Connell’s tone is straightforward and non-judgmental nonConnell doesn’t show bias toward Rainsford or Zaroff. He doesn’t judge Zaroff’s game or Rainsford’s opinion of hunted animals. He doesn’t comment on the events of the story. He chooses a third person limited point of view and remains within that context.

Thankfully, she is blessed with good health.I still remember ten years ago when she turned 80, she surprised my brother and me with what she described as “independent birthday”.One day she informed us she'd booked a seven-night trip to Turkey. Alone. Because she had never been. Of course, that was ridiculous. There was no way my brother and I could allow that. A weak, little old lady wandering the streets of Istanbul on her own, not speaking a word of Turkish, with no knowledge of the laws and customs of the land—it was out of the question!She paid no attention to us. Off she went. When she returned, she told us it had been a wonderful success. As it turned out, she had barely spent any time alone, after hiring a taxi driver to show her around Istanbul for some days. He took her to all the sites—the markets, churches and restaurants. He introduced her to a blanket seller, “a lovely fellow,” and she bought some blankets. The seller took her address details and promised to ship them to Canada. They would be arriving in three or four weeks. My mother beamed (眉开眼笑) as she told this story. The blanket seller and my mother apparently built a friendship and she told him to drop by if he were ever in Canada.To our great shock, her blankets did arrive some weeks later, along with a lovely note from the seller Mustafa. To our even greater surprise, the following year Mustafa himself arrived in Canada. He called our mother to inform her he was in Ottawa.“I invited him over and he came by for a cup of tea. They drink a lot of tea in Turkey,” my mother told my horrified brother and me.Her trip of independence seems to be thoughtfully based on a realization that life is to be lived. It reminded me of the line from the movie The Shawshank Redemption: “Get busy living or get busy dying.”4．Why did the author's mother go to Turkey alone?A. To make the author and the brother surprised.B. To celebrate her 80th birthday independently.C. To prepare herself to enter her ninth decade.D. To inform the author that she needed independence.5．Which of the following best describes the mother's trip to Turkey on the whole?A. Colorful.B. Boring.C. Dangerous.D. Challenging.6．What do we know about the blanket seller?A. He is poor but kind-hearted.B. He is outgoing and funny.C. He is rich but selfish.D. He is friendly and reliable.7．What can we learn from the text?A. It's never too old to learn.B. East or West, home is best.C. Life should be well lived.D. Time and tide wait for no man.Billionaire Elon Musk on Wednesday announced that he has formed a new artificial intelligence(AI) company, xAI, which has employed researchers from Google, OpenAI and other top technology companies. The goal, Musk tweeted, is “to understand reality.”xAI is a separate company from Musk's other businesses, such as Tesla and Twitter, but will work closely with them, according to the new company's website.mention what projects it will be working on, the company noted that its team of 11 researchers are drawn from top tech companies such as Microsoft Research, OpenAI and Google.Musk suggested that the reason he picked July 12, 2023, to announce the start of xAI is connected with a science fiction(科幻小说) classic, Douglas Adams' “The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.” In his tweet, he noted that adding the date 7-12-23 equals 42, which the work of the fiction famously assumes is the answer to life.“The goal of xAI is to understand the true nature of the universe,” the xAI website states. The company said it will be advised by Dan Hendrycks, director of the Center for AI Safety. Hendrycks pointed out where AI could cause problems. “AIs could be used by bad people to make new deadly bioweapons(生物武器),” Hendrycks said in May. “Or people could make AI that tries to hurt people on purpose. If this AI was really smart, it could be a big danger to all of us.”The first time xAI was shown to the public was after Musk talked about it in April to the former Fox News host Tucker Carlson. Musk told Carlson that OpenAI's ChatGPT was a bitbiased(有偏见的) and that he wanted to create a different tool that would be a super honest AI that tries to learn how everything in the world works.The new company reflected(反映) Musk's long-voiced concerns about a future in which AI systems could present a risk to human existence. The idea, Musk said, is that an AI that wants to understand humanity is less likely to destroy it.8．What does the underlined word “novice” in paragraph 3 mean?A. Boss.B. Coach.C. Partner.D. Beginner.9．Why did Musk announce the start of xAI on July 12, 2023?A. He chose the date to remember a friend.B. He was influenced by a number in a book.C. It was suggested by a writer at his invitation.D. It was the decision of all the 11 researchers of xAI.10．What does Hendrycks think of AI?A. It is quite worrying.B. It is money-making.C. It will not be smarter than humans.D. It can be used to punish bad people. 11．