Her mother studied to become a nurse and quickly increased the family’s income. She later attended UC Berkeley. Komal was interested in becoming a naval doctor and was part of ROTC in college. She always wanted to serve her country. She didn’t realize then that "serving" her country would later become food-related.It was 2011, when Komal Ahmad, a senior in college at the time, walked past a young man on the street who was begging for food. She invited him to sit down for a meal. At the same time, a few feet away, the dining hall was throwing away pounds of delicious food. Witnessing this, Komal knew she was meant to do something about the situation. Komal started a student group that recovered food from campus and distributed it to local non-profit organizations.As rewarding as this was, something bothered her. One day, she got a call from the dining hall manager, who had 500 sandwiches left over from an event. Komal needed to pick them up before they spoiled(变质). She rented a car, loaded it with the food, and called non-profit organizations. She found takers for only 25 sandwiches. Knowingit shouldn’t be that hard to help people, she extended he r rental reservations in order to push the sandwiches. Then the light bulb moment she was waiting for: what if there was an app that could pair people who had food with people who needed it? And thus, Copia was born.Companies use the app to report when they have leftover food. When charity agencies first register with Copia, they indicate how many people they need to feed, and on what days. The app distributes the leftover food, delivered by trained food handlers.4.How had Komal planned to serve her country?A. By being a naval nurse.B. By helping the navy medically.C.

People’s unwillingness to take leftover food.D. The difficulty of finding food sources.7.What is stressed in the last paragraph?A. The creation of Copia.B. The influence of Copia.C. The way Copia functions.D. The development of Copia.CAverage humans can consume 15 or more drinks in plastic bottles a month. If you were born after 1978, and live until 80 years old, you will leave behind a minimum of 14,400 plastic bottles on this planet. These bottles take hundreds of years to break down into tiny pieces of plastic, never to completely disappear. Most of thewaste is consumed by fish and birds, which has shortened their lifespans(寿命) greatly.The Plastic Bottle Village is just a great idea that might finally save us from being buried in plastic. It’s a community in Panama that is going to be made of used bottles. The design process begins with building steel frames, which are then filled with these bottles. Once this step is complete, and electrical and plumbing lines are put inside, the plastic walls are covered by concrete —both inside and outside. So no one will actually be able to tell that the walls are made of plastic. Besides, the material will keep the house 17℃ cooler than the outside, which is the biggest benefit to people living inside.The village is the brainchild(主意) of Robert Bezeau with the intention of setting up several environmental projects. Having started a recycling program four years ago, during which a number of plastic bottles were collected, he started to think of how they could be put to use. Soon enough, he decided to use them to build houses, and came up with a basic idea for the construction process.The project hopes to make people conscious of the waste that these bottles create so that they can do more to protect the environment. The village will also create an education center that will teach individuals from the world how to reuse plastic bottles as construction materials for shelter. Recycled bottles could neutralize the negative effect of your passage on this planet, and move closer to leaving only your "footprints".8.What do the figures in the first paragraph show?A. The reason for buying fewer drinks.B. The seriousness of plastic pollution.C. The amount of plastic waste.D. The difficult situation of wildlife.9.Why are the homes in the village special?A. They’re green buildings.B. They’re 17℃ warmer ins ide.C. They stop plastic pollution.D. They’re entirely made of plastic bottles.10.Which word can best describe Robert?A. Responsible.B. Considerate.C. Creative.D. Sensitive.11.What does the project want to do through these homes?A. Provide shelter for locals.B. Reuse all deserted plastic bottles.C. Popularize the use of plastic bottles.D. Raise people’s environmental awareness.DIt’s difficult to think of a better-known work of art than Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel comes close, but that’s a detail of a huge work, not a work of art on its own. Images by many 20th-century artists like Spain’s Pablo Picasso and the US’ Andy Warhol are also instantly recognizable. However, no other painting is nearly as famous as the portrait in oils of a fashionable young lady of Florence, Italy.This painting isn’t just famous because the