浙江省湖州市环渚学校2012届九年级上学期第二次联合调测英语考试试卷

根据短文内容,选择正确答案。

    As we know, there are differences between western culture and Chinese culture. We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used. Let's look at the words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example, "a homeless dog", "a mad dog", "a running dog" and "a dog catching a mouse" have negative(消极的) meanings. But in western countries, dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans. In English, people use the dog to describe positive(积极的) actions. For example, "you are a lucky dog" means you are a lucky person. And "every dog has its day" means each person has good luck sometimes. To describe a person's serious illness, they say "sick as a dog". The word "dog-tired" means very tired. However, Chinese love cats very much. But in western culture, "cat" is often used to describe a woman who is cruel(残酷的)。

    The rose is regarded as a symbol (象征) of love in both China and some western countries. People think the rose means love, peace, courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of England, America and many other countries.

    The words about plants and animals are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures. We can learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used.

(1)、"Every dog has its day." Means "__________".
A、Everybody in the world is lucky. B、Each person lives his own way of life. C、If one works hard, he's sure to succeed. D、Everybody has a time in life to be lucky.
(2)、Western people usually use "cat" to refer to "___________".
A、a tired person B、a brave man C、a homeless person D、an unkind woman
(3)、Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A、Words show differences in culture. B、Chinese people prefer dogs to cats. C、Western people think cats to be good friends. D、Rose is the national flower of all western countries.
(4)、What's the best title for the passage?
A、Negative or Positive B、Different Countries Have Different Culture C、Rose Means the Same in Chinese and English D、What Dog and Cat Mean in English and Chinese

The dragon is the fifth sign of the Chinese Zodiac (生肖). There are 12 Zodiac in Chinese culture. In fact, the Chinese dragon, also known as long, doesn't exist (存在). But Chinese people have loved it so much for {#blank#}1{#/blank#} of years.

Chinese Dragons play an {#blank#}2{#/blank#} role in Chinese culture. You can always find something about dragons when you are learning {#blank#}3{#/blank#} Chinese culture.

Emperors (皇帝) in ancient China were {#blank#}4{#/blank#} as the sons of dragons. Chinese dragons are the symbols of being lucky, {#blank#}5{#/blank#} and noble. But they are described as monsters in Western stories.

Chinese people believe dragons could control the weather. They live at the {#blank#}6{#/blank#} of seas, rivers, lakes or anywhere with water. In many {#blank#}7{#/blank#}, Chinese people perform a "dragon dance" to please the dragon king and make sure good weather and a good harvest. It was {#blank#}8{#/blank#} that a dragon helped Yandi and Huangdi open the prelude (序幕) to Chinese civilization (文明). So Chinese people call {#blank#}9{#/blank#} "descendants (子孙) of the long".

In the West, dragons also have a long history. What may be surprising, however, is that the dragons {#blank#}10{#/blank#} similar origins (起源). Both Eastern and Western records said dragons are like snakes.

Do you know which social app is popular with Chinese young people now? "Short videos" are certainly the most popular. A large number of young people use Tik Tok (抖音) and Kuaishou. They think it is fun to share their lives by short videos, while others have other purposes as well.

A t2-year-old user named Elsa has about 2. 7 million fans on Tik Tok. The girl has shared her dancing studies on Tik Tok since last July. One of the videos won her about one million tans. "I feel really glad to share happiness with people by short videos." said Elsa.

To some other young people, they use short videos to have a quick look at the hot programs. "Because I don't like to spend many hours watching a whole program, I hate waiting for a program to end, and I prefer to watch short videos of wonderful parts of hot programs," said Wang Zhihao.

However, some young people feel bored with short videos. "Killing time is the main reason for me to watch short videos, and many short videos are almost the same, so I think they are not so useful or interesting. What's more, I really don't like the videos about strange and dangerous things," said Wen Nan, another college student.

Recently, something else has appeared. Some videos are telling people what commodities are worth buying. Some short videos even sell bad commodities, and it is hard for customers to get their money back. So we should think twice before we want to buy the commodities by short videos.
