根据短文的内容,回答下列题目

Fighting for a Brighter Future for Women

When I was asked what it means to be a woman running for president, I always gave the same answer that I was proud to be running as a woman, but I was running because I thought I&39;d be the best president.

But I am a woman and, like millions of women I know there are still barriers and biases (偏见) out there, often unconscious, and I want to build an America that respects and embraces the potential of every last one of us.

I ran as a daughter who benefited from opportunities my mother never dreamed of. I ran as a mother who worried about my daughter&39;s future and a mother who wants to leave all children brighter tomorrows.

To build that future I see, we must make sure that women and men alike understand the struggles of their grandmothers and their mothers, and that women enjoy equal opportunities, equal pay, and equal respect.

Let us resolve and work toward achieving very simple propositions (命题) : There are no acceptable limits, and there are no acceptable prejudices in the 21st century in our country.

You can also be so proud that, from now on, it will be unremarkable for a woman to win primary state victories, unremarkable to have a woman in a close race to be our nominee (被提名者), unremarkable to think that a woman can be the president of the United States. And this is truly remarkable, my friends.

To those who are disappointed that we couldn&39;t go all of the way, especially the young people who put so much into this campaign, it would break my heart if, in failing short of my goal, I in any way discouraged any of you from pursuing yours.

Always aim high, work hard, and care deeply about what you believe in. And, when you stumble (犯错), keep faith. And, when you&39;re knocked down, get fight back up and never listen to anyone who says you can&39;t or shouldn&39;t go on.

As we gather here today in this historic, magnificent building, the 50th woman to leave the Earth is orbiting (绕轨道运行) overhead. If we can blast 50 women into space, we will someday launch a woman into the White House.

Hillary Clinton was elected president of the United States. 查看材料

根据短文的内容回答,下列题目

Telling Tales about People

One of the most common types of nonfiction, and one that many people enjoy reading, is stories about people&39;s lives. These stores fall into three general categories: autobiography, memoir,and biography.

An autobiography is the story of a person&39;s life written by himself or herself. Often it begins with the person&39;s earliest recollections and ends in the present. Autobiography writers may not be entirely objective in the way they present themselves. However, they offer the reader a good look at the way they are and what makes them that way. &39;People as diverse as Benjamin Franklin and Helen Keller have written autobiographies. Other writers, such as James Joyce, have written thinly fictionalized accounts of their lives. These are not autobiographies, but they are very close to it.

Memoirs, strictly speaking, are autobiographical accounts that focus as much on the events of the times as on the life of the author. Memoir writers typically use these events as backdrops for their lives. They describe them in detail and discuss their importance. Recently, though, the term memoir seems to be becoming interchangeable with autobiography. A memoir nowadays may or may not deal with the outside world.

Biographies are factual accounts of someone else&39;s life. In many senses, these may be the hardest of the three types to write. Autobiography writers know the events they write about because they lived them. But biography writers have to gather information from as many different sources as possible. Then they have to decide which facts to include. Their goal is to present a balanced picture of a person, not one that is overly positive or too critical. A fair, well-presented biography may take years to research and write.

This passage is mostly about__________. 查看材料

A.the characteristics of autobiographies, memoirs, and biographies

B.famous autobiographies

C.why biography can be difficult to write

D.differences between autobiographies and memoirs

根据短文的内容回答,下列题目

Some Schooling on Backpacks

According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.5,900 kids were treated at hospital emergency rooms, clinics, and doctors&39; offices last year for sprains and strains caused by backpacks. Such injures are so widespread that more than 70 percent of physicians take it as a potential clinical problem for children.

How do you avoid such problems? Choose bags that have wide, padded straps (有垫的背带)and a belt. That will help transfer some of the weight from the back and shoulders to the hips. You should also tighten both straps firmly, so the pack rests about 2 inches above your waist. Also,remember to pack your bag with the heaviest items closest to your back and to bend both knees when you pick it up.

How much should you stuff into your pack? That depends on your size and strength, but a general rule is not to exceed 20 percent of your body weight. So if a child weights 100 pounds, the backpack and its load should not be more than 20 pounds. One hint: Make frequent trips to your locker (储物柜) to exchange books between classes.

Backpacks with wheels let you pull the weight along the ground, but they have problems too. Many are larger than the average shoulder bag, so students ai&39;e tempted to carry more than they would in a conventional pack.

