Passage Two

Started in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of all the many colleges and universities in the United States. Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.

In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men went to college. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers (大臣) or teachers.

In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvard's law school. In 1825, besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began teaching American history.

As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.

Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are made up of smaller schools that deal with (涉及) special fields of learning. There's so much to learn that one kind of school can't offer it all.

36. The oldest university in the US is______.

A. Yale

B. Princeton

C. Harvard

D. Columbia

Passage Two America put more people in prison in the 1990s than in any decade in its his

Passage Two

America put more people in prison in the 1990s than in any decade in its history. That started a debate over the wisdom of spending billions of dollars to keep nearly 2 million people locked up. According to statistics, the United States ends 1999 with 1983084 men and women in prisons. That shows an increase of nearly 840,000 prisoners during the 1990s and makes the United States the country with the highest prisoner population in the world. With the cost of housing a prisoner at about $20,000 a year the cost in 1999 for keeping all these prisoners behind bars is about $39 billion.

Some experts argue that the money is well spent, saying the cost of keeping prisoners behind bars doesn't seem much in comparison in the 1990s coincided with (与……相一致) a steady drop in the US crime rates. It is reported that serious crime has decreased for seven years in a row. "There are noticeable number of people who don't do crimes because they don't want to go to prison," they say.

36. There is a heated debate among American experts because ______.

A. America has put 2 million people in prison

B. the cost for housing a prisoner keeps rising

C. billions of dollars has been spent on prisoners

D. the prisoner population is the largest in the world

Passage Two

I was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember something about the victory celebrations in the small town where I lived on the day when the war in Europe ended. We had not suffered much from the war there. But both at home and at school I had become accustomed to the phrases "before the war" and "when the war's over". "Before the war", apparently, things had been better, though I was too young to understand why, except that there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice -cream and bananas, which I had only heard of . When the war was over we would go back to London, but this meant little to me. I did not remember what London was like.

What I remember now about VE (Victory in Europe) Day was the May evening. After dinner I said I wanted to see the bonfire (大火堆) , so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street. The bonfire was very high, and somehow people had collected some old clothes to dress the un- mistakable figure with the moustache (胡子) they had to put on top of it. Just as we arrived, they set light to it. The flames rose and soon swallowed the "guy". Everyone was cheering and shouting, and an old woman came out of her house with two chairs and threw them on the fire to keep it going.

I stood beside my father until the fire started to go down, not knowing what to say. He said nothing, either. He had fought in the First World War and may have been remembering the end of that. At last he said, "Well, that's it, son. Let's hope that this time it really will be the last one."

40. Where did the author live before the Second World War？

A. In London.

B. In a small town.

C. In Europe.

D. In the countryside.

Anthropology (人类学) is the study of how people live. It includes their family life,

religion, art, laws and language. The term anthropology comes from two Greek words: "anthropos" means "human being" and "logy" means "the science of. Anthropology can be divided into two areas. These two main divisions are cultural anthropology and physical anthropology. Culture includes many things, such as art, religion, laws, and even furniture and movies. Anthropologists define human progress in three main steps. Step one begins with the first human being and continues until the last of the people who hunted animals just to survive. Step two includes people who grew food. In this step, there was progress in invention and religion. The third step deals with the first civilizations, such as those in Egypt and parts of Asia. Anthropologists always seek new information about people. For instance, recent evidence found in Ethiopia and Kenya shows humans earlier in history than it was previously believed.

第8题

Thirty-two people watched Kitty' Genovese being killed right beneath their windows. She wa

s their neighbor. Yet none of them helped her. Not one even called the police. Was this gunman cruelty？ Was it lack of feeling about one's fellow man？

"Not so," say scientists John Barley and Bib Fatane. These men went beyond the headlines to probe the masons why people didn't act. They found that a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice that is an emergency. Suppose you see a middle-aged man fall to the side-walk. Is he having a heart attack？ Is he in a coma(昏迷) from diabetes(糖尿病)？ Or is he about to sleep off a drunk？ Is the smoke coming into the room from a leak in the air conditioning？ Is it "steam pipes"？ Or is it really smoke from a fire？ It's not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency.

Second, and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel personally responsible. He must feel that he must help, or the person won't get the help he needs. The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. They had college students in to be "tested". Some came alone. Some came with one or two others. And some came in large groups. The receptionist started them off on the "tests". Then she went into the next room. A curtain divided the "testing room" and the room into which she went. Soon the students heard a scream, the noise of file cabinets falling and a cry for help. All of these had been pre-recorded on a tape-recorder. Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs, only two out of ten helped. Of the students in groups, none helped.

In other words, in a group, Americans often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, needn't. They do not feel any direct responsibility. Are people bothered by situations where people are in trouble？ Yes. Scientists found that the people were emotional, they sweated, they had trembling hands. They felt the other person's trouble. But they did not act. They were in a group. Their actions, were shaped by the actions of those they were with.

The purpose of this passage is______.

A．to explain why people fail to act in emergencies

B．to explain when people will act in emergencies

C．to explain what people will do in emergencies

D．to explain how people feel in emergencies

第10题

Zeppelins, the big floating airships used to carry passengers and drop bombs until the

1930s, haven’t been seen in American skies for more than 70 years. Now, a California company plans to bring the aircraft back to the United States.

Airship Venture-the name of the zeppelin-arrived in the Bay Area on Saturday, passing over the Golden Gate Bridge on its way to the new home at Moffett Field. Fifteen feet longer than a Boeing 747, the huge aircraft will offer rides that provide a bird’s-eye view of many parts of the Bay Area on Friday. It will hold 12 passengers and two crew members. The ticket price is $495 per person for a one-hour ride. "It can help you see the world in a way that you haven’t experienced before," said Brian Hall, who started the company last year with his wife. "In the zeppelin, you’re flying low and slow. You’re going at a comfortable pace. You’re seeing things that you wouldn’t see from the road."

Zeppelins were invented by Ferdinand von Zeppelin of Germany in the late 19th century to send commercial passengers. They were also used as military carriers until the start of World War II. The zeppelin’s golden age ended in 1937 when the LZ-129 Hindenburg, the largest one ever built, caught fire and burst into flames in New Jersey, killing 35 of 97 people on board.But about ten years ago, German companies began to build zeppelins and offer passenger rides. "The new type,Airship Venture, can carry more than 80,000 passengers with safety." Hall said. He and his wife came up with the business plan for Airship Venture about two years ago. Two more zeppelins, which take about 18 months to build, plan to offer tours from New York to Florida in 2010.

Despite the slumping (衰退的) economy, the company expects to sell about 15,000 tickets a year in the Bay Area, aiming to attract passengers for special days such as birthdays, anniversaries and even weddings.

1、Airship Venture will hold _____ persons for sightseeing on Friday.

A、12

B、13

C、14

D、15

2、We can infer from the passage that _____.

A、zeppelins offer a different way to see the world

B、the zeppelin flies fast at a comfortable pace

C、zeppelins were made by Brian Hall in Germany

D、the zeppelin’s golden age started in World War II

3、Zeppelins were or are used in these ways EXCEPT ______.

A、carrying people for sightseeing

B、sending commercial passengers

C、dropping bombs

D、forecasting weather

4、What happened to the LZ-129 Hindenburg？()

A、Passengers loved it most

B、Passengers were killed on it

C、It was the safest zeppelin

D、It worked as a military carrier

5、Airship Venture targets on people who plan to celebrate _____.

A、birthdays

B、anniversaries

C、weddings

D、all of the above
