Culture means the pattern of human activity and the symbols that give importance to these activities. Culture expresses itself in terms of the art, literature, costumes, customs, language and religion. The word 'culture' comes from the Latin word which means “to teach”.
Culture is shared, by which we mean that every culture is shared by a group of people. Depending on the areas they live in, the climatic conditions they grow up in and their history, people form a set of values and beliefs. This set of rules of life shapes their culture. No culture belongs to a single person. It is rather shared among many people of a certain part of the world.
Culture is learned. Cultural values are imparted(傳授) from one generation to another, thus leading to continual traditions that are a part of culture. The language, the literature and the art forms pass across generations. No single person is born with a sense of his/her culture. He/she has to learn it.
Gradual change is a feature(特點(diǎn)) of almost every culture. Culture loses some of its features and gains new ones. With the passage of time, new technologies appear, new kinds of work come up, social thinking changes and so does culture. Every culture changes in time although the rate of change of every culture differs.
Studies have brought out a fact that no culture can remain in isolation(孤立). There is hardly any social group that is completely isolated from the rest of the world. Every culture, thus, is mostly affected by cultures of the surrounding areas. Cultural values are easy to be influenced by the values of nearby societies. The cultures, which appear during the same periods of time, often show certain similarities. Modern times have witnessed a mix of cultures. Cultures are combined together giving rise to shared cultures.

[1]Hi, I write this letter to you, my parents, to let you know what I’m thinking.

[3]While working up to twenty hours a week, my social life has been on the decline since school started.Naturally, you understand how important my friends are to me.Looking back to the summer, there have been many nights that I have wanted to go out, but if it was past nine o’clock, I would not be allowed to.You tell me to go to the party until my curfew, but if the rule continues, I will see my friends for an hour.Seeing my friends for an hour is better than nothing, but not enough to communicate with others.

第二節(jié)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。 Every year more people recognize that it is wrong to kill wildlife for “sport”. Progress in this direction is slow because shooting is not a sport for watching and only those few who take part in it realize the cruelty and destruction.
The number of gunners, however, grows rapidly.  67 They are subjected to advertisements of gun producers who describe shooting as good for their health and carrying gun as a way of putting redder blood in the veins(血管).  68 In school they view motion pictures which are supposedly meant to teach them how to deal with arms safely but which are actually designed to stimulate a desire to own a gun.
Wildlife is disappearing because of shooting and the loss of wildland habitat(棲息地). Habitat loss will continue with our increasing population, but can we slow the loss of wildlife caused by shooting? 69
       70  Although most people do not shoot, they seem to forgive shooting for sport because they know little or nothing about it. The only answer, then, is to bring the truth about sport shooting to the great majority of people.
Now, it is time to realize that animals have the same right to live as we do and that there is nothing fair or right about a person with a gun shooting the harmless and beautiful creatures. The gunners like to describe what they do as character-building, but we know that to wound an animal and watch it go through the suffering of dying can make nobody happy.  71 
A.There doesn’t seem to be any chance if the serious condition of our wildlife is not improved.
B.They are persuaded by gunner magazines with stories honoring the chase and the kill.
C.If, as they would have you believe, carrying guns and killing improve human character, then perhaps we should encourage war.
D.Children who are too young to develop proper judgments through independent thought are led a long way away by their parents who have guns.
E. The films children watch at school actually encourage them to have guns of their own.
F. Wildlife belongs to everyone instead of the gunners alone.
G. Most people do not seem to be against hunting because it helps to build human character.

