The governm ent was badly run and people’s lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14, 1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792, to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie, also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end, power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte. (190 words)6. What’s this passage about?A. France.B. King Louis.C. The French Revolution.D. Europe.7. Which did not happen in 1789?A. The French Revolution broke out.B. The national economy was developing rapidly.C. The government wasn’t well run.D. King Louis XIV was in power.8. Where were the political prisoners kept?A. In Versailles.B. In Austria.C. In Prussia.D. In Bastille.9. What does the underlined word “abolished” mean?A. Put off.B. EstablishedC. United.D. Ended.10. What was NOT the effect of the Revolution?A. July 14 has become the French National Day.B. It brought some impact on the other European kings.C. Louis’s wife, Marie was killed.D. The king tried to control the national parliament.Passage 2A foreigner’s first impression of the U.S. is likely to be that everyone is in a rush---often under pressure. City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands(任务). Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country.Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don’t, waiters will hurry you.You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else “wasting” it beyond a certain courtesy point.The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called “a short fuse.” We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some return -- be this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee that may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a cafe or coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly. (348 words)11. Which of the following statements is wrong? ______________A. Americans seem to be always under pressure.B. Americans attach less importance to patience.C. Americans don’t care much about ritual socializing.D. Americans are impolite to their business colleagues.12. In the fourth paragraph, “a high priority” means______________.A. a less important thingB. a first concernC. a good businessD. an attractive gift13. Americans evaluate a business colleague______________.A. through social courtesyB. through prolonged business talksC. by establishing business relationsD. by learning about their past performance14. This passage mainly talks about______________.A. how Americans treasure their timeB. how busy Americans are every dayC. how Americans do business with foreignersD. what American way of life is like15. We can infer from the passage that the author’s tone in writing is______________.A. criticalB. ironicalC. praisefulD. objective第三部分:词汇与结构(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分) 16.

As soon as they left home, the father arranged for anadequate income to be provided for 24 of them, but insisted that apart from this they were to be financially self-supporting.

She was leaving her native country to join her sister in the United States. She spoke English very well. Though she was very happy she could go abroad, she was feeling sad at leaving her family and friends. As she was thinking all about this, she suddenly heard the airline employee asking her to pick up her luggage and put it on the scales (称). Maria pulled and pulled. The bag was too heavy and she just couldn’t lift it up. The man behind her got very impatient. He, too, was waiting to check in his luggage.“What’s wrong with this girl?” He said, “Why doesn’t she hurry up?” He moved forward and placed his bag on the counter, hoping to check in first. He was in a hurry to get a good seat.Maria was very angry, but she was very polite. And in her best English she said, “Why are you so upset? There are enough seats for everyone on the plane. If you are in such a hurry, why can’t you give me a hand with my luggage?”The man was surprised to hear Maria speak English. He quickly picked up her luggage and stepped back. Everyone was looking at him with disapproval.(224 words)6.

But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart.Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary (周年纪念) of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality. The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership.But their relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war-which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chirac’s body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug, Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesn’t stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France’s close re lationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britain’s close links with the US.Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years of “doubtful friendship”, they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Here’s one: What’s the best thing about Britain’s relationship with France? The English Channel.(320 words)11. For centuries, the relationship between Britain and France is _____. A. friendly B. impolite C. brotherlyD. a mixture of love and hate12. The war in Iraq does ____________ to the relationship between France and Britain.A. goodB. harmC. neither good nor harmD. both good and harm13. The British are not so friendly to _____________ and the French are not so friendly to .A. Germany; AmericaB. America; GermanyC. Germany; GermanyD. America; America14. _____________ are more interested in having holidays in .A. American people…BritainB. British people... GermanyC. French people... BritainD. British people…France15. What does the last sentence mean? _____________A. As long as the English Channel exists, no furtherdisagreement will form between France and Britain.B. The English Channel can prevent anything unfriendlyhappening in both France and Britain.C.France and Britain are near neighbors, and this will helpbalance the relationship between them.D. The English Channel is the largest enemy between France and Britain.第三部分:词汇与结构(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分) 16.

The lecturer speaks for one or two hours, perhaps 21 the talk with slides, writing up important information on the blackboard, 22 reading material and giving out assignment.

Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educatedbecause more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world’s use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of years. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.11.

Custom has also governed the common practice in regard to its use. All the armed services have precise regulations on how to display the national flag. This may vary somewhat from the general rules. The national flag should be raised and lowered by hand. Do not raise the flag while it is folded. Unfold the flag first, and then hoist it quickly to the top of the flagpole.

