Ⅰ.阅读理解

There is no better way to enjoy Scottish traditions than going fishing and tasting a little bit of whisky (威士忌) at a quiet place like the Inverlochy Castle. When Queen Victoria visited the castle in 1873 she wrote in her diary，“I never saw a lovelier spot.” And she didn't even go fishing.

Scotland is not easily defined. In certain moments, this quiet land of lakes and grasses and mountains changes before your very eyes. When evening gently sweeps the hillside into orange light, the rivers, teeming (充满) with fish, can turn into streams of gold. As you settle down with just a fishing pole and a basket on the bank of River Orchy, near the Inverlochy Castle, any frustration (烦恼) will float away as gently as the circling water. It's just you and purple, pink, white flowers, seeking a perfect harmony. If you are a new comer to fishing, learning the basics from a fishing guide may leave you with a lifetime's fun. For many, fishing is more than a sport；it is an art.

Scotland offers interesting places where you can rest after a long day's fishing. Set against a wild mountain and hidden behind woodland, the beautiful Inverlochy Castle Hotel below the Nevis is a perfect place to see the beauty of Scotland's mountains. Ben Nevis is the highest of all British mountains，and reaching its 1343­metre top is a challenge. But it's not just what goes up that matters；what comes down is unique. More than 900 metres high, on the mountain's north face, lies an all­important source of pure water. Its name comes from the Gaelic language “usquebaugh” or “water of life”； and it is the single most important ingredient (原料) in Scotland's best known drink：whisky.

1．The story of Queen Victoria is to show that ________.

A．the Queen is rich in tour experience

B．the Castle is a good place to go in Scotland

C．tasting whisky is better than going fishing

D．1873 is a special year for the Queen

2．How is Paragraph 2 mainly developed?

A．By giving descriptions.

B．By following time order.

C．By analyzing causes.

D．By making comparisons.

3．What is Ben Nevis special for?

A．The Inverlochy Castle Hotel.

B．The beauty of its surroundings.

C．The water from the mountain.

D．The challenge up to its top.

4．What is the main purpose of the passage?

A．To introduce Scottish traditions to tourists.

B．To show the attractions of Scotland to readers.

C．To explore geographical characteristics of Scotland.

D．To describe the pleasures of life in Scotland.

Different Cultures

The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. __1__

The origin of the Eastern culture is mainly from two countries：China and India. Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers — the Yellow River in China and the Indus River in India. __2__

When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain — the Mesopotamian Civilisation. This civilisation later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. __3__ Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn't distinguish from the European culture a lot.

__4__ Take the language system for example. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race difference count as well. But what's more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and the West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference from the other.

The differences are everywhere. __5__ But different cultures make the world of the 21st century more colourful. The cultural gap should not be the obstacle (障碍) to the civilisation of human beings. It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.

A．Let us work together to keep a variety of culture.

B．One important thing is to learn about other cultures.

C．And these two are well­known as the base of the European culture.

D．At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences.

E．This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.

F．They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.

G．They are obvious and affect people's ways of thinking and their views of the world.
