Reading Comprehension：18分People often dream of living in a _37_ place where no one would be poor, no one would be rich and everyone would be considerate of everyone else. Such a place, _38_, is too good to be true: such a place is nowhere, and thats what the word UTOPIA means. It is made up of two Greek words meaning NOT A PLACE.The word was first used by Sir Thomas More, a sixteenth century English writer whose book UTOPIA, _39_ in 1516, described a perfect island country. Mores idea for his tale came from the ancient Greek _40_Plato. Platos THE REPUBLIC described what would be a perfect state. Early legends among the Norse, Celtic, and Arab people told of a perfect place existing somewhere in the Atlantic. These legends were no longer believed when explorations of America began, _41_ after Mores time it became common for writers to imagine and _42_ a perfect place. Today when people want certain changes in government or society, their ideas are sometimes _43_ UTPIA. Usually the _44_ means that the changes, if effected, would not suddenly make everything perfect because people are by nature _45_. III.

They were not allowed to smoke or drink alcohol _49_ the tests, and they were expected to tolerate each others _50_ at close quarters for the entire period. Among other things they had to _51_ pressure three times the force of gravity and carry out both physical and mental tasks while exhausted from pains taking physical exercise. At the end of ten days, they had to _52_ a further twenty days absolutely confined to bed, during which time they _53_ backaches and other discomforts, and when they were finally allowed up, the more physically active women were especially subject to pains due to a slight calcium loss.

Its neighbors are Canada to the north and Mexico to the south. Although the United State is a big country, it is not the largest in the world. In 1964, its population was over 185,000,000.When this land first became a nation, after winning its independence from England, it had thirteen states. Each of the states was represented(代表) on the American flag by a star. All these states were in the eastern part of the continent. As the nation grew toward the west, new states were added and new stars appeared on the flag. For a long time, there were 48 stars. In 1959, however, two more stars were added to the flag, representing the new states of Alaska and Hawaii.Indians were the first people of the land which is now the United States. There are still many thousands of Indians now living in all parts of the country. Sometimes it is said that the Indians are “the only real Americans”. Most Americans come from all over the world. Those who came first in greatest numbers to make their homes to the eastern coast of North American were mostly from England.

The Scottish lie to be different. They are also proud of their country and its history and they feel that the kilt is part of that history. Thats why the men still wear kilts at oldstyle dances and on national holiday. They believe they are wearing the same clothes that Scottish men always used to wear.That is what they believe. However, kilts are not really so old. Before 1730, Scottish men wore a long skirt and blanket around their shoulders. These clothes got in the way when the men started to work in factories. So, in 1730 a factory owner changed the blanket into skirtthe kilt. That is how the first kilt was made.Then, in the late1700s Scottish soldiers in the British Army began to wear kilts. One reason for this was national sentiment. The Scottish soldiers wanted to look different from the English soldiers. The British Army probably had a different reason. A Scottish soldier in a kilt was always easy to find. The Scottish soldiers fought very hard and became famous. The kilt was part that fame, and in the early 1800s men all around Scottish began to wear kilts.These kilts had colorful stripes going up and down and across. In the 1700s and early 1800s, the color of the stripes had not special meaning. Men sometimes owned kilts in several different colors. But later the colors became important to the Scottish families. By about 1850, most families had special colors for their kilts. For example, men form the Campbell family had kilts with green, yellow and blue stripes. Scottish people often believe that the colors of the kilts are part of their family history. In fact, each family just chose the colors they liked best.This is not the story you will hear today if you are in Scotland. Most Scottish people still believe that kilts are as old as Scotland and that the colors are a
