試題分析：這篇短文講述的是鹽的歷史，人們從什么時候開始使用鹽這個事我們并不知道，但是我們知道在整個歷史上鹽已經(jīng)被用多種方法來使用了。
小題1:考查連詞及語境的理解。句意：關(guān)于人們從什么時候開始使用鹽這個事我們并不知道。when 什么時候；where 在哪里；what 什么；which哪一個。根據(jù)句意可知，這里是說不知道人們從什么時候開始使用鹽。故選A。
小題2:考查介詞及語境的理解。句意：但是我們知道貫穿整個歷史，鹽已經(jīng)被用多種方法來使用了。throughout 貫穿，遍及；thought做名詞是想法的意思；另外它還可以是think 的過去式，認為，思考的意思；though連詞，盡管，雖然；although 與though 同義。throughout the history 是一個固定搭配，貫穿整個歷史，在這里表示歷史悠久。故選A。
小題3:考查動詞及語境的理解。句意：例如，在很多歷史書中記載：三千多年前的人們就開始吃咸魚了。A. say說，強調(diào)說的內(nèi)容；    B. reported 報道；C. recorded  記載，記錄；D. reading閱讀。這里是一個句型it is recorded that 據(jù)記載…，這里是根據(jù)一些歷史書籍中的記載，并且下文Books also record that 也暗示了我們答案。故選C。
小題4:考查動詞及語境的理解。句意：例如，在很多歷史書中記載：三千多年前的人們就開始吃咸魚了四個選項中都是動詞eat 的形式，意思是：吃。A. eat 是動詞的原形；B .ate   是eat 的過去式；C. eating是一個現(xiàn)在分詞的形式；D. have eaten是現(xiàn)在完成時的形式。根據(jù)句中three thousand years ago 可知，這句話說的是三千多年前的事情，應該用一般過去時態(tài)。故選B。
小題5:考查動詞及語境的理解。句意：幾千年前在埃及，鹽被用來保存死人。A. used to  過去常常，后面跟動詞的原形；B. was used to被用來做…，后面跟動詞原形；C. was used 被使用，是一個被動語態(tài)；D. used使用，是use 的過去式。根據(jù)句意可知，這里應該表示鹽被用來做…，故選B。
小題6:考查介詞及語境的理解。句意：它可以使死尸不腐爛。A. off 離開；B. from從…；C. on   在…上面，或在具體某一天；D. out出去。這句話中keep …from…是一個固定句型，阻止…做某事。這里的意思是不讓死尸腐爛。故介詞應該是from。

小題8:考查名詞及語境的理解。句意：在18世紀，偷鹽的人被認為是犯法的A. law法律；B. glass玻璃；C. computer電腦；D. time時間。break the law 是固定短語，觸犯法律。故選A。其他選項的意思與文意無關(guān)。

小題10:考查連詞及語境的理解。句意：書中記載在那個世紀的英國有大約1萬人因為偷鹽被送進了監(jiān)獄。A. because因為，是一個連詞，后面引導原因狀語從句；    B. because of  因為，后跟名詞或動詞的ing形式；C. by  通過…方式；D. as做介詞，是作為的意思。根據(jù)句意可知，這里是說因為偷鹽而進監(jiān)獄，表示的是原因，并且空后跟的是一個動詞ing形式的短語。故選B。

小題12:考查形容詞及語境的理解。句意：在1553年，如果一個人拿的鹽比他應該分到的更多的話，他就被認為是觸犯了法律，會受到嚴厲的懲罰。A. serious形容詞，嚴肅的，嚴厲的；B. bad 形容詞，糟糕的；C. terrible形容詞，可怕的，糟糕的；D seriously副詞，嚴厲的。這里應該用副詞形式來修飾動詞punished。故選D。

小題14:考查介詞及語境的理解。句意：鹽總是被放在國王的面前。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，表示時間。根據(jù)上一句話和這一段的內(nèi)容可知，鹽在那時是很重要的，所以它應該被放在國王的面前。故選C。

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.

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 (冠軍), 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 (小數(shù)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.
小題1:Why was Lara’s success special?
A．She was just a little girl.B．She was the 2002 champion.

D．He only made one mistake while saying pi.