image is now able to be reproduced over and over again. Its fame has at least something to do with the fact that it’s a fine piece of work. Da Vinci was a leader in the revolution in painting in the Renaissance period. The Renaissance was more centered around humans than previous European culture was, and the Mona Lisa is a fine example of Renaissance humanism. The work is about a person. The woman da Vinci painted does not represent a religious idea, but is an individual whom one feels that one could talk to and know.And the question of who the woman is has always interested the public. The earliest answer, from 1517, is that she was just a "certain Florentine lady", but in 1550, famous historian and painter Giorgio Vasari said she was Mona Lisa, the wife of silk merchant Francesco del Giocondo. Over the centuries, a number of other women have been put forth as the model, including a suggestion that da Vinci used himself, looking in a mirror, as well as the idea that she was painted from da Vinci’s imagination. The work invites the viewer/reader to discover for himself or herself, perhaps invent,what it means.Leonardo kept it himself, and took it with him to Milan, Rome, and France, and used it as a "calling card", said Larry Feinberg from the Art Institute of Chicago — sort of an advertisement: "Hey, look what I painted! I can paint for you, too!"12.Why does the author refer to three other artists?A. To show the Mona Lisa is very famous.B. To compare da Vinci with other painters.C. To introduce different great painters.D. To prove no other painter is equal to da Vinci.13.What is stressed by mentioning the Renaissance?A. Painting skills of the Mona Lisa.B. Different attitudes to the Mona Lisa.C. The economic value of the Mona Lisa.D. The tradition-breaking idea of the Mona Lisa.14.What helped the Mona Lisa’s popularity according to Para graph 3?A. Its being painted from imagination.B. Its being open to interpretation.C. Da Vinci’s using himself as the model.D. Many women’s claiming to be the model.15.What does Feinberg say about da Vinci?A. He was eager to paint for people.B. He fell in love with the Mona Lisa.C. He used the Mona Lisa to earn a reputation.D. He made a fortune through the Mona Lisa.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Britain, or Great Britain, is the larger of these two islands, and it is 2 into three parts: Scotland , Wales and England.The United Kingdom is that 3 of the British isles ruled over by the Queen. It is made up of Scotland, Wales and England, that is, the 4 of Britain, and also aboutone sixth of Ireland, the Northern part. The 5 of Ireland is self governing. The 6 name of the United Kingdom is 7 “The United Kingdom of Gre at Britain and Northern Ireland〞.8 is larger and richer than Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, and has the most 9 of the United Kingdom, so people often use the 10 “England〞and “English〞when they 11 “Britain〞and “British〞. This sometimes makes the Scots and the Welsh a little 12 . The Scots in particular are very 13 of their separate nationality. The Welsh too do not regard 14 as English, and have a culture and even a 15 of their own.Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801, but for forty years the “Irish 16 ” was the greatest headache of the United Kingdom. 17 , Ireland is divided into two:Northern Ireland still 18 to the United Kingdom, and in 1922 the rest of Ireland 19 to found an Irish Free State, later called Eire and now the Republic of Ireland.The Republic of Ireland does not regard itself as part of Britain②, and is not now even a supporter of the Commonwealth of Nations (英联邦). Unlike the major Commonwealth countries it did not lift a finger to 20 British in the Second World War and now wants the whole of Ireland to be a republic.1. A. Wales B. Britain C. England D.

Strictly speaking, these names all refer to something different①. None of them are exactly the same as any of the others.The British isles refer to the main islands and several thousand small ones as well, which you can see on the map②. Great Britain, or Britain, refers to the larger of the two main islands. But the word “Britain〞 is often used as a short form for the United Kingdom or you call it the UK .Now as for England, it refers simply to the largest of the three countries on the island of Great Britain. The United Kingdom is the name of the state and the official name of the country, which many people popularly refer to England.Finally, the Britain commonwealth is the usual name for what is left of the British Empire (帝国). This change shows the weakening of British Empire and the rising of the national liberation movements throughout the world today.1. According to the passage, we know that ____ .A. Great Britain has the same meaning as BritainB. the United Kingdom has the same meaning as Britain or EnglandC. all the names in the first paragraph have the same meaningD. all the names refer to England2.

