28、day of the field trip on which Miss Joan would take her class to pick apples. Miss Joan enjoyed picking apples with her students. She smiled as she led her students to the bus that would take them to the Greenly Apple Orchard (果园 ) . The bus ride was bumpy and the kids were a little noisy, but still

29、 Miss Joan was smiling. The bus stopped in front of the Greenly Apple Orchard and the class got off quickly and quietly. Miss Joan made sure everyone was there. “What a glorious, sunny, apple picking day,“ Miss Joan announced with her grandest smile. Mr. Greenly was there to greet them. “Lets see, t

30、here are eighteen children and two adults at three dollars each. That will be sixty dollars, please.“ Miss Joan held up the brochure in her hand. “It says that the price is two dollars each,“ she pointed out. “Thats what I collected from everyone.“ “Weve had to raise the price,“ Mr. Greenly stated.

31、“You sent me this brochure after we made our reservation,“ Miss Joan complained, “and it says two dollars!“ “Miss Joan, if you look at the bottom of this brochure,“ Mr. Greenly said, “youll notice very important statement.“ Sure enough, in very tiny letters, it said, “Prices are subject to change wi

32、thout notice.“ Miss Joan was determined to keep her good mood. She took a twenty dollars bill out of her own purse and handed it to Mr. Greenly with the forty dollars she had in an envelope. “Now children, do you all have your baskets?“ Miss Joan called out. “Remember, each of you can pick as many a

33、pples as possible.“ Mr. Greenly said, “You cant pick as many apples as possible.“ “I beg your pardon? Miss Joan was not smiling now. “The brochure says, ALL YOU CAN PICK!“ Mr. Greenly pointed to the tiniest letters Miss Joan had ever almost seen. It also says, “Terms and conditions of group reservat

34、ions are subject to change without notice.“ Miss Joans good mood was now history. She didnt want to set a bad example for her students, so she said in a calm and quiet voice, “Were going home, give me our money back, please.“ 31 How many dollars did Miss Joan hand to Mr. Greenly? （ A） 20. （ B） 40. （

There has been a st

39、rong tendency to use them interchangeably as though they mean the same thing, but they are not the same. Although modem in their usage, the two words derived from ancient Latin. The word civilization is based on the Latin civis, of a city. Thus civilization, in its most essential meaning, is the abi

40、lity of people to live together harmoniously in cities, in social groupings. From this definition it would seem that certain insects, such as ants or bees, are also civilized. They live and work together in social groups. So do some microorganisms. But there is more to civilization, and that is what

41、 culture brings to it. So, civilization is inseparable from culture. The word culture is derived from the Latin verb colere, “to till the soil“. But colere also has a wider range of meanings. It may, like civis, mean inhabiting a town or village. But most of its definitions suggest a process of star

42、ting and promoting growth and development. One may cultivate a garden; one may also cultivate ones interests, mind, and abilities. In its modern use the word culture refers to all the positive aspects and achievements of humanity that make mankind different from the rest of the animal world. Culture

43、 has grown out of creativity, a characteristic that seems to be unique to human beings. One of the basic and best-known features of civilization and culture is the presence of tools. But more important than their simple existence is that the tools are always being improved and enlarged upon, a resul

44、t of creativity. It took thousands of years to get from the first wheel to the latest, most advanced model of automobile. It is the concept of humans as toolmakers and improvers that differentiates them from other animals. A monkey may use a stick to knock a banana from a tree, but that stick will n

45、ever, through a monkeys cleverness, be modified into a hook or a ladder. Monkeys have never devised a spoken language, written a book, composed a melody, built a house, or painted a portrait. To say that birds build nests and beavers (海狸 ) their dens is to miss the point. People once lived in caves,

46、 but their cleverness, imagination, and creativity led them to progress beyond caves to buildings. 36 What does the author think of the words “civilization“ and “culture“? （ A） They are identical. （ B） They are different concepts. （ C） They can often be used interchangeably. （ D） They are defined di

47、fferently by different people. 37 According to the author the word “civilization“ originally refers to _ （ A） peoples way of life in cities （ B） peoples ability to live together in cities （ C） a type of social organizations （ D） an advanced level of social life 38 The Latin verb colere originally me

48、ans“_“ （ A） live in a city （ B） develop oneself （ C） promote growth （ D） cultivate the land 39 The author believes that creativity_ （ A） is a unique feature of civilized beings （ B） brings forth the improvement of tools （ C） is the result of human development （ D） helps the advance of culture 40 The

49、 author mentions monkeys in the last paragraph to show that _ （ A） monkeys are the same as birds （ B） people once lived in caves like monkeys （ C） monkeys can never develop into human beings （ D） man is different from other animals such as monkeys 41 The huge growth of global “ecotourism“ industry is becoming an increasing concern for conservationists with mounting evidence that many wild species do not respond well to contact with