What did Musk say to Carlson?A. It will take time to create a new AI.B. OpenAI's ChatGPT has its advantages.C. Creating an honest AI is his dream.D. It is hard to change people's ideas of AI.The story about horses in North America told in several written histories is in need of an update, according to a new study. After examining archaeological(考古学的) remains(遗骸) of horses, researchers suggest Indigenous peoples(土著居民) had spread the animals through the American West by the first half of the 1600s — before they met Europeans.The findings agree with oral (口述的) histories from Indigenous groups, which tell of interactions(相互作用)with horses before settlers arrived in their homelands. Meanwhile, written European texts from the 1700s and 1800s stated that horses only spread through the area after 1680.Horses first appeared in the Americas around four million years ago, but by about 10,000 years ago, they had mostly disappeared from the record. Spanish settlers likely first brought horses back to the Americas in 1519. According to the new study, Indigenous peoples then transported horses north along trade networksTo find when the animals spread, researchers examined the remains of more than twenty horses discovered across the Western U.S. Rather than simply walking around the countryside on their own, the horses appear to have been part of Native American culture. Signs of teeth problems on one horse and growths on the bones of the head of another suggested people had put bridles(马勒) on the animals. Certain chemical elements(化学元素) in the animals' teeth suggested they ate maize, an Indigenous plant. And another horse had a previously broken facial bone that had fully recovered, meaning it might have received medical treatment.Researchers compared the ancient horses' DNA with that of modern horses and found that the centuries-old horses had largely Spanish origins(血统).Together, the findings suggest horses spread "from Spanish settlements in the American Southwest to the northern Rockies and central Great Plains by the first half of the 17th century.”The findings also highlight the importance of Indigenous oral traditions in understanding history. “Our cultures have been so misunderstood for so long,” says co-author Yvette Collin. “Too often history has been told around us, without us.”12．What needs to be updated according to the new study?A. When horses showed up in the Americas.B. Who introduced horses to North America.C. When Native Americans first met Europeans.D. Who spread horses through the American West.13．What did researchers find out about ancient horses from the remains?A. They had hardly any Spanish origins.B. They were born with tooth disease.C. They played a role in natives' life.D. They were badly treated by natives. 14．What does Collin think of oral histories?A. They spread easily.B. They show the truth.C. They pass down traditions.D. They unite Indigenous groups.15．What is the best title for the text?A. Written texts explain human-horse interactionsB. Oral histories help us understand Indigenous culturesC. New research rewrites the history of American horsesD. Archaeological remains are the key to learning about the past二、阅读补全16．Looking for something to do while waiting for the bus?①_____At 20 stops across Boston until August, you can check out digital books from the library using your smartphone.

• captured sailors from wrecked ships to serve as game. He even trained his captives so that they would become experienced in living in the jungle and could give him a greater challenge when he hunted them. None of those poor sailors had survived the game. Now Rainsford is on his island, another captive. Zaroff “invites” Rainsford to join his hunting game. Though a great hunter himself, Rainsford is now in a different position because in this game, it is he who has to do everything possible to save his own life. This text gives a detailed description of the battle of wits between Zaroff and Rainsford.
Synopsis
The text is the concluding part of the original story where it comes to a climax. Rainsford is a famous American big-game hunter. To him the world is made up of two classes: the hunters and those who are hunted, and he is glad that he is the hunter. As a hunter he never considers how the one being hunted feels—the fear of pain and of death. One dark night, while sailing, probably near the notorious Bermuda Triangle, Rainsford’s hat was blown off by a gust of wind, and in trying to catch it, he reached out too far and fell overboard. There was nothing he could

He had never, in his entire life, had more than a tot al of one year’s schooling. And books? Lincoln once said he had walked to borrow every book within fifty miles of his home. A fire was usually kept going all night in the small house and he read by the light of it.He walked twenty or thirty miles to hear a speaker and, returning home, he practiced his talks everywhere--in the fields, in the woods, before the crowds. He joined several societies and practiced speaking on the topics of the day.A lack of confidence always troubled him. In the presence of women he was shy and dumb. Even when he was in love with Mary Todd, he used to sit there, nervous and silent, unable to find words, listening while she did the talking. Yet that was the man who, by practice and home study, made himself into the speaker who debated with the famous speaker Douglas! That was the man who，in Gettysburg Address，rose to the heights of eloquence （雄辩）that have seldom been achieved in all the human history.Small wonder that, speaking of his own great barriers and painful struggles, he wrote, “If you are determined to make a lawyer of yourself, the thing is more than half done already.”5、Which of the following statements is True?A. Lincoln read a great many books.B. Lincoln practiced speaking skills at home.C. Lincoln received good education at school.D. Lincoln was determined to become a lawyer.6、What is the key point of the fourth paragraph?A. Lincoln’s position.B. Lincoln’s progress.C. Lincoln’s courage.D. Lincoln’s eloquence.7、What is the most