She was born in Senegal, Africa, about 1753 and brought to America aboard a slave ship at about the age of seven. John and Susannah Wheatley bought her for three pounds at a slave auction in Boston in 1761 to be a personal servant of Mrs. Wheatley. The family had three other slaves, and all were treated with respect. Phyllis was soon accepted as one of the family, which included being raised and educated with the Wheatley's twin 15-year-old children, Mary and Nathaniel. At that time, most females, even from better families, could not read and write, but Mary was probably one of the best educated young women in Boston. Mary wanted to become a teacher, and in fact, it was Mary who decided to take charge of Phyllis's education. Phyllis soon displayed her remarkable talents. At the age of twelve she was reading the Greek and Latin classics and passages from the Bible. And eventually, Mrs. Wheatley decided Phyllis should become a Christian.At the age of thirteen Phyllis wrote her first poem. She became a Boston sensation after she wrote a poem on the death of the evangelical preacher George Whitfield in 1770. It became common practice in Boston to have "Mrs. Wheatley's Phyllis" read poetry in polite society. Mary married in 1771, and Phyllis later moved to the country because of poor health, as a teacher and caretaker to a farmer's three children. Mary had tried to interest publishers in Phyllis's poems but once they heard she was a Negro they weren'tinterested.Then in 1773 Phyllis went with Nathaniel, who was now a businessman, to London. It was thought that a sea voyage might improve her health. Thirty-nine of her poems were published in London as Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral. It was the first book published by a black American. In 1775 Phyllis wrote a poem extolling the accomplishments of George Washington and sent it to him. He responded by praising her talents and inviting her to visit his headquarters. After both of her benefactors died in 1777, and Mary died in 1778, Phyllis was freed as a slave. She married in 1778, moved away from Boston, and had three children. But after the unhappy marriage, she moved back to Boston, and died in poverty at the age of thirty.What does the passage mainly discuss?A Slavery and the treatment of the black people in America.B The Wheatley family, including their slaves.C The life of America's first black poet.第2题The underlined word "respect" in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning toA considerationB disregardC punishment第3题According to the passage, how many slaves did the Wheatley's have?A One.B Two.C Three.D Four.第4题According to the passage, an unusual feature of Mary was that sheA was not much older than PhyllisB wanted to become a teacherC was comparatively well educatedD decided to take charge of Phyllis's education第5题The underlined word "eventually" in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning toA ultimatelyB slowlyC reluctantlyD gradually第6题Which of the following is NOT true about Phyllis in the early 1770s?A She wrote her first poem when in her teens.B She married in 1771.C She became a teacher.D She was able to get her poems published.第7题The underlined word "they" in Paragraph 2 refers to______.A publishersB poemsC childrenD black people第8题It can be inferred that Phyllis's trip to England with Nathaniel in 1773 ______.A did not improve her healthB was for business reasonsC led to books of her poems being available in AmericaD led to the publication of her poems because the English were more interested in religious and moral subjects第9题The word "extolling" is closest in meaning to ______.A welcomingB statingC bemoaningD praising第10题Which of the following conclusions about Phyllis is supported by the passage?A She would have been more recognized as a poet if she had not been black.B She would have written poetry if she had stayed in Africa.C She went unrecognized as a poet during her lifetime.D She only wrote religious poetry.第11题About fifty years ago, plant physiologists set out to grow roots by themselves in solutions in laboratory flasks. The scientists found that the nutrition of isolated roots was quite simple. They required sugar and the usual minerals and vitamins. However, they did not require organic nitrogen compounds. These roots got along fine on mineral inorganic nitrogen. Roots are capable of making their own proteins and other organic compounds. These activities by roots require energy, of course. The process of respiration uses sugar to make the high energy compound ATP, which drives the biochemical reactions. Respiration also requires oxygen. Highly active roots require a good deal of oxygen.The study of isolated roots has provided an understanding of the relationship between shoots and roots in intact plants. The leaves of the shoots provide the roots with sugar and vitamins, and the roots provide the shoots with water and minerals. In addition, roots can provide the shoots with organic nitrogen compounds. This comes in handy for the growth of buds in the early spring when leaves are not yet functioning. Once leaves begin photosynthesizing, they produce protein, but only mature leaves can "export" protein to the rest of the plant in the form of amino acids.What is the main topic of the passage?A The relationship between a plant's roots and its shoots.B What can be learned by growing roots in isolation.C How plants can be grown without roots.D What elements are necessary for the growth of plants.