Sometimes when the windows are open, you can hear the neighbors’ phone.M: Well, I’m expecting an important phone call, and I don’t want to miss it.Text 2M: Bob is playing computer games again!W: Really? We have tried to talk him out of it several times.M: He is really a hard nut!Text 3M: Finally. I’ve finished my paper. Can y ou check it before I hand it in?W: Sure. Let’s take a look, s weetie. Oh, it’s terrific! I can tell you worked hard on it.M: Thanks. I really did. I just hope my teacher agrees.Text 4M: Mom. I’m too hungry. Where is my apple pie?W: I have ordered it, but it isn’t ready yet. I’ll ask the waiter. Please have a little patience, OK? Text 5W: Oh, Peter, how much do you pay for electricity and telephone service a month?M: My electricity bill is 50 dollars and the telephone bill is about 30 dollars.W: How about your transportation fare?M: 40 dollars.Text 6W: Good morning. Can I help you?M: Good morning. I’d like to make a reservation to Guangzhou for August 2.W: Just a moment, please. I’m sorry, sir. There is no ticket available on that day. But we have flights for Guangzhou the next day.M: May I inquire about the departure time?W: A 9:15 flight in the morning and a 14:00 flight in the afternoon.M: When will the plane reach for the morning flight?W: At 13:15.M: OK. I’d like to book a ticket for this one.W: All right, sir. Please make a phone call to reconfirm your ticket no later than two days before the flight; otherwise, your reservation will automatically be canceled.M: OK. I got it.Text 7W: John, you look pale. What happened?M:I stayed up last night.W:Did you have something on your mind? You look so concerned! Maybe I can help you!M:Well, I’m under a lot of pressure. My manager is very pushy. He assigned me two projects.Now the deadlines are near but I have finished neither of them.W:Is there anything I can do for you?M: Well, I guess no one can help me but myself. For the moment, I just need someone to talk to so that I can relieve my stress.W:I know your feeling. Take it easy and say something to me if you like.M:Oh, you are so kind. Thank you!W: Not at all!Text 8M: What kind of place shall we rent?W: It should be close to the university. Neither of us is good at getting up in the mornings and the closer it is, the later we can get up.M: Absolutely. That’s the most important thing to take into consideration. I’m not too worried about the size of the flat.W: Neith er am I. So a small place is OK, but we’ll get a bigger one if it’s not expensive. Do you mind if it’s in a noisy area?M: I don’t mind. I’m not a light sleeper, but a quieter is better since we have to study at home. W: Good point. OK, let’s go and see whether we can find one.M: Yes, if we’re lucky we’ll find something in the next few days. I think you had a good idea to start flat hunting early.W: How much do you think the rent will be? We can find some information from the advertisements on newspaper.M: I asked a few people who are already living in places near the university and they said it would cost about one hundred pounds a month.W: That sounds ideal. Let’s begin our hunting now, OK?M: OK. Let’s go.Text 9M: Alice, have you been to San Francisco?W: Yes. When I was twelve years old I went there with my family. I lived there for a long time, almost thirteen years.M: Great. You know, I’m from San Francisco. So what do you think of San Francisco?W: I think it is a very beautiful city. There are so many nice houses in these little winding streets, you know, going up the hills and down the hills, and you get the old, the historical trams.M: Right, exactly.W: The Golden Gate Bridge is beautiful of course.M: Yeah, actually I think the Bridge is the most amazing. I mean, even people living there think it’s just an amazing thing to cross. It’s nice. But one problem is that it’s really expensive.W: Well, thankfully I went there as a child so my parents paid for everything, and I didn’t have to worry about that.M: Right.W: If I went there now, I mean, probably I would be worried about that, yeah.Text 10Hello everyone.

