(91)Yet the waves,no matter how big or how violent,affect only the surface of the sea. During the most raging storms,the water a hundred fathoms(600feet)beneath the surface is just as calm as on a day without a breath of wind.21.According to the passage,destruction caused by high waves occurs______A.regularlyB.rarelyC.alwaysD.predictably22.It is implied that Out at sea,when waves going in opposite directions meet.their force_______A.causes great damageB.extends to the ocean floorC.is liable to lessenD.increases rapidly23.Coastal depth_______A.is the only factor influencing the strength of high wavesB.has enormous influence on the force of high wavesC.has no influence on the strength of very high wavesD.is irrelevant to the power of high waves24.It can be inferred from Para.2that the power of high waves striking the shore is_______A.constantB.equalizedC.variableD.perpetual25.It is impossible for the high waves______A.to bring about most raging stormsB.to have an effect on the sea bottomC.to affect the surface of the seaD.to cause damage to the landPassage TwoQuestions26to30are based on he following passage.The public school system,however,has no such choice,for the job must be carried on at the same time.Because we depend so heavily upon science and technology for our progress,we must produce specialists in many fields.(92)Because we live in a democratic nation,whose citizens make policies for the nation,large numbers of us must be educated to understand,to support,and when necessary,to judge the work of experts.The public school must educate both producers and users of scientific services.In education,there should be a good balance among the branches of knowledge that contribute to effective thinking and wise judgment.Such balance is defeated by too much emphasis on any one field.The question of balance involves not only the relation of the natural sciences,the social sciences,and the arts but also relative emphases among the natural sciences themselves.Similarly,we must have a balance between current and classical knowledge.The attention of the public is continually drawn to new possibilities in scientific fields and the discovery of new knowledge;these should not be allowed to turn our attention away from the sound,established materials that form the basis of courses for beginners.26.It is indicated in Para.1that the task of education is fairly complicated because_______A.the current public school system is too complicated to be understoodB.the public school system has no choice of what to teachC.it is difficult to decide whether elementary science should be taught in public schoolD.The educators have to take care of both ordinary and gifted students27.The word“defeated”(Para.2)most probably means_______A.brokenB.beatenC.lostD.smashed28.Which of the following statements is NOT included in the passage?A.One of the major tasks of education is to discover the most promising students.B.In order to teach effectively,educators are requested to lay emphasis on one particularfield.C.Some subjects have been over-emphasized in public schools.D.The progress of the society cannot merely rely on inventors.29.It can be inferred from the passage that_______A.students should learn more up-to-date knowledgeck of scientific knowledge will lead to poor relations between producers and users ofscientific servicesC.students are getting to know the importance of a good balance among the branches ofknowledgeD.Sufficient attention should be given to basic knowledge30.The best title for this passage might be_______A.Balance in Educationcational System in Public SchoolC.Current Situation in EducationD.Importance of Teaching Science and TechnologyPassage ThreeQuestions31to35are based on the following passage.(93)It was believed that a person was sick because he had been attacked by evil spirits.Thewitch doctor’s job was to drive off these spirits.His technique involved a combination of three methods,the first of which was religious.He chanted magic words and used good luck charms which he thought had power over the evil spirits that supposedly had entered the victim’s body.Secondly,he deliberately fed the patient mixtures, which were often filthy and disgusting,to make the evil spirits so uncomfortable that would gladly run away and so enable the patient to get well.