Between the hours of 11 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can’t wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.Actually, soaps are more than a college f avorite; they’re a youth favorite. When school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials. During the 1960’s, it wa s uncommon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Young people want to be happy. It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing trouble in people’s lives. But soap opera is enjoyment. Young people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems.11. What is soap opera? _________A. Plays based on science fiction stories.B. Plays based on non-fiction stories.C. The daytime serial dramas on TV.D. Popular documentary films on TV.12. What can be the best title of the passage? _________A. College student viewers.B. Favorite TV serials.C. Soap opera fans.D. College-age viewers.13. Which is NOT the reasons why the soap opera has suddenlybecome “in” among American young people? _________A. Because the viewers want to be happy and to enjoy themselves.B. Because the soap opera makes young people feel close to their people.C. Because the viewers can find themselves in the soap opera characters.D. Because the young people have to bear the responsibilities for their troubles.14. What can we learn from the passage? _________A. College students like soap operas more than any other social groups.B. Young people of sixties liked soap operas more than people today.C. Young viewers have turned themselves from the seriousness of sixties to enjoyment now.D. The young as a whole are trying to look for happy love but in vain.15. What message does the author want to convey to us? _________A. The people’s favorites to drama works have been changed for a long time.B. The people’s favorites to drama works change along with the times.C. The people’s favorites to drama works is changed by the soap opera.D. The people’s favorites have changed the drama works.第三部分:词汇与结构(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分) 16.

You can only find reading materials badly 22 there---some are too strange for anyone to believe, 23 are frightening stories of something even worse. However, many of the young students are getting absorbed in such poisonous reading, which costs them what they should pay for their breakfast and bring them nightmares and immoral ideas 24 return. Homework is left undone, daily games lost.These sellers shout on streets selling their papers well. The writers, publishers and printers, 25 they are, we never know, are making their silent money. The sheep skinned wolf’s stories seem to have been forgotten once again.Why not forbid this kind of things at school? Yes, both teachers and parents have 26 each other for more strict control of the young readers. Yet unfortunately, 27 you want to forbid it, the more they want to have a look at it. Sometimes you may even find several children share one patched paper, which has traveled from one hand to 28 driven by the curious nature.It really does harm to our society. It has already formed a sort of moral pollution. The 29 teachers and parents need more powerful support. Meanwhile, the young readers need more interesting books to help them 30 these ugly papers.21. A. it B. that C. which D. this pollution22. A. made of B. made up C. made from D. made in23. A. the others B. others C. the other D. some others24. A. as B. in C. for D. from25.