【全国名校】2015-2016学年重庆一中秋期高三上入学测试英语卷学校:___________姓名:___________班级:___________考号:___________I、阅读理解(本大题共15小题,共30.0分)AWhen people find out that the product they bought is unsatisfying or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer’s claims , the first step is to present the warranty , or any other records which might help , at the store of purchase . In most cases , this action will produce results . However , if it does not , there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction . A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager . In general , the “ higher up ” his or her complaint , the faster he or she can expect it to be settled . In such a case , it is usually settled in the consumer’s favor , assuming he or she has a just claim . Consumers should complain in person whenever possible , but if they cannot get to the place of purchase , it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter .Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly , and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question . If this cannot be done , the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong , rather than by making general statements . For example , “ The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the righ t one is unclear ” is better than “ This stereo does not work . ” The store manager may advise the consumer to write to be manufacturer . If so , the consumer should do this , stating the complaint as politely and firmly as possible . If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result , the consumer can go to a step further . She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumer’s rights .1.When people find that their purchase is unsatisfying , the first thing they should do is to__________ .plain personally to the managerB.threaten to take the seller to courtC.write a firm letter of complaint to the store of purchaseD.show some written proof of the purchase to the store2.How can a consumer make his or her complaint more effective , according to the passage ?A.Make polite and general statements about the problem .B.Threaten to take the seller to court .C.Explain exactly what is wrong with the item .D.Avoid having direct contact with the store manager .3.What’s the best title of this passage ?A.How to settle a consumer’s complaintB.How to make an effective complaintC.How to avoid buying a faulty itemD.How to deal with complaints【答案】【小题1】D 【小题2】C 【小题3】B【解析】试题分析:当消费者发现买到的商品与预期或使用说明上的有出入的时候,他们最先想到的往往是保修,或者任何可能的商店消费记录。

