So Owen was able to educate himself. He read a lot in his spare time and at nineteen he was given the job of superintendent (监工) at a Manchester cotton factory. He was so successful there that he persuaded his employer to buy the New Lanark factory in Scotland.When he arrived at New Lanark, it was a dirty little town with a population of 2,000 people. Nobody paid any attention to the workers houses or their childrens education. The conditions in the factories were bad. There was much crime and the men spent most of their wages on alcoholic drinks.Owen improved the houses. He encouraged people to be clean and save money. He limited the sale of alcoholic drinks. Above all, he fixed his mind on the childrens education. In 1816 he opened the first free primary school in Britain.People came from all over the country to visit Owens factory. They saw that the workers were healthier. Their children were better fed and better educated. Owen tried the same experiment in the United States. He bought some land there in 1825, but the community was too far away. He could not keep it under control and lost most of his money.Owen never stopped fighting for his idea. He was a practical man and his ideas were practical. “If you give people good working conditions,” he thought, “they will work well and, the most important thing of all, if you give them the chance to learn, they will be better people.” 44. For Owen, his greatest achievement in New Lanark was _.A. improving the workers conditionsB. giving the children a good education C. helping people with some money D. keeping men away from alcoholic drinks45. Which of the following is the right order of the events? a. Owen was given a job at a Manchester cotton factory.b. He opened the first free primary school in Britain.c. He went to work and educated himself.d. Owen tried his ideal experiment in the United States. e. He arrived at New Lanark and wanted to change the bad situation.A. ecadb B. dabce C. caebd D. aecbd46. Owens experiment in the United States failed because _.A. he had not enough money B. people there didnt believe himC. the land he bought was much too expensive D. he lived so far that he could not control it properly47. What is the best title of the passage? A. A Self-educated ManB. A Person Fighting for an IdeaC. Importance of Childrens EducationD. Necessities of Improving Workers Conditions CJust like rice and noodles are different from bread, snacks in China are a world apart from those in the UK and the US. For one thing, I never imagined that sunflower seeds would be so popular here. I spotted people having them while waiting for table outside restaurants, before dinner and, of course, while watching TV. I also saw that a plate of sunflower seeds is always on offer during the Spring Festival holidays.I had hardly tried sunflower seeds when I came to China. In the UK, though, young people love their snacks. In fact, young people in Britain eat more snacks than people of the same age in other European countries. A recent survey has discovered that 64% under 20-year-olds snack between meals, according to an article on the British Council website. In comparison, 58.7% young people snack in Germany, 63% in France, and 40.7% in Spain.British snacks are generally unhealthy. Our favorites are probably potato chips, which we call crisp, and chocolate bars. From a very young age, we always looked forward to them after school.Snacks are popular in the US. One of the things I found the most especial when I first visited the US was the number of snacks in the supermarkets. I was surprised to find huge passages just for snacks that were bigger than some stores I had been to in the UK. All in all, its probably best for your health if you like sunflower seeds rather than potato chips and chocolate. But eating these delicious treats sometimes couldnt possibly be wrong, could it?48. The first paragraph is mainly about _.A. snacks young Western people likeB. the favorite snacksunflower seeds in ChinaC. different eating habits between the UK and the U.SD. the popular snacks abroad 49. According to the British Council, snacks are the least popular among young people in _.A. Britain B. Germany C. France D. Spain50. When the author went to supermarkets in the US, he was surprised most by_.A. the large number of snacksB. the shapes of the snacks packagesC. the price of different snacksD. the different tastes of the snacks 51. What is the author attitude towards the snacks?A. Disappointed.B. Positive.C. Negative.D. Doubtful.DMany people think that Americans are people who have no morals（道德）. Thats not true. Many people insist that ideas about right and wrong are just personal opinions. William J. Bennett, former U.S. Secretary of Education suggests that great moral stories can build character. The success of Bennetts book shows that many Americans still believe in moral values. But what are they? One of the most basic moral values for Americans is honesty. The well-known story about George Washington and the cherry tree teaches this value clearly. Little George cut down his fathers favorite cherry tree while trying out his new hatchet（斧头）. When his father asked him about it, George said, “I cannot tell a lie. I did it with my hatchet.” Instead of punishment, George received praise for telling the truth. Sometimes American honestybeing open and direct can make people angry. But Americans still believe that “Honesty is the best policy.”Another virtue （the quality of doing what is right） Americans respect is compassion （同情）. The story of “The Good Samaritan” from the Bible describes a man who showed compassion. On his way to a certain city, a Samaritan man found a poor traveler lying on the road. The traveler had been beaten and robbed. The kind Samaritan, instead of just passing by, stopped to help this person in need. Compassion can even turn into a positive cycle. In the fall of 1992, people in Iowa sent truckloads of water to help Floridians hit by a hurricane. The next summer, during the Midwest flooding, Florida returned the favor.52. One of the most basic moral values for Americans is _.A. self-respect B. honesty C. compassion D. praise53. Many Americans still believe in moral values because_.A. they think honesty is the best policyB. they think moral values can make them gentleC. they think great moral values can build good characterD. they insist that ideas about right and wrong are personal problems54. Why didnt Georges father punish him for cutting down the cherry tree?A. Because his father did not care about the cherry tree at all.B. Because his father understood he wanted to try out his new hatchet.C. Because his father thought honesty is the most important thing.D. Because his father did not care about him at all.55. What does the underlined sentence in the 3rd paragraph mean?A. People can benefit a lot from the moral values.B. Be positive and your life will filled with happiness.C. People may feel happy when they help others.D. People reward love with love and pass it on one after another.第二节 （共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 If you want to apply to colleges in another country, here are some important things to keep in mind.Do some research about your applicant colleges.
