第3题

If people mean anything at all by the expression "untimely death", they must believe that

some deaths mn on a better schedule than others. Death in old age is rarely called untimely—a long life is thought to be a full one. But with the passing of a young person, one assumes that the best years lay ahead and the measures of that life were still to be taken.

History denies this, of course. Among prominent summer deaths, one recalls those of Marilyn Monroe and James Deans, whose lives seemed equally brief and complete. Writers cannot bear the fact that poet John Keats died at 26, and only half playfully judge their own lives as failures when they pass that year. The idea that the life cut short is unfulfilled is illogical because lives are measured by the impressions they leave on the world and by their intensity and virtue.

Most English people have three names: a first name, a middle name and the family name. The

ir family name comes last. For example, my full name is Jim Allan Green. Green is my family name. My parents gave me both of my other names.

People don't use their middle names very much. So" John Henry Brown" is usually called "John Brown". People never use Mr.; Mrs. or Miss before their first names. So you can say John Brown, or Mr. Brown; but you should never say Mr. John. They use Mr. , Mrs. or Miss with the family name but never with the first name.

Sometimes people ask me about my name. "When were you born, why did your parents call you Jim？" they ask. "Why did they choose that name？ The answer is they didn't call me Jim. They called me James. James was the name of my grandfather'. In England, people usually call me Jim for short. That's because it is shorter and easier than James.

Most English people have ______ name(s).

A．one

B．two

C．three

D．four

第9题

In Washington D. C. , 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is a very special address. It is the addres

s of the White House, the home of the President of the United States.

Originally the White House was gray and was called the Presidential Palace. It was built from 1792 to 1800. At this time, the city of Washington itself was being built. It was to be the nation's new capital city. George Washington, the first President, and Pierre Charles L'Enfant, a French engineer, chose the place for the new city. L'Enfant then planned the city. The President's home was an important part of the plan.

A contest was held to pick a design for the President's home. An architect named James Hoban won. He designed a large three-story house of gray stone.

President Washington never lived in the Presidential Palace. The first President to live there was John Adams, the second President of the United States, and his wife. Mrs. Adams did not really like her new house. In her letters, she often complained about the cold. Fifty fireplaces were not enough to keep the house warm.

In 1812 the United States and Britain went to war. In 1814 the British invaded Washington. They burned many buildings, including the Presidential Palace.

After the war James Hoban, the original architect, partially rebuilt the President's home. To cover the marks of the fire, the building was painted white. Before long it became known as the White House.

The White House is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States. Every year more than 1. 5 million visitors go through the five rooms that are open to the public.

The White House was built in Washington______.

A．because a French engineer was invited to design it

B．because President George Washington liked to live in it

C．because the British invaders lived in it in 1812—1814

D．because it was to be the nation's capital city

第10题

Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young man are still in existence. They s

how that he was learning Latin, was very interested in the basics of good behaviour in society, and was reading English literature.

At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics. In fact his formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentleman, and incomplete. For unlike other young Virginian gentlemen of that day, he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital of Williamsburg. In terms of formal training then, Washington contrasts sharply with some other early American Presidents such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress, or on any subject that had not to do with everyday, practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe.

What reason does the author give for Washington not going to college？

A．His family could not afford it.

B．A college education was rather uncommon in his times.

C．He didn't like the young Virginian gentlemen who went to college.

D．The author doesn't give any reason.