In spite of the uncertainty of the economy, the movie industry has been stricken by a box-office outburst. Suddenly it seems as if everyone is going to the movies, with ticket sales this year up 17.5 percent, to $1.7 billion.
And it is not just because ticket prices are higher. Attendance has also jumped, by nearly 16 percent. If that pace continues through the year, it would amount to the biggest box-office increase in at least two decades.
Americans, for the moment, just want to hide in a very dark place. People want to forget their troubles, and they want to be with other people. Helping feed the outburst is the mix of movies, which have been more audience-friendly in recent months as the studios have tried to adjust after the discouraging sales of more serious films.
As she stood in line at the 18-screen Bridge theater complex here on Thursday to buy weekend tickets for “Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience,” Angel Hernandez was not thinking much about escaping reality. Instead, Ms. Hernandez, a Los Angeles parking lot attendant and mother of four young girls, was focused on one very specific reality: her wallet.
“Spending hundreds of dollars to take them to Disneyland is ridiculous right now,” she said. “For $60 and some candy money I can still be a good mom and give them a little fun.”
A lot of parents may have been thinking the same thing Friday, as “Jonas Brothers” sold out more than 800 theaters, and was expected to sell a powerful $25 million or more in tickets.
The film industry appears to have had a hand in its recent good luck. Over the last year or two, studios have released movies that are happier, scarier or just less depressing than what came before. After poor results for a rush of serious dramas built around the Middle East, Hollywood got back to comedies(喜劇).
64.Which of the following is not a reason for the improvement of the movie industry?
A. A growing number of people are going to the cinema.
B. People are richer with the development of economy.
C. More comedies are made than serious films.
D. People have to pay more to watch a movie.
65.Ms. Hernandez purchased the movie tickets because ________.
A. she tried to escape reality                                     B. she was a crazy movie fan
C. she was fond of Disneyland                                  D. she wanted to please her kids
66.According to the text, which of the following number is not used to describe the shooting up of the movie industry?
A.17.5%                      B. $1.7 billion                     C. $60                                 D. $25 million
67.The passage is developed mainly by ________.
A. presenting the effect and analyzing the causes       
B. following the order of time
C. describing problems and drawing a conclusion             
D. making comparison of ideas

Michelle Obama is the first lady of American fashion, appearing on the cover of the March issue of Vogue.
Every first lady since Lou Hoover—except Bess Truman—has been appeared in the high-fashion magazine, but Mrs. Obama is only the second to appear on the cover. She appears wearing a silk dress by Jason Wu.
Vogue’s editor Andre Leon Tally recalled his interviews with Mrs. Obama ahead of US president Barack Obama’s swearing-in ceremony(就職典禮). “One of the best experiences of my life .” “She is so easily reached, natural and normal.” he said.
Mrs. Obama described her role as “Mom in chief” to 10-year-old Malia and 7-year-old Sasha. “I’m going to try to take them to school every morning, as much as I can,” she said. “But there’s also a measure of freedom. And clearly there will be time I won’t be able to drop them off at all. I like to appear in my kids’ school. I want to know the teachers; I want to know the other parents.”
Being in Vogue, though, the chat finally turns to clothes. “I’m not going to pretend that I don’t care about it,” she said. “But I also have to be very practical. Someone will always not like what you wear---people just have different tastes. ”
Most cover models have their clothes chosen for them by Vogue, or at least editors work as advisers. Not this time. “She doesn’t need any help. She loves fashion and knows what works for her,” Talley said. “She has never had a talk with me about, ‘What do you think?’ or ‘How does this like?’ And I’m glad for that.”
45. From the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 we know____.
A. every first lady has appeared on the cover of Vogue
B. only Bess Truman has appeared on the cover of Vogue
C. only two first ladies have appeared on the cover of Vogue
D. only Mrs. Obama has appeared on the cover of Vogue
46. From the forth paragraph we know Mrs. Obama ____.
A. loves their daughters very much
B. likes to do housework very much
C. likes to do all for her husband
D. has nothing to do after daughters go to school
47. From the last paragraph we know Mrs. Obama ____.
A. is a woman of kindness
B. has her own sense of beauty and idea
C. herself is a clothes designer and model
D. doesn’t like to be watched changing clothes
48. Which of the following is the best title?
A. First ladies of Vogue Cover Model
B. First Lady Michelle Obama Read Vogue Too
C. First Ladies Like to be Vogue Cover Model

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng),并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。
When my family moved to America from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.
I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.
In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.
However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.
After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.
41.Jack brought the couple their food very fast because_________.
A.the manager asked him to do so
B.he respected the elderly
C.the couple wanted him to do so
D.he wanted more pay
42.When Jack called the couple “elderly”, they became__________.
A.nervous                                                     B.satisfied
C.unhappy                                                    D.excited
43.In Jack’s hometown, _________.
A.people dislike being called “old”
B.people are proud of being old
C.many people reach the age of seventy or eighty
D.the elderly are the first to get food in restaurants
44.After this experience, Jack_________.
A.lost his job in the restaurant   
B.made friends with the couple
C.no longer respected the elderly
D.changed his way with older people
45.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.The more Jack explained, the angrier the couple got.
B.Jack wanted to show his feelings through words after his experience.
C.The manager went back to the table and apologized to the couple.
D.From this experience, Jack learned more about American culture.
