6．The term culture now is more used to describe everything from the fine arts to the outlook of a business group or a sports team．In its original sense，however，culture includes all identifying aspects of a racial group，nation，or empire：its physical environment，history，and traditions，its social rules and economic structure，and its religious beliefs and arts．
The central beliefs and customs of a group are handed down from one generation to another．It is for this reason that most people regard culture as learned rather than innate．People acquire a culture because they are not born with one．The process by which a person develops a taste for regional foods，accented speech，or an outlook on the world over time，therefore，is known as enculturation （文化適應(yīng)）．
Cultures are often identified by their symbols-images that are familiar and coated with meaning．Totem poles （圖騰柱） carved with animals and creative figures suggest aspects of the Native American peoples of the Pacific Northwest but more literally represent specific tribes （部落）．In Asia and India，the color of yellow is connected with temples while in ancient China it was a color only the emperor's family was allowed to wear．Thus，different cultures may respond to a symbol quite differently．For example，to some a flag may represent pride，historical accomplishments，or ideals； to others，however，it can mean danger or oppression．
To individuals unfamiliar with cultures outside their own，the beliefs，behaviors，and artistic expression of other groups can seem strange and even threatening．A society that ranks all other cultures against its own standards is considered to be ethnocentric （from the Greek ethnos，meaning"people，"and kentros，meaning"center"）．A strongly ethnocentric society assumes also that what is different from its own culture is likely to be inferior and，possibly，wrong or evil．
All people are ethnocentric to some degree，and some aspects of ethnocentrism，such as national pride，contribute to a well-functioning society．An appreciation for one's own culture，however，does not prevent acceptance and respect for another culture．History documents the long-term vigour and success of multicultural groups in which people from numerous and various cultural backgrounds live and work together．Extreme ethnocentrism，in contrast，can lead to racism-the belief that it is race and racial origin that account for variations in human character or ability and that one's own race is superior to all others．

74．What does the word"innate"in Paragraph 2 most probably mean？A
A．Instinctive．
B．Developed．
C．Believable．
D．Cultivated．
75．Which of the following is true according to the passage？A

B．An ethnocentric country opens welcoming arms to cultures different from its own．
C．Culture consists of some positive features of a racial group，nation or empire．
D．People from various cultural backgrounds often reach an agreement on some image．
76．What can be inferred from the passage？C
A．All aspects of ethnocentrism can produce negative effects on a society．
B．Racism is unlikely to bring about serious conflicts among different cultures．
C．Respect and acceptance of different cultures are a proper cultural attitude．
D．Countries with a strong sense of national pride play a superior role in the world．
77．Which might be the best title of the passage？D
A．Culture，the origin of racial superiority
B．Culture，a faithful mirror of history
C．Culture，the vigour of world development   
D．Culture，a distinctive identity of a nation．

17．I have to say that my mom is stricter than most parents，and I'm the kind of kid who has a lot of my own thoughts．
I used to think that she's just a picky person that likes to make things more difficult for me，so we once sat down and talked face to face trying to clarify every misunderstanding we have  （25）betweenus．I （26）was convinced（convince） and decided to change my attitude towards her．My mom told me that as we grow，she's also growing，too．Every day，she learns something new about being a mom，and her knowledge of becoming a good mom gradually grows．
（27）Astime passes by，I began to realize that most of her rules，or should I say"point of view"，are really to protect us．We teenagers often think that parents are conservative （保守的），and they know nothing about us，but honestly，we're actually still too young （28）to know（know） what's really best for us．
Parents can be wrong sometimes because nobody's perfect，and they may be just like my mom who is still on her way to （29）being（be） a perfect parent!So，to those who often argue with their parents like me：next time，when you really disagree with （30）whatyour parents say，stop and tell yourself that your parents would never try to do （31）anythingto harm you because they love you before you yell at them．
Finally，I really want my mom to know how sorry I am for always yelling at her breaking her heart．I really do want to change because I love her just as much as she loves me．

14．Since IQ testing began a century ago，women have been as much as five points behind，leading psychologists to suggest genetic differences between the male and the female．
That gap has been narrowing in recent years and this year women have moved ahead．
The finding has been made by James Flynn，a world-famous expert on IQ tests．"In the last 100 years，the IQ scores of both men and women have risen but women's have risen faster，"said Flynn．"This is a result of modernity．The complex modern world is making our brains adapt and raising our IQs．"
One possible explanation is that women's lives have become more demanding as they multitask between raising a family and doing a job．Another might be that women have a slightly higher potential intelligence than men and are only now realizing it．
Flynn also made the great discovery that scores in western countries increased by roughly three points a decade，which means people today get 30 more points than those living 100 years ago and that IQs can be improved．
Flynn conducted new IQ tests in western European countries，America，Canada，New Zealand，Argentina and Estonia，which showed that the gap between men and women had become very small．In New Zealand，Estonia and Argentina，women scored slightly higher than men．
Maybe because of this，many women have exchanged the role with their husband in family life．Helena Jamieson，33，works a full-time job and her husband，Luke，37，is a stay-at-home father．Helena said，"I'm definitely the more intellectual person in the relationship and I'm at work full-time rising up the career ladder while he is raising our daughter．"
She added，"In the past，men would look down on me，thinking that I was a woman and not as smart as them．But today，things have changed．I think women probably always know secretly deep down that they are the more intelligent ones-but as the gentler sex，we were just quiet about it in the past and let men believe that they ruled the world．"
33．In the psychologists'view，what led to women getting lower scores than men in IQ tests？B
A．Family genes
B．Genetic differences．
C．Educational levels
D．Job positions．
34．Helena's words in the last paragraph show thatA．
A．women may have been thinking they are smarter
B．men have the right to continue ruling the world
C．things have changed and men have got less clever
D．women were looked down upon，for they were quiet
35．The main idea of the passage is thatD．
A．wives now serve as breadwinners while husbands raise children
B．people today are much smarter than those living 100 years ago
C．in western countries，women scored higher than men in IQ tests
D．women's IQ has risen faster and has even gone beyond men's．