vital spirit reflected in L incoln’s story above?A. Believing in oneself.B. Overcoming difficulties.C. Keep on practicing hard.D. Sticking to one’s determination.With all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, it’s not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someone’s face when you know they are feeling down in the dumps makes them feel good and warms their hearts.How would you feel if you could not joke with your wife, husband, child, co-worker, neighbor, close friends, or even just someone who you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I don’t know the person I’m joking with. My grandma always f ound humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in any situation, but also is common courtesy（礼貌） to speak to others who are around you.I know of a few people who don’t have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say. Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They don’t get the joke that makes othersspace. How can people not get a really funny joke?Laughing is essential to keeping your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medication to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to ignore the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.8、What is the author’s attitude towards the present world?A. Satisfied.B. Critical.C. Positive.D. Indifferent.9、The phrase “busting a gut” in the third paragraph can be replaced by_____.A. keeping silentB. speaking loudC. explaining carefullyD. laughing hard10、According to the author, humor is useful for_____.A. picking up people’s spiritsB. making people more confidentC. helping people get on well with othersD. helping get rid of the cruelty in the world11、In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to_____.A. convince people of the power of humorB. talk about his own understanding of humorC. encourage people to be humorous in daily lifeD. introduce a practical way to get through daily lifeThe British are known for their sense of humour. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “It’s a little damp (潮湿的) outside.” Or,if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say. “She isn’t exactly friendly.” Underst atement is often used in an unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humour.Another key to understanding British humour is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidentally falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What’s more, the British love to watch comedies about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedy series Mr Bean is a good example of this kind of humour.Mr Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr Bean is popular in many countries round the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humour. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humour.12、Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes?A. The British often stick to the facts.B. British jokes are involved with many different cultures.C. British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries.D. The British try to make out that something is less important than it is.13、The author explains understatement by_____.A. using examplesB. making comparisonsC. following time orderD. describing a process14、Mr Bean makes people laugh by_____.A. telling funny storiesB. copying others’ behaviorC. making jokes about others’ accentsD. using his body movement and facial expressions15、What can be the best title for the text?A. British Humour in ComedyB. Humour in Different CulturesC. Understanding British HumourD. Developing Your Sense of Humour二、七选五16、We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear. Maybe some of your fears are brought on by your own experiences, by what someone has told you, by what you’ve read in the papers. Some fears are valid, like walking alone in a bad part of town at two o’clock in the morning. ①_______Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions. Fear can destroy fortunes. Fear can destroy relationships. ②_______ It is one of the many enemies hidden inside us.Let me tell you about four of the other enemies we face from within. The first enemy that you’ve got to destroy before it destroys you is indifference. Another enemy we face is indecision. Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise. ③_______ Take a sword to this enemy.Th e third enemy inside is doubt. Sure, there’s room for healthy skepticism. You can’t believe everything. But you also can’t let doubt take over. Many people doubt the past, doubt the future, doubt each other, doubt almost everything. ④_______ It will destroy your life and your chances of success.The final interior enemy is over caution. Timidity （怯懦）is not a virtue; it’s an illness. If you let it go, it’ll conquer you. Timid people don’t get promoted. They don’t advance andgrow and become powerful in the marketplace. You’ve got to avoid over caution.Do battle with the enemy. Do battle with your fears. ⑤_______ Be courageous in your life and in your pursuit of the things you want and the person you want to become.A. Worst of all, they doubt themselves.B. It will steal your chances for a better future.C. Fear, if left unchecked, can destroy our lives.D. Whatever is out to get you, you’ve got to get it.E. It can be useful and drives you forward if you cope with it properly.F. Build your courage to fight what’s keeping you from your goals and dreams.G. But once you learn to avoid that situation, you won’t need to live in fear of it.三、完形填空（20空）“Little Annie” Sullivan, as she was called when she was young, was no stranger tocookies for her and spoke words of love and encouragement.