第12题The underlined word "themselves" in Paragraph 1 refers to ______.A plant physiologistsB solutionsC laboratory flasksD roots第13题The scientists found what the isolated roots need is______.A quite naturalB sugar, minerals and vitaminsC some rare vitaminsD organic nitrogen compounds第14题Roots have the ability to ______.A make proteinsB obtain fresh airC produce inorganic nitrogenD carry out activities without energy第15题According to the passage, what is ATP?A A biochemical process.B The tip of a root.C A chemical compound.D A type of plant cell.第16题The underlined word "intact" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.A matureB wildC wholeD tiny第17题The use of the phrase "comes in handy" underlined in Paragraph 2 indicates that the process is ______.A unavoidableB predictableC necessaryD successful第18题It can be inferred from the passage that, in the early spring, the buds of plants ______.A "export" protein in the form of amino acidsB do not require waterC have begun photosynthesizingD obtain organic compounds from the root第19题Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage?A The results of two experiments are compared.B A generalization is made, and several examples of it are given.C The findings of an experiment are explained.D A hypothesis is presented, and several means of proving it are suggested.第20题Where is this passage likely to be found?A A newsletter.B A magazine.C A storybook.D A novel.第21题Natural flavorings and fragrances are often costly and limited in supply. For example, the vital ingredient in a rose fragrance isextracted from natural rose oil at a cost of thousands of dollars a pound; an identical synthetic substance can be made for 1% of this cost. Since the early twentieth century, success in reproducing these substances has created a new industry that today produces hundreds of artificial flavors and fragrances.Some natural fragrances are easily synthesized; these include vanillin, the aromatic ingredient in vanilla, and benzaldehyde, the aromatic ingredient in wild cherries. Other fragrances, however, have dozens, even hundreds of components. Only recently has it been possible to separate and identify these ingredients by the use of gas chromatography and spectroscopy. Once the chemical identity is known, it is often possible to synthesize them. Nevertheless, some complex substances, such as the aroma of fresh coffee, have still not been duplicated satisfactorily.Many of the chemical compounds making up these synthetics are identical to those found in nature, and are as harmless or harmful as the natural substances. New products must be tested for safety, and when used in food, must be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.The availability of synthetic flavors and fragrances has made possible a large variety of products, from inexpensive beverages to perfumed soap to used cars with applied "new car odor."From the passage we can learn that ______.A natural flavorings and fragrances are not quite dearB the limitation of natural flavorings and fragrances is clearC the supply of natural flavorings and fragrances is adequate to meet the demandD the cost of producing natural flavorings and fragrances is high第22题Which of the following is true according to the passage?A Natural rose fragrance is 100 times more expensive to produce than artificial rose fragrance.B The most important ingredient in a rose fragrance is obtained from natural rose oil at a low cost.C A different synthetic substance can be made for 1% of the cost.D Natural rose oil costs the same as its fragrances.第23题The industry of producing hundreds of artificial flavors and fragrances probably appeared in ______.A 2000B 1953C 1909D 1810第24题According to the passage, all the following are easier to synthesize EXCEPT ______.A aromatic ingredient in vanillaB vanillaC aromatic ingredient in wild cherryD the flavor of fresh coffee第25题The underlined word "duplicated" in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ______.A make doubleB make a copy ofC produce something equal toD take from第26题Why does the author mention fresh coffee in Paragraph 2?A As an example of complex substances having not been duplicated satisfactorily.B Because the coffee fragrance is hard to produce.C To conclude the passage.D The smell of fresh coffee is inviting.第27题______, a substance can be synthesized.A Upon identifying the basic components of itB Once chemically analyzedC When gas chromatography is usedD If spectroscopy is adopted第28题It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A vanillin is easier to synthesize than benzaldehydeB not all synthetic flavors are harmlessC in general, the less components there are in a fragrance, the harder it is to synthesizeD synthesized substances must be tested for safety only if they are used in food第29题Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A How to Synthesize FragrancesB Synthetic Substances Are Easy to MakeC Natural Flavorings and FragrancesD Synthetic Flavors and Fragrances第30题Which of the following is NOT true according to the last paragraph?A Synthetic fragrances can be used to make a used car smell like a new one.B Synthetic flavors and fragrances have added to the varieties of products.C Lemon soap is made out of some delicious lemon.D It is likely that a bottle of orange juice is synthesized.