全国网络教育统一考试[大学英语B]综合练习题第1套交际用语1.How do you go to work?A, I go to work everyday.B, I do not go to work everyday.C, By train.D, By air.2. Good morning, John. How are you doing?A, I am pleased.B, Good night.C. Not so bad. And you?D, How do you do?3, - We are planning an outing.- Sure.A, Where are you doing?B, When will you leave?C, How is everything?D, Do you want to join us?4,We ordered 20 boxes of your products, but we have only got 19.A, You do not have to.B, It does not matter.C, We will send another tomorrow.D, Nothing serious.5, - Hello, I'd like to speak to Mr. Wang.- , He's out to lunch now.A, Sorry, you can't.B, I do not knowC, You can'tD, Would you mind calling back later?阅读Passage OneIf you've been joining in chat room conversations, or reading email with net pals, you have become one of the millions who write in a special, short form of English. Throughout the world, every night children and their elders are "talking" on-line: many of them are talking at the same time.It is fast: trying talking to six people once. It is convenient: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness, concentration and quick fingers. And it requires very simple language. There’s neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste precious time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB(=be right back) will do? Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (=pardon me for jumping in). Interested in whom you're talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pal's age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/HK as a reply from your pal. If something makes you laugh, say you're OTF (=on the floor), or LOL (=laughing out loud), or join the two into ROTFL (=rolling on the floor laughing).And when it’s time to get back to work or go to bed, you type GTG (=got to go) or TTYL (=talk to you later).People want to write as fast as possible, and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can. Capital letters are left in the dust, except when expressing feeling, as it takes more time to hold down the "shift" key and use capitals. Punctuation is going too.6, When people are on-line, they talk by ______.A. using body languageB. drawing some strange picturesC. making phone callsD. making use of an especially short form of English7. The Internet makes many people in the world ______A. talking at the same timeB. discover their friends and relativesC. pick out good things to buyD. find out about some problems in society8. The sentence "There’s neither time nor space for explanations" means thatA. people should use words properlyB. people should know what time it is when they are talkingC. People on-line have to express themselves in a simple wayD. people should communicate in a funny way9, If you get 19/M/HK as an answer to your A/S/L, it meansA. the person who is talking to you is 19 from Hong Kong and he is highB. you are talking to a boy 19 years old and he lives in Hong KongC. you are talking to 19 boys from Hong Kong at the same timeD. the boy from Hong Kong has been online for 19 minutes10, Which of the following is a way to save on-line time?A. People seldom use capital letters or punctuation marks.B. Many people draw pictures.C. People only use the mouse instead of the keyboard.D. People never use the "shift" key.Passage TwoMany people believe they are supposed to drink eight glasses of water a day, or about two liters. Why? Because that is what they have been told all their life. But a new report offers some different advice. Experts say people should obey their bodies; they should drink as much water as they feel like drinking.The report says most healthy people meet their daily needs for liquid by letting thirst be their guide. The report is from the Institute of Medicine, part of the National Academies. This organization provides scientific and technical advice to the government and the public.The report contains some general suggestions. The experts say women should get about two-point-seven liters of water daily. Men should get about three-point-seven liters. But wait—in each case that is more than eight glasses.There is an important difference. The report does not tell people how many glasses of water to drink. In fact, the experts say it may be impossible to know how many glasses are needed to meet these guidelines. This is because the daily water requirement can include the water content in foods. People do not get water only by forcing themselves to drink a set number of glasses per day. People also drink fruit juices and sodas and milk. They drink coffee and tea. These all contain water.As you might expect, the Institute of Medicine says people need to drink more water when they are physicallyactive. The same is true of those who live in hot climates. Spending on heat and activity, people could need two times as much water as others do.11, According to the passage, experts advise people to _______A. drink eight glasses of water a dayB. drink as much water as they feel like drinkingC. drink a glass of water after each mealD. drink no less than eight glasses of water a day12, Most healthy people meet their daily needs for water by drinkingA when they are tiredB when they are sweatingC when they are thirstyD when they are hungry13, The Institute of Medicine usuallyA changes some traditional ideasB announces some medical advancesC provides scientific and technical advice to the government and the publicD provides scientific and technical advice to the National Academies14, Which of the following is TRUE?A People’s daily water requirement can include the water content in foods.B The report does tell people how many glasses of water to drink a day.C The experts say it may be possible to know how many glasses are needed to meet these guideline.D People can’t get water when they drink fruit juices and sodas and milk.15, People need to drink more waterA when they are physically activeB when they live in hot climatesC when they are running long distanceD all of the above词汇与语法16, I earn 10 dollars ______ hour as ______ supermarket cashier on Saturdays.A a …anB the …aC an … aD an … the17,He made a living in the past ________ in a middle school.A teachingB taughtC by teachingD on teaching18 There ______ a book and some magazines on the desk.A isB areC haveD has19, Yesterday was _______ day that we decided to go swimming.A such beautifulB so beautifulC such a beautifulD a so beautiful20.

The governm ent was badly run and people’s lives were miserable. King Louis XIV tried to control the national parliament and raise more taxes. But his effort failed. He ordered his troops to Versailles. The people thought that Louis intended to put down the Revolution by force. On July 14, 1789, they stormed and took the Bastille, where political prisoners were kept. Ever since that day, July 14 has been the French National Day. Louis tried to flee the country in 1792, to get support from Austria and Prussia. However, he was caught and put in prison. In September 1792, the monarchy was abolished. In the same year, Louis was executed. A few months later his wife, Marie, also had her head cut off. The Revolution of France had frightened the other kings of Europe. Armies from Austria and Prussia began to march against France. The French raised republican armies to defend the nation. The Revolution went through a period of terror. Thousands of people lost their lives. In the end, power passed to Napoleon Bonaparte. (190 words)6. What’s this passage about?A. France.B. King Louis.C. The French Revolution.D. Europe.7.

