(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案。)Have you ever found that what may be normal to us may be strange to others?Why is that so? Not all changes can be explained as tradition or custom. And what causes these differences in the first place? How did some of them become traditional?In Thailand, it is very rude to walk into a persons house with your shoes on.Shoes are left at the front door. And it is considered rude to cross your legs in company and to point your toes at another person. The feet, as the lowest part of the body, are given the lowest respect. Pointing a toe is demeaning to the person at whom the foot is pointed.Equally, the head is the most important part of the body and should never be touched by another. Children in most western countries are familiar with being patted on the head and consider it a compliment. In Thailand, however, it is extremely rude.Also in Thailand and some other Asian countries, when two people meet it is the practice to hold the two hands together in a prayer position. It is called a whai in Thailand and takes the place of the western handshake. Once again this is a much cleaner greeting as there is nobody contact. The height of the hands raised shows the importance of the person to whom the whai is made. The most common whai between two equals is with the tip of the fingers at nose level. When a person of a lower status(社会地位)meets a person of a higher status, the former raises the hands to forehead height and the latter to chest height. It is a very convenient way to greet a friend with a whai in a crowded room where personal contact is difficult. It seems so much more dignified and sincere to greet with a whai rather than a wave(招呼).It is those customs which travelers consider odd that make travel worthwhile.（1）If you want to visit a friend in Thailand, its necessary to _. A . leave your shoes at the door of your houseB . take off your shoes before entering his houseC . cross your feet to show your respectD . point your toes at your friend（2）The underlined word demeaning in part 2 probably means_. A . shamefulB . carefulC . importantD . impolite（3）Its very rude to pat on the head in Thailand because _. A . people consider it as complimentB . the head is given the lowest respectC . the head is the most important partD . children are never allowed to touch the head（4）It may not be _ by greeting Thais with a whai. A . cleanB . convenientC . strangeD . sincere（5）If you have a Thai classmate, you greet him by holding two hands with the tip of the fingers at _ level. A . noseB . eyeC . chestD . forehead（6）We can infer from this passage that _. A . travelers have to accept foreign customsB . tradition is the main reason to cause differences among countriesC . the writer help people understand and follow different customsD . the writer stress the importance of respecting others3. （10分）根据短文理解，选择正确答案。One day, Mr. Arnold was teaching a lesson, and things were going as normally as ever. He was explaining the story of human being to his pupils. He told them that, in the beginning, men were nomads (游牧); they never stayed in the same place for very long. Instead, they would travel about, here and there, in search of food, wherever it was to be found. And when the food ran out, they would move off somewhere else.He taught them about the invention of farming and keeping animals. This was an important discovery, because by learning to cultivate (耕作) the land, and care for animals, mankind would always have food steadily. It also meant that people could remain living in one place, and this made it easier to set about tasks that would take a long while to finish, like building towns, cities, and all that were in them. All the children were listening attracted by this story, until Lucy jumped up:And if that was so important and improved everything so much, why are we nomads all over again, Mr. Arnold?Mr. Arnold didnt know what to say. Lucy was a very clever girl. He knew that she lived with her parents in a house, so she must know that her family were not nomads; so what did she mean?We have all become nomads again,” continued Lucy, The other day, outside the city, they were cutting the forest down. A while ago a fisherman told me how they fish. Its the same with everyone: when theres no more forest left, the foresters go elsewhere, and when the fish run out, the fishermen move on. Thats what the nomads did, isnt it?The teacher nodded, thoughtfully. Really, Lucy was right. Mankind had turned into nomads. Instead of looking after the land in a way that we could be sure it would keep supplying our needs, we kept developing it until the land was bare. And then off we would go to the next place! The class spent the rest of the afternoon talking about what they could do to show how to be more civilized (文明的).The next day everyone attended class wearing a green T-shirt, with a message that said I am not a nomad!And, from then on, they set about showing that indeed they were not. Every time they knew they needed something, they made sure that they would get it using care and control. If they needed wood or paper, they would make sure that they got the recycled kind. They ordered their fish from fish farms, making sure that the fish they received were not too young and too small. They only used animals that were well cared for, and brought up on farms.And so, from their little town, those children managed to give up being nomads again, just as prehistoric men had done, so many thousands of years ago.（1）Why would early humans travel about in the beginning?A . To experience different lifestyles.B . To go sightseeing in different places.C . To find what they could to feed themselves.D . To do more exercise to build themselves up.（2）From Paragraph 2, we can know that _.A . people got tired of living in the same placeB . people gradually got used to living in citiesC . people spent a long time in learning to keep animalsD . people tended to settle down after learning farming and keeping animals（3）The teacher thought Lucys argument was _A . reasonableB . unbelievableC . puzzlingD . shocking（4）Which of the following agrees with the underline sentence I am not a nomad (Paragraph 7)?A . People eat young fish for its delicious taste.B . People use recycled materials as much as possible.C . Fishermen move elsewhere when there is no fish left.D . Foresters leave the place where there is no wood left.（5）The writer tries to make us believe that _.A . mankind has been progressing mainly through traveling aboutB . its unwise for mankind to use the land in an uncontrolled wayC . its quite good for students to learn more about the history of mankindD . teachers should encourage students to voice their own opinions bravely4. （10分）阅读理解 These days, more and more students in the UK are taking a gap year between their graduation from school and their university studies.

I had learnt the importance of relationships with people, on all kinds of levels.There are many companies around the world that welcome these students on their projects-helping people in poorer countries, or even in your home country.
