解析
试题分析:短文大意:欢迎来到我们的罕见的墨西哥灰狼展览!现在布鲁克菲尔德动物园有五只年轻的雄狼。这次展览是被分成两个区域,室内和室外。
小题1:本题相对来说比较容易,根据句子意思“展览…两个区域,室内和室外部分”,所以答案为“被分成两个部分”,这里是“被动语态”,所以答案为divided。
小题2:根据单词所在句子意思“室内展览区域很小,所以会变得拥挤”,情态动词can后面有动词become,所以中间应填一个修饰“会变得拥挤”的副词。根据意思,答案为easily。
小题3:根据单词所在句子意思“你能……一个单方向的玻璃看见狼”,所以这里需要一个介词,根据学生经验“透过玻璃”,所以答案为through。
小题4:根据单词所在句子意思“感觉到像在一个黑暗而……的森林里”,所以肯定填一个与dark相对应的形容词,诸如像“恐惧的”之类单词,所以本题答案为dangerous。
小题5:根据单词所在句子意思“大约一分半钟后,在森林里的狼……你前面的墙”,所以这里需要填一个动词,前面讲述“黑暗而危险”的场景,然后就是狼出现在面前,所以本题答案为appear,而且需要考虑的是“一般现在时”。
小题6:根据单词所在句子意思“这对于……爱好者来说是一个超乎寻常的经历”,所以应该填一个名词,诸如像“动物爱好者”,然后“森林”、“动物”我们会得出本题的答案为nature。注意不能填natural。
小题7:根据单词所在句子意思“学习狼常用的捕猎技巧”,所以答案不难。但是需要考虑名词的单复数,首先skill是可数名词,其次,前面有修饰词different,所以本题答案为skills。

Then I read his book, We Are All the Same, about his friendship with Xolani Nkosi, a South African boy who became the international spokesman for AIDS(艾滋病). It is about the friendship between Wooten and a black child who was ten years old and already dying of AIDS. It is also a book about a great teacher and his student. But the teacher-the one with real wisdom and understanding about life-is the little boy, not the journalist. And, finally, it’s about a love story of Gail Johnson, Nkosi’s white mother who does her best to save the boy, and their love for each other. When reading the book, I felt touched from time to time.

The 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.’ Understatement is often used in 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 accidently 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 (喜剧) about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedies series Mr Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.
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.
小题1:Is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes?
小题2:What does ‘understatement’ mean?
小题3:What do the British love to watch comedies about?
小题4:How does Mr Bean make people laugh?
小题5:What are the key points for people to understand British humour?
Different cultures emphasize(强调)the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in “small talk”, usually over a glass of tea, before they do any job. In many European countries—like the UK or France—people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural(多元文化)environment will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.

B.the English prefer to make long speeches |
C.even talk and silence can be culturally different |
D.people from Thailand are quiet and shy by nature |

What would be the best title for the passage?A.Multicultural Environment |

For their ancestors, largely in rural areas, it was a major annual festival and was celebrated(庆祝) through out the country, especially on the first day of May with music, dancing and games.
How was May Day Celebrated in the past?
May Day began early in the morning. People went out before sunrise in order to gather flowers and plants to make their houses and villages beautiful in the belief that the vegetation spirits(神灵) would bring good luck.
A traditional May Day dance is Maypole Dancing,On May Day, people used to cut down young trees and stick them in the ground in the village to mark the arrival of summer.People danced around the tree poles in celebration of the end of winter and the start of the fine weather that would allow planting to begin. Maypoles are still a part of some
village life and on May Day the villagers dance around it.
May Day celebrations have their origins(起源) in the Roman festival of Flora, goddess(女神) of fruit and flowers, which marked the beginning of summer. So the highlight of the day was the crowning(为…加冕) of the May Queen(女皇), the human replica (模型) of Flora. By tradition she took no part in the games or dancing, but sat like a queen in a flower-decked chair to watch her "subjects".
Ever since 1978, for the convenience of the general public, many May Day activities have now been moved to the new May Day holiday on the first Monday of the month. This Monday is a bank holiday, a day off school and work. There are more intereting celebrations on this day.