Roller bags often don&39;t fit into a locker. They can also lead to tripping and falls in crowded halls. Whatever you use. l0 or l 5 minutes of stretching and back strengthening is a good idea.

About six thousand American kids were injured by carrying backpacks last year. 查看材料

根据短文的内容,回答下列题目

Global Warming

(1) Smoke is clouding our view of global warming, protecting the planet from perhaps three-quarters ofthe greenhouse (温室) effect. That might sound like good news, but experts say that as the cover diminishes in coming decades, we are facing a dramatic increase of warming that could be two or even three times as great as official best guesses.

(2) This was the dramatic conclusion reached last week at a workshop in Dahlem, Berlin, where top atmospheric scientists got together, including Nobel prize winner Paul Crutzen and Swedish scientist Bert Bolin, former chairman of the UN&39;s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

(3) IPCC scientists have suspected for a decade that aerosols (浮质 ) of smoke and other particles from burning rainforest, crop waste and fossil fuels are blocking sunlight and counteracting the warming effect of carbon dioxide (二氧化物) emissions. Until now, they reckoned that aerosols reduced greenhouse wanning by perhaps a quarter, cutting increases by 0.2℃. So the 0.6℃ of warming over the past century would have been 0.8℃ without aerosols.

(4) But the Berlin workshop concluded that the real figure is even higher--aerosols may have reduced global warming by as much as three-quarters, cutting increases by 1.8℃. If so, the good news is that aerosols have prevented the world getting almost two degrees warmer than it is now. But the bad news is that the climate system is much more sensitive to greenhouse gases than previously guessed.

(5) As those gases are expected to continue accumulating in the atmosphere while aerosols stabilize or fall, that means "dramatic consequences for estimates of future climate change",the scientists agreed in a draft report from the workshop.

根据短文的内容,回答下列题目 They Say Ireland&39;s the BestIreland is the best place in t

根据短文的内容,回答下列题目

They Say Ireland&39;s the Best

Ireland is the best place in the world to live in for 2005, according to a life quality ranking that appeared in Britain&39;s Economist magazine last week.

The ambitious attempt to compare happiness levels around the world is based on the principle that wealth is not the only measure of human satisfaction and well-being.

The index of 111 cotmtries uses data on incomes, health, unemployment, climate, political stability, job security, gender equality as well as what the magazine calls "freedom, family and community life".

Despite the bad weather, troubled health service, traffic congestion (拥挤), gender inequality,and the high cost of living. Ireland scored an impressive 8.33 points out of 10.

That put it well ahead of second-place Switzerland, which managed 8.07. Zimbabwe, troubled by political insecurity and hunger, is rated the gloomiest (最差的), picking up only 3.89 points.

"Although rising incomes and increased individual choices are highly valued," the report said,"some of the factors associated with modernization such as the breakdown (崩溃) in traditional institutions and family values in part take away from a positive impact."

"Ireland wins because it successfully combines the most desirable elements of the new with the preservation of certain warm elements of the old, such as stable family and community life."

The magazine admitted measuring quality of&39;life is not a straightforward thing to do, and that its findings would have their critics.

No.2 on the list is Switzerland. The other nations in the top 10 are Norway, Luxembourg,Sweden, Australia, Iceland, Italy, Denmark and Spain. The UK is positioned at No.29, a much lower position chiefly because of the social and family breakdown recorded in official statistics.

The US, which has the second highest per capita GDP (人均国内生产总值) after Luxembourg,took the 13th place in the survey. China was in the lower half of the league at 60th.

For 2,005 years, Ireland has been the best place for humans to live in. 查看材料

根据短文的内容,回答下列题目 A Debate on the English LanguageA measure declaring English

根据短文的内容,回答下列题目

A Debate on the English Language

A measure declaring English the national language is under intense debate in the United States.

The US Senate passed two declarations last week. One calls English the nation&39;s official language and the other says it is the "common and unifying (统一的) " tongue. But Americans found themselves divided on the issue.

Since people worldwide know that most Americans speak only English, many can&39;t understand why the issue is so controversial (有争议的 ) .

"The discussion is related to fears of immigration issues," says Dick Tucker, a social scientist at Pittsburgh&39;s Carnegie Mellon University. "It&39;s related to a worry about the changing demography (入口统计 ) of the US. It&39;s a worry about who will continue to have political and economic influence."

