1、Castles were brought to Britain by William the Conqueror, when he invaded England in 1066 from his homeland in France. One of the most powerful ways for William to take control of his new kingdom, which included England, Scotland and Wales, was to have castles built throughout the land. At first, he ordered the construction of very simple castles, called motte and bailey castles.
These early castles consisted of an earthen mound, topped by a tower built of wood. The bailey was a large area of land enclosed by a shorter fence. Inside the bailey were the main activities of the castle, such as workshops, stables and livestock, household activities, etc., while the tower on the motte was used as the lord's residence and as an observation post. Before long, the earthen castles were replaced by the stone castles, which were much sturdier, did not rot like wood, and also were much more able to withstand any attack by an invader.
From the 11th to 13th centuries the stone castles were booming. They were not just used by the king. Most castles, in fact, were granted by a king to their most loyal knights or barons who fought bravely in battle and supported their king. The king, starting with William the Conqueror, gave his loyal knights vast estates and permission to build castles. In return, he expected these men to control their lands as the king's representative, to keep the local population from rebelling, and to force them to work and pay rent to the lord, who then passed it onto the king. These knights and barons built castles almost everywhere in Britain, served to strike fear into the local peoples, and to symbolize their power and wealth.
By the 15th century the stone castles began declining. For the one thing, military necessity changed in Great Britain. There was less emphasis placed on defense and more on comfort. Earlier stone houses were gradually modified, or abandoned completely and replaced by great houses of a richer and more relaxed style. The development of firearms and the increasing use of gunpowder, for the other one, also ended the castles' endurance.
Despite their decline, many wealthy families of the 18th and 19th centuries fed their passions by naming their newly built houses, "castle." This ill-informed romanticism had its valuable side, which eventually led to concerted efforts to preserve and restore many ruined castles.
Even today, centuries after they were active in British history, the castles of Britain have established themselves firmly in the national and international mindset. Castles have demonstrated not only the exchanges of the majesty, power and wealth of their noble builders, but also the rise and set of British Empire.

2、 In the past, operations were difficult. Until the middle of the eighteen fifties, surgery was very dangerous. Many patients died after even the smallest operations. This was because bacteria entered the cuts in the patients' bodies and started infection. In some countries, up to 90 percent of patients died from infection after operations. In 1865, however, Joseph Lister, a British surgeon, found an answer to the problem. He used an "antiseptic"（消毒剂）during and after operations. This killed the dangerous bacteria and most of his patients lived. Since then, surgeons have used antiseptics in all operations. Surgery has developed in many important ways since the day of Joseph Lister. Today, when patients go to hospital for an operation, they can expect the best treatment, in clean and hygienic（消毒，卫生的）conditions.

2、Remember global warming? Back in December, the threat of climate change was thundering and the rich countries agreed to cut their carbon-dioxide and other green-house-related emissions. Since then, interest has cooled markedly, and many European countries are already running away from the promises they made so loudly a few months ago. But there has been much talk, and a bit of action, to encourage renewable energies such as wind, hydro, solar and all living organisms. These emit no greenhouse gases, but tend to cost more than coal, oil or gas.
The better, simpler idea is to remember that the easiest way to reduce something is to tax it - in this case, by taxing the carbon content power. The dirtier the power, the more tax it would pay. So dirty coal would be more expensive than clean coal, which would see its price rise in relation to oil, which would be more expensive compared with gas, which would lose some of its price advantage over renewables.
Unless a carbon tax was so huge as to be economically crippling, it would not remove the price differential between all renewables and fossil fuels. But it would narrow that gap, by fixing the differing environmental costs into the price - a useful principle in itself. It would also give renewable producers a strong incentive to cut costs, and fossil-fuel suppliers the motivation to clean their
Precedents suggest strongly that a carbon tax would be effective. But the disadvantage to carbon tax is political. After almost a decade of trying, the European Union gave up an attempt at a European carbon tax last year. Germany's ruling coalition is fighting against a proposed energy tax. In America, politicians believe that even mentioning the notion is certain death. But many of the political objections could be met if a carbon tax were made up for the loss elsewhere, for example by lowering payroll or sales taxes. There is always suspicion when governments come up with clever new ways to tax, and rightly so. The response to that suspicion should be to win the argument, not to abandon it.
(1)、According to the passage, the easiest way to remove global warming is ___________.
A：to encourage people to use renewable energies
B：to cut down the cost of wind, hydro, solar and all living organisms
C：to force people to pay more tax for the carbon content of power
D：to talk less but act more
答案： C
(2)、The standard of paying tax was _________.
A：that the more carbon content of power it contained, the higher tax one would pay
B：that oil would be more expensive than clean coal
C：that renewables would be most expensive of all
D：in the order that renewables are the most expensive while clean coal the cheapest
答案： A
(3)、We can infer from the passage that carbon tax ___________.
A：may not be as effective as people expect
B：has encouraged renewable producers to cut costs
C：has reduced consumption of the carbon content energy successfully
D：couldn't be that effective if fossil fuels would not be forbidden
答案： A
(4)、The word"crippling"(Para. 3) most probably means _________.
A：greatly increasing
B：seriously weakening
C：sharply declining
D：abruptly halting
答案： B
(5)、The reason why many countries stopped introducing carbon tax eventually was mainly that
___________.
A：governments had tried to put it into effect for many years but with no obvious result
B：if one country made up the loss by paying the carbon tax, other countries would follow it C：governments were afraid of being suspected if they adopted the new tax
D：governments had been discussing what to do with carbon tax for a long time, but they hadn't come to an agreement