Reading Comprehension (4 points)Read the passages, then answer the questions that follow. (1 point each )Experiencing Culture ShockA When Eliza James arrived at the University of Xian, she was excited to live in a new country, to improve her Chinese, and to experience a culture so different from her own. But soon her excitement turned tofrustration as she encountered one roadblock after another. "I felt like I couldn't accomplish anything. My dorm room had no heat, I couldn't get into the classes I wanted, and every time I asked someone for help they gave me the runaround. I felt like no one was listening to me." Eliza met with administrators, sent letters of complaint, and even contacted the consulate in Beijing, but she got nowhere. What Eliza didn't realize was that her American approach to solving problems was very different from the Chinese one in which patience and negotiation skills are key. She soon learned how to solve problems within the cultural norms of Chinese society instead of forcing her own values onto those around her. "I finally feel like I fit in and that I know what I'm doing. In fact, it's really fun being in a place that's so incredibly different from what I am accustomed to."B Yoshi Yamamoto is a junior at a small college outside of Boston. Although he is an honors student now, Yoshi didn't always have such an easy time studying in America. "Teaching methods are very different here than they are in Japan. It took me a long time to get used to learning in seminars and discussing ideas with my classmates. At first it seemed like I wasn't actually learning anything." Yoshi's reaction was to totally withdraw: he didn't participate in class discussion; he spent lots of time alone in his room, and he even skipped class on occasion. "I thought I could teach myself. Now I recognize the value of the U.S. academic system, and I am able to adapt it to my own learning style."C Both Eliza and Yoshi experienced what is called culture shock: psychological disorientation due to living in a new culture. For many international students, studying abroad can offer exposure to new cultures and an opportunity to study new fields and languages. However, it also offers the greater challenge of trying to function in a foreign culture. Studying and reading about a certain culture is poor preparation for the reality of living in it. According to psychological studies, the four stages of culture shock are 1. euphoria, 2. hostility, 3. gradual adjustment, and 4. adaptation. Culture shock can be manifested in many ways: homesickness, boredom, stereotyping of or hostility towards the host culture, overeating or overdrinking, withdrawal, and inability to work effectively.D Different people experience different levels of culture shock and react in different ways. For example, Eliza got angry while Yoshi withdrew from society. The most important thing to remember is that culture shock is normal; it is not something to be ashamed of. Luckily, there are some things international students can do to make their adjustment to a new country go more smoothly. For instance, they can stay in touch with family and friends from home, join international student organizations, meet people from their own countries, and get involved in campus activities. Most importantly, they can adjust to life abroad by keeping a sense of humor and trying to remain positive.Recognizing Paragraph Topics（choose the paragraph letter）题目27. an explanation of culture shock选择一项：C.

(1 point each) Seasonal Affective Disorder: More than Just the BluesA Joshua dreads the winter months, not only because of the cold New England weather--the sleet, snow, wind, and rain--but because as the seasons change from summer to fall to winter, the days get shorter. As the days get shorter, he starts feeling depressed and irritable and spends more and more time at home, eating and sleeping. A graduate student in philosophy, Joshua finds that he gets little work done during the winter months and has trouble paying attention in class and concentrating on his research. "I soon realized that what I thought was just the 'winter blues' was something more extreme than that." Josh visited a doctor who diagnosed him with SAD.B Seasonal Affective Disorder, or SAD, is a kind of depression that occurs seasonally. It is associated with the long hours of darkness and lack of sunlight during the winter months (people with SAD usually feel worse from December through February). Scientists don't completely understand the exact causes of SAD, but they believe it is related to a biochemical imbalance in the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus is the basic part of the brain that controls the body's breathing, heartbeat, metabolism, and hormone release. The effects of SAD include moodiness, irritability, low energy, increased appetite for carbohydrates (foods such as potatoes, rice, and bread), difficulty concentrating, and the tendency to oversleep.C Although doctors described SAD for the first time in 1984, humans have probably dealt with the disorder for thousands of years. It is not a coincidence that many cultures have important celebrations during the short days of the winter months. Christmas, Hanukkah, and Winter Solstice celebrations all occur in December. These celebrations involve lighting candles in order to bring light, warmth, and happiness to an otherwise depressing time of year.D So what can SAD sufferers do to feel better? Naturally, they need more light. For people who have mild cases of SAD, exercising in the morning sun could be enough to help them. Phototherapy, or light therapy, is usually prescribed for people who have more serious cases of the disorder. In light therapy, patients sit in front of a light box, a strong artificial light, for up to four hours a day. Phototherapy is effective in over 80% of SAD cases, and patients usually see results within three to four days. Although the symptoms of SAD are similar to those of clinical depression, traditional antidepressants have not proven useful in treating SAD. While psychological counseling cannot treat the symptoms of SAD, it is recommended to help SAD sufferers learn to accept and deal with their illness.题目26. Joshua starts feeling depressed and irritable in the winter because选择一项：B. he suffers from Seasonal Affective Disorder题目37.