In fact, the notion of protecting the language has been kicked around almost since the nation&39;s founding. John Adams lobbied (游说) in 1780 for the creation of a national academy to correct and improve the English language. But his proposal died, since lawmakers saw it as a royalist (保皇主义者 ) attempt to define personal behavior.

Since then, the country hasn&39;t had a national language, but the idea of recognizing the special status of English lived on.

The emotions surrounding language resurface (再次浮现)not because people feel comfortable with English. It is more about the discomfort many Americans feel with the new languages, says Walt Wolfram, a professor at North Carolina State University.

"Language is never about language," he says.

According to the 2000 US Census Bureau report, of 209 million Americans over 18 years old,172 million speak only English at home. About 37 million speak languages other than English.

Among them,6.5 million speak poor English and 3.1 million don&39;t speak English at all.

What are the two declarations concerned with? 查看材料

A.The status of the English language.

B.The protection of new languages.

C.The rights to speak one"s mother tongue.

D.The improvement of the English language.

根据短文的内容,回答下列题目

How to Start a Small Business in the US

People .from other countries often take America as the "land of opportunity". Americans, too,believe that the country gives no end of chances to those who want to open their own businesses.

Today, many Americans are still trying hard to become small business people, although only one out of two remains in operation after the first two years.

Many people start their small businesses for the wrong reasons. They want to get away from the paper work of their present jobs or to exchange the responsibility of their present jobs for free life styles. But more, not less, paper work and responsibility come with ownership of a small business.

Thomas is the owner of the news magazine Mother Earth, which is now quite successful. He says that he had to work sixty hours without stopping when he was trying to bring out the first issue.

Thomas had waited for years after he came up with the idea for Mother Earth. During that time,he collected as much information as he could about his business. He borrowed books from the library,talked to successful people in the field, and began planning carefully the amount of money and the kinds and numbers of supplies he would need. When he finally opened with a capital of $1,500, he set up his office in the kitchen and his printing press in the garage. Owing to his devotion to business, his talent, and his skill in management, Mother Earth now has a circulation of 300,000.

Not all small businesses are doing as fine as Mother Earth.50% of the 450,000 that start in America every year fail. Still,95% businesses in the US can be called "small". Altogether these businesses amount to 40% of America&39;s gross national product.

According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE of the small businesses in the US? 查看材料

A.All of them close down in the first two years

B.Most of them fail within the first two years

C.They all make big profits

D.Only half of them continue to operate after the first two years

Outside-the-classroom Learning Makes a Big Difference

Putting a bunch of college students in charge of a $300,000 Dance Marathon, fundraiser surely sounds a bit risky. When you consider the fact that the money is supposed to be given to. Children in need of medical care, you might call the idea crazy.

Most student leaders don&39;t want to spend a large amount of time on something they care little about, said 22-year-old University of Florida student Darren Heitner. He was the Dance Marathon&39;s operations officer for two years.

Yvonne Fangmeyer, director of the student organization office at the University of Wisconsin,conducted a survey in February of students involved in campus organizations. She said the desire for friendship was the most frequently cited reason for joining.

At large universities like Fangmeyer&39;s, which has more than 40,000 students, the students first of all want to find a way to "belong in their own comer of campus".

Katie Rowley, a Wisconsin senior, confirms the survey&39;s findings. "I wanted to make the campus feel smaller by joining an organization where I could not only get involved on campus but also find a group of friends."

All of this talk of fi&39;iendship, however, does not mean that students aren&39;t thinking about their resumes.

"I think that a lot of people do join to &39;fatten up their resume&39;," said Heitner. "At the beginning of my college career, I joined a few of these organizations, hoping to get a start in my leadership roles."

But without passion student leaders can have a difficult time trying to weather the storms that come. For example, in April, several student organizations at Wisconsin teamed up for an event designed to educate students about homelessness and poverty. Student leaders had to face the problem of solving disagreements, moving the event because of rainy weather, and dealing with the university&39;s complicated bureaucracy.

"Outside-of-the-classroom-learning really makes a big difference," Fangmeyer said.

An extracurricular activity like raising a fund of $300,000 is risky because most student leaders __________. 查看材料

A.are lazy

B.are stupid

C.are not rich enough

D.will not take an interest in it
