4.Passage FourEvery culture and every country in the world celebrates New Year, but not everyone does it the same way. The countries in North America and Europe welcome New Year on January the first. This practice began with the Romans in the Middle East, New Year is when spring begins. People in China and Vietnam celebrate it on the first day of the Spring Festival, which is the first day of their calendar based on the moon. Rosh Hashana, which is the Jewish (犹太人的) New Year, comes at the end of summer. The Hindus (印度教教徒 ) in India celebrate the first day of each season, so they have four New Years.In all these cultures, there is a practice of making noise. People made noise in ancient times to drive away the evil spirits (妖精) from their homes. Today making noise is more of a custom than a religious rimIn the United States, many people stay up until midnight on New Year's Eve to watch the clock pass from one year to the next. Friends often gather together at a party on New Year's Eve, and when the new year comes, all ring bells, blow' whistles, sing songs, and kiss each other. A favorite Scottish song which everyone sings together is Auld Lang Sync. The words tell of old friends and good times.In all cultures, New Year's Day is a time when people think of new beginnings. They want to make the coming year better than the last one. Many people in the United States make New Year resolutions. These are specific promises that they make to improve their behavior, change their habits, and become better people. There are many jokes about how a person keeps his or her New Year resolutions.48. In ancient times, the practice of making noise was meant ______.A. to keep the evil spirits awayB. to have funC. to celebrate the coming of the new yearD. to keep to a custom

  • 第1题:

    It is generally agreed that the first true cities appeared about 5,000 years ago in the food-producing communities of the Middle East. The cities of Sumeria, Egypt and the Indus Valley possessed a number of characteristics that distinguished them as truly urban. The cities were very much larger and more densely populated than any previous settlement, and their function wasclearly differentiated from that of the surrounding villages. In the cities the old patterns of kinship relations were replaced by a complex hierarchy of social classes based on the specialization of
    labor. Moreover, the need to keep records led to the development of writing and arithmetic, and the increased sophistication of urban society gave a new impetus to artistic expression of every kind.
    When the basis of city life was established in Europe the urban tradition was drawn from the ancient cities of the Middle East, via the civilization of Greece and Rome. We can trace three main phases in the growth of the West European city. The first of these is the medieval phase which extends from the beginning of the 1 lth century A.D. to about 1,500 to the beginning of the 19th century. The third is the modern phase extending from the early 19th century to the present day.
    Every medieval city began as a small settlement, which grew up round a geographical or cultural focal point. This would be a permanent structure such as a stronghold, a cathedral or a large church. In districts where travel and trade were well established, it might be a market, a river crossing, or a place where two or more trade routes met, in studies of urban geography the oldest part of town is referred to as the nuclear settlement. There are many small towns in Europe where it is still possible to trace the outline of the original nuclear settlement. It is, of course,
    much more difficult to do this in the case if a large modern city which has grown to many times its original size.
    It is easier to locate its original nuclear settlement of a small town__________.

    A.because it began as a small settlement
    B.because it is less developed
    C.because of its small size
    D.because of its location

    答案:C
    解析:
    根据题干关键词定位到第三段最后一句“It is,of course,much more difficult to do this…its original size”,由此可知,一个面积是原先面积很多倍的大型现代城市,是很难再探寻到其原始核心村落的概貌的。故可推断面积不大是容易探寻其原始核心村落的概貌的原因。故选C。