BI>B>E4. If you want to write to someone in Edinburgh that lies in Scotland, you should write the address as ____ .A. Edinburgh, EnglandB. Edinburgh, Great BritainC. Scotland, Edinburgh, EnglandD. Great Britain, Scotland, EdinburghPassage BHundreds of years ago, a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots, a brave people, love their country. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland. But there were too many of the Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night, the leader of the Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight, my men,〞he said, “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle①. We must win, or we will die.〞They were all very tired. So they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty, but they were very tired, too, and one by one, they fell asleep.The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they went up the hill. Closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more the war would be over. Suddenly, one of them put his foot on a thistle (蓟). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a minute they were on their feet and ready for a battle. The fighting was hard, but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved Scotland②.The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people liked it. But the people of Scotland liked it so much that they made it their national flower.1. Hundreds of years ago, the Romans ____ .A. came from the north through England to make war on ScotlandB. came to the north Scotland from England to make war on ScotlandC. came from the north of England to fight the ScotsD. came to the north from the south of Britain to fight the Scots2.

The result of the war is that ____ .A. the Romans killed all the ScotsB. the Scots were defeatedC. the Scots were driven out of ScotlandD. the Scots defeated the Romans4. The Scots made thistle their national flower because thistle ____ .A. is lovely, though not beautifulB. gave them happinessC. is a kind of useful plantD. helped the Scots in wiping out the RomansPassage CIn today's Ireland, it seems hard to imagine the grim days of the 19th century when so many of the population starved, or that, in those days, many poor people had no clue how to prepare any food other than boil a potato. Nowadays, it is quite possible to eat both well and heartily all over the island.Tourism has made a vast difference to the standards of cooking in Ireland. Until recently there was hardly any tradition of eating out in many districts, except perhaps on very few occasions at a local hotel. Patterns of diet were old-styled, based firmly on 'meat and two vegetables' (somewhat overcooked), potatoes (of course) and large quantities of dairy produce. Now things are very different. Tourist demands forpredictable, inexpensive fast-food are met, as everywhere, with hamburgers and pizzas - a better bet being fish and chips. But more sophisticated tastes have introduced wholefoods and vegetarian restaurants (almost unheard of before), and a vast number of new restaurants, often French in style, have opened in the main tourist centres. Food'events' such as Kinsale's Gourmet festival or Galway's Oyster Festival attract large numbers of visitors and reflect the new interest in food.Whatever Irish cooking lacks in finesse〔精细(jīngxì)〕, it nearly always makes up for in plenty, and ingredients(成分) are of a high quality. Home-grown produce includes rich dairy foods, beef, lamb and pork, and a great variety of seafood. One of its great specialities is soda bread. It is made with buttermilk and is served fresh and warm with every meal. Recently there has been a return to simple Irish foods such as stews 〔炖菜〕and potato dishes.One of the best-value meals in Ireland is breakfast. A 'traditional Irish breakfast' is a plateful of bacon and eggs with soda and potato breads. Accommodation rates are nearly always quoted with a full breakfast included, so you might as well eat enough to keep you going all day and get your money's worth!11．What was Irish food like until quite recently?A. It was very conservative and uninteresting.B. It was influenced by French cooking.C. It was very unhealthy.D. It was plentiful12．How has Irish food improved in recent years?A. There are more French restaurants.B. Food produce is fresher.C. There is more kinds.D. Food is more expensive13．What is the main reason for this improvement?A. People have more money to spend.B. The development of tourism.C. People have more tastes today.D. Young people dislike traditional food14．How does the passage describe Irish cooking today?A. It is exciting and interesting.B. It is boring and overcooked.C. It is plentiful and simple.D. It is good-looking and tastes bad15. Which of the following statements is true according to the text?A. Eating out at weekends is traditional in most parts of Ireland.B. Today most Irish people prefer fast-foods to the traditional Irish cooking.C. Nowadays French-style restaurants are quite common in tourist centres.D. Many Irish people are vegetarians and grow their own vegetables.Passage DA Tour City ------- PompeiiEvery year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii (庞贝，意大利那不勒斯(nà bù lèsī)附近一座古城) , Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for ------ its stadium (运动场) and theatre, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii’s people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2000 years.Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius (维苏威火山(huǒshān)) , a grass-covered volcano (火山). Mount Vesuvius had not erupted (爆发) for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried (埋藏) under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all ot its people were dead.For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Ginseppe began to uncover (发现) Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. There were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20, 000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread, too; metal bread pans were in even bakery (面包房). In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread ------- a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup (眼部化装品) .Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet. Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii. 16．Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?A.To visit the volcano.B. To shop and eat there.C.To watch sports and plays.D. To see how Pompeiians lived17.Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?A.The city nearby offered all kinds of fun.B The area produced the finest wine in Italy.C Few people expected the volcano erupt again.D The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass18.Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?A.Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.B Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.C Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.D Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.19.What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ exploded〞 in the third paragraph?20.What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2000 years ago?A They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.B They liked women wearing all kings of makeup.C They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.D They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.二卷单词(dāncí)拼写：1)Don’t let me i__________ your decision.