(94)The third method was to give the patient medicines prepared from certain plants and herbs that were similar in shape or texture to the various organs of the body.From our point of view,this was the only method that had any value.Modern scientific study has shown that some of these remedies had real usefulness in curing sickness,or at least in relieving pain,but not for the reasons advanced by the witch doctor.31.The word“filthy”(Para.2)most probably means______A.deliciousB.effectiveC.dirtyD.primitive32.Disgusting mixtures were fed to the patient_______A.to make them uncomfortableB.to cause the spirits discomfortC.because evil spirits liked themD.because they had medical value33.According to the passage,the witch doctors______A.functioned in curing some diseasesB.did nothing but harmed human’s healthC.firmly believed in religionsD.were proficient in medicine34.When primitive people were cured,it was actually a result of_______A.the witch doctor’s prayersB.the departure of evil spirits from the bodyC.reasons unknown to the witch doctorD.the great skill of witch doctor35.Scientifically speaking,it might be somewhat effective in curing sickness for witch doctor_______A.to use good luck charmsB.to chant magic wordsC.to feed the sick people mixturesD.to give the patient medicines prepared from certain plants and herbsPassage FourQuestions36to40are based on the following passage.Do you realize that you have made a statement?Hold the glance for a second longer,and you have made a different statement.Hold it for3seconds,and the meaning has changed again.For every social situation,there is a permissible time that you can hold a person’s gaze without being intimate,rude or aggressive.If you are on an elevator,what gaze-time are you permitted?To answer this question,consider what you typically do.You very likely give other passengersa quick glance to size them up and to assure them that you mean no threat.(95)Since beingclose to another person signals the possibility of interaction,you need to emit a signal telling others you want to be left alone.So you cut off eye contact,what sociologist Erving Goffman calls“a dimming of the lights”.You look down at the floor,at the indicator lights,anywhere but into another passenger’s eyes.Should you break the rule against staring at a stranger on anelevator,you will make the other person exceedingly uncomfortable,and you are likely to feela bit strange yourself.If you hold eye contact for more than3seconds,what are you telling another person?Much depends on the person and situation.For instance,a man and a woman communicate interest in this matter.They typically gaze at each other for about3seconds at a time,then drop their eyes down for3seconds,before letting their eyes meet again.But if one man gives another man a3-second-plus stare,he signals“I know you”.I am interested in you”or“You look peculiar and I am curious about you.“This type of stare often produces hostile feelings.36.It can be inferred from the first paragraph that_______A.every glance has its significanceB.staring at a person is an expression of interestC.a gaze longer than3seconds is unacceptableD.a glance conveys more meaning than words37.If a person wants to be left alone on an elevator,the best thing to do isA.to look into another passenger’s eyesB.to avoid eye contact with other passengersC.to signal that he is not a threat to themD.to keep a certain distance from other passengers38.The phrase“a dimming of the lights”most probably means______A.closing one’s eyesB.turning off the lightsC.ceasing to glance at othersD.reducing gaze-time to the minimum39.If one is looked at by a stranger for too long,he tends to feel______A.depressedB.uneasyC.curiousD.amazed40.The passage is mainly about______A.the limitation of eye contactsB.the exchange of ideas through eye contactsC.proper behavior in different situationD.the role of eye contact in interpersonal communicationPart III Cloze(15minutes10%)Directions:In this part there is a passage with20blanks in it.For each blank there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You are required to choose the one that best fills into the passage and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.45greenhouse gases never rise beyond their present level,temperatures and sea levels will continue46for another century or more because of a time47in the oceans'response to atmospheric temperatures,say researchers.This time lag means policymakers cannot afford to wait to tackle climate change48its consequences become painful,because49then they will already be committed50further change,they urge."The feeling is that if things are getting bad,you51the stop button.But even if you52,the

is55to the increase in during the20th century.And because water expands as it56this time lag in temperature will continue to push sea level57.Meehl's models predict that thermal expansion alone would make sea levels rise by about11centimeters over the next century,even if greenhouse gases were held 582,000levels.The real rise would almost certainly be more,he says,because his models donot include

