根据以下内容,回答题。

Passage Three

Alaska, which was called Russian America before it was sold to U. S. A. ,joined the union as the forty-ninth state in 1959.

Alaska is now the largest of all the 50 states of the U. S..

It was in 1867 that President A. Johnson"s Secretary of State(国务卿) ,Seward bought Alaska from the Russians at a cost of 7.2 million. The buying of the huge northern land mass seemed at first something foolishly done. Not only was Alaska difficult to reach, but it was also hard to bye in, and it appeared to have no importance in time of war. Besides, there are volcanoes there as Alaska hes on the Pacific" ring of fire". In Alaska large treeless areas are covered with snow all the year. For these reasons the buying of Alaska was called "Seward"s Fooly" at that time.

However, in 1896 gold was found in Alaska, and people poured tin to the land quickly. Since then other important natural resources were discovered, including oil. Soon people changed their thinking about "Seward"s Fooly". But most people visit Alaska in order to see the endless beauty of nature that the northern land discloses to them. For instance, there are a- bout 11,000 islands in Alaska. And in a certain area of Alaska the sun does not set for 82 days

every year.

Alaska belonged to__________before 1867. 查看材料

A.Russia

B.America

C.Canada

D.Japan

根据以下内容回答题:Hostility is the urge to harm another person or oneself in the expressi

根据以下内容回答题:

Hostility is the urge to harm another person or oneself in the expression of anger.Anger is an anxiety defense reaction to anything perceived as a physical or emotional threat to sectirity,status,or self-image.Because the need to feel worthy and respected is natural to human beings,and because life is filled with chaHenges,every person feels angry sometimes.But the expression of anger depends on an individual’S psychological make up,and can range from mild irritation to uncontrolled great anger. Internal psychological factors are the sources of anger;environment"al factors bring these out by stimulating vulnerable areas conditioned by the peculiar emotional interpersonal relation-ships of individual childhood.If a baby receives hostility instead of the love and affection he or she craves,the baby defends himself or herself with anger:When his or her shows of anger constantly move others to more anger,he or she learns to repress his or her feelings.Repress-ing anger hides it and its causes from conscious awareness,and makes its expression unpredict-able,less easy to control,and more impulsive.Impulsive expressions of anger,therefore,indi-cate suppression of deep feelings.Explosive“letting off steam”is a way of convincing oneself and others of the seriousness of provocation and the power of anger.It also relieves the pressures of underlying anxiety to a more tolerable level. The strong energy of anger can be used in coristructive rather than destructive ways.It is healthy to release anger through non—injurious physical activity and the overcoming of frustration in achieving personal goals.By examining his or her feelings and reactions,a person can team to free himself or herself from the negative energy of anger.

It can be inferred from the passage that hostility in.the expression of anger is__________ .

A.respectable

B.imaginable

C.dependable

D.unavoidable

根据以下内容回答题:

Every couDle who goes to the altar(圣坛)believes that they will make that trip onlyonce in their lives.They want the day to be perfect,and they are asking for much more than good weather.Thev want the most beautiful clothes,the freshest flowers.Moreover,her family who will foot the bill is not in any mood,to economize. A quick look at any bride magazine will reveal that plenty of attractive goods and services compete for a share of the wedding budget.Besides the obvious choices of rings,dresses,flowers,and photographs,there are the less apparent expenses:a lavish(奢侈的)cake,a rehearsal dinner,a reception,music fbr both the ceremony and the reception,tips,and even nadkins and matchbooks printed with the couple’s names and the wedding date. As the arrangements are generally complicated,there are plenty of services that can be hired to helD with the planning and execution of the every aspect of the wedding:planning the photographs,selecting the wedding rings,choosing the flowers,picking the honeymoon spot,and so on.One magazine lists over 350 such pamphlets published,of course,by businesses who have something to offer.Considering that weddings do more than l 2 billion dollars worth of business annually in the US alone,such activity isn’t surprising. What is surprising is that not one company dominates the industry.It seems that when people plan for a day as special to them as a weddin9,they resist standardization.They turn instead to the small local suppliers known to them or to their friends.Family members or friends often servee as Dhotographers,caterers and musicians.This.not only helps bring the wedding cost down,but makes it more personal. What about the couple that doesn’t want to take in this billion-dollar industry?They can go to eity hall and get married for less than the price of a hamburger.

What does the expression“this billion.dollar industry”refer to?

A.The budgets of weddings.

B.The business ofweddings.

C.The planning and execution of weddings

D.The high wedding expenses.

根据下面内容,回答题:

The crowd stirred and whispered in awe as, on the stage, the horse slowly tapped out the beat.Everyone became tense and quiet as the number of taps neared the correct answer to the horse trainer"s question.After the final tap, the horse paused, seemed to look around and stopped.The crowd went wild !

