Paris in France last year. Under the Eifel Tower, she shot photos and videos of herself dressed in traditional Chinese clothes with a zanhua in her hair.Huang said the women of Xunpu are hard-working, warm-hearted and brave. They are famous for catching the best seafood. “When they put a zanhua on their head, they express their wish for happiness.

However, there are likely to be many surprises along the way. We would like to prepare you for, and even warn you of, the main differences between eating and drinking in China and in the West.Be prepared for your Chinese host placing food in your bowl, usually without even asking. The host will often put chicken legs or other parts of the meal in the guest’s bowl. Though Westerners may see this as interfering (干涉) with one’s independence and personal space, it is a sign of hospitality (好客) in China.Though in the West it is sometimes considered rude to put one’s elbows on the dining table, this is quite acceptable in China, especially when eating noodles. However, you may want to avoid this in some restaurants. Using your own antiseptic wipes (消毒湿巾) may help to put your mind at ease in some situations.In China it is also common practice to spit things out on the table or the floor. However, in more upper-market restaurants in China or in the West, people usually use one of the methods below rather than spitting. Using chopsticks, forks, or tissues (餐巾纸) is a polite way around the problem. You might want to ask for a side plate or an extra bowl for the bones (骨头), etc. Be warned if seeing piles of things that came out of someone’s mouth may put you off your food. You may want to order disheswith no bones.We realize Westerners usually come to China to experience things you don’t have at home. Our custo mers usually want to eat different things. If you want to enjoy Chinese food and experience the eating and drinking in China, see our recommended (被推荐的) China tours.9．What can we infer from the paragraph 2-3?A．It’s a sign of hospitality in China when the host puts a chicken leg in your bowl.B．Chinese hosts want to interfere with your personal space when they place food in your bowls.C．Westerners usually put their elbows on the table.D．Chinese always put their elbows on the dinner table.10．What does th e underlined word “spit” in paragraph 4 mean?A．扔掉B．吐出C．收拾D．发泄11．Which one is more unacceptable for westerners when eating something with bones?A．Asking for a side plate.

Can you guess what they are used for? Are they toys? Well, if you think so, think again. These cute “rabbits” are actually huabobo. It has been a popular traditional food in ShandongProvince for more than 300 years.Usually, huabobo is four or even six times bigger than mantou. It has become a necessary part of some important events. Local women use tools like knives, scissors and pens to shape the dough (生面团) into ducks, dragons, peaches, etc, before having them steamed. Then they color them. Their bright and beautiful colors are generally considered to express good wishes.For example, huabobo in the shapes of rabbits and tigers is usually given to children to express the wish that a boy will be as strong as a tiger and a girl as lovely and clever as a white rabbit. And huabobo in the shape of yuan yang represents the wish that a newly-married couple will live happily together to an old age.Huabobo is normally sweet in taste. The way to make huabobo has been passed down from generation (一代人) to generation in Shandong Province.Huabobo tastes good, but most huabobo shops only serve it locally. That detail caught the attention of Zang Chaiyuan, a 25-year-old girl from Yantai. She wanted to introduce huabobo to more people.Zang’s love for huabobo has also led her to create new shapes. She also uses natural fruit and vegetable juice to color huabobo. What’s more, she has found a way to store huabobo for over two months, making it more convenient to send it to other cities.Using her creative works, Zang has managed to breathe new life into the traditional huabobo, allowing more young people to understand and taste this traditional food.13．What purpose does Paragraph 1 serve in the passage?A．To introduce a new topic for discussion.

It can make them feel bad both in their bodies and minds. Some researchers wanted to see if Tai Chi, a special kind of exercise that uses slow movements to help both body and mind, could help people with fibromyalgia feel better. They studied 226 people with fibromyalgia for a year. Some did regular (常规) exercises, and others did Tai Chi, which can be done by anyone, no matter their physical limits.Before starting, the researchers checked how much pain and stress each person had. They chose patients who had a lot of pain and had been dealing with fibromyalgia for about nine years. They divided them into two groups: one did regular exercises, and the other did Tai Chi. Both groups exercised twice a week for an hour. After either 12 or 24 weeks of classes, they were told to practice at home for at least 30 minutes every day. The researchers checked on them every month. They also asked how much pain and other problems the patients had in the beginning, after 12 and 24 weeks, and after the whole year.The results showed that the Tai Chi groups, especially those who practiced for 24 weeks, had less pain than the regular exercise groups. The Tai Chi groups also felt less stressed and were better at dealing with their problems. They attended their Tai Chi classes more often.Tai Chi is about moving slowly to exercise all parts of the body.It helps with balance and controlling movements. It also helps with feelings and behavior. The researchers said, “Tai Chi helped patients with fibromyalgia feel better in their minds and bodies, which might be better for them in the long run.”Many patients have also said that Tai Chi helps them feel better. The researchers’ study adds something more to that They said, “Tai Chi could help patients feel more confident to manage their condition better.

It’s been changing so much over the last decade.” Recent producing proce ss, such as the addition of fruit, is leading Yunnan’s coffee to better results. “Every time a new product comes in, it tastes better than the last one,” Gao said.Farmers in China have grown tea for more than 3,000 years, but coffee has been grown there for only about a century in fewer areas. There was an uptick in the 1980s with government’s efforts. And the turn of the century and the 2010s saw a sharp growth with international companies investing in the coffee planting. But in the last 10 to 15 years, tastes and need for special and high-grade coffees appeared, especially from local growers and shops. The domestic demand for China-grown coffee has risen so rapidly that Gao says it’s now much more expensive.To further connect with the community, Gao hopes to hold classes for Yunnan coffee introduction. After all, she says, the Yunnan coffee tastes excellent when made in one’s own kitchen with a pour-over system. She hopes it’s only a matter of time before Yunnan coffee becomes popular among the homemade coffee lovers.47．What’s a misunderstanding of Chinese coffee beans?A．They are of poor quality.B．They have fewer producing areas.C．They have a strange taste.D．They are used in cheap coffee shops.48．Which of the following can be put in _________?A．M uch of the Western world doesn’t use good Chinese coffee.B．Much of the Western world drinks instant coffee most of the time.C．Much of the Western world prefers coffee in the coffee shops.D．Much of the Western world buys its coffee from Africa and South America.49．What does the underlined word “uptick” in paragraph 4 mean?A．Difference.

AI is a group of technologies that help machines get, understand and use information to do tasks.AI's recent developments have got a lot of social attention. Some people have welcomed AI because it makes things possible. For example, AI will have a big influence on areas like medicine and engineering. But this attention has also produced a lot of fear. Especially, many workers are worrying that AI could make them lose their jobs.According to a recent study, nearly five percent of jobs will disappear because of AI. In some industries,AI is already doing the work that people used to do, such as assembling （装配）cars, digging the coal and lifting goods. Self- driving cars and trucks controlled by AI will also take away the driver's jobs in the future.On the other hand, AI will also create many new jobs for people. More people will be needed to write programmes for AI systems（系统）and they will set up and work on them, too. Meanwhile, jobs that require feelings, excellent communication skills with people will not be replaced（取代）by AI. These includes jobs in fields like teaching, nursing and personal training.AI is here. It is changing how people live and work in many ways. That makes AI important to watch, not to fear.1、2题完成句子；3题简略回答问题；4题找出并写下第二段的主题句；5题将文中画线句子译成汉语。
