2.During the first half of the seventeenth century, when the nations of Europe were quarreling over who owned the New World, the Dutch and the Swedes founded competing villages ten miles apart on the Delaware River. Not long afterward, the English took over both places and gave them new names, New Castle and Wilmington.For a century and a half the two villages grew rapidly, but gradually Wilmington gained all the advantages. It was a little closer to Philadelphia, so when new textile mills opened, they opened in Wilmington, not in New Castle. There was plenty of water power from rivers and creeks at Wilmington, so when young Irenee DuPont chose a place for his gunpowder mill, it was Wilmington he chose, not New Castle. Wilmington became a town and then a city —a rather important city, much the largest in Delaware. And New Castle, bypassed by the highways and waterways that made Wilmington prosperous, slept ten miles south on the Delaware River. No two villages with such similar pasts could have gone such separate ways. Today no two pieces could be more different.Wilmington, with its expressways and parking lots and all its other concrete ribbons and badges, is a tired old veteran of the industrial wars and wears a vacant stare. Block after city block where people used to live and shop is broken and empty.New Castle never had to make way for progress and therefore never had any reason to tear down its seventeenth-and eighteenth-century houses. So they are still here, standing in tasteful rows under ancient elms around the original town green. New Castle is still an agreeable place to live. The pretty buildings of its quiet past make a serene setting for the lives of 4,800 people. New Castle may be America's loveliest town, but it is not an important town at all. Progress passed it by.Poor New Castle.Lucky Wilmington.Which is the major factor that made the difference between Wilmington and New Castle?A.Convenience for traffic.B.The Delaware River.C.The investment of Irenee DuPont.D.The textiles mills.

  • 第1题:

    I bought a new house last year, but I_________ my old house yet, so at the moment I have two houses.

    A. didn't sell

    B. have not sold

    C. had not sold

    D. don't sell


    正确答案:B
    本句考查动词时态,yet为完成时标志副词。didn’t sell为一般过去时否定形式,表过去某时发生的动作或情况等;have not sold为现在完成时否定形式,强调以前发生的动作对现在的影响;had not sold为过去完成时否定形式,表过去某时以前业已发生的动作;don’t sell为一般现在时否定形式,表习惯性动作、现在的能力和特征或状态等。题干的意思是:“我去年买了一座新房子,但我还没卖掉那座旧房子,所以现在我有两座房子”

    D. should have missed


    正确答案:C

  • 第3题:

    The sentence" We have people. . . down the road" ( Line 4, Paragraph 2)probably means

    [ A] we have people calling us for parking space two years ahead of time.

    [ B] people called us for permission to use the places two years ago.

    [ C] we received calls from people down the road two years ago.

    [D] people called us for school vacancies two years in advance.


    正确答案:D
    42.D该题为释义题。根据后一句“We have grandparents calling for pregnant daughters.”可知,有些家长会提前向私立学校咨询孩子入学的事情。因此可以推知“We have people calling us for spots two years down the road.”意为“有人提前两年就打电话咨询学校是否会有名额。”,故选D。

It is situated on the coast, and the beautiful, green Pentland hills are not far from the city centre.

With a population of almost half a million people, the city is an exciting mix of traditional and modern.  (2) ______.  The first stop for most visitors to the city is the castle on Castle Rock. It is certainly worth a visit and the area nearby is full of shops that sell whisky and tartans to the tourists. Edinburgh’s most famous street, the Royal Mile, runs from the castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse and the Scottish Parliament. Along the street, you can see many interesting buildings and you can stop for a drink at a traditional, old Scottish pub.  (3) ______.

    we have people calling us for parking space two years ahead of time

    B

    people called us for permission to use the places two years ago

    C

    we received calls from people down the road two years ago

    D

    people called us for school vacancies two years in advance


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    词句理解题。理解本句的关键是看Marilyn是在什么样的情况下说这句话的,即要看此句的前一句——申请者过多,而拒收率也更高。因此,直接引语肯定是补充说明或进一步阐述这种情况的。另外,本句中的two years down the road指的是从现在开始的两年后,含有“提前”之意。而本文的主旨是入学问题,故spots是指能入学的名额。故D项为正确答案吧。A项中的parking space意为“停车位”。B项中的use of the place意为“使用这个地方”,都曲解了引语中spots的意思。而B、C两项中的two years ago则曲解了这一句中的two years down the road一处。

    greater efforts should be made to improve people’s living standards

    B

    70 percent of the people there have been, employed for two years

    C

    50 percent of the population no longer relies on welfare

    D

    the living standards of most people are going down


    正确答案: B

    细节推断题。B项“70%的人就业已达2年”。第二段称70%的脱离福利照顾的人在过去两年里参加了工作,但并没说该郡70%的人参加工作已达2年,故B项有误。C项“50%的人口不再依赖福利政策”,文而章说雅典郡的贫困率在30%以上,为全国贫困率的2倍,显然C项错误。D项“大多数人的生活水平在下降”也与文章不符。A项“为提高人民生活水准尚须做出巨大努力”与第三段“作为穷人的代言人,这表明,尚须做更多的努力”属同义转述。因此,A项为答案。

    问答题
    Americans are used to ordering things ranging from French fries to popcorn in small, medium or supersize. Now those same decision-making skills may become rueful in the bathroom, thanks to an innovative plumbing technology: dual-flush toilets. The new invention is the industry’s latest attempt to help reduce water usage, a movement that hasn’t always gone smoothly. The last big toilet makeover came more than a decade ago, when the U.S. government decreed that new toilets should use just 1.6 gallons of water per flush, down from the 3.5-gallon standard. But consumers complained that it often took two or more flushes to clear the bowl; so many people preferred the old toilets that some plumbers imported them illegally from Canada.

    正确答案:
    美国人不管是买炸薯条还是爆米花,都习惯选择要小号的、中号的,还是大号的。现在,由于一项冲水技术上的革新,即:两用冲水座便器,这种在卫生间设备方面做决定的技巧可能会令人为难。这一新发明是该行业的一个最新尝试,旨在促进节约用水。而节水运动开展得并不总是十分顺利。上一次关于卫生间的重大变革还是十几年前的事,当时美国政府规定,新的座便器每次冲水的标准要从3.5加仑降低到1.6加仑。可是消费者却抱怨说,有时侯需要冲两次甚至更多次才能冲干净。所以许多人仍然喜欢老式座便器。结果一些水管工人便从加拿大非法进口老式座便器。