Reading Comprehension (5 points)Read the passages, then answer the questions that follow. (1 point each )Fast food can be good foodMany people are too busy to prepare and eat three nutritious meals a day.so they turn to the convenience of fast-food restaurants. Many of the items at fast-food restaurants, snack bars, and food stands are fattening and not very nutritious.But fast food d oesn’t have to be unhealthy.you can eat at fast-food restaurants and still eat well.Pay Attention to Calories and Fat ContentBy paying attention to the number of calories and fat that a food item has ,you can make smarter choices.Calories are “units for measuring how much energy a food will produce”.condsider two fast-food meals. A quarter-pound hamburger with cheese, jumbo-size fries,and a 16-ounce soda have a total of 1,535 calories and 76 grams of fat .a broiled (cooked under direct heat or over a flame )chicken sandwich ,a side salad with low-fat dressing,and a glass of water at the same fast-food restaurant have only 422 calories and 7 grams of fat .but maybe you really want a hamburger and fries .well,you can have a small hamburger,a small serving o f fries,and a glass of water.At a total of 490 calories and 20 grams of fat,that’s stilla much smarter choice than the large burger ,fries,and 20 grams of fat ,that’s still a much smarter choice than the large burger,fries,and sada.There’s More That You Can DoThere are a few additional things you can do to make sure you eat well in fast food restaurantS.First of all,say “no” when the cashier asks you if you want to “supersize” you meal (order an extra large portion of each item).Second, ask for no mayonnaise or sauce,or ask for it on the side (in a separate dish).Third,substitute(use something instead of something else)healthy foods for fatty ones. For example,instead of ordering deep-fried tempura,order fresh vegetables.Instead of ordering a beef burrito with lots of cheese and sour cream,order a vegetable burrito with beans and rice.and don’t eat the chips!Another thing you can do is order a side salad or a vegetable soup and eat it first.That way,you will eat some vegetables,and you won’t be able to eat as much of your burger and fries.Fnally,eat slowly and stop eating when you’re full. It sounds simple,but many people keep eating even after they become full.题目11.What is the main idea of this article ?________选择一项：C.

Vocabulary skills（2 points）Read the paragraph below and fill in each blank with a word from the box. (0.4 points each)题目6changes damaging losing global availableThe growing similarities in diet and eating habits around the world are influencing people of various cultures in different ways. For example, Western foods are 6 damaging health in the industrialized island country of Japan. Instead of small meals of seafood, rice, and vegetables, the typical Japanese diet now includes large amounts of meat, dairy products, and desserts like tiramisu, a rich Italian dish full of chocolate, cheese, and sugar. According to Japanese health researchers, such 7 changes in eating habits are related to a great increase in health problems such as heart disease, strokes, cancer, and diabetes. On the other hand, the changing 8 global diet is having the opposite effect on the people in the CzechRepublic. The government of this European nation no longer supports meat and dairy products financially, so the cost of these foods is going up. In contrast, fresh fruits and vegetables are becoming more widely 9 available from private markets and stands. Cooks are even serving salads to schoolchildren, and families are eating healthier home-cooked meals. For these reasons, fewer Czech men are having heart attacks, the women are 10 losing a lot of weight, and most people are living healthier lives.Chapter 4 Exercise（分值7分I.

Reading Comprehension (5 points)Complete the following statements by choosing the best from the answers A, B, C, or D. (1 point each)These days, it’s getting easier and easier to find your way around. Some people have GPS devices in their cars to make sure they don’t get lost. GPS stands for Global Positioning System. These devices use satellites in space to “see” where you are and give you directions to where you want to go. And if you don’t have a GPS device, you can simply go online to get step-by-step directions. Websites like and can produce a map and directions in just a few seconds. But how do they do it? MapQuest® uses data (informatio n) from a few different sources to produce directions and maps. Before MapQuest® went online, it sold regular paper maps in places like gas stations. The website uses the data from those paper maps, information from digital mapping companies, and government databases. At the moment, MapQuest® uses more than 30 computers to read all this data and provides users with millions of maps every day.In order to find the best route (way or path) from one place to another, MapQuest® first has to look at all possible routes. Then MapQuest® looks at each part of each possible route. It considers the types of roads on the different routes. Are they dirt roads, paved roads, freeways, or city streets? It looks at how many turns there are in each route and what kinds of turns they are. Are they right turns or left turns? It also considers the speed limit on each road and how many intersections there are. An intersection is “a place where two or more roads cross each other”.MapQuest® can also tell you how long your trip will take you. It does this by doing some math. MapQuest® bases its estimated driving times on the length and speed limit of each part of the route and the amount of time it probably takes to get through each intersection. For example, it allows more time for a left turn at an intersection than it does for a right turn. Someday, maybe we will have cars that can just drive us wherever we want to go, but for now, mapping websites make it a little harder to get lost.题目26.What is the main idea of this article?选择一项：C. How mapping websites work.题目37.According to the article, MapQuest®______选择一项：D. starting by selling paper maps.题目48.When you search for directions, the first thing MapQuest® does is_______选择一项：D. look at all possible paths.题目59.When it’s deciding on the best route, MapQuest® probably chooses ________选择一项：C. freeways instead of dirt roads.题目610. To estimate your driving time, MapQuest® considers _________选择一项：D. the speed limits and types of turns on your route.Chapter 5 Exercise（分值7分）I.

