题目内容

---What have you learned from your experience in the USA?

---Well, meeting people from another culture ______ be very difficult.

A. mustB. can

C. shouldD. shall

 

B

【解析】

试题分析：考查情态动词。句意：---在美国学到了什么呢？---嗯，同别的国家的人相处有时会很难。“can”可以表示“有时会…”。Can作为情态动词用法广泛，通常表示的是“可能或者能够做什么”。选项中的“must”表示“一定，必须；非得”之意。“should”通常表示“竟然或应该”之意而“shall”意义广泛，与第一人称结合使用通常表示将来时的概念，与第二人称连用表示承诺，允诺或者语气上的强调，与第三人称连用可以表示为第三方征求意见或根据法律条文等规定“务必，必须”语气上很强硬。故B正确。

考点：考查情态动词

No one knows for sure when advertising first started. It is possible that it grew out of the discovery that some people did certain kinds of work better than others did them. That led to the concept of specialization, which means that people would specialize, or focus, on doing one specific job.

Let’s take a man we’ll call Mr. Fielder, for example. He did everything connected with farming. He planted seeds, tended the fields, and harvested and sold his crops. At the same time, he did many other jobs on the farm. However, he didn’t make the bricks for his house, cut his trees into boards, make the plows (犁), or any of other hundreds of things a farm needs. Instead, he got them from people who specialized in doing each of those things. Suppose there was another man we shall call Mr. Plowright. Using what he knew about farming and working with iron, Mr. Plowright invented a plow that made farming easier. Mr. Plowright did not really like farming himself and wanted to specialize in making really good plows. Perhaps, he thought, other farmers will trade what they grow for one of my plows.

How did Mr. Plowright let people know what he was doing? Why, he advertised, of course. First he opened a shop and then he put up a sign outside the shop to attract customers. That sign may have been no more than a plow carved into a piece of wood and a simple arrow pointing to the shop door. It was probably all the information people needed to find Mr. Plowright and his really good plows.

Many historians believe that the first outdoor signs were used about five thousand years ago. Even before most people could read, they understood such signs. Shopkeepers would carve into stone, clay, or wood symbols for the products they had for sale.

A medium, in advertising talk, is the way you communicate your message. You might say that the first medium used in advertising was signs with symbols. The second medium was audio, or sound, although that term is not used exactly in the way we use it today. Originally, just the human voice and maybe some kind of simple instrument, such as a bell, were used to get people’s attention.

A crier, in the historical sense, is not someone who weeps easily. It is someone, probably a man, with a voice loud enough to be heard over the other noises of a city. In ancient Egypt, shopkeepers might hire such a person to spread the news about their products. Often this earliest form of advertising involved a newly arrived ship loaded with goods. Perhaps the crier described the goods, explained where they came from, and praised their quality. His job was, in other words, not too different from a TV or radio commercial in today’s world.

1.What probably led to the start of advertisement?

A. The discovery of iron.

C. The specialization of labor.

D. The appearance of new jobs.

When 15-year-old Louisa Ball takes a nap, she sleeps for days on end, and no amount of shaking can fully wake her up. The British girl has a rare condition called Sleeping Beauty Sickness. Doctors don’t know what causes it or how to cure it --only know that it strikes teenagers and goes away by itself after eight to 12 years.

Louisa’s mum, Lottie, told NBC News that the girl had flulike symptoms just over a year ago. Shortly afterward, she had her first period of long sleeping.

She was eventually diagnosed with Kleine-Levin Syndrome, whose victims worldwide may number no more than 1,000. The victims live normally for weeks or months at a time, with normal sleep patterns and normal energy levels. Then, with little warning, they’ll go to sleep for days or weeks at a time. So far, Louisa’s longest period in bed has been 13 days. Victims will wake briefly, but be disoriented and not fully awake. Louisa’s parents force her awake so she can use the bathroom and eat.

Now, Louisa’s friends can tell when a period is coming on. She stops talking and she may be annoyed easily. That’s when she knows she has to get home to her bed. Louisa has slept through family vacations, the dance recitals(表演会) she loves to perform in, and school tests. Now it becomes increasingly difficult to catch up on missed schoolwork.

But just as doctors don’t know the cause, they also don’t know why it ends as mysteriously as it began. The illness is unrelated to narcolepsy(嗜眠病), whose victims are constantly tired and drop off for brief periods of sleep at any time.

It’s so dramatic that some people have accused Louisa of making the false symptoms to get attention. Her father, Richard, thinks that’s absurd.

1.The underlined “disoriented ” in the 3rd paragraph probably means________.

A. embarrassed B. disappointed

C. confused D. happy

2.Which is TRUE about Kleine-Levin Syndrome according to the passage?

A. The victims usually sleep for days or weeks at a time.

B. There are usually many warning signs before it attacks the victims.

C. The victims are usually tired and in a bad mood.

D. There are more than 1, 000 victims in the world.

3.We can learn from the passage that________.

A. doctors have found the cure for Sleeping Beauty Sickness.

B. some people don’t believe in the truth of Louisa’s symptoms.

C. Kleine-Levin Syndrome has no effect on Louisa’s study and life.

D. the narcolepsy victims sleep longer than those with Kleine-Levin Syndrome.

4.What can we learn about Louisa?

A. Louisa is fond of dancing.

B. Louisa can still manage finish her schoolwork without difficulty.

C. Louisa is a British girl who likes sleeping.

D. Louisa’s longest sleeping period is 8 years.

5.What is the best title of the passage?

A. What is Narcolepsy

B. How Louisa Overcame the Difficulty

C. Rare Illness Turns a Girl into a “Sleeping Beauty”

D. The Latest Research on Kleine-Levin Syndrome.
