Ⅰ.阅读理解
This was something that I'd wanted to do since I turned 10 and began to consider myself “grown up”.Deciding where to go was difficult. I had to pick somewhere small enough that I wouldn't get too lost. This,and the fact that you can drink from age 16, made Venice a good choice for our trip.
The absence of cars meant that we were less likely to be run over, and the landmark of the Grand Canal made it easy to find our way around. Venice is small, so everything is within walking distance. My friend, Kat, had been there not long before, and knew the way around a bit.
I had planned to eat nothing but chocolate during the holiday. Instead I found myself living on spaghetti. We spent most of our days wandering around without much purpose — I have parents who like to see everything if they stay with me.
Our evenings were much the same, only colder. I had believed that we would meet lots of new friends, and maybe even some Italian boys, but being unable to speak a word of the language made this difficult. We found a little square filled with Italian students, but soon realized that they came here not to meet people but to drink wine with their friends. We were less disappointed by this discovery than you would have thought — it turns out that cheap wine makes an excellent replacement for friends. By the close of the second day we paid 6 to go into a church and have a look around. We visited the Peggy Guggenheim Museum of Modern Art the next day. I was surprised to find myself enjoying the art — perhaps because for the first time I hadn't been forced into it.
1.Why did the writer choose to travel to Venice
A.Because there was something he wanted to do.
B.Because Venice is small and he wouldn't get lost there.

2.From the article, we can know that ________.
A.the writer liked the art all the time
B.the writer didn't like going to the museum before
C.the writer went everywhere on foot
D.the writer did everything alone
3.The writer was disappointed because ________.
A.he wandered around without much purpose
B.he paid 6 to go into a church
C.the Italian boys were not interested in making new friends

As we all know, different countries have different cultures. The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. __1__
The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are fostered by rivers — the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India. __2__
Then in Tang Dynasty of China, the Chinese culture gradually went overseas to Japan, mixed into the Japanese society and shaped the Japanese culture nowadays. Though a bit different from the Chinese one, it belongs to the same system.
When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain — the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. __3__
Like the Chinese culture, the European one also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't distinguish from the European one a lot.
__4__ Take the language system for example. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race difference count as well. But what's more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference (干扰) from the other.
The differences are everywhere. __5__ But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle (障碍) to the civilization of human being. It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.
A.Let us work together to keep a variety of culture.
B.And these two are well known as the base of the European culture.
C.One important thing is to learn about other cultures.
D.They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.
E.They are obvious and affect people's ways of thinking and their views of the world.
F.At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences.
G.This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.

My dream school starts at 8:30 a.m. and ends at 3:30 p.m. They are three lessons in the morning and two in the afternoon. We didn't need to do so many homework. Therefore, we have more time with after school activities. For example, we can do reading for one and a half hour and play sport for one hour every day.
My dream school look like a big garden. There are all kinds of the flowers and trees around the classroom buildings. We can lie on the grass for a rest, or sat by the lake listening music. The teachers here are kind and helpfully. They are not only our teachers but also our friends.PAGE

G.This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文,不同的国家有不同的文化,介绍了东西方的文化的起源、发展及区别。
1.选G 考查上下文中的逻辑关系。前后两句构成因果关系。根据上一句话的句意“The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot.(东西方的文化在很多方面都是不同的)”,这是因为是两个不同的文化系统。所以答案选G。
2.选D 考查上下文中的逻辑关系。根据上一句话“Both of the two cultures are fostered by rivers — the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India.(这两种文化都是由中国的河流黄河和印度的印度河培育的。)”其中有非常关键的词both, two。另外也根据意思可以知道答案是选D“ They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.(它们帮助这两家文化发展了几百年,形成了自己的风格。)”前后两句形成一种因果关系。
3.选B 考查上下文中的逻辑关系。根据前一句话“This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome(这个文明后来发展成古希腊和古罗马的文化)”,其中的关键词是古希腊和古罗马,也就是欧洲。所以答案是B“And these two are well known as the base of the European culture.(这两者都是欧洲文化的基础)”。
4.选F 考查上下文中的逻辑关系。根据下一句话“Take the language system for example.(以语言系统为例)”,表明下面的内容是举例,再根据“Other causes like human race difference counts as well”可以知道,其中的关键词是difference,所以答案选F“At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences.(同时,一些其他差异增加了文化差异)”。
5.选E 考查上下文中的逻辑关系。画线部分前后句一起翻译的意思是“The differences are everywhere. They are obvious and affect people's ways of thinking and their views of the world. But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful.(差异无处不在。它们明显影响人们的思维方式和世界观,但不同的文化使21世纪更加多姿多彩。)”画线部分与前一句的关系是递进关系,与下一句的关系是转折关系。
