By 1580, people in Portugal and Italy were also growing potatoes.From Spain, potatoes traveled to France.In France, however, people were afraid to eat this new vegetable.They thought it was poisonous.Louis XVI, the King of France, tried to convince French people to eat potatoes.He even served them at the palace.But for many years, the French still refused to eat potatoes.56.It can be inferred from this passage that_____.A.potatoes were brought to Spain by some people from South AmericaB.potato has a long historyC.it was 550 years ago that people in other parts of the world began to learn of potatoesD.it was the Spanish who brought potatoes to Spain in the year 158057.Potatoes first grew in_____,and then in_____.A.Spain; Portugal and ItalyB.South America; France and SpainC.South America; Spain, Portugal and ItalyD.Spain; South America, France and Italy58.Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?A.French people liked to eat potatoes as soon as they were told how to grow them.B.People in France were afraid to eat potatoes because they thought they would bring some disease.C.It was easy for Louis XVI,the King of France, to persuade people to eat potatoes.D.French people were hard to be convinced so that they soon began to refuse potatoes.BWhat words come to mind when you think of an older person?If your answers are: mean, cranky (古怪), helpless, or boring, you are not alone.They are the same words some Philadelphia students used to describe older people.That was before the students joined Across Ages, a new program.Across Ages pairs youths with older people who act as their mentors (顾问).The purpose is to get teenagers and older people to understand and help one another.“When we first found out we were going to have mentors, we asked how old they would be,”says Will Bush.“They told us 40 and older.We thought, man, that's old.“But when the first meeting was over, nobody wanted the mentors to leave.We were having so much fun.Mentors meet with students once a week.Together, they talk about school, homework, personal problems, or whatever else comes up.They also go on trips to places like basketball games,museums,and restaurants.Reaching out to someone older has helped Steven Mason find direction in his life.Before Across Ages, he was missing school.He wasn't doing his homework.He didn't have a lot of faith in himself.Then Steven met his mentor, Earl P.Powell.Now he's getting A's and B's instead of failing.“When we get together, we go to eat somewhere and talk,”says Steven.“We talk about my grades and what I want to be when I grow up.Mr.Powell encourages me to do my best in school.He makes sure I do my homework.He really cares.Some students have problems at home.Many live with just one parent.Others are exposed to violent crimes as well as drugs and alcohol at a young age.They like the extra attention they get from their mentors.“When our mentors talk to us, they listen and understand,”says Will.Mentors are often easier to talk to than parents or relatives, he says.“Parents are busy people.Sometimes, they can be too busy to hear everything a child has to say,”says Anna Mizell, 68.“But I'm retired.I have plenty of time to listen and help.Antonio Walker is glad for that.“Mentors give great advice,”he says.“Y ou can trust them because they have all this experience.They know how it is.Sam Wyche, 75, is the mentor for Will and Antonio.Sam says he gets as much out of the program as the students.“I enjoy the kids.I like doing things with them,”Sam says.“They're interested in what I have to tell them.That makes me feel good.Sam got involved for another reason, too.“I hope I'm helping kids who really need it,”Sam says.“I wasn't the greatest boy in the world when I was their age. But it's even tougher to grow up now, and I want to push these kids through it.59.Across Ages is_____.A.a bridge connecting young people and old peopleB.a new program for Philadelphia studentsC.for teenagers onlyD.for people at the age of 40 or older60.Steven achieved at school_____.A.because he got help from a mentorB.because he went to eat somewhere with his mentor, Earl PowellC.because Mr.Powell lived with himD.because he lived with just his father61.Which of the following is NOT true according to the story?A.Both the young people and the old people enjoy the Across Ages program.B.The students' parents are too busy to enjoy the Across Ages program.C.There is a better communication between students and mentors than between students and their parents.D.Sam Wyche wasn't the greatest boy when he was young.CCLEARWA TER, Florida—People will be put into prison if they don't return books to a library in Florida.Beverly J.Goldman,24,a pregnant(怀孕)mother of two spent a day in jail for allegedly ignoring notices from a public library in Florida.She became the second reader in a week to be locked up for overdue books in Pinellas County.Goldman said she changed addresses and didn't receive a single notice from the library or the courts until two detectives showed up at her door on Thursday.Goldman, who is seven months pregnant, was arrested on charges of failing to appear in court on seven counts.She allegedly failed to return overdue library materials valued at US $ 127.86.The detectives let Goldman send her 5-year-old son and 6-year-old daughter off to school before taking her in.A 19-year-old boy was jailed earlier in the week for not returning US $ 80 worth of library materials.AP62.According to this newspaper article, if someone doesn't return books to a library in Florida, he/she will_____.A.be finedB.be jailedC.be sentenced to deathD.put into prison63.The word“overdue”in the second paragraph means_____.A.not returned by the expected timeB.with too many booksC.filled with great happinessD.not completed64.Two detectives went to Beverly J.Goldman's home because_____.A.Goldman changed addressesB.Goldman didn't receive any noticeC.Goldman was the second reader to be locked upD.Goldman didn't appear in court even if she was asked to several times65.What is NOT told in the article?A.Two people were put into prison because they failed to return books.B.The woman will have another child.C.The courts had informed Goldman about the overdue book case before the detectives went into her home.D.So far only one pregnant woman has been punished because