题目内容

Across the United States, there are several places where two independent towns grew together to become one city — but kept both their names.

Winston?Salem is one of them. It’s a mid?sized city in what’s called the plateau（high land）, between the Atlantic Coast and the inland mountains in the state of North Carolina. The Winston part is a relatively new place, founded early this century. It’s home to the nation’s biggest open?air tobacco market.?

The giant R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company’s headquarters is in Winston?Salem, and Winston is the name of one of Reynolds’best?known cigarette brands. Fast?growing Winston soon surrounded the much older town of Salem, so in 1913, people in the area voted to combine them into a single place.?

From a historical and tourist point of view, Salem, or Old Salem, as it’s called today, is the interesting and unusual part of town.?

Salem was founded in the 1700s by the Moravians. They spoke German, and their community was religiously based, with single men and single women living apart in separate dormitories. The Moravians greatly valued women’s work and brainpower. In fact, one of the nation’s oldest boarding schools for young women— the Moravians’Salem Academy founded in 1772 — is still in operation. ?

Over the years, Salem lost its Moravian character. That all changed, though, when a nonprofit group began to rehabilitate the historic area. These days Old Salem is what’s called a living history museum, with exhibits, music, and tours of 18th-century houses, taverns and Moravian dormitory buildings just seven blocks from the tallest skyscraper in Winston-Salem.?

The historic community is booming again. Just as R. J. Reynolds is taking in millions of dollars making cigarettes across town, Old Salem is generating about S| 15 million a year in tourism revenue and donations.?

61. From the passage we can know that____________.?

A. Winston-Salem is the name of a city?

B. Salem is home to the tobacco market?

C. the city Winston-alem has two names?

D. Old Salem is the name of a tobacco brand

62. It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that__________.?

A. the two cities benefited each other?

B. Salem developed faster than Winston?

C. R.J. Reynolds Company has moved into Salem?

D. the combination meets the wishes of the people

63. The city Salem is special for its__________.?

A. boarding school B. lifestyle and tradition?

C. respect for brainpower D. religious belief

64. The underlined word “rehabilitate” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to “_________”.?

A. reconstruct B. evaluate C. enlarge D. decorate?

65. What will probably be talked about in the following part? ?

A. Some other attractions in Winston-Salem. ?

B. How Winston makes profits from tourism. ?

C. Other examples of cities combined by two parts.?

D. Something about the boarding school for women.

As Rosalie Warren stood at the mailbox in the lobby of her apartment building in May 1980, she shared the anxiety of many other college seniors. In her hand was an envelope containing her final grades. As she nervously opened it, Warren wondered whether her hundreds of hours of studying had paid off.

They had.

“I got five ‘A’s,” she still recalls with elation. “I almost fell on the floor!”

Warren would graduate from Suffolk University with a bachelor of science degree in philosophy and history at age 80.Three years later, at age 83, she would receive her second degree from Suffolk, a master’s in education.

Now, with both diplomas proudly displayed in her apartment, Warren is not finished with learning. Now 93,she continues for her 18th year at Suffolk under a program that allows persons 65 and over to attend classes tuition free. “It’s my life to go to school, to enjoy being in an academic atmosphere,” she says. “That’s what I love.”

Warren was born Rosalie Levey on Aug.29, 1900. Two years after she entered high school, her father died. Warren had to leave school for factory work to help support her family’s 10 children. Warren describes herself as a “person who always liked school,” and she says the move “broke my heart completely because I couldn’t finish high school.”

In the end, however, “I went to school nights,” she recalls. “Any place I could find an outlet of learning and teaching, I was there.”

A short time later, her mother became ill, and Warren had to care for her, once again putting her education on hold.

Finally, in 1921, her mother, now recovered, drew from her saving to send Warren to Boston University for two years to study typing, stenography, and office procedures.

Those courses helped Warren gain several long-term office positions over the next 60 years, but her great desire “to be in the academic field” continued.

In 1924, she married Eugene Warren, and seven years later, her daughter, Corinne, was born. In 1955, by then a widow and a grandmother, Warren took a bus tour across the United States that was to last nine months. She said she wanted to see “things you never see in the West End.”

When she returned home, she took a bookkeeping position and also enrolled in courses in philosophy, sociology

And Chinese history. free program for senior citizens.” I was at the registrar’s office the very next day.”she recalls. At first ,she took one or two courses at a time , but encouraged by her professors , she enrolled as a

In 1975, when she was 75, Warren learned from a neighbor about Suffolk University’s tuition- degree candidate.

“I had not studied for so many years,” she says, “but I was determined.” For the next four years, Warren, who calls herself a “student of philosophy,” worked toward her degree.

Nancy Stoll, dean of students at Suffolk, says Warren is “an interesting role model for our younger students---that learning is a lifetime activity….She is genuinely enthusiastic about being here, and that permeates (散发) her activities and is contagious (传染的) to students and faculty.”