( 0.4 points each)题目6living extended category typical believeThe Family of the FutureMany people today would like the traditional two-parent family back—that is to say, they want a man and a woman to marry for life; they also think the man should sport the family and the woman should stay home with the children. However, few families now fall into this 6 category In fact, if more women decide to have children on their own, the single-parent household may become more 7typica l than the traditional family in many countries. Also, unmarried couples may decided to have more children—or they might take in foster children or adopt. And because people are staying single and 8 living longer (often as widows), there may be more one-person households in the future. On the other hand, some people 9believe similar events happen again and again in history. If this is true, people may go back to the traditional 10 extended or nuclear family of the past. Others think the only certainty in history is changing: in other words, the structure of the future family could begin to change faster and faster—and in more and more ways.Chapter 6 Exercise（分值7分）I.

In business situations, these blunders can cost a lot of money or end business relationships.6.It is important to understand other people’s cultures before you do business with them.选择一项：B. T题目7For example, one company wanted to sell toothpaste in Southeast Asia. In their advertisements, they claimed that their toothpaste whitens teeth. They didn’t understand that many of the local people chewed betel nuts to make their teeth black, and that these people thought black teeth were attractive.7. The toothpaste company probably kept using the same advertisement in Southeast Asia.选择一项：题目8In an other case, a car company tried to sell a car called “Matador” in a Spanish-speaking country. The company thought that it was a strong name because it means “bullfighter”. In Spanish, matador is indeed a noun meaning “bullfighter”. But it is also an adjective meaning “killing”. Imagine driving around in a car called “Killing”!8. The car company that tried to sell a car to a Spanish-speaking country probably didn’t sell many Matador cars in that country.选择一项：B.

T题目10It’s very easy to make blunders like these people did. But it’s also very easy not to. Before you visit a new country, research that country’s customs and etiquette (social rules for polite behavior). You can find a lot of information online. Just go to a search engine and type in key words like “cross-cultural etiquette” or “cultural information Taiwan”. By spending a few minutes doing research, you can save yourself from a lot of embarrassment and make sure you don’t accidentally offend anyone.10.

These happy senior citizens, some of them over the age of 90, claim that the natural fruit juice cures—or at least decreases—the pain of their arthritis, a 6 disease of the joints of the aging body. It’s a folk remedy, not a proven medical therapy. Nevertheless, science is beginning to 7 figure out why sour cherry juice might work to improve the health of patients with arthritis. The secret is in the 8 substance that gives the cherries their dark red color. It belongs to a 9 classification of natural nutrients that color blueberries, strawberries, plums, and other fruits—and vegetables too. Moreover, these coloring substances may help to 10 prevent serious health disorders like heart disease and cancer. In other words, vitamins and fiber ar e not the only reasons to eat fruits and vegetables. “To take advantage of natural whole foods,” advise nutritionists.Chapter 8 Exercise（分值7分）I.