City people appear always to be hurrying to get where they are going restlessly, seeking attention in a store, and elbowing others as they try to complete their errands(任务). Racing through daytime meals is part of the pace of life in this country.Working time is considered precious. Others in public eating places are waiting for you to finish so that they too can be served and get back to work within the time allowed. Each person hurries to make room for the next person. If you don’t, waiters will hurry you.You also find drivers will be abrupt and that people will push past you. You will miss smiles, brief conversations, and small courtesies with strangers. Don’t take it personally. This is because people value time highly, and they resent someone else “wasting” it beyond a certain courtesy point.The view of time affects the importance we attach to patience. In the American system of values, patience is not a high priority. Many of us have what might be called “a short fuse.” We begin to move restlessly about if we feel time is slipping away without some return -- be this in terms of pleasure, work value, or rest. Those coming from lands where time is looked upon differently may find this matter of pace to be one of their most difficult adjustments in both business and daily life.Many newcomers to the States will miss the opening courtesy of a business call, for example, they will miss the ritual socializing that goes with a welcoming cup of tea or coffee that may be traditional in their own country. They may miss leisurely business chats in a cafe or coffeehouse. Normally, Americans do not assess their visitors in such relaxed surroundings over prolonged small talks. We seek out evidence of past performance rather than evaluate a business colleague through social courtesies. Since we generally assess and probe professionally rather than socially, we start talking business very quickly. (348 words)11. Which of the following statements is wrong? ______________A. Americans seem to be always under pressure.B. Americans attach less importance to patience.C. Americans don’t care much about ritual socializing.D. Americans are impolite to their business colleagues.12. In the fourth paragraph, “a high priority” means______________.A. a less important thingB. a first concernC. a good businessD. an attractive gift13. Americans evaluate a business colleague______________.A. through social courtesyB. through prolonged business talksC. by establishing business relationsD. by learning about their past performance14. This passage mainly talks about______________.A. how Americans treasure their timeB. how busy Americans are every dayC. how Americans do business with foreignersD. what American way of life is like15.

She was leaving her native country to join her sister in the United States. She spoke English very well. Though she was very happy she could go abroad, she was feeling sad at leaving her family and friends. As she was thinking all about this, she suddenly heard the airline employee asking her to pick up her luggage and put it on the scales (称). Maria pulled and pulled. The bag was too heavy and she just couldn’t lift it up. The man behind her got ve ry impatient. He, too, was waiting to check in his luggage.“What’s wrong with this girl?” He said, “Why doesn’t she hurry up?” He moved forward and placed his bag on the counter, hoping to check in first. He was in a hurry to get a good seat.Maria was very angry, but she was very polite. And in her best English she said, “Why are you so upset? There are enough seats for everyone on the plane. If you are in such a hurry, why can’t you give me a hand with my luggage?”The man was surprised to hear Maria speak English. He quickly picked up her luggage and stepped back.

But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart.Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 100th anniversary (周年纪念) of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality. The agreement marked a new beginning for the countries following centuries of wars and love-hate partnership.But their relationship has been ups and downs over the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war-which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against it. This discomfort is expressed in Blair and Chirac’s body language at international meetings. While the French leader often greets German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug, Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesn’t stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction. Surveys show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike France’s close relationship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britain’s close links with the US.Whatever the answer is, as both sides celebrate 100 years of “doubtful friendship”, they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Here’s one: What’s the best thing about Britain’s relationship with France? The English Channel.(320 words)11. For centuries, the relationship between Britain and France is _____. A. friendly B. impolite C. brotherlyD. a mixture of love and hate12. The war in Iraq does ____________ to the relationship between France and Britain.A. goodB. harmC. neither good nor harmD. both good and harm13. The British are not so friendly to _____________ and the French are not so friendly to .A. Germany; AmericaB. America; GermanyC. Germany; GermanyD. America; America14. _____________ are more interested in having holidays in .A. American people…BritainB. British people... GermanyC. French people... BritainD. British people…France 15. What does the last sentence mean? _____________A. As long as the English Channel exists, no furtherdisagreement will form between France and Britain.B. The English Channel can prevent anything unfriendlyhappening in both France and Britain.C.France and Britain are near neighbors, and this will helpbalance the relationship between them.D. The English Channel is the largest enemy between France and Britain.第三部分:词汇与结构(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分) 16.

The lecturer speaks for one or two hours, perhaps 21 the talk with slides, writing up important information on the blackboard, 22 reading material and giving out assignment. The new student sees the other students continuously writing on notebooks and 23 what to write. Very often the student leaves the lecture with notes which do not catch the main points and 24 become hard even for the students to understand.Most institutions provide courses which assist new students to develop the skills they need to be 25 listeners and note-takers.

