They include how to handle knives, forks and spoons and how to eat in a polite manner. To behave well abroad, you are to know some table manners. EATING MANNERS Japan: It is perfectly okay to slurp when you eat noodles. Unlike making big noises, slurping slightly is not rude. Japanese also say it tastes better if you slurp. Russia: Your wrists should be placed on the edge of the table while eating, fork in left hand, and knife in the right. It is not good manners to rest them on your lap. Keep your elbows off the table. Leave some food on your plate to show that the host has given you enough to eat. France: Never discuss money or religion over dinner. What is different from the manners in Russia is that finishing everything on your plate is considered good manners. Mexico: Whenever you catch the eye of someone who s eating, even a stranger, it s good manners to say provecho, which means enjoy. In Mexico, dining is more than a meal. Its a social occasion - lunches are seldom quick and suppers can last for hours. Where you sit matters in the country. Before you get seated, look for place cards, or wait until the host seats you. And you must say enjoy your meal before you leave the table. DRINKING MANNERS America: If you empty a bottle into someones glass, it obliges that person to buy the next bottle. Its polite to put the last drops into your own glass. Australia: In a pub it s usual to buy a round of drinks for everyone in your group. When it s your turn, say Its my round. When its their round, they will buy it for you. Dont leave before youve bought a round. Japan: Don t fill your own glass of alcohol.

Twelve-year-old Otso Riiali donated 200 euros to the zoo to give the bears new climbing trees, without which he thought they would be in danger. Otso, from the small town of Karjalohja west of Helsinki, says he saved up the money by selling 400 bottles of homemade berry juice with the help of his grandmother. It was hard work and my back hurt badly from all the bending in the forest while 1 was picking berries. said Otso. A visit to the bear shelter a few years ago drove Otso to bring some cheer to the animals, which he said didn t seem energetic. Otso could have kept all he made by means of selling juice for himself, but he made a decision to give a part of it to help animals. Otso showed an unusual ability to act. He did not stop at seeing what a bad situation the bears were in. Instead, he began to act in a practical way and made it. The zoo gladly accepted Otso s donation. However, bear caretaker Tiina Koivu mentioned that the bears foot-dragging (步履蹒跚) at the time of Otsos visit was caused by the summer heat.

Paper notes, meaning pieces of paper money, have been used in England for more than 300 years, but replacing them with plastic ones could be better. Plastic notes were first introduced to Australia back in 1988. Since then other countries, including Romania, Vietnam, Mexico and Malaysia, have also begun using money made in this way. Fans of water sports, such as surfing, find this type of money more useful and easier, as they can take it with them in the water and wont worry that it will fall apart. It is also good for people who by mistake put clothes in the washing machine with a note in the pocket! It is more hygienic (clean and free of bacteria) than paper money as it absorbs less bacteria(the simplest and smallest form of plants, some of which cause disease). And it is stronger. This means it lasts longer. According to a survey, a usual 5 note in the UK lasts around six months, while the $5 Australian bill lasts for an average of 40 months. A downside of plastic cash is that it costs more money to produce. Cash and money-counting machines will also have to be adapted to accept the new money. It is expected that the Bank of England, who hopes to start printing plastic notes from 2015, will introduce the money slowly, using the most common notes first.42. Which country was the first to use plastic notes? A. The UK. B. Romania. C. Vietnam. D. Australia.43. You can put the sentence Besides being waterproof, there are other good effects of using plastic notes instead of paper ones. at the beginning of_. A. Paragraph 3 B. Paragraph 4 C. Paragraph 5 D. Paragraph 644. What can you infer (推断) from Paragraph 6? A. Plastic notes should be printed in cash machines. B. There are some disadvantages of using plastic notes. C. Every country will have to accept the new money. D. Plastic notes should be produced by the cashiers.45. Which is NOT the reason why the UK wants to use plastic notes instead of paper ones? A. They take up less space. B. They are stronger. C. They dont let water through. D. They are more hygienic.四、词汇运用 (共l0小题；每小题l分，满分l0分) A根据句意和汉语提示，在空白处填入一个适当的单词。46.

To communicate well is to understand and to be understood. Communication can be successful only when both the sender and the receiver understand the same information. In todays highly informational and technological environment, it has become more important to have good communication skills. Here are some important steps to communicate effectively: Know what you want to say and why. Understand clearly the purpose of your message. Know to whom you are communicating and why. How will you say it? We all know that its not always what you say, but how you say it, that matters. Begin by making eye contact. You show trust and confidence when you look at others in the eyes when you speak. Second, pay attention to your body language, since it can say so much more than your words. By standing with your arms easily at your side, you tell others that you are open to hearing what they have to say. Communication is a two-way street. After you have said what you have to say, stop and listen. Practise your listening skills. Be considerate of other speakers by waiting until theyve finished. While others are talking, listen carefully and never cut them off.八、书面表达 (满分20分)76每个人都拥有梦想，而实现梦想需要行动。请你根据所给图片写一篇题为“Take action to realize our dreams”的英语短文。你的短文应包含以下内容： (1)描述图片内容，如情景、人物(Frank)、动作等；并简要表达你的观点； (2)谈谈你的梦想，及如何实现。注意：(1)词数90左右，短文首段已给出，不计入总词数；(2)文中不得提及考生所在学校及自己的姓名。 Take action to realize our dreamsAll of us have dreams, but how can we realize our dreams?_英语试题参考答案及评分建议一、单项选择(共15小题；每小题l分，满分l5分) 题号 l 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 1 12 13 14 15 答案 D B A C A D B C D B A C D C C二、完形填空(共l5小题；每小题l分，满分l5分) 题号161718192021222324252627282930答案BACCBCBCDABADDC三、阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) 题号 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 答案 C D C B C A C D C B B D C B A四、词汇运用(共10小题；每小题l分，满分l0分)46. millions 47. developed 48. courage 49. visitors 50. slimmer51 grow 52. without 53. facing 54. immediately
