Passage Four

John Paul Jones was one of the founders of the United States Navy. During the Revolution, the colonies were desperate. They needed men to lead their small ships against the British fleet. Jones was more than willing to fight.

John Paul Jones had once been a captain of a British merchant ship. In 1773, his crew mutinied. One member of the crew tried to gain control of the ship. Jones shot the man to death. The mutiny took place near the port of Tobago, an island in the Caribbean. Authorities there decided to have a trial. This meant certain death for John Paul Jones, since the whole crew would testify against him. One night during a thunderstorm, he escaped from the jail.

He fled to the United States and lived with a family named Jones. His real name was John Paul. He added the name of Jones to his, in honor of the family. He outwitted the British ships that were sent to hunt him down.

When the American Revolution ended he went to serve in the Russian navy. There, he fought the Turks and achieved one of the few major naval victories in the history of Russia. He died in Paris at the age of forty-five.

John Paul Jones is considered both an American and Russian hero, but the English considered him a fugitive.

48. John Paul Jones won a major victory for the Russian navy against the ______.

A. French

B. British

  • 第2题:

    下列程序的运行结果是( )。 SET EXACT ON s="ni"+SPACE(2) IF S=”ni” IF S=”ni” ?"one" ELSE ?"two" END IF ELSE IF S="ni" ?"three" ELSE ?"four" END IF END IF RETURN

    A.one

    B.two

    C.three

    D.four


    正确答案:C
    C。【解析】用==比较两个字符串时,当两个字符串完圣相同时,运算结果是逻辑真.T.。用=比较两个字符串时,运算结果与SETEXACTONIOFF的设置有关:0N先在较短的字符串的尾部加上若干个空格,使两个字符串的长度相等,然后进行精确比较;当处于0FF状态时,只要右边字符串与左边字符串的前面部分内容相匹配,即可得到逻辑真.T.。所以本题运行结果为three。

  • 第3题:

    How many morphemes does the word "impossible" consist of?

    A.One.
    B.Two.
    C.Three.

  • 第4题:

    下列语句能给数组赋值,而不使用for循环的是

    A.myArray{[1]="One";[2]="Two";[3]="Three";}

    B.String s[5]=new String[] {"Zero","One","Two","Three","Four"};

    C.String s[]=new String[] {"Zero","One","Two","Three","Four"};

    D.String s[]=new String[]= {"Zero","One","Two","Three","Four"};


    正确答案:C
    解析:字符串数组赋初值的方法有两种,一种是如选项C一样初始化。另外一种是先为每个数组元素分配引用空间,再为每个数组元素分配空间并赋初值。例如还可做如下赋值:
      string s[]=new String[5];
      s[0]="Zero";
      s[1]="One";
      s[2]="Two";
      s[3]="Three";
      s[4]="Four";

    15.B【解析】句意:——你是什么时候出生的?——我出生于1995年5月7号的早晨.具体指某一天的早晨要用介词on.不具体指某一天的早晨用in。下午和晚上的用法也相同。如;in the morning,in the afternoon。
