Question

根据短文后所给的任务，完成71~75小题。

When two people meet, there are a lot    A     ways of greeting. But the ways of greeting are not always the   B    in different countries.

Two people usually greet each other with a handshake in America. ①the, a, person, to, way, respect, it, to, other, show, is. Players from opposite teams shake hands before a game for the same reason. However, most Americans don’t shake hands when they meet people they have already known well. When American friends meet each other, they might only wave(挥手), or maybe just nod their heads.

There is a special way of greeting called “Hongi(鼻触礼)” in New Zealand. In the greeting, two people press their noses and foreheads(前额) together and close their eyes. This is an old tradition that comes from the Maori(毛利人), who were the first people to live in New Zealand. Even today, many New Zealanders still press their foreheads when they meet.

②People bow to each other every time when they meet in Japan. Even family members bow to each other. People decide how low to bow depending on how respected the other person is.

Today, new ways of greeting are created all the time. People can do this with a quick “hi”, a handshake, or even a simple smile. The important thing is that the people they are greeting understand them.

Answer

1.of same

2.It is a way to show respect to the other person.

3.在日本，人们每次见面时都会互相鞠躬。

4.Three. / 3.

5.Different ways of greeting

【解析】见面时不同的国家有不同的问候方式。在美国，两个人通常握手致意，在新西兰有一种特殊的打招呼的方式称为“鼻触礼”，每次日本人见面时都互相鞠躬。

1.a lot of= many/much，修饰可数名词或不可数名词。因此A处填写of；通过转折连词but判断，the same与different形成对比，不同的国家问候的方式也不一样，因此B处填写same。

2.句意：这是一种尊重他人的方式。此句用到的句型为：It’s + 名词 + to do sth.

3.在日本，人们每次见面时都会互相鞠躬。此句是when引导的时间状语从句。

4.短文提到了三个国家：美国，新西兰和日本。故答案为Three. / 3.

5.短文主要介绍了不同的国家有不同的问候方式。Different ways of greeting
