There was something they wanted- a lady, or money, or a country, or honor. And so they got it. But a true adventure is different. He starts without any special purpose. He is ready for anything he may meet.There have been many half-adventurers. And they were great men. History is rich with their stories. But each of them had a special purpose. They were not followers of true adventure.In the big city of New York, Romance and Adventure are always waiting.As we walk along the street, they are watching us. We look up suddenly and see a face in a window. The face seems to interest us strangely. Or in a quiet street, we hear a cry of fear and pain coming from a house where no one lives. A car takes us to a strange door, instead of to our own. The door opens and we are asked to enter. At every corner, eyes look toward us, or hands are raised, or fingers point. Adventure is offered.But few of us are ready to accept. We are ready to do only the things we do every day. We wish to do only the things that everyone else does. We move on; and some day we come to the end of a long quiet life. Then we begin to think. Then, when it is too late, we are sorry that we have never known true Romance and Adventure.( B )1.

I had never met him before although I had often heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident. I hadnt the slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go.It had been snowing heavily that I didnt know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, waiting for me. It seemed Milly had died. “She meant more to me than anyone even my own wife!” he said. I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal (丑闻) . I was even more shocked when he told me he had put her in the barn. “I wouldnt leave her out in the cold!” he said.Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to cover anything up when he opened the barn door. He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on the ground. “She was such a good cow! I wouldnt let anyone but a doctor touch her !” he said, and burst into tears again.( B )1.The underlined phrase “make out” in the first paragraph means_.A. expect B. understand C. see clearly D. hear clearly( C )2.

Cassatt, a leading banker of Philadelphia, shouted when his twenty-year-old eldest daughter announced that she wanted to become an artist. In the 19th century, playing at drawing or painting on dishes was all right for a young lady, but serious work in art was not. And when the young ladys family racked among(挤身于) the best of Philadelphias social(社会各界的) families, such an idea could not even be considered.That was how Mary Cassatt, born 1844, began her struggle as an artist. She did not tremble before her fathers anger, she opposed(反对) him with courage and at last made him change his mind.

What do we mean by “culture?” Lately 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 a group of people have in common. Culture includes the beliefs and attitudes we learn. It is the patterns of behavior that help people to live together. It is also the patterns of behavior that make one group of people different from another group.Our culture lets us make up for having lost out strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses. Instead we use tools, cooperate with one another, and communicate with language. But these aspects of human behavior, or “culture,” can also be found in the lives of certain animals. 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(非洲小猩猩) can not only use tools but actually make tools themselves. Animals can also share knowledge with each other and use their own language to communicate. 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.( D ) 1.Choose the statement that best expresses the main idea._.A. A chimpanzee can learn to use sign language to make sentencesB. Other animals can invent toolsC. Knowledge and communication are no longer signs of only human behaviorD. The line dividing human culture from animal culture is not as clear as we might think( B )2.“Culture” refers to _.A. book language of behavior we learnB. the patterns of behavior we learnC. traditional ideasD. peoples good habits( D )3. A chimpanzees use of tools means _.A. animals are the same as human beingsB. animals can be as clever as human beingsC. the dividing line between culture and animal culture no longer existsD. animals may have a culture like our own( B )4. Which of the following statement is true?_.A. The ability to use language separates human beingsB. We can be certain that animals have a culture tooC. Social scientists doubt if animals have a culture tooD. Some traditional ideas about the difference between human beings and animals may be wrong( B )5.The first sentence of the second paragraph “Our culture lets 7us make up for having lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses “ means _.A. as a result of our culture, we have lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defensesB. our culture has enabled us even better though we have lost our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defensesC. our culture has brought back to us strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses that we have lostD. our culture asks that we lose our strength, claws, long teeth, and other defenses which animals still have四、单词拼写41.We are doing a lot of activities to celebrate the _(ninety) birthday of the Communist Party of China(中国共产党) this year. （ninetieth）42.
