18、ted Bcovered byClike Dcovering答案B解析此处covered by(覆盖着)为过去分词短语作areas的定语。41A.few Bpacks ofCa number of Da few答案D解析only a few只有一些。要注意:尽管此词组表示的数量不多,但不能用only few。42A.are BisCwere Dwas答案C解析本句主语为people,所以谓语要求用复数形式。全文时态为过去时,故选C项。43A.crossed BwalkedCpassed Dswam答案A解析此处cross为动词,意思是“跨过,穿过”。爱斯基摩人从亚洲到加拿大中途要穿越白令海峡。
19、44A.notes BrecordsCsigns Dspeeches答案B解析此处record意思是“记录”。句意为:几乎没有他们早期活动的记录。45A.British BIndiansCFrench DAmerican答案C解析根据下文可以看出是法国人。46A.deal BmembersCareas Dnumbers答案D解析此题考查词组“in great numbers”,表示“大量地”。47A.who BwhichCwhom Dwhere答案D解析此处where引导一个非限制性定语从句,在句中作状语。48A.By BInCAt DOn答案A解析by the time of.意思是“到时候
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。

22、words run together into a mass,all sense and meaning lost.

24、ces.And you are reestablishing the ties that may have lapsed(衰退) since yesterday,when you last met at the elevator or the entrance to the train station.Its what anthropologist(人类学家) Bronislaw Malinoski called a phatic(交流感情的) communication.Its message is not in the words you use,but in the fact that
25、you speak ritually(仪式上地) accepted words.In Asia,for example,people may ask one another if they have eaten,or if they are busy.Theyre not really asking for their lunch menu or their agenda,they are saying hello.A phatic signal merely says, “I see you there.” It says hi.Theres embarrassment of being n
26、ear people without acknowledging them.That uncomfortable feeling is one reason why lonely passengers in the subway may behave as if they cannot see anyone around them or may escape their uncomfortable situation with a book.Some people read all the way home,and never turn a page.Your friend isnt aski

28、 you are.Meanwhile,people who greet one another this way do care.They care enough to recognize someones essential humanity(人性)They send a signal across the space between,to share,very briefly and lightly,in awareness of one another.Your greetings prove that neither of you has become a social outcast

30、w other peoples privacyDexpress something special答案B解析细节理解题。第一段强调,人们见面打招呼时的用语仅是人们之间交流的一种方式,没有实际的含义。57.According to Bronislaw Malinoski,a phatic communication _.Ais rarely used by Asian peopleBis too complex to be used oftenChelps establish or keep certain relationshipsDoften ruins the normal relatio
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

39、roblem is the cost;the fees are high(12,00017,000 a year for boarders)However,each school will make every effort with scholarships and other forms of financial assistance,to help parents of outstandingly gifted children to find the necessary fees.Secondly,not all parents want to send their children
40、to boarding school,especially at a very early age.Almost all the directors of the specialist schools express doubts about the wisdom of admitting children as young as seven into such an intense and disciplined(守纪律的) environment.They stress,however,that their main aim is to turn out “rounded and well
41、balanced” individuals.There is little doubt that setting musically gifted children apart from an early age can cause stress.Early signs of musical ability may disappear in their teenage years,while natural competitiveness and the pressure to succeed can lead to a deep sense of failure.But all specia
42、list schools do keep a close watch on the progress of individual pupils,and offer help and advice if needed.60If a childs musical ability is not recognized,_.Athe child may misbehaveBthe ability may fade awayCthe child may lose interestDthe parents may become anxious答案A解析细节理解题。根据第一段第三句可知,如果家长没能认识到并回

44、 deal with children who are especially able in academic subjects.”和“.especially one where music is regarded as a secondary activity.”可知,在普通学校音乐不是重要学科。62What makes specialist music schools different from other schools?ATheir working day is longer.BA range of musical training is offered.CMore than hal
45、f the day is spent on music.DThe children have mostly onetoone lessons.答案B解析推理判断题。文章第三段从音乐学院设置的专业课程、练习等方面说明音乐学院提供一系列的音乐训练。63What do most school directors see as a possible disadvantage for pupils?APoor children may not be included.BThey may lose their individuality.CThere may be a discipline problem
46、.DThey may not be mature enough on arrival.答案D解析推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Almost all the directors of the specialist schools express doubts about the wisdom of admitting children as young as seven into such an intense and disciplined(守纪律的)environment.”推断,绝大多数音乐学院的负责人认为孩子们入学时年龄太小,不成熟。CTayka Hotel de SalWhere:Tah
