A large number of U. S. presidents had experiences in the army. The two best known were Ulysses Grant and Dwight D. Eisenhower. Grant was a general (将军) in the American Civil War and Eisenhower was a hero in the Second World War. It happened that they graduated from the same school—West Point Military Academy . One may be surprised to learn that both of them did not do well in the school. Eisenhower, for example, was once fined (罚款) because he broke the rules of the school.
The jobs of U. S. presidents are tiring. He must keep an eye on anything important which happens both at home and abroad. Every day, a lot of work waits for him to do, and he has to make many important decisions. When Franklin Roosevelt was a child, he was once brought to visit President Taft. The old president said to him, “When you grow up, you should not be president. It’s a tiring job.”

试题【Many American presidents in the 19th century were born in poor families. They sp】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
India is a developing country. It has thousands of years of tradition and culture. Different types of people live in India. In the old days the educational institutions (教育机构) were called "ashramam" and teachers were "gurus". A guru was a respected person in society.
Now we are living in the technological world. Big changes are occurring in people’s living. The influence of television, telephone, radio, computer, Internet and mobile phones is very strong in everyday life. But even today, teachers are role models for students. Teaching is still a respectable job. But there are great changes in the education system.
One of the most obvious changes is that the influence of Western culture has increased. We are paying too much attention to doing business, just like the Western world. Teachers are likely to be influenced by this too, but it is not good. Teachers are nation builders. The development of any country depends upon its education system. All types of development are possible through education.
Another change has happened in the curriculum. The curriculum connects the teacher and the student. While education is about learning, curriculum means the situations in which one learns. When we say that education deals with "what", then curriculum deals with "how" and "when". But at the moment, it is hard to say whether the curriculum is playing such a role.
小题1:
In India, an ashramam was _________.
A.a teacher who was respected by people
B.a person who worked for the government
C.a place where students were taught
D.a place where tradition and culture developed
小题2:Which of the following is NOT a reason to change people’s lives in India?
A.TV. B.Computer. C.Mobile phones. D.Tradition.
小题3:In modern society, teaching is considered as a job that __________.
A.is respected B.brings good luck
C.is hopeless D.connects with the fashion
小题4:What is the author’s attitude towards educational change in India?
A.He likes it. B.He is annoyed at it.
C.He is indifferent (冷漠的)to it.
D.He is worried about it.
Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.
On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, first-class roads, and other support facilities(设施) needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class tourist hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.
Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers(阴沟) to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.
小题1:Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before the passage?
A.It is not important to develop tourism. |
B.Building roads and hotels is important. |
C.Support facilities are highly necessary. |
D.Planning is of great importance to tourism. |
A.a bad effect on other industries |
B.a change of the customs of the country |
C.air and water pollution |
D.pressure on traffic |
A.the fact that some people may be out of work |
B.an increase in tourist attractions |
C.the higher cost of support facilities |
D.a rise in price and a fall in pay |
A.carry away | B.pick up | C.get in | D.take down |
One of the first things the common man wants to know about is the part inspiration plays in a composer’s work. He finds it difficult to believe that composers are not much interested in that question. Writing music is as natural for the composer as eating or sleeping for all. Music is something that the composer happens to have been born for.
The composer, therefore, does not say to himself: “Do I feel inspired?” He says to himself: “Do I feel like working today?” And if he feels like working, he does. It is more or less like saying to himself: “Do I feel sleepy?” If you feel sleepy, you go to sleep. If you don’t feel sleepy, you stay up. If the composer doesn’t feel like working, he doesn’t work. It’s as simple as that.
小题1:What would be the best title for the text?
