Question 36-40

The agricultural revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things: t he invention of labor-saving machinery and the development of scientific agricu lture. Labor-saving machinery naturally appeared first where labor was scarce. "In Europe, said Thomas Jefferson, "the object is to make the most of their la nd, labor being abundant: here it is to make the most of our labor, land being abundant. It was in the United States, therefore, that the great advances in ni neteenth-century agricultural machinery first came.

At the opening of the century, with the exception of a crude plow, farmer s could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural implements on t heir backs; by 1860, most of the machinery in use today had been designed in an early form. The most important of the early inventions was the iron plow. As early as 1790 Charles Newbold of New Jersey had been working on the i dea of a cast-iron plow and spent his entire fortune in introducing his inventio

n. The farmers, however, were not interested in it, claiming that the iron poiso ned the soil and made the weeds grow. Nevertheless, many people devoted the ir attention to the plow, until in 1869 James Oliver of South Bend, Indiana, tu rned out the first chilled-steel plow.

36.What is the main topic of the passage?

(A) The need for agricultural advances to help feed a growing population

(B) The development of safer machines demanded by the labor movement

(D) New Jersey as a leader in the agricultural revolution

37.The underlined word "naturally" is closest in meaning to

(A) unsurprisingly

(B) gradually

(D) safely

38. The underlined expression "make the most of" is closest in meaning t o

(A) get the best yield from

(B) raise the price of

(D) earn a living on

39. Which of the following can be inferred from what Thomas Jefferson s aid (first paragraph)?

(A) Europe was changing more quickly than the United States.

(B) Europe had greater need of farm machinery than the United States di d.

(D) There was a shortage of workers on United States farms.

40.The underlined word "here" refers to

(A) Europe

(B) United States

(D) Indiana

Question 41-45

In the 1600s when the Spanish moved into what later was to become the southwestern United States，they encountered the ancestors of the modern-day Pueblo，Hopi，and Zuni peoples. These ancestors，known variously as the Basket Makers，the Anasazi，or the Ancient Ones，had lived in the area f or at least 2，000 years. They were an advanced agricultural people who used irrigation to help grow their crops.

The Anasazi lived in houses constructed of adobe and wood. Anasazi hou ses were originally built in pits and were entered from the roof. But around th e year 700 A.D.，the Anasazi began to build their homes above ground and j oin them together into rambling multistoried complexes，which the Spanish cal led pueblos or villages. Separate subterranean rooms in these pueblos——know n as kivas or chapels——were set aside for religious ceremonials. Each kiva h ad a fire pit and a hole that was believed to lead to the underworld. The larg est pueblos had five stories and more than 800 rooms.

The Anasazi family was matrilineal，that is，descent was traced through the female. The sacred objects of the family were under the control of the old est female，but the actual ceremonies were conducted by her brother or son. Women owned the rooms in the pueblo and the crops，once they were harves ted. While still growing，crops belonged to the man who，in contrast to most other Native American groups，planted them. The women made baskets and pottery，the men wove textile and crafted turquoise jewelry.

Each village had two chiefs. The village chief dealt with land disputes an d religious affairs. The war chief led the men in fighting during occasional co nflicts that broke out with neighboring villages and directed the men in comm unity building projects. The cohesive political and social organization of the A nasazi made it almost impossible for other groups to conquer them.

41. The Anasazi people were considered "agriculturally advanced" because of the way they

（A）stored their crops

（B）fertilized their fields.

（C）watered their crops.

（D）planted their fields.

42.The underlined word "pits" is closest in meaning to

（A）stages

（B）scars

（C）seeds

（D）holes.

43.The underlined word "stories" is closest in meaning to

（A）articles

（B）tales

（C）levels

（D）rumors

44.Who would have been most likely to control the sacred objects of an Anasazi family？

（A） A twenty-year-old man

（B） A twenty-year-old woman

（C） A forty-year-old man

（D） A forty-year-old woman

45.The underlined word "they" refers to

（A）women

（B）crops

（C）rooms

（D）pueblos

Cycling also carries a relatively low chance of injury. While being good for your body，bicycle commuting is also a great way to cut greenhouse gases. Many environmentalists recycle，plant tees，and drive hybrid cars (混合动力汽车)，but bicycle commuting could be even more effective than all of those combined.

You might be shocked by the cost. But if you think about the increasingly high gas prices, you will know for sure that you can save a significant amount each year by not driving a car. You might think that you don't have time for bicycle commuting Actually. you probably do. You could cut back on your TV time and pick up this activity. It helps you care for the environment，save money，and most importantly get fit. 1. I will write a best-selling book on cycling. ( ) A:True B:False C:Not Given 英语（二）试卷第1页（共8页）

Think again. Leasing can end up being just as expensive as buying. Most people think about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They're right-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were to lease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If you were to buy the same car, you would pay about $400 per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But after your lease is over, you have to give the car back. Many people want to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwise be able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you might be able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might have to buy a used Explorer, or buy a new but much less expensive model. A lease，therefore，allows you to drive the latest models of more expensive cars. However, whatever car you can afford to buy you get to keep it, and it will always have a resell or trade-in(以新旧换)value if you want to upgrade to a new car later. Furthermore, people who lease cars are often shocked by how much they must pay when the lease is over . Most leases limit you to a certain number of miles. If you go over that, you must pay for each mile. As a result, you may end up paying thousands of dollars in mileage(里程) fees. In addition, when you lease ,you have to pay for regular maintenance and repairs to the vehicle. Since you must return the car finally, you are paying to repair someone else's car.