Reading Comprehension (5 points)Complete the following sentences by choosing the best from the answers A, B, C, or D. (1 point each)AEveryone makes mistakes, or so the saying goes. But have you ever heard about mistakes in Hollywood? When most people think of Hollywood, they think of blockbusters (very successful movies), high-paid actors, glitz, and glamour. But according to one Website, many Hollywood movies are full of mistakes. Some are technical errors. For instance, in a scene of the science-fiction adventure film The Matrix, when the main character steps out of his car, the viewer can clearly see the camera crew in the car window. In another scene, the same character is typing on his computer, yet the computer screen is blank. Other movie mistakes are historical. For example, the epic Gladiator, an Oscar winner, is known for having lots of historical errors. Throughout the movie, the gladiator Maximus refers to his home in Spain, and the other characters call him "the Spaniard." However, in 180 A.D., when the movie takes place, Spain as a country or even as a concept didn't exist yet. At another point in the movie, Maximus says that his homeland of Spain has "the best horses." But horses weren't brought to the Iberian Peninsula until the invasion of the Moors (North Africans) in 711 A.D, more than 500 years after the movie takes place. The historical drama Titanic, another Oscar winner, also has its share of historical blunders. The Titanic sunk in the year 1912. So why is one of the characters wearing a digital watch? In fact, movie watchers have found over 100 mistakes in The Matrix, Gladiator, and Titanic. Can you think of any errors in your favorite films?BHow susceptible are you to advertising? Has a TV commercial or magazine ad ever made you buy the product that was advertised? If so, perhaps you have been subjected to subliminal advertising. Subliminal advertising is a kind of advertising that appeals to the subconscious. The word "subliminal" comes from the Latin "sub" meaning "lower," "beneath," or "under," and "limen" meaning "threshold," (the level at which something begins to happen). Thus, subliminal advertising stimulates your brain at a level below conscious perception. You。

The Most Dangerous Gameby Richard Connell最危险的游戏文章赏析【写在前面】《最危险的游戏》（The Most Dangerous Game）是美国著名短篇小说家理查德·康奈尔（Richard Connell）的代表作，曾在1924年获得欧·亨利短篇小说奖，也是众多英语教材的常用文章。
小说改编的惊悚电影还曾在威尼斯电影节展映，情节与小说有所不同但故事同样非常精彩。
我是在看完电影后看到这篇文章的，感觉更能体会小说情节的精彩刺激和紧凑连贯。
《最危险的游戏》主要讲述了美国著名的动物猎手Rainsford在乘船去往亚马逊河流域打猎的途中，船意外撞到礁石，沉入大海，船上的船员除Rainsford外，无一幸存。
Rainsford凭借非凡的毅力和勇气，游到了一座附近的荒岛——“捕船岛”，在那他遇到了荒岛的主人——前沙皇俄国将军Zaroff。
Zaroff爱好打猎，但是性格怪异、凶残，他买下这座岛屿，故意引导那些失事的船只上的船员来到这里，并以那些因船沉而逃生到岛上的人作为打猎的对象，以猎“人”为乐，以这种生死较量的游戏作为生活下去的精神力量。
Rainsford是一名有着丰富打猎经验的猎手，他智勇双全，虽然单身一人进入孤岛，没有任何武器、没有任何帮手，但是他仍然冷静而沉着地面对残酷的对手——Zaroff将军，最终，Rainsford化险为夷战胜了将军，赢得了这场游戏，并赢得了生存的权利。
【题目赏析】Game本来具有就有“猎物”，“竞赛”和“游戏”的多重意思；在题目中的game 是个双关语（Pun），既指Rainsford 这个人，因为在文章中他是将军的猎物，又指游戏，即狩猎本身这项游戏，就如将军所说的outdoor chess。
同时我认为game也可以理解为是将军和Rainsford之间的竞争，也是正义与邪恶的竞争。
【正文赏析】"General," said Rainsford firmly, "I wish to leave this island at once." （表现了Rainsford急于离岛的心情）The general raised his eyebrows; he seemed hurt. "But, my dear fellow," the general protested, "you've only just come. You've had no hunting--"【翻译】“将军，我想马上离开这个岛。
”Rainsford坚定地说。
将军很惊讶，似乎因为Rainsford 的话受到了打击，“但是，我的朋友”将军反对到，“你才刚刚到这里。
你还没有在这个岛上狩猎。
”【分析】1.Raise one’s eyebrows字面意义是扬起眉毛，引申意义是感到惊讶，反对等。
