6.Americans think time is money.They say,"You only get so much time in this life; you'd better use it (61)wisely(wise)."Americans (62)are trained(train) to use their time for constructive activities,(63)soAmericans admire a"well-organized"person,(64)whohas a written list of things to do and a schedule for doing them.They do not waste people's time with conversations or other activities that have no visible beneficial result.
The American attitude (65)to/toward(s)time is not necessarily shared by others,especially non-Europeans.Non-Europeans are more likely(66)to regard(regard) time as something that is simply there around them,(67)not/rather than/instead ofsomething of great value.In this background,the fast food industry can be seen as a clear example of American cultural product.McDonald's,KFC,and other fast food(68)companies(company) are successful in a country where many people want to spend the(69)least(little) amount of time preparing and eating meals.As McDonald's restaurants spread around the world,they have been viewed as symbols of American society and culture,(70)bringing(bring) not just hamburgers but speed,efficiency(效率),and shiny cleanliness.

分析 美国人认为时间就是金钱,他们说,"你这一生中只有那么些时间;你最好明智地加以运用."由于美国人被训练使用时间来进行建设性的活动.所以美国人欣赏"有条理"的人,这些人有一份要做事情的清单以及来完成这些事情的时间安排表.他们不会在交谈上或是在其他不见效益的活动上浪费大家的时间.
美国人对待时间的态度未必适用于其他人,尤其非欧洲人.非欧洲人很可能认为时间无处不在,没有利用价值.在这种背景下,快餐业可以看作是美国文化产物的一个明显的例子.麦当劳、肯德基以及其他快餐店在一个国家很受欢迎,因为这个国家的人们想把最少量的时间放在做饭和吃饭上.随着麦当劳餐厅传播到世界各地,它们已经被视为美国社会与文化的象征,所带来的不仅仅是汉堡包,而是速度,效率和洁净.

解答 答案:
61.wisely       考查副词   此处用来修饰动词use,意为:明智地运用;故填副词wisely
62.are trained     考查语态及时态     此处在句中作谓语,由于动词train与主语Americans 构成被动关系,故应使用被动语态;根据上文可知,这里讲述的是美国人目前的时间观念以及具体的做法,所以此处应使用一般现在时态;故填are trained   
63.so    考查连词      此处的前后两句之间表达的是因果关系;意为:因为美国人被训练来使用时间进行建设性的活动.所以美国人欣赏"有条理"的人;故填so
64.who     考查关系代词   根据句意以及空缺处之前的逗号可知,本句是非限定性的定语从句;由于先行词person(指人)在从句中作主语,故填关系代词who
65.to/toward(s)   考查介词    此处表示指向性,意为:美国人对待时间的态度;故填介词to/toward(s) 
66.to regard       考查固定结构"be more likely to do sth"意为:很可能做某事;故填to regard      
67.not/rather than/instead of    本句的意思是:非欧洲人很可能认为时间无处不在,没有利用价值;此处表达了否定的含义;故填  not/rather than/instead of    
68.companies   考查名词   此处指的是其他的一些快餐公司、企业;故用名词的复数形式 companies
69.least   考查形容词的最高级   此处用在定冠词the之后,修饰名词time;意为:最少量的时间;故填least 
70.bringing   考查现在分词    此处在句中作伴随状语,由于动词bring与其逻辑主语McDonald's restaurants 构成主谓关系;指的是:麦当劳餐厅所带来的不仅仅是汉堡包;故填bringing

点评 本题主要考查了各种语法在短文中的具体运用.做本题时,需要在正确理解短文的前提下,逐句分析句意以及所考查到的语法现象;因此在平时的学习中,应熟练掌握各种语法知识,其中包括词法,句法,各种时态语态以及虚拟语气等.