The horse"s name was Clever Hans, the Educated Horse, and was featured in a vaudeville(杂耍)act in the early 1900s, in Europe.When asked a complicated mathematical question by his owner,Clever Hans would tap out the correct answer with his hooves.For example, if the answer was sixty-eight, Hans would tap out six with his left hoof and eight with his right hoof.Even more remarkable,the owner would leave the room after asking the question, so there could be no secret signal between owner and horse.A mere animal seemed to be accomplishing a highly technical skill of man"s!

It wasn"t until years later that the secret of the trick was revealed.The owner had trained Clever Hans to respond to slight signals.The horse became so sensitive that he learned when to stop from the crowd"s reaction.Members of the audience would start involuntarily, or give some unconscious signal,when Hans reached the right answer.Modern scientists now warn against the Clever Hans syndrome(综合征 ), whereby researchers unconsciously give clues to their animal subjects about the actions they like to see performed!

This passage is mainly about________. 查看材料

A.animal intelligence

B.mathematical skills

C.Clever Hans

D.unconscious behavior

根据以下内容回答题:Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of m

根据以下内容回答题:

Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind. According to recent polls sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very unhappy.Psychologists have been study-ing the factors that contribute to happiness.It is not predictable nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy.The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feel-ings. A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness.Though both may contribute,they are only chief factors if the person is seriously under-educated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs. The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes.People with college educations are somewhat happier than those who did not gra-duate from high school,and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportuni-ty to control their lives.Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education. Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely debilitated or those in pain.Learning to cope with a health problem can contribute to happiness.Those with a good sex lifeare happier in general,but those who have a loving affectionate relationship are happier than those who rely on sex alone.Love has a higher correlation with happiness than any other factor. It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have,and they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time. Children whose parents were happily married have happier childhoods but are not nece—ssarily happier adults. The best formula for happiness is to be able to develop the ability to tolerate frustration,to have a personal involvement and commitment,and to develop self-confidence and self-esteem.

According to the article,happiness is greatly dependent upon() .

A.happy childhood

B.great wealth

C.a feeling that conditions are improving over what they were

D.a college degree

根据下面内容,回答题: Gold used in jewelry is mixed with harder metals to add strength and

根据下面内容,回答题:

Gold used in jewelry is mixed with harder metals to add strength and durability. The metals added can also be used to change gold" s color, giving it a fashionable rose or white tint, or to lighten or darken the natural yellow, tone of pure gold.Mixtures like these, of less costly metals with more valuable ones, are called alloys. Copper and silver are the most common metals mixed with gold to make yellow gold jewelry. White gold is usually made with an alloy of gold and nickel.

The measure of gold" s purity is called a karat. The higher the karat rating,the higher the amount of pure gold: 24 karat is pure gold,18 karat is 75% pure gold,14 karat is 58.5% pure gold, and 9 karat is 37.5% pure gold. All other things being equal ,the higher the percentage of pure gold used in the alloy,the more valuable and expensive the jewelry wll be.

Gold jewelry pieces are usually stamped with a marking to identify the karat amount. While gold that is 24K is too soft for jewelry,18K,14K and 9K gold are all appropriate for jewelry, and they all make pieces that look great and wear beautifully.

Which of the following statements best.captures the main idea of this passage? 查看材料

A.Although gold is very valuable,it is also very expensive.

B.Gold jewelry is stamped with its karat ,weight.

C.Gold jewelry is made using alloys.

D.Colored gold is more valuable than white gold.

根据下面内容,回答题: Staff Sgt, Nicholas Lanier has entered what he calls the "vast unkno

根据下面内容,回答题:

Staff Sgt, Nicholas Lanier has entered what he calls the "vast unknown. "" A combat veteran and father to four daughters, he can"t remain in the military because of a serious back injury earned in Iraq.

But he can"t yet accept a civilian job because he doesn"t know when the military will discharge(使退伍) him. He has no clue how much the government will pay him in disability compensation related to his injury, so he can"t make a future budget. He just waits.

Thousands of troops are like Lanier: not fully fit to serve but in limbo (无着落) for about two years waiting to get discharged under a new system that was supposed to be more efficient than its predecessor. And the delays are not only affecting service members, but the military"s readiness as well. New troops can"t enlist until others are discharged.

The government determines the pay and benefits given to wounded, sick or injured troops for their military service. Under the old system, a medical board would determine their level of military compensation and the service member would be discharged. Then the veteran essentially would have to go through the process again with the Veterans Affairs Department to determine benefits.

Under the new system, which started in 2007 and will be completely rolled out at military bases nationwide by the end of September, the service member essentially goes through both disability evaluation systems at the same time before leaving the military. But the new, supposedly streamlined,system is still such a cumbersome process that it"s leaving many service members in limbo, they say.

Why can‘t Sgt. Lanier serve in the military anymore? 查看材料

A.Because of his injured back.

B.Because of his hand.

C.Because his vision has worsened.

D.Because he has a civilian job.