1．Ecotourism is one of the fastest growing sectors in tourism． More and more of us are becoming concerned about the effects we are having on the destinations we choose，as well as the world around us． Some of us are choosing more green modes of transport to get there instead of flying，and some of us are choosing to visit greener destinations． India is one of the best places for ecotourism，and with the destinations below you can be sure that you'll not only be protecting the earth，but giving something back to the area too．
Kerala，more commonly known as"God's Own Country"，is a beautiful state on the southern tip of India． It's a biologically diverse area，with many unique animal species，and almost 2，500 plant species in its tropical forests-that's nearly a quarter of all India's plant groups． In the past，though the forests in this area were much cleared，today they are well protected． There are plenty of wildlife reserves where you can see some of these unique animals．
With tourism developing in the area and money brought in，more attention can be given to protecting its plants and animals，ensuring that the people in the area have a better quality of life．
Arunachal Pradesh，situated on the most northern tip of India，is a resort for the more adventurous． With dry，desert heat in the summer and a snowfall best avoided in the winter，this area is less about greenery，and more about stunning desert landscapes． When visiting this amazing area，you'll be promoting locals earning income from their surroundings，encouraging them to make the most of them and preserve them，as well as gradually increasing their quality of life．
As a north Indian province，Ladakh supports much rare and even endangered plants and animals，which can be seen at Hemis High Altitude National Park． There are also many Tibetan monasteries，including the Hemis Monastery，to visit in the area．
76． Why do people regard Kerala as a biologically diverse area？（no more than 15 words）Because there live many unique animal species and almost 2，500 plant species．
77． What's the author's attitude towards the tourist industry in Kerala？（no more than 6 words）The author quite approves of it．/He is in favor of it．/He is for it．/He is supportive．/He is optimistic about it．/He thinks it is quite good （beneficial）．
78． What can the tourists enjoy in Arunachal Pradesh despite much hardship？（ no more than 4 words）The beautiful/stunning desert landscapes．
79． According to the passage，where would you like to go if you intend to study some endangered animals and plants？（no more than 7 words）Hemis High Altitude National Park in Ladakh

11．Teachers say the digital age has had a good influence-and a not-so-good influence-on this generation of American teenagers．More than 2，000 teachers took an online survey．Three-quarters of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a"mostly positive"effect on their students'research habits and skills．But 64 percent said the technologies"do more to distract（使------分心） students than to help them academically．"And 87 percent agreed that these technologies are creating an"easily distracted generation with short attention spans．"
The Pew Internet Project did the survey with the National Writing Project．Judy Buchanan is the vice director of the National Writing Project and a co-author of the report．Ms．Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more and faster．"Teachers really favor these tools because they are ways to make some of the learning exciting and engaging．Young people favor these tools．The goal is to really help them become creators of meaningful content，and not just sort of consumers．"
But one problem the survey found is that many students lack digital literacy．They trust too muck of the information they find on the Internet．Judy says these students haven't developed the skills to determine the quality of online information．"It's something that really has to be taught and paid attention to．Because in a world in which things happen quickly，you do need to step back，reflect and analyze the information you have．"
Another problem is blamed on something that might not seem like a problem at all：being able to quickly find information online．Teachers say the result is a reduction in the desire and ability of their students to work hard to find answers．They say students are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research libraries．
Many teachers are also concerned that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others instead of using their own abilities．
32．The text mainly tells usD．
A．a(chǎn)ll the students use digital tools
B．the Internet is playing a key role
C．teachers encourage using digital tools
D．digital tools bring about benefits and problems
33．Which of the following best shows the structure of the text？A

34．The underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably meansD
A．students do not have the right digital tools
B．students do not always have access to the Internet
C．students haven't the ability to adjust themselves
D．students can't judge online information properly
35．Some students don't tend to work hard becauseA
A．they can get answers on the Internet quickly
B．printed books and libraries around aren't enough
C．the Internet can't make students concentrate
D．they can copy each others'work without being punished．

