问题     Cultures are different because the locations they exist in are
different. Some people living in the desert, are going to live
differently from people live in a jungle. So when they have to decide【S1】______
why the sky is blue, if you’re living in the jungle and there are
loads of blue flowers, you might say it’s because there are loads of
these blue flowers up here. If you live in the desert you might have【S2】______
ever seen a blue flower so you say it’s because there’s water up【S3】______
there. So people come out with this different stuff, and then they【S4】______
elaborate on it, and change it around. Then their kids move to
different places and it gets all mix up, and the stories change, and【S5】______
people invent science and that changes everything too—although the【S6】______
beginnings are still there. Everyone knows now that the sky’s blue
because light wavelength absorption differences, but you still have【S7】______
people who grew up one way saying " My grandmother told me a
story about blue flowers in the sky" and the other people say "my【S8】______
grandmother told me a story about seas of water in the sky" , and
that’s a different culture.
    In the Mediterranean they never saw corn unless they sent【S9】______
people exploring to the Americas; and in the Americas they’d never
seen olives until the guys from the Mediterranean brought some up.【S10】______
The people in the Americas have made a lot of corn cakes and corn
bread and stuff, and that was part of their culture; and the guys
from the Mediterranean made a lot of olive stuff, oil and foods, and
that was part of their culture.
【S9】
选项
答案unless—until
解析 连词误用。该处的意思是“地中海地区的居民从未见过玉米，直到他们派遣一些人去了美国”。not(never)…until…为固定搭配，意思是“直到……才……”，而unless的意思是“除非”，不符合句意，故将unless改为until。
