四川省乐山市2018年中考英语试卷

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的几个选项中,选出最佳选项。

B

    When was the last time you gave or received a hug? Do your parents hug you before you go to school? In Western countries, it is quite common to greet close friends or relatives with a hug.

    You might hug your teammates after winning a basketball game. If one of your friends is having a bad day, you can hug them to cheer them up. Friends who haven't seen each other for a long time will usually hug each other when meeting.

    Of course, people in different countries have different opinions when it comes to hugging. After coming to China, I've noticed that people are generally more reluctant (不情愿的) to hug than they are in my home country, the US.

    My Chinese friends told me that hugging is considered to be very intimate (亲密的) in their culture. It usually only happens between people who are really close to each other, like couples. Chinese people don't usually hug in public, either.

    But people's attitudes (态度) towards hugging can also change. I remember watching a video story about a “hugging party” that was held in Shanghai. A local artist held the party, inviting strangers and asking them to hug each other.

    The Chinese participants (参与者) clearly looked uncomfortable. However, after the party, several of them changed their minds. They decided that hugging doesn't have to be awkward (尴尬的) and can actually be quite nice. So next time you see your mom or dad, give them a hug –see how it makes you feel.

(1)、What usually happens between good friends when meeting in Western countries?
A、Hugging. B、Nodding. C、Shaking hands.
(2)、The second paragraph tells us ______.
A、the advantages of hugging each other B、some situations in which people hug each other C、the reasons why friends need to hug each other
(3)、In Chinese culture, hugs usually happen between ______.
A、friends B、classmates C、couples
(4)、What did people do at the “hugging party”?
A、They were invited to hug each other. B、They watched a video about hugging. C、They told stories about hugging.
(5)、The writer wrote the last paragraph to ______.
A、encourage people to be nice to strangers B、explain why people feel uncomfortable while hugging C、show how people can change their minds about hugging

"Have you checked the oil in the car?" My father used to say to me. "Hello, hope you are well." Sometimes our phone calls would begin with a question about the oil and end with a question about the oil, with not a lot in between.

Fathers have a lot of love to give, but it's often supplied through the medium (方法) of practical advice. In my experience: It's mostly about my car.

"How's the car running?" "Did you get it serviced?" "How did you get that scrape (刮痕) on the side?"

Why can't fathers just say "I love you" or "It's great to see you"? The point is: That's exactly what we are saying. You just have to translate from the language that is Fatherlish.

The words "You made my life better from the moment you were born" may be hardly heard, but the key is there in the more common "I'll hold the ladder while you get the leaves out of the gutter (排水沟)."

When I was 17, I went on my first road trip—a friend and I in that old car. My father stood on the corner early on a cold morning to say goodbye to us.

"Highways are dangerous," he said, "so don't try to catch up with anything faster than a horse. And take a break every two hours. And every time you stop for gas, you really should check the oil."

At the time we thought his speech was pretty funny and would chant "car and horse, car and horse" every time I drove faster and passed other speeding cars.

Dad's long gone now. But after all these years, I realize that had I owned a copy of the Fatherlish-to-English dictionary, I'd have understood that the speech my friend and I so casually mocked (嘲笑) was simply Dad's attempt at affection.

Italki is a website where you can ask questions about any language you want and get answers from native speakers and other language learners from around the world. You can also teach others about your own native language. The following posts are about English learning.

Hello, everyone! I can't speak English well, although I know lots of words and grammar. What can I do?

I think you should listen to English TV shows, movies and radios as much as possible. And try to repeat what you hear. I hope my advice helps.

I used to have the same problem, but I feel comfortable speaking English now. I totally agree with Paul. I improve my spoken English by communicating with others. It's helpful and fun.

Speaking a language is a skill, like learning to swim. To be a good swimmer, you need to practice swimming. You can't just study the rules of swimming. It's the same with speaking English. No matter how much you study grammar and vocabulary, if you don't practice, it's very difficult to get good at it.