第31题Some people associate migration mainly with birds. Birds do travel vast distances, but mammals also migrate. An example is the caribou, reindeer that graze on the grassy slopes of northern Canada. When the weather turns cold, they travel south until spring. Their tracks are so well-worn that they are clearly visible from the air. Another migrating mammal is the Alaska fur seal. These seals breed only in the Pribilot Islands in the Bering Sea. The young are born in June and by September are strong enough to go with their mothers on a journey of over 3,000 miles. Together they swim down the Pacific Coast of North America. The females and young travel as far assouthern California. The males do not journey so far. They swim only to the Gulf of Alaska. In the spring, males and females all return to the islands, and there the cycle begins again. Whales are among the greatest migrators of all. The humpback and blue whales migrate thousands of miles each year from the polar seas to the tropics. Whales eat huge quantities of plankton. These are most abundant in cold polar waters. In winter, the whales move to warm waters to breed and give birth to their young.From the passage we can learn that ______.A people migrate like animalsB only birds migrateC the female fur seals migrate only to the Gulf of AlaskaD not all mammals migrate第32题The phrase "An example" underlined in Paragraph 1 refers to an example of a ______.A migratory mammalB place where animals migrateC migrating birdD person who associates migration with birds第33题All the mammals are mentioned as migrating ones EXCEPT______.A caribouB fin whaleC reindeerD Alaska fur seal第34题Where can you see from the air the migration of the mammals?A In the Pribilot Islands.B In the Bering Sea.C In southern California.D In northern Canada.第35题Which of the following is NOT true?。

Enveloped by an ocean of air consisting of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen, the planet is the only one in our solar system known to harbor life. Circling the Sun at an average distance of 149 million km (93 million miles), the Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the fifth largest planet in the solar system. Its rapid spin and molten nickel-iron core give rise to an extensive magnetic field which, coupled with the atmosphere, shields us from nearly ail of the harmful radiation coming from the Sun and other stars. Most meteors burn up in the Earths atmosphere before they can strike the surface. The planets active geological processes have left no evidence of the ancient pelting it almost certainly received soon after it was formed. The Earth has a single natural satellite - the Moon.51. Approximately how much of the Earths atmosphere is nitrogen?A. One-fourth.B. One- half.C. Three-fourths.D. All of it.52. Which of the following helps to create the Earths magnetic fields?A. Its blue waters.B. Its nitrogen atmosphere.C. Its molten metal core.D. The Moon.53. What two factors help protect the Earth from radiation?A. Magnetic field and atmosphere.B. Rapid spin and molten iron-nickel core.C. The Sun and the Moon.D. Blue waters and white clouds.54. Why does the Earth show almost no signs of having been hit by numerous meteors in the past?A. Humans have built over most of the craters.B. Most meteors fell into the ocean and not on land.C. The Earths magnetic field repelled most meteors.D. The Earths natural geologic activity has eliminated most traces.55. The main idea of this passage is that .A. there are life-supporting characteristics on the EarthB. the Earth is predominantly waterC. the Earth has no common characteristics with other planetsD. the Earth is the only planet with a moon56. This selection leads one to believe that the Earth .A. never gets hit by meteorsB. always gets hit by meteorsC. was hit by meteors some time in the pastD. may be bombarded by meteors in the near futureQuestions 57-62 are based on the following passage.Since life began eons ago, thousands of creatures have come and gone. Some, such as the dinosaurs, became extinct due to naturally changing ecologic conditions. More recent threats to life forms are humans and their activities. Man has drained marshes, burned prairies, dammed and diverted rivers. Some of the more recent casualties of mans expansion have been the dodo, great auk, passenger pigeon, Irish elk, and Stellers sea cow. Sadly, we can no longer attribute the increasing decline in our wild animals and plant species to natural processes. Many species are dying out because of exploitation, habitat alteration or destruction, pollution, or the introduction of new species of plants and animals to an area. As mandated by Congress, protecting endangered species, and restoring them to the point where their existence is no longerjeopardized, is the primary objective of the U.S. Fish and MriZdlife Services Endangered Species Program.57.