    The Beginning of American Literature America has always been a land of beginnings.After Europeans"discovered"America in the fifteenth century,the mysterious New World became for many people a genuine hope of a new life,an escape from poverty and persecution,a chance to start again.We can say that,as a nation,America begins with that hope.When,however,does American literature begin?
    American literature begins with American experiences.Long before the first colonists arrived,before Christopher Columbus,before the Northmen who"found"America about the year 1000,native Americans lived here.Each tribe's literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daily life and reflected the unmistakably American experience of linking with the land.Another kind of experience,one filled with fear and excitement,found its expression in the reports that Columbus and other explorers sent home in Spain, French and English.In addition,the journals of the people who lived and died in the New England wilder- ness tell unforgettable tales of hard and sometimes heartbreaking experiences of those early years. Experience,then, is the key to early American literature.
    The New World provided a great variety of experiences,and these experiences demanded a wide variety of expressions by an even wider variety of early American writers.These writers included John Smith,who spent only two-and-a-half year on the American continent.
    They included Jonathan Edwards and William Byrd,who thought of themselves as British subjects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.American Indians,explorers,Puritan ministers,frontier wives,plantation owners-they are all the creators of the first American literature.

    What can we learn from the literature of the tribes of the native Americans?
    A:About the everyday life of the native Americans.
    B:About the arrival of Columbus.
    C:About the experience of the first European settlers.
    D:About the experience of those who died in the New England wilderness.

    答案:A
    解析:
    由文章第一段第二句话“… a genuine hope of a new life …”可知,that hope指的是人们对在美洲新大陆开始新生活的希望。故选B。
    由文章第二段第二句可知,早在大约公元1000年北欧人发现美洲之前,美洲土著居民就居住在这里。第一句说“美国文学来源于美国人的生活经历”,由此可知,美国文学产生于公元1000年前就居住在这里的美洲土著居民的生活经历。故选D。
    由文章第二段第三句话“Each tribe ' s literature was tightly woven into the fabric of dail life and reflected the unmistakably American experience of linking with the land.”可知,美洲土部落的文学是他们日常生活的真实写照。故选A。
    文章最后一段的第一句话“Experience , then , is the key to early American literature."本段的主题句,说的是:美洲的生活经历是美国早期文学产生的关键因素。故选D。
    由文章最后一段第四句话“They included Jonathan Edwards and William Byrd , wh thought of themselves as British subjects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.”可知,这两位自认为是大英帝国臣民的英国作家对一场将会创造出一个拥有自己文学的美利坚合众国的革命从来没有任何怀疑。可见,一些英国作家对美国文学的将来充满信心。故选D。

