A1.Do not drink up the tea at onceTea is not plain water, it can nourish(养育，抚养)your mind and keep you calm. If you're not thirsty, then do not drink up the tea at once. On the one hand, it may be hot and burns your lips. On the other hand, it is generally considered a rude behavior. You should take a sip and appreciate the flavor, from good smell to sweetness till the long aftertaste, you may find words are too plain to describe this fascinating feeling and process.2.Do not spit the tea out of your mouthIt is also considered that the biggest impoliteness of the guest is to spit the tea out of mouth, especially, in front of the tea server. This bad manner may also leave a very bad impression on the host.3.Do not smokeSmoking cigarettes during the tea drinking is disrespectful. If you are a heavy smoker, you should ask the host for opinions. You should not start smoking unless the host or the hostess allows you to.4.Do not be absent-mindedKeep calm and relaxed when drinking tea, instead of being absent-minded and dispirited. Tea is not only an amazing drink, it can also be your friend. When you feeluneasy, it helps you calm down; when you feel distracted, it makes you relax; while when you find your inner peace, it will bring you indescribable flavor. What a wonderful friend!21.

You can enjoy listening to MP4 and try to have a short period of sleep.D. You can find inner peace in your mind and relax yourself.22.

In the writer's opinion, tea can also be your friend because .A. when you find your inner peace, tea tastes betterB. when you feel unrest in mind, it helps you calm downC. when you can't focus on something, tea makes you distractedD. when you have no friends, make friends by drinking tea with themBFor the growing number of Chinese heading west to work and study, there's plenty they find surprising. Upon arrival in the West, many Chinese find they have to firstly put on the brakes. Li Yifeng, raised in northern China and now based in England, agrees. “The only thing Chinese people would be shocked by in Britain is how long it takes to do things，” he says. “For instance, in China if you want to open a bank account, you don't wait, you just do it at the counter.”Out­of­hours and weekend work is standard in China, but in Britain, the weekend is for family and friends.Jack Chen, who left his homeland 12 years ago and is now a lawyer in Belgium says office politics are simpler in Europe, partly because the hierarchy (等级制度) is less rigid (僵硬的,严厉的)than in China, where the boss really is the boss and social class in the office is very obvious and important. As a result, staff in a Chinese company think very carefully about how to present their views and ideas. Employees in the West can share their opinions more freely. In China you should have the wisdom to say something in an appropriate way. But in Europe you can just say what you want.The newest Chinese arrivals have a very different view to previous generations, according to Sharon Jin, who moved to the US 20 years ago and is now an American citizen. “Al most 100% of people of my generation who came to the States want to get a green card，” she says. “But today younger Chi nese plan to work for 10 years here and then return to China to buy a house or look after their parents.” While a record number of 523,700 students left China to study elsewhere in 2015, roughly 70%—80% of students abroad have been returning in recent years because of the attractive job market at home, according to the Chinese Ministry of Education. 24．What do many Chinese find surprising while in Britain?A. That they can open a bank account at any time.B. That they drive faster than the drivers in Britain.C.That working pace in Britain is slower than at home.D. That working extra hours in Britain is very common.25．It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that .A. Jack Chen has been a lawyer in Belgium for 12 yearsB. people in Europe express themselves in a modest wayC. Chinese employees are cautious(小心谨慎的)when presenting ideasD. employees in the West show less respect for their boss26．According to the Chinese Ministry of Education, most students return to China because ________.A. it's hard for them to get a green cardB. it's easy for them to buy a house at homeC. they will have to look after their parentsD. there are more job opportunities in China27．How does the writer organize the text?A. By listing some figures.B.By sharing some ideas.C. By comparing the differences.D.By interviewing students abroad.CBrian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn't have any other luggage(行李). Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in (办理乘机手续) for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package."Give this package to Jean Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily," Tony said, "You don't have any luggage, right?""Only this backpack," Brian answered. "You said I could bring one carry-on bag.""That's right. One carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.""Thanks."Is Brian a criminal (罪犯)? Not at all. He is an air-courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air-couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air-courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air-courier, but it is quick.Every year about 80,000 people worldwide travel as air-couriers. The number of tickets for the air-courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn't for everyone. But if you have very little money, you can be flexible (灵活的) about your travel plans, and don't mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation!28. Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel?_________A. Because his backpack had no room for his clothes.B. Because that made him easier to be recognized.C. Because they were the uniforms for air-couriers.D. Because he did not have any luggage with him.29. An air-courier is a person who _____.A. manages a business company in foreign countriesB. delivers papers and packages to foreign countriesC. travels around the world with cheap ticketsD. organizes international flights for tourists30.Businesses choose the air-courier service because _____.A. it is fastB. it is not flexibleC. it is cheapD. it is slow31. The author of the text mainly _____.A. describes the activities of a law-breakerB. tells us about a developing businessC. argues against the air-courier travelD. suggests an ideal way to free-travelDA warm drink of milk before bedtime has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night’s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that “night milk” contains more melatonin(褪黑激素), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows’ milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free(无添加剂的) with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk（脱脂奶）as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.32. According to the text, the mice fed with day-time milk _________than fed with night milk.A. started sleep more easilyB.less activeC.were more anxiousD.woke up later33. Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A.It can make people more energetic.B. It’s been tested on mice for ten times.C.

Fat, Sugar and Health.C. An Experiment on Mice.D.How to Drinking Milk.35. How does the author support the theme of the text?A. By giving examples.B. By stating arguments.C. By explaining statistical data.D. By providing research results.第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)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。
