24、   Humans are social animals. They live in groups all over the world. As these groups of people live apart from other groups, over the years and centuries they develop their own habits and ideas, which form different cultures. One important particular side of every culture is how its people deal with time.

Time is not very important in non industrial societies. The Nuer people of East Africa, for example, do not even have a word TIME that is in agreement with the abstract thing we call time. The daily lives of the people of such non industrial societies are likely to be patterned around their physical needs and natural events rather than around a time schedule (时间表) based on the clock. They cook and eat when they are hungry and sleep when the sun goes down. They plant crops during the growing seasons and harvest them when the crops are ripe. They measure time not by a clock or calendar(日历), but by saying that an event takes place before or after some other event. Frequently such a society measures day in terms of “sleeps” or longer periods in terms of “moons”. Some cultures, such as the Eakinos of Greenland measure seasons according to the migration of certain animals.

Some cultures which do not have a written language or keep written records have developed interesting ways of “telling time”. For example, when several Australian aborigines want to plan an event for a future time, one of them places a stone on a cliff or in a tree. Each day the angle of the sun changes slightly. In a few days, the rays of the sun strike the stone in a certain way. When this happens, the people see that the agreed - upon time has arrived and the event can take place.

In contrast (成对比), exactly correct measurement of time is very important in modern, in detribalized societies. This is because industrialized societies require the helpful efforts of many people in order to work. For a factory to work efficiently (well, quickly and without waste), for example , all of the workers must work at the same time, Therefore, they must know what time to start work in the morning and what time they may go home in the afternoon. Passengers must know the exact time that an airplane will arrive or depart. Students and teachers need to know when a class starts and ends. Stores must open on time in order to serve their customers. Complicated (复杂的) societies need clocks and calendars. Thus, we can see that if each person worked according to his or her own schedule, a complicated society could hardly work at all.

【1】By saying “Humans are social animals”, the author means ________.

A.they live all over the world.

B.they are different from other animals

C.they live in one area as a whole

D.they are divided into many groups

【2】Time is not very important in non industrial societies. This is because people in those societies ________.

A.don’t have the word TIME in their languages

B.don’t get used to using clocks and other timepieces

C.don’t measure time in their daily lives

D.don’t need to plan their daily lives around an exact time schedule

【3】The Australian aborigines’ way of “telling time” is based on ________.

A.the change of the sun rays

B.the movement of the earth in relation to the sun

C.the position of the stone

D.the position of the tree or the cliff

【4】Which of the following night be the best title for this passage?

A.Time and Culture

B.The Measurement of Time

C.Time schedule and Daily Life

D.Clock, Calendar and Society

25、Here are some of the different technologies used in 24 Beijing Winter Olympics.

At the Winter Olympic Village, the athletes were sleeping on “smart beds” equipped (装备) with sensors (传感器). They collected information on things like breathing and heart rates. They also let users choose different sleeping positions, including one called “zero gravity.” That setting is supposed to reduce pressure on muscles (肌肉) and joints (关节) and support higher-quality sleep.

Robots had been deployed (部署) to help visitors and athletes. Some machines were being used to keep social distancing (距离) requirements related to COVID-19. Robots were also transporting equipment, cleaning surfaces and preparing and carrying food to limit human-to-human contact. “Smart” waste containers (容器) were also used, as well as machines that can make and serve wine and coffee.

China’s digital money was in use at the Olympics in the currency’s (货币的) first major test with foreigners. Visitors would be able to use digital yuan to pay for food, transportation and other goods and services. Users could get the currency by downloading an app, getting a digital yuan card or by exchanging foreign currency into digital form through machines in Olympic areas.

28、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给）

The following are six film r【1】 from the students.

The Girl in Black is a story about something that happened 400 years ago. Two young people meet and fall in love but the young man has to go away to fight in a w【2】. The story has a good beginning but then nothing really happens.

The Circle of Life is a film everyone should see if they want to go home feeling cheerful. I couldn't stop 1【3】. There is one sad part in the middle but everything is all right in the end. Jules Verity, the star, normally sings and dances in films, so this is a change for him.

The clothes the actors wear in Cramer Place are lovely. It is a true story which takes place in the nineteenth century in an old house. It is actually difficult to believe this really happened and I found it i【4】 to guess the ending-you just have to wait and see. The acting is wonderful.

The Blue Country is an action film with a difference because it is also funny u【5】 the end when everyone dies. Most of the action actually comes at the end and I did find the first half a little boring.

I hadn't heard of any of the actors in the Lost Journey but I'm sure we'll see them again. The film takes place on a small planet in the future. It is rather difficu.t to believe but.it has a good story and is w【6】 acted. L loved the ending which I hadn't expected.

The Path to Nowhere is the latest in a series of films starring Des Riley and Tom Carver. It starts with a car chase, there is plenty of action in the middle and it finishes with a helicopter following the two men as they try to escape in a boat. I couldn't wait to d【7】 what happened.