1、Since World War II, there has been a clearly discernible trend, especially among the growing group of college students, toward early marriage. Many youths begin dating in the first stages of adolescence, "go steady"through high school, and marry before their formal education has been completed. However, emotional maturity is no respecter of birthdays; it does not arrive automatically at twenty-one or twenty-five. Some achieve it surprisingly early, while others never do, even in three-score years and ten.
Many students are marrying as an escape, not only from an unsatisfying home life, but also from their own personal problems of isolation and loneliness. And it can almost be put down as a dictum that any marriage seldom solves one's problems, more often, it merely makes them worse. Furthermore, it is doubtful whether the home is an institution that is capable of carrying all that the young are seeking to put into it. Young people correctly understand that their parents are wrong in believing that "success" is the ultimate good, but they erroneously believe that they themselves have found the true center of life's meaning. Their expectations of marriage are essentially utopian and therefore incapable of fulfillment. They want too much, and disappointments are often bound to follow.
Shall we, then, join the chorus of "Miseries" over early marriage? One cannot generalize: all early marriages are not bad any more than all later ones are good. Satisfactory marriages are determined not by time, but by the emotional maturity of the partners. Therefore, each case must be judged on its own merits. If the early marriage is not an escape, if it is entered into with relatively few illusions or false expectations, and if it is economically feasible, why not? Good marriages can be made from sixteen to sixty, and so are bad ones.
(1)、According to this article the trend toward early marriages __________.
A：was the result of the Great Depression of the 1930's
B：could not be easily determined
C：is one that could be clearly seen
D：is a result of the emotional maturity of the young
答案： C
(2)、The author suggests that many of today's early marriages are a result of __________.
A：escapism
B：theological dictum
C：lack of formal education
D：convenience
答案： A
(3)、More often than not, early marriage will __________.
A：not affect one's problems
B：solve a person's problems
C：intensify one's problems
D：ease one's problems
答案： C
(4)、The author states that the home as an institution is __________.
A：overrated
B：unworthy of worship
C：a god who can grant everything that you wish for
D：probably not capable of being what many young people expect it to be
答案： D
(5)、 Many young people who marry early believe that __________.
A：their parents have found the true meaning of life
B：they have found the true center of life's meaning
C："success"is the ultimate good
D：to succeed is not at all important
答案： B

