The national debt had shot up from a modest $ 65 million in 1861, the year the war started, to nearly $ 3 billion in 18
28、65, the year the war ended. This was a colossal sum for those days but one that a cautious government could pay. At the same time, war taxes had to be reduced to less burdensome levels.Physical devastation caused by invading armies, chiefly in the South and border states, had to be repaired. This di
29、fficult task was ultimately completed, but with discouraging slowness.Other important questions needed answering.

30、rs, all of whom were liable to charges of treason? One of these leaders, Jefferson Davis, president of the Southern Confederacy, was the subject of an insulting popular Northern song, “Hang Jeff Davis from a Sour Apple Tree,“ and even children sang it. Davis was temporarily chained in his prison cel
31、l during the early days of his two-year imprisonment. But he and the other Southern leaders were finally released, partly because it was unlikely that a jury from Virginia, a Southern Confederate state, would convict them. All the leaders were finally pardoned by President Johnson in 1868 in an effo

35、mphasize the cultural differences between the North and the South（D）to give an example of a Northern attitude towards the South79 When I was growing up, the whole world was Jewish. The heroes were Jewish and the villains were Jewish. The landlord, the doctor, the grocer, your best friend, the villag
36、e idiot, the neighborhood bully: all Jewish. We were working class and immigrants as well, but that just came with the territory. Essentially we were Jews on the streets of New York. We learned to be kind, cruel, smart and feeling in a mixture of language and gesture that was part street slang, part
37、 grade-school English, part kitchen Yiddish.One Sunday evening when I was eight years old my parents and I were riding in the back seat of my rich uncles car. We had been out for a ride and now we were back in the Bronx, headed for home. Suddenly, another car sideswiped us. My mother and aunt shriek
38、ed. My uncle swore softly. My father, in whose lap I was sitting, said out the window at the speeding car, “Thats all right. Nothing but a few Jews in here.“ In an instant I knew everything. I knew there was a world beyond our streets, and in that world my father was a hu- miliated man, without powe

Three buildings away a boy went downtown for a job, and on his applica
40、tion he wrote “Anold Brown“ instead of “Anold Braunowiitz.“ The newsswept through the neighborhood like a wild fire. A nose job? A name change? What was happening here? It was awful; it was wonderful. It was frightening; it was delicious. Whatever it was, it wasnt standstill. Things felt lively and
41、active. Self-confidence was on the rise, passivity on the wane. We were going to experience challenges. Thats what it meant to be in the new world. For the first time we could imagine ourselves out there.But who exactly do I mean when I say we? I mean Arnie, not Selma. I mean my brother, not me. I m
42、ean the boys, not the girls. My mother stood behind me, pushing me forward. “The girl goes to college, too,“ she said. And I did. But my going to college would not mean the same thing as my brothers going to college, and we all knew it. For my brother, college meant going from the Bronx to Manhattan
43、. But for me? From the time I was fourteen I yearned to get out of the Bronx, but get out into what? I did not actually imagine myself a working person alone in Manhattan and nobody else did either. What I did imagine was that I would marry, and that the man I married would get me downtown. He would
44、 brave the perils of class and race, and somehow Id be there alongside him.80 In the passage, we can find the author was_.（A）quite satisfied with her life（B） a poor Jewish girl（C） born in a middle-class family（D）a resident in a rich area in New York81 Selma Shapiro had her nose straightened because
45、she wanted_.（A）to look her best（B） to find a new job in the neighborhood（C） to live a new life in other places（D）to marry very soon82 Anold Brown changed his name because_.（A）there was racial discrimination in employment（B） Brown was just the same as Braunowiitz（C） it was easy to write（D）Brown sound

47、rry blood to each air sac, or alveolus (肺泡), and then back again to the heart. Only the thin wall of the air sac and the thin wall of a capillary (毛细管 ) are between the air and the blood. So oxygen easily diffuses from the air sacs through the walls into the blood, while carbon dioxide easily diffus
48、es from the blood through the walls into the air sacs.When blood is sent to the lungs by the heart, it has come back from the cells in the rest of the body. So the blood that goes into the wall of an air sac contains much dissolved carbon dioxide but very little oxygen. At the same time, the air tha
49、t goes into the air sac contains much oxygen but very little carbon dioxide. You have learned that dissolved materials always diffuse from where there is more of them to where there is less. Oxygen from the air dissolves in the moisture on the lining of the air sac and diffuses through the lining in