Congress can absolutely end extinction of animalsD. a law is more important than human responsibility62. Which of the following is NOT a cause of increasing decline of wild animal population?A. Exploitation.B. Pollution.C. Habitat alteration.D. Congressional Law.Questions 63-68 are based on the following passage.The Karat marking on jewelry tells you what proportion of-gold is mixed with other metals. If 14 parts of gold are mixed with 10 parts of base metal, the combination is called 14- Karat (14K) gold. The higher the Karat ratings the higher the proportion of gold in the object. The lowest Karat gold that can be marketed in the United States is 10-Karat gold. Jewelry does not have to be marked with its Karat quality, but most of it is. If there is a Karat quality mark, next to it must be the U.S. registered trademark of the person or company that will stand behind the mark, as required by the National Gold and Silver Stamping Act.63.

Their scores improved significantly. The other 8 students (who did not receive the beta blockers) improved only slightly. Second-time test-takers nation wide had average improvements which were similar to those in Faugels non-beta blocker group. Beta blockers are prescription drugs which have been around for 25 years. These medications, which interfere with the effects of adrenalin, have been used for heart conditions and for minor stress such as stage fright. Now they are used for test anxiety. These drugs seem to help test-takers who have low scores because of test fright, but not those who do not know the material. Since there can be side effects from these beta blockers, physicians are not ready to prescribe them routinely for all test-takers.69. Where is the only place a person can obtain beta blockers?A. Supermarket.B. Convenience store.C. Stationary storeD. Doctors office70. Why are beta blockers not prescribed regularly?A. Students are expected to do poorly.B. There are side effects.C.

She was born in Senegal, Africa, about 1753 and brought to America abroad a slave ship at about the age of seven. John and Susannah Wheatley bought her for three pounds at a slave auction in Boston in 1761 to be a personal servant of Mrs. Wheatley. The family had three other slaves, and all were treated with respect. Phyllis was soon accepted as one of the family, which included being raised and educated with the Wheatley's twin15- year-old children, Mary and Nathaniel. At that time, most females, even from better families, could not read and write, but Mary was probably one of the best educated young women in Boston. Mary wanted to become a teacher, and in fact, it was Mary who decided to take charge of Phyllis's education. Phyllis soon displayedher remarkable talents. At the age of twelve she was reading the Greek and Latin classics and passages from the Bible. And eventually, Mrs. Wheatley decided Phyllis should become a Christian.At the age of thirteen Phyllis wrote her first poem. She became a Boston sensation after she wrote a poem on the death of the evangelical preacher George Whitfield in 1770. It became common practice in Boston to have “Mrs. Wheatley's Phyllis” read poetry in polite society. Mary married in 1771, and Phyllis later moved to the country because of poor health, as a teacherand caretaker to a farmer's three children. Mary had tried to interest publishers in Phyllis's poems but once they heard she was a Negro they weren't interested.Then in 1773 Phyllis went with Nathaniel, who was now a businessman, to London.It was thought that a sea voyage might improve her health. Thirty-nine of her poems were published in London as Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral. It was the first book published by a black American. In 1775 Phyllis wrote a poem extolling the accomplishments of George Washington and sent it to him. He responded by praising her talents and inviting her to visit his headquarters. After both of her benefactors died in 1777, and Mary died in1778, Phyllis was freed as a slave. She married in 1778, moved away from Boston, and had three children. But after the unhappy marriage, she moved back to Boston, and died in poverty at the age of thirty.51. What does the passage mainly discuss?A.

