20、为止”。后接表示过去的时间时，句子用过去完成时。49A.to live BlivingClived Dlive答案B解析此处为现在分词短语作定语，意思是“生活在”。50A.when BafterCuntil Dsince答案C解析此处的until与not搭配，意思是“直到才”。51A.thousand of Bthousands ofCthousands Dthousand答案B解析表示不确定的数量，这四个选项中唯一正确的为B项，其他均不对。52A.in BtoCnear Dfrom答案D解析此处“from.”表示“来自”，指他们的祖籍。由本段第一句可知此处介绍加拿大的移民中英国人所占的比例。

31、nships between friends or acquaintances答案C解析细节理解题。由第二、三段可知，Bronislaw Malinoski所提到的“a phatic communication”指的是在交际中所使用的语言，没有特定含义，而仅是一种交际方式。这种方式可以帮助建立或巩固一定的人际关系。58Some people seldom greet strangers because _.Athey want to be polite to othersBthey feel uncomfortable to do itCthey dont know when to greet
32、 themDthey want to do something meaningful答案B解析细节理解题。根据第四段的“Theres embarrassment of being near people without acknowledging them.”和下文所举的例子可知，有些人不愿意和陌生人打招呼，因为那样会让他们感觉很尴尬、不舒服。59What does the text mainly tell us?AGreetings should be given better expressions.BGreetings convey different meanings to diffe
33、rent people.CGreetings help prove an individuals social independence.DGreetings help an individual be connected with the society.答案D解析主旨大意题。文章对打招呼用语进行了介绍，认为一些用语并没有实际含义，仅是被用来建立或者维持人们之间的关系，使人们能更好地融入社会。BHow to deal successfully with a child who shows outstanding musical ability？Its not always clear how