18．People become quite illogical when they try to decide what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten． If you lived in the Mediterranean，for example，you would consider octopus （章魚(yú)）a great delicacy （佳肴）． You would not be able to understand why some people find it repulsive（令人討厭的）． On the other hand，your stomach would turn at the idea of frying potatoes in animal fat---the normally accepted practice in many northern countries． The sad truth is that most of us have been brought up to eat certain foods and we stick to them all our lives．
  No creature has received more praise and abuse than the common garden snail （蝸牛）．Cooked in wine，snails are a great luxury in various parts of the world． There are countless people who，ever since their early years，have learned to associate snails with food．
As my friend，Robert's flat is in a large town，he has no garden of his own． For years he has been asking me to collect snails from my garden and take them to him． The idea never appealed to me very much，but one day，after a heavy shower，I happened to be walking in my garden when I noticed a huge number of snails on some of my favorite plants． Acting on a sudden impulse （沖動(dòng)），I collected several dozen，put them in a paper bay，and took them to Robert． Robert was delighted to see me and equally pleased with my little gift． I left the bag in the hall and Robert and 1 went into the living room where we talked for a couple of hours．I had forgotten all about the snails when Robert suddenly said that I must stay to dinner．Snails would，of course，be the main dish． I did not fancy the idea and 1 reluctantly （不情愿地） followed Robert out of the room． To our surprise，we saw that there were snails everywhere：they had escaped from the paper bag and had taken complete possession of the hall!I have never been able to look at a snail since then．
68． We can infer from Paragraph 3 that when collecting the snails，the writerB
  A． was glad that he could share them with his friend
  B． didn't think much about the result and it was just a sudden wish
  C． was excited about being able to give his friend a surprise
  D． was depressed because it was hard to catch them all
69． The writer finds that snailsC
  A． are as delicious as octopus                 B．a(chǎn)re disliked in his hometown
  C． are the most controversial（有爭(zhēng)議的） food  D．a(chǎn)re as popular as fried potatoes'
70． According to the passage，people love different foods mainly becauseD
  A． they live in different places
  B． they have the same genes as their parents
  C． they have different understandings of delicacies
  D． they learn to eat certain foods in their families
71． What's the best title for the passage？C
  A．Foods and cultures                      
  B．Snail and octopus
  C．One man's meat is another man's poison      
  D．People are illogical in front of delicacies．

15．"Wanna buy a body？"That was the opening line of more than a few phone calls I got from self-employed photographers when I was a photo editor at U．S．News．Like many in the mainstream press，I wanted to separate the world of photographers into"them"，who trade in pictures of bodies or run after famous people like Princess Diana，and"us"，the serious newspeople．But after 16years in that role，I came to wonder whether the two worlds were easily distinguishable．
Working in the reputable world of journalism，I told photographers to cover other people's difficult life situations．I justified marching into moments of sadness，under the appearance of the reader's right to know．I worked with professionals talking their way into situations or shooting from behind police lines．And I wasn't alone．
In any American town，after a car crash or some other horrible incident when ordinary people are hurt or killed，you rarely see photographers pushing past rescue workers to take photos of the blood and injuries．But you are likely to see local newspaper and television photographers on the scene-and fast…
How can we justify doing this？Journalists are taught to separate，doing the job from worrying about the consequences of publishing what they record．Repeatedly，they are reminded of a news-business saying：Leave your conscience in the office，A victim may lie bleeding，unconscious，or dead．Your job is to record the image （圖象）．You're a photographer，not an emergency medical worker．You put away your feelings and document the scene．
But catastrophic events often bring out the worst in photographers and photo editors．In the first minutes and hours after a disaster occurs，photo agencies buy pictures．They rush to obtain the rights to be the only one to own these shocking images and death is usually the subject．Often，an agency buys a picture from a local newspaper or an amateur photographer and puts it up for bid by major magazines．The most sought-after special pictures command tens of thousands of dollars through bidding contests．
I worked on all those stories and many like them．When they happen，you move quickly：buying，dealing，trying to beat the agencies to the pictures．
Now，many people believe journalists are the hypocrites （偽君子） who need to be brought down，and it's our pictures that most anger others．Readers may not believe，as we do，that there is a distinction between clear-minded"us"and mean-spirited"them"．In too many cases，by our choices of images as well as how we get  them，we prove our readers right．

67．When journalists are working，they are told toC．
A．work with their conscience
B．respect the privacy of the victim
C．separate their work from feelings
D．a(chǎn)sk police for permission to take photos
68．The 5th and 6th paragraphs mainly tell us thatD．
A．speed determines the success of a news story
B．photo agencies are greedier than serious newspeople
C．photographers have free access to photos of accidents
D．profit is the driving force beliind the competition for photos
69．It can be learned from the last paragraph that serious newspeopleB．
A．obtain photos differently from news agencies
B．a(chǎn)re no better than self-employed photographers
C．a(chǎn)re more devoted to work than non-professionals
D．have a higher moral standard than self-employed photographers
70．The underlined word"them"in the last paragraph refers toD．
A．photo editors                          B．photo agencies
C．serious newspeople                     D．self-employed photographers．