You are one of the people who keep the social temperature at such a comfortable setting . I don’t know anyone in the office who is better liked than you .You can perhaps help with this . The collection of contributions towards gifts for employees’ personal-life events is becoming a little troubling . Certainly , the group sending of a gift is reasonable now and then . In the past month , however , there have been collections for two baby shower gifts , one wedding shower gift , two weeding gifts , one funeral(葬礼)remembrance , four birthday gifts , and three graduation gifts .It’s not only the collected-from who are growing uncomfortable ( and poor ) , but the collected-for feel uneasy receiving gifts from people who don’t know them outside the office , who wou ldn’t even recognize their graduating children , their marrying daughters and sons , or their dead relatives .This is basically a kind gesture ( and one that people think well of you for ) , but the practice seems to have become too wide-ranging and feels improper in today’s office setting .Thank you for understanding .21. The underlined word ― contributions ‖ probably means __________ .A. reportsB. suggestionsC. understandingD. money22. Derrick is expected to __________ .A. show more kindness .B. discontinue the present practiceC. quit being the organizer for gift givingD. know more about co-workers’ families23. This is basically a letter of __________ .A. apologyB. dissatisfactionC. appreciationD. sympathyBRussia’s security chief has bla med an act of terror for the Russian A321 airliner crash in Egypt last month which killed 224 people . Whatever happened , the tragedy raises sad memories of horrific airplane crashes that have cost thousands of lives in recent decades .Some of the worst such incidents—like four crashes in frightening succession into New York’s World Trade Center , the Pentagon and rural Pennsylvania on September 11 , 2001 the 1988 downing of Pan Am Flight 103 in Lockerbie , Scotland and a 1977 crash involving the apparent hijacking of a Malaysian Airlines jet that left 100 dead—involved terrorist activity . But there are many others that did not , with mechanical problems , pilot error or other reasons blamed for loss of life . Below are some examples of the latter : crashes that left at least 200 people dead in each incident . March 27 , 1977 : A KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Boeing 747 beginning its takeoff crashed into Pan American World Airways Boeing 747 then still on the runway at the Los Rodeos Airport at Tenerife in the Canary Islands . A total of 574 people , aboard both planes , died .July 11 , 1991 : The landing gear of a Nigeria Airways DC-8 catches fire shortly after takeoff Jeddah , Saudi Arabia . It doesn’t make it back to the airport , crashing nose-down less than 10,000 feet short of the runway and killing all 261 people aboard .April 26 , 1994 : The pilot of a China Airlines’ Flight 140 alerts the control tower at Japan’s Nagoya Airport of his intention not to land and try another approach . But something goes wrong and , a short time later , the Airbus A300 crashes leading to 264 deaths—though a few passengers do survive .September 2 , 1998 : A Swissair jetliner that had departed New York’s Kennedy airport on its way to Geneva , Switzerland , goes down off the coast of Nova Scotia ,Canada none of the 229 people aboard Flight 111 make it . Investigators believe that the MD-11 lost all electrical power immediately before the crash .June 1 , 2009 : Air France Flight 447 is on the way from Rio de Janiero to Paris when it and its 228 passengers and crew go missing somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean . It’s not until five days later that the first bodies are found about 600 miles off the northern coast of Brazil . Two years later , French authorities blame the crash on equipment breakdown .24. The first paragraph is intended to __________ .A. memorize those people aboard the Russian A321 airline .B. direct attention to some disastrous air plane crashes .C. show it is the most serious incident in history .D. analyze the cause of the disaster and blame the airline company .25. Which air crash resulted from terrorist attack ?A. China Airlines’ Flight 140B. Air France Flight 447C. Pan Am Flight 103D. Swissair Jetliner Flight 11126. Which of the following statements is not true ?A. Two planes of the same type hit each other on March 27 , 1977 .B. There were over 264 people aboard China Airlines’ Flight 140 .C. Swissair Jetliner Flight 111 crashed during its landing .D. It took five days to find some bodies of A ir France Flight 447 .27. Which of the following might be the best title for the text ?A. Russian Airlines Plane CrashB. Air Crash InvestigationC. Deadliest Airline CrashesD. Mysteries of Air crashesCWhat is the nature of the scientific attitude , the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies science ? We all know that science plays an important role in the societies in which we live . A great many people believe , however , that the progress of civilization depends on two different aspect s of science . The first ofthese is the application of the machines , products and systems of applied knowledge that scientists and technologists develop , through which we improves the structure of society and helps man to gain increasing control over hi s environment . The second aspect is the application by all members of society of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work .What are these special methods of thinking and acting ? First of all , it seems that a successful scientist is full of curiosity – he wants to find out how and why the universe works . He usually directs his attention towards problems which he notices have no satisfactory explanation , and looks for hidden relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected . Moreover , he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves .He is a good observer , accurate , patient and objective and applieslogical thought to the observations he makes . He uses the facts he observes to the fullest extent . For example , trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum(光谱).He is always skeptical –he does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available –and therefore rejects authority as the only basis for truth . Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively to test them . These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts .28. According to the first paragraph , many people hold the view that __________ .A. scientists from different fields have differe nt scientific attitudes .B. the application of scientific knowledge determines scientific attitude .C. the attitude of scientists contributes to the development of society .D. all members of a society should use scientific discoveries in their work .29. What can we know about curiosity ?A. It provides successful scientists satisfactory explanation .B. It gives rise to an interest in interpersonal relationship .C. It encourages scientists to look for new ways of acting .D. It leads to efforts to investigate potential connections .30. A successful scientist would __________ .A. always question unconvincing statementsB. easily cooperate with other researchersC. always use imagination in his workD. reject the evidence from the authority31. What is the author’s attitude towards the topic ?A. criticalB. objectiveC. unclearD. prejudicedDAcross the rich world , well-educated people increasingly work longer than the less-skilled . Some 65% of American men aged 62-74 with a professional degree are in the workforce , compared with 32% of men with only a high-school certificate . This gap is part of a deepening divide between the well-educated well-off and the unskilled poor . Rapid technological advance has raised the incomes of the highly skilled while squeezing those of the unskilled . The consequences , for individuals and society , are profound .The world is facing an astonishing rise in the number of old people . The experience of the 20th century , when greater longevity translated into more yea rs in retirement rather than more years at work , has persuaded many observers that this change will lead to slower economic growth , and create government budget problems . But the idea of a sharp division between the working young and the unemployed old misses a new trend , the growing gap between the skilled and the unskilled folk are working longer . The divide is most extreme in America , where well-educated baby-boomers are putting off retirement while many less-skilled younger people have dropped out of the workforce .Policy is partly responsible . Many European governments have abandoned policies that used to encourage people to retire early . Rising life expectancy(预期寿命), combined with the replacement of generous defined-benefit pension plans with less generous defined-contribution ones , means that even the better-off must worklonger to have a comfortable retirement . But the changing nature of work also plays a big role . Pay has risen sharply for the highly educated , and those people continue to get rich rewards into old age because these days the educated elderly are more productive than the previous generation .

