　　Ⅲ.阅读理解

　　American culture is unique because it is formed and developed under certain conditions.The major factors contributing to the making of this flew nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment, ethnic diversity(多民族) and plural religion, which is quite different from other nations in the world.What is more, these elements are still influencing the American culture.

　　The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of America. From 1607 to 1892, frontiers were pushed further west.The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise, opportunity and freedom.Actually they looked for a better life.So individualism(个人主义), self­reliance, and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage(遗产) of America.

　　In history, people from different countries in the world rushed to America three times.They brought their own culture to America and later on，different cultures were mixed together.Thus the unique American culture is formed，a common cultural life with commonly shared values.

　　The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the fight of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States.The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism; almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States.

　　Nowadays, we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society.American family is typically parents and their unmarried children.Middle­aged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children.The people in America have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place.Quite a number of people change residences every year.The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime.

　　36．American culture is unique because of the following factors EXCEPT________.

　　A．hard environment

　　B．ethnic diversity

　　C．plural religion

　　D．advanced modernization

　　37．We can learn from this article that________.

　　A．the frontiersmen left important society values for American culture

　　B．the early immigrants brought about the unique American culture

　　C．people in the world once rushed to America because of its unique culture

　　D．the American family members don't get along well with each other

　　38．What's the author's attitude towards American culture?

　　A．He is critical of it.

　　B．He admires it very much.

　　C．He just states the facts.

　　D．He looks down upon it.

　　39．The last paragraph is about________.

　　A．the family structure in American society

　　B．the influence of the three elements in the current American society

　　C．the new life style of American family

　　D．the reason why American people like to change residences

　　答案

　　课时作业(三十六)

　　Ⅰ.1.B　考查表语从句。下句意为：这正是我们应该互相帮助的地方。where引导表语从句，其他选项不合题意。

　　2．A　考查表语从句。where引导表语从句，表示那就是她们的错误所在。

　　3．C　考查宾语从句。本题中的动词miss后接了一个宾语从句，又由于动词call后需要接双宾语，故选用what在该宾语从句中充当宾语从句中动词call的宾语。

　　4．B　考查表语从句。从句子结构看，该词需要引导表语从句并充当该表语从句中be动词的表语，所以用what。what在此相当于the house that。

　　5．D　考查形容词辨析。句意：他已经67岁了，看起来不可能在那个职位上待很长时间了。A、B选项用于It's impossible/important/necessary/unusual that…句型，that从句常用should＋动词原形，而非would＋动词原形。C项不符合题意，故选D。

　　6．D　考查交际用语。根据Ours is much stronger than theirs可知By no means表示“绝不可能、决不会”符合语境。而Of course表示“当然可以”；It depends表示“看情况而定”；Don't mention it表示“不用谢”，均不符合语境，故排除。

　　7. C　考查主语从句。句意：我从来没有想到你能成功说服他改变主意。It occurs to sb. that…意为：某人突然想到……，其中that引导主语从句，it是形式主语，代替that从句的具体内容。

　　8．B　考查倒装和动词的时态。否定副词nowhere位于句首，句子使用倒装结构。从句意看，并没有强调完成的意思，所以也不用完成时态。

　　9．A　考查动词辨析。句意：正如我记得有人所说的：晚上红色的天空预示着第二天晴空万里。所以选indicate “预示”。impress “给人印象”；obtain “获得”；confirm “确认；确定”。

　　10．C　考查冠词用法。第一空the bicycle表示类别。第二空是泛指，表示“一种运输方式”。

　　11．D　考查副词辨析。句中的but表示的是转折意义，由此可知援助与我们预期的相差甚远，表示的是否定含义，所以用nowhere。

　　12．B　考查apply短语的用法。apply to sb.for sth.向某人申请某物。句意：要去美国旅行，你要首先向美国大使馆申请签证。

　　13．C　考查动词辨析和动词的语态。hire表示“雇用”；fire表示“解雇”；dismiss表示“开除”。由语态关系可知，答案选C。句意：据说三个月前受雇的女校长将很快被解雇。

　　14．B　考查定语从句。因为此处关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作宾语，故只能用that，which或省略。

　　15．C　考查介词短语by means of的用法。by means of用；以；依靠。根据上文句意，听话人是通过勤奋才在英语方面很快取得进步的，故选C。

　　Ⅱ.文章介绍了在圣诞节前夕，一位老师和学生之间发生的事情。学生亲手制作的圣诞礼物深深地感动了老师。

　　16．B　考查语境。根据上文By the third year of teaching I'd begun to expect Christmas break more for the school holiday and less for the excitement of the children可知，教学使得作者很疲劳。此处表示“我很疲劳”，故选B。

　　17．D　考查语境。根据下文through the cold into the overly heated school building可知，heavily此处表示“我迎着寒风艰难地走进教学楼”，故选D。

　　18．B　考查语境。根据Twenty­two smiling faces可知，是向老师问候。此处表示“学生向我问候”，故选B。

　　19．A　考查语境。return “归还”；forget “忘记”；ignore “忽略；忽视”；refuse “拒绝”。根据上文学生们对老师的问候可知，此处表示“我还以微笑”，故选A。

　　21．C　考查语境。根据上文第一段的I'd begun to expect Christmas break more for the school holiday可知，此处表示“为圣诞假期做的计划”，故选C。

　　23．D　考查语境。根据下文的gifts followed by a ______ (series) of “Merry Christmas” wishes可知，此处表示“卡片”，故选D。

　　24．C　考查名词辨析。a series of “一连串的；一系列的”；a knowledge of “某一方面的知识”；a collection of “许多的”；a bunch of “一堆；一束”。根据下文of “Merry Christmas” wishes可知，此处表示“一连串的圣诞祝愿”，故选C。

　　28．D　考查语境。call作名词意思为“电话”此处不能用call的动词，因为原句中有动词say了；sound “指各种声音”；shout “大喊大叫”； voice “嗓音”。根据上文的I heard和下文的say my name可知，此处表示“我听到有点紧张的声音在叫我的名字”，故选D。

　　29．A　考查语境。根据上文的small nervous可知，此处表示“这个学生有点害羞”， 故选A。

　　37．A　细节理解题。由第二段的叙述尤其是最后一句可知，美国的早期移民为美国文化留下了包括“individualism(个人主义), self­reliance, and equality of opportunity”在内的社会价值观(society values)。故选A。

　　38．C　推理判断题。纵观全文可以看出，作者只是客观地叙述了美国独特的文化形成的原因、背景，以及当今影响美国文化的三大因素等，并没有对此作出评论，故选C。
