Throughthe years, this gateway to the new world was enlarged from its5original 3.3 acres to 27.5 acres by landfill supposedly obtained fromthe ballast of ships, excess earth from the construction of the NewYork City subway system and elsewhere.Before being designated as the site of one of the first Federal immigration station by President Benjamin Harrison in 1890, Ellis10Island had a varied history. The local Indian tribes had called it"Kioshk" or Gull Island. Due to its rich and abundant oyster beds andplentiful and profitable shad runs, it was known as Oyster Island formany generations during the Dutch and English colonial periods. Bythe time Samuel Ellis became the island's private owner in the 1770's,15the island had been called Kioshk, Oyster, Dyre, Bucking andAnderson's Island.

One cannot wonderthat so very fine a young man, with family, fortune, everything in hisfavour, should think highly of himself. If I may so express it, he has aright to be proud.”5“That is very true,” replied Elizabeth, “and I could easily forgivehis pride, if he had not mortified mine.""Pride,” observed Mary, who piqued herself upon the solidity ofher reflecti ons, “is a very common failing I believe. By all that I haveever read, I am convinced that it is very common indeed, that human10nature is particularly prone to it, and that there are very few of uswho do not cherish a feeling of self-complacency on the score of somequality or other, real or imaginary.

It brought the Great Depression to an end and marked the beginning of significant social and political changes for women and racial minorities. Chinese American women played an important role in these long-term changes. Encouraged by motives ranging from Chinese nationalism to American patriotism, Chinese American women initiated an outpouring of highly organized activities in such areas as fund-raising, propaganda, civil defense, and Red Cross work.

This passage is most likely found in a(n)(A) novel written in World War two(B) textbook on American history(C) letter to a beloved family member(D) autobiography of a famous person(E) editorial in a newspaper in 1940s第二题Geologists Harris and Gass hypothesized that the Red Sea rift developed along the line of a split (a splice in the Earth’s crust), and that significant observable differences in the composition of the upper layers of rocks deposited on either side of the split give clues to the different natures of the underlying igneous rocks.Other geologists argued that neither the upper rock layer nor the underlying igneous rocks on the one side of the rift differ fundamentally from the layers on the other side. These geologists believe,therefore, that there is inadequate evidence to conclude that a split underlies the rift. In response,Harris and Gass asserted that the upper rock layers on the two sides of the rift had not been shown to be of similar age, structure, or geochemical content. Furthermore, they cited new evidence that the underlying igneous rocks on either side of the rift contain significantly different kinds of rare metals.1. Which of the following has been observed according to the passage?I. the origin of the Red Sea riftII. the difference existed on underlying rocks on either sidesIII. the difference existed on upper rocks on either sidesIV. the split underlying the Red Sea riftA) I onlyB) II onlyC) III onlyD) II and III onlyE) III and IV only2. According to the passage, the most powerful evidence supporting Harris and Gass’s hypothesis would beA) the fact that rifts grow along with splits have been observed elsewhereB) the fact that rifts grow on Earth’s crust have been observed elsewhereC) the fact that upper rock gives indications on underlying rock have been observed elsewhereD) the upper rock on either side of the Red Sea rift are totally unlikeE) the underlying rock on either side of the Red Sea rift are totally unlike3.Those who disagree with Harris and Gass’s hypothesis in this passage challenge theA) validity of its evidenceB) strictness of its reasoningC) sufficiency of its proofD) rightness of its motivationE) feasibility of its practice4. It can be inferred from the passage that Harris and Gass have done which of the following?(A) Drawn detailed maps of the Red Sea rift.(B) Based conclusions on how splits develop in the Earth’s crust.(C) Rejected other geologists’ objections to their hypothesis.(D) Suggested the presence of rare metals in rocks indicates a split.(E) Asserted that rifts usually occur along the lines of splits.5. According to the passage, Harris and Gass have mentioned all of the following properties of rocks along the Red Sea rift EXCEPT:(A) age of the upper layers of rock(B) age of the underlying igneous rocks(C) structure of the upper layers of rocks(D) geochemical content of the upper layers of rocks(E) metallic content of the underlying igneous rocks6. This passage is most likely to be found on a(n)A) memoir of a famous scientistB) guidebook on the Red Sea regionC) textbook on rare metalsD) summary of a business meetingE) review of a latest geological progress。
