题目
根据下列文章，回答36～40题。
The most thoroughly studied intellectuals in the history of the New World are the ministers and political leaders of seventeenthcentury New England. According to the standard history of American philosophy, nowhere else in colonial America was “so much important attached to intellectual pursuits.” According to many books and articles, New England’s leaders established the basic themes and preoccupations of an unfolding, dominant Puritan tradition in American intellectual life.
To take this approach to the New Englanders normally mean to start with the Puritans’ theological innovations and their distinctive ideas about the church—important subjects that we may not neglect. But in keeping with our examination of southern intellectual life, we may consider the original Puritans as carriers of European culture adjusting to New World circumstances. The New England colonies were the scenes of important episodes in the pursuit of widely understood ideals of civility and virtuosity.
The early settlers of Massachusetts Bay included men of impressive education and influence in England. Besides the ninety or so learned ministers who came to Massachusetts church in the decade after 1629, there were political leaders like John Winthrop, an educated gentleman, lawyer, and official of the Crown before he journeyed to Boston. There men wrote and published extensively, reaching both New World and Old World audiences, and giving New England an atmosphere of intellectual earnestness.
We should not forget, however, that most New Englanders were less well educated. While few craftsmen or farmers, let alone dependents and servants, left literary compositions to be analyzed, it is obvious that their views were less fully intellectualized. Their thinking often had a traditional superstitions quality. A tailor named John Dane, who emigrated in the late 1630s, left an account of his reasons for leaving England that is filled with signs. Sexual confusion, economic frustrations , and religious hope—all name together in a decisive moment when he opened the Bible, told his father the first line he saw would settle his fate, and read the magical words: “come out from among them, touch no unclean thing , and I will be your God and you shall be my people.” One wonders what Dane thought of the careful sermons explaining the Bible that he heard in puritan churches.
Meanwhile , many settlers had slighter religious commitments than Dane’s, as one clergyman learned in confronting folk along the coast who mocked that they had not come to the New world for religion . “Our main end was to catch fish. ”

第9题：
资料：Some companies are more creative in their use of history than others. HSBC’s History Wall, a striking art installation at the bank’s London headquarters, is made up of 3,743 images drawn from the bank’s archives and arranged in chronological order.
Even this is dwarfed by Coca Cola, the American classics. In May, Coca Cola opened a new corporate museum in Atlanta, which is expected to pull in more than 1 million visitors annually, Attractions include the first Coke cans to go into space, a functioning botting line and a tasting lounge.
The benefits of knowing your corporate history can be very practical. Companies often use their history as inspiration for new products. Disney constantly mines its archives of old films. Carmakers have overhauled old designs for the modern era: Volkswagen’s New Beetle is an obvious example.
But the bigger payoff tends to be less tangible — that of forging stronger bonds with customers and employees. Age can by itself confer a sense of trustworthiness, brewers and banks are fond of flaunting（炫耀） their deep roots. Jim Gilmore, co-author of “Authenticity”, argues that history is also vital in giving companies a genuine sense of personality. Ritz-Carlton’s use of cobalt-blue glasses in its hotel dining rooms can be traced back to Boston in the 1920s, for example, where window glass that had been imported from Europe and turned blue in the New England air was a symbol of wealth. Rather than commissioning dusty biographies to mark anniversaries, Mr. Gilmore believes that firms should search the archives for inspiring stories of this kind.
Younger companies can use history, too. Before giving up their old jobs, the founders of Innocent, a British drinks firm formed in 1998,sold an initial batch of smoothies from a market stall in London. They asked customers to put their empty bottles into one of two labeled bins to indicate whether they should focus on their new venture or stick to their day jobs. The rest, as they say, is history. The firm now uses the story to illustrate its folksy image.
Which of the following is NOT the benefit of using history creatively?A.It strengthens the company’s relations with customers and employees.
B.For carmakers, they can overhaul old designs for the modern era.
C.It can help companies to become the most profitable in the market.
D.It can give companies ideas for new products答案：C解析：本题考查的是细节理解和同义转换。
【关键词】not;benefit
【主题句】第3自然段 Companies often use their history as inspiration for new products.Carmakers have overhauled old designs for the modern era.公司经常把自己的历史作为新产品的灵感来源。汽车制造商对旧设计进行了翻修用于现代汽车。
第4自然段 But the bigger payoff tends to be less tangible— that of forging stronger bonds with customers and employees.但更大的回报往往是无形的——即与客户和雇员建立更牢固的纽带。
【解析】本题的问题是“以下哪一项不是积极利用历史的好处？”。根据主题句可知，A、B、D均是积极使用历史的好处，而C不是。

The best title for this passage is( )A.The History of Europe in 16th Century
B.The Religious History of Europe in 16th Century
C.The Causes of European Separation in 16th Century
D.The History of Europe after Separation答案：C解析：主旨题。在文章中，作者从三方面论及欧洲的分裂。从第三段第一句“这些情感，本身就危险，再加上地理和金钱两个问题，情况就更加不妙了”可知，A项“欧洲史”和B项“欧洲宗教史”这两项涉及范围更广。本文主要是从分裂原因来进行论述的，并不是完全关于分裂后的历史，因此D项“欧洲分裂后的历史”不符合。 -

Changes in Museums
Museums have changed.They are no longer places that one"should"visit;they are places to enjoy and learn.
At a science museum in Ontario,Canada,you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body.At the Metropolitan（大城市的）Museum of Art in New York City , you can look at the seventeenth century instruments while listening to their music.At New York's American Museum of Natural History recently,you can help make a bone-by- bone reproduction of the museum's dinosaur（恐 龙）,a beast that lived 200 million years ago.
More and more museum directors are realizing that people learn best when they can somehow become part of what they are seeing.In many science museums,for example,there are no guided tours.The visitor is encouraged to touch,listen,operate,and experiment so as to discover scientific principles for himself. The purpose is not only to provide fun but also to help people feel at home in the world of science.The theory is that people who do not understand science will probably fear it,and those who fear science will not use it to best advantage.
One cause of all these changes is the increase in wealth and leisure time.Another cause is the rising percentage of young people in the population.Many of these young people are college students or college graduates.Leon F.Twiggs,a young black professor of art once said,"They see things in a new and different way.They are not satisfied to stand and look at works of art;they want art they can participate（参加）in."The same is true of science and history.New York's American Museum of Natural History is opened recently.
A:Right
B:Wrong
C:Not mentioned答案：B解析：第二段中提到，人们在博物馆中可以感受头发直立、聆听古老乐器的演奏，以及帮忙制作恐龙模型等。第三段第三句又提到，参观者被鼓励去触摸、聆听、操作和做实验等。由此可知，人们在博物馆中，可以参与很多活动。
第二段最后一句提到，最近在美国的自然历史博物馆，你可以帮忙制作恐龙模型，这只是表明美国自然历史博物馆最近开办了这项活动，并不是说美国自然历史博物馆最近才开放。
根据第三段的第二句和第三句可知，博物馆鼓励参观者去触摸，去聆听，去操控，去做实验等。
根据第三段第三、四句可知，博物馆所做的这些努力，就是想让参观者从自身体验中获得科学知识，对科学的世界不再感到陌生。
全篇文章并未提到所有的科学博物馆是否是免费开放的。
根据第四段第一句可知，导致这些变化（包括更多人去博物馆）的原因之一就是人们有了更多的财富和业余时间。
根据第四段倒数第二句可知，大多数年轻人喜欢他们可以参与其中的艺术。 -
