Ⅲ.閱讀理解
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(個(gè)人主義), self-reliance, and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage(遺產(chǎn)) 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.Middle-aged 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．a(chǎn)dvanced 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
40．What might be the most suitable title of this article?

答案
課時(shí)作業(yè)(三十六)
Ⅰ.1.B 考查表語(yǔ)從句。下句意為：這正是我們應(yīng)該互相幫助的地方。where引導(dǎo)表語(yǔ)從句，其他選項(xiàng)不合題意。
2．A 考查表語(yǔ)從句。where引導(dǎo)表語(yǔ)從句，表示那就是她們的錯(cuò)誤所在。
3．C 考查賓語(yǔ)從句。本題中的動(dòng)詞miss后接了一個(gè)賓語(yǔ)從句，又由于動(dòng)詞call后需要接雙賓語(yǔ)，故選用what在該賓語(yǔ)從句中充當(dāng)賓語(yǔ)從句中動(dòng)詞call的賓語(yǔ)。
4．B 考查表語(yǔ)從句。從句子結(jié)構(gòu)看，該詞需要引導(dǎo)表語(yǔ)從句并充當(dāng)該表語(yǔ)從句中be動(dòng)詞的表語(yǔ)，所以用what。what在此相當(dāng)于the house that。
5．D 考查形容詞辨析。句意：他已經(jīng)67歲了，看起來(lái)不可能在那個(gè)職位上待很長(zhǎng)時(shí)間了。A、B選項(xiàng)用于It's impossible/important/necessary/unusual that…句型，that從句常用should＋動(dòng)詞原形，而非would＋動(dòng)詞原形。C項(xiàng)不符合題意，故選D。
6．D 考查交際用語(yǔ)。根據(jù)Ours is much stronger than theirs可知By no means表示“絕不可能、決不會(huì)”符合語(yǔ)境。而Of course表示“當(dāng)然可以”；It depends表示“看情況而定”；Don't mention it表示“不用謝”，均不符合語(yǔ)境，故排除。
7. C 考查主語(yǔ)從句。句意：我從來(lái)沒(méi)有想到你能成功說(shuō)服他改變主意。It occurs to sb. that…意為：某人突然想到……，其中that引導(dǎo)主語(yǔ)從句，it是形式主語(yǔ)，代替that從句的具體內(nèi)容。
8．B 考查倒裝和動(dòng)詞的時(shí)態(tài)。否定副詞nowhere位于句首，句子使用倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)。從句意看，并沒(méi)有強(qiáng)調(diào)完成的意思，所以也不用完成時(shí)態(tài)。
9．A 考查動(dòng)詞辨析。句意：正如我記得有人所說(shuō)的：晚上紅色的天空預(yù)示著第二天晴空萬(wàn)里。所以選indicate “預(yù)示”。impress “給人印象”；obtain “獲得”；confirm “確認(rèn)；確定”。
10．C 考查冠詞用法。第一空the bicycle表示類別。第二空是泛指，表示“一種運(yùn)輸方式”。
11．D 考查副詞辨析。句中的but表示的是轉(zhuǎn)折意義，由此可知援助與我們預(yù)期的相差甚遠(yuǎn)，表示的是否定含義，所以用nowhere。
12．B 考查apply短語(yǔ)的用法。apply to sb.for sth.向某人申請(qǐng)某物。句意：要去美國(guó)旅行，你要首先向美國(guó)大使館申請(qǐng)簽證。
13．C 考查動(dòng)詞辨析和動(dòng)詞的語(yǔ)態(tài)。hire表示“雇用”；fire表示“解雇”；dismiss表示“開除”。由語(yǔ)態(tài)關(guān)系可知，答案選C。句意：據(jù)說(shuō)三個(gè)月前受雇的女校長(zhǎng)將很快被解雇。
14．B 考查定語(yǔ)從句。因?yàn)榇颂庩P(guān)系詞代替先行詞在定語(yǔ)從句中作賓語(yǔ)，故只能用that，which或省略。
15．C 考查介詞短語(yǔ)by means of的用法。by means of用；以；依靠。根據(jù)上文句意，聽話人是通過(guò)勤奮才在英語(yǔ)方面很快取得進(jìn)步的，故選C。
Ⅱ.文章介紹了在圣誕節(jié)前夕，一位老師和學(xué)生之間發(fā)生的事情。學(xué)生親手制作的圣誕禮物深深地感動(dòng)了老師。
16．B 考查語(yǔ)境。根據(jù)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，教學(xué)使得作者很疲勞。此處表示“我很疲勞”，故選B。

20．C 考查語(yǔ)境。根據(jù)下文comparing plans for the ______ (vacation)可知，此處表示“學(xué)生在聊天”，故選C。
