His mother and father were of Puritan(清教徒) religion. They left England and moved to the English colony of Massachusetts in order to escape persecution(迫害) for his father for two years. Then he went to work on his brother's newspaper. He became the editor of this paper when he was sixteen. Because he wanted to be independent,he went to Philadelphia.

To his almanac, Franklin added wise saying, his observations about life, some of these saying are still famous today.

People have often worked together to collect and save the world’s art treasures.Fine art treasures from many countries are kept in an art museum called the Louvre in Paris, France. The works of art have been collected by the people of France over many centuries. It is the biggest art museum in the world.The Louvre has not always been a museum. The first building was a castle. In 1190, it was the king’s castle with high walls and a round tower. It had a river to keep out the enemies.Over the years, the number of the buildings around the castle grew. By 1350, the castle no longer needed to be extended. The Louvre became a palace home for French kings and queens.During times of peace, new treasures were brought in. During the days of war, many treasures were stolen, and the buildings were damaged.When Francis I became king of France in 1515, he brought in many artists from other countries. One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy. Do Vinci’s “Mona Lisa” is the best-known painting in the museum today.In 1793, the Louvre became a public museum, just as it is now.

Since 1350.C. in 1515.D. in 1793. Passage 4A student who enters a university in the second half of the 20th century is in a new situation. He is not like the young man of the early 19th century who came to sit at the feet of the masters and left as a master. That situation no longer exists, because now it is not only the student who changes. He may grow fast, but science grows still faster.The young German philosopher Hegel, writing at the beginning of the 19th century, believed that one man’s mind could contain all the knowledge of his times. At that time it was perfectly possible for a man to hold such a belief and to base his life on it. Hegel’s friend, Goethe wrote a famous poem about a young man who hoped to translate this purpose into reality. The young man in the poem was called Faust. But Hegel’s situation was slightly different from Faust’s, because Faust, the hero of the poem, had the devil to help him, while Hegel had only his professors. Today a very different situation exists, a situation in which the professors and the devil have lost most of their power. Today a student can’t master knowledge; he can only be its servant. He knows that he can become familiar only with a small corner of knowledge, and that his learing will always be imperfect and incomplete. But he can still hope to add something to the sum of knowledge, and so make the situation slightly more difficult for those who come after him.15. The poem about Faust is mentioned to tell usA. he was a young manB. he got the devil’s helpC. the situation was slightly more difficult for those who came after himD. today’s learing situation is much different from that in the past16. A student of the 20th century is faced with a new situation becauseA. he has to learn entirely on his ownB. he can never be a master nowC. science grows very fastD. he is changing all the time17. Today a student know thatA. his knowledge is often incorrectB. he can’t learn more than the students in the 19th century didC. those who come after him will have greater difficulties in learningD. his knowledge is very limited compared with the total amount18. The best title for this passage might beA. Hegel, the Great German PhilosopherB. The Learing Situation in the Modern UniversityC. How to Study at a Modern UniversityD. The Rapid Development of science19. According to the passage, we know that Hegel is .A. PhilosopherB. ArtistC. PhysicistD. Scientists Passage 5During a television play the sound man must be ready to make every sound as it is needed. Sound effects are of three kinds: real, imitated and recorded.Real sounds are those of doorbells, telephone bells, and other small objects easy to keep in a studio. But the sound man must imitate many sounds. For bacon frying, he crumples cellophane paper. A long sheet of metal hanging in a doorway makes thunder. He taps one rubber sink plunger and then another on a table to imitate a horse walking on pavement. For a horse galloping along a gravel road, the sound man can use the two halves of a coconut, pounding each in turn very fast on the table.Recorded sound effects are used for noises he can't himself produce offstage. He pays records for such sounds as a rooster crowing, a train leaving a station, and a baby crying.The sound man is an important part of any television production.20. The sound man is important because he .A.is kept busyB.makes a TV play more lifelikeC.lets an actor know when to life a telephone receiverD.is always learning new methods21. The examples given for the first kind are .A.whistles and sirensB.doorbells and telephone bellsC.church bells and telephonr bellsD.typewriters and cash registers22. The metal sheet used to imitate thunder must be .A. tightly fastened on all sidesB. lying flatC. both A and BD. neither A nor B23. The examples given for the second kind are .A.bacon fryingB.doorbellsC.telephone bellsD.a baby crying24. Recorded sound effects are used for a .A. train leaving a stationB. baby cryingC. rooster crowingD. all of the abovePassage 6Concern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are working than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops, and factories are discovering the greater efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunch-rooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever-increasing output. Thus the "typical" Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than the people of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comforts and ease of life. What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality.Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of the technological society and its consumer products. The so-called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that "assembly-line" will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely ( but less productive) old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life - to joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local cafe? Since the 1950's life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gains. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of this competitive culture. Occasionally, they have reacted against the trend with considerable violence. 25. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a feature of the new French way of life?A. Efficiency.B. Competition.C. Tension.D. Taste.26. Which of the following might be a typical style of the old French life?A. Eating in a fast-food restaurantB. Travelling here and there by air.C. Going to the park on weekendsD. Spending holidays in a luxury hotel.27. Some of the young people in France criticize the new way of life because________.A. they themselves are not competent enough to adapt to the competitive societyB. they are more conservativeC. they fear the consequence of the new way of lifeD. they have no material pursuit28. The passage implies that __________.A. the French no longer like the new way of life.B. the French are losing something in pursuing material gainsC. the French are producing more but consuming less nowadaysD. the French prefer the old life style to the new onePartIV.
