9、it offers a free birdwatching activityBI left England for Sydney in September. It was a career move for my husband, and our 20-year-old daughter was feeling adventurous and decided to come, too. However, just before leaving England, my 79-year-old mother suffered a stroke(中风). Being strong and indep
10、endent, she continues to live at home with the help of social services. But she couldnt look after the garden. I thought how wonderful it would be if there was an organization offering volunteer help. Friends asked me what I planned to do in Australia, and I told him I would be - 3 -looking for a vo
11、lunteer position with a gardening charitable organization. Imagine my surprise when I found just the organization I had been looking for-Easy Care Gardening(ECG)!There are several reasons why I volunteer for ECG. Firstly, as a newcomer to Australia I meet many great people who, like me, volunteer so
12、me of their time. We cover a large age range, but all love gardens and helping others.Secondly, through working with ECG I have been lucky enough to explore Sydneys North Shore that I might not have had the opportunity to visit otherwise.Finally, there are all those wonderful people we call “clients
13、(客户)”, but are more like friends when we visit them often and tend their gardens. What great people I have met, and the stories they have to tellthe family histories, where they come from and the reasons for immigrating to Australia. I find it a privilege to have access to private gardens which, in
14、many cases, have been the joy of their owners for many years. Each one is individual and reflects the character, needs and the history of each family. Indeed, the gardens reflect the multicultural and historical background of Sydney.24. Why did the author move to Sydney?A. She planned to volunteer t
15、here. B. She had to look after her sick mother.C. Her husband would work there. D. She was very keen on adventures.25. What made the author choose to be a gardening volunteer?A.

17、n. D. JoyCWhen people show up at an appointment, it varies with the custom, social situations, and their relative status.In North America, if you have a business meeting scheduled, the time you should arrive largely depend on the power relationship between you and the person who you are meeting. Peo
18、ple who are lower in status are expected to arrive on time, if not early. People of higher status can expect that others will wait for them if they are late. For instance, most people who have medical appointments are expected to arrive early and to wait patiently for their doctor to see them rather
19、 than the other way around. An invitation to a party is an entirely different matter. It is often expected that most guests will arrive “fashionable late”.It generally takes a North America child at least 12 years to master these subtle(微妙的) cultural aspects of time. By 5 to 6 years old, they usuall
20、y only know the days of the week, the difference between day and night, morning and afternoon, meal and nap time. By 7 to 8 years old, most can consistently use the clock to tell time. However, it is not until about 12 years old or older that they begin to know the situation aspects of time, such as
21、 when to arrive at a party.When people come together with very different cultural expectations about time, there is the potential for misunderstanding, disappointment, and hurt feelings. This could occur, for instance, if a Brazilian businessman does not arrive “on time ” for a meeting with a North
22、American customer in New York. For the Brazilian, time may be relatively “flexible” and the pace of life is a bit slower. He believes that he is punctual enough for the scheduled business meeting, having arrived in half an hour of the appointment. It is not surprising that he is astonished and offen
23、ded when he is coldly treated by the North American who also feels slightly by what he sees as rudeness.This unhappy situation can be avoided, of course, by foreknowledge about the - 5 -other culture and willingness to adopt a cultural relativity approach. The old saying “When in Rome do as the Roma
24、ns do” is still good advice.28. What does the text mainly discuss?A. How to set aside cultural differences.B. Cultural use of time changes accordingly.C. Appointments should be taken seriously worldwide.D. What social behavior is accepted in North America.29. What can we know about people in North A
25、merica?A. They usually turn up late at a party.B. They must arrive early for a business meeting.C. They learn cultural aspects of time from birth.D. They rarely arrive on time for medical appointments.30. How does the author mainly make his point in the fourth paragraph?A. By analyzing causes. B. By
26、 giving examples.C. By making comparisons. D. By conducting experiments.31. What suggestion does the author put forward in the last paragraph?A. Cultural differences can be ignored. B. Ancient wisdom gains wide acceptance.C. Every culture deserves to be respected. D. Cultural diversity can bring man
27、y benefits.DCompared to other crows(乌鸦), those from the Pacific island of New Caledonia， located east of Australia, are master toolmakers and users, second only to humans and on a level with chimps when it comes to finding novel uses for everyday objects. In their natural forest environment, the mid
28、night black birds shape twigs(细枝), leaves and even their own feathers into tools for rooting out insects in dead wood.The crows create tools to specific needs. They examine a problem and then pick or design a decent tool. For example, faced with a snack hidden in a small tree hole, a crow will cut a
29、nd adjust a leafy oak branch to just the right width - 6 -to dig the hole.Scientists have found that crows living on different parts of the island show variations in tool shapes. A discovery suggests that young crows learn to make tools in a particular way from relatives and other crows living nearb
30、y. If so, it would mean the birds possess a culture of tool technology like that of humans.To test this idea, researchers at the University of Oxford in the U.K. hand-raised four New Caledonian crowstwo received lessons in tool use from their human foster parents, while the other two did not. Despit
31、e their different upbringings, all four young birds uses sticks to get food from crevices(裂缝), providing that crows have a native ability for tool use. However, Uek and Nalik, the two birds schooled in toolmaking, carried and inserted twigs into crevices faster and more often than Oiseau and Corbeau
32、, the two innocent crows.The researchers suggest that recognition gained from studying crows could be applied to humans to help understand how tool use evolved in our own species.32. What skill of crows is specially stressed in the passage?A. Seeking food sources. B. Copying human activities.C. Maki
33、ng full use of tools. D. Changing the surrounding environment.33. What does the underlined word ”decent” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Sharp B. Appropriate C. Precious D. Delicate34. What can we infer from the research by the University of Oxford?A. Crows can be easily raised and taught by humans.B. Tool u
34、se among crows is gained by learning.C. Crows ability to use tools can be improved by learning.D. Human parenting should be tested on other animals.35. Where can we read the passage most likely?A. In a geography book. B. In a science report.C. In a medical newspaper. D. In a government document.第二节（
