28、ast sea of names, dates, events, and statistics. The students skills are then tested by examinations that require them to show how much of the data they remember. From this experience a number of conclusions seem obvious; the study of history is the study of “facts“ about the past; the more “facts“

29、you know, the better you are as a student of history. But in this way students may become confused upon discovering that historians often disagree sharply. They discover that historians dealing with the same event may come to quite different conclusions about it. Obviously, there is no easy solution

30、 to this problem. Historians disagree because each historian views the past from a particular perspective. Once students grasp this, they have taken the first step toward being able to evaluate the work of various historians. But before they can take this first step, students must consider a problem

31、 they have more or less taken for granted. They must ask themselves what history really is. The word history has several meanings. In its broadest sense, it denotes the whole of the human past. More restricted is the notion that history is the recorded past, that is, that part of human life which ha

32、s left some sort of record such as folk tales, artifacts, or written documents. Finally, history may be defined as that which historians write about the past. 31 What is the meaning of the word “fat“ in Line 1? （ A） Big. （ B） Hard. （ C） Thick. （ D） Well-filled. 32 What do most history teachers requi

33、re their students to do, according to the first paragraph? （ A） They ask their students to read a lot of history books. （ B） They make their students show interest in names, dates, events, and statistics. （ C） They ask their students to take many examinations. （ D） They make students get involved in

34、 many names, dates, events and statistics, and keep them in mind. 33 Why do students become confused? （ A） They can not understand the “fact“ about the past. （ B） They are confused by their teachers. （ C） They find the descriptions and explanations of the same historical events are different from on

35、e historian to another. （ D） They dont know that the quite different conclusions may come out from the same event. 34 Why do historians disagree with each other? （ A） They stand in different places. （ B） They just pick up the most important facts they believe. （ C） They are not good friends. （ D） bo

36、th B and C 35 Which of the following statements is NOT perfectly true? （ A） There is no way to solve the problem of disagreements among historians. （ B） If the students want to evaluate the work of various historians, they should first know what history really is. （ C） History is of course written b

37、y historians. （ D） The concept of history in students mind is different from that in historians mind. 35 Who are the poor in the United States? As of 1970, nearly two-thirds of the poor people were white. Although nonwhites make up only one-third of those classified as poor, this reflects a great ov

38、errepresentation (过分代表 ) of their number because the nonwhites made up less than 16 percent of the total population in 1970. Other categories (种类 ,类型 ) also help to define the poor. There are the aged poor. Almost one-fifth of all poor Americans are aged 65 or older. Another large segment of the poo

39、r in the United States is found in rural areas. Nearly one-fourth of all people living on farms in 1970 were classified as poor. Migrant workers and American Indians are included as part of the rural poor. But the greatest number of poor Americans is found in the cities. More than one-half of all si

40、ngle individuals whose income was below $ 3 000 in 1970 lived in urban areas, as did one-half of all four-person families with incomes below $ 6 000. Government officials have found it important to define who the poor are because each group has different needs. Different approaches are needed to hel

41、p solve the problems of the poor. 36 According to the passage, all of the following are valid statements concerning the poor EXCEPT that_. （ A） many of the poor are old people （ B） many of the poor are foreigners （ C） many of the poor are nonwhites （ D） many of the poor live on farms 37 Which of the

42、 following best states the central idea of the passage? （ A） Poverty is the greatest problem facing the United States today. （ B） The American economy is the major reason that there are so many poor. （ C） Poverty is largely the result of ineffective government policies. （ D） The poor cannot be said

43、to be one uniform group. 38 Many of_are the poor who live on farms. （ A） migrant workers and Indians （ B） white people and Negroes （ C） the elderly and the handicapped （ D） retired people and Negroes 39 As it is used in the second paragraph of the passage, the word “migrant“ means_. （ A） of visiting

44、 as a tourist （ B） of moving officially from one place, job, thing, etc. to another （ C） of moving from one place to another; changing ones place of living, esp. for a limited period （ D） of going from place to place, esp. to a long distant place; making a journey 40 According to the passage, a sing

45、le individual who earns_in 1970 is classified as a poor person. （ A） below $ 1 500 （ B） less than $ 6 000 （ C） more than $ 3 000 （ D） less than $ 3 000 40 By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder (蝰蛇 ,小毒蛇 ). In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the on

46、ly British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all. Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal. Some

47、times attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically (英雄地 )， but mistakenly trying to do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measure. All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adde

48、r presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it disl

49、ikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close. The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously fr
