25、Do Encyclopedias Know Everything?

LONG BEFORE Wikipedia or Encyclopedia Britannica (《大英百科全书》), there was Pliny the Elder. He was a first-century Roman researcher. His assistants (助理) read to him while he ate dinner and while he bathed. All the while, Pliny took notes. He even considered walking a waste of time. His assistants carried him around Rome in a chair while he read.

All of this was preparation for his Historia Naturalis (《博物志》). The book was published in A.D. 77. It is considered the oldest surviving encyclopedia on Earth. There are 2,500 chapters. They cover everything from mice to Mars.

“No Roman author has completed such a project,” Pliny proudly announced. Unluckily, two years after publishing (出版) the encyclopedia, he died in a natural disaster.

Accidents can hardly be avoided (避免). However, they can be recorded. Editors of encyclopedias, like Pliny, organize the knowledge of our world. Like a valuable gift, the books pass through the ages. They begin their lives as a tool and end them as a historical record.

Therefore, in my opinion, an encyclopedia is not just a record of what its editors know. It’s also a record of what they don’t know.

Pliny was wrong when he said there were seven planets, including the Sun and the Moon. He was wrong, too, when he said Africans were black from being burnt by the Sun. After all, Historia Naturalis is a book edited by a Roman thousands of years ago. These were all he truly knew.

Similarly, both Wikipedia and Encyclopedia Britannica have some incorrect information. Even the biggest encyclopedias only represent what their editors know.

“The task of editing an encyclopedia can never be completed,” said Roger Lewinter, an American researcher. Encyclopedias can’t record all of the human knowledge but just some of it. They are always waiting for someone — you, perhaps — to improve them.

【1】According to the article, before Pliny the Elder completed his Historia Naturalis, ______.

A.Nobody had considered walking a waste of time B.There was no encyclopedia on Earth

C.Nobody knew what Mars was D.No Roman author had completed an encyclopedia

【2】When did Pliny die in a natural disaster?

A.In A.D. 79. B.In A.D. 77. C.In A. D.75. D. In 77 B.C.

【3】Which of the following statements would the author agree to?

A.We should destroy Pliny’s encyclopedia because it contains too many mistakes.

B.Modern encyclopedias — such as Wikipedia — have fewer mistakes.

C.In the biggest encyclopedia, we can find all of the human knowledge.

D.In all encyclopedias, there is some incorrect information.

【4】The author expects his readers to _____.

A.find all the mistakes in Historia Naturalis B.improve an encyclopedia

C.complete the task of editing an encyclopedia D.take a look at the world’s biggest encyclopedias

26、   When the musical sound rings you, you immediately reach for your pocket ready to have a chat.But although you probably use it all the time, have you ever stopped to think about the manners related to talking on the phone? If you haven’t, here are some tips to guide you．

●Always give the person you are calling plenty of time to get to the phone before you hang up. If the person who answers is not the one you want,give your name and ask if you may speak to the person you want．

●Think about the time you call people.Try not to call too early in the morning（before about 9:00）or too late at night（after about 9:30）. Also try not to call at mealtimes．

●If you go by plane to visit your relatives at Christmas, remember to follow airline instructions.Cell phones must be turned off as soon as the plane doors are closed and remain so until the doors open again on arrival．

●When face to face with someone, do not talk on the phone. It is rude to be on the phone when a waiter is trying to take your order in a restaurant, or when you are returning the shoes you have just been trying on in a shop. Finish any face-to-face business before taking a call. Continuing to use the phone while nodding to the person in front of you is quite impolite．

●When in a restaurant with your friends,keep phone conversations short. Make a call only if it is important. Practice speaking in a low voice.If no one looks your way, you’ve got it．

●If you go to a theatre, a concert or a cinema, consider the other people around you.Check that your phone is “off” before you enter. If you are expecting a very important call, put your phone on “vibrate”（振动）and run for the exit as soon as you feel it. If you forget both “off” and “vibrate” and your phone rings, don’t answer it, turn it off straight away.

27、As an English language teacher, I have come into contact with many, many different nationalities. The people I teach English to come from very different backgrounds. I have also been fortunate enough to travel to different countries with my work: The USA, China, France, Austria, Germany and Italy to name just a few. You might think, then, that I would be well prepared for the challenge of meeting different cultures. I think I am quite well prepared, but I have had some interesting and surprising experiences. Here are some of the experiences which have made an impression on me.

Arab culture

When some Saudi Arabian students invited me to their house for a meal, we sat on the floor to eat. When I complimented (赞美) to an Omani students on his smart coat, he offered it to me! It seems that is the expected response in some parts of the Arab world. When I asked a Saudi student when his birthday was, he said he did not know. I kept asking him the same question, thinking he did not understand, but the problem was that they don’t celebrate birthdays in some parts of the Arab world.

Japanese culture

When I was invited for a meal by some Japanese students, I was surprised that I had to take my shoes off before going into the house. I was even more surprised when I had to sing karaoke! I have noticed that when I asked Japanese students questions, they often don’t say anything until they have the answer. The silence is longer than we expect in English culture, where you normally make some kind of noise to show you have understood questions and you are thinking about it.

Chinese culture

We had a group of Chinese teachers here. They made their tea in their cups. Boiling water is added to the same leaves when they wanted another cup of tea. I found this interesting because we make our tea in a teapot, using boiling water. But new leaves or teabags are used every time we want another pot of tea. We drink it black or milk and sugar can be added to the tea.

I don’t think the culture differences I have experienced have brought me any real problems. They just make life interesting.

【1】The writer is a teacher and his/her students ________.

A．speak the same language

B．travel a lot

C．have similar backgrounds

D．come from different countries

【2】In some parts of the Arab world, people don’t ________.

A．sit on the floor to eat

B．wear smart coats

C．understand English

D．celebrate their birthdays

【3】Japanese students will keep silent when they are asked a question because ________.

A．they think it’s polite to do so

B．they won’t talk until they have the answer

C．they don’t like answering questions

D．they don’t know the English culture

【4】There are ________ difference(s) in the way of making tea between the Chinese and the Englishmen.

A．1

B．2

C．3

D．4

【5】The world “They” in the last paragraph here refers to ________.

A．the problems

B．Chinese teachers

C．cultural differences

D．the writers classes

【6】From the passage we can tell that ________.

A．the writer likes to have dinner with students in their homes and learn from them

B．the writer has a very optimistic attitude toward the culture differences

C．meeting different culture is far more difficult than the writer expected

D．the writer preferred his/her own culture to the other cultures he/she experienced

28、阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或用括号中词语的正确形式填空。将答案写在答卷上

When holiday is coming to an end, how many of you have burned the midnight oil to finish your homework for several days? 【1】 the school year, when you get home from school, do you start working on your homework right away?

It is hard to be this responsible. A lot of people tend to put off difficult or 【2】 (challenge) tasks until they must be done. They are called procrastinators(拖延症患者).

Procrastination is a common problem for 【3】 (million) of people, in fact, sometimes it just feels easier to wait till the last minute to do certain things. 【4】, this is usually not a good thing, as you have to work harder and faster. This means your work will 【5】 (probable) be of less quality.

I myself am a bit of a procrastinator. But most of the time, I try to finish my work earlier rather 【6】 later. It just makes more sense – if I finish my work now, I 【7】  (have) more time to relax or work on other projects later. Sometimes, it can be hard to promise 【8】get) started immediately. But once I do, the work will get done quickly and successfully.

It’s a 【9】(nature) thing for everyone to procrastinate from time to time. You’d better not beat 【10】 (you) up over it. After all, we still need time to relax and take a break from our busy lives. Just make sure you still get your homework done on time!
