    试题分析：这篇短文讲述的是盐的历史，人们从什么时候开始使用盐这个事我们并不知道，但是我们知道在整个历史上盐已经被用多种方法来使用了。
    小题1:考查连词及语境的理解。句意：关于人们从什么时候开始使用盐这个事我们并不知道。when 什么时候；where 在哪里；what 什么；which哪一个。根据句意可知，这里是说不知道人们从什么时候开始使用盐。故选A。
    小题2:考查介词及语境的理解。句意：但是我们知道贯穿整个历史，盐已经被用多种方法来使用了。throughout 贯穿，遍及；thought做名词是想法的意思；另外它还可以是think 的过去式，认为，思考的意思；though连词，尽管，虽然；although 与though 同义。throughout the history 是一个固定搭配，贯穿整个历史，在这里表示历史悠久。故选A。
    小题3:考查动词及语境的理解。句意：例如，在很多历史书中记载：三千多年前的人们就开始吃咸鱼了。A. say说，强调说的内容；    B. reported 报道；C. recorded  记载，记录；D. reading阅读。这里是一个句型it is recorded that 据记载…，这里是根据一些历史书籍中的记载，并且下文Books also record that 也暗示了我们答案。故选C。
    小题4:考查动词及语境的理解。句意：例如，在很多历史书中记载：三千多年前的人们就开始吃咸鱼了四个选项中都是动词eat 的形式，意思是：吃。A. eat 是动词的原形；B .ate   是eat 的过去式；C. eating是一个现在分词的形式；D. have eaten是现在完成时的形式。根据句中three thousand years ago 可知，这句话说的是三千多年前的事情，应该用一般过去时态。故选B。
    小题5:考查动词及语境的理解。句意：几千年前在埃及，盐被用来保存死人。A. used to  过去常常，后面跟动词的原形；B. was used to被用来做…，后面跟动词原形；C. was used 被使用，是一个被动语态；D. used使用，是use 的过去式。根据句意可知，这里应该表示盐被用来做…，故选B。
    小题6:考查介词及语境的理解。句意：它可以使死尸不腐烂。A. off 离开；B. from从…；C. on   在…上面，或在具体某一天；D. out出去。这句话中keep …from…是一个固定句型，阻止…做某事。这里的意思是不让死尸腐烂。故介词应该是from。
    小题7:考查动词及语境的理解。句意：在18世纪，偷盐的人被认为是犯法的。A. think   认为，思考；B. consider考虑，认为；C. thoughtful有思想的，是一个形容词；D. thought是think 的过去分词。根据句意可知，这里表示的是一个被动语态，即偷盐被认为是犯法的。故选D。
    小题8:考查名词及语境的理解。句意：在18世纪，偷盐的人被认为是犯法的A. law法律；B. glass玻璃；C. computer电脑；D. time时间。break the law 是固定短语，触犯法律。故选A。其他选项的意思与文意无关。
    小题9:考查名词及语境的理解。句意：如果一个人被抓住偷了盐，那么他会被送进监狱。A. pool   池塘；B. hill小山；    C. prison  监狱；D. river河，河流。根据上文可知，在18世纪时偷盐是犯法的，所以如果被抓住偷盐了，应该是被送进监狱的。下句话中put into prison也可以告诉我们答案。故选C。
    小题10:考查连词及语境的理解。句意：书中记载在那个世纪的英国有大约1万人因为偷盐被送进了监狱。A. because因为，是一个连词，后面引导原因状语从句；    B. because of  因为，后跟名词或动词的ing形式；C. by  通过…方式；D. as做介词，是作为的意思。根据句意可知，这里是说因为偷盐而进监狱，表示的是原因，并且空后跟的是一个动词ing形式的短语。故选B。
    小题11:考查形容词及语境的理解。句意：在1553年，如果一个人拿的盐比他应该分到的更多的话，他就被认为是触犯了法律，会受到严厉的惩罚。A. more  更多的，是比较级形式；B. less  更少的，也是一个比较级，原级是little；C. fewer更少的，是few的比较级；    D. most最多的，是一个最高级形式。根据句意和空后的than可知，这里应该用比较级形式，且应该是拿的盐比应分的更多会受到惩罚。故选A。
    小题12:考查形容词及语境的理解。句意：在1553年，如果一个人拿的盐比他应该分到的更多的话，他就被认为是触犯了法律，会受到严厉的惩罚。A. serious形容词，严肃的，严厉的；B. bad 形容词，糟糕的；C. terrible形容词，可怕的，糟糕的；D seriously副词，严厉的。这里应该用副词形式来修饰动词punished。故选D。
    小题13:考查形容词及语境的理解。句意：在国王的餐桌上，盐是非常重要的。A. important 重要的； B. necessary   必要的；C. clever聪明的；   D. cheerful欢呼的。根据这一段的内容可知，盐在国王的餐桌上是非常重要的，它离国王最近。尊贵的客人离它近一些，不重要的客人离它更远。所以这里是告诉我们盐在那个时候是多么的重要。故选A。
    小题14:考查介词及语境的理解。句意：盐总是被放在国王的面前。A. in the front of在…前部； B behind在…后面；    C. in front of 在…前面；D. before在…之前，表示时间。根据上一句话和这一段的内容可知，盐在那时是很重要的，所以它应该被放在国王的面前。故选C。
    小题15:考查连词及语境的理解。句意：重要的客人坐在盐的旁边，而不重要的客人则坐在远离它的位置上。A. when当…时候；B. as当…时候；   C. however 然而，是一个副词，后面应有逗号隔开；D. while在这里是然而的意思，表示对比。根据句意可知选D。