she did not return books to a library in Florida.DWhy has the world's population grown so fast in the last 150 years? Beginning in the 1800s, many aspects of human life changed.Farms grew in size and number.New farming methods and better seeds increased annual (每年) harvests.People had more food to eat, and countries began buying and selling goods throughout the world.With the invention of new machines, people moved these goods—and themselves—quickly, first in steamships, then in trains, cars, and airplanes.After farming methods and transportation improved, cheap food became available to more people.Before these discoveries, famines—severe shortages of food—regularly caused widespread starvation.Famine is now a rare event in most parts of the world.In addition to inventing ways to grow more food, scientists also discovered what caused some deadly diseases and infections.These scientists found out that certain bacteria(very tiny organisms) make us sick when they enter and grow in our bodies.After the invention of the microscope, scientists could see these tiny life forms and could learn how they caused sickness.This important breakthrough helped to stop the spread of illnesses that pass rapidly from person to person through a population.These widespread diseases,known as epidemics(流行病),included malaria(疟疾), influenza(流感),and yellow fever.An epidemic can strike people of all ages and can cause sudden declines in population.The last worldwide epidemic—in this case,of influenza—occurred between 1918 and 1919.In those years, the flu killed roughly 20 million people around the world.66.Which of the following is not the reason of the fast population growth in the world?A.People have changed their way of life.B.There has been more and more food.C.World trade has become more and more active.D.Widespread starvation makes people eat more food.67.The word“famine”in the second paragraph means_____.A.a farming methodB.shortage of food in a countryC.cheap foodD.invention68.Scientists_____.A.invented the microscope,ways to grow more food and certain bacteriB.discovered deadly diseases and infections and invented the microscopeC.found out that microscope could help grow more food and make us sickD.discovered what caused deadly diseases,found out what made people sick and invented what could be used to see certain bacteria69.What is not true according to the passage?An epidemic_____.A.can pass rapidly from person to personB.can kill the old and young peopleC.cannot help stop the fast growth of populationD.killed about 20 million people around the world between 1918 and 191970.The writer mainly talks about_____.A.the fast population growth in the last 150 yearsB.scientists'inventions and discoveriesC.diseases and infectionsD.reasons of the fast population growthEThe Underground Railroad wasn't underground and it wasn't a railroad.But it was real just the same.And it was one of the brightest chapters in American history.The Underground Railroad was a secret network of people who helped slaves flee to freedom before the Civil War (1861—1865).The slaves were black people from families who had been brought from Africa in chains.They were owned by their white masters and forced to work without pay.The first slaves arrived in Jamestown,V irginia in 1619.Two hundred years later, there were nearly four million slaves in the United States.Most worked on large plantations in the South.By then,slavery had been outlawed(废除)in most northern states.Many slaves were treated cruelly.Some were not.All could be bought and sold.Some slaves bought their own freedom by earning money during time off from work at the plantation.There were free black people in both the North and South during slavery days.Thousands of slaves ran away each year.Some fled to get away from harsh masters. Others wanted to enjoy liberty.The Underground Railroad was started to help them.The “stations”of the Underground Railroad were homes,shops,and churches where runawayslaves were hidden and fed.The “agents”or “stationmasters”were people—both black and white —who hated slavery.They wanted to help slaves get free.“Conductors”on the Underground Railroad led or transported fugitives(逃跑者)from station to station on their way to free states.They had to watch for slave catchers, who were paid to capture runaways and return them.Some conductors guided slaves all the way to Canada.The most famous conductor was Harriet Tubman.She was a strong,determined woman. Before she became a conductor, Mrs.Tubman had been a passenger on a dangerous journey on the Underground Railroad.She lived as a slave on the plantation in Maryland.One day in 1849,Mrs.Tubman heard that she was going to be sold.She decided to escape instead.Harriet Tubman walked away from the plantation that night.She followed the North Star toward the free state of Pennsylvania 90 miles away.Sometimes she hiked all night,from station to station on the Underground Railroad.Once she was hidden under blankets and vegetables in a farm wagon,and she rode through the night.Another time she was carried in a rowboat for miles.She got to Pennsylvania one morning just at sunrise.71.The Underground Railroad was used to_____.A.carry slaves from their homes to plantationsB.help slaves escape to freedomC.help the first slaves to get to Jamestown, V irginia in 1619D.make the slaves work without pay72.Slaves could buy their own freedom through_____.A.overtime workB.the Underground RailroadC.a secret networkD.working on the plantation73.What the Underground Railroad didn't have was_____.A.“stations, conductors and agentsB.people who hated slaveryC.slave catchersD.slave owners74.From the experience of Harriet Tubman,we learn that_____.A.slaves could easily escape through the Underground RailroadB.running away from the plantation was a dangerous journeyC.only a very small number of slaves could run away each yearD.she failed to walk away from the plantation75.This story is mainly about_____.A.Harriet Tubman, the most famous conductor on the Underground RailroadB.America's Underground Railroad systemC.how people in the United States used a secret network to help free slavesD.why nearly 4 000 000 slaves arrived in the United States第二卷(共35分)第四部分：写(共两节，满分35分)第一节：短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分，满分10分)此题要求改正短文中的错误。