It is common for us to have a drink or some cakes at a café or a bookstore somewhere in a shopping center. But what about running a school café all by ourselves? That's an unusual idea, and as a group of Senior 2 students put it, it was "difficult but fun and exciting".Deluxe X Coffee is on the first floor of a school building at a middle school in Guangzhou. It was opened on April 5th this year. Unlike most cafes, Deluxe X Coffee only opens for three periods every day: from 12: 25 to 13: 00, from 17: 55 to 18: 35 and from 21: 55 to 22: 25. This is convenient (方便的) so it is very popular among teachers and students.The popularity of the shop also comes from the students' hard work. "We are making coffee by ourselves, with high ________but at a low price, " said Ye Jiahao, 17, manager of the coffee shop. He told us that the cakes were booked online and sent to school at 10 o'clock every morning and fresh fruits were ordered from a food market nearby. "quality is important to our business, " said Ye.Yet it doesn't mean there are no difficulties any more. Ye said, "Running a business is like fighting". "The biggest difficulty I've ever had is finding out how to manage a team, " Ye said. He has had to make sure that different departments (部门) communicate properly. While they are learning to deal with every part of running a company (公司), they are still hoping to make some money. "Most money will go to help build a school in the western part of China one day, " Ye said.(1)We can go to Deluxe X Coffee to enjoy a cup of coffee________.A at 12:20B at 16:00C at 18:25D at 22:30.(2)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?________A Students working in Deluxe X Coffee think the job is easy, fun and exciting.B All the cakes and fruits in Deluxe X Coffee are booked online according to Ye.C The price of the coffee in Deluxe X Coffee is much higher than that in a shopping center.D The biggest difficulty of running the business is how to manage a team..(3)The Chinese meaning of the word "quality" in this passage is probably"________".A 数量B 品质C 氛围D 价格.(4)Most money made by Deluxe X Coffee will be used to________.A open a café in a shopping center C help poor students in GuangzhouB buy more cakes and fresh fruits D build a school in the west of China.24. I learned an important lesson last week. Late in the evening I was walking in the park. Suddenly I heard someone crying and shouting behind the woods. I stopped to listen and understood that a girl was attacked (袭击). I heard sounds of fighting. For a while I was thinking whether to help the girl or not.I was afraid. I was worried about my own safety. Was it better to call the police? Then I realized that the girl's voice became weaker, so I knew I had to act quickly. Could I run away from this? Finally I decided that I had to help this unknown girl even if I might possibly get into a dangerous situation. I felt some strange changes inside, a kind of strength (力量) coming from my heart, so I ran behind the woods. I pulled the attacker off the girl. We fell to the ground and fought with each other for several minutes. Then the attacker jumped up and ran to the nearest street.I slowly came up to the girl, who was hiding (躲藏) behind a tree. It was dark, so I could not see her face clearly. But I noticed that her whole body was shaking (发抖), so I talked to her in a soft voice. "You are safe now. The man has run away." After a few seconds, I heard her words with a great surprise in her voice, "Dad, is that you? " And then I realized that the girl was my youngest daughter.It's difficult for one person to deal with all the troubles in life, so give a helping hand to people in need even if they are strangers. Remember the most beautiful gift in lifeis: helping others is to help yourself.(1)The writer didn't act quickly at first because________.A he didn't know where the girl wasB he was worried about his ownsafety C there was something wrong with his heart D he thought it was the police's business.(2)After hearing the man's words, the girl felt quite________.A happyB afraidC surprisedD worried.(3)From the passage, we know that the girl was saved by________.A the policeB a strangerC her fatherD the man's daughter.(4)What does the writer mainly want to tell us?________A Girls should take good care of their safety to avoid getting hurt.B People usually feel worried and scared when getting into a dangerous situation.C Fighting sometimes is a good way to solve problems.D Be brave to help others and you will be paid back in other ways.25.

With the help of virtual reality (VR, 虚拟现实) technology, a lot of changes are taking place in our life.VR is a computer technology that makes an environment and allows users to see and even interact (互动) with it. Just wear a pair of VR glasses joined to your computer and you can experience a lot of things without stepping out of your room."The most interesting part of VR is that it offers an immersive (身临其境的)experience, " said Wang Bing, leader of the Chinese entertainment company Funshow.

According to the Report on Chinese VR Users' Behavior last month, over 960, 000 people in China have bought VR products and 83.2 percent of them have watched VR movies. VR can also be used in some other ways. It can help to train workers before they have to work in highly dangerous environments. VR also helps patients with acrophobia (恐高症)by making them think they are standing on the top of a tall building.However, VR technology still has a long way to go. Users report feeling sick while wearing VR glasses.

Cao's books are set in 1950s and 1960s in the countryside of China, drawing from his childhood experiences. Many of his books have been put into different languages for readers around the world to enjoy.If you read Cao's stories, you will find he expresses love and kindness with sad but beautiful language. Bronze and Sunflower is just one of these stories. A country boy named Bronze who cannot speak meets a city girl named Sunflower. He takes Sunflower as his little sister after her father dies. Bronze does everything he can to make Sunflower happy: He gives up the chance of going to school to make sure that there is money for Sunflower's studies; he catches fireflies (萤火虫) for her and he makes a light to help Sunflower do her homework. With Sunflower getting back to the city, the two good friends can't get together any longer.Though the ending is sad, it helps make the story more realistic (现实的).

