Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D . Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Writer Kenneth Davis says American history is full of adventure and surprises. The author of the book Don't Know Much about History is slowly convincing Americans that the subject isn't boring. Mr. Davis says he first felt the force of history as a nine-year old child when he visited Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the site of an historic 1863 battle in the American Civil War. Some 50, 000 soldiers on the Northern and Southern sides were either killed or wounded there. "Standing there in those fields in the summer heat, feeling something extraordinary had happened here, you can't stand in that place and not feel that you're in the midst of something extraordinary and something very deep," he says. "So for me, history was always about the humanity, the people, and not always necessarily the famous people."
He says the great social or political movements in the United States often started with ordinary people. "Whether we're talking about the abolition of slavery, the movement for women to vote, the suffrage movement as it was called, even the temperance movement that prohibited alcohol, the civil rights movement, all these things came from the bottom up, they were grassroots movements, usually that the politicians resisted to the very end and had to be dragged kicking and screaming every inch of the way, "he notes.
Mr. Davis recounts the stories of such movements in his book, which has now sold 1.5 million copies. He has written similar works on geography, the Bible, and other subjects for both adults and children. He says one lesson he draws from history is that people can change the country by mobilizing their neighbors or by voting. Sometimes, he adds, change comes about through the force of an individual personality. "Whether it's a Washington and a Thomas Jefferson in the early days of America or a Franklin D. Roosevelt, or a Ronald Reagan, these are people whose personalities and character do absolutely make a difference on their times," he adds.
He says these people were often flawed. Jefferson, for example ,was a great champion of liberty and author of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. But he was also a slave owner. And two of the country's founding fathers were locked in a bitter feud that proved deadly for one of them. "200 years ago, on July 11, Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr faced off at 10 paces and Burr shoots Hamilton and kills him in a duel, "he says. "This was the sitting vice president of America and the former secretary of the treasury of America. Can you imagine today[ Vice President] Dick Cheney challenging[former treasury secretary] Paul O'Neill to aduel because he didn't like his book？ That moment speaks to the extraordinary larger-than-life characters who have peopled American history during these 228 years since we became a nation."
While Americans often overlook such episodes, not all the stories they cherish are accurate. For example, the tale is widely told about George Washington cutting down a cherry tree as a youngster, then admitting it to his father, unable to tell a lie. As far as historians know, it never happened. But the writer says the real story of the nation is much more interesting than the list of dates and battles taught in schools. He says the story is as engaging as any found in fiction.
What does the phrase" grassroots movements"(in L4, Para. 2)mean？
A．Movements led by influential leaders.
B．Movements started with ordinary people.
C．Widespread movements echoed by people across the country.
D．Movements started from rural areas.

M: You didn't answer my question. Did you receive it or not？
W: I love you Dad! You're the best!
M: Don't try to butter me up. I can guess that your answer means that you didn't do well in some of your classes？

M: In other words, you're not doing so well？
W: Uh, a C... minus.
M: Oh. Well, how are you doing in your Spanish class？ You said you liked that one.

听力原文： When people succeed, it is because of hard work, but luck has a lot to do with it, too. (29) Success without some luck is almost impossible. The French emperor Napoleon said of one of his generals, "I know he's good. But is he lucky？" Napoleon knew that all the hard work and talent in the world can't make up for bad luck. However, hard work can invite good luck.
When it comes to success, luck can mean being in the fight place to meet someone, or having the right skills to get a job done. It might mean turning down an offer and then having a better offer come along. Nothing can replace hard work, but (30) working hard also means you're preparing yourself opportunity. Opportunity very often depends on luck.

"Even in the best of lives, mistakes are made," said a wretched Ellis. It turned out that while the distinguished historian had served in the Army, he'd spent his war years not in the jungles of Southeast Asia, but teaching history at West Point (西点军校). He'd also overstated his role in the antiwar movement and even his high-school athletic records. His admission shocked colleagues, fellow historians and students who wondered why someone so accomplished would beautify his past. But it seems that success and truthfulness don't always go hand in hand. Even among the distinguished achievers, security experts say, one in ten is deceiving--indulging in everything from empty boasting to more serious offenses such as plagiarism (剽窃), fictionalizing military records, making up false academic certificates or worse. And, oddly, prominent people who beautify the past often do so once they're famous, says Ernest Brod of Kroll Associates, which has conducted thousands of background checks. Says Brod: "It's not like they use these lies to climb the ladder."
Then what makes them do it？ Psychologists say some people succeed, at least in part, because they are uniquely adjusted to the expectations of others. And no matter how well-known, those people can be haunted by a sense of their own shortcomings. "From outside, these people look anything but fragile," says Dennis Shulman, a New York psychoanalyst. "But inside, they feel hollow, empty."
Which of the following is true about Ellis？
A．He is a famous professor of history at West Point.
B．His book on the Vietnam war has won two important prizes.
C．He has told both students and reporters about his own experience of war.
D．He has written a best-seller for a newspaper-- The Boston Globe.
When it comes to history, he always ____________ (总是将战争与此联系起来).
W: Really？
M: Yeah, so what're you doing this summer, anything special？
W: Well, actually yeah. My parents have always liked taking my sister and me to different places in the United States. You know, places with historical significance. I guess they wanted to reinforce the stuff we learned in school about history. And so even though we are older now, they still do once in a while.
M: Oh, so where are you going this summer？
W: Well, this summer. It's finally going to be Gettysburg.
M: Finally？ You mean they never took you there yet？ I mean Gettysburg. It's probably the most famous civil war site in the country. It's only a couple of hours away. I think that would be one of the first places that they've taken you. I have been there a couple of times.
W: We were gonna to be about ten, well, no, it was exactly ten years ago. But I don't know. Something happened, I cannot remember what...
M: Something changed your plans.
W: Yeah, don't ask me what it was, but we ended up not going anywhere that year. I hope that doesn't happen again this year. I wrote a paper about Gettysburg last semester for a history class. I was to make a thorough investigation on the political situation in the United States right after the battle at Gettysburg, so I'm eager to see the place.
(23)
A．Their final exams and papers.
B．Plans for the coming summer.
C．A wonderful visit to Gettysburg.
D．Their parents' traveling habits.
