　　The basic flag of the United States is one of the world‘s oldest national flags. Only the basic flags of Austria, Denmark, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzerland are older.

　　During the discovery and settlement of what is now the United States, the flags of various European nations were flown over the land, as symbols of possession. Later, in the Colonial and Revolutionary War periods, flags representing famous persons, places, and events were flown in the American Colonies.

　　The first official flag of the United States was created by Congress on June 14,1777, It consisted of 13 alternate red an white stripes and 13 white stars in a field of blue, representing the 13 colonies that had declared their independence in 1776. Congress adopted a new flag of 15 stars and 15 stripes in 1795 to give representation to the two new states admitted into the Union, Vermont and Kentucky.

　　By 1817, there were 20 states in the Union, and it became apparent that adding one stripe for each new state would destroy the shape of the flag. As a result, Congress in 1818 restored the original design of 13 stripes and provided that each state was to be represented by one star. In 1912 President William H. Taft made the first official provision for the arrangement of the stars. He ordered that there be six even rows of eight stars each. Previously the arrangement of the stars had been left to the flag-maker‘s fancy.

　　The evolution of the Stars and Stripes reflects the growth of the United States. After the admission of Hawaii into the Union in 1959, the flag was officially changed for the 26th times since its creation. There are many government flags flown in the United States in addition to the

　　national flag. Among them are the president‘s and vice-president‘s flags and those of the federal departments and some federal agencies. Each state in the Union has an official flag. The Unitedd States Navy uses special flags for signaling. 1.The basic flag of the United States is______.

　　A. the oldest national flag in the world. B. one of the world‘s oldest flags. C. the most beautiful flag in the West.

　　A. before the Independence War B. right after the Independence War

　　C. when independence was declared in 1776

　　D. during the War of Independence which ended in 1783

　　A. 13 independent states

　　B. the colonies that declared independence in 1776 C. the U.S. Congress

　　D. 13 famous figures in the American colonies

　　4.Why was the original design of 13 stripes restored in 1818?

　　A. Too many stripes would destroy the shape of the flag. B. Congress insisted 13 is the best number.

　　C. That was a decision President Taft had made. D. The American people suggested it.

　　Dinner customs are different around the world. If you are a dinner guest in Ghana, this information will help you a lot.

　　In Ghana dinner is usually from four in the afternoon to six in the evening. But there are no strict rules about time. Whenever a guest arrives, a family offers food. When you go to a home, the person who

　　receives guests takes you to the living room first. At this time everyone welcomes you. Then you go to the dining room. There you wash your hands in a bowl of water. All the food is on the table.

　　In Ghana you usually eat with your fingers. You eat from the same dish as everyone else. But you eat from one side of the dish only. It is not polite to get food from the other side of the dish. After dinner, you wash your hands again in a bowl of water.

　　Most meals in Ghana have a dish called fufu. People in Ghana make fufu from the powder of some plants. Sometimes they cut the fufu with a saw because it is very hard. You must chew fufu well, or you may get sick. You eat fufu with the fingers of your right hand only. 41. From the passage we know that in Ghana _____.

　　A. the rules for dinner time are not strict B. dinner is always at six in the evening

　　C. a family offers food only at four in the afternoon D. people usually invite their guests to dinner later in the evening

　　答案为A。此句为推理题。将1n Ghana dinner is usually from four in the afternoon to six in the evening.But there are no strict rules about time.Whenever a guest arrives，a family offers food.这两句

　　内容综合一下。就是：只要在下午4点至晚上6点，都是吃饭的时间：在这期间，客人什么时候来就什么时候吃。因此选项A是正确答案。

　　42. If you are a dinger guest in Ghana ,the host(主人)always takes you to _____. A. the dining room first B. the living room first C. the kitchen first D. the garden first

　　答案为B。此句为细节推理题。比较原文When you go to a home，the person who receives guests takes you to the living room first选项B的内容只是多了一个first，而这使不使用是一样的`，因为客人一进来，主人就带你去lliving room，因此first不说也知道。

　　43. People in Ghana usually eat _____.

　　A. from one side of a dish to the other B. from the other side of the dish C. with their fingers D. with their spoons

　　答案为C。此句为细节题。从选项的内容看，只有选项C与短文中的In Ghana you usually eat with your fingers.这句话的意思一样。

　　44. In fact, most dishes in Ghana _____.

　　A. are cooked with the powder of some plants B. have fufu in them C. are too hard to eat D. are very hard

　　答案为D。此句为细节推理题。本题是根据Most Meals in Ghana have a dish called fufu.it is very hard.这几句话的内容综合得出的，要用saw来锯开fufu 吃。可想而知是很hard的。

　　45. When you eat fufu, you’d better _____.

　　A. cut it with a saw B. use your right hand only C. chew it well D. all of the above

　　答案为D。此句为细节推理题。细读最后You must chew fufu well. or you may get sick.You eat fufu with the fingers of your right hand only.这几句话，就会发现选项A、B和C均在此句的意思中，因此选项D是正确答案。
