B

After the American Revolution won in 1787, the new government in the U.S.A. had to choose a capital city. The thirteen states quarreled about this. So the government decided to build a completely new capital. The land on the River Potomac was given the name District of Columbia (D.C). The new Capital was built on the north bank of the river. It was named after George Washington, the president of the U.S.A.

     Washington D. C., a government city, is an important cultural (文化) center as well as a big tourist (游覽) center.

     Most capital cities have simply grown from small cities. Washington, however was planned as the capital of a great nation. It was designed by a French artist who first made a study of many capital cities of Europe. In general, his plan followed the plan of the beautiful French city of Versailles (凡爾賽).

61. When the new capital was built , America was made up of ____ states.

A. thirteen                           B. thirty         C. fifty                  D. fifteen

62. Washington D.C. is the name of _______.

A. an American president             B. America’s capital

C. a famous river                   D. a beautiful garden city

63. According to the passage we can conclude that America’s capital_____.

A. lies in the center on the country              B. came from a small city

C. was built by French workers            D. lies on the River Potomac

64. According to the passage we can infer that Washington D.C. is the center of America’s ______.

A. economy (經(jīng)濟(jì)), sports and culture B. culture, traveling and sports

C. politics, culture and traveling          D. politics, culture and economy

61-64. ABDC  


解析:

本文主要講的是美國(guó)的首都 Washing D. C 的由來(lái)、在美國(guó)的地位及它的設(shè)計(jì)風(fēng)格。

61. A。細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第1段第2句  The thirteen states quarreled about this 可知答案為B。

62. B。細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)第1段 …was given the name District (D. C), The new Capital…It was named after George Washington 及第2段  Washington D. C, a government city…可知答案為 B。

63. D。細(xì)節(jié)判斷題。根據(jù)第1段 The land on the River Potomac was given the name District of Columbia (D. C). The new Capital was built on the north bank of the river 可知此題答案為 B。

64. C。因?yàn)?Washington D. C 是美國(guó)的首都,所以它應(yīng)是美國(guó)的政治中心;再根據(jù)第2段中 …is a important cultural centre as well as a big tourist centre 可知它也是美國(guó)的文化和旅游中心。所以答案為 A。

THE BRONTE FAMILY
Yorkshire, England was the setting for two great novels (小說(shuō)) of the 19th century. These were Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre and Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights. The youngest sister, Anne, was also a gifted novelist, and her books have the same extraordinary quality as her sisters’.
Their father was Patrick Bronte, born in Ireland. He moved with his wife, Maria Bronte, and their six small children to Haworth in Yorkshire in 1820. Soon after, Mrs. Bronte and the two eldest children died, leaving the father to care of the remaining three girls and a boy.
Charlotte was born in 1816. Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820. Their brother Branwell was born in 1817. Left to themselves, the children wrote and told stories and walked over the hills. They grew up largely self-educated. Branwell showed a great interest in drawing. The girls were determined to earn money for his art education. They took positions as teachers or taught children in their homes.
As children they had all written many stories. Charlotte, as a young girl, alone wrote 22 books, each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting. Therefore, they turned to writing for income. By 1847, Charlotte had written The Professor; Emily, Wuthering Heights; and Anne, Agnes Grey. After much difficulty Anne and Emily found a publisher(出版商), but there was no interest shown in Charlotte’s book. (It was not published until 1859.) However, one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her works. Jane Eyre was already started, and she hurriedly finished it. It was accepted at once; thus each of the sisters had a book published in 1847.
Jane Eyre was immediately successful; the other two, however, did not do so well. People did not like Wuthering Heights. They said it was too wild, too animal-like. But gradually it came to be considered one of the finest novels in the English language. Emily lived only a short while after the publication of the book, and Anne died in 1849.
Charlotte published Shirley in 1849, and Villette in 1853. In 1854 she married Arthur Bell Nicholls. But only a year later, she died of tuberculosis(肺結(jié)核) as her sisters had.
【小題1】We know from the text that      .

A.Jane Eyre was published in 1847
B.Charlotte Bronte wrote 22 books in all
C.the Bronte sisters received good education
D.Patrick Bronte helped his daughters with their writing
【小題2】The underlined words “the other two” in the 5 th paragraph refer to      .
A.Shirley and VilletteB.The Professor and Agnes Grey
C.Agnes Grey and Wutheriing HeightsD.The Professor and wuthering Heights
【小題3】 What do we know about the Bronte sisters from the text?
A.Their novels interested few publishers.
B.None of them had more than two books published.
C.None of them lived longer than 40 years old.
D.Emily was the least successful of the three.
