The earliest daily newspaper was started in Rome in 59 BC. In the 700s the worlds first printed newspaper was published. Europe didnt have a regularly published newspaper until 1609, when one was started in Germany. The first regularly published newspaper in the English language was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In 1621, an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week. The first daily English newspaper was the Daily Courant (每日新闻). It came out in March 1702. In 1690, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was first published, the government stopped the paper. In 1704, John Campbell started The Boston Newsletter (波斯顿新闻通讯), the first newspaper published in the American colonies. By 1760, the colonies had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1,800 daily papers in the United States. Today, as a group, English language newspapers have the largest circulation (发行量) in the world. But the largest circulation for a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper Asahi Dhimbun (朝日新闻). It sells more than eleven million copies every day.（ ）36. The first daily newspaper came out in _.

After arriving, we all rushed down to the river had a swim. Standing by the river, we noticed that it was surrounded（环绕）by cliffs （悬崖）.If someone wanted to reach the river at this point, he had to walk past our camp.Several days later, the scoutmaster had to he away for a day. That afternoon, we had supper early. We were sitting round the fire, eating and talking, when a man walked past and went down towards the river. We all felt that this man looked very strange, but, because each of us was afraid of looking very stupid, no one said anything.We ate rather slowly, taking as long as possible. After finishing, we collected our plates together so that we could take them to the river where we always washed them. But no one moved towards the river we stood looking at each other ashamed. Then all shouting at once, we began talking about the man who had walked past us. We agreed how strange he looked and we wondered what he could be doing by the river. We knew that he could only return by passing through our camp.An hour passed. Then one of the boys suggested we should creep（悄悄移动）down by the river so that we could see what the man was doing. Moving very slowly and keeping in the shadow, we crept down towards the bank. One boy climbed a tree so that he could see everything clearly. He called to us that there was no one there, so we ran down to the bank, looking every-where carefully. We could not understand where the man had gone.When it got dark, we went back to our camp feeling bewildered. We told the scoutmaster what had happened in the evening. Smiling, he doubted that we had seen the man, but finally suggested we go and look again. We did, but there was no one there.Many years have passed, but I still remember it as if it were yesterday. What did we see? I do not know.（ ）40The writer in the text mainly tells us _.Athe story of his childhood Ba strange camping experienceCabout a stranger by the river Dabout a good place for camping.（ ）41Why did the boys eat their supper slowly?AThey wanted to delay going to the river bank.BThey were sailing for their scoutmaster.CThey had a supper earlier than usual.DThey were taking while eating.（ ）42The word “bewildered” in the text probably means _.Aashamed Bnervous Cunable to understand Deager to know something（ ）43The writer still remembers the event because_.Athe boys acted foolishlyBthe camping place is beautifulCthere has been no explanation for the event Dhe particularly enjoyed his camping that summer. Passage 3:Im seventeen. I had worked as a box boy at a supermarket in Los Angeles. People came to the counter and you put things in their bags for them. And carried things to their cars. It was hard work.While working, you wear a plate with your name on it. I once met someone I knew years ago. I remembered his name and said,“ Mr. Castle, how are you?” We talked about this and that. As he left, he said,“ I t was nice talking to you, Brett.” I felt great, he remembered me. Then I looked down at my name plate. Oh no. He didnt remember me at all, he just read the name plate. I wish I had put “Irving” down on my name plate. If hed have said, “Oh yes, Irving, how could I forget you?” Id have been ready for him. Theres nothing personal here.The manager and everyone else who were a step above the box boys often shouted orders. One of these was：you couldnt accept tips（小费）.Okay, Im outside and I put the bags in the car. For a lot of people, the natural reaction（反应）is to take a quarter and give it me. Id say, “Im sorry, I cant” Theyd get angry. When you give someone a tip, youre sort of being polite. You take a quarter and you put it in their hand and you expect them to say, “ Oh, thanks a lot.” When you say, “Im sorry, I cant” they feel a little put down. They say, “No one will know.” And they put it in your pocket. You say, “I really cant” It gets to a point where you almost have to hurt a person physically（身体上）to prevent him from tipping you. It was not in agreement with the storys belief in being friendly. Accepting tips was a friendly thing and made the customer feel good. I just couldnt understand the strangeness of some peoples ideas. One lady actually put it in my pocket, got in the car, and drove away. I would have had to throw the quarter at her or eaten it or something.I had decided that one year was enough. Some people needed the job to stay alive and fed. I guess I had the means and could afford to hate it and give it up.（ ）44What can be the best title for this text?AHow Hard Life is for Box BoysBGetting along with CustomersCWhy I Gave up My JobDThe Art of Taking Tips（ ）45Form the second paragraph, we can infer that_.Athe writer didnt like the impersonal part of his job Bwith a name plate, people can easily start talking CMr. Castle mistook Irving for Brett DIrving was the writers real name（ ）46The box boy refused to accept tips because_.Acustomers only gave small tipsBsome customers had strange ideas about tippingCthe store forbade the box boys to take tipsDhe didnt want to fight with the customers（ ）47The underlined phrase “put down” in the third paragraph probably means_.Amisunderstood Bdefeated Chateful DhurtPassage 4:A century ago, the overwhelming majority of people in developing countries worked with their hands: on farms, in domestic service, in small craft shops and (at that time still a small minority) in factories. Fifty years later, the proportion of manual workers in the American labor force had dropped to around half, and factory workers had become the largest single section of the workforce, making up 35% of the total. Now, another 50 years later, fewer than a quarter of American workers make their living from manual jobs. Factory workers still account for the majority of the manual workers, but their share of the total workforce is down to around 15%-more or less back to what it had been 100 years earlier. Of all the big developed countries, America now has the smallest proportion of factory workers in its labor force. Britain is not far behind. In Japan and Germany, their share is still around a quarter, but it is shrinking steadily. To some extent this is a matter of definition. Data-processing employees or a manufacturing firm, such as the Ford Motor Company, are counted as employed in manufacturing, but when Ford out-sources its data processing, the same people doing exactly the same work are instantly redefined as service workers. However, too much should be made of this. Many studies in manufacturing businesses have shown that the decline in the number of people who actually work in the plant is roughly the same as the shrinkage reported in the national figures. （ ）48. The proportion of factory workers in the workforce a century ago was around_ A. 15% B. 50% C. 35% D. 85% （ ）49. It can be inferred from this passage that_ A. most people in developed countries work with their hands. B. workers in American manufacturing are not defined manual workers. C. There are actually fewer factory workers in American industry than has not been reported. D. The proportion of factory workers is seen as a measure of a nations economy. （ ）50. The number of factory workers in other developed countries_. A. is on the rise B. is decreasing gradually C. has remained unchanged D. will surpass that of farm laborers （ ）51. “Service workers” ( in line 8, paragraph 2) most probably refers to_. A. manual workers in factories B. those who make their living other than by manual work C. farm laborers D. craftsmen in workshops （ ）52. Which of the following statements best summarized the main idea of the passage? A. Manual workers contribution to capitalist development B. Todays conditions for American factory workers C. Evolutions in labor force over a century in developed countries D. Working people in developed countriesPassage 5:Mother Teresa was born in Yugoslavia(南斯拉夫),on August 27,1910.She attended the government school near her home until she was eighteen.
