14、g letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. 15 The agriculture revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things: the invention of labor-saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture. Labor-saving naturally appeared first where labor was rare. “In Euro

15、pe“, said Thomas Jefferson, “ the object is to make the most of their land, labor being sufficient: here it is to make the most of our labor, land being abundant. “ It was in America, therefore, that the great advances in nineteenth-century agricultural machinery first came. At the opening of the ce

16、ntury, with the exception of a crude(粗糙的 )plow, farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural tools on their backs. By 1860, most of the machinery in use today had been designed in an early form. The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow. As early as 1890

17、 Charles Newbolt of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention. The farmers, however, would bring home none of it, claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and made the weeds grow. Nevertheless, many people devoted their atte

18、ntion to the plow, until in 1869, James Oliver of South Bend, Indiana, turned out the first chilled steel plow. 16 The word “here“ refers to_. （ A） Europe （ B） America （ C） New Jersey （ D） Indiana 17 Which of the following statement is NOT true? （ A） The need for labor helped the invention of machin

22、in Ghana the educated and illiterate, the urban and rural, the young and old work to earn an income in addition to maintaining their roles as housewives and mothers. Their reputation for economic independence, self-reliance, and hard work is well known and well deserved. Most of Ghanas working women

23、 are farmers and traders. Only one woman in five, or even fewer, can be classified as simply housewives. Even these women often earn money by sewing or by baking and cooking things to sell. They also maintain vegetable gardens and chicken farms. Indeed, the woman who depends entirely upon her husban

24、d for support is looked upon with disfavor. Traditionally the tasks of motherhood have been shared. Mothers and sisters, grandmothers and nieces all helped to raise the children and to carry out daily tasks. As the family grew, older brothers and sisters also helped to care for the younger ones and

25、helped in the home.

30、 fighting a war against water. Their main enemy is the sea. A large part of the country is below sea level. In fact, Holland is also called the “Netherlands“ which means “low land. “ Very tall and strong walls, called dykes, have built to keep out the sea. But in very rough weather the sea may sudde

31、nly burst through a dyke. Great damage can be caused by floods when this happens. Three large rivers are also part of the problem. They flow through Holland into the North Sea. They have cut many passages across the country. At low tides, the rivers flow into the sea as usual. But at high tide, the

32、sea can flow into the rivers! This is because the land is so low. The battles against the water never end, but they have made Holland a bigger and bigger country. In order to prevent floods, the engineers take, or reclaim, land that was under water. The Dutch have been reclaiming land for seven hund

33、red years. Land is usually reclaimed from a passage between islands. Two dykes are built across the passage, so they block the water between them. Then the engineers dig long canals and pump the water into them. At low tide, the canals empty the water into the sea. Because the land is so low, water

34、from the sea and rivers can rise up through the ground. For this reason, the pumps continue working. The dykes contain gates, and through these the water is pumped out. In many parts of Holland, pumps must be working all the time. If they stopped, there will be very bad floods. A piece of reclaimed

35、land is called polder, and Holland has thousands of polders. Some are very large, but others are quite small. There are farms on many of the polders. Corn and other crops grow well on the drained land, and it gives good grass for cattle. Many small towns and villages stand on polders. Even Amsterdam

Yes, She. Only the female mosquito bites. Its not because shes unfriendly: she needs blood to reproduce. The f

41、emale mosquito is quite selective, and she chooses her victims carefully. First, she uses sensors to find her victim. With these sensors, she tests your body moisture, body warmth, and chemical substances in your sweat. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if you dont appeal to her, she11 rej

If the mosquito likes you, she settles onto your flesh very gently, and she breaks your skin with her proboscis tip. Its a kind of mouth and it sticks out just below the mosqui
