2、t Jackson had very little education In fact,he had difficulty reading and writingWhen important papers came to Jackson,he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said If he approved of a paper he would write “ all correct”on it The problem was that he didn t know how to spel

4、,and anyone who supported Van Buren was called “ OK ” Passage 1 这里要叙述 Andrew Jackson 和 Martin Van Buren 这 2 届美国总统的小故事；这 2 个小故事也许可以说明美语中 OK 一词的来历；故事的真实性我们不得而知,不过内容却很有意思；第一个说明来源于总统 Andrew Jackson 的故事； Andrew Jackson 几乎没有受到过什么训练,事实上,他对于日常的读写都有困难；当收到重要文件的时候,在尝试阅读之后,仍是让他的助手帮忙说明文件的内容；假如批准一份文件,Andrew Jacks
5、on 就在上面写“all correct” ；麻烦的是,他不知道怎么这 2 个单词怎么拼写,因此,实际上他在文件上写的是“ol korekt” ；过了不久,他又把这 2 个单词缩写为“OK ” ；其次个说明来源于总统 Martin Van Buren 的家乡的名字纽约的 Kinderhook；为了帮忙 Van Buren 成为总统,他的伴侣为此组织了一个社团；他们把这个社团叫做 Old Kinderhook Club ,社团中支持 Van Buren 的人都被称为“OK ”31The author C A. believes both of the stories Bdoesn t belie

12、 of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each dayAs the rush to live out of town continues rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses,so that it is hard to
13、 say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb But more and more the typical American lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environmentPassage 2 尽管美国幅员广阔,而且土地所产出的粮食远远超过现有人口的需求,现今的美国却几乎完全是个 都市化的国家；不足非常之一的人口在从事农业和林业,而剩余的大多数人都居住在大大小小的城 镇中或者城镇的四周；传统的景象在这里不断发生着变化：小的城镇之间仍旧彼此非常相像,典型 的小城
14、镇仍是出现出大家心目中的乡村的风貌；但是大部分的美国人却不再住在小城镇了；现在半数的人口都在大约30 几个大都市地区 （包括邻近郊区的大型城市）这种大都市地区的人口都在百万以上,总的都市人口数量远远超过德国和英国,更不用说法国了；城市和乡村的人口统计需要 特殊对待,由于我们所谓的住在乡村的人们,每天都会开车前往邻近的城镇工作；当远离城镇居住 的热潮连续的情形下,城镇四周的乡村地区逐步盖满了房屋；那么说不定什么时候,一块乡村的地 区就变成了城市的郊区；不过,典型的美国人仍是越来越趋向于居住在大都市而不是小城镇的环境 中；36If now America has 250 million peopl
15、e C how many of them are engaged in agriculture and forestry. AAbout 25 million BMore than 25 million CLess than 25 million D. Less than 225 million 37Which of the following four countries has the smallest proportion of people living in metropolitan areas. C A United StatesBGermanyC FranceDEngland38
16、Whats the meaning of the word “ metropolitan ” in the middle of the passage.

19、ten in it an account of what we did each day,we should be able to give an answer to the question. It is the same in history Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account ,but often it of them Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their count
20、ry was destroyed by fire or in a war Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to WriteFor example,we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4 ,000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for tho
21、se who lived after themBut we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa because they had not learned to writeSometimesof course,even if the people cannot write ,they may know something of the past They have heard about it from older people ,and often songs a
22、nd dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings ,and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past This we may call remembered history Some of it has ,because words are much now been written
23、down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing But where there are no written records , such spoken stories are often very helpful Passage 3 当我们被问起精确的说书一年之前的这个时候我们正在做什么,我们可能不得不承认记不得了；但 是,假如我们有个册子
24、,上面记录了每天我们做过什么的话,这个问题就不难给出答案了；对于历史的记录也是如此；很多事情由于没有任何书面的记录而被人遗忘；有时也有人会对于他们 国家发生的重要大事进行记录,但是这些记录往往毁于火灾或者战乱；有时也由于那个地方或那个时代的人不会写字,而根本不会有书面记录的存在；譬如说,由于中国4 千年前的古人会写字而且给后人留下了很多文献,所以我们对那个时代的中国人非常明白；但是对于甚至2 百年前的中非人,由于他们不会写字,而使我们对其几乎一无所知；当然了,有的时候就算人们不会写字,对于过去的历史也会多少有些明白；或许是从老一辈的那里听说的,或者从一些由重大大事编出的歌曲和舞蹈中明白的这些传
25、奇和歌舞是从很多辈人流传下来的；很多人都喜爱炫耀他们的父辈在过去的丰功伟绩,我们把这个叫做 “remembered history”（记忆中的历史） ；现在一些记忆中的历史已经变成了文字而保留了下来；由于反复经过口头传送的历史远比书面记录的历史变化大,这种历史不如书面历史那么精确和有价值；但是,在没有书面历 史存在的时候,这种口头流传的故事就很有帮忙了；41. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage.D A“ Remembered history” ,compared with written history ,
26、is less reliable B Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human historyC A written account of our daily activities helps US to be able to answer many questionsD Where there are no written records there is no history 42We know very little about the central Afr

