题目内容

8.I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves,most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of.In fact,I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into,take part in and live in.
With this unshakable belief,I,at fourteen,decided to become a writer.Here too,reading became useful.Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say,but being unable to find the right ways to say it.He has to find his own voice by reading widely to discover which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with,or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world.He cannot write without loving to read,because only through reading other people's writing can one discover what works,what doesn't and,in the end,together with lots of practice,what voice he has.
Now I am in college,and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction.As a law student,my reading is in fact limited to subject matter-the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else.Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life.Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own.It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road,all from the comfort of my own armchair,to experience,though secondhand,exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

9.Mrs.Jones was very fond of singing.She had a very good voice,(33)but some of her high notes tended to sound like a gate which someone had forgotten to oil.Mrs.Jones was very conscious of this weakness,and took every opportunity she could find(34)to practise (practise) these high notes.As she lived in a small house,(35)where she could not practice without disturbing the rest of the family,she usually went for long walks along the country roads (36)whenever/if/when she had time,and practised her high notes there.Each time she heard a car or a person coming along the road,she stopped and waited (37)until/till she could no longer be heard before she started practising again,because she was a shy person,and because she was sensitive about those high notes.
One afternoon,however,a fast open car came behind her so silently that she did not hear it until (38)it was only a few yards away from her.She was singing some of her highest and most difficult notes at the time.As the car passed her,she saw an anxious expression suddenly come over the driver's face.He put his brakes on violently,and as soon as the car stopped,(39)jumped (jump) out and began to examine all his tires carefully.
Mrs.Jones dared not tell him (40)what the noise heard had really been,so he went back into his car,and drove off,as puzzled as he had been when he stopped.
3.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
     An apprenticeship is a form of on-the-job training that combines workplace experience and classroom learning.It can last anywhere from one to six years,but four years is typical for most.An apprentice spends the majority of the time in a workplace environment learning the practical skills of a career from a journeyman--someone who has done the job for many years.The rest of the apprentice's time is spent in a classroom environment learning the theoretical skills the career requires.Being an apprentice is a full-time undertaking.
    One of the advantages of apprenticeship is that it does not cost apprentices anything.The companies that hire them pay for school.What's more,it offers apprentices an"earn while you learn"opportunity.They usually start out at half the pay of a journeyman,and the pay increases gradually as they move further along in the job and studies.Near the end of the apprenticeship,their wages are usually 90percent of what a journeyman would receive.Apprenticeship also pays off for employers.It can offer employers a pool of well-trained workers to draw from.
    Despite the advantages,apprentices are usually required to work during the day and attend classes at night,which leaves little time for anything else.Sometimes,they might be laid off(下岗) if business for the employers is slow.
    Once they have completed the apprenticeship and become journeymen,they receive a nationally recognized and portable certification and their pay also increases again.Some journeymen continue employment with the companies they apprenticed with;others go onto different companies or become self-employed contractors.

13.On October 24,1929-"Black Thursday"-a wave of panic selling of stocks swept the New York Stock Exchange.The Great Depression began.By 1932,thousands of banks and businesses had failed.Industrial production was cut in half,farm income had fallen by more than half,wages had decreased 60percent,new investment was down 90percent and one out of every four workers was unemployed.
The Republican president,Herbert Hoover was unable to take measures to deal with the economic collapse.So in the 1932election,he was defeated by Democrat Franklin D.Roosevelt,who promised"a New Deal for the American people".
Within the"Hundred Days",Roosevelt rushed through Congress a number of laws to aid the recovery of the economy.The Civilian Conservation Corps put young men to work in reforestation and flood.
The Federal Emergency Relief Administration aided state and local relief funds.The Agricultural Adjustment Administration paid farmers to reduce production,thus raising crop prices.The Tennessee Valley Authority built a network of dams in the Tennessee River area to generate electricity,control floods and manufacture fertilizer.The National Recovery Administration regulated fair competition among businesses and ensured bargaining rights and minimum wages for workers.
The Social Security Act of 1935established contributory old age and survivors'pensions,as well as a joint federal state program of unemployment insurance.
The Work Progress Administration was one of the most effective of the New Deal measures.Financed by taxes collected by the federal government,the WPA created millions of jobs by undertaking the construction of roads,bridges,airports and other public buildings.It kept workers in the job,thus preserving their skills and their self-respect.
The New Deal programs did not end the Depression.But the economy improved as a result of this program of government intervention.

20.What I remember most about visiting my boyfriend's parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dinner room as we silently ate our meal.With so little conversation I was quick to regard his family as cold.When we got into the car to go home,his father suddenly appeared.Carefully,he began to wash the car's windscreen.I could feel he was a caring man through the glass.
I learned another lesson about the ways of showing love.My father often telephoned me early in the morning."Buy Printer.It's a good sharp price,"he might say when I answered the phone.No pleasant greeting or inquiry about my life,just financial instructions.We often quarreled about it.But one day,I thought about my father's success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his short morning calls.The next time he called and told me to buy a stock,I thanked him.
When my social style conflicted with that of my friends,I often felt disappointed.For example,I always returned phone calls without delay and regularly contacted with my friends.I expected the same from them.I had one friend called Ailsa who rarely called,answering my messages with short e-mails.I rushed to that judgment:She wasn't a good friend!My anger grew as the holidays approached.But then she came to a gathering I hosted and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous month.I was shocked at her thoughtfulness.Clearly I needed to change my expectation of friends.

81.What did the author hear when eating meal with her boyfriend's parents?(No more than 11words)The loud tick of the clock in the dinner room.
82.Why did the author's father often give her morning calls?(No more than 9words)To concern her financial security./To show his concern for her financial security.
/To give her financial instructions./Because he concerned her financial security.
83.How did Ailsa change the author's judgment about herself?(No more than 8words)By handing/buying/giving/bringing her a beautiful dress surprisingly.  
84.What's the passage mainly about?(No more than 9words)The ways of showing love./Different people have different ways of showing love..
