Question

【題目】Different people have different ideas about time. People in the USA think that it is important to know the time. In cities in America, there are clocks in stations, factories and other buildings. Radio announcers give you the correct time during the day. Most Americans also have watches with them wherever they go. They want to do certain things at certain time. They don’t like to be late.

But time is not so important to everybody in the world. When you visit a country in South America, you will find that people there don’t like to rush. If you had an appointment with somebody, he could probably be late, because he may not want to arrive on time.

In South America, even the radio programs may not begin on time. The men on the radio may not think it is important to tell the exact time. People in South America think that clocks or watches are just machines. They think that you let a clock or a watch control your life if you do everything on time.

【解析】

文章大意：本文介紹的是人們關(guān)于時間的觀念。在美國，人們認(rèn)為準(zhǔn)時很重要，所以在公共場合到處都安裝著鐘表。而對于在南美洲的居民來說，準(zhǔn)時并不會那么重要，即使是約會，也有可能會遲到，因為他們認(rèn)為鐘表只是一個機(jī)器，不應(yīng)該成為它們的奴隸，不能被它們束縛。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的句子People in the USA think that it is important to know the time.可知，時間對于美國人來說是非常重要的，故答案填people in the USA.

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的句子People in the USA think that it is important to know the time. In cities in America, there are clocks in stations, factories and other buildings.可知，生活在美國的人們認(rèn)為時間很重要，所以在美國的城市里，車站、工廠和其他建筑物里都有鐘；故答案填In stations, factories and other buildings.

【3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文中的句子People in South America think that clocks or watches are just machines. They think that you let a clock or a watch control your life if you do everything on time.可知，南美人認(rèn)為鐘表只是機(jī)器，他們認(rèn)為如果按時做每件事情，就會讓鐘表控制自己的生活，所以他們是為了不想讓鐘表或手表控制他們的生活，才認(rèn)為時間不重要。故答案填They don’t want a clock or a watch to control their life.

【4】主題歸納題。通讀全文可知本文主要講述了不同的人對時間有不同的看法：美國人認(rèn)為時間很重要，但對于生活在南美洲的居民來說他們認(rèn)為時間并不重要。所以文章的第一句Different people have different ideas about time.可以概括本文的主題，故答案為：Different people have different ideas about time.

【5】翻譯題。要求把畫線的英文句子“But time is not so important to everybody in the world.”翻譯成漢語�！�but”但是，轉(zhuǎn)折連詞；“time”時間，在句中作主語；謂語動詞is“是”；“not so important”并非那么重要；“to everybody in the world”對世界各地的每個人；故答案為：但是時間并非對世界各地的每個人都重要。
