I think you already know that people in different countries usually have different ways of doing things. Something that is rude in one country may be quite polite in another. For example, in Britain you mustn't lift your bowl to your mouth when you are having liquid food. That is considered bad manners in Britain. But in Japan you needn't worry about making a noise when you drink something. It shows that you are enjoying it. In Britain we try not to put our hands on the table at all during a meal. In Mexico, however, guests are expected to keep their hands on the table throughout a meal. In Arab countries we must be careful with our hands. You see, in Arab countries you mustn't eat with your left hand. This is considered to be very impolite. So, what should you do if you visit a foreign country? Well, you needn't worry. You can ask the native people there to help you and you can just watch carefully and try to do what they do.46. In Arab countries you must be careful with your ________.A. feetB. mouthC. eyesD. hands47. In Britain we try not to put our hands ________ during a meal.A. on the sofaB. in the bedC. on the tableD. in the pocket48. Which of the following is true?A. In different countries, the manners are the same.B. Manners are different in different countries.C. Good manners are not important.D. In Arab countries we mustn't be careful with our hands.49. What's the meaning of the underlined word “throughout” in the passage?A. 穿过B. 贯穿C. 通过D. 横过50. The main idea of this passage is about ________.A. mannersB. foodC. trafficD. lightsBDear Mum and Dad,I'm writing this letter to you from the center of Australia. At the moment we're staying near Uluru—that's the aboriginal(土著的) name for Ayers Rock. On the first day, we took a balloon tour over the rock, and I was surprised at how big it is: 3 kilometers long and 335 meters high. The colors of the rock are fantastic, and at different time of the day, they change from purple to red. The Aborigines are the first people of Australia, and the ancient aboriginal stories describe the spirits that created the world. Uluru is a center of Aboriginal culture.The Australians have many British relatives. That's why they're like us in many ways. Their family life is similar to ours, and they enjoy the same food and hobbies. The food and drink that most Australians like are grapes, lamb, ham and especially wine that they make in the south of the country. They love all sports, but football is the most popular. Most Australians live near the coast, so they also love going to the beach, swimming and surfing.Although it's December, it's summer here. The sunshine is very bright, and near the coast the countryside is very green. There are lots of sheep in the fields and on the hills, but the outback(澳大利亚的内陆地区) is more like a desert, full of rocks and sand.The next day after we arrived at Uluru, we went on a camel(骆驼) ride. The camel that I rode had a bad temper. When I sat on its back, it became very angry and refused me. So everyone else thought it was very funny that my camel kept lyingdown...Finally, later this evening, we're taking the plane back to Sydney and coming home. It's been a fantastic trip!Tony51.

The underlined word “temper” means “________” in Chinese.A. 脾气B. 记忆C. 命令D. 信心55. What is the best title of this passage?A. A Balloon TourB. An Aboriginal LetterC. A Fantastic TripD. A Summer EveningCAIf we laid all of the blood vessels(血管) in the human bodyBFor the first time, Coca­Colahas showed that it uses 3, 000, 000tons of plastic bottles each year.That's the weight of 15, 000 blueCIf your throattickles(发痒), pressingyour ear might make itgo away.

When you press your ear, the nerves in your throat can feel it.D It takes about7 to 8 trees to make enough O2 for one person to breathe for a year. Each person needs around 750 kg of O2 per year. A large tree might make around 100 kg of O2 per year.ETo young children, a year mightseem to last forever. But older people might say that it flies by. Why is that? According to the US scientists, young people's brains deal with information fasterthanolder people's.They take inmore information and young people do more things in a day. So young people feel like each day lasts longer. However, older people's brains take in less information, so older people see a day pass more quickly.FAbout 200 muscles(肌肉) work together when you take a step. That's a lot of work for your muscles,sincemany people take about 10, 000 steps a day.

You've all grown up so much and I'm so proud of you.Although you've all worked very hard over the last three years, none of you did it alone.
