阅读下列短文，从每题所给四个选项(A，B，C和D)中，选出最佳选项．
Only a hundred years ago, people seldom traveled far out of their birth place. Books were very expensive and there were few national newspapers and no radio or television. In fact, most people spent their time talking and listening. Only a very small quantity of reading and writing went on and many people were unable to read or write. For this reason, native
dialects(方言)grew up and people spoke the way their parents and grandparents spoke. A woman from Cornwall who traveled just as far as London would find herself in a place where people spoke what was almost a different language.
Sometimes it is hard to take in just how much things have changed. You are used to owning books and having them around, to reading magazines and newspapers and to a choice of
national television and radio programs. You, and everyone around you, are used to traveling not just in the British Islands but all over the world. Modern science has changed our life and distances have been made shorter. It might have taken that Cornwall woman three days to travel to London. Now it takes less than two hours by air, less than four hours by train and less than six hours by road.
The result of this is that the language we use is becoming more national and the dialects are dying out. Writing, printing and broadcasting have speeded up this change as one dialect has come to be used by more and more people. This is the dialect called standard (标准的) English which was first used outside London in the south and east Midlands.
1．From the information given in the passage we know that a century ago ________.
[ ]
A．people wouldn't like to leave their birth place
B．there were neither books nor newspapers
C．not many people could read and write
D．people learned to read and write from their parents and grandparents
2．If a woman who lived in Comwall a hundred years ago went to London, she would find
________.
[ ]
A．London was far from her birth place
B．London was a strange city
C．London people used a very difficult language
D．she could hardly understand what London people spoke
3．Things have changed so much that people are not used to ________ any more.
[ ]
A．watching TV and listening to the radio
B．reading books and magazines
C．traveling just within the British Islands
D．traveling the world over
36、阅读理解：
Hundreds of years ago, a Roman army came north from England to make war on Scotland. The Scots, a brave people, loved their country dearly. 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 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 battle. 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 too were very tired, and one by one they also fell asleep.
The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they were up the hillside, taking care not to make a sound. 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. He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard, but it did not last long. The Scots wiped our the Romans and saved Scotland.

37、阅读理解
In my opinion, the Indian struggle for freedom bears in its consequences(结果)not only upon India and England but upon the whole world. It contains one fifth of the human race. It represents one of the most ancient civilizations.
It has traditions handed down from tens of thousands of years, some of which, to the astonishment of the world, remain intact. No
doubt the ravages of time have affected the
purity of that civilization as they have that of many other cultures and many institutions.
If India is to revive the glory of her
ancient past, she can only do so when she
attains(获得)her freedom. The reason for the struggle having drawn the attention of the world, I know, does not lie in the fact that we Indians are fighting for our liberty, but in the fact
that the means adopted by us for attaining that liberty are unique and, as far as history shows us, have not been adopted by any other people of whom we have any record.
The means adopted are not violence, not bloodshed, not diplomacy(外交)as one understands it nowadays, but they are purely and simply
truth and non－violence. No wonder that the attention of the world is directed toward this attempt to lead a successful bloodless revolution. Hitherto, nations have fought in the manner of the brute. They have wreaked vengeance upon those whom they have considered to be their enemies.
We find in searching national anthems
adopted by great nations that they contain imprecautions upon the so－called enemy. They
have vowed destruction and have not hesitated to take the name of God and seek divine assistance for the destruction of the enemy. We in India have endeavored to reverse the process. We feel that the law that, governs brute creation is not the law that should guide the human race. That law is inconsistent with human dignity.
I, personally, would wait, if need be, for ages rather than seek to attain the freedom of my country through bloody means. I feel in the innermost of my heart, after a political extending over an unbroken period of close upon thirty－five years, that the world is sick into death of bloodspilling. The world is seeking a way out, and I flatter myself with the belief that perhaps it will be the privilege of the ancient land of India to show the way out to the hungering world. (Gandhi)
1．What is Gandhi's main purpose in the passage?
[ ]
A．To demonstrate that India represents one of the most ancient civilizations.
B．To demonstrate that India has to struggle for her freedom in order to revive the glory of her ancient past.
C．To demonstrate that the means to achieve freedom should nor be violent.
D．To demonstrate that the national anthems adopted by great nations contain imprecations upon the so－called enemy.
2．According to Gandhi, why India's struggle for freedom have drawn the attention of the world?
[ ]
A．India has traditions handed down from tens of thousands of years.
B．The means adopted by the Indians for attaining the liberty are non－violent.
C．The Indians are fighting for their liberty.
D．It is a struggle to revive the glory of India's ancient past.
3．According to the third paragraph, India
is attempting to ________.
[ ]
A．lead a successful bloodshed revolution
B．achieve freedom by means of diplomacy
C．achieve freedom by means which are purely and simply truth and non－violence
D．wreaked vengeance upon those whom the Indians have considered to be their enemies
4．In the fourth paragraph, Gandhi uses the national anthems of great nations to demonstrate that ________.
[ ]
A．until then, nations have fought in the W anner of the brute
B．the Indians feel that the law that governs brute creation is not the law that should guide the human race
C．that the law that governs brute is inconsistent with human indignity
D．that Indians are endeavoring to reverse the process
5．Which of the following statements is FALSE?
[ ]
A．Gandhi would not seek to attain the freedom of his country through bloody means.
B．Gandhi feels that the world is sick into death of bloodspilling.
C．Gandhi believes that India will be able to solve the problem of famine in the world.
D．Gandhi believes that India will have the privilege to show the world the way out of bloodspilling.
