Passage One
By the Treaty of Paris of 1763, which ended the war with the French and the Indians, England gained possession of Canada and all the territory east of the Mississippi River. French influence
on this continent thus came to an end; England now controlled most of North America. But the war had been long and expensive. England had many debts. George III, king of England, after consulting with his advisers,decided that the American colonists(殖民者) should help pay some
of the expenses of this war.
A standing English army of 10,000 men had been left in the colonies(殖民地) for protection against the Indians. The English government also felt that the colonists should share in the expenses of maintaining this army. The result was a series of measures, the Grenville Program, passed by Parliament and designed to raise money in the colonies. Some of these measures were accepted by the colonists, but one in particular, the Stamp Act, was met with great protest.
The Stamp Act required that stamps, ranging in price from a few cents to almost a dollar, be placed on all newspapers, advertisements, bills of sale, wills, legal papers, etc. The Stamp Act was one of the causes of the American Revolution. It affected everyone, rich and poor alike. Some businessmen felt that the act would surely ruin their businesses.
Of all the voices raised in protest to the Stamp Act, none had greater effect than that of a young lawyer from Virginia -Patrick Henry. Henry had only recently been elected to the Virginia Assembly. Yet when the Stamp Act came up for discussion, he opposed it almost single-handedly. He also expressed, for the first time, certain ideas that were held by many Americans of the time but that never before had been stated so openly. "Is life so dear or peace so sweet, as to be bought at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty(万能的) God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!"
1.From the text we learn that ___________________.
A、Britain took over Canada from the Indians in 1763
B、there had been a war between the French and the Indians which ended in 1763
C、France used to have control of Canada and some areas east of the Mississippi River

2.The Grenville Program refers to ___________________.
A、King George III’s plan to gather money in North America
B、the British government’s desire to raise money in North America
C、a plan to share the expenses of maintaining an army in the American colonies
D、a decision of the British Parliament to collect money in the American colonies
3.The Stamp Act ___________________.
A、was an act about selling stamps at prices from a few cents to almost a dollar
B、required that all commercial and legal documents in America have stamps on them
C、was the main cause of the American Revolution
D、chiefly affected business people who felt it would ruin their businesses
4.From the text we learn that Patrick Henry ___________________.
A、had been a member of the Virginia Assembly for a long time
B、didn’t know what courses to take to complete his studies as a lawyer
C、was almost the only one who openly protested against the Stamp Act
D、didn’t value life or peace as much as other people did
5.This passage is mainly about ___________________.
A、one of the events leading to the American Revolution
B、the Treaty of Paris between Britain and France
C、the Grenville Program to raise money in the American colonies
D、Patrick Henry, a hero who opposed the Stamp Act
Passage Two
A number of recent books have reworked subjects, forms and writing techniques. Today’s children read stories about divorce, death, drugs, air pollution, political extremism and violence. Relying on the magic of the illustrator, all kinds of books are being published.
Before they know to read, babies can play with books made of cloth or books made to take in the bath. Later on, they are given picture books that may be cubical(立方形的)or triangular, outsized or very small. They also like work-books which come with watercolors and paintbrushes, and comic books(漫画册)filled with details where they have to spot a figure hidden among thousands of others. Not that the traditional child ren’s books are being neglected. There are still storybooks where the pages pop up(跳起)when they are opened, to make a forest or a castle. Among the latest ideas are interactive stories where readers choose the plot(情节)or ending they want, and books on CD, which are very popular in rich industrialized countries.
The public has enthusiastically greeted the wealth of creativity displayed by publishers. "Previously, giving a child a book as often seen as improper," says Canadian author Marie-France Hebért. Her books, published by a French-language publisher, sell like hot cakes in hundreds of thousands of copies. "There’s a real appetite for reading these days and I try to get across to childr -en the passion for reading which is food for the mind and the heart, like a medicine or a vitamin."

3.Which of the following statements is true? ____________.
A、Books made of cloth came out earlier than picture books.
B、When you buy work-books you will be given free comic books.
C、Traditional children’s books are not being removed from market.
D、Babies cannot have books while taking a bath.
4.The expression "get across to children" in the last paragraph probably means "___________".
A、pass on to children
B、make children believe
C、teach children
D、get around to children
5.The main idea of the last paragraph is that people have ___________________.
A、warmly welcomed the abundance of wealth shown by publishers
B、warmly welcomed the enormous amount of creativity shown by publishers
C、showed great enthusiasm in publishers of treat wealty
D、reacted strongly to the unlimited creativity of publishers
Ⅵ.Please translate these sentences into Chinese
1. Do not treat all new words in exactly the same way. Have you ever complained about your memory because you find it simply impossible to memorize all the new words you are learning?
2. The next night, the blackest he had ever known, the sea became so rough that the boat almost turned over. Food, clothes, and broken glass were all mixed together.
3. The cheque fluttered to the floor like a bird with a broken wing. Slowly the old lady stooped to pick it up.

When dad told us about the delivery work it sounded easy, just a piece of cake. The trouble was, we didn’t take care to inquire just how much material was involved. Before long trucks seemed to be pulling up outside our house all day long, leaving stacks of advertising. It seemed we should have no chance of meeting the deadline. The we had this marvelous idea. Hiring local kids to help would enable us to get the job done on time. True, it would cut into our profits, but there was no alternative. things seemed to be going well, but then we had trouble over a pay claim. Our workers demanded five dollars an hour, but fortunately for us they were ready to settle for less. As for us, when we finally settled our accounts we ended up earning less than the minimum wage for our efforts. I guess we should have know better than to believe that big bucks come easy. While it is often said that love makes the world go round, scientists take a less romantic view. To their minds, energy is the fundamental force at work. All animal life is dependent on obtaining sufficient energy from food. Deer, like other wild animals, do this through eating as much food as possible in the summer, when food resources are abundant. Any excess of energy over their current needs is deposited in the body in the form of fat. Then, when food becomes scarce in the winter, they can live off the fat. In addition, nature helps them to survive the winter by slowing down their metabolism, assisting them to pull through the cold weather. However, when the winter is particularly harsh, deer may have to draw on the fat they have built up more heavily. Under such conditions, only deer in good condition are able to survive to give birth to a new generation. In his essay George Orwell starts off by citing Bernard Shaw’s remark that people are more superstitious today than they were in the Middle Ages. They promptly accept the opinions of experts without asking any questions themselves. Obviously Shaw exaggerates just in order to prove his point that we should not always fall back on the theories of well-known authorities. Rather, we should aim at finding out some things for ourselves. By way of illustration, Orwell outlines arguments against the Flat Earth and the Oval Earth theories, thus throwing light on the fact that much of our knowledge actually rests on authority rather than on reasoning or on experiment. Finally, Orwell draws his conclusion that ours is a credulous age partly because we have such an exceptionally heavy burden of knowledge. The last time Lyz saw her husband was as he waved goodbye to her from the steps of their house. He was due to fly off on business later that day. Unluckily for him his flight was cancelled and he found himself having to take United Flight 93 the following day. It was from on board that ill-fated flight that he telephoned with the news that hijackers had threatened to blow up the aircraft. Cursing his bad luck, he nonetheless realized that his fate was in his own hands. Hoping that the terrorists were bluffing when they claimed to have a bomb, he and some other passengers decided to act. Without hanging up, he set off with the others to attack the hijackers. From the telephone came the sound of screams. Then silence.
