probably means _.a. seeing everywhere b. going here and therec. staring everywhere d. reading here and there in book, etc ctoday, we send millions of christmas cards every year. but in fact the christmas card is a relatively modern invention.in the middle ages, european wood engravers （雕刻师）produced prints with religious themes. but the first real christmas card, as we understand the term today, was designed in london, england in 1840. it went on sale in 1843. the designer was john callott horsley, a well- known british painter and member of the royal academy. he designed the card at the suggestion of his friend sir henry cole, who was the first director of the victoria & albert museum. horsley produced 1,000 cards and offered them for sale at 1s (one shilling) each. they were printed on stiff card and coloured by hand, with the greeting: “a merry christmas and a happy new year to you”. the card shows three pictures: in the center, a family party; to one side the hungry receiving food; to the other side the poor being clothed. puritans （清教徒）immediately denounced the card, since it showed people drinking in the family party. but with most people the idea was a great success and the christmas card quickly became very popular.christmas cards were not the first greetings cards. since 1796, with improvements in printing, merchants had been sending cards to their customers offering “best wishes” for the new year. in many countries, christmas cards gradually became even more popular than new years cards. as christmas is the birthday of jesus christ, cards often show scenes of his nativity. others show images connected with christmas such as wintry scenes of snow-laden pine, father christmas card is “merry christmas”, but many other greetings are also used, such as “happy xmas” or “happy noel”.59. what would be the best title of the text?a.the famous british painter and director.b.pictures and greetings on christmas cards.c.invention and design of the first christmas cards.d.history and characteristics of the christmas cards.60. the underlined word “denounced” in the second paragraph probably means _.a. praised b. doubted c. blamed d. preferred61. we can conclude from the text that _.a.horsley sold his first christmas cards for 50 poundsb.santa claus was born on christmas dayc.now there are more greetings on new years cardsd.merchants were the first to send christmas cards to their customers62. the text is written to introduce to us _.a.father christmas and john horsleyb.the greeting cardsc.the christmas cards d.the new years cards dspecialists say it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. “culture shock” is the term these specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. there are three stages of culture shock, say the specialists. in the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. in the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surrounding and, as a result, enjoy their life more. there are some obvious factors（因素）in culture shock. the weather may be unpleasant. the customs may be different. the public service systems-the telephones, post office, or transportationmay be difficult to work out. the simplest things seem to be big problems. the language may be difficult. who feels culture shock? everyone does in this way or that. but culture shock surprises most people. very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their community. coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. they find themselves without any identify（身份）. they have to build a new selfimage. culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation（迷失方向）. this feeling may be homesickness. when homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time. they want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create an escape inside their room for a sense of security（安全）. this escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short time, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. getting to know the new environment and gaining experiencethese are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock. 63. when people move to a new country, they _. a. will get used to their new surroundings with difficulty b. have well prepared for the new surroundings c. will get used to the culture of the country quickly d. will never be familiar with culture of the country 64. according to the passage, factors that give rise to culture shock include all of the following except _. a. language communication b. weather conditions and customs c. public service systems d. homesickness 65. according to the passage, the more successful you are at home, _. a. the fewer difficulties you may have abroad b. the more difficulties you may have abroad c. the more money you will earn abroad d. the less homesick you may feel abroad 66. the writer tells us that the best way to overcome culture shock is to _. a. protect ourselves from unfamiliar environment b. develop a strange sense of self-protection c. get familiar with new culture d. return to our own countryethere is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. no school i have ever taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. there are, however, different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority (优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. the problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities (复杂性) of spelling.if spelling becomes the only focal (焦点的) point of his teachers interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to play safe. he will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. thats why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.i was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: “this work is terrible! there
