These days most people in Britain and the U. S. A. do not wear very formal clothes. But sometimes it is important to wear the right clothes.
Many British people don’t think about clothes very much. They just like to be comfortable. When they want to enjoy themselves, they can wear almost anything. At
11
theaters, cinemas and concerts you can wear whatever you like. From beautiful suits and dresses to jeans and sweaters. Anything goes as long as(只要) you look clean and tidy.
But in Britain and the U. S. A. , men in offices usually wear suits and ties, and women wear dresses or skirts(not trousers). Doctors and business people always wear quite formal clothes. And in some hotels and restaurants men have to wear ties and women have to wear tidy dresses.
In many ways, Americans are less formal than British people, but they are more careful with their clothes. At home or on holidays, most Americans wear uniforms or sports clothes. But when they go out in the evening, they like to look nice. But in good hotels and restaurants, men have to wear jackets and ties, and women wear pretty clothes.
It’s hard to say exactly what people wear in Britain and the U. S. A., because everyone is different. If you are not sure what to wear, watch first and then do the same. You’ll feel more comfortable if you don’t look too different from everyone else.

Customs on Eating
11
Food in China and western countries is different. China has about 5,000 years’ history. They may spend half of their time on food. Chinese people choose food very carefully. They only use fresh materials（新鲜的材料）to make food. For example, they only eat fresh fish. Chinese have a lot of ideas for cooking. They can cook a chicken in over ten ways. That’s why Chinese food is so popular around the world. Western countries, like England or America, don’t have fresh food because they buy their food from supermarkets which only sell stored materials (储存的材料). Western people also prefer fast food like hamburgers and chips. They are unhealthy for man’s body. Western people do not have many skills for cooking, mostly they only boil, steam (蒸) and bake the food. By the way, western people are very good at making desserts and chocolate. They can make very good cakes and chocolate. These food are very sweet and they can make you become fat quickly.
In China, the person who invites other people for meal would pay for the meal, but it’s not the same way in western countries. In western countries, people will think you only invite them but don’t need to pay for them. They can afford it. They won’t be happy if you pay for them. In western countries like America or England, people will always give tips (小费) to the waiter after they finish the meal in a restaurant. If you don’t, the waiter will not be happy. In China this only happens in some top restaurants and hotels in large cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou.
Another difference in eating is that: Chinese people use chopsticks and western people use knives and forks.
Chinese people only have three meals during a day. But western people may have more. They usually have afternoon tea when they would have fruit, cakes or biscuits with cheese (奶酪饼干).

Having a cheetah（猎豹）as a pet in the house? Does it sound scary to you? But for a family in South Africa, one cheetah is treated as a VIP (Very Important Person) in the house.
The big cheetah is named Jolie, after the film star Angelina Jolie. 1 She can often be found eating from the kitchen table, taking a short sleep on the sofa, or even sleeping on Lucy and Jeff’s bed. The big cat also sleeps and plays with the Browns’ other pet, the more usual one — a sheepdog (牧羊犬). 2
Having a cheetah as a pet is unusual. At first, Mrs. Brown wasn’t willing to keep a cheetah as a pet. She said, “ 3 But we are now happy that we did it — she is part of the family.”
Just like her name, four-year-old Jolie has achieved a celebrity status (名人地位) in the Browns’ hometown. Fans often come to their home to take pictures of her. 4
However, a cheetah is always a cheetah. 5 “She makes a lot of mess in the house, urinating (小便) everywhere and chewing everything. It’s her wild instincts (本能),” said Mrs. Brown.
There might be some problems of having a cheetah as a pet in the house, but some unusual fun must also be waiting ahead.

答案与解析：
Ⅰ. 单项选择。
1. A。句意：John没有放弃寻找工作，直到他被一家德国公司聘用。本题考查连词。not…unit…直到……才，根据句意可知答案为A项。
2. D。句意：——昨天晚上我打电话给你了，但是没有人接听，——哦，那时候我正在做饭，本题考查动词时态，即：过去进行时，当时正在做饭，表示正在做的事，所以用D。
3. A。句意：——我可以带一位朋友参加你的生日聚会吗？——当然，没问题。本题考查情景交际。 no problem没问题；not at all 没关系 ( 回答“感谢”和“对不起”)；my pleasure 我的荣幸（回答感谢）；well done 干得好(回答鼓励)。本题容易误选my pleasure,注意它的固定用法，即对感谢的回答。故选A。
4. C。考查if的用法。第一个if引导宾语从句，意为“是否”，这句话的意思是“Ted
有没有告诉你他下周是否会回来?”第二个if引导条件状语从句，主句常用一般将来时，从句用一般现在时，这里的意思是“如果他来，我会告诉你”。故选C。
5. B。考查副词的比较等级。句中含有表示范围的介词短语in our class，应用最高级形式。故选B。
6. C。考查help yourself to sth. 的用法。句中有children，用复数形式。故选C。
7. A。考查介词for的用法，for后接动名词形式。故选A。
8. A。考查情景交际。句意为“顺便说一下，Robert把他最美好的祝福送给你。”对于别人的祝愿应该表示感谢。但C的主语是you，不合题意，应该是相对于“他”来说。All
11
right. 意为“好，行”；It’s great. 意为“太棒了”。故选A。
9. D。考查avoid的固定用法。avoid doing sth. 意为“避免做某事”。故选D。

12. B。look forward to(prep. )+n. /pron. /v. -ing意为“期望(做)……”。故选B。
13. C。考查形式主语的用法。It’s + adj. + to do sth. 中it是形式主语，to do sth. 是真正的主语。故选C。
14. D。考查There be句型的一般将来时。 There be的一般将来时有There will be， There is/are going to be两种表达方式。next Wednesday 意为“下周三”，作一般将来时的状语。故选D。

II. 完形填空。
1. D。as表示“作为”，句意为“一些人把读报作为早上要做的第一件事”。

参考范文：
Dear Wei Jun,
11
I am very excited to receive your e-mail. I am interested in your questions.
There are many rivers in our city. Ming Jiang River is one of the longest rivers. But the water in the river isn’t as clean as before. This is because people cut the trees down a lot. As we know, trees can keep the water much cleaner. On March 12th, we often plant some trees on the hills. More and more trees are growing. I think the water is becoming cleaner and cleaner.
Looking forward to meeting you soon.
Yours,
Li Zhi