Unit 2 The United Kingdom单元测试Ⅰ.阅读理解AIs pricing a plane ticket based on the passenger's weight fair? If you're taking an international flight on Samoa Air today, your fare will be based on your weight, along with that of your luggage. The cost is 93 cents to $1．06 for each kilogram.The average American woman weighs 75.5 kilograms, far from the ideal weight for her average height. Her ticket on Samoa Air, at the $1 a kilogram rate, would cost $75.50. But let's be honest here. Since the average American woman is overweight, the ticket will cost her more.Samoa Air Chief Executive Chris Langton said, “Planes are run by weight and not by seat. The plane can only carry a certain amount of weig ht and that weight needs to be paid.”He believes other airlines should adopt the policy.It's not a new idea. I remember a newspaper columnist years ago who put forth the idea that the heavier among us should pay more for their seats on planes, trains and buses. Who hasn't been squeezed into a middle seat between two plus-sized folks on a flight? It's happened to me; one time my married seatmates had purposefully chosen their seats to have more space until a sold-out flight put me between them. Not one of my better flying experiences.What if such a policy is adopted by some airlines in the United States? Could such pricing provide a much-needed motivation for Americans to reduce body weight? I hope so. But, as we know, more than one-third of us are obese and another third are overweight. The high probability is that the heavy customers will not suddenly lose weight or stop flying, but will instead choose a different airline, simply moving the supposed problem elsewhere.There's no doubt that the heavier will suffer more discrimination(歧视). Discrimination against the overweight in the United States has increased by 66 percent over the last decade—“and is comparable to rates of racial discrimination, especially among women，”wrote Yale University researcher Rebecca M Puhl. Your weight can affect your salary, your chances for employment, how others view you and even, now, your air fares.“If the policy succeeds, it may encourage the spread of body discrimination across different industries and the wider culture，” said one British editorial writer. He holds that it is companies' duty to provide equipment that meet the needs of their customers.And we'll see how effective it is as a business model.语篇导读本文为议论文，就航空公司根据乘客体重来决定机票价格的规定而展开讨论。

Unit 2 The United Kingdom单元测试Ⅰ.阅读理解AWhy do some people live to be older than others? You know the standard explanations: keeping a moderate diet, engaging in regular exercise, etc. But what effect does your personality have on your longevity? Do some kinds of personalities lead to longer lives? A new study in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society looked at this question by examining the personality characteristics of 246 children of people who had lived to be at least 100.The study shows that those living the longest are more outgoing, more active and less neurotic(神经质的) than other people. Longer-living women are also more likely to be sympathetic and cooperative than women with a normal life span. These findings are in agreement with what you would expect from the evolutionary theory: those who like to make friends and help others can gather enough resources to make it through tough times.Interestingly, however, other characteristics that you might consider advantageous had no impact on whether study participants were likely to live longer. Those who were more self-disciplined, for instance, were no more likely to live to be very old. Also, being open to new ideas had no relationship to long life, which might explain all those bad-tempered old people who are fixed in their ways.Whether you can successfully change your personality as an adult is the subject of a longstanding psychological debate. But the new paper suggests that if you want long life, you should strive to be as outgoing as possible.Unfortunately, another recent study shows that your mother's personality may also help determine your longevity. That study looked at nearly 28,000 Norwegian mothers and found that those moms who were more anxious, depressed and angry were more likely to feed their kids unhealthy diets. Patterns of childhood eating can be hard to break when we're adults, which may mean that kids of depressed moms end up dying younger.Personality isn't destiny, and everyone knows that individuals can learn to change. But both studies show that long life isn't just a matter of your physical health but of your mental health.语篇导读本文为说明文，阐述了影响长寿的因素。

I，watching him，saw someone else.That was my elder brother，Bob，who is athletic and energetic.He could never sit still when he was in second grade；he had to get up every now and then and run around the room.And sure enough，he grew up to be a starting player for an NCAA championship lacrosse (长曲棍球) team.He was a Nikeendorsed marathoner，too，and reached the top of Mt.Everest，unguided，in his 50s.And yet my family never watched his lacrosse games.We did watch some of his marathons，but that wasn’t until he was in his 20s.When Bob was in his glory days，our Shanghaineseborn parents were ben t on getting him into medical school.There was a loving aspect to it：I can remember my father working through math books with him，lesson by lesson，at the big blackboard in the attic.Bob never did become a doctor，though；and neither did I．