1.Chinese proverbs are rich and they are still widely used in Chinese people's daily life.(61)Behind/Inthese proverbs there are often interesting stories.For example,the proverb,"plucking up a crop(62)to help (help) it grow",is based on the following story.It is said that a short-tempered man in the Song Dynasty (960-1279)was very anxious to help(63)his rice crop grow up quickly.He was thinking about (64)itday and night.But the crop was growing much slower than he expected.One day,he came up with an idea (65)that he would pluck up all of hiscrop a few inches.He did so the next day.He was very tired (66)after doing this for a whole day,(67)but he felt very happy since the crop did"grow"(68)higher(high).His son heard about this and went to see the crop.Unfortunately,the leaves of the crop began to wither.This proverb is saying we have to let things go in their (69)natural (nature) course.Being too anxious to help an event develop often(70)results (result) in the contrary to our intention.

分析 中国的谚语很多并且被广泛应用,美国谚语的背后都有一个有趣的故事,作者在本文中给我们讲述了关于"拔苗助长"的有趣故事,通过这个故事告诉我们要尊重自然规律,欲速则不达.

解答 61.Behind/In;考查介词,分析句意为"在这些谚语后面(中),有着有趣的故事",故用Behind/In.

12.Family Values
To understand a nation,you should first get to know its minimum unit-family.(71)B   In the US,upon reaching an appropriate age (usually between 18and 21years),children are encouraged,but not forced,to"leave the nest"and begin an independent life.(72)DParents do not arrange marriages for their children,nor do children usually ask permission of their parents to get married.Youn g adults meet their future spouses  (配偶)  through other friends,at jobs,and in organizations and religious institutions.Although children choose their own spouses,
they still hope their parents will approve of their choices.
Parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves in many families.A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another job.(73)F  A son may deliberately decide not to go into his father's business because of a fear that he will lose his independence in his father's workplace.This independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other.Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American family.
(74)AIt is not like we Chinese.Parents are rulers and masters.We Chinese love our parents with fear and total respect.In America,children always have their own opinions and even can talk about some sensitive problems with their parents,like family financial situation,the relationship between mother and father,and even sex.
(75)E Therefore,it is contrary that,on one hand,Americans admire independence and equality that they don't want to make sacrifice to make up a family,but on the other hand,Americans think highly of family in their value system.

A.In the American family,children and parents are equal.
B.It can reflect the traditional values and customs of a nation.
C.When it comes to big problems,children do not have to always follow their parents'ways.
D.After children leave home,they often find social relationship and financial support outside the  family.
E.Although Americans pay much attention to independence and equality,they don't believe in making sacrifice.
F.Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in order to declare their independence.
G.Many of them are expected to leave what could be life's most important decision-marriage-almost entirely up to luck.
9.There was once a lonely girl who longed so much for love.One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving birds.(36)E She cared about them with love and the birds grew strong.Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song.The girl felt great love for the birds.
(37)F The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage.The girl was so frightened that he would fly away.As he flew close,she grasped him wildly.Her heart felt glad at her success in capturing(捕捉) him.
(38)B She opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird.It was her desperate love that had killed him.
She noticed the other bird moving back and forth on the edge of the cage.She could feel his great need for freedom.He needed to fly into the clear,blue sky.(39)G The bird circled once,twice,three times.
The girl watched delightedly at the bird's enjoyment.(40)C What she wanted to see was that the bird could fly happily.Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder.It sang the sweetest tune that she had ever heard.
Remember,the fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tightly;the best way to keep love is to give it wings!

16.When I was 16years old,a boy gave me an important gift.(31)D

Every time I heard the other students talking and laughing,I felt my heart broken.I couldn't talk with anyone about my problems.And I didn't want my parents to worry about me.
Then one day,my classmates talked happily with their friends,but I sat at my desk unhappily as usual.(33)A I didnt know who he was.He passed me and then turned back.He looked at me,with a smile on his face.
Suddenly,I felt the touch of something bright and friendly.It made me feel happy,lively and warm.
(34)E I started to talk with other students and made friends.Day by day,I became closer to everyone in my class.The boy with the lucky smile has become my best friend now!
(35)C I believe that the world is what you think it is.If you think it lonely,you might always be alone.So smile at the world and it will smile back.

6.For over one hundred and fifty years,Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans.(36)FWhether they are worn for work or for fashion today,Strauss'invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world.
Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829.(37)AHe grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847.Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853,Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods business.This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention.After the gold rush of 1949,Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes.
Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals.Instead,he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners.At first,he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth.(38)DWhen he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining,he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners.These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more.
In 1873,Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets(铆钉).This made the pants last a long time.Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea,he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent.(39)C.
By the time Strauss died in 1902,he had made a great contribution to American fashion.(40)EThe business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss'company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world.

10."The chair is out to kill us,"says James Levine,a professor at the Mayo School of Medicine.Most of us have years of sitting experiences,considering ourselves quite good at it.(36)GBut unfortunately,a good deal of data suggests that we're off our chairs to spend so much time on the vast variety of other seats where we're fond of parking our bottoms.Here are some things that scientists have learned about the insidious(潜伏的)nature of sitting.
Sitting position has gone wrong.
(37)ACertainly people have done that for thousands of years.But lately,not so much.In general,scientists believe,Americans now sit for more than half of their walking hours.Sadly,the sitting position exerts force on the body which can lead to a lot of trouble including poor circulation(血液循环),aches and pains.
  Make people become too fat.
We're not using much energy when we're sitting still.(38)BIt is also just another way of saying"watch out for extra pounds."It is mainly the chair that has caused the increase in obesity rates.A person with a desk job may burn 300 calories a day at work,but the same person might burn 2,300 calories a day in jobs that require considerable physical efforts.In other words,we need more walking to burn more calories.
(39)ESitting at your desk and working hard for hours on end can increase your chances of getting a promotion.(40)FWhen comparing people who spent the most time sitting with those who spent the least time sitting,researchers found more sitting increases the risks of death from all causes.

A.The human body is designed for walking.
B.That is just another way of saying"we are not burning many calories".
C.They ought to work out to build their bodies.
D.We should be more patient and work longer than before.
E.Realize the damage.
F.But it also brings people diseases or even early death.
G.We will say nature intends us to do it.