1、Imagine your sitting on your front garden admiring the shining sun when your neighbor comes with that annoying car with the noisy sound and the exhaust pipe blowing out this horrible black smoke. What are you going to do about it?
In our modern days, too many people depend on their cars to get to work or to drop off their children to school. However, is it safe to have an increasing number of cars on our roads?
Research shows that cars create serious pollution. Exhaust from all combustion engines produces harmful effects on the health of both car users and all innocent walkers. Cities have become islands of toxic chemicals from the unrestrained use of vehicles burning fossil fuels. The harmful health effects of car exhaust are pervasive and difficult to measure. For example, people with asthma would suffer with attacks due to the pollution. The world wild life also suffers from the cars' toxic emissions. No matter how much manufacturers try to make cars environmentally friendly, it will damage our earth in one way or another.
Additionally, cars are too dangerous for our community. Careless drivers put themselves and others in danger. Cars are critical to walkers especially to children if the driver is not looking on the road or somehow distracted. Have you known someone whose toes or feet have been run over by cars while crossing the street?
Lastly, cars create social problems, which could lead to poor health. A few drivers suffer "Road Rage"and put themselves, loved ones and others in a threatening situation. Some cars create disturbing noises, which disturbs people living near highways, freeways, etc. not to get enough sleep. People depend on their cars so much they forget to exercise their bodies and end up being obese or having a heart problem.
As a result of the excessive number of cars on our roads, everyone's life is in danger. In order to create an environmentally friendly and safe world, it is necessary for each country to limit the permits in number to control regional air pollution. Second, car manufacturers should try to improve the efficiency of vehicles, such as finding solutions to emissions of combustion engines, developing new power sources such as new fuels, natural gas. Third, try to improve efficiency of traffic by setting up dedicated bus lanes and giving priority to car-pools and vehicles with 3 or more passengers. Besides, traffic can be scheduled; for example, commercial traffic at night; large companies can shift working hours and decentralize administrative operations.

2、There's a great story about an old Finnish woman who, without quite realizing it, was using her cell-phone to access the Internet and track her city's public transit system. When asked why she used the wireless Internet so frequently, she replied, "What are you talking about? I don't know anything about this wireless Internet stuff. I just know the bus is here."
Regardless of whether you want to admit it, a lot of us are like that old Finnish woman. When it comes to new mobile applications, many of us do not realize the capability and power that we hold, literally, in our hands.
What we are looking at today is the mobile Internet in its infancy. Now that using the Internet from home or work has saturated much of society, the next logical step is to be able to use the Net when you are far away from your desktop or laptop. Speech recognition is one way to do this, and there are a number of services, collectively called the "voice Web", that will make this possible. All you do is to use a phone or wireless device to call a phone number, and speak commands to an intuitive system. It will then give you the information you're seeking, using either a synthesized voice or an audio file.
In the United States and Europe, the hot technology for wireless devices is called W AP (Wireless Application Protocol), which is being considered as the world standard. WAP is supported

In the United States a university professor is given a few months of freedom from his duties about every seventh year for travel or advanced study. This period of freedom from teaching is called a “study or research leave”. Its purpose is to give the professor experiences which will make him a wiser person and a better teacher when he returns to his university. Few study leaves are interesting enough to be described in national newspapers and magazines. Recently, however, there was an exception. The public learned how Dr. John R. Coleman, president of Haverford College, had spent his study leave. At the age of 51, Dr. Coleman was determined to escape from university life for a few months and to get a variety of experiences in the world of work. He especially wanted to learn about people. People who do hard physical labor were especially interesting to him. “I wanted to get away from the world of words and political matters and parties – the things a president does,” Dr. Coleman later explained to news writers. “As a college president you begin to take yourself very seriously and to think you have power you don't. You forget things about people. I wanted to relearn things I’d forgotten.” Telling no on e of his plans, Dr. Coleman started his study leave on a farm in Canada, hundreds of miles from his college. Getting up at 4:30 each morning, working thirteen hours a day in fields, he prepared himself physically for his next job, digging ditches in Atlanta, GeorgiA、 After that, the college president washed dishes ina Boston restaurant. During the last ten days of his leave, he worked as a garbage collector. 1. The first paragraph is mainly about _______________. A、why a professor should be free from his duties every seventh year B、how professors spend their study leave C、what a study leave is and its purpose D、how a study leave makes a professor a wiser person and a better teacher 2. A study leave is a period of freedom from duties allowed to a university teacher who has taught ________ since his last leave. A、for six years B、for seven years C、for a term D、for a university year 3. People learned about Dr. Coleman's unusual experiences from ________. A、his colleagues B、the boss of a Boston restaurant C、the Canadian newspapers and magazines D、the U.S. newspapers and magazines 4. Dr. Coleman carried out his study leave in an unusual way because ________. A、he hates his university life, especially his job as a president B、he wanted to learn about people, especially people who do hard physical labor
