Can you imagine your parents choosing your husband or wife for you? And can you imagine not setting eyes on him or her until your wedding day? This situation is common in India, the Middle East and many parts of Africa, 【1】 We don't realize t hat people in other places often get married in very different ways ---and with different motives(动机).

2 A marriage provides a safe and stable home for the husband and wife.It also joins children, making sure the couple will be taken care of in old age.Because a marriage is important for the whole family, some cultures don't let young people choose whom to marry.

Just as there are many different reasons for marriage, there are also many different wedding rituals(仪式),3 In a typical Western wedding, the bride seeks good luck by wearing “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.” Something old represents the past.Something new represents success in the future.Something borrowed reminds the bride she can get help from her friends and family.4

In Poland, one wedding tradition is not only lucky, but also very practical.The wedding guests pin money to the bride's dress while she is dancing.Th e money is meant to bring luck and to help the young couple build their new life.In Bermuda, the young couple plants a tree in the yard of their new home.Once they move in, they take good care of the tree , making it grow and blossom.The planting of the tree is a good metaphor(隐喻) for/span> marriage.5

A.Every culture has its own ways of bringing good luck to the happy couple.

B.A truly good marriage is something that grows with care.

C.In the United States, parents do not arrange marriages for their children.

D.And something blue reminds her to be true to her husband.

【解析】

试题分析:世界上的婚姻习惯经常不同我们自己的。婚姻为丈夫和妻子提供了一个安全、稳定的家庭。一个真正好的婚姻需要双方细心的经营。

【1】E根据上一句:这种情况在印度、中东和很多非洲的地方常见。下句:我们没有意识到在其他地方的人们以很多不同的方式和不同的动机结婚。因此可知在空格上表达的意思是:世界上的婚姻习惯经常不同我们自己的。故选E。

【2】F根据下一句:婚姻为丈夫和妻子提供了一个安全、稳定的家庭。可知此处表达的意思是:在很多国家,婚姻是一个实际问题。故选F。

【3】A根据下句:在典型的西方婚礼上,新娘寻求好运穿“一点旧的,一点新的,一点借来的和蓝色的东西。可知空格上填的是:每种文化都有给幸福夫妇带来好运的方法。因此可知选A。

【4】D根据上句:一些借来的东西提醒新娘她能得到来自她的朋友和家庭的帮助。可知空格上表达的意思是:蓝色的东西提醒她忠于她的丈夫。故选D。

【5】B根据上句:树的种植对婚姻来说是一个好的隐喻。因此可知此处表达的意思是:一个真正好的婚姻要细心地生长。故选B。

【题目】On June 17, 1774, the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the Six Nations. The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In a letter the next day they refused the offer as follows:

We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced that you mean to do us good by your proposal; and we thank you heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be offended if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the college of the northern provinces: they were taught all your sciences; but when they came back to us, they were bad manners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods they were totally good for nothing.

We are, however, not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them all we know, and make men of them.

【1】The passage is about ____.

A. the talk between the Indians and the officials

B. the colleges of the northern provinces

C. the educational values of the Indians

D. the problems of the Americans in the mid-eighteen century

【2】The Indian chief’s purpose of writing the letter seems to be to ____.

A. express their opinions on equal treatment

B. politely refuse a friendly offer

C. show their pride

D. describe Indian customs

【3】According to the letter, the Indians believed that ____.

A. it would be better for their boys to receive some schooling

B. they were being insulted by the offer

C. they knew more about science than the officials

D. they had better way of educating young men

【4】Different from the officials’ view of education, the Indians thought ____.

A. young women should also be educated

【题目】Some people will do just about anything to save money. And I am one of them. Take my family’s last vacation. It was my six-year-old son’s winter break form school, and we were heading home from Fort Lauderdale after a weeklong trip. The flight was overbooked, and Delta, the airline, offered us $400 per person in credits to give up our seats and leave the next day. I had meetings in New York,So I had to get back. But that didn't mean my husband and my son couldn't stay. I took my nine-month-old and took off for home.

