Many of you maybe had this experience: you get on a train and are ready to take a nap or read a book, only to find that the young man in front of you is watching a TV show on his smartphone without headphones．The child next to you won’t stop crying．And the old lady behind you talks on her phone during the whole trip．
Wish the train could be less noisy? The Beijing-Shanghai High-speed Railway, one of China’s busiest high-speed rail lines, will have “quiet” carriages (车厢) starting from 23 December, Xinhua reported．
In quiet carriages, on-board videos will be muted (静音) and announcements will be made lower．Doors at the ends of the carriages will be kept closed to reduce noise from other carriages, CGTN noted．Train attendants will be responsible for making sure that passengers keep quiet and follow the rules．
Passengers who are willing to obey the rules can choose the quiet carriages when booking their tickets, according to China’s national railway operator．
Some people have pointed out that this kind of quiet environment should be offered in all carriages．They say that having quiet carriages might give people the impression that they don’t need to be quiet in non-quiet carriages．
Some Internet users uphold the new service (服务), but it also has discussion about just how quiet travellers should be in quiet carriages．Many people have asked questions such as “What if I snore (打鼾)?” and “Can we talk to our travel companions (同伴) if we need to?”

I was careful to behave as well as possible, hoping the King would give me freedom early．Lilliputians soon began to lose their fear of me．They called me Man-Mountain．Sometimes I lay down and let them dance on my hand, and from time to time children came to play games in my hair．By now I was able to speak their language well．
One day the King invited me to watch their regular entertainments．I was most interested in the rope-dancing．A very thin rope was fixed (固定) about thirty centimetres above the ground．People who wanted to become the King’s officials jumped and danced on this rope, and who ever jumped highest without a miss got the best job．There was another interesting entertainment．The King held a stick in front of him, and moved it up and down from time to time．One by one, people came up to him and jumped over the stick or crawled (爬) under it．They went on jumping and crawling as the King moved the stick．The winner, who jumped and crawled for the longest time, received a blue ribbon (绶带) to wear round his waist．The second received a red ribbon, and the third got a green one．I had certainly never seen such entertainments in any of the countries I had visited before．
Some days later the King agreed that I didn’t need to be a prisoner any longer．However, I had to promise certain things before I was set free:
- to be careful not to step on any Lilliputians or their animals
- to help the Lilliputians in war till they win peace (和平)
- to stay in Lilliput until the King allowed me to leave
I agreed to everything at once．I was free at last!
Several weeks after my visit to the country, I was visited by one of the King’s most important officials．His name was Reldresal, and he had helped me many times since I had arrived in Lilliput．
“Well, my friend,” he said, “Lilliput has enemies (敌人) both at home and abroad．At home we have two political groups, the High-Heels and the Low-Heels．The two groups hate each other．As the present King and his officials are all Low-Heels, they refuse to speak to High-Heels．That’s the problem inside Lilliput．Besides, we’re getting information that the people of Blefusce are going to attack us．Have you heard of Blefusce? It’s an island very near us, almost as large and important as Lilliput．They’ve been at war with us for three years.”
—Extracted from Gulliver’s Travels
38．Why did Gulliver try to behave as well as he could in Lilliput?
A．Because he wanted to be set free earlier.
B．Because the King ordered him to do so.
C．Because he was in fear of the Lilliputians.
D．Because he was called Man-Mountain.

B．The stick was fixed in the King’s hand about thirty centimetres above the ground.
C．The winners of the stick entertainment would be given ribbons of the same color.
D．The official who got the most important job jumped highest on the rope without falling.

Since last September, the policy (政策) called “Double Reduction” (双减) has been carried out nationwide．It aims to reduce (减少) students’ homework and the time that students spend on after-school training classes.
Some parents worry that the policy will l___66___ to fewer grades because students will get l___67___ help from after-school training classes．Also, they can no longer see their children’s rankings (排名) in each exam, which makes them not know which level their children are at in the class.
However, most primary and junior high school students think it gives t___68___ more free time to go in for after-school activities．According to a report on the progress made through the “Double Reduction” policy, about 92.7% of schools have p___69___ after-school art and sports classes for students so far．“W___70___ homework is done at school, my child and I can read books and listen to music together in the evening, or we can go out to play badminton or skip rope,” said Lu Di, the parent of a fifth-grader in Qiqihar, Heilongjiang Province.

七、任务型阅读（本题共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。
In the eyes of many foreigners, the Chinese are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world．And Western hosts sometimes look rude in the eyes of Chinese guests．It is because the guest-host relationship（关系）in China is quite different from that in some western countries.
In China, guests are almost like gods．Whenever I enter a Chinese friend’s home, there is always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water．In the west, generally the guest is not a god．Acting according to（根据）the host’s way of doing things is usual behaviour for a guest.
My wife’s mother, a very kind Chinese lady, doesn’t smoke．When I see some of her guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker I feel unhappy．Usually I want to stop them directly, but I must realize that in China, to be a good host, she must not do that.
In most North American homes, if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their houses．At the very least, you should ask “Is it OK if I smoke?” But don’t be surprised if they say, “No, you can’t smoke.” In my culture, if you smoke in their houses, you are a bad guest, but if they don’t allow you to smoke in their houses, they are not rude hosts.
In a word, no matter where you are, the best way to be a good guest is to adapt to（适应）the local customs．Just as the saying goes, “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”
76．To many foreigners, who are the best hosts and the worst guests in the world?
_____________________________________________________
77．What is usual behaviour for a guest in the west?
_____________________________________________________
78．How does the writer feel when he sees some guests smoking in his wife’s mother’s home?
_____________________________________________________
79．If a guest wants to smoke in an American host’s home, what question should he ask?

参考答案
一、单项选择题（共15小题，每小题1分，满分15分）
1、A
【解析】
【详解】句意：神舟十三号的安全返回是中国太空计划的一个巨大成功。
考查冠词。根据“big success”可知，此处的success“成功的事”是可数名词单数形式，所以空处应用不定冠词修饰，且big是以辅音音素开头的单词，所以用a，故选A。
2、B
【解析】
【详解】句意：如今，人们有了更多的交流方式，但他们之间的距离不像以前那么近了。
考查名词辨析。condition状态；communication交流；conversation谈话；competition竞争。根据“Nowadays, people have many more ways of…but they don’t get as close as before.”结合语境可知，虽然如今人们有了更多的交流方式，但是人们之间的距离不如以前那么近了，communication符合题意。故选B。
