【題目】根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容選擇最佳答案。
If someone says to you: “give me five”, do not search your pocket to get five yuan! It will make others laugh! The person's not asking for your money, but your fingers.
In the US, "give me five" or "give me the high five" is a popular gesture (動作). You can see it often in films or on TV. It means the clapping (拍) of each other's raised right hands together.
People do it when they meet for the first time or something happy happens. For example, a student has good marks in exams or wins a lottery ticket (彩票).If a football team wins a game, the players will give high fives to everyone around to celebrate.
This gesture may come from the old Roman gesture of raising the right arm for the emperor to show respect. This also showed that the person raising his arm did not have a sword (刀) in his hand.

【解析】本文介紹了 “擊掌”這個手勢的起源,如何做出這個動作,在什么情況下會做出這個動作以及它表示的意義。

(1)推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的People do it when they meet for the first time or something happy happens. For example, a student has good marks in exams or wins a lottery ticket (彩票).If a football team wins a game, the players will give high fives to everyone around to celebrate.可知人們高興的時候或者慶祝成功的時候,會擊掌,考試得高分或者彩票中獎了會擊掌,足球比賽贏了,球員會擊掌慶祝,故推斷人們做“擊掌”這個手勢,是為了慶祝成功,故選C。

(2)細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的It means the clapping (拍) of each other's raised right hands together.可知“擊掌”這個手勢是拍手,故選B。(3)細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段的If a football team wins a game, the players will give high fives to everyone around to celebrate.可知如果一個足球隊贏了,球員們會和每個人擊掌慶祝。故選C。

(4)細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的This gesture may come from the old Roman gesture of raising the right arm for the emperor to show respect.可知“擊掌”這個手勢,可能來自羅馬舉起右胳膊向國王表示尊敬的手勢。故選A。

(5)細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的This gesture may come from the old Roman gesture of raising the right arm for the emperor to show respect.可知羅馬人舉起右胳膊是為了表示對國王的尊敬。故選C。

【題目】閱讀回答問題。
As a student, I was most afraid to answer questions in class, and I found that the students around were just like me. At the beginning of each class, when the teacher asked a question, I always lowered my head because I was afraid the teacher saw me.
One day, in a foreign language class, Mr. Black gave us a lesson. He wanted us to be active in class, so he asked us some questions, but no one answered. “Let me tell you a story first,” he said.
“When I came to the United States to study, the university often invited famous people to make speeches. Before the beginning of every speech, I found an interesting thing. The students around me always took a cardboard folded(折疊的) in half, wrote their names in bold(黑體) with the most eye-catching(引人注目的) color, and then placed the cardboard on the seat. So when the speaker needed the answers from the students, he could see it and call a listener's name directly.”
“I couldn't understand that. My classmate told me the speakers were all top people, who meant chances. When your answer was to his surprise, it meant he might give you more chances. In fact, I really saw a few students got great chances because of that.”
After listening to the story, I understood that the chance will not find you itself. You must show yourself all the time so that you can find a chance on the card.
