The theme of the story is about children growing up(It describes how strangers are seen in small towns of America. Finally, it talks about freedom，social rules and how people are punished(惩罚)for bad behavior. Why do I think The Adventure of Tom Sawyer is a great book? Mark Twain wrote the story in 1876，but it's still read and loved by people all over the world today( And although it’s only a story. Twain wrote it in the everyday English of the southern states of America in the 19th century，so it sounds very real. Today it’s thought to be one of the greatest books in American 2 literature.

Coffee also has an important role in British culture(People often use the words“Will you come for coffee?” to mean“Would you like to come to my home for a chat?”Normally， several different drinks such as tea, hot chocolate or a soft drink like orange Juice will be served as well as coffee(and you will be asked what you would like(However，you will not normally he offered wine at a "coffee" party. Coffeehouses and the London Stock Exchange In the 17th century London，coffeehouses were busy and noisy places(Businessmen and bankers went to coffeehouses to do their business, as well as to drink coffee(In fact，the London Stock Exchange(股票交易所) is believed to have started from these coffeehouses 31(Anna introduced the idea of drinking afternoon tee because she ______( A enjoyed chatting with her friends at home B loved fine tea and beautiful china tea cups C(wanted to share nice food with her friends D found people felt hungry during the long wait between the two meals 32(What does“social occasions”mean in Chinese? 3 A(集体婚礼 B(社交活动 C.社区 表 关于同志近三年现实表现材料材料类招标技术评分表图表与交易pdf视力表打印pdf用图表说话 pdf 演 D(公共场合 33 If someone says to you“Will you come for coffee?”，you A(will be offered coffee only B(are asked what you would like to drink C(will be asked to have a chat with him or her D(are invited to take part in an afternoon tea party 34(From the last paragraph (段落) we can see ______.

A(British And Chinese Cultures B(The Beginning Of Tea And Coffee C. Coffeehouses And Business D(English Tea And Coffee Culture Mass transportation revised the social and economic fabric of the American city in three fundamental ways. It catalyzed physical expansion, it sorted out people and land uses, and it accelerated the inherent instability of urban life. By opening vast areas ofunoccupied land for residential expansion, the omnibuses, horse railways, commuter trains, and electric trolleys pulled settled regions outward two to four times more distant from city centers than they were in the premodern era. In 1850, for example, the borders of Boston lay scarcely two miles from the old business district; by the turn of the century the radius extended ten miles. Now those who would afford it could live far removed from the old city center and still commute there for work, shopping, and entertainment. The new accessibility of land around the periphery of almost every major city sparked an explosion of real estate development and fueled what we now know as urban sprawl. Between 1890 and 1920, for example, some 250,000 new residential lots were recorded within the borders of Chicago, most of them located in outlying areas. Over the same period, another 550,000 were plotted outside the city limits but within the metropolitan area. Anxious to take advantage of the possibilities of commuting, real estate developers added 800,000 potential building sites to the Chicago region in just thirty years-lots that could have housed five to six million people. Of course, many were never occupied; there was always a huge surplus of subdivided, but vacant, land around Chicago and other cities. These excesses underscore a feature of residential expansion related to the growth of mass transportation: urban sprawl was essentially unplanned. It was carried out by thousands of small investors who paid little heed to coordinated land use or to future land users. Those who purchased and prepared land for residential purposes, particularly land near or outside city borders where transit lines and middle-class inhabitants were anticipated, did so to create demand as much as to respond to it. Chicago is a prime example of this process. Real estate subdivision there proceeded much faster than population growth. 36. The author mentions all of the following as effects of mass transportation on cities EXCEPT A. growth in city area B. separation of commercial and residential districts C. changes in life in the inner city D. increasing standards of living 4 37. The word "vast" in line 3 is closest in meaning to A. large B. basic C. new D. urban 38. Why does the author mention both Boston and Chicago? A. To demonstrate positive and negative effects of growth B. To show that mass transit changed many cities C.To exemplify cities with and without mass transportation D. To contrast their rates of growth 39. According to the passage, what was one disadvantage of residential expansion? A. It was expensive. B. It happened too slowly. C. It was unplanned. D. It created a demand for public transportation. 40. The author mentions Chicago in the second paragraph as an example of a city A. that is large B .that is used as a model for land development C. where land development exceeded population growth D. with an excellent mass transportation system How we look and how we appear to others probably worries us more when are in our teens or early twenties than at any other time in our life. Few of us are content to accept ourselves as we are, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion. Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner. If we do, they tell ns,we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment. Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just to dress. A barber today does not cut a boy’s hair in the same way as he used to, and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandm others did. The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles and we are constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we are odd or dull. What causes fashions to change? Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion. Take hats,for example. In cold climates, early buildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside. In recent times, the late President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats: more American men followed his example. There is also a cyclical pattern in fashion. In the 1920s in Europe and A merica, short skirts became fashionable. After World War Two, they dropped to ankle length. Then they got shorter and shorter the miniskirt was in fashion. After a few more years, skirts became longer again. Today, society is much freer and easier than it used to be. It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else. Within reason, you can dress as you like or do your hair the way you like instead of the way you should because it is the fashion. The popularity of jeans and the “untidy” look seems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion of the top fashion houses. At the same time, appearance is still important in certain circumstances and then we must choose our clothes carefully. It would be foolish to go to an interview for a job in a law firm wearing jeans and a sweater; and it would be discourteous to visit some distinguished scholar 5 looking as if we were going to the beach or a night club. However, you need never feel depressed if you don’t look like the latest fashion photo. Look around you and you’ll see that no one else does either! 41. The author thinks that people are ___. A. satisfied with their appearance B. concerned about appearance in old age C. far from neglecting what is in fashion D. reluctant to follow the trends in fashion 42.

A. uniform B. varied C. unknown D. inexplicable. 44. Present-day society is much freer and easier because it emphasizes___. A. uniformity B. formality C. informality D. individuality 45. Which is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Care about appearance in formal situations. B. Fashion in formal and informal situations. C. Ignoring appearance in informal situations. D. Ignoring appearance in all situations. 首字母填空0.5x10 We have been in Australia for three days. We’re having a g 46 time here. Australia is the sixth largest country in the world.