第I卷（共100分）Part I Reading Comprehension （共40分）Passage 1Sometimes, people simply do not realize they are being ill mannered. Take Ted, for example. He prides himself on speaking his mind, and has something to say on everything. But his frankness is often extremely embarrassing.He is incapable of saying, “I thought that last advertising campaign had a lot of good ideas in it, but perhaps next time we could give the copy more vitality (活力) .”Instead, he could say, “That campaign was a disaster. A child of three could have done be tter!”The fact that he is often right does not help. Other employees dislike his manner even more, he is too sensitive to notice.Another character among the list of ill-mannered employees is Sally, who seems to regard just being at work as a severe punishment. Everything is done unwillingly. Asking her to do a task beyond her basic job description is often not worth the trouble. It will be done, but half-heartedly.Fergus is just the opposite. He shows an over-familiarity to his boss. When an important visitor is shown into the manager’s office, Fergus cannot take the hint and leave. Ins tead he w3ill attempt to take part in the conversation, declaring, “You can talk in font of me. Henry and I don’t have many secrets, do we? ” Over the years Pergus has fallen behind his former equals. But he seeks to maintain the same close relationship that he imagines existed in their younger days.1. Which of the following words describes Ted best?A. ColdB. TactlessC. StupidD. Warm-hearted2. It can be inferred from the passage that Ted .A. is well-known for his honestlyB. tends to blame others rather than himselfC. often gives the right idea in the wrong wayD. is treated unfairly by the management3. Which of the following is true about Sally?A. She thinks it’s unfair to have so much work to do.B. She is unhappy to help others.C. She hates being ordered about.D. She does everything half-heartedly.4. Form the passage, we can infer that Fergus .A. was once close to all his colleaguesB. has remained in the same position for yearsC. doesn’t kno w what a hint isD. knows everything that happens in the office5. The writer is taking the point of view of .A. a colleagueB. people like TedC. an employeeD. a managerPassage 2A lot of real businesses are focusing on the Internet as a way of building sales, but some people with nothingto sell are creating their own Web sites to announce wedding plans, show off pictures of their kids or just have communication. It’s not as hard as you think and it can be a lot of fun. Carol Masser has some tips on building you own Web site. “Like my living room, or my study, it’s where I put, mementos (纪念品), collectibles (收藏物), books and paintings and things that I would like to show to my friend s and relatives.”Renne Tubegeihan uses his own Web site to invite people into his virtual home. While John Marashod designed his own Web site to attract other parents of disabled children. “I’d say the goal of this site is to basically link parents in the same situation with disabled children and excha nge ideas with one another.”Renne and John are part of a growing number of surfers who have established their own Web site. If you want to weave a Web yourself, it’s easier than you think. The first step is to get your own Web address. They’re sold by Web service providers like Microsoft, AT&T, and other local companies. You are expected to pay between 15 and 25 dollars every month to rent space for your site. But some companies, like Tripod and Geocities, issue the site for free if you agree to allow their advertising on your page.Before you get into setting up your own Web site, you should go around and do some surfing and check out other sites. Once you know what you want to do, it’s time to build. If you just want the basics, you can use Microsoft’s fr ee Internet Assistant; or if you want to get a little fancier, you can by a software program like Adobe Page Mill for 100 dollars or Microsoft’s FrontPage Editor for 150 dollars.6. According to the passage, some people create their own Web sites in order to .A. sell their personal thingsB. set up family businessC. communications with othersD. show off their Web-site building skills7. What is the main goal of John Marashod’s Web site?A. To contact parents who like to share their ideas on raising children.B. To link parents who offer free service to disabled children.C. To send information to disabled children.D. To link parents with disabled children so as to communicate with each other.8. Some companies offer free Web address provided that .A. their advertisements are allowed to be put on the Web siteB. the Web service providers agree to put their advertisement on their Web sitesC. Microsoft and other service providers pay the monthly rentD. 25 dollars are to Microsoft, A T&T or other local companies9. What do you need to do after you get your Web site address according to the passage?A. You need to contact a local company for free advertising.B. You need to surf some web sites so as to decide what will be included in your Web site.C. You need to learn the basic skills of creating a Web site.D. You need to buy a software program called Adobe Page Mill.10. What does the author think about creating one’s own Web site?A. It’s very complicated.B. It’s expensive by American standa rd.C. It’s much easier than we think.D. It’s just too simple.Passage 3Moods, say the experts, are emotions that tend to became fixed, influencing one’s outlook for hours, days or even weeks. That’s great if your mood is a pleasant one, but a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry or simple lonely.Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out: sometimes, though, there is no one to listen. Modern pharmacology (药物学) offers a lot of tranquilizers (镇静剂), antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs. What many people don’t realize, however, is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drug approaches to make you free from an unwanted mood. These can be just as useful as drugs, and have the added benefit of being non-poisonous. So next time you feel out of sorts, don’t head for the drug-store, try the following approach.Of all the mood-altering self-help techniques, aerobic (增氧健体的) exercise seems to be the most efficient cure for a bad mood. “If you could keep the exercise, you’d be in high spirits.”Says Kathryn Lance, author of Running for Health and Beauty.Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make exercise compared favorably to drugs as a mood-raiser. Physical exertion such as housework, however, does little. The key is aerobic exercise—running, cycling, walking, swimming or other repetitive and tamed activities that boost the heart rate., increase circulation (血液循环) and improve the body’s utilization (利用) of oxygen. Do them for at least 20 minutes a session, three of five times a week.11. What id the main subject of the passage?A. How to beat a bad mood.B. How to do physical exercise.C. How to talk bad moods out.D. How to get involved in aerobic exercise.12. It can be inferred from the passage that .A. the best way to overcome a bad mood is to talk to oneselfB. when one is in a bad mood, he or she may not work very efficientlyC. some drugs are more effective than physical exerciseD. a person can make a big profit if he is in a good mood13. “Feel out of sorts” in the second paragraph could be best replaced by “ ”.A. put things in orderB. be in bad moodC. search for tranquilizersD. need a mood-raiser14. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Doing housework can also help you overcome bad mood.B. Aerobic exercise can make you in high spirits.C. Swimming, walking, or running is an efficient cure for a bad mood.D. Taking anti-anxiety drugs might do harm to people’s health.15. Which of the following best describes the organization of this passage?A. A procedure is explained and its significance is emphasized.B. A problem is pointed out and solutions are given.C. Two contrasting views of a problem are presented.D. Recent pharmacological advancements are outlined in order of importance.Passage 4(非英语类学生必做，英语类学生不做，16—20小题。

Each passage is followed by some questions or 转自学易网 studyezunfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B. C and D. You are required to decide on the choice that best answers the question or completes the statement.Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Very high waves arc destructive when they strike the land. Fortunately, this seldom happens.转自学易网学易网One reason is that out at sea, waves moving in one direction almost always run into waves moving in a different direction. The two sets of waves tend to cancel each other out. Another reason is that 转自学易网water is shallower near the shore. As a wave gets closer to land, the shallow bottom helps reduce itsstrength. 转自学易网But the power of waves striking the shore can still be very great. During a winter gale, waves sometimes strike the shore with the force of 6,000 pounds for each square foot. That means a wave. 转自学易网25 feet high and 500 feet along its face, may strike the shore with a force of 75 million pounds. (91) Yet the waves, no matter how big or how violent, affect only the surface of the sea. 转自学易网During the most raging storms, the water a hundred fathoms (600 feet) beneath the surface is just as calm as on a day without a breath of wind. 转自学易网21. According to the passage, destruction caused by high waves occurs ______A. regularlyB. rarelyC. alwaysD. predictably22. It is implied that Out at sea, when waves going in opposite directions meet. 转自学易网their force _______A. causes great damageB. extends to the ocean floorC. is liable to lessenD. increases rapidly 转自学易网23. Coastal depth _______A. is the only factor influencing the strength of high wavesB. has enormous influence on the force of high wavesC. has no influence on the strength of very high wavesD. is irrelevant to the power of high waves24. It can be inferred from Para. 2 that the power of high waves striking the shore is _______A. constantB. equalizedC. variableD. perpetual 转自学易网学易网25. It is impossible for the high waves ______A. to bring about most raging stormsB. to have an effect on the sea bottomC. to affect the surface of the seaD. to cause damage to the land 转自学易网Passage Two- Passage Four 请参见红皮书?新教材配套翻译与应试指导?Part III Cloze (15 minutes 10%)请参见红皮书?新教材配套翻译与应试指导?Directions: In this part there is a passage with 2 0 blanks in it.

