    The epidemic(疫情)has changed our lives. It not only forces us to stay at home, but also changes the way we work, study, and even go shopping. In many countries, the Novel Corona Virus Disease(COVID-19)has also changed the way people greet each other. To help stop the spread of disease, people give up their usual greeting styles and invent safe ways. Let's take a look!

Lean forward, touch cheeks(脸颊)and make a kissing sound. This is French people's favorite way of greeting. It's very romantic. But when facing the virus, kisses are not good. Etiquette expert(礼仪专家)Philippe Lichtfus gives people a suggestion: simply looking into a person's eyes can be a greeting. It's not so romantic but it's safe.

Like the French, Italians are also romantic people. When they meet, they always hug or kiss each other. Recently, an Italian grandma made a video to help everyone fight against the disease.

She says that if you meet, you can close one of your eyes and give them a wink. Isn't it cute?

It's a very Australian thing to shake hands. But if you do this, the virus can jump from one person to another. Now a health official in Australia says a pat on the back would be better. But it also has some problems. For example, it's a bit crude if you do this to your teachers.

A video shows that an interesting greeting way is now popular in Iran. In the video, 3 Iranians meet and tap their feet against each other. They wear masks with their hands in their pockets. It looks like they are playing a fun game. If we can't shake hands, why not try to "shake" feet?

1.Why do people give up their usual greeting styles nowadays?

A.To make life more interesting. B.To change their study way.

C.To protect themselves from the disease. D.To invent some new things.

2.What does French people's favorite greeting way include?

Make a kissing sound.

Give a tap on the back.

Look into a person's eyes.

A.①②⑥ B.③④⑥ C.①③⑤ D.②④⑥

3.What's the Italian grandma's suggestion to greet others?

A. B. C. D.

4.What does the underlined word "crude" in Paragraph 4 mean?

A.unlucky B.unhappy C.impatient D.impolite

5.In which country is "shaking feet" a popular way to greet cach other now?

A.Iran. B.France. C.Australia. D.Italy.

 

1.C 2.C 3.B 4.D 5.A 【解析】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在新冠肺炎疫情期间不同国家人们的社交问候方式的改变。 1. 细节理解题。根据文中第一段“To help stop the spread of disease, people give up their usual greeting styles...”可知为了阻止疾病的传播,人们放弃了通常的问候方式。故选C。 2. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Lean forward, touch cheeks(脸颊)and make a kissing sound. This is French people's favorite way of greeting.”可知身体前倾,触摸脸颊,发出亲吻的声音。这是法国人最喜欢的问候方式。根据题干内容,故选C。 3. 细节理解题。根据文中第三段“an Italian grandma made a video to help everyone fight against the disease. She says that if you meet, you can close one of your eyes and give them a wink.”可知一位意大利奶奶制作了一段视频来帮助大家对抗疾病。她说如果你要打招呼,你可以闭上你的一只眼睛眨眨眼。结合题干图片,故选B。 4. 词义猜测题。根据文中第五段“ Now a health official in Australia says a pat on the back would be better. But it also has some problems.”可知现在澳大利亚的一位卫生官员说,轻拍后背会更好。但也有一些问题。后面举例说明了如果这样对你的老师会有点粗鲁。可见轻拍老师后背,会不礼貌。故选D。 5. 细节理解题。根据文中最后一段“A video shows that an interesting greeting way is now popular in Iran. In the video, 3 Iranians meet and tap their feet against each other.”可知在伊朗,他们的脚互相轻拍是现在双方互相问候的方式。故选A。
