II.阅读理解
　In 2014, Chinese skater Wu Dajing introduced himself to the skating world by winning a silver medal at the Sochi Olympic Games. At the 2018 Pyeong Chang Olympics, Wu not only returned, but also made history.
　　On Feb. 22nd, 2018, Wu won the gold medal in the men’s short-track 500-metre race. He set a new world record with a time of 39.584 seconds. He also became the first Chinese man to take home an Olympic short-track gold medal. BBC said Wu’s win was “flawless”, because he was much faster than all of the other skaters.
　　“I didn’t give them a chance and I kept my speed from the start,” he told the media after the match.
　　But China’s short-track teams didn’t do well in general at the Games. Chinese skaters in the women’s 500 meters, 3,000-metre relay and men’s 15,000 meters all failed to take home the gold. Wu was China’s biggest hope, which put a lot of pressure on him. But he proved himself with his great performance.
　　Wu is now known as a highly talented skater. But things were not always that way. When Wu joined the national team in 2010, he was seen as almost “nothing” compared to gifted skaters like Zhou Yang and Fan Kexin, as his coaches said at that time. Their comments made him quite upset. But as the saying goes, “Winners never quit and quitters never win”. Wu didn’t want to give up and worked as hard as he could. He practiced skating all year round. He even didn’t return to his hometown for the holidays for 10 years. “I believe in myself,” he told the media after his match at the Olympics.

答案：
I.【主旨大意】本文是一篇说明文，讲述了在不同的国家有不同的问候方式，有的是握手，有的是吻脸颊。
1. C 由more common可知是做比较。在一些地区比另外一些地区更常见。
2. B “遇到一位信新人或好久不见的人”说的是各种情况，因此用situation“情况”。
3. B  主语是handshakes与use是被动关系，所以应用被动语态。
4. C  根据前后句意“一个人握住手”和“手掌心合在一起”前后是目的关系，且后半句是句子，所以用so that引导目的状语从句。
5. D  根据后半句“bending at the waist弯曲腰部”的解释，可知是“鞠躬”。
6. C  一个女人亲吻另一个女人的面颊应该是“轻轻地”，其他选项意思不符合习惯与常识。
7.A  在一些地方，男人也“可以”这样，但是不常见。指亲吻面颊。
8. B  根据上句中的的common和本句中的too，可推知本句表达的是“亲吻面颊在世界其他一些地方也很常见”。
9. D  根据后半句one kiss on each cheek可知是亲吻两次。
10. C  由hard or可知后面形容词与hard是反义词，而本句中的hard handshake是指有力的握手，因此相对应的soft“温柔的，温和的”。
