(2024·皖北协作区高三联考)A former RAF (Royal Air Force) Spitfire pilot Peter Proctor, who fought in the World War Two, parachuted (跳伞) for the first time — at the grand old age of 92. Mr Proctor jumped out of a plane for the first time at Sibson Airfield, Peterborough, more than 70 years after he joined the RAF.
Mr Proctor, who has two artificial hips (臀部) and a false knee, jumped more than 13,000 feet to successfully complete his
first ever freefall jump.He said, “I've spent a lot of my life up in the air but this was a completely different experience. It was a nightmare trying to open up the hatches (舱口) and jump out of the plane back then, but I am so glad I have managed to complete the jump and I would love to do it again in the near future.”
Mr Proctor joined the RAF in 1942 and he was stationed in Durban, South Africa, to do his training before being sent to Zimbabwe where he earned his wings.

He ended his career in the armed forces in 1946 to return to his job as a store keeper in a shoe factory and went on to become a lorry driver for 33 years.
His wife, Olive, passed away eight years ago, but Mr Proctor has been determined to continue traveling around the world. He said, “Olive died eight years ago and it was absolutely

Different Cultures
The cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot. 1.________
The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers — the Yellow River in China and the Hindu 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 Civilization. This civilization 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 counts as well.
But what's more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries.
So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference (干扰) from the other.
The differences are everywhere. 5.________ But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful.
The cultural gap should not be the obstacle (障碍)
to the civilization of human being.
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 well known 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.

Ⅳ.短文改错
(2024·烟台市二模)I was not good in math in the first year of junior high school. Having been failed so many times in math exams, I was anxious about the subject. Every time I tried hardly to work out a math problem, I was afraid of making mistakes, that really made me feel helpless. Luckily, I met a nice math teacher in second year. She told me that I didn't need to worry about making mistakes because I could find out my shortcomings through my mistake. She always encouraged myself to try again whenever I make a mistake. Thanks to my teacher's encouragement, I became interesting in math and made rapid progress. My experience proves that failure was the mother of success and that we can learn a lot from our mistakes.