She went unrecognized as a poet during her lifetime.D. She only wrote religious poetry.(2)About fifty years ago, plant physiologists set out to grow roots by themselvesin solutions in laboratory flasks. The scientists found that the nutrition of isolated roots was quite simple. They required sugar and the usual minerals and vitamins. However, they did not require organic nitrogen compounds. These roots got along fine on mineral inorganic nitrogen. Roots are capable of making their own proteins and other organic compounds. These activities by roots require energy, of course. The process of respiration uses sugar to make the high energy compound ATP, which drives the biochemical reactions. Respiration also require oxygen. Highly active roots require a good deal of oxygen.The study of isolated roots has provided an understanding of the relationship between shoots and roots in intact plants. The leaves of the shoots provide the roots with sugar and vitamins, and the roots provide the shoots with water and minerals.comesThis compounds. nitrogen organic with shoots the provide can roots addition, Inin handy for the growth of buds in the early spring whenleaves are not yet functioning. Once leaves begin photosynthesizing, they produce protein, but only mature leaves can “export” protein to the rest of the plant in the form of amino acids.61. What is the main topic of the passage?A. The relationship between a plant's roots and its shoots.B. What can be learned by growing roots in isolation.C. How plants can be grown without roots.D. What elements are necessary for the growth of plants.62. The underlined word “themselves” in Paragraph 1 refers to___.A. plant physiologistsB. solutionsC. laboratory flasksD. roots63.

A storybookD. A novel(3)Natural flavorings and fragrances are often costly and limited in supply. For example, the vital ingredient in a rose fragrance is extracted from natural rose oil at a cost of thousands of dollars a pound; an identical synthetic substance can be made for 1% of this cost. Since the early twentieth century, success in reproducingthese substances has created a new industry that today produces hundreds of artificial flavors and fragrances.Some natural fragrances are easily synthesized; these include vanillin, the aromatic ingredient in vanilla, and benzaldehyde, the aromatic ingredient in wild cherries. Other fragrances, however, have dozens, even hundreds of components. Only recently has it been possible to separate and identify these ingredients by the use of gas chromatography and spectroscopy. Once the chemical identity is known, it is often possible to synthesize them. Nevertheless, some complex substances such as the aroma of fresh coffee, have still not been duplicated satisfactorily.Many of the chemical compounds making up these synthetics are identical to those found in nature, and are as harmless or harmful as the natural substances. New products must be tested for safety, and when used in food, must be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.The availability of synthetic flavors and fragrances has made possible a large variety of products, from inexpensive beverages to perfumed soap to used cars with applied “new car odor”.71. From the passage we can learn that___.A. natural flavorings and fragrances are not quite dearB. the limitation of natural flavorings and fragrances is clearC. the supply of natural flavorings and fragrances is adequate to meet the demandD. the cost of producing natural flavorings and fragrances is high72. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Natural rose fragrance is 100 times more expensive to produce than artificial rose fragrance.B. The most important ingredient in a rose fragrance is obtained from natural rose oil at a low cost.C. A different synthetic substance can be made for 1% of the cost.D. Natural rose oil costs the same as its fragrances.73. The industry of producing hundreds of artificial flavors and fragrances probably appeared in___.A. 2000B. 1953C.1909D.181074. According to the passage, all the following are easier to synthesize EXCEPT___.A. aromatic ingredient in vanillaB. vanillaC. aromatic ingredient in wild cherryD. the flavor of flesh coffee75. The underlined word “duplicated” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to___.A. make doubleB. make a copy ofC. produce something equal toD. take from76. Why does the author mention fresh coffee in Paragraph 2?A. As an example of complex substances having not been duplicated satisfactorily.B. Because the coffee fragrance is hard to produce.。
