23、(总题数：0，分数：0.00)ABlack Americans have served with honor in every American military action, though this fact is often not written in history books. Even though black men begged to be allowed to serve in the Revolution War, they served well. During the Revolution War a black man named Estabrook capture
24、d Royal Army“s General Prescott Newport and Peter Salem, a black, killed Major Pitcairn as he was savoring his victory at Bunker Hill. Though whites had long believed that blacks could neither command nor use firearms, blacks fought bravely. In 1863, William Carney received the Congressional Medal o
25、f Honor for his vole in battles. In World War ,40, 00 black soldiers served with this French command Johnson and Needham Robert were the first Americans to win tile Croix de Guerre-France“s top military award. During World War R over 40, 000 black soldiers served in the army forces. Dorie Miller, a
26、black, was one of the first heroes in this war. At Pearl Harbor during Japanese attack, he shot down four planes.

29、oducts of all colors and shapes in a supermarket, making you believe that they are worth a try. How? Packaging(包装) is the silent but persuading salesman. There on the shelves, each bottle, can, box, and jar has been carefully designed and measured to speak to the inner self of the consumer(消费者), so
30、that is buying not only a product but also his belief in life. Scientists have studied consumer behavior recently and found that the look of the package has a great effect on the “quality“ of the product and on how well it sells, because“ Consumers generally cannot tell between a product and its pac
31、kage. Many products are packages and many packages are products, “as Louis Cheskin, the first social scientist studying consumers“ feeling for packaging, noticed. Colors are one of the best tools in packaging. Studies of eye movement have shown that colors draw human attention quickly. Take V8 for e
32、xample. For many years, the bright red color of tomatoes and carrots on the thin bottle makes you feel that it is very good for your body. And the word “green“ today can keep food prices going up. Shapes are another attraction. Circles often suggest happiness and peacefulness, because these shapes a
33、re pleasing to both the eye and the heart. That“s why the round yellow M signs of McDonald“s are inviting to both young and old. This new consumer response (反应)to the colors and shapes of packages reminds producers and sellers that people buy to satisfy both body and soul.（分数：3.00）(1).According to t
34、he passage, _ seems to be able to persuade a consumer to buy the product.（分数：0.75）A.the pleasing color of the packageB.the special taste of the productC.the strange shape of the packageD.the belief in the product(2).If a package or a product is round in shape, it can _.（分数：0.75）A.bring excitement to
35、 the consumersB.attract the consumers“ attentionC.catch the eye movement of the consumersD.produce a happy and peaceful feeling(3).“And the word “green“ today can keep food prices going up. “This sentence suggests that consumers today are _.（分数：0.75）A.starting to notice the importance of new foodB.e
36、njoying the beauty of nature more than beforeC.beginning to like green vegetablesD.paying more attention to their healthy(4).It can be inferred from the passage that V8 is a kind of _.（分数：0.75）A.vegetable dishB.healthy juiceC.iced drinkD.red vegetableCBy far the most common snake in Britain is the a
37、dder(喹蛇). In Scotland, in fact, there axe no other kinds of poisonous snake. It can be found almost anywhere, but it prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high ground. In Ireland there are no snakes at all. Most people regard snake bites as deadly, but not all bites are serious,
38、and very few are deadly. Some- times attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be mere dangerous than the bite itself, with someone heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery(外科手术)and other unnecessary measures. All snakes have small teeth, so it follows that all snakes can bite, on
39、ly the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes axe shy animals and are fax more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pi
40、ck it up, which it dislikes strongly. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot move very rapidly and may attack before moving if you axe very close. The effect of a bite changes considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is t
41、he body-weight of the person bitten. The bigger the person, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites than adults. A healthy person will also have better resistance against the poison. Very few people actually die from snake bites in
42、Britain, and though these bites can make some people very ill, there axe probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.（分数：3.00）(1).Where do you know adders axe to be found?（分数：0.75）A.In many parts of Britain and Ireland.B.Everywhere in Britain expe
43、ct, Scotland.C.On wild land throughout Britain.D.In shady fields in Scotland.(2).If you are with someone who is bitten by an adder, you should _.（分数：0.75）A.try to catch the adderB.make no attempt to treat the bite by yourselfC.not worry about the victim (受害者)D.operate on him as soon as possible(3).W
44、e are told that adders are _.（分数：0.75）A.normally friendly towards peopleB.unlikely to bite except in self-defenceC.fond of attacking anyone in their territoryD.not afraid of human beings(4).If an adder hears you coming, it will usually _.（分数：0.75）A.take no notice of you at allB.attack you before mov
45、ing awayC.wait until you are close and then attackD.move out of your pathDShyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people axe anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are over concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring i
46、n their minds: what kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes? It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people unfavorably. Adperson“s self- concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves and the way a person behaves af
47、fects other people“s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a deep affect on all areas of their lives. Shy people, have low self-esteem (自尊), are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing“ the right thing“. Shy people ar
48、e very sensitive to criticism. It makes them feel inferior(自卑). They also find it difficult to be pleased by praises because they believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may respond to a praises with a statement like this one: “You“re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it“s not
49、true. “It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful. Can shyness be completely got rid of, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determination. It is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths, for example, not fair for them to label themselves inferior because they have to be realistic. Living on the impossible leads to absence of inferiorit
