阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项a、b、c、d中选出正确选项,在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 a dear mr. president,i would like to personally thank you for your time and concern for our great country. i would like to take a few minutes to address a few concerns that i have with the united states.first of all, i would like to address the war. in my opinion, we should have never been involved with iraq to the extent that we are now. i believe we should pull our troops out. however, i think there should be a timetable that we follow but the timetable should not be released because the enemy does not need to know when we are going to pull out. also, the war takes out a ton of our money, which leads me to my next issue.the economy right now, in the opinion of many americans is the biggest issue with which we are facing right now. no one can predict what will happen one day or the next. the obvious thing to do is to put 700 billion dollars in the economy, but that bill failed and was rejected by the house of representatives. instead of putting 700 billion dollars in, i think the money should be equally distributed among americans to pay off their debts. im not sure if this would work, but i think it is a positive alternative we could take.my final issue i would like to call to your attention is teachers salaries. the high school students of today are americas future. in a way, americas future depends greatly on the high school teachers of america. saying this, it is sad that teachers salaries are where they are. while teachers are working harder and harder every day to teach high school students, ceos of big companies that are driving our countrys economy into the ground are getting bonuses. im not saying that teachers salaries should be the same of ceos of companies, but i do strongly believe that action should be taken to increase the salaries of teachers because they have one of the most important jobs in america-preparing our country for the future.once again, thank you for your time and your effort you put into making this great country a better place. sincerely, walker56. whats the authors attitude towards the iraq war?a. supportive b. negativec. positive d. objective57. whats true about the time of pulling the troops out?a. we should pull the troops out without delay.b. there is no need to have a timetable to follow.c. the public has the right to know the timetable.d. we should keep the time secret from the enemy.58. according to the author, the 700 billion dollars _ a. should be equally shared among americans.b. has been accepted by the house of representatives.c. is the biggest issue with which we are facing right nowd. should be put in the economy.59. when talking about high school teachers, the author thinks that _ a. the teachers work harder than ceos of companiesb. the teachers salaries should be as high as ceos.c. the teachers salaries are not high enough.d. teaching is more important than any other job in america.60. which of the topics is not included in the letter?a. international affair b. election c. finance d. education blondon undergroundthe worlds first subway was built in london in 1863. at that time, the government was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems in the city of london. the poor areas of the city were so crowded with people that it was almost impossible for horse carriages to get through. the city officials were interested in trying to make it possible for workers to live outside of london and travel easily to work each day. if people had a cheap and convenient way that they could depend on to go to and from work, they would relocate their homes outside of the city. this would help ease the pressure of too many people living in the poor parts of london. from these problems, the idea of the london underground, the first subway system, was born.the plans for building the underground met with several problems and delays, but the fast track was finally opened in january 1863. a steam train pulled the cars along the fast underground track which was 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) long. about 30,000 people got on the subway the first day. riders were treated to comfortable seats (standing up while the train was moving was not allowed), and pleasant decorations inside each of the cars. however, the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the tunnels with ash and soot, as well as chemical gases. fans had to be put in the tunnels later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe. even with its problems, riding in the underground did catch on. it carried 9 million riders in the first year.61. what led the british government to build the london underground? a. traffic jams and pollution b. population and pollution c. the poverty and subway problems d. overcrowding and traffic jams62 how did the london underground solve the smoke problem? a. it made the tunnels larger b. it cleaned the chemical gases in the tunnels c. it put fans in the tunnels d. it reduced the number of passengers riding in the train63. the underlined phrase “catch on” most probably means “_”. a. become popular and fashionable b. be troublesome c. keep up with d. seize64. which of the following is true? a. to locate the workers homes outside london, the government built the subway b. the subway greatly eased the pressure of traffic c. there were so many problems and delays that in 18th century the first subway opened d. there were not enough seats for the passengers the first day the subway opened.65. it seems that the writer is going to talk about _. a. more problems with subways b. the history and culture of london c. subways around the world later on d. the beijing subway cmike henry has a two-hectare farm in palmer, alaska. about a year and a half ago, his goat millie was giving him a hard time. she didnt want to be milked. instead, she kicked her back legs and stepped into the bucket that was supposed to catch her milk. but there was no milk to catch. all mike henry got was tired hands from his attempts to milk her. but he also got an idea. he designed a goat milking machine that does not require any electricity or motors.the henry milker is a hand-operated vacuum pump. it attaches a tube to the goat. after a little pumping, the milk begins to flow. the process uses a closed system to keep hair and dirt out of the milk. the milk goes directly from the goat into a box that is then placed in the refrigerator to keep the milk cold.milk henry has sold his invention to hundreds of people, mainly small farmers just like him. he at first considered spending more than one thousand dollars on an electric milking machine. but that seemed like a lot of money to milk just one goat. so he began to develop a device of his own. he worked with parts that he bought from an auto supply store and a wal-mart store.he tried his invention on millie. how did she react? she gave a little milk. as the months passed, he improved the device. milking millie became easy. the average milking time with the henry milker is ten minutes. mike henry says millie now gives about two liters in half that time.mike henry began to think other people who owned just a few goats might be interested in his invention. so he offered one on ebay, an internet marketplace. the first one sold for forty-five dollars. today, he receives orders from as far away as australia and new zealand with the regular price being one hundred forty-nine dollars. 66. mike henrys idea of inventing the henry milker came from _ .a. henrys usual milking experiences b. henrys sense of saving electricityc.henrys difficult time with millie d. henrys conversation with some farmers67. a closed system is used during the process in order to _ .a. cause the milk to flow b. make sure the milk is freshc.save the milking time d. keep the milk clean68. according to the passage, who would love the improved invention by mike henry most?a. people who are interested in electric machines.b. farmers with just a few goats wondering how to milk goats efficiently.c. farmers owning a large number of goats.d. people from as far away as australia and new zealand.69. what can we learn from the passage?a. henrys profits from his great invention are increasing.b. after offering his invention online, henry found people took no intere
