Then there are the various commodities, ranging from jewelry and clothes to cosmetics and washing powder, that take advantage of the promotion opportunities. Because of this, Jarvis

21、 spent the last 40 years of her life trying to stop Mother s Day.

29、for the job. For middle and higher management, a special method is used to evaluate managers on their knowledge of the job, their responsibility, and their【 C11】 _to solve problems.

33、rn about 1742 to African American parents who were slaves. At the age of six months she was acquired, along with her sister, by John Ashley, a wealthy Massachusetts slaveholders. She became known as “Mumbet“ or “Mum Bett“. For nearly 30 years Mumbet served the Ashley family. One day, Ashley s wife t

34、ried to strike Mumbets sister with a spade. Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead. Furious, she left the house and refused to come back. When the Ashleys tried to make her return, Mumbet consulted a lawyer, Theodore Sedgewick. With his help, Mumbet sued for her freedom. While serving

35、 the Ashleys, Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution. If the constitution said that all people were free and equal, then she thought it should apply to her. Eventually, Mumbet won her freedom the first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution.

36、 Strangely enough, after the trial, the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee. She declined and instead went to work for Sedgewick. Mumbet died in 1829, but her legacy lived on in her many descendants. One of her great-grandchildren was W. E. B. Du Bbis, one of the f

37、ounders of the NAACP, and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights. Mumbet s tombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried. It reads, in part: “ She was born a slave and remained a slave for nearly thirty years. She could neither read nor wri

38、te, yet in her own sphere she had no superior or equal. “ 41 What do we know about Mumbet according to Paragraph 1? （ A） She was born a slave. （ B） She was a slaveholder. （ C） She had a famous sister. （ D） She was born in a rich family. 42 Why did Mumbet run away from the Ashleys? （ A） She found an

39、employer. （ B） She was hit and got angry. （ C） She wanted to be a lawyer. （ D） She had to take care of her sister. 43 What did Mumbet learn from discussions about the new constitution? （ A） How to apply for a job. （ B） How to be a good servant. （ C） She should always obey her owners orders. （ D） She

40、 should be as free and equal as whites. 44 What did Mumbet do after the trial? （ A） She founded the NAACP. （ B） She chose to work for a lawyer. （ C） She continued to serve the Ashleys. （ D） She went to live with her grandchildren. 45 What is the text mainly about? （ A） A story of a famous writer and

41、 spokesperson. （ B） The friendship between a lawyer and a slave. （ C） The life of a brave African American woman. （ D） A trial that shocked the whole world. 45 “ We are not about to enter the Information Age, but instead are rather well into it. “ Present predictions are that by 1990, about thirty m

42、illion jobs in the United States, or about thirty percent of the job market, will be computer-related. In 1980, only twenty-one percent of all American high schools owned one or two computers for student use. In the fall of 1985, a new study showed that half of United States secondary schools have f

43、ifteen or more computers for student use. And now educational experts , administrators, and even the general public are demanding that all students become “ computer-literate“. By the year 2000 knowledge of computers will be necessary in over eighty percent of all occupations. Soon those people not

44、educated in computer use will be compared to those who are print-illiterate today. What is “computer literacy“? The term itself seems to imply some degree of “knowing“ about computers, but knowing what? The present opinion seems to be that this should include a general knowledge, of what computers a

45、re, plus a little of their history and something of how they operate. Therefore, it is important that educators everywhere take a careful look not only at what is being done, but also at what should be done in the field of computer education. Today most adults are able to use a motor car without the

46、 slightest knowledge of how the internal combustion engine works. We effectively use all types of electrical equipment without being able to tell their histories or to explain how they work. Business people for years have made good use of typewriters and adding machines, yet few have ever known how

47、to repair them. Why, then, attempt to teach computers by teaching how or why they work? Rather, we first must fix our mind on teaching the effective use of the computer as the tool is. “ Knowing how to use a computer is what s going to be important. We don t talk about automobile literacy. We just g

48、et in our cars and drive them. “ 46 In 1990, the number of jobs having nothing to do with computers in the United States will be reduced to? （ A） 30 million. （ B） 70 million. （ C） 79 million. （ D） 100 million. 47 The underlined part “print-illiterate“ in the text refers to_. （ A） one who has never l

49、earnt to read （ B） one who has never learnt to read （ C） one who is not a computer literate （ D） one who is not able to use a typewriter 48 What is the first paragraph mainly about? （ A） The wide of computers in schools. （ B） Public interest in computers. （ C） The urgency of computers education. （ D） Recent predictions of computer-related jobs. 49 According to the author, the effective way to spread the use of computers
