[例3]

Do animals have a culture? What do we mean by “culture”？Recently social scientists have begun to ask if culture is found just in humans,or if some animals have a culture,too. When we speak of culture,we mean a way of life that a group of people have in common. Culture is the forms of behavior (行為) that help people to live together. It is also the forms of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.

Human beings use tools,cooperate with one another,and communicate with languages. But these aspects (方面) of human behavior,or “culture,can also be found in the lives of certain a-nimals. Animals can make tools,for example. We used to think that the ability to use tools was the dividing line between human beings and other animals. Lately,however,we have found that this is not the case. Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to com- j municate. So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think. (2012山西C篇)

()l. According to the article ,“culture” means .

   A. the languages we learn 

   B. the good habits we share with each other

   C. the forms of behavior we have in common

() 2. From the fact that chimpanzees can use and make tools,we know .

   A. animals may have a culture like our own

   B. animals can be as clever as human beings

   C. animals have the ability to help human beings

() 3. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the article?

   A. Chimpanzees never help each other.

   B. Animals use their own language to communicate.

   C. People from different places have the same culture.

() 4. The traditional idea about dividing animals from human beings is that .

   A. human beings can use tools

   B. human beings can depend on each other

   C. human beings have the language to communicate

() 5. The main idea of the article is that .

   A. the animal culture is different from the human culture

   B. knowledge and communication are no longer signs of only human behavior

   C. the line dividing human culture from animal culture is not as dear as we might think

分析：1.選 推理判斷題。在第一段中關(guān)于culture作者用了下定義的方法解釋。“When we speak of culture,we mean a way of life that a group of people have in common. Culture is the forms of behavior (行為) that help people to live together. It is also the forms of behavior that make one group of people different from another group."

2. 選 推理判斷題。在推理的時候要關(guān)注表示作者觀點的詞，尤其是表示轉(zhuǎn)折的連詞“ however,it is important that. 從原文中“Lately, however,we have found that this is not the case. So it may be important for us to know that the line dividing us from animals is not as clear as we used to think. ”可以推測出答案。

3. 選 細節(jié)理解題。從原文中最后一段“Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to communicate. ”可以得出答案。

4. 選 細節(jié)理解題。這里要注意詞的轉(zhuǎn)化。問題中用的是“the traditional idea”，在原文中是沒有原詞出現(xiàn)的，需要考生注意到“We used to think”同義詞的替換

5. 選 主旨大意題。在尋找主旨句時候考生要注意到表示作者論點的句子多出現(xiàn)在句首或句末，本文通過大猩猩的例子，論證出動物和人的區(qū)別也未必就是會使用工具，因為文章最后一句為主旨句。

Why is setting goals (目標) important? Because goals can help you do and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you,goals allow you to make your life happen.

Successful people in life imagine how their life should be and set lots of goals. 1 It's like having a sign to show you where you want to go.

Think of it in this way. There are two drivers. One has a place to go to clearly in mind which can be found on a map. He can drive straight there surely without any wasted time. The other driver has no goal,or a map. 2 But he drivers aimlessly (無目的地) around,never getting anywhere,just u-sing up oil. Which driver do you want to be?

3 They decide what they want in life and then get there by setting goals and making plans. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren't difficult to set,and they aren^ difficult to reach. 4 You are the one who must decide what to achieve and in what direction to aim your life.

Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it.

5 They are harder to forget. Also when you write your goals in your own way,you are a-ble to make yourself realize situations that will bring you nearer to your goal.

根據(jù)材料內(nèi)容，從下面五個選項中選出能填入文中空缺處的最佳選項，使短文意思通順、內(nèi)容完整。

   A. Written goals can be reviewed usually.

   B. He starts off at the same time from the same place.

   C. Ifs up to you to find out what your goals really are.

   D. By setting goals you are taking control of your life.

   E. Winners in life set goals and follow through on them.
