And to top it off, Truckee Police say that in both cases, her blood alcohol content was more than three times the legal limit. The police say Melissa Dennison of Truckee crashed at abou
19、t noon on Sunday on Glenshire Drive just south of the Glenshire Bridge. They say she was extremely drunk and had trouble standing or walking.Her blood alcohol level initially was measured at 346.

23、 the most influence on European and American civilizations were the Greek and the Roman. Often these two cultures are lumped together in our minds, as if they were really exactly alike. But that is not the case. In many ways the Greeks and the Romans could not have been more different. The Greeks we
24、re truly democratic, often without a single leader but instead governed by a group of men chosen by the people. The Romans were semi-democratic. They had a governing Senate, but the political power was mostly or completely in the hands of a single emperor. Both cultures were great builders. But the
25、construction interests of the two cultures were also different. The Greeks tended to be more artistic. Their buildings were well constructed and they were especially interested in temples, columns, and decorative forms. The Romans, on the other hand, were more engineers than artists. They concentrat
26、ed their efforts on urban planning, well-functioning water pipes, and the best roads.Only in cooking and eating habits are the two cultures really similar. Both peoples ate very well indeed: lots of fish, fresh vegetables and fruits, healthy meals, holding at the same time long discussions and tasti
27、ng excellent wines. In fact, it would probably be fair to say that they both loved life in their warm,sea-oriented climates and they both lived a full life.40. What is the first paragraph about?A. The Greek and the Roman were similar.B. People misunderstood European civilization.C. Greek civilizatio
28、n was quite different from Roman civilization.D. European civilization influenced American civilization greatly.41. Which of the following is TRUE?A. The Romans had more political awareness.B.

The practical functions of the buildings.aD. The system of water supply and transportation.43. How are the two cult
30、ures alike?A. Both loved the sea.B. Both lived long lives.C. Both loved cookingD. Both enjoyed talking over meals.Passage Three As recently as three decades ago, many Americans believed that using credit was an unwise and dangerous way to pay for what they bought. Some even thought that owing money
31、to a store or a credit company was something to be ashamed of. Good citizens, they believed, always bought what they wanted with real money and they paid the full price immediately.Today, however, all that has changed. Credit, as some observers have noted, has become a way of life in the United Stat
32、es. More and more Americans now are depending on those small pieces of plastic, credit cards, to pay for large purchases such as televisions, record players or furniture. Many people today would consider it unusual not to use a credit card to pay for a costly restaurant dinner, a hotel room or an ai
33、rline trip. And there are some situations in which Americans must have credit cards. If they want the temporary use of a car, for example, they first must give the car rental company the number of their credit card. That number is considered a guarantee that they will return the car and pay Credit c
34、ards offer two major services to Americans. First of all, they are easier and safer to carry than large amounts of money. Second, they permit people to borrow, to have the immediate pleasure of owning something, even if they do not have enough money to pay for it at the time. With credit cards peopl
35、e pay for goods or services at the end of each month instead of when they buy them. And when the time does come to pay, most credit cards offer people a choice. They can pay all of what they owe for the month or they can just pay usually between 5 and 10 percent of what they owe.44. What do American
36、s feel about using credit cards nowadays according to the passage?A. They consider it valuable. B. They regard it as a shame.C. They think it dangerous.D. They find it quite convenient.45. Why does the car rental company ask for the credit card number?A. To prevent the overuse of the car.B. To make
37、sure that the car wont be damaged.C. To make sure the user return the car and pay for using it.D. To ensure that the car is safely and timely returned.46. What advantage can credit card holders have?A. They can choose not to pay for their purchases.B. They can easily borrow money at a lower interest
38、.C. They can own something before they actually pay for it.D. They can pay only a small amount of what they owe.47. What is the best title for the passage?A. Credit-a Way of Life in AmericaB. Credit Services in AmericaC. Convenience of Living in AmericaD. History of Credit Cards in AmericaPassage Fo
39、ur At the 1893 Columbian Exposition, a World Fair held in Chicago, chocolate-making machinery made in Germany was displayed. It caught the eye of M. S. Hershey, who saw the potential for chocolate. He installed chocolate machinery in his factory in Lancaster, and produced his first chocolate bars in
40、 1894. Other Americans began mixing in other materials to make up new candy bars throughout the end of the 1890s and the early 1900s.

41、e 20 to 40 pound blocks of chocolate to be shipped to quartermaster bases. The blocks were cut into smaller distributed to American soldiers in Europe.

43、rs appeared on the scene. The original candy bar industry had its start on the eastern coast in such cities as Philadelphia, Boston, and New York. The industry soon spread to the Midwest because shipping and raw materials such as sugar, corn syrup, and milk were easily available. Chicago became the
44、seat of the candy bar industry and is even today an important base.48. Why did M. S. Hershey start the production of chocolate bars?A. He was deeply impressed by the Columbian Exposition.B.
