Passage One
A rapid means of long-distance transportation became a necessity for the United States as settlement(新拓居地) spread over farther westward. The early trains were impractical curiosities, and for a long time the railroad companies met with troublesome mechanical problems. The most serious ones were the construction of rails able to bear the load, and the development of a safe, effective stopping system. Once these were solved, the railroad was established as the best means of land transportation. By 1860 there were thousands of miles of railroads crossing the eastern mountain ranges and reaching westward to the Mississippi. There were also regional southern and western lines.
The high point in railroad building came with the construction of the first transcontinental system. In 1862 congress authorized two western railroad companies to build lines from Nebraska westward and from California eastward to a meeting point, so as to complete a transcontinental crossing linking the Atlantic seaboard with the Pacific. The Government helped the railroads generously with money and land. Actual work on this project began four years later. The Central Pacific Company, starting from California, used Chinese labor, while the Union Pacific employed crews of Irish labourers. The two groups worked at remarkable speed, each trying to cover a greater distance than the other. In 1869 they met at a place called Promontory in what is now the state of Utah. Many visitors came there for the great occasion. There were joyous celebrations all over the country, with parades and the ringing of church bells to honour the great achievement.
The railroad was very important in encouraging westward movement. It also helped build up industry and farming by moving raw materials and by distributing products rapidly to distant markets. In linking towns and people to one another it helped unify the United States.
31.The major problems with America’s railroad system in the mid-19th century lay in .
A.poor quality rails and unreliable stopping systems
B.lack of financial support for development
C.limited railroad lines

A.9 years B.7 years C.4 years D.3 years

B.The need to explore Utah.
C.The need to connect the east coast with the west.
D.The need to develop the railroad industry in the west.
Passage Two
Thousands of years ago, in the middle of an ocean, miles from the nearest island, an undersea volcano(火山) broke out. The hot liquid rock piled higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, an island rose up in the sea.
As time went on, hot sun and cool rains made the rock split and break to pieces.Sea waves dashed against the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being.
Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds, spiders and other little creatures there. Only plants could grow first. Only they, in sunlight, could produce food from the minerals of the soil, water and air. While many animals landed on the island, they could find no food. A spider spun its web in vain, because there were no insects for its web to catch. Insects couldn’t stay until there were plants for them to eat. So plants had to be the pioneer life on this new island.
36.The passage centers on .
A.how an undersea volcano broke out
B.how an island rose up in the sea
C.how soil was formed on a new island
D.how life began on a volcano-produced island
37.According to the passage, the island got its first soil from .
A.sea waves

40.According to the passage, which of the following is true?
A.Spiders were the first life that could live on the island.
B.The island is far away from any piece of land.
C.Insects could not live on the island without plants.
D.Plants were brought to the island by human beings.
Passage Three
There is no creature that does not need sleep or complete rest every day.
If you want to know why, just try going without sleep for a long period of time. You will discover that your mind and body would become too tired to work properly. You would become irritable and find it hard to think clearly or concentrate on your work. So sleep is quite simply the time when the cells of your body recover from the work of the day and build up supplies of energy for the next period of activity.
One of the things we all know about sleep is that we are unconscious in sleep. We do not know what is going on around us. But that doesn’t mean the body stops all activity. The important organs continue to work during sleep, but most of the body functions are slowed down.
For example, our breathing becomes slower and deeper. The heart beats more slowly, and the blood pressure is lower. Our arms and legs become limp(柔软的) and muscles are at rest. It would be impossible for our body to relax to such an extent if we were awake. So sleep does for us what the most quiet rest can not do.
Your body temperature becomes lower when you are asleep, which is the reason people go to sleep under some kind of covers. And even though you are unconscious, many of your reflexes(习惯性思维) still work. For instance, if someone tickles(使觉得痒) your foot, you will put it away in your sleep, or even brush a fly from your forehead. You do these things without knowing it.
41.If you don’t have as much sleep as your body needs, you will .
A.work properly B.think clearly
C.keep your attention on your work D.easily get angry
42.The cells of your body develop supplies of energy .
A.when you are asleep
B.when you recover from your work of the day
C.in the next period of activity
D.when you are quiet
43.In the clause“...that we are unconscious in sleep,” the word“unconscious”means .
A.untiring B.unmoved
C.guiet D.not knowing what is happening around
44.Sleep helps your body to relax to such an extent .
A.that any rest can reach
B.that no rest can have the same effect
C.that you will never need any rest
D.that you will need the most quiet rest
45.When you are sleeping, .
A.all of you reflexes stop working
B.most of your reflexes stop working
C.many of your reflexes still work
D.all of your reflexes still work
Passage Four
The first European stock exchange was established in Antwerp, Belgium(比利时), in 1531.There were no stock exchanges in England until the 1700’s. A man wishing to buy or sell shares of stock had to find a broker(agents) to transact his business for him. In London, he usually went to a coffee house, because brokers often gathered there. In 1773, the brokers of London formed a stock exchange.
In New York City, brokers met under an old button-wood tree on Wall Street. They organized the New York Stock Exchange in 1792.The American Stock Exchange, second largest in the United States, was formerly called the Curb Exchange because of its origin on the streets of New York City.
A stock exchange is a market place where member brokers buy and sell stocks and bonds (债券)of American and foreign businesses on behalf of the public. A stock exchange provides a market place for stocks and bonds in the same way a board of trade does for commodities. The stockbrokers receive a small commission on each transaction they make.
The stockholder may sell his stock wherever he wants to unless the corporation has some special rule to prevent it.Prices of stock change according to general business conditions and the earnings and future prospects(前景) of the company. If the business is doing well, the stockholder may be able to sell his stock for a profit. If it is not, he may have to take a loss.

He looked back and saw that the police-car had begun to chase him. After a mile or so the police-car overtook(赶上)him and ordered him to stop. A policeman got out and came to Mr.Green’s car. Mr.Green hoped that he could tell the policeman about the escaped robber, but he felt the man had put a gun against his back. The policeman took out his notebook and pencil, saying he wanted Mr.Green’s name and address. Mr.Green asked to be taken to the police station, but the policeman said,“No, you will have to appear at the police station later.” Mr.Green had to do as the policeman told him. The policeman wrote his name and address down, put his notebook and pencil back in his pocket and gave Mr.Green a talk about dangerous driving. Then Mr.Green started up his car again and drove on.
Just as he reached the suburb of London, the passenger said,“I want to get off here.”Mr.Green stopped the car, the man got out and said,“Thanks for the lift. You’ve been good to me.

30.[答案] A
〖考点〗 推理判断。
【解析】 本句的意思是:过了一段时间,这个人就变得非常贫穷了。养活白象没有任何实用价值和好处,而且还要花费大量的钱财,必然要变穷。故A项poor为正确答案。