在这里用来表明将军对Rainsford 的话感到惊讶。
因为将军好不容易棋逢对手，非常想要和Rainsford一较高下，他心里认为Rainsford这样伟大和经验丰富的猎人不可能对岛上刺激的狩猎活动不感兴趣。
补充：There were a lot of eyebrows raised at the news of the financial minister’s dismissal.财政部长被免职的消息引起众人的惊讶。
Penciled eyebrows 秀眉2.Hurt痛苦的，使受伤，疼痛。
既可以指身体上的伤害，也可以表示情感上的伤害。
这里表示将军因为Rainsford的话而感到受了打击。
将军很期待和Rainsford一起狩猎，并认为Rainsford会对此很感兴趣，但没想到Rainsford却想着离开，这让将军感到不快。
补充：Hurt one’s feeling 伤害某人的情感It never hurts to ask.多问无妨。
3.Protest表示抗议，反对，断言。
有极其强烈的情感含义。
在这里表示极力挽留，体现了将军独断强势。
补充：Protest that申明Protest against 抗议Under protest 不情愿，被迫的"I wish to go today," said Rainsford. He saw the dead black eyes of the general on him, studying him. General Zaroff's face suddenly brightened.（表达了将军心理的变化，他下定决心一定要留下Rainsford并且对自己很有信心）"Tonight," said the general, "we will hunt--you and I."Rainsford shook his head. "No, general," he said. "I will not hunt."【翻译】“我今天就要离开”Rainsford说。
他发现将军正用那双漆黑的眼睛打量着自己。
突然，Zaroff将军的脸上露出了一些喜色，似乎有了什么好主意。
“就今晚，我们去打猎——你和我两个人。
”将军说。
（根据故事发生的背景及情景语境的理解，此处将军的提议不是两个人都站在狩猎者的位置共同去捕获动物，而是他们两个人之间捕获与被捕获之间的较量，是将军做为猎人去狩猎自己的Rainsford，体现了将军真实意图的残忍与险恶。
)Rainsford摇了摇头说，“不，将军，我是不会和你去打猎的。
”【分析】1.Study研究，考虑，详细的检查。
用在这里表示打量，将军打量着Rainsford，仿佛在打量着猎物一般。
表明了将军对Rainsford的行为感到不解，不明白他为什么会对岛上的狩猎不敢兴趣，同时也表明了将军作为一个猎人的强烈欲望，他在研究Rainsford，希望能够征服他。
补充：His face was a study. 他的表情非常耐人寻味。
2.BrightenedBrighten 使快乐，使发亮，使好转。
补充：Brighten upHe brighten up a bit. 他高兴一点了。
It is undeniable that the economic picture is brightening.不可否认经济状况正在好转。
The general shrugged his shoulders and delicately. "As you wish, my friend," he said. "The choice rests entirely with you. But may I not venture to suggest that you will find my idea of sport more interesting than Ivan's?"He nodded toward the corner to where the giant stood, scowling, his thick arms crossed on his hogshead of chest.【翻译】将军不以为然的耸了耸肩，语气微妙地说，“随你的便，我的朋友，这完全取决于。
但是我要提醒阁下，我的娱乐方式可比Ivan的好多了。
”（这里指Ivan以鞭笞人为乐，不参与游戏就只能被Ivan鞭笞，实际是在威胁Rainsford）将军朝墙角Ivan站的地方点了下头。
只见巨人般的Ivan面色阴沉，两只粗壮的手臂交叉在他宽厚的胸前。
【分析】1.Shrug one’s shoulder 押韵的短语。
可以表示无奈，冷淡，怀疑。
在这里表示不以为然。
2.Delicately优美的，精致的，微妙的在这里表示将军微妙地说。
暗含了威胁的语气。
补充：Delicate 也可以表示柔弱的，易碎的。
She was physically delicate and psychologically unstable.她身体孱弱，心理上也不稳定。
Delicate/Fine balance 微妙的平衡，常被用于形容政治局势和生态环境。
The European members are afraid of upsetting the delicate balance of political interests.3.Rest with/upon取决于，责任在于补充：Depends on/opon取决于Hinge on 取决于Does not success or failure hinge on this? 成败之机,其在斯乎?4.Venture to 体现将军极度礼貌，找茬的语气，表明将军杀人为乐的个性He was accused of having no sense of humor, of not being a good sport. 他被指责缺乏幽默感，不够大度。
5.Sport除了表示运动，还可以表示开朗大度的人，或者作动词，表示炫耀，惹人注目。
His shoes sported elevated heels. 他惹人瞩目的穿着高跟鞋。
补充：A sport 开朗大度的人He was accused of having no sense of humor, of not being a good sport. 他被指责缺乏幽默感，不够大度。
6.Scowl 作怒容，绷着脸He was drinking his double whiskey too fast and scowling. 他猛灌着双份威士忌，脸色阴沉。
补充：也可以做名词。
Chris met the remark with a scowl. 克里斯听到这句话，脸沉了下来。
7.Hogshead 啤酒桶Hogshead of chest 宽厚的胸膛（大啤酒桶一般的）"You don't mean--" cried Rainsford."My dear fellow," said the general, "have I not told you I always mean what I say about hunting? This is really an inspiration." The general raised his glass, but Rainsford sat staring at him."You'll find this game worth playing," the general said enthusiastically." Your brain against mine. Your woodcraft against mine. Your strength and stamina against mine. Outdoor chess!(棋在西方文化中有很高的文化意义，用在这里形容将军和Rainsford之间的竞争非常贴切)And the stake is not without value, eh?"（这里的表达方式体现了将军的残酷）【翻译】“你不会是认真的吧…”Rainsford惊呼道。