Mysteries of Air crashesCWhat is the nature of the scientific attitude , the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies science ? We all know that science plays an important role in the societies in which we live . A great many people believe , however , that the progress of civilization depends on two different aspects of science . The first of these is the application of the machines , products and systems of applied knowledge that scientists and technologists develop , through which we improves the structure of society and helps man to gain increasing control over his environment . The second aspect is the application by all members of society of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work .What are these special methods of thinking and acting ? First of all , it seems that a successful scientist is full of curiosity –he wants to find out how and why the universe works . He usually directs his attention towards problems which he notices have no satisfactory explanation , and looks for hidden relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected . Moreover , he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves .He is a good observer , accurate , patient and objective and applies logical thought to the observations he makes . He uses the facts he observes to the fullest extent . For example , trained observers obtain a very large amount of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum (光谱).He is always skeptical – he does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available – and therefore rejects authority as the only basis for truth . Scientists always check statements and makescientist or technologist thinks and acts .28.

A successful scientist would __________ .A. always question unconvincing statementsB. easily cooperate with other researchersC. always use imagination in his workD. reject the evidence from the authority31. What is the author’s attitude towards the topic ?A. criticalB. objectiveC. unclearD. prejudicedDAcross the rich world , well-educated people increasingly work longer than the less-skilled . Some 65% of American men aged 62-74 with a professional degree are in the workforce , compared with 32% of men with only a high-school certificate . This gap is part of a deepening divide between the well-educated well-off and the unskilled poor . Rapid technological advance has raised the incomes of the highly skilled while squeezing those of the unskilled . The consequences , for individuals and society , are profound .The world is facing an astonishing rise in the number of old people . The experience of the 20th century , when greater longevity translated into more years in retirement rather than more years at work , has persuaded many observers that this change will lead to slower economic growth , and create government budget problems . But the idea of a sharp division between the working young and the unemployed old misses a new trend , the growing gap between the skilled and the unskilled folk are working longer . The divide is most extreme in America , where well-educated baby-boomers are putting off retirement while many less-skilled younger people have dropped out of the workforce .Policy is partly responsible . Many European governments have abandoned policies that used to encourage people to retire early . Rising life expectancy(预期寿命), combined with the replacement of generous defined-benefit pension plans with less generous defined-contribution ones , means that even the better-off must work longer to have a comfortable retirement . But the changing nature of work also plays a big role . Pay has risen sharply for the highly educated , and those people continue to get rich rewards into old age because these days the educated elderly are more productive than the previous generation . Technological change may well strengthen that shift : the skills that make up for computers , from management knowhow to creativity , do not necessarily decline with age .32. What has helped deepen the divide between the well-off and the poor ?A. Longer life expectanciesB. Rapid technological advanceC. Profound changes in the workforceD. A growing number of the well educatedA. Policies which supports people’s early retirement are removed .B. The changing nature of work requires people with computer skills .C. The educated old work more efficiently than the generation before .D. Skills are highly valued regardless of age .34. Which of the following statement is true ?A. The unemployed old has become a common phenomenon in modern society .B. Observers predict government budget will reduce in the future .C. People may enjoy generous defined-benefits in many European computers .D. Well-educated people tend to work longer .35. What is the passage mainly about ?A. Competition in the job market is more fierce between the old and the young .B. More and more young people lose their jobs for lack of skills .C. Technological development and the aging population create deep effects .D. The aging problem is an issue we should urgently deal with .第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)(原创)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。

Finally, he decided to try a different strategy.“I took a cigarette in my hand, looked at it and told myself: ‘Yes, this cigarette will make me happy. I want to smoke it. But I will quit!’” the doctor said excitedly.“This strategy worked, and I have not smoked a cigarette since.

Instead, I agreed that I wanted it, but I chose to control my desires (欲望).”“So be honest with yourself,” said the doctor. “Don't pretend you dislike playing computer games or eating fast food.

