37、r sheet.Passage 1By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground.Mo

38、st people regard snakebites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measur

39、es.All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you ta

40、ke it by surprise and step on it accidentally or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.The effect of a

41、 bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resi

42、stance against the poison.Very few people actually die from snakebites in Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.81. Adders are most likely to be found _.A. in wilder pa

43、rts of Britain and Ireland B. in Scotland and nowhere elseC. on uncultivated land throughout Britain D. in shady fields in England82.

44、 will the adder NOT attacking you?A. When you try to catch it. B. When you are some distance away from it.C. When you happen to step on it. D. When you try to pick it up.84. If an adder hears you coming, it will usually _.A. attack you immediately B. move very quicklyC. wait to frighten you D. get o

45、ut of the way85. According to the passage, a snake bite is _.A. less harmful to a sick man than to a healthy manB. more harmful to a child than to an adultC. much more dangerous than any serious illnessD. always fatal in BritainPassage 2Around the world, people gather to explore their emotions throu

46、gh dance. The dances are created as part of celebrations, as religious services, as preparation for challenging hunts and warfare and to express sorrow (less often than the other situations). Indeed, dance does play an important role within a culture and reveals a wide range of information about the

47、 characteristics of a culture. Three of the most revealing aspects of dance are the nature of the culture's symbols and art forms revealed in costumes and equipment, the body language (moves and gestures) which give information about social contact behaviors and frequently the style of preferred

48、 music for the culture.Ethnic dances, and certainly popular dancing, anywhere around the world have associated preferences for costumes and special clothing. Through dancing, the participants are able to reveal and express their chosen role in the garments they choose; social roles in the dance are

49、shown public ally to the observers as well as the other dancers. Frequently dancers utilize objects like swords or sticks or hoops or musical instruments to further reveal information about their role in the social story portrayed in the dance. Items such as special headwear and jewelry are further

50、examples of the garments that in general express preferences and culturally significant details about the particular culture.Dancers, by the very nature of the activity, physically express beliefs and attitudes associated with their specific culture. In many dances the participants are modeling typi

51、cal activities of their culture and thus imparting instructions and historical information to the audience. In other dances, one can see expressions of deep emotion: love, worship, grief, strength, anger, etc. and thus obtain clues about the inner feelings of the culture's individuals. Dance pro

52、vides an opportunity for others to witness some of the special behaviors associated with activities in the culture. Also, dance is a (usually) public statement so that observers can see how members of the culture treat those who are older members of the opposite sex, more respected members, etc.The

53、third aspect of dance that reveals much about a culture is the music or singing that is typically a part of the event. Observers can see evidence of the types of instruments characteristics of the culture, and who plays these instruments as well as how they are used - instruments may be associated o

54、nly with special events and thus transmit valuable cultural information. Frequently singing is part of a dance program, and again an observer has an opportunity to observe who is singing and the nature of the voices. I found this aspect of dance particularly fascinating during a brief time I spent in a rural village in Zimbabwe a few years ago.Dancing is indeed a very important aspect of a
