【1】考查时态。表示发生在过去的事情，用一般过去时，所以填sank。

【2】考查非谓语动词。fasten与其逻辑主语a buoy之间是被动关系，所以用过去分词作定语，填fastened。

【3】考查定语从句。___3___ would ring whenever any ship got closer.是一个定语从句，关系词在从句中作主语，指物，所以填which。

【4】考查固定用法。一天，海盗Rover碰巧在离这个岩石不远的地方航海。happen to do 偶然做某事，所以填to sail/ to be sailing。

【5】考查固定用法。看到浮标在水上漂着，他决定搞一个恶作剧。see sb. doing sth. 表示“看见某人正在做某事”，所以填floating。

【6】考查冠词。特指“拴着浮标的这个链条”，所以填定冠词the。

【7】考查固定用法。a great variety of各种各样的；大量的，是固定短语，所以填variety。

【8】考查副词。位于句首，且有逗号隔开，修饰整个句子，所以用副词，填Unfortunately。

【9】考查介词。当返回时，在没有铃声的情况下，他们自己也不知道如何躲避岩石。表示“没有……”，所以填without。

【10】考查连词。轮船敏捷地在黑暗中行驶，就在那时发生了撞击。表示当…时，所以填when。

Family structure is the core of any culture. A major function of the family is to socialize new members of a culture. As children are raised in a family setting, they learn to become members of the family as well as members of the larger culture. The family provides the model for all other relationships in society. Through theobservations and modeling of the behavior of other family members, children learnabout the family and society including the values of the culture. Familystructure and their inherent relationships and obligations are a major sourceof cultural difference.
The family is the center of most traditional Asians' lives. Many people worry about their families' welfare,reputation, and honor. Asian families are often extended, including severalgenerations related by blood or marriage living in the same home. An Asianperson's misdeeds are not blamed just on the individual but also on the family—includingthe dead ancestors.
Traditional Chinese, among many otherAsians, respect their elders and feel a deep sense of duty toward them.Children repay their parents' sacrifices by being successful and supportingthem in old age. This is accepted as a natural part of life in China. Incontrast, taking care of aged parents is often viewed as tremendous burden inthe United States, where aging and family support are not honored highly.
The Vietnamese family consists of peoplecurrently alive as well as the spirits of the dead and of the as-yet unborn.Any decisions or actions are done from family considerations, not individualdesires. People's behavior is judged on whether it brings shame or pride to thefamily. Vietnamese children are trained to rely on their families, to honorelderly people, and to fear foreigners. Many Vietnamese think that theiractions in this life will influence their status in the next life.
Fathers in traditional Japanese familiesare typically strict and distant. Japanese college students in one study saidthey would tell their fathers just about as much as they would tell a totalstranger. The emotional and communication barrier between children and fathersin Japan appears very strong after children have reached a certain age.
Although there has been much talk about"family values" in the United States, the family is not a usual frameof reference for decisions in U.S. mainstream culture. Family connections arenot so important to most people. Dropping the names of wealthy or famous peoplethe family knows is done in the United States, but it is not viewed positively.More important is a person's own individual "track record" ofpersonal achievement.
Thus, many cultural differences exist infamily structures and values. In some cultures, the family is the center oflife and the main frame of reference for decisions. In other cultures, theindividuals, not the family, is primary. In some cultures, the family'sreputation and honor depend on each person's actions; in other cultures,individuals can act without permanently affecting the family life. Somecultures value old people, while other cultures look down on them.
(Adapted from R. L. Oxford & R. C.Scarcella, "A Few Family Structures and Values Around the Globe")

What is it that makes people laugh? More than two thousand years ago the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle defined (定义) jokes as the pleasure that results from a feeling of triumph(胜利) by showing we're better than someone else in a certain way. According to Aristotle and many other philosophers，all jokes depend mainly on showing inferiority in another person or group of persons—that is，putting it clearly，on showing that they are worse off than ourselves. Jokes raise our good opinion of ourselves at someone else's expense.
Showing how much better than other people we are is only one reason we like jokes. Someone may also use a joke to express their anger or their cruelty or any other kind of action that is not acceptable to us. We feel free to laugh when we hear about someone sliding on a banana skin. The joke lets us express those attitudes which are usually unacceptable to society. This is probably the reason why some of the jokes，especially those involving cruelty，are so popular with certain people.
Besides，all jokes depend on our enjoyment of laughing at something that is strange and out of place because it's different from things which are happening around it. The same situation can be either sad or pleasant，depending entirely on how strange and out of place it is. If a girl in a bathing suit falls into a swimming pool，we don't laugh because nothing unusual has happened. But if a man in a smart suit falls in，the situation is at once unusual in a pleasant way and we laugh. A good joke-teller will always try to build up a situation in which one thing is expected until something unexpected suddenly happens，and so we laugh.

Through television, every home saw his particular way of running, a kind of half- hop and half- run. Thousands of people lined the route to encourage him and to wish him well. They also gave money to fight cancer. Then, on 1st September 1980, after 143 days and more than 5000 kilometers completed, everything came tragically to an end Terry had to stop.

They wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-dateaccessories(配饰)．Yet these arenot girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies．A generationwhich would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favoring the same highstreet looks worn by those half their age．
Professor Julia Twiggy, a social policy expert，said，“Women over 75are now shopping for clothes more requently than they did when they were youngin the 1960s．In the 1960sbuying a coat for a woman was a serious matter．It was anexpensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years—now youcan pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to．Fashion is alot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly．” Professor Twiggy analyzed family expendingdata and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes bywomen had stayed around the same—about 5 or 6 percent of spending，the amount ofclothes bought had risen sharply．
The professor said，“Clothes arenow 70 percent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the hugeexpansion of production in the Far East．In the 1960sLeeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most ofthe clothes came from，but now almostall of our clothes are sourced elsewhere．Everyone isbuying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them．’’

My own mother is 6l and she wears thelatest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago．”
