They always take their shoes off before they go in. Then they usually sit on the floor around a small, low table. In the evening they often sing songs.”“You usually take chocolates or flowers. But you always take an odd number of flowers, and you remove the paper before you give them to the hostess. You can also send flowers before you arrive. you don’t usually take wine except when you visit very close friends.”“We always offer our guests something to drink when they arrive, tea, coffee or perhaps water or soft drinks. We think it is polite to accept a drink even if you’re not thirsty. If you visit someone you always stay for a few drinks. When you have had enough to drink, you tap your cup or put your hand over it. If you say no, your host will insist that you have more to drink.”“People’s private lives are very important so they never ask you personal questions about your family or where you live or your job. They never talk about religion or matters of finance, education or politics, but usually stay with safe subjects like the weather, films, plays, books and restaurants.”“It’s difficult to know when to leave, but an evening meal usually lasts about three or four hours. When the host serves coffee, this is sometimes a sign that the evening is nearly over, but you can have as much coffee as you want.”“If the invitation says eight o’clock then we arrive exactly a t eight. With friends we know well, we sometimes arrive about fifteen minutes before.”“Obviously it depends on the occasion, but most dinner parties are informal.

You should accept the hostess’ drinks even if you’re not thirsty.(B)Edward Wilson is America’s, if not the world’s, leading naturalist. In The Future of Life, he takes us on a tour of the world’s natural resources(资源). How are they used? What has been lost? What remains and is it able to continue with the present speed of use? Wilson also points out the need to understand fully the biodiversity(生物多样性)of our earth.Wilson begins with an open letter to the pioneer in environment (环境) protection, Henry David Thoreau. He compares today’s Walden Pond with that of Thoreau’s day. Wilson will use such comparisons for the rest of the book. The problem is clear: man has done great damage to his home over the years. Can the earth, with human help, be made to return to biodiversity levels that will be able to support us in the future?Biodiversity, Wilson argues, is the key to settling many problems the earth faces today. Even our agricultural crops can gain advantages from it. A mere hundred species(物种) are the basis of our food supply, of which but twenty carry the load. Wilson suggests changing this situation by looking into ten thousand species that could be made use of, which will be a way to reduce the clearing of the natural homes of plants and animals to enlarge farming areas.At the end of the book, Wilson discusses the importance of human values in considering the environment. If you are to continue to live on the earth, you may well read and act on the ideas in this book.56. We learn form the text that Wilson cares most about ______A. the environment for plantsB. the biodiversity of our earthC. the wastes of natural resourcesD. the importance of human values57. How many species are most important to our present food supply?A. Twenty.B. Eighty.C. One hundredD. Ten thousand.58. Wilson suggests that one way to keep biodiversity is to _______.A. learn how to farm scientificallyB. build homes for some dying speciesC. make it clear what to eatD. use more species for food59. We can infer that the text is _______A. a description of natural resourcesB. a research reportC. a book reviewD. an introduction to a scientist.60. Edward Wilson is _______A. a pioneer in environment protectionB. an American scientist in environment protectionC. a world-famous scientist in AsiaD. a well-known expert in nature in U.S.AUnit 24 Keys: 1-5 ACDBC6-10 DBADB11-15 ACBDB16-20 AACAB21-25 DBDBB26-30 ACADD完形31-35 ABCBD36-40 DACBC 41-45 BDCBD46-50 AABCC 阅读51-55 BDACB56-59 BADCD。

Sandwich Islands in 1778 for the English Earl(伯爵)of Sandwich.Thankfully，that name didn’t last.How would you like to tell your friends you’re going to Sandwich on vacation?In 1820，New England missionaries(传教士)arrived and began to westernize the islands.In 1840，Britain，France，and the United States recognized Hawaii as an independent kingdom，headed by King Kamehameha Ⅲ.Yet Britain and France wanted to control the islands，and thus Kamehameha Ⅲ placed Hawaii under US protection in 1875.In 1887，the United States was given permission to set up a naval base in Hawaii at Pearl ter，the King was overthrown(推翻)，and Hawaii was founded as a republic in 1893.The US control of the islands came five years later，when the United States annexed(兼并)Hawaii and it became a US region in 1900.Under the influence of the US，the population of Hawaii grew and its economy grew as well，as the islands increased sugar and pineapple production to satisfy the US mainland.Hawaii’s importance as a military stati on became important when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7,1941.This brought the United States as well as Hawaii into World War Ⅱ.Following the war’s end in 1945，the state took a long journey toward statehood.On August 21,1959，Hawaii was admitted to the union as the 50th state of the US. 1．The author thinks the name of Sandwich Islands for Hawaii to be ________.A．unusual B．goodC．unforgettable D．improper2．Why did Hawaii ask to be put under US protection in 1875?A．Because New England missionaries wanted to westernize it.B．Because it became a naval base of the United States.C．Because Britain and France wanted to rule it.D．Because it wanted to be a state of the United States.3．When did Hawaii begin to be under the control of the United States?A．In 1900. B．In 1898.C．In 1875. D．In 1893.4．The following aspects about Hawaii are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT ________.A．its name B．its economyC．its military D．its customs5．The main idea of the passage is about ________.A．wh at was Hawaii’s original nameB．who came to settle on Hawaii firstC．how Hawaii became a US stateD．why Hawaii joined in the World War ⅡBThe Josephson Institute，a Los Angelesbased ethics institute，surveyed 29,760 students at 100 high schools nationwide，both public and private.The survey found that 35% of boys and 26% of girls admitted stealing from a store within the past year and 64% have cheated on a test，which suggests that today’s young people are less honest than previous generations.However，Josep hson addressed that today’s youth are no less honest than their ancestors.“The question is not whether things are worse，but whether they are bad enough to attract concern.This is not a time to complain but to take thoughtful，positive action.”Roberta Gerold，director of the Middle Country School District and a leader of the campaign，said parents and school officials need to be more diligent—for example，stressing to students the differences between original and borrowed work.“Adults are not taking this very seriously，”he said.“The schools are not doing even the most moderate thing.”Nijmie Dzurinko，executive director of the Philadelphia Student Union，said the findings were not at all reflective of the innercity students she works with as support for better cu rriculum and school funding.“A lot of people like to blame society’s problems on young people，without recognizing that young people aren’t making the decisions about what’s happening in society.”Riddile，who for four decades was a high school teacher，agreed that more pressure could lead to more cheating，yet he said，“I