It wasn’t until my younger sister came along that someone in the family finally wore a white coat.Bob today could be the fittest 58yearold on the planet.His doctor estimates his biological age at 35；he’s still big mountains in the Himalayas.And，like Jeremy Lin，he’s charmi ng.No one sees Bob without leaving with a laugh.He sometimes jokes he could be mayor of his building，and it’s true.To know him is to cheer for him.And yet my parents did not cheer for him.What if my mother had sat on the sidelines with her statistics，like Jeremy Lin’s mother？What if my father had played videos of athletes for my brother to watch and imitate？It’s hard not to wonder.And how did Jeremy Lin’s parents manage to do these remarkable things？Amy Chua，the tiger mother，recalls her immigrant father beating the kids whenever they mispronounced a Chinese word.How is it that Jeremy Lin’s immigrant father in particular，GieMing Lin，encouraged his son to follow such an untraditional path?1.Bob’s glory days were those________.A．when he was doing well in mathB．when he was in second gradeC．when he was made mayor of his buildingD．when he showed his talents in sports2．From the passage we can tell that Bob is________.A．active and optimisticB．clever and determinedC．brave and helpfulD．considerate and independent3．Which of the following statements is probably TRUE?A．Bob was always ignored by his parents.B．Bob could also have been a sport star.C．Bob’s parents often watched his games.D．Nobody in the author’s family was a doctor.4．From the last two paragraphs we can infer that________.A．parents should always study together with their childrenB．parents should know how to educate their children properlyC．children should be punished when they do anything wrongD．children should try to live up to the hopes of their parentsB(2013·南京第一次模拟) It is a plain fact that we are in a world where competition is going on in all areas and at all levels.This is exciting.Yet，on the other hand，competition breezes a pragmatic (讲究实际的) attitude.People choose to learn things that are useful，and do things that are profitable.Today’s college education is also affected by this general sense of utilitarianism (功利主义)．Many college students choose Business，Law not Computer Programming as their majors convinced that these professions are where the big money is.It is not unusual to see the college students taking a parttime job as a warmup for the real battle.I often see my friends taking GRE tests，working on English or computer certificates and taking the driving tests to get a license.Well，I have nothing against being practical.As the competition in the job market gets more and more severe，students do have reasons to be practical.However，we should never forget that college education is much more than skill training.Just imagine，if your utilitarianism becomes the main trend on campus，leaving no space for the cultivation (培养) of students’ minds，or development of their soul.We will see university is training out welltrained spiritless working machines.If utilitarianism controls society，we will see people lost in the moneymaking adventures；we will see humanity losing their grace and dignity，and that would be disastrous.I’d like to think society as encouraging and people regard profit or fame only as a horse that pulls the courage.Yet without the driver picking direction，the courage would go straight and may even end out in a dangerous situation.A certificate may give you some advantages，but not broad horizons，positiveattitudes and personal integrity (诚实正直)，which are the wealth you cannot acquire through any quick fixed way.Although in today’s world，the highest level of competition may not be that of skills or expertise (专门技能)，but vision and strategy，your intellectual quality largely determines how far you can go in your career.5．The author’s attitude toward today’s college education is________.A．positive B．cautiousC．critical D．doubtful6．Many college students choose to major in Business because________.A．a businessman is very likely to make big moneyB．studying business is less competitiveC．too many students have chosen Computer ProgrammingD．Computer Programming is not a must for them7．The author does strongly suggest that________.A．more competition be encouraged on college campusB．people not ignore the value of broad horizons，positive attitudes and personal integrityC．intellectual quality determine how far one can go in his careerD．college students get as many parttime jobs as possible8．In the author’s opinion，________.A．college students are not pragmatic enoughB．college students should have drivers pick direction for themC．college education should provide students with more business coursesD．college education should value the cultivation of students’minds答案：课时作业(二十二)Ⅰ.单项填空1．解析：考查交际用语。

She was carrying her handbag in one hand and a plastic carrier bag in the other. There was nobody else in the street except two young men. They were standing in a dark shop doorway. One of them was very tall with fair hair, the other was short and fat with a beard.The two young men waited for a few moments, and then ran quickly and quietly towards Mrs. Riley. The tall one held her from behind while the other one tried to seize her handbag.Suddenly Mrs. Riley threw the tall one over her shoulder. He crashed into the other one and they both landed on the ground. Without speaking, Mrs. Riley struck both of them on the head with her handbag and walked calmly away.The two surprised young men were still sitting on the ground when Mrs. Riley crossed the street towards a door with a lighted sign above it.

