17、e One(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Today the official language of the United States and most of Canada is English. However, French almost became the official language because of a war. The French and Indian War was fought between 1754 and 1763. The name of this war is not accurate because the war was actually bet
18、ween England and France. The Indians fought on the side of the French. France and England were trying to gain control of North America. France held Canada, and England held part of what is now the United States. However, France tried to expand its land by moving southward into New York, Pennsylvania
19、, Ohio, and Virginia. When the French built a fort on the Ohio River, the residents in Virginia sent George Washington to attack the fort in 1754. However, the French defeated Washington. The French, aided by the Indians, outsmarted the English and won many early battles. Later, the British began to
20、 do well against the French. In the final battle in Quebec, Canada, General Wolfe of England faced General Montcalm from France. Both generals died in this battle, but the English outlasted the French and won the battle. Thus most of North America today has the English culture and language.（分数：10.00

25、 few minutes. Five minutes later, when she came back for it, she was surprised to find the neighbor“s eat ate the fish. She was in time to stop the cat before it was too late. That afternoon everyone enjoyed the fish. They talked and laughed until four o“clock. At the end of the afternoon, when she

27、e doctor told her to telephone each of the visitors to meet him at the hospital as soon as he could. Finally the danger was over.

Today it has the greatest effect on science, industry and business, but it is being used more in education and medicine. B
33、y the end of this century it will touch the lives of everyone, even people in distant villages. It is a revolutionary invention. The oldest kind of computer is the abacus, used in China since the sixth century. In the seventeenth century an adding machine was invented, but the first large, modern co
34、mputer was built in 1973. A few years later a computer could do 5,000 additions per second. Now the computations are so fast that they are measured in nanoseconds. Today most computers are stored-program computers, that is, they have a memory. They are getting smaller and smaller, and computing fast
35、er and faster. Even in a large computer, the part that does the actual computing is about the size of the end of a finger. Computers can do all kinds of work. When someone buys something in a department store, information about the sale goes into a computer. A scientist can talk to the computer abou
36、t the rocks, and the computer answers the questions. A doctor can talk to the computer and explains what is wrong with a patient. If the doctor asks why, the computer goes through its stored information and explains exactly why. When early humans began fanning, it was a revolutionary change in human
37、 life. It was hundreds of thousands of years later that people developed a writing system. In less than fifty years people have developed computers that can do most of the things humans can do. This could be a frightening development.（分数：10.00）(1).The oldest kind of computer, the abacus, has been us

40、nd of computerD.an old machine that can do computations.十一、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：10.00)The railroad industry could not have grown as large as it did without steel. The first rails were made of iron. But iron rails were not strong enough to support heavy trains running at high speeds. Railroad execut
41、ives wanted to replace them with steel rails because steel was ten or fifteen times stronger and lasted twenty times longer. Before the 1870“s, however, steel was too expensive to be widely used. It was made by a slow and expensive process of heating, stirring (搅拌) and reheating iron ore. Then the i
42、nventor Henry Bessemer discovered that directing a blast of air at melted iron in a furnace(火炉) would burn out the impurities(杂质) that made the iron brittle(脆弱的). As the air shot through the furnace, the bubbling metal would erupt in showers of sparks. When the fire cooled, the metal had been change
43、d. The Bessemer converter made possible the mass production of steel. Now three to five tons of iron could be changed into steel in a matter of minutes. Just when the demand for more and more steel developed, prospectors discovered huge new deposits of iron ore in the Mesabi Range, a 120-long region
44、 in Minnesota near Lake Superior. The Mesabi deposits were so near the surface that they could be mined with steam shovels. Barges and steamers carried the iron ore through Lake Superior to depots on the southern shores of Lake Michigan and Lake Erie. With dizzying speed Gary, Indiana, and Toledo, Y
45、oungstown, and Cleveland, Ohio, became major steel-manufacturing centers. Pittsburgh was the greatest steel city of all. Steel was the basic building material of the industrial age. Production skyrocketed from seventy- seven thousand tons in 1870 to over eleven million tons in 1900.（分数：10.00）(1).Acc
46、ording to the passage, the railroad industry preferred steel to iron because steel was _.（分数：2.00）A.cheaper and more plentifulB.lighter and easier to moldC.cleaner and easier to mineD.stronger and more durable(2).According to the passage, how did Bessemer method make the mass production of steel pos
47、sible?（分数：2.00）A.It directed air at melted iron in a furnace, removing all impurities.B.It slowly heated iron ore then stirred it and heated it again.C.It changed iron ore into iron which was a substitute for steel.D.It could quickly find deposits of iron ore under the ground.(3).According to the pa
48、ssage, where were large deposits of iron uncovered?（分数：2.00）A.In Pittsburgh.B.In the Mesabi Range.C.Near Lake Michigan.D.Near Lake Erie.(4).The underlined words “Barges and steamers“ could best be replaced by which of the following?（分数：2.00）A.Trains.B.Planes.C.Boats.D.Trucks.(5).It can be inferred f
49、rom the passage that the mass production of steel caused _.（分数：2.00）A.a decline in the railroad industryB.a revolution in the industrial worldC.an increase in the price of steelD.a feeling of discontent among steel workers十二、Part Cloze(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Nobody wants to be sick.