Unit 24 SocietyⅠ.阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)ANew Year's Day is worth celebrating and you probably celebrate New Year's Day together with your family and friends, enjoying drinks and watching the ball drop. If you're lucky, perhaps you share a kiss with that special one when the clock hits 00：00am. But how New Year's Day would look in another country? Listed below are four of the top ten “Unique New Year Traditions from Around the World.”1. Breaking Dishes on Neighbor's Door—DenmarkA strange Danish New Year tradition, depending on how you look at it, is throwing dishes at neighbor's door. The family with the tallest tower of broken plates, glasses, cups and other crockery is considered to be the luckiest person because it symbolizes their large crowd of loyal friends.2. Talking to Spirits—MexicoMexicans strongly believe that they can communicate with the souls of their dead loved ones. New Year's Eve is considered the best time to communicate with dead spirits to convey a message or ask for guidance. Taos Inn, in New Mexico for example, offers 15 minutes session of spiritualism and deep thought for $15. Not a bad price for some helpful guidance!3. Wearing Polka Dots—PhilippinesImagine people wearing polka dots and dining room tables full of round shaped food and fruits on one single day of the year in Philippines. And they believe that this will bring them prosperity by associating the round dots to coins and wealth.4. Burning Scarecrow Dummy—EcuadorEcuador has a custom of crafting scarecrows and burning them. As midnight approaches, gathering outside, each family burns their own scarecrow filled with newspapers and pieces of wood. The tradition says that this destroys all the bad things that took place in the past 12 months. The scarecrow also scares away bad luck, which in turn, fills their new year with luck and happiness.The world is large but different. People of all nations may celebrate New Year'sDay much differently, but a lot of general themes are to be seen. We all want to start a new, fresh year with renewed enthusiasm and hope no matter what happened during the past year. We all want to be happier, find love, renew friendships, increase our wealth and also hope for a little extra luck in the coming new year.【语篇解读】本文主要叙述了丹麦、墨西哥、菲律宾、厄瓜多尔这四个国家庆祝新年的方式。

D．People from Ecuador make and burn scarecrows to win good luck and happiness.
【解析】细节理解题。由第三段“Taos Inn, in New Mexico for example, offers 15 minutes session of spiritualism and deep thought for $15.”可知，在Taos旅店人们并不是真的可以与已故的至爱之人的亡灵交流，故B项叙述不恰当。由第二段“The family with the tallest tower of broken plates, glasses, cups and other crockery is considered to be the luckiest person because it symbolizes their large crowd of loyal friends.”可知，在丹麦，谁家门口摔碎的盘子、杯子等越多，谁的朋友就越多，故A项叙述准确。由第四段内容可知，菲律宾人认为穿着圆点图案的衣服会给他们带来财富，故C项符合原文意思。根据第五段内容可知，在厄瓜多尔，人们会制作并焚烧稻草人以求带来好运和幸福，故D项内容与原文意思吻合。

Why not try it？” my Chinese teacher asked me one day.With that, my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began.

