三、 阅读理解(本题共15小题；每小题2分, 满分30分)

There were several kinds of greetings in ancient (古代的) China. Among them, fist and palm salute was quite common. Today, though Chinese would usually shake hands when meeting friends, people would still make fist and palm salutes when they are paying a visit to someone during the traditional Chinese New Year or attending someone’s birthday reception (接待).

Fist and palm salute is one of the typical Chinese etiquette (礼仪) with a history of more than 3000 years. In ancient times, if people met a stranger (陌生人), their hands were always ready to hold something used for fighting. Holding hands together showed that people could feel relaxed (放松的). Later it became the etiquette when meeting each other and showing thanks. In modern China, fist and palm salute has been used a lot on traditional occasions (场合).

The gesture of fist and palm salute: Firstly, stand straight. If you are a man, let your right hand be a half fist (拳头), and then your left hand hold your right hand in front of your chest (胸部). Watch each other in the eyes, raise both of your hands to your brow (额头), bent down and shake hands towards each other gently for three times. Meanwhile, you could say some lucky greeting words such as “gong xi fa cai” (Wish you much money), “ni hao” (Hello), “xing hui” (Nice to meet you), “xin nian kuai le” (Happy New Year) to each other according to different occasions. It’s believed that people considered the left as the important side for men in Chinese history, while for women, the important side is the right. So, if you are a woman, you should make fist and palm salute in the other way—put your right hand on your left hand. At last, please remember when someone makes fist and palm salute to you, you need to do it back as well.

31．The history of fist and palm salute is ________.

A．2000 years       B．more than 2000 years                                 C．3000 years D．more than 3000 years

32．In ancient times, people thought holding hands together could ________.

A．make them feel relaxed                        B．protect strangers quite well

C．show they were friends                         D．cause strangers to have a fight

33．The underlined word “gesture” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.

A．涵义                B．姿势                      C．形成                      D．分析

The Spring Festival, or Chinese Lunar New Year, is the most important holiday in China. It is a time for family reunion, celebrating the arrival of spring, and observing customs and traditions.

The new year festivities begin with a complete cleaning of the house to sweep away any ill fortune and make way for good luck. Then people put up Chinese decorations, such as couplets and the character “福”. It is often hung upside down as a play on words, as it sounds like the word for ”arrive” in Chinese. The color red is everywhere during the festival as it shows vigor(活力) and happiness. People wear red clothes, paste up red pictures, and hang lanterns.

The most prominent (显著的) feature of the Spring Festival is the reunion dinner. Family members may live in different cities throughout the year, but they manage to return home and celebrate together. They gather to enjoy reunion dinners with dishes like dumplings symbolizing wealth and fish, fried meat balls, etc. Every dish has its meaning like peace, good luck, good health…

Just before midnight, everyone goes outside and millions of fireworks go off together. The sky suddenly becomes bright and everybody cheers.

Visiting and receiving guests is an important part of Spring Festival celebrations. They greet each other and wish a healthy family and good luck in the coming year. Children get red envelopes with money symbolizing good luck.

When I came back to England, there was no one to go to as a friend or family members. My parents were dead, and because they had thought I was dead. There was no money left to me.

I had almost nothing in the world. All the money I brought back with me was spent in no time on new clothes for myself and Friday, and other necessary things.

Friday and I then went over to Portugal (葡萄牙) to see about the land I still had in Brazil (巴西). I did not know if it had been kept for me, but it was all I could do.

In Portugal, I found the captain of the Portuguese ship that had saved me in Africa. He was quite old now, and did not know who I was at first. But after I told him my story, he remembered me well.

He gave me the happy news that my land in Brazil was still mine, and had been held for me by the government all these years, and that much money had been saved for me. All that I had to do was to go and let them know that I was still alive, and the land and the money would be mine.

Right away, Friday and I went to Brazil and claimed (索要) the land. I now had lots of money again, and we lived in Brazil for a number of years, and life was very easy.

I married, and had three children, but then my wife passed away.

Friday and I liked the easy life, but after a while, the sea started to call to us again.

参考答案

1．C

【详解】句意：他父亲在他弹钢琴时离开了家。

考查动词时态。结合题干可知，主句时态是一般过去时态，从句为while引导的时间状语从句，while从句常用进行时态，故从句时态为过去进行时态，其构成是：was/were+doing。故选C。

2．C

【详解】句意：昨天放学的时候下大雨。我们不得不待在教室里。

考查情态动词。must必须，强调主观；should应该；had to不得不，强调客观，过去式；have to不得不，强调客观，原形。根据“Yesterday it rained heavily when school was over.”可知，放学时下大雨，所以不得不待在教室里，强调客观，且时态是一般过去时，用had to。故选C。