The next day, my husband and son were offered more credits to take an even later flight. Yes, I encouraged—okay, ordered—them to wait it out at the airport, to "earn" more Delta Dollars. Our total take: $1,600. Not bad, huh?

Now some people may think I'm a bad mother and not such a great wife either. But as a big-time bargain hunter, I know the value of a dollar. And these days, a good deal is something few of us can afford to pass up.

I've made living looking for the best deals and exposing (揭露) the worst tricks. I have been the consumer reporter of NBC's Today show for over a decade. I have written a couple of books including one titled Tricks of the Trade: A Consumer Survival Guide. And I really do what I believe in.

I tell you this because there is no shame in getting your money’s worth. I’m also tightfisted when it comes to shoes, clothes for my children, and expensive restaurants. But I wouldn't hesitate to spend on a good haircut. It keeps its shape longer, and it's the first thing people notice. And I will also spend on a classic piece of furniture. Quality lasts.

【1】Why did Delta give the author's family credits?

A. They took a later flight.

B. They had early bookings.

C. Their flight had been delayed.

D. Their flight had been cancelled.

2What can we learn about the author?

A. She rarely misses a good deal.

B. She seldom makes a compromise.

C. She is very strict with her children.

D. She is interested in cheap products.

3What does the author do?

A. She's a teacher. B. She's a housewife.

C. She's a media person. D. She's a businesswoman.

4What does the author want to tell us?

A. How to expose bad tricks.

B. How to reserve airline seats.

C. How to spend money wisely.

D. How to make a business deal.

【题目】The chimp didn’t feel well. She fell over, ignoring the other wild chimps. Finally, the sick chimp crawled over to a bush, picked some leaves and swallowed them. By the next afternoon, the chimp was as good as new!

Biologists watching the chimp were surprised. Somehow, the plant had cured the chimp! Did the chimp know the plant would make her feel better? Or was it just a lucky accident?

Many scientists don’t think it has anything to do with luck. They’re discovering that some animals seem to use plants to cure themselves. And these animals are leading scientists to new plants that could cure humans!

Dr. Richard Wrangham, an anthropologist at Harvard University, agrees that animals may know something we don’t know about forest plants.

Wrangham got to know chimps and their diets while studying them for three years in Tanzania. “You must know a lot about an animal’s feeding habits to know what it doesn’t consider food,” Wrangham explains. Every morning, he saw that most chimps ate fruit near their nests. Later on, they ate on leaves.

When he noticed chimps eating the leaves of a plant they usually ignored, Wrangham thought something interesting was going on---especially when he saw that they’d sometimes walk for 20 minutes to find the plant. Another strange thing that caught his eye was how they ate the bitter leaves.

“They swallowed the leaves whole,” explains Wrangham, noting that chimps usually chew their food well. “They seemed to rub(摩擦)the leaves around the roofs of their mouths. They closed their eyes, wrinkled their noses and swallowed slowly.

Wrangham wondered what could be so good about something tasting so bad. He had a chemist analyze the leaves. He discovered that the leaves contain a red oil that kills different viruses(病毒). Later tests showed that the oil might even fight cancer and the AIDS virus!

Why don’t the chimps chew the leaves? “Rubbing the leaves between the tongue and the inside of the mouth might allow the chemicals to enter the bloodstream directly,” he suggests, “instead of going to the stomach, where they might get destroyed by acids. The chimps seem to know what they’re doing.”

【1】We can learn from the passage that _________.

A. chimps cure themselves by chewing plants

B. chemicals in plants help cure animals

C. scientists live with chimps to study their diets

D. Dr. Wrangham knows a lot about forest plants

2How can Dr. Wrangham tell which plants are medicine for chimps?

A. By talking with the biologists.

B.. By studying the chimps’ feeding habits.

C. By analyzing the chimps’ favorite food.

D. By comparing other scientists’ discoveries.

3The author wrote the passage to ___________.

A. provide a solution B. test a theory

C. present a finding D. describe an experiment

4What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. Animal doctors. B. Forest plants.

C. Chimp’s diets. D. A cure for cancer.