Sandwich Islands in 1778 for the English Earl(伯爵)of Sandwich.Thankfully，that name didn’t last.How would you like to tell your friends you’re going to Sandwich on vacation?In 1820，New England missionaries(传教士)arrived and began to westernize the islands.In 1840，Britain，France，and the United States recognized Hawaii as an independent kingdom，headed by King Kamehameha Ⅲ.Yet Britain and France wanted to control the islands，and thus Kamehameha Ⅲ placed Hawaii under US protection in 1875.In 1887，the United States was given permission to set up a naval base in Hawaii at Pearl ter，the King was overthrown(推翻)，and Hawaii was founded as a republic in 1893.The US control of the islands came five years later，when the United States annexed(兼并)Hawaii and it became a US region in 1900.Under the influence of the US，the population of Hawaii grew and its economy grew as well，as the islands increased sugar and pineapple production to satisfy the US mainland.Hawaii’s importance as a military stati on became important when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7,1941.This brought the United States as well as Hawaii into World War Ⅱ.Following the war’s end in 1945，the state took a long journey toward statehood.On August 21,1959，Hawaii was admitted to the union as the 50th state of the US. 1．The author thinks the name of Sandwich Islands for Hawaii to be ________.A．unusual B．goodC．unforgettable D．improper2．Why did Hawaii ask to be put under US protection in 1875?A．Because New England missionaries wanted to westernize it.B．Because it became a naval base of the United States.C．Because Britain and France wanted to rule it.D．Because it wanted to be a state of the United States.3．When did Hawaii begin to be under the control of the United States?A．In 1900. B．In 1898.C．In 1875. D．In 1893.4．The following aspects about Hawaii are mentioned in the passage EXCEPT ________.A．its name B．its economyC．its military D．its customs5．The main idea of the passage is about ________.A．wh at was Hawaii’s original nameB．who came to settle on Hawaii firstC．how Hawaii became a US stateD．why Hawaii joined in the World War ⅡBThe Josephson Institute，a Los Angelesbased ethics institute，surveyed 29,760 students at 100 high schools nationwide，both public and private.The survey found that 35% of boys and 26% of girls admitted stealing from a store within the past year and 64% have cheated on a test，which suggests that today’s young people are less honest than previous generations.However，Josep hson addressed that today’s youth are no less honest than their ancestors.“The question is not whether things are worse，but whether they are bad enough to attract concern.This is not a time to complain but to take thoughtful，positive action.”Roberta Gerold，director of the Middle Country School District and a leader of the campaign，said parents and school officials need to be more diligent—for example，stressing to students the differences between original and borrowed work.“Adults are not taking this very seriously，”he said.“The schools are not doing even the most moderate thing.”Nijmie Dzurinko，executive director of the Philadelphia Student Union，said the findings were not at all reflective of the innercity students she works with as support for better cu rriculum and school funding.“A lot of people like to blame society’s problems on young people，without recognizing that young people aren’t making the decisions about what’s happening in society.”Riddile，who for four decades was a high school teacher，agreed that more pressure could lead to more cheating，yet he said，“I would take these students over other generations.I found them to be more flexible，more rewarding to work with.We have to create situations where it’s easy for kids to do the right things.We ne ed to create classrooms where learning takes on more important than having the right answer.”6．According to the survey，we know that more________.A．public school students admitted stealingB．private school students admitted stealingC．students have cheated on a testD．girls have cheated on a test7．Who has been a teacher for 40 years according to the text?A．Josephson.B．Roberta Gerold.C．Nijmie Dzurinko.D．Riddile.8．According to Nijmie Dzurinko，we know that she________.A．was surprised at the survey resultB．thought the survey is effective and usefulC．was not totally with the surveyD．was strongly touched by the survey9．What can be inferred from Riddile’s words?A．The adults need to do much to help the young students.B．The young students are better than other generations.C．The teachers should be rewarded and respected more.D．Classrooms should be rebuilt to create a better environment.10．Who should take the responsibility for being less honest according to Roberta Gerold?A．The students.B．Previous generations.C．Public schools.D．Parents and schools.CThe Benefits of Helping OthersMost of us have needed help with something at some point in our lives.The old saying “no man is an

【答案】 DBAlibaba started taking the lead in China by connecting big Chinese manufacturers(制造商) with big buyers across the world.Its businesstobu sinesssite， allowed business to buy almost everything.Alibaba's advantage wasn't hard to judge: size.Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards.Its market attracts 231 million active buyers, 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a year—and Alibaba is just the middleman.It encourages people to use its markets—not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale.If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life, take my experience.I moved to Beijing a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded, polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom furnishings, and anything else my wife wanted.“You're looking for what exactly? Why not try it？” my Chinese teacher aske d me one day.With that, my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began.Alibaba's original businesstobusiness model now is second to consumer buying.Chinese retail(零售) buying makes up 80% of Alibaba's profit, and leading that group is Taobao, with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things you'll ever is Alibaba's other big site, where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices.What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U．S.is how China has gone beyond traditional shoppingbigbox retailers especially —in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites.In smaller towns than Beijing, where big retailers have not yet travelled，shopping online is shopping, and shopping is Taobao.I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how wide the marketplace is.Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping.I'm not even a big buyer, because I need friends to help me search the Chineselanguage site.When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher's iPad, which helps me buy goods, I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.【语篇解读】阿里巴巴原创的业务——电子商务模型引发了中国人最大的购物方式的变化。
