(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 others18. （10分） (2017九下盐都开学考) 阅读理解。In the middle of the first term of school， the whole seventh grade was tested for basic skills.

The high-achieving readers were known as the birds, and the kids with the most difficulty were the mice.I was a bird, and my best friend Bobby was a mouse. I can still remember how uncomfortable it was to hear Bobby read sentences out and he could only read several words in the sentence. This is how we usually think of a reading problemthe inability to decode symbols(解码) and change them into spoken language. Kids with this problem are hard to miss. But there may be many other kids in the classroom who are also poor readers, but in a very different way thats often invisible. These kids read correctly and fluently from the page they might even be birds but they dont understand most words from their mouths.Charles Hulme and his team of York University have been exploring this hidden reading problem, and theyve come to believe that it may be at its heart a spoken language problem. In one study, they found 8 and 9-year-old children who had reading comprehension(理解) problems. Then, some got help in reading and understanding written text, and others got only help with spoken language and still others got a mix of both. They all got 90 minutes of help every week for 20 weeks, after which their skills were tested. They were also tested again almost a year later, to see if any improvements existed.All three groups showed improvements in comprehension soon after the training, but those trained only in spoken language showed great improvements into the following yearmuch more than the others. Whats more, the improvements from the spoken language training and the less improvements from a combined (融合的) way appeared to come from improvements in vocabulary. In other words, the spoken language training seems to have resulted in a generalized improvement in the kids ability to understand language.Reading comprehension is important for success in life, more than ever in history. Reading difficulties create educational difficulties, which in turn lead to social and economic disadvantage, including joblessness. Kids wont be asked to read out loud in the real world, but they will be expected to know what theyve read.（1） _ are called mice in the writers class. A . Students who like animalsB . Students who have good scoresC . Students who are in small groupsD . Students who do worst in reading（2） What does the underlined word invisible probably mean? A . Cannot be tried.B . Cannot be seen.C . Cannot be hidden.D . Cannot be taught.（3） What does the result of Charles Hulmes research tell us? A . Scientists should observe long-term influence.B . A hidden reading disability have been explored.C . Reading difficulties create educational difficulties.D . Speaking training improves comprehensive ability.（4） Which is the best title for the passage? A . Is language training meaningful?B . Is language training easy or not?C . Is reading comprehension a hard problem?D . Is reading comprehension a hidden disability?20. （25分） (2017九上射阳期中) 阅读与回答问题Sixteen is a special age in the United States.
