9、 Emphatic voices like his have recently made writing courses popular, strangely popular because of their hard-nosed attitude toward correct writing. Most administrators and teachers extend this medicinal metaphor (隐喻), they agree that students are suffering from a serious disease. Many tests identif

10、y increasing numbers of student writers as skills cripples(跛子), and they need treatment. Remedial courses are given every- where. More writing labs are appearing and expanding.Many students are wining to believe that there is really something wrong with them. More students than ever before tell me a

11、nd my colleagues that they are indeed bad writers and need lots of help with grammar and punctuation. I feel like a doctor, my job is to diagnose (诊断) the disease and prescribe cures whenever I read student writing. It would be easy enough for me to circle spelling errors, cross out unnecessary comm

12、as, line out wordy sentences. And knowing that this sort of marking can sting, I would of course write, onto the end of the paper, some- thing about how I know the student really tried hard, something about his rich imagination or his clear potential for doing well.But I wonder whether all these wel

13、l-intentioned scrawls (潦草写几句话) would do little more than confirm my students fears about how crippled he is.21 According to the passage, a “skills cripple“ is someone who _.（A）is seriously ill（B） has a rich imagination（C） is a bad writer（D）has a serious injury to the leg 22 Which of the following is

17、pi. Few women came West prepared to deal with desert sunburn, rattlesnake bites, or arrow wounds. Even when doctors were available, they were of- ten no more knowledgeable than their patients. And most patent (专利) medicines were no more reliable than the itinerant (巡游) merchants who sold them.In cer

18、tain cases, a woman could draw upon the folk wisdom and remedies she had learned back home; Western mosquitoes, for example, proved to be as repelled by a paste of vinegar and salt as were their Eastern cousins. More often, however, a woman was guided only by her own ingenuity in concocting (调制的) to

19、nics ( 补药), powders, poisons, and polishes from whatever she had at land: salt made a passable toothpaste, gunpowder was applied to wants, and turpentine to open cuts, goose grease, skunk oil, and the ever present lard were basic liniments; medicinal teas and tonics were brewed from sunflower seeds

23、ong taste. 28 It can be inferred that most of the pioneers referred to in the passage were originally from where in the United States?（A）The desert.（B） The West.（C） The State of Mississippi.（D）The East. 28 There is much discussion today about whether economic growth is desirable. At an earlier perio

24、d, our desire for material wealth may have been justified. Now, however, this desire for more than we need is causing serious problems. Even though we have good intentions, we may be producing too much, too fast.Those who criticize economic growth argue that we must slow down. They believe that soci

25、ety is approaching certain limits on growth. These include the fixed supply of natural resources, the possible negative effects of industry on the natural environment, and the continuing increase in the worlds population. As society reaches these limits, economic growth can no longer continue, and t

26、h9 quality of life will decrease.People who want more economic growth, on the other hand, argue that even at the present growth rate there are still many poor people in the world. These proponents of economic growth believe that only more growth can create the capital needed to improve the quality o

27、f life in the world. Furthermore, they argue that only continued growth can provide the financial resources required to protect our natural surroudings from industrialization.This debate over the desirability of continued economic growth is of vital importance to business and industry. If those who

28、argue against economic growth are correct, the problems they mention cannot be ignored. To find a solution, economists and the business community must pay attention to these problems and continue discussing them with one another.29 According to those who argue against economic growth we must slow do

32、ut _.（A）the contradiction between economists and the business community（B） the present debate on economic growth（C） the advantages and disadvantages of economic growth（D）the importance of the debate on economic growth 32 Sequoyab was a young Cherokee Indian, son of a white trader and an Indian Squaw

33、 (北美印第安女人). At an early age, he became fascinated by “tile talking leaf“, an expression that he used to describe the white mans written records. Although many believe this “talking leaf“ to be a gift from tile Great Spirit, Sequoyah refused to accept that theory. Like other Indians of tile period, h

34、e was illiterate, but his determination to remedy tile situation led to the invention of a unique 86 character alphabet based on the sound patterns that he heard.His family and friends thought him mad, but while recuperating (恢复) from a hunting accident, he diligently and independently set out to cr

35、eate a form of communication for his own people as well as for other Indians. In 1821, after twelve years of work, he had successfully developed a written language that would enable thousands of Indians to read and write.Sequoyahs desire to preserve words and events for later generation has caused h

36、im to be remembered among the important inventors. The giant redwood trees of California, called “sequoias (红杉)“ in his honor, will further imprint his name in history.33 What is the most important reason that Sequoyah will be remembered?（A）California redwoods were named in his honor.（B） He was illi

37、terate.（C） He created a unique alphabet.（D）He recovered from his madness and helped mankind. 34 How did Sequoyah s family react to his idea of developing his own “talking leaf“ ?（A）They arranged for his hunting accident.（B） They thought he was crazy.（C） They decided to help him.（D）They asked him to

38、teach them to read and write. 35 What prompted Sequoyah to develop his alphabet?（A）People were writing things about him that he couldnt read.（B） He wanted to become famous.（C） After his hunting accident, he needed something to keep him busy.（D）Future generations. 36 How would you describe Sequoyab?（

39、A）Determined.（B） Mad.（C） Backward.（D）Meek (温顺的). 36 “Family“ is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family“ in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own

40、house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family-hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving ones parents and starting ones own life. The mans first duty

41、Will then be to his wife, and the wifes to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wifes parents nor the husbands, nor their brothers or sisters,

42、aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with themthey are their own masters.Readers of novels like Jane Austens Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girls parents, that is, it was the parents duty to find a suitable husband for

43、their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married

44、 pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry. 37 What does the author mean by “family is

45、of course an elastic word“?（A）Different families have different ways of life.（B） Different definitions could be given to the word.（C） Different nations have different families.（D）Different times produce different families. 38 For an English family, the husbands duty is _.（A）supporting the family whi