    问答题
    A Nation of Immigrants Composed Mainly of the White People  The United States of America has long been known as a nation of immigrants and a “melting pot”, because the great majority of its people are immigrants and descendants of settlers who came from all over the world to make their homes in the new land, seeking their dream in America. The  first immigrants in American history came from England and the Netherlands. Now the descendants of European immigrants make up 80.3% of the American population of about 250 million.  English colonization in North America in the sixteenth century repeatedly failed. It was not until 1607 that the first English permanent settlement in America was establish. The first wave of colonizing activity, which began in 1606 and lasted until 1637, planted three groups of English colonies: Virginia and Maryland on the Chesapeake, the Puritan commonwealths of New England, and the British West Indies, and also the Dutch colony of New Netherlands, which became New York. Some other European countries also established their colonies along North America’s Atlantic coastline. In 1713, the population of the twelve continental colonies was nearly 360,000, a fourfold increase. Quite a lot of them were German and Scots-Irish. Discontented Germans came to English America because the German states had no overseas possessions, and no colonies except those of the English would admit foreigners. Most Germans entered America at Philadelphia, whence they spread out fanwise into the back-country and became the most prosperous farmers in North America. The English-speaking Scots-Irish came from Ulster. They were largely descendents of the Scots who had colonized Northern Ireland when the English were first setting Virginia. After 1713 the pressure of the native Catholic Irish and the restrictive legislation of the British. Parliament forced them to emigrate in drove. As land was dear in the eastern colonies, these fighting Celts drifted to the frontier. A considerable number of southern Irish, mostly Protestants but including Catholic families came at the same time. They were mostly men of property who invested in land and remained in the older-settled regions.  Britain gradually established its dominance over North America’s Atlantic coast. It successfully planted 13 colonies by edging out other colonial powers and by driving off the native Indians. Though the first English permanent settlement in America was established in Jamestown in1607, modem America was established in Jamestown in 1607, modem Americans choose to look back to the Pilgrim Father, a group of Puritans who came from England in 1620 for a symbol of the origin of their new country. They were followed by other Englishmen. They were generally known as the White Anglo-Saxon Protestants (WASP), who played the leading role in winning America’s independence. Their mother tongue, English, became the official language of the new nation. Today about 33% of Americans are of British origin. They control most of the national wealth and political power. The other white Americans, whose forefathers were from other European countries, are not so influential as the WASPs. All these white European immigrants and their descendants together constitute the majority of the American population.  After the American Civil War, a large number of the “new immigrations” came to the United States of America. Even during the Civil War some 800,000 immigrants had entered the United States, and in the ten years after the ending of the war, some 3.25 million immigrants flooded into the cities and the farms of the North and the West. In the single generation from 1880 to 1910 a tidal wave of immigration spilled almost 18 million persons on American shores. Unlike the old immigrations, who were “pushed out” of West Europe by religious persecution or impoverishment, the new immigrations were “pulled to” the United States by the prospect of good jobs and happy life. Most of them were unskilled. The large influx of the new immigrations resulted in the adoption of the Immigration Quota Law by the American government.  A lot of Chinese coolies were brought into America after the discovery of gold in California. and for the construction of the Central Pacific Railroad. The Chinese-Americans made a great contribution to the development of the American West. But, Chinese-Americans and other Asian-Americans never constitute a majority of the American population. The United States has always been a nation of immigrants composed mainly of the white people.  Immigrants from different nations all over the world joined together to make one nation, the American. They speak almost the same kind of English with far less class or regional variety than in Great Britain. They have the same way of life, similar habits and manners. They have established a new universal national culture. With only a few exceptions, the national origins have well been mixed. In this sense, the United States of America has been known as a “melting pot”.

