Ⅱ.阅读理解
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
Everyone loves receiving gifts, and in all
cultures, gifts are a way to show care and love. However, the traditions of gifts are not the same in different countries.
As a European living in China, I’ve seen some interesting differences. For example, while fruit and milk are common gifts here, in my culture, they might be a better choice when you are visiting someone in hospital.
When you get invited to a dinner party in Europe, a bottle of fine wine is also a good gift. Still, it’s best to check if your hosts drink alcohol.
Many Europeans usually open their gifts right away, except in places like Germany. It’s also important to take off the price tag.
What if you don’t like your gift? In Spain, you still need to say you love the gift to avoid hurting the other person’s feelings. But if they leave the receipt inside the gift, which is a very common practice in Spain, you can just exchange it for something else.
Regifting(礼物转送) is another good idea, as long as the gift looks new. Jennifer Molski from Chicago, America has turned regifting into a nice project, collecting gifts people didn’t want for those in need.
How the gift looks is also important. However, by using wrapping paper for every gift we buy, we produce a lot of waste. Germans value high-quality wrapping paper, but many are now choosing newspapers or maps to help the environment.
Last but not least, remember: It’s the thought that counts, not the size or the cost of the gift.
()11. Which of the following is NOT true about European gift rules?
A. Fruit and milk might be a better choice when Europeans visit someone in hospital.
B. A bottle of fine wine is a good gift when you get invited to a dinner party in Europe.
C. Many Europeans such as Germans will usually open their gifts right away.
D. Many Germans use high-quality wrapping paper for gifts.
()12. What does the underlined word “receipt” mean in Chinese in Paragraph 5?
A.收据 B.钱包 C.购物卡 D.说明书
()13. How are Germans changing their habits of wrapping gifts?
A. By using more colourful tags than paper.
B. By choosing newspapers or maps to help the environment.
C. By not using wrapping paper.
D. By using expensive wrapping paper.
