Akuapem is in the eastern part of Ghana. The sun there shines all the time. The local people are very friendly and hospitable(好客的). Now let’s have a look at how Akuapem people receive a visitor.
A visitor is often welcomed warmly in a family of Akuapem. After the visitor is welcomed into the house, he is offered a seat and water at the very beginning, because the host assumes that the visitor must have come from a very long journey and need water. If there is a group of visitors, the host will greet the visitors from right to left. And the host shakes only with his right hand, because Akuapem people think the left hand is not clean.
Next, the visitor is asked how his journey was and why he has come. While the conversation is going on, the wife and the children, especially girls, are preparing food for the visitor. The visitor can choose his favorite food. After the visitor finishes eating, the host and the visitor go on with their conversation. Usually this is short one because the visitor is getting ready to say goodbye.
When the visitor is leaving, he is often given some food. He is also accompanied(陪伴) by one of the children to the nearest station. The child who accompanies the visitor will not come back home until the visitor leaves safely.
Whether he is a close friend or just a stranger, this is always how friendly Akuapem people receive a visitor.
小題1:The underlined word “assumes” here probably means “   ”.
A．thinksB．remembers .C．disagreesD．follows
小題2:Which of the following is TRUE to the passage?
A．The host talks little with the visitor.
B．The child accompanies the visitor to the gate of the house.
C．The host offers the visitor a seat only.
D．The visitor takes some food with him when he leaves.
小題3: From the passage we know that Akuapem people are         .
A．noisyB．friendlyC．impoliteD．quiet

小題1:A
小題2:D
小題3:B

試題分析：本文介紹了加納的一個城市Akuapem 是如何接待客人的。他們經(jīng)常熱情歡迎游客，當家里來了游客，他們一開始就提供他們座位和水，接下來問詢問游客路途怎么樣，為什么會來這里。他們會為游客準備飯，當游客離開時，他們會讓游客帶著一些食物。他們對對游客是非常友好的。
小題1:詞義猜測題。根據(jù)he is offered a seat and water at the very beginning,和visitor must have come from a very long journey and need water.可知游客一定來自很遠的路途，非常需要水，所以此處的主人一開始就提供他們座位和水，是因為他們想著這一點，故此處asumes表示想著、記著，故選A。
小題2:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù) When the visitor is leaving, he is often given some food.可知當游客離開時，他們會讓游客帶著一些食物。故選D。
小題3:推理判斷題。根據(jù)Whether he is a close friend or just a stranger, this is always how friendly Akuapem people receive a visitor.可知無論是親密的朋友還是陌生人，Akuapem的人們總是友好的接待游客，故推斷Akuapem的人是友好的。故選B。

Are you a gourmand(美食主義者)? Do you want to eat every delicious food in the world? Then do you watch the popular program?“A Bite of China(舌尖上的中國)” is a documentary on Chinese delicious food which has been broadcasted by Chinese central television. Is there any holiday that isn't celebrated with a special festival food? Here are several traditional Chinese foods:
Eggs hold a special meaning in many cultures, and China is no exception(例外). The Chinese believe eggs mean producing something new. After a baby is born, parents may hold a "red egg and ginger party," where they pass out eggs to announce the birth. In some areas of China the number of eggs represents the sex of the child, for example, an even number(1,3,5,---) for a girl, and an odd number(2,4,6---) if a boy has been born.
Noodles are a symbol of longlife in Chinese culture. They are as much a part of a Chinese birthday celebration as a birthday cake with lit candles is in many countries. Since noodles represent long life, it is considered very unlucky to cut it off.
Although westerners sometimes may be very sorry to see fish lying on a plate, in China a whole fish is a symbol of richness. In fact, at a party it is traditional to serve the whole fish last, pointed toward the valued guest. Fish also has a special meaning because the Chinese word for fish, yu, sounds like the word for richness or plenty, and it is believed that eating fish will help your wishes come true in the year to come.
A very popular dish during the Dragon Boat Festival is Zongzi. This tasty dish is made of rice dumplings with meat, peanut or other delicious food in bamboo leaves. The tradition of Zongzi is meant to remind us of a great man, Qu Yuan.
The 50-minute program tries to bring something new by presenting more cultural elements(元素),such as eating habits and the quality of eating.
小題1:A bite of China is _______________.
A．a(chǎn) bookB．a(chǎn) documentary
C．a(chǎn) guide bookD．a(chǎn) newspaper
小題2:How many kinds of traditional food are mentioned in the passage?
A．twoB．three
C．fourD．five
小題3:A girl has been born in Mr. Li’s home. How many red eggs may he pass out to his friends according to Chinese tradition?
A．two eggsB．none
C．three eggsD．six eggs
小題4:Which of the following is RIGHT according to the passage?
A．We can cut birthday noodles off in China if we think they are too long.
B．It is impolite to server a whole fish last at a party in China.
C．The program lasts for one hour.
D．There are many kinds of Zongzi during the Dragon Boat Festival.
小題5:What does the writer mean in the last paragraph?
A．The writer thinks the program is too long.

It was reported today that in China, 56% of people who write blogs(博客) do so as a personal diary and 83% use their blogs for sending messages to friends. It was also found that there is a strong East- West difference. In places like the US, blogs that offer information on news attract more readers but in China, blogs are more likely to be about sharing personal feelings.
It seems that bloggers can be divided into three types: IT bloggers, bloggers who record their ordinary feelings and media（媒體） bloggers.
When blogging first started, the IT people had the technological advantage and they took the chance to put their thoughts on the web. Some of these IT people now have had over a million people read their blogs.
The next wave of bloggers did not have any training as writers or in IT and wrote about normal daily life. Media bloggers, however, are trained writers, such as journalists and editors. When the many media bloggers showed up, the everyday bloggers lost most of their readers. Media bloggers have the advantage of knowing how to communicate well through the written words.
However, the normal bloggers are still out there and increasing in number. It seems that blogging is the new way to express your feelings. People feel like the world is listening to, or rather reading, their problems, even if they are not.
小題1: From the passage we know that________.
A．56% of the Chinese write blogs
B．people in US like to read blogs for news
C．the Chinese never share feelings with each other through blogs

Sports, school are tiring. But there is a great way to unwind after all of those activities. Go to north London, to the coolest part of the city---Camden. There you can find fashion trends (流行，趨向) and famous people.
Sam and I walked down Camden High Street and made our way to a bridge over Regent’s Canal. It is a 9-mile man-made river that goes through London.

Camden is famous for the punk（朋克）style that started in the 1970s. Punks walked around with bright pink and green hair, broken clothes with safety pins, metal buttons（紐扣）and pierced ears and lips. Punk music shops played loud, heavy rock music.
But there were also groups of hippies（嬉皮士）with big sweaters. They sat in cafes drinking soymilk, with black clothes, black lipstick and painted white faces.
Besides all these “normal” people, a lot of famous people come to Camden. Actor Orlando Bloom from Pirates of the Caribbean lives there.