    Living in a foreign culture can be exciting, but it can also be confusing (令人迷惑的). A group of Americans who taught English in other countries recently discussed their experiences. They decided that miscommunications were always possible, even over something as simple as "yes" and "no".

    On her first day in Micronesia, an island in the Pacific, Lisa thought people weren’t paying any attention to her. The day was hot. She went into a store and asked, “Do you have cold drinks. The woman there didn’t say anything. Lisa repeated the question. Still the Woman said nothing. She later learned that the woman had answered her:  She had raised her eyebrows (眉毛), which in Micronesia means "yes".
    Jan remembered an experience she had in Bulgaria, a country in Europe. She went to a restaurant that was known for its cabbage. She asked the waiter, "Do, you have cabbage today?" He nodded his head. Jan waited, but the cabbage never came. In that country, a nod means no.
    Tom had a similar problem when he arrived in India. After explaining something in class, he asked his students if they understood. They answered with many different nods and shakes of the head. He thought some people had not understood, so he explained again. When he asked again, they did the same thing~ He soon found out that his students did understand. In India, people nod and shake their heads in different ways depending on where they come from. You have to know where a person is from to understand whether they mean "yes" or "no".

    Give this memory test a try. Mix up 52 playing cards. Now look at the top seven for a second. Can you remember them in order?
    Players at the World Memory Championships can. In fact, the 2002 champion (冠军), Andi, memorized the order of 1196 cards after looking at them for only an hour! And a German girl, Lara, only ten years old, memorized 75 faces and names in fifteen minutes!
    In 1987, a Japanese man, Mr. Tomoyori, wanted to prove that his memory was the best in the world by remembering by heart pi (π), a number in math which starts 3.14159…This number never repeats itself or ends. He recited pi to 40,000 decimal places (小数位). It took the fifty-five-year-old man more than twelve hours to say the numbers, but he did it without making a mistake!
    To remember pi, Mr. Tomoyori connected each number with a sound. He then made up stories to help him remember the words he made from the sounds. In an interview after his achievement, he said, “I decided to go ahead and memorize the value of pi up to one thousand places. But it wasn’t easy – in fact, it took me three years. To get to 40,000 decimal places it took me about ten years.”
    Unluckily for Mr. Tomoyori, his record was broken in 1995, when another Japanese man, Mr. Goto, memorized pi to 42,195 places.
    小题1:Why was Lara’s success special?
    A．She was just a little girl.B．She was the 2002 champion.
    C．She was from Germany.D．She remembered more words.
    小题2:What is true about Mr. Tomoyori?
    A．He found pi easy to remember.
    B．His memory was the best in the world.
    C．He used stories to help remember words.
    D．He only made one mistake while saying pi.
    小题3:Who remembered the greatest numbers according to the passage?
    A．Andi.B．Lara.C．Mr. Goto.D．Mr. Tomoyori.