A mistake on a two-penny stamp has made it worth a million and a half times its face value.Do you think it possible? However, it is true.The mistake was made more than 100 years ago in Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean, which was a British colony（殖民地）at that time. In 1847, an order (单)for stamps was sent to London. Thus Mauritius became the fourth country in the world which had the stamps made in other countries.Before the order was filled ,that is, the stamps arrived from England, a big dance party was planned by the commander-in-chief (总司令) of all the armed forces on the island. The party would be held in his house and letters of invitation would be sent to all the important people in Mauritius. So stamps were badly needed to post the letters. Therefore, an islander, who was a good printer, was told to copy the pattern of the stamps. He carelessly put the words “Post Office” instead of “Post Paid”, two words seen on the stamps at that time, on several hundred that he printed.Today, there are only 26 of these misprinted stamps left: fourteen One-penny Reds and twelve Two-penny Blues. Because of so few Two-penny Blues and because of their age, collectors have paid as much as $16,800 for each of them.49. Which of the following can be a title for the passage?A.

Unit 2 The Unit ed Kingdom(P283)Ⅰ. .阅读理解A very rapid increase in the number of ships sailing between American and European ports began almost immediately after the end of the War of 1812 in order to meet the new need for the regular rapid transportation of mail, light cargoes(货物), and passengers. It was the increase in emigration(移民) to America that for the first time made the carrying of passengers across the Atlantic more profitable than the transportation of heavy cargoes. A new type of sailing ship, the pack et(邮船), appeared to meet this new demand, and the demand very soon resulted in strong competition among s everal packet lines.The earliest of these was the Black Ball Line set up in New York in 1816, only a year after the end of the war. The service of this famous line started with four of the new fast packets, each of 400 to 500 tons: the Pacific, the Amity, the James Cooper, and the William Thompson. During the first twenty years of service, the average time from New York to Liverpool was 23 days and the average trip back to New York took 40 days.By the middle of the century packets had increased in size to between 900 and 1, 000 tons and their speed had increased. The Red Jackel once sailed from New York to Liverpool in 13 days, 11.5 hours. The Mary Whiteridge took 4.5 hours off this record on a run from Baltimore to Liverpool. Such speeds were far greater than the average of from 19 to 21 days to Liverpool and from 30 to 35 homeward to New York, but the packets had still set a new standard for transoceanic travel. No wonder that steamships, the first of which tried to compete with the packets in 1838, only began to replace them in the 1850s.1.The fastest transatlantic voyage by a packet mentioned by the author was from______.A.Liverpool to New YorkB.New York to LiverpoolC.Baltimore to LiverpoolD.Liverpool to Baltimore2.According to the author, in which decade of the 19th century did a steamship first attempt to compete with the transatlantic packets?A.The 1820s.B.The 1850s.C.The 1840s.D.The 1830s.3.Which of the following was the most important in the development of the fast packets?A.The increase in the number of people who wanted to go to America.B.The increase in the number of people who wanted to go to Europe after the Warof 1812.C.The increased demand for the transportation of all kinds of cargoes.D.The increased volume of mail.4.The time of the fastest transatlantic crossing mentioned by the author was 13 days and____.A.11.5 hoursB.7 hoursC.7.5 hoursD.4.5 hoursCan’t get out of the office? Try these tips for a healthier, less stressful workday.●5_________For upper-body strength: stand a yard or move away from your desk, with your feet together.