江苏省专升本英语真题2008年
江苏省专升本英语真题2008年第Ⅰ卷Part Ⅰ Reading ComprehensionDirections:In this part there are four passages. Each passage is followed by five comprehension questions. Read the passages and answer the questions. Then mark your answer on the answer sheet.Passage OneSometimes, people simply do not realize they are being ill mannered. Take Ted, for example. He prides himself on speaking his mind, and has something to say on everything. But his frankness is often extremely embarrassing. He is incapable of saying, "I thought that last advertising campaign had a lot of good ideas in it, but perhaps next time we could give the copy more vitality(活力)." Instead, he would say, "That campaign was a disaster. A child of three could have done better!"The fact that he is often right does not help. Other employees dislike his manner even more, but he is too insensitive to notice.Another character among the list of ill-mannered employees is Sally, who seems to regard just being at work as a severe punishment.Everything is done unwillingly. Asking her to do a task beyond her basic job description is often not worth the trouble. It will be done, but only half-heartedly.Fergus is just the opposite. He shows an over-familiarity to his boss. When an important visitor is shown into the manager's office, Fergus cannot take the hint and leave. Instead he will attempt to take part in the conversation, declaring, "You can talk in front of me. Henry and I don't have many secrets, do we?" Over the years Fergus has fallen behind his former equals. But he seeks to maintain the same close relationship that he imagines existed in their younger days.1、 Which of the following words describes Ted best? ______A. Cold.B. Tactless.C. Stupid.D.Warm-hearted.2、 It can be inferred from the passage that Ted ______.A. is well-known for his honestyB. tends to blame others rather than himselfC. often gives the right idea in the wrong wayD. is treated unfairly by the management3、 Which of the following is true about Sally? ______A. She thinks it's unfair to have so much work to do.B. She is unhappy to help others.C. She hates being ordered about.D. She does everything half-heartedly.4、 From the passage, we can infer that Fergus ______.A. was once close to all his colleaguesB. has remained in the same position for yearsC. doesn't know what a hint isD. knows everything that happens in the office5、 The writer is taking the point of view of ______.A. a colleagueB. people like TedC. an employeeD. a managerPassage TwoA lot of real businesses are focusing on the Internet as a way of buildingsales, but some people with nothing to sell are creating their own Websites to announce wedding plans, show off pictures of their kids or just have communications. It's not as hard as you think and it can be a lot of fun. Carol Masser has some tips on building your own Website. "Like my living room, or my study, it's where I put mementos (纪念品), collectibles (收藏物), books and paintings and things that I would like to show to my friends and relatives."Renne Tubegeihan uses his own Website to invite people into his virtual home. While John Marashod designed his own Website to attract other parents of disabled children, "I'd say the goal of this site is to basically link parents in the same situation with disabled children and exchange ideas with one another."Renne and John are part of a growing number of surfers who have established their own Websites. If you want to weave a Web yourself, it's easier than you think. The first step is to get your own Web address. They're sold by Web service providers like Microsoft, AT&T, and other local companies. You are expected to pay between 15 and 25 dollars every month to rent space for your site. But some companies, like Tripod and Geocities, issue the site for free if you agree to allow their advertising on your page.Before you get into setting up your own Website, you should go around and do some surfing and check out other sites. Once you know what you want to do, it's time to build. If you just want the basics, you can use Microsoft's free Internet Assistant; or if you want to get a little fancier, you can buy a software program like Adobe Page Mill for 100 dollars, or Microsoft's FrontPage Editor for 150 dollars.6、 According to the passage, some people create their own Websites in order to ______.A. sell their personal thingsB. set up family businessC. communicate with othersD. show off their Website building skills7、 What is the main goal of John Marashod's Website? ______A. To contact parents who like to share their ideas on raising children.B. To link parents who offer free service to disabled children.C. To send information to disabled children.D. To link parents with disabled children so as to communicate with each other.8、 Some companies offer free Web addresses provided that ______.A. their advertisements are allowed to be put on the WebsiteB. the Web service providers agree to put their advertisement on their Web sitesC. Microsoft and other service providers pay the monthly rentD. 25 dollars are paid to Microsoft, AT&T or other local companies9、 What do you need to do after you get your Website address according to the passage? ______A. You need to contact a local company for free advertising.B. You need to surf some Websites so as to decide what will be included in your Website.C. You need to learn the basic skills of creating a Web site.D. You need to buy a software program called Adobe Page Mill.10、 What does the author think about creating one's own Website? ______A. It's very complicated.B. It's expensive by American standard.C. It's much easier than we think.D. It's just too simple.Passage ThreeMoods, say the experts, are emotions that tend to become fixed, influencing one's outlook for hours, days or even weeks. That's great if your mood is a pleasant one, but a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry or simply lonely. Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out; sometimes, though, there is no one to listen. Modem pharmacology (药物学) offers a lot of tranquilizers (镇静剂), antidepressants and anti-anxiety drugs. What many people don't realize, however, is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drug approaches to make you free from an unwanted mood.These can be just as useful as drugs, and have the added benefit of being non-poisonous. So next time you feel out of sorts, don't head for the drugstore, try the following approach.Of all the mood-altering self-help techniques, aerobic(增氧健体的) exercise seems to be the most efficient cure for a bad mood. "If you could keep the exercise, you'd be in high spirits." says Kathryn Lance, author of Running for Health and Beauty.Researchers have explained biochemical and various other changes that make exercise compared favorably to drugs as a mood-raiser. Physical exertion such as housework, however, does little. The key is aerobic exercise—running, cycling, walking, swimming or other repetitive and tamed activities that boost the heart rate, increase circulation(血液循环) and improve the body's utilization(利用) of oxygen. Do them for at least twenty minutes a session, three or five times a week.11、 What is the main subject of the passage? ______A. How to beat a bad mood.B. How to do physical exercise.C. How to talk bad moods out.D. How to get involved in aerobic exercise.12、 It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. the best way to overcome a bad mood is to talk to oneselfB. when one is in a bad mood, he or she may not work very efficientlyC. some drugs are more effective than physical exerciseD. a person can make a big profit if he is in a good mood13、 "Feel out of sorts" in the second paragraph could be best replaced by "______".A. put things in orderB. be in a bad moodC. search for tranquilizersD. need a mood-raiser14、 Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? ______A. Doing housework can also help you overcome a bad mood.B. Aerobic exercise can make you in high spirits.C. Swimming, walking, or running is an efficient cure for a bad mood.D. Taking anti-anxiety drugs might do harm to people's health.15、 Which of the following best describes the organization of this passage? ______A. A procedure is explained and its significance is emphasized.B. A problem is pointed out and solutions are given.C. Two contrasting views of a problem are presented.D. Recent pharmacological advancements are outlined in order of importance. Passage Four(非英语类学生必做，英语类学生不做。

He is， even today， a symbol of courage and adventure. But what was the life of the cowboy really like？The cowboy‘s job is clear from the word “cowboy”. C owboys were men who took care of cows and other cattle. The cattle were in the West and in Texas. People in the cities of the East wanted beef from these cattle. Trains could take the cattle east. But first the cattle had to get to the trains. Part of the cowboy’s job was to take the cattle hundreds of miles to the railroad towns.The trips were called cattle drives. A cattle drive usually took several months. Cowboys rode for sixteen hours a day. Because they rode so much， each cowboy brought along about eight horses. A cowboy changed horses several times each day.The cowboys had to make sure that the cattle arrived safely. Before starting on a drive，the cowboys branded the cattle. They burned a make on the cattle to show who they belonged to. But t hese marks didn‘t stop rustlers， or cattle thieves. Cowboys had to protect the cattle from rustlers. Rustlers made the dangerous trip even more dangerous.Even though their work was very difficult and dangerous， cowboys did not earn much money. They were paid bally. Yet cowboys liked their way of life. They lived in a wild and open country. They lived a life of adventure and freedom.< ）55.

He often wears a tall hat， a bow tie，and the stars and stripes of the American flag.Who is this strange， looking man？ Would you believe that Uncle Sam is the US government？ But why do you call the US government Uncle Sam？During the War of 1812， the US government hired meat packers to provide meat to the army. One of these meat packers was a man named Samuel Wilson. Samuel was a friendly and fair man. Everyone liked him and called him Uncle Sam.Sam Wilson stamped the boxes of meat for the army with a large US for United States. Some government inspectors came to look over Sam‘s company. They asked a worker what the US on the boxes stood for. As a joke，the worker answered that these letters stood for the name of his boss，Uncle Sam.The joke spread，and soldiers began saying that their food came from Uncle Sam. Before long，people called all things that came from the government “Uncle Sam‘s”， “Uncle Sam” became a nickname for the US government.Soon there were drawings and cartoons of Uncle Sam in newspapers. In these early pictures， Uncle Sam was a young man. He wore stars and stripes， but his hair was dark and he had not a beard. The beard was added when Abraham Lincoln was President. President Lincoln had a beard.The most famous picture of Uncle Sam is on a poster from World War I. The government needed men to fight in the war.

The world Red Cross organizations are sometimes called the Red Crescent， the Red Mogen David， the Sun， and the Red Lion. All of these agencies share a common goal of trying to help people in need.The idea of forming an organization to help the sick and wounded during a war started with Jean Henri Dunant.

The most important result of his work was an international treaty called the Geneva Convention.