A.Composer: a man of mystery |
B.Practice makes good music |
C.Relation between sleeping and music |
D.Music: product of nature |
A.finds it difficult to write music |
B.considers it important to have a good rest |
C.should like to talk about inspiration |
D.never asks himself very simple questions |
A.are born with a gift for music |
B.are people full of mystery |
C.work late at night for their music |
D.know a lot about eating and sleeping |
These changes in outlook deeply affected the musical culture of the Renaissance period—how people thought about music as well as the way music was composed,experienced,discussed,and circulated. They could see the architectural monuments,sculptures(雕塑),plays,and poems that were being rediscovered,but they could not actually hear ancient music—although they could read the writings of classical philosophers,poets,essayists,and music theorists that were becoming available in translation. They learned about the power of ancient music to move the listener and wondered why modern music did not have the same effect. For example,the influential religious leader Bernardino Cirillo expressed disappointment with the learned music of his time. He urged musicians to follow the example of the sculptors,painters,architects,and scholars who had rediscovered ancient art and literature.
The musical Renaissance in Europe was more a general cultural movement and state of mind than a specific set of musical techniques. Furthermore,music changed so rapidly during this century and a half—though at different rates in different countries—that we cannot define a single Renaissance style.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
A.The musical compositions that best illustrate the developments during the European Renaissance. |
B.The musical techniques that were in use during the European Renaissance. |
C.The European Renaissance as a cultural development that included changes in musical style. |
D.The ancient Greek and Roman musical practices used during the European Renaissance. |
A.1855 |
B.the period of the Renaissance |
C.the time of the classical civilizations of Greece and Rome |
D.the time at which the author wrote the passage |
A.spirituality in everyday life |
B.communication among artists across Europe |
C.a cultural emphasis on human values |
D.religious themes in art that would accompany the traditional secular themes |
A.Its effect on listeners was described in a number of classical texts. |
B.It was played on instruments that are familiar to modern audiences. |
C.It expressed more different ideals than classical sculpture,painting and poetry. |
D.It had the same effect on Renaissance audiences as it had when originally performed. |
A.It did not contain enough religious themes. |
B.It had little emotional impact on audiences. |
C.It was not complex enough to appeal to musicians. |
D.It was too dependent on the art and literature of his time. |
The cover was the only part of the book Steve Jobs wanted to control, writes Isaacson in his introduction. Though Mr. Jobs pushed the biographer of Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin to write in his own way, generously allowing the writer more than 40 interviews, this book offers quite a different view of Mr. Jobs, who won much praise from his fans after his death on October 5th at the age of 56.
As a biographer of Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin, Mr. Isaacson knows how to celebrate long-dead genius, but he claimed that "Steve Jobs" would not be entirely praiseful words. The picture he paints, particularly in the first half of this book, is not nice. Mr. Jobs emerges as a controlling and often cold-blooded character. A child of the 1960s counter-culture (反主流文化), he hated, materialism and lived in simply furnished houses ( in part because he was too particular about furniture). But when Apple went public in 1980, he refused to give any share to Daniel Kottke, a Iongtime supporter and soul mate from college. "He has to abandon the people he is close to," observes Andy Hertzfeld, an early Apple engineer.
Mr. Jobs was undoubtedly possessing an extraordinary ability to attract others and inspire a kind of faith that could not be questioned. But also he could be cold and cruel. If he disapproved of an employee"s work, he often shamed him. "This is who I am," he once said after being challenged,"and you can"t expect me to be someone I"m not. " This disgusting personality wasn"t always helpful,but it served a purpose, writes Mr. Isaacson, many would "end their chain of horror stories by saying that he got them to do things they never dreamed possible. "
Mr. Isaacson treats "Steve Jobs" as the biography of record, which means that it is a strange book to read so soon after its subject"s death.
小题1:The biography for Jobs is believed to have the perfect design because __
A.it follows Jobs" style |
B.its cover is entirely white |
C.black and white are his favorite . |
D.it is designed by a famous biographer |
①cruel ②humorous ③particular ④generous
A.①③ | B.②③ | C.①④ | D.③④ |
A.Jobs is highly spoken of in the book |
B.Isaacson doesn"t think Jobs a good man |
C.Jobs didn"t care about the design of the book |
D.all descriptions of Jobs are not nice in the book |
A.a personal diary | B.a book review | C.a news report | D.a TV interview |
