6.Americans think time is money.They say,"You only get so much time in this life; you'd better use it (61)wisely(wise)."Americans (62)are trained(train) to use their time for constructive activities,(63)soAmericans admire a"well-organized"person,(64)whohas a written list of things to do and a schedule for doing them.They do not waste people's time with conversations or other activities that have no visible beneficial result.
The American attitude (65)to/toward(s)time is not necessarily shared by others,especially non-Europeans.Non-Europeans are more likely(66)to regard(regard) time as something that is simply there around them,(67)not/rather than/instead ofsomething of great value.In this background,the fast food industry can be seen as a clear example of American cultural product.McDonald's,KFC,and other fast food(68)companies(company) are successful in a country where many people want to spend the(69)least(little) amount of time preparing and eating meals.As McDonald's restaurants spread around the world,they have been viewed as symbols of American society and culture,(70)bringing(bring) not just hamburgers but speed,efficiency(效率),and shiny cleanliness.

分析 美國(guó)人認(rèn)為時(shí)間就是金錢(qián),他們說(shuō),"你這一生中只有那么些時(shí)間;你最好明智地加以運(yùn)用."由于美國(guó)人被訓(xùn)練使用時(shí)間來(lái)進(jìn)行建設(shè)性的活動(dòng).所以美國(guó)人欣賞"有條理"的人,這些人有一份要做事情的清單以及來(lái)完成這些事情的時(shí)間安排表.他們不會(huì)在交談上或是在其他不見(jiàn)效益的活動(dòng)上浪費(fèi)大家的時(shí)間.
美國(guó)人對(duì)待時(shí)間的態(tài)度未必適用于其他人,尤其非歐洲人.非歐洲人很可能認(rèn)為時(shí)間無(wú)處不在,沒(méi)有利用價(jià)值.在這種背景下,快餐業(yè)可以看作是美國(guó)文化產(chǎn)物的一個(gè)明顯的例子.麥當(dāng)勞、肯德基以及其他快餐店在一個(gè)國(guó)家很受歡迎,因?yàn)檫@個(gè)國(guó)家的人們想把最少量的時(shí)間放在做飯和吃飯上.隨著麥當(dāng)勞餐廳傳播到世界各地,它們已經(jīng)被視為美國(guó)社會(huì)與文化的象征,所帶來(lái)的不僅僅是漢堡包,而是速度,效率和潔凈.

解答 答案:
61.wisely       考查副詞   此處用來(lái)修飾動(dòng)詞use,意為:明智地運(yùn)用;故填副詞wisely
62.a(chǎn)re trained     考查語(yǔ)態(tài)及時(shí)態(tài)     此處在句中作謂語(yǔ),由于動(dòng)詞train與主語(yǔ)Americans 構(gòu)成被動(dòng)關(guān)系,故應(yīng)使用被動(dòng)語(yǔ)態(tài);根據(jù)上文可知,這里講述的是美國(guó)人目前的時(shí)間觀念以及具體的做法,所以此處應(yīng)使用一般現(xiàn)在時(shí)態(tài);故填are trained   
63.so    考查連詞      此處的前后兩句之間表達(dá)的是因果關(guān)系;意為:因?yàn)槊绹?guó)人被訓(xùn)練來(lái)使用時(shí)間進(jìn)行建設(shè)性的活動(dòng).所以美國(guó)人欣賞"有條理"的人;故填so
64.who     考查關(guān)系代詞   根據(jù)句意以及空缺處之前的逗號(hào)可知,本句是非限定性的定語(yǔ)從句;由于先行詞person(指人)在從句中作主語(yǔ),故填關(guān)系代詞who
65.to/toward(s)   考查介詞    此處表示指向性,意為:美國(guó)人對(duì)待時(shí)間的態(tài)度;故填介詞to/toward(s) 
66.to regard       考查固定結(jié)構(gòu)"be more likely to do sth"意為:很可能做某事;故填to regard      
67.not/rather than/instead of    本句的意思是:非歐洲人很可能認(rèn)為時(shí)間無(wú)處不在,沒(méi)有利用價(jià)值;此處表達(dá)了否定的含義;故填  not/rather than/instead of    
68.companies   考查名詞   此處指的是其他的一些快餐公司、企業(yè);故用名詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式 companies
69.least   考查形容詞的最高級(jí)   此處用在定冠詞the之后,修飾名詞time;意為:最少量的時(shí)間;故填least 
70.bringing   考查現(xiàn)在分詞    此處在句中作伴隨狀語(yǔ),由于動(dòng)詞bring與其邏輯主語(yǔ)McDonald's restaurants 構(gòu)成主謂關(guān)系;指的是:麥當(dāng)勞餐廳所帶來(lái)的不僅僅是漢堡包;故填bringing

點(diǎn)評(píng) 本題主要考查了各種語(yǔ)法在短文中的具體運(yùn)用.做本題時(shí),需要在正確理解短文的前提下,逐句分析句意以及所考查到的語(yǔ)法現(xiàn)象;因此在平時(shí)的學(xué)習(xí)中,應(yīng)熟練掌握各種語(yǔ)法知識(shí),其中包括詞法,句法,各種時(shí)態(tài)語(yǔ)態(tài)以及虛擬語(yǔ)氣等.