33、king spaces are hard to find, there is often no alternative to walking On the other hand,those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day In fact ,the opposite is often true To go to school,work ,or almost anywhere else, they must ride in carsPassage 1 在奥地利的维也纳,最近当一位名为 Joseph
34、Groeger 的老妇人过世的时候,人们忍不住要问： “ 为什么她可以活到 107 岁呢？” 当对 148 个 100 岁以上的维也纳人进行调查之后,我们得出了答案；有点让人惊奇的是,这些人中的多数人都大部分的人生都是在都市生活的；尽管城市给我们的印象始终都是不利于健康的,但是城市生活往往供应一些乡村缺乏的便利；其中有一个就是这些被调查者长寿的重要因素；这个因素就是锤炼；在城市,对于比较短的路程,往往走路比你等着坐公车去更快捷；就算去搭乘一些公共交通工具也常常要走一段路程；较小的公寓一般没有电梯,人们就不得不爬楼；城市人仍常常步行去邻近的超市买东西；在停车位如此难找的情形下,往往没有别的挑选只
35、有步行；另一方面,那些住在乡村和郊区的人反而无需每天走路；事实上,他们每天都乘坐交通工具,去上学,去上班,或者去其他任何地方,都必需开车前往；Passage 1 在奥地利的维也纳,最近当一位名为 Joseph Groeger 的老妇人过世的时候,人们忍不住要问： “ 为什么她可以活到 107 岁呢？” 当对 148 个 100 岁以上的维也纳人进行调查之后,我们得出了答案；有点让人惊奇的是,这些人中的多数人都大部分的人生都是在都市生活的；尽管城市给我们的印象名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 4 页,共 36 页精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 始终都是不利于健康的,但

40、ise Passage 2 For any Englishman ,there can never be any discussion as to who is the worlds greatest dramatist剧作家Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him ：that of William Shakespeare Every Englishman has some knowledge ,however slight ,of the work of our greatest writer All of US use words ,
41、phrases and quotations from Shakespeares writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used ,rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was
42、full of well known proverbs and quotations Shakespeare,more perhaps than any other writer ,makes full use of the great resources of the English languageMost of US use about five thousand words in our normal use of English；Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand There is probably no
43、better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it Such a study is well worth the effortit is not ,of course,recommended to beginnerseven though some aspects of English usage,and the meaning of many
44、 words ,have changed since Shakespeare s dayPassage 2 当提及谁是世界上最宏大的剧作家,对于每个英国人来说,答案都毫无疑义；只有一个名字值得这 个称号莎士比亚；对于我们这个最宏大的剧作家,每个英国人都有些明白,即使很少；从莎翁 的剧作中我们拿来使用的单词,习语和引用,已经变成了英语使用者的通用词库中的一部分；很多名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 5 页,共 36 页精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 时候我们可能不知道自己使用的词语的来源,就似乎一个去看过哈姆雷特的老妪回来之后埋怨剧中 布满了大家都知道的谚语和引用语；
45、莎翁与其它作者相比,更充分的利用了英语语言这一资源；大多数的人日常使用不过 5000 英语词 汇而已,但是莎翁在他的作品中使用了 2 万 5 千左右的词汇；研读莎翁对英语丰富多彩的使用方法是观赏英语丰富性和多样性最好的手段；对于一个外国人来说,虽说从莎翁的岁月至今,一些英语的用法,很多单词的意义发生了变化,但是对莎翁作品的争论是 非常有意义的； （当然,对于初学英语的人不太举荐；）36. English people _C_ A have never discussed who is the world s greatest dramatist Bnever discuss any issue
