For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the
17、 correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center./IA very rapid increase in the number of ships between American and European ports began almost immediately after the end of the War of 1812 in order to meet the new need for the regular rapid
18、 transportation of mail, light cargo, and passengers. It was the increase in emigration to America that for the first time made the carrying of passengers across the Atlantic more profitable than the transportation of heavy cargo. A new type of sailing, the packet (邮船), appeared to meet this new dem
19、and, and the extent of the demand very soon resulted in strong competition among several packet lines. The earliest of these was the Black Ball Line established in New York in 1816, only a year after the end of the war. The scheduled service of this famous line started with four of the new fast pack
20、ets each of 400 to 500 tons: the Pacific, the Amity, the James Cooper, and the William Thompson. During the first twenty years of service, the average time from New York to Liverpool was 23 days and the average trip back to New York took 40 days. By the middle of the century, packets had increased i
21、n size to between 900 and 1,000 tons and their speed had increased. The Red Jackel once sailed from New York to Liverpool in 13 days, 11.5 hours. The Mary Whiteridge took 4.5 hours off this record on a run from Baltimore to Liverpool. Such speeds were far greater than the average of from 19 to 21 da
22、ys to Liverpool and from 30 to 35 homeward to New York, but the packets had still set a new standard for transoceanic travel. No wonder that steamships, the first of which tried to compete with the packets in 1838, only began to replace them in the 1850s.（分数：5.00）(1).The fastest transatlantic voyage

In every country, cities reflect the values of the culture. Cities contain the very best
27、aspects of a society: opportunities for education, employment, and entertainment. They also contain the very worst parts of a society: violent crime, racial conflict (种族冲突), and poverty. American cities are changing, just as American society is changing.After World War , city residents became wealth

They bought houses in the suburbs, areas near a city where people live. There are areas without many offices or factories. During the 1950s the American “dream
29、“ was to have a house in the suburbs.Now things are changing. The children of the people who left the cities in 1950s are now adults. They, unlike their parents, want to live in the cities. Many young professionals, doctors, lawyers, and executives (执行官，行政官), are moving back into the city. Many are
30、single; others are married, but often without children. They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; they are afraid of the fuel shortage; or they just enjoy the excitement and opportunities which the city offers. A new class is moving into the city-a wealthier, more mobile clas