We encourage all students to volunteer for at least one community activity before they graduate. A new community program called “One On One” helps elementary students who’ve fallen behind. Your education majors might be especially interested in it because it offers the opportunity to do some teaching, that is, tutoring in math and English.You’d have to volunteer two hours a week for one semester. You can choose to help a child with math, English, or both. Half-hour lessons are fine, so you could do a half hour of each subject two days a week.Professor Dodge will act as a mentor to the tutors---he’ll be available to help you with lesson plans or to offer suggestions for activities. He has office hours every Tuesday and Thursday afternoon. You can sign up for the program with him and begin the tutoring next week.I’m sure you’ll enjoy this community service...and you’ll gain valuable experience at the same time.

Wide spread use of written language would not have been possible without some cheap and practical material to write on. The invention of paper meant that more people could be educated because more books could be printed and distributed. Together with the printing press, paper provided an extremely important way to communicate knowledge.How much paper do you use every year? Probably you cannot answer that question quickly. In 1900 the world’s use of paper was about one kilogram for each person a year. Now some countries use as much as 50 kilograms of paper for each person a year. Countries like the United States, England and Sweden use more paper than other countries.Paper, like many other things that we use today, was first made in China. In Egypt and the West, paper was not very commonly used before the year 1400. The Egyptians wrote on a kind of material made of a water plant. Europeans used parchment for many hundreds of years. Parchment was very strong; it was made from the skin of certain young animals. We have learnt of the most important facts of European history from records that were kept on parchment.11. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “parchment”?_________A. The skin of young animals.B. A kind of paper made from the skin of certain young animals.C. The paper used by European countries.D. The paper of Egypt.12. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the invention of paper? _________A. More jobs could be provided than before.B. More people could be educated than before.C. More books could be printed and distributed.D. More ways could be used to exchange knowledge.13. When did the Egyptians begin to use paper widely? _________A. Around 1400.B. Around 1900.C.

Custom has also governed the common practice in regard to its use. All the armed services have precise regulations on how to display the national flag. This may vary somewhat from the general rules. The national flag should be raised and lowered by hand. Do not raise the flag while it is folded. Unfold the flag first, and then hoist it quickly to the top of the flagpole. Lower it slowly and with dignity. Place no objects on or over the flag. Do not use the flag as part of a costume or athletic uniform. Do not print it upon cushions, handkerchiefs, paper napkins or boxes. A federal law provides that the trademark cannot be registered if it comprises the flag, or badgers of the US. When the flag is used to u nveil a statue or monument, it shouldn’t serve as a covering of the object to be unveiled. If it is displayed on such occasions, do not allow the flag to fall to the ground, but let it be carried high up in the air to form a feature of the ceremony. Take every precaution to prevent the flag from soiled. It should not be allowed to touch the ground or floor, nor to brush against objects. 6.

Between the hours of 11 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., college television lounges are filled with soap opera fans who can’t wait to see the next episode in the lives of their favorite characters.Actually, soaps are more than a college favorite; they’re a youth favorite. When school is out, high-school students are in front of their TV sets. One young working woman admitted that she turned down a higher paying job rather than give up watching her favorite serials. During the 1960’s, it was uncommon for young people to watch soap operas. The mood of the sixties was very different from now. It was a time of seriousness, and talk was about social issues of great importance.Now, seriousness has been replaced by fun. Young people want to be happy. It may seem strange that they should turn to soap opera, which is known for showing trouble in people’s lives. But soap opera is enjoyment. Young people can identify with the soap opera character, who, like the college-age viewer, is looking for happy love, and probably not finding it. And soap opera gives young people a chance to feel close to people without having to bear any responsibility for their problems.11. What is soap opera? _________A. Plays based on science fiction stories.B. Plays based on non-fiction stories.C. The daytime serial dramas on TV.D. Popular documentary films on TV.12. What can be the best title of the passage? _________A. College student viewers.B. Favorite TV serials.C. Soap opera fans.D. College-age viewers.13. Which is NOT the reasons why the soap opera has suddenlybecome “in” among American young people? _________A. Because the viewers want to be happy and to enjoy themselves.B.

The name of this war is not accurate because the war was actually between England and France. The Indian fought on the side of the French.France and England were trying to gain control of North America. France held Canada, and England held part of what is now the United States. However, France tried to expand its land by moving southward into New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Virginia. When the French built a fort on the Ohio River, the residents in Virginia sent George Washington to attack the fort in 1754. However, the French defeated Washington.The French, aided by Indians, outsmarted(更精明)the English and won many early battles. Later, the British began to do well against the French.