8.Land Art,sometimes referred to as Earth Art or Earthworks,is a form of art which involves using physical landscapes to create art,taking art out of the museum and into the outside world.Modern Land Art movement really got going in the 1960s,when American artists began creating Land Art on a large scale.Today,works of modern Land Art can be seen all over the world,sometimes right alongside much older pieces of Land Art created by people who lived thousands of years ago.
    Land Art,which is not necessarily unchangeable,can take a number of forms.For example,in 1970 Robert Smithson created the Spiral Jetty (螺旋狀防波堤),made of a collection of stones and mud,in the Great Salt Lake.The American artist made a large jetty in a spiral shape which sticks out into the waters of the lake.
    Reshaping the landscape is a common characteristic of Land Art,which can be created by moving parts around.People can also add things to the environment to create Land Art,like salt,which is added to the Spiral Jetty.It is possible to use plants.In all cases,Land Art is immovable.
    Land Art is designed to gradually form,change,and eventually decay(衰落).That's one of the biggest differences between Land Art and most of the art one sees in the museums.Some works of art can exist only for a few hours or days.Others are exposed to rain and wind so that they develop and decay over time,which is part of the attractiveness in the eyes of the artists.
28.What can be learned from the first paragraph?D
A.Land Art was the most popular art in the 1960s.
B.Land Art aims to get people interested in nature.
C.American artists were the first to create Land Art.
D.People have been creating Land Art for thousands of years.
29.What do we know about Robert Smithson?A
A.He is a great creative artist.
B.He lives near the Great Salt Lake.
C.He made the most famous Land Art.
D.He was a pioneer in creating Land Art.
30.One of the unique characteristics of Land Art lies inB.
A.it shows the extreme beauty of nature
B.it develops and decays gradually over time
C.it combines the landscapes around completely
D.it offers the artists a chance to get close to nature
31.What is the passage mainly about?D
A.Works of Land Art.
B.History of Land Art.
C.Changes of Land Art.
D.Introduction of Land Art.

1.A.Track Your Page Count
B.Keep a Record of Your Time
C.Team Up and Read Socially
D.Take Advantage of Technology
E.Set a Goal to Encourage Yourself
F.Treat Yourself in One Way or Another

How to Train Yourself to Read More
Between work,a social life,your family,television and the Internet,it can be difficult to find time to read more.Reading is important,however,for a range of reasons:It improves cognitive (認(rèn)知) ability,enriches vocabulary,helps with spelling and increases general knowledge.Just having an intention to read more won't guarantee you actually do it,though.You need a series of strategies,exploring a way to train yourself to read more.
61.B
You don't need expensive training programs or software to train to read more; all you really need is a timer.Consider how much free time you have in a day,then set aside part of that time for reading.Make sure this is a feasible (可行的) goal--start small,say,30minutes.Each day,use your timer and read for the amount of time you set.After a week,increase your time.The increase doesn't have to be much,perhaps an additional 15minutes.As weeks go by,continue adding the same small amount to your reading time.Before you know it,you'll be reading for two or three hours per day.
62.A
Before you begin training to read more,take a week or two to measure how many pages you read on average per week.Once you've gotten an idea of your baseline reading amount,increase it slowly.Try to read at least an additional 5-10pages per week.You'll probably be able to sneak these pages into your normal schedule without too much effort.You could,for example,read when you find yourself waiting or during meals if you're alone.Or you could try turning off the television a little earlier each day.Keep track of how many pages you've read each week so you can see your progress.
63.D
Technology doesn't have to be the enemy of the written word; in fact,you can make use of your electronic devices.Invest in an e-reader,if you can,or use a tablet to read books.This will save you having to carry around a heavy book,and because you can put multiple books on an e-reader or tablet,you'll always have plenty to read.You can also load books onto your smart phone so that you can read when you have a few spare minutes.
64.F
Although you might begin training to read more with excitement or enthusiasm,these can quickly disappear if you don't devise a method of rewarding or motivating yourself.These rewards don't have to be large or expensive.You could reward yourself with something,such as chocolate or a small gift,each time you hit a reading goal,whether this is number of pages or amount of reading time.Or,if you're feeling charitable (有善心),donate a small sum of money to your favorite cause each time you hit your goal.
65.C
Reading is mainly an individual activity,but there are social sides you can tap into to keep you motivated to read more.Join a local book club,and if your library or town doesn't have one,start your own.Share with other book lovers or learn more about your favorite books by joining sites such as Goodreads,PaperBack Swap or BookLamp,if you decide to participate in websites for book enthusiasts.However,be sure that your reading time isn't eaten up by surfing the Internet.