He turned around only to find a goose pecking (啄) at the car door. This was highly unusual given that the birds typically preferred to observe humans from a distance.But on this day, the goose appeared to be determined to get his attention and kept pecking until Givens opened the car door and stepped out. The police officer says that though the bird then began to walk away, it kept turning around to make sure he was following. When they finally stopped, Givens realized why the mother goose had been so persistent ---- She needed help to free her gosling (小鹅) that had managed to get trapped in some balloon string.Worried that the mother goose would attack him if he got close to the baby, Givens called the local SPCA chapter. Unfortunately, they were unable to send anyone to help right away. Concerned that the gosling would not survive the delay, fellow police officer Cecilia Charron, who had just joined Givens, decided to take on the task herself.As is turned out, there was nothing to worry about. The mother goose appeared to realize that Charron was trying to help and watch patiently from a safe distance as the officer untangled (解开) the trapped bird. As soon as the little gosling was free, it trotted (小跑) to its mom, and the two took off shortly after. Charron, a 24-year-old veteran of the police force, said this would probable go down as the most memorable incident of her career.4.The goose pecked at the door ______.A.to make fun of the policeB. to ask for helpC. to warn the police of danger aheadD. to lead the police to find out the reason5.What was the problem with the gosling?A.It was caught by the police.B.

Their descendants (后代) in Ecuador and Chile continue to grow the vegetable as high as 14,000 feet up i the Andes Mountains. (That’s higher than any other food will grow.) Early Spanish and English explorers shipped potatoes to Europe, and they found their way to North America in the early 1600s.People eat potatoes in many ways ---- baked, mashed, and roasted, to name just three. However, in the United States most potatoes are eaten in the form of French fries, one fast-food chin alone sells more than $ 1 billion worth of fries each year no wonder, then that the company pays particular attention to the way its fries are prepared.Before any fry makes it to the people who eat at these popular restaurants, it must pass many separate tests. Fail any one of there tests and the potato is rejected. To start with, only Russet Burbank potatoes are used. These Idaho potatoes have less water content than other kinds, which can have as much as 80 percent of water. Once cut into “shoestrings” shapes, the potatoes are partly fried in a secret blend of oils, sprayed with liquid sugar to brown them, steam dried at high heat, then flash frozen for shipment to individual restaurants.Before shipping, every shoestring is measured. Forty percent of a batch must be between two and three inches long. Another 40 percent has to be over three inches. What about the 20 percent that are left in the batch? Well, a few short fries in a bag are okay, it seems.So, now that you realize the enormous size value of the potato crop, you can understand why most people agree that this part of the food industry is no “small potatoes”.8.Potatoes in North America came directly from ______.A.ChileB.

That is not to say that there groups always saw eye to eye. The first political parties developed in the United States as a result of conflicting visions of the American identity. Many politicians believed that wealthy merchants and lawyers represented the country’s true identity, but many others saw it in the farmers and workers who formed the country’s economic base.The event that brought this disagreement to the surface was the creation of the Bank of the United States in 1791. The bank set out to rid the country of the debts it had accumulated during the American Revolution Until then, each state was responsible for its own debts. The Bank of the United States, however, wanted to assume these debts and pay them off itself. While many people considered this offer to be a good financial deal for the states, many states were uncomfortable with thearrangement because they saw it as a power play by the federal government (联邦政府). If a central bank had control over the finances of individual states, then the people who owned the bank would profit from the states in the future. This concern was the basis of the disagreement: who should have more power, the individual states or the central government?The Democratic-Republican Party developed to protest the bank, but it came to represent a vision of America with power spread among states. The Federalist Party was established in defense of the bank, but its ultimate vision was of a strong central government that could help lead the United States toward a more competitive position in the would economy. These different points of view ---- central government versus separate states ---- would not be resolved easily. These same disagreements fueled the tension that erupted into the Civil War over half a century later.12.What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage?A.to persuade the reader to accept the Federalist Party’s point of view.B.to explain the disagreements between early American political parties.C.to explain the importance of a strong central government.D.to criticize the founders of the Bank of the United States.13.The opinion on who could represent American brought out ______.A.different political parties in AmericaB. the Bank of the United StatesC. the American RevolutionD. the Civil War14.Some people didn’t like the creation of the Bank of the United States because they ______.A.wanted to have more political partiesB.wanted to share the debts equallyC.didn’t want to give the central government more powerD.didn’t want to give money to just on bank15.______ would think that separate states should enjoy more power.A.Wealthy merchants and lawyersB.

However, teachers there are excellent, who come from all over country and even abroad. They have a strong teaching ability to make classes more live and interesting, but students will be able to accept knowledge a bit more easily and better. However, not every student was fit to go to famous schools, in that there is fierce competition among students. And students there have to work much harder than these in ordinary schools.I hope the government will take effective measures to make sure all the schools to provide equally good educations.假如你是李华,你的美国笔友Peter从网上知道了“I Sing China”的活动,这一活动旨在推广汉语、传播中国文化,他很想参加这一活动,请你根据要点给他写一封回信。
