What do we mean by culture? Lately social scientists have begun to ask if culture is found just in humans, or if some animals have a culture too. When we speak of culture, we mean a way of life a group of people have in common. Culture includes the beliefs and attitudes we learn. It is the patterns of behavior that help people to live together. It is also the patterns of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.Our culture lets us make up for having lost out strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses. Instead we use tools, cooperate with one another, and communicate with language. But these aspects of human behavior, or culture, can also be found in the lives of certain animals. Animals can make tools, for example. We used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and other animals. Lately, however, we have found that this is not the case. Chimpanzees(非洲小猩猩) can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to communicate. So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think.（1）Choose the statement that best expresses the main idea._. A . A chimpanzee can learn to use sign language to make sentencesB . Other animals can invent toolsC . Knowledge and communication are no longer signs of only human behaviorD . The line dividing human culture from animal culture is not as clear as we might think（2）Culture refers to _. A . book language of behavior we learnB . the patterns of behavior we learnC . traditional ideasD . peoples good habits（3）A chimpanzees use of tools means _. A . animals are the same as human beingsB . animals can be as clever as human beingsC . the dividing line between culture and animal culture no longer existsD . animals may have a culture like our own（4）Which of the following statement is true? A . The ability to use language separates human beingsB . We can be certain that animals have a culture tooC . Social scientists doubt if animals have a culture tooD . Some traditional ideas about the difference between human beings and animals may be wrong（5）The first sentence of the second paragraph Our culture lets 7us make up for having lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses means _. A . as a result of our culture, we have lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defensesB . our culture has enabled us even better though we have lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defensesC . our culture has brought back to us strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses that we have lostD . our culture asks that we lose our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses which animals still have18. （8分）閱讀理解 I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting. But where are we doing all of this waiting, and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours? To understand the issue, lets take a look at three types of waits”.The very purest form of waiting is the WatchedPot Wait It is without doubt the most annoying of al Take filling up the kitchen sink (洗碗池) as an example. There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until its full. During these waits, the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks. This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless.A cousin to the WatchedPot Wait is the Forced Wait This one requires a bit of discipline. Properly preparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait Directions are very specific. Bring three cups of water to boil, add mix, simmer three minutes, remove from heat, let stand five minutes. I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly. After all, Forced Waiting requires patience.Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the LuckyBreak Wait This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary. Unlike the Forced Wait, which is also voluntary, waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen.Turning ones life into a waiting game requires faith and hope, and is strictly for the optimists among us. On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes, but the LuckyBreak Wait well serves those who are willing to do it As long as one doesnt come to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody.We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting. The next time youre standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that youll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky, dont feel disappointed. Youre probably just as busy as the next guy.（1）While doing a WatchedPot Wait, we tend to _. A . keep ourselves busyB . get absent-mindedC . grow anxiousD . stay focused（2）What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the WatchedPot Wait? A . The Forced Wait requires some self- control.B . The Forced Wait makes people strictC . The WatchedPot Wait needs directions.D . The WatchedPot Wait involves body and brain.（3）What can we learn about the LuckyBreak Wait? A . It is less voluntary than the Forced WaitB . It doesnt always bring the desired resultC . It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait.D . It doesnt give people faith and hope.（4）What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting? A . Take it seriously.B . Dont rely on others.C . Do something else.D . Dont lose heart.19. （8分）根據(jù)短文理解，選擇正確答案。Do you and your friends ever talk about your dreams with each other? If you do, you might have noticed something interesting some of your friends seldom remember their dreams, but some can always describe their dreams so clearly that it seems like theyre describing things that really happened to them. What makes those people different?The answer is simple. There are two different types of dreamers low dream recallers（回憶者）and high dream recallers.Low dream recallers usually remember their dreams only twice a month. But high dream recallers are able to remember them about five mornings a week. And a new study suggests that activity in a certain part of the brain could have something to do with it, reported The Huffington Post.Perrine Ruby, a French researcher at the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center, studied 41 people (21 high dream recallers and 20 low dream recallers) and recorded their brain activity.She found that a part of the brain called the temporo-parietal junction (顳頂聯(lián)合區(qū)) was more active in high dream recallers than in low dream recallers both when they were sleeping and awake.This brain area collects and processes（編程）information from the outside world. This means that high dream recallers know more about whats happening around them. For example, when they are awake, they respond (對有反應) more strongly to hearing their own names, and when they are sleeping, they are woken more easily by sounds and movements.By closely studying peoples brain activities, Ruby found that high dream recallers have twice as much “wakefulness time” during sleep as low dream recallers do. And it is during these short times of wakefulness that the brain remembers dreams.“The sleeping brain is not able to remember new information,” Ruby told The Washington Post. “It needs to wake up to be able to do that.”This is not hard to understand. Just try to think of your own sleeping experiences. If you are worried during the night, you are more likely to remember your dreams, but if you sleep well, you will remember little in the morning, and this is because “you never get a chance to remember”, Robert Stickgold, a Harvard Medical School researcher, told The Washington Post.（1）According to the article, high dream recallers _.A . have very little brain activity during sleepB . can remember their dreams clearlyC . dont know how to describe their dreamsD . remember their dreams twice a week（2）Compared to high dream recallers, low dream recallers _.A . have higher sleep qualityB . have more sleepless nightsC . are more easily woken at nightD . respond faster when hearing their names（3）What is the main purpose of the last paragraph?A . To show the advantages of being a low dream recaller.B . To suggest what to do to become a low dream recaller.C . To make readers interested in future studies.D . To further explain Rubys research.20. （8分）閱讀下列材料，從A、B、C、D四個選項中選出最佳答案。BNational Smile Month is the largest and longest mouth health activity in the UK. Starting in 1977, it is celebrating its 42nd birthday from May 14 to June 14 this year.The British are known for their bad teeth because they have too many sugary (甜的) foods and drinks.

With the three messages, the organizers (組織者) hope that a month of smiling will make people all around the UK realize the importance of good teeth and be confident enough to open their mouths to smile.One interesting activity is for the British to enjoy the fun photos with short stories behind. Seeing the smiling faces and reading the interesting stories, everyone cant help smiling!

Many people dont stay at home during their vacation (假期). They want to go out to see something different or do something interesting. So people living in the countryside (鄉(xiāng)村) come to cities and people from cities go to the countryside for vacation. During the vacation, trains, buses and planes are all very busy. It is very hard to buy train or plane tickets. So many people take buses or drive cars to travel. Like many people, my family love nature (大自然). We like spending time in the beautiful countryside. But not all vacations in the countryside are nice. It is Saturday. My father drives us to the countryside for vacation. There are too many cars on the street, so we have to move very slowly. It takes us about an hour to get out of the city. Then after fifty minutes drive, we come to a hill. Not far from it, there is a lake. The water is very clean. And there are many people fishing. It is a good place to have a picnic. We take the food, fruit and drink out of t
