　　Module2 Traffic Jam

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解

　　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　A

　　(2017·高考浙江卷)Here is some must－know information from a handbook on how people behave in doing business in some countries.

　　In Brazil

　　Brazilians are warm and friendly.They often stand close when talking and it is common for them to touch the person on the shoulder.People often greet each other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses.Schedules tend to be flexible，with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned.But to be safe，be on time.Meals can stretch for hours—there's no such thing as rushing a meal in Brazil.Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon.Brazilians are social，preferring face－to－face communication over emails or phone calls.

　　In Singapore

　　Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each other with a small，polite bow.Business cards should be offered and received with two hands.Arriving late is considered disrespectful.So be on time.Efficiency (效率) is the goal，so meetings and dealings often are fast－paced.Singaporeans are direct in their discussions，even when the subject is about money.Rank is important and authority is respected.This determines how people interact in meetings.For example，people avoid disagreeing outright with someone of a higher rank.

　　In the United Arab Emirates

　　In the UAE，status is important，so the most senior or oldest should be greeted first with their titles.The handshake seems to be longer than elsewhere.So do not pull away from the handshake.Women should cover themselves when it comes to dress.Men also tend to be covered from neck to elbows (肘部) and down to the knees.People do not avoid entertaining in their homes，but they also hold business meals at restaurants.Touching or passing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided.When meetings are one－to－one，if your host offers you coffee，you should refuse.It might seem odd，but it is a cultural tradition.Coffee should only be accepted if it is already set out or presented.

　　In Switzerland

　　The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name.They also are respectful of private lives.You should be careful not to ask about personal topics.Punctuality(守时) is vital，something that comes from a deep respect for others' time.Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early to be safe.They also have clear structure in their companies.Higher－ups make the final decisions，even if others might disagree.Neat，clean dress is expected.The Swiss follow formal table manners.They also keep their hands visible at the table and their elbows off the table.It is polite to finish the food on your plate.

　　IT was once a hidden gem(宝石)，overshadowed(被……比下去) by its more famous neighbors to the west.But Prague couldn't keep its wonders a secret for too long.When winter comes，said CNN，the city could just show you that it is one of the greatest places in the world.

　　Prague，heart and soul of the Czech Republic，was chosen by CNN on Nov 26 as the No 1 city for a winter vacation this year.“With its snow－capped spires(白雪覆盖的尖顶)and winding(蜿蜒的) streets，Prague is a fairy tale city，”the network commented.According to CNN，one of the most beautiful areas is the old town，where “the architecture(建筑) looks even prettier under a sheet of snow”．

　　The beauty of the Old Town Square is described by The Huffington Post：“It's like stepping inside a fairy tale picture book.The square seems especially huge because of the contrast(对比) with the narrow(狭窄的) streets leading into it.”However，the size alone is not what makes the square so impressive—the great architecture around the space plays a key role.“Standouts(突出的建筑) are the Old Town Hall，with the world's oldest working astronomical clock(天文钟) on its tower，”noted the newspaper.

　　Created in 1410，the clock displays a show of history every hour.On the hour，it breaks out 12 apostles(耶稣使徒) and figures(形象) that used to represent evil(邪恶的) qualities such as Death，Avarice and Vanity.

　　But it is not just the old town area where you can see great architectural works.In Prague，medieval(中世纪的) churches and palaces have been used as sites for art museums.

　　The city has seen writer Franz Kafka and composer Mozart at work.And now you can rediscover this history in pretty buildings along the Vltava River.That river is also home to another masterpiece(杰作)：Charles Bridge.It links the old town with Prague Castle，the world's largest ancient castle.

　　“In its history，Prague has withstood(经受) numerous invasions(入侵)，fires and floods.It's this reputation for survival(幸存) and perseverance(坚持) that has made the Czech capital so fascinating，”said US News & World Report.

　　6．What does the underlined word “fascinating” mean in the last paragraph?

　　A．Historic.B．Attractive.

　　C．Powerful.

　　D．Welcoming.

　　解析：选B。词义猜测题。由文中最后一段“fascinating”的语境可知意思是“迷人的，吸引人的……”故选B项。

　　7．What aspects of Prague are mentioned in the article?

　　a．history

　　b．economics

　　c．architecture

　　d．famous people

　　e．typical food

　　A．abc

　　答案：Only

　　5．解析：考查词性转换。本空需要填名词，与前面的名词shock并列，作介词in的宾语。