8.Land Art,sometimes referred to as Earth Art or Earthworks,is a form of art which involves using physical landscapes to create art,taking art out of the museum and into the outside world.Modern Land Art movement really got going in the 1960s,when American artists began creating Land Art on a large scale.Today,works of modern Land Art can be seen all over the world,sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago.
    Land Art,which is not necessarily unchangeable,can take a number of forms.For example,in 1970 Robert Smithson created the Spiral Jetty (螺旋状防波堤),made of a collection of stones and mud,in the Great Salt Lake.The American artist made a large jetty in a spiral shape which sticks out into the waters of the lake.
    Reshaping the landscape is a common characteristic of Land Art,which can be created by moving parts around.People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art,like salt,which is added to the Spiral Jetty.It is possible to use plants.In all cases,Land Art is immovable.
    Land Art is designed to gradually form,change,and eventually decay(衰落).That's one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums.Some works of art can exist only for a few hours or days.Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they develop and decay over time,which is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artists.
28.What can be learned from the first paragraph?D
A.Land Art was the most popular art in the 1960s.
B.Land Art aims to get people interested in nature.
C.American artists were the first to create Land Art.

29.What do we know about Robert Smithson?A
A.He is a great creative artist.
B.He lives near the Great Salt Lake.
C.He made the most famous Land Art.
D.He was a pioneer in creating Land Art.
30.One of the unique characteristics of Land Art lies inB.
A.it shows the extreme beauty of nature
B.it develops and decays gradually over time
C.it combines the landscapes around completely
D.it offers the artists a chance to get close to nature
31.What is the passage mainly about?D
A.Works of Land Art.
B.History of Land Art.

D.Introduction of Land Art.

1.A.Track Your Page Count
B.Keep a Record of Your Time
C.Team Up and Read Socially
D.Take Advantage of Technology
E.Set a Goal to Encourage Yourself
F.Treat Yourself in One Way or Another

How to Train Yourself to Read More
Between work,a social life,your family,television and the Internet,it can be difficult to find time to read more.Reading is important,however,for a range of reasons:It improves cognitive (认知) ability,enriches vocabulary,helps with spelling and increases general knowledge.Just having an intention to read more won't guarantee you actually do it,though.You need a series of strategies,exploring a way to train yourself to read more.
61.B
You don't need expensive training programs or software to train to read more; all you really need is a timer.Consider how much free time you have in a day,then set aside part of that time for reading.Make sure this is a feasible (可行的) goal--start small,say,30minutes.Each day,use your timer and read for the amount of time you set.After a week,increase your time.The increase doesn't have to be much,perhaps an additional 15minutes.As weeks go by,continue adding the same small amount to your reading time.Before you know it,you'll be reading for two or three hours per day.
62.A
Before you begin training to read more,take a week or two to measure how many pages you read on average per week.Once you've gotten an idea of your baseline reading amount,increase it slowly.Try to read at least an additional 5-10pages per week.You'll probably be able to sneak these pages into your normal schedule without too much effort.You could,for example,read when you find yourself waiting or during meals if you're alone.Or you could try turning off the television a little earlier each day.Keep track of how many pages you've read each week so you can see your progress.
63.D
Technology doesn't have to be the enemy of the written word; in fact,you can make use of your electronic devices.Invest in an e-reader,if you can,or use a tablet to read books.This will save you having to carry around a heavy book,and because you can put multiple books on an e-reader or tablet,you'll always have plenty to read.You can also load books onto your smart phone so that you can read when you have a few spare minutes.
64.F
Although you might begin training to read more with excitement or enthusiasm,these can quickly disappear if you don't devise a method of rewarding or motivating yourself.These rewards don't have to be large or expensive.You could reward yourself with something,such as chocolate or a small gift,each time you hit a reading goal,whether this is number of pages or amount of reading time.Or,if you're feeling charitable (有善心),donate a small sum of money to your favorite cause each time you hit your goal.
65.C
Reading is mainly an individual activity,but there are social sides you can tap into to keep you motivated to read more.Join a local book club,and if your library or town doesn't have one,start your own.Share with other book lovers or learn more about your favorite books by joining sites such as Goodreads,PaperBack Swap or BookLamp,if you decide to participate in websites for book enthusiasts.However,be sure that your reading time isn't eaten up by surfing the Internet.