    白人为主的移民国家 一直以来,美利坚合众国就以移民国家而著称,被称之为“民族大熔炉”。其人口组成的绝大部分是移民,那些移居者怀揣着梦想,从世界各地来到这片新大陆上,并在此生息繁衍。美国历史上的第一批移民来自英国和荷兰。现在,在美国大约2亿5,000万的总人口中,欧洲移民的后裔占到了80.3%。
    16世纪时,英国在北美洲的殖民行动屡遭挫败,直到1607年才建立起第一个永久居留地。1606年至l637年间掀起的第一次殖民活动浪潮产生了3个英国殖民地,它们分别是位于切萨皮克湾一带的弗吉尼亚和马里兰,位于新英格兰地区的英国清教徒社区还有英属西印度群岛。荷兰人在新尼德兰建立了殖民地,也就是后来的纽约市。其他欧洲国家也在北美的大西洋沿岸一带建立了自己的殖民地。1713年,22个大陆殖民地的总人口接近36万;到1760年,加上佐治亚地区,殖民地人口达到160万,增加了将近4倍。其中,德国和苏格兰—爱尔兰人占据了较大比例。因为德国没有海外殖民地,而且只有英属殖民地允许外国人进入,所以很多不满于本国现状的德国人来到了北美。他们大多从费城进入美洲,随后便伞状扩散开来,进入边远地区并成为北美最富裕的农场主。那些讲英语的苏格兰—爱尔兰人来自北爱尔兰,他们主要是苏格兰人的后裔。当英格兰在弗吉尼亚落户时,他们的祖先也移居到北爱尔兰。1713年后,由于受到当地信仰天主教的爱尔兰人的迫害和英国议会的限制性立法的影响,他们被迫移居国外。因为当时美国东部殖民地的土地价格较高,所以这些极富斗争性的凯尔特人漂泊到了边境。大批的南方爱尔兰人——其中大部分是新教徒,也有天主教家庭——同期也来到了美洲。他们大部分都是有产者,纷纷购置田地,如今仍然居住在这些早期定居地上。
    英格兰逐步确立了对北美大西洋沿岸的统治地位。它排挤掉其他殖民强国、驱赶走本地印第安居民,成功建立了13个殖民地。尽管1607年英格兰人就在詹姆士城建立了美洲的第一个永久定居地,但现今的美国人仍然以“清教徒先驱”——那些于l620年从英格兰来的清教徒——作为他们国家起源的象征。随后,其他的英格兰人接踵而至。这些被称作盎格鲁—撒克逊新教徒的人在美国赢得独立的过程中发挥了极重要的作用。他们的母语——英语也成为这个新生国家的官方语言。如今,约有33%的美国人拥有英国血统。他们掌握了这个国家大部分的财富和政治权力。来自欧洲其他国家的移民后裔远不如他们的影响力大。这些欧洲白种移民和他们的后代共同构成了美国人口的大多数。
    内战过后,大批的“新移民”来到美国。内战期间就有约80万移民进入了美国,内战后的10年中,约325万移民潮涌入美国北部和西部的城镇与农场。l880年到1910年间,移民大潮将多达1,800万的移民席卷至美国海岸。与老一代移民不同的是,这些新移民不是因为受到宗教迫害或是因为贫困而离开西欧的,他们或是被称心的工作机会吸引、或是出于对于幸福生活的期盼而来到这里。他们大多没有什么技术专长。新移民的大量涌入致使美国政府颁布了移民分配法来对他们进行调控。
    在加利福尼亚发现金矿后,为满足中央太平洋铁路建筑之需,大批的中国苦力来到了美国。华裔人士对美国西部的发展做出了巨大贡献。但是与其他亚裔美国人一样,美籍华人从来没有成为美国人口的大多数。美国一直是以白种人为主体的移民国家。
    来自世界各地不同国家的移民组合在一起形成了美国人。他们说着同样的英语,在很大程度上减少了大布列颠曾经存在的阶层和宗教差异。他们有着相同的生活方式、类似的生活习惯和行为方式。他们已经建立起一种新的全民文化。除少数例外者外,不同的民族起源已经融合在一起。这也是美国以“民族大熔炉”而著称的原因所在。

    The Beginning of American Literature America has always been a land of beginnings.After Europeans"discovered"America in the fifteenth century,the mysterious New World became for many people a genuine hope of a new life,an escape from poverty and persecution,a chance to start again.We can say that,as a nation,America begins with that hope.When,however,does American literature begin?
    American literature begins with American experiences.Long before the first colonists arrived,before Christopher Columbus,before the Northmen who"found"America about the year 1000,native Americans lived here.Each tribe's literature was tightly woven into the fabric of daily life and reflected the unmistakably American experience of linking with the land.Another kind of experience,one filled with fear and excitement,found its expression in the reports that Columbus and other explorers sent home in Spain, French and English.In addition,the journals of the people who lived and died in the New England wilder- ness tell unforgettable tales of hard and sometimes heartbreaking experiences of those early years. Experience,then, is the key to early American literature.
    The New World provided a great variety of experiences,and these experiences demanded a wide variety of expressions by an even wider variety of early American writers.These writers included John Smith,who spent only two-and-a-half year on the American continent.
    They included Jonathan Edwards and William Byrd,who thought of themselves as British subjects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.American Indians,explorers,Puritan ministers,frontier wives,plantation owners-they are all the creators of the first American literature.

    What does"that hope"in the first paragraph refer to?
    A:The hope that America would be discovered.
    B:The hope to start a new life.
    C:The hope to see the mysteries of the New Worid.
    D:The hope to find poverty here.

