They came from all parts of the United States in tens of thousands. There were even gold-seekers from Eu
20、rope. Some of the people move across the country by cart, traveling almost half a year and meeting many hardships and dangers. Other sailed all the way around South Africa, finally reached the California shore. Since the first discovery was of tiny pieces of gold at the bottom of a stream, many of t
21、hem searched the waters of rivers for the precious bits of yellow metal. Others made channels to draw off flowing water in order to examine it carefully for bits of gold. They worked with almost full determination and fierce competition(竞争 ). Life was hard and rough in the days of the California gol
22、d rush. A few of the adventurers became rich, but most of them were bitterly disappointed. After having removed from their homes and after traveling the long, dangerous road to California, they had found little or nothing. Some returned home. But many remained in California to work and to settle as
23、ordinary citizens without the riches they had dreamed of. It was this great arrival of population that built up California very fast and led to its becoming a state of the United States in 1850. 36 Many people rushed to California because （ A） they were hungry for discoveries （ B） they were attracte

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 41 The Chrysanthemum and
27、the Sword(菊与刀 ) describes clearly how the Japanese lived and thought in the 1930s and 1940s. The book developed from research into Japanese society conducted for the American leadership, civilian and military, during the Second World War. Benedict describes social customs and traditions found in Jap
28、an at the outbreak of WWII. For instance, Japanese love bathing and the eldest male gets to go first and women having their period go last; everyone uses the same water, but this is no worse than everyone sharing a pool because bathers wash before getting into the tub. Another tradition is that wome
29、n usually control the family purse with the husbands handing over their wages to their wives and getting an allowance. This is still largely true today. For over ten years I avoided this book because it was written by someone who had never been to Japan and also because I avoid books that “explain“
30、the Japanese. So when I picked up a copy lying around at a coffee shop and began skimming, I was very surprised at how insightful it was. Benedict was unable to do her research in Japan because of the war, so she obtained all her material from interviews with Japanese POWs(战俘 ) and also with second
31、generations Japanese Americans in American concentration camps(集中营 ). It is still worth reading today. Things have changed in Japan, as they have everywhere else in the world, but her people are still basically the same. 41 According to the passage, the book the Chrysanthemum and the Sword describes