    答案:B
    解析:
    由文章第一段第二句话“… a genuine hope of a new life …”可知,that hope指的是人们对在美洲新大陆开始新生活的希望。故选B。
    由文章第二段第二句可知,早在大约公元1000年北欧人发现美洲之前,美洲土著居民就居住在这里。第一句说“美国文学来源于美国人的生活经历”,由此可知,美国文学产生于公元1000年前就居住在这里的美洲土著居民的生活经历。故选D。
    由文章第二段第三句话“Each tribe ' s literature was tightly woven into the fabric of dail life and reflected the unmistakably American experience of linking with the land.”可知,美洲土部落的文学是他们日常生活的真实写照。故选A。
    文章最后一段的第一句话“Experience , then , is the key to early American literature."本段的主题句,说的是:美洲的生活经历是美国早期文学产生的关键因素。故选D。
    由文章最后一段第四句话“They included Jonathan Edwards and William Byrd , wh thought of themselves as British subjects,never suspecting a revolution that would create a United States of America with a literature of its own.”可知,这两位自认为是大英帝国臣民的英国作家对一场将会创造出一个拥有自己文学的美利坚合众国的革命从来没有任何怀疑。可见,一些英国作家对美国文学的将来充满信心。故选D。

    The First Settlement in North America
    It is very difficult to saythat when colonization began.The first hundred years after Christo-pher Columbus’s journey of discovery in 1492 did not produce any settlement on the North Ameri-can continent but rather some Spanish trading posts further south,a great interest in gold and ad-venture,and some colorful crimes in which the English had their part.John Cabot,originally from Genoa but a citizen of Venice, was estahlished as a trader in Bristol,England,when he made a journey in 1497 .But his ship,the Matthew,with its crew of eighteen,did no more than see an island(probably off the New England coast)and return home.He and his son made fur-ther voyages across the north Atlantic,which enahled the English Crown to claima“legal”title to North America.But for a long time afterwards the Europeans,interest in America was mainly con-fined to the Spanish activities further south.
    Th e fi rst heginning of permanent settlement in North America was nearly a hundred yearsa仁 ter Columbus'5 first voyage.The Englishman Sir Walter Raleigh claimed the whole of North Amer-ica for England,calling it Virginia.In 1585 he sent a small group ofpeople who landed in Roano-ke Island,but they stayed only for a year and then went back to England with another expedition, led hy Drake,in 1 5 87 .A second group who landed in 1 587 had all disappeared when a further expedition arrived in 1590.
    The first permanent settlement in North America was in 1 607 .English capitalists founded two Virginia companies,a southern one hased in London and a northern one based in Bristol.It was decided to give the name New England to the northernarea.The first settlers in Virginia were lit-tle more than wage slaves to the company.All were men and the experiment was not very success-ful .Many died.Those who survived lived in miserable conditions.By 1619 the colony had onlya thousand people.

    We know for sure that colonization began at the end of the 15th century.
    A: Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Notmentioned

    答案:B
    解析:
    文章的第一句话指出“很难说殖民地的开拓是从何时开始的”。


    第一段说在1492年哥伦布发现新大陆之后的100年中,北美大陆上没有出现过一块殖民者的定居地,但是在更往南的地方即南美出现了一些西班牙人的贸易站。


    第一段说John Cabot 1497年航行到了北美,之后他和他儿子又多次穿越北大西洋航行到北美,才使英国王室能够宣布对北美大陆的“合法”拥有权。


    1497年John Cabot首次乘坐“马修号”到达北美时船上有18位水手,再加上他本人船上应该至少有19人。


    第二段第一句话说北美大陆开始出现永久定居地是在哥伦布首航近一百年之后的事情,第三句话说Walter Raleigh爵士在1585年派了一小组人登上了Roanoke岛。


    第二段第二句话说英国人Walter Raleigh宣称整个北美都属于英国,并称之为弗吉尼亚。


    文章的最后一段说英国资本家成立了两家弗吉尼亚公司,后来决定用“新英格兰” 这个名字来称呼北美北部地区,但并没有说是由谁来命名的。
