The First Americans
There was a time long ago when a land bridge connected Asia and North America. The first settlers in North America crossed this land bridge from what is now Siberia to Alaska. The people who made this initial crossing were probably following the animals they used for food.
Finally, the oceans rose and the land bridge between the continents disappeared. The settlers, who I shall call the “First Americans”, could not return to their homeland.
For the next few thousand years, the First Americans moved south and east throughout North and South America. They made the journey all the way from Alaska to the southern tip of South America, a distance of more than 10,000 miles.
In the far north, above the Arctic Circle, the First Americans became hunters of the ocean.In the summer, they gathered berries and other plants. In the winter, they stayed in lodges much of the time preparing for the next summer. It was a hard life, but they learned to survive in these terrible conditions.
Farther south, in what is now Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico, the First Americans became cliff dwellers. They began by living in caves that already existed in the cliffs.The dwellings they built in many ways resembled today's apartment buildings.
They built a system of dams and canals so they could store and use water almost any time of the year. They were so successful that they could raise fruits and vegetables that were not found naturally in the desert.
A.They also discovered foods like corn and potatoes.
B.Along the way, they established many different civilizations.
C.They discovered how to add to the caves by building structures of wood and stone.
D.People living near each other tended to share similar environments and customs.
E.They built boats of animal skins and hunted or fished for their food.
F.They would have to survive in the New World they had discovered.
G.The First Americans of the Southwest learned to water the desert.

(3)考查對上下文的理解和推理判斷能力。根據(jù)空前“In the far north, above the Arctic Circle, the First Americans became hunters of the ocean”說明他們求生的方法就是捕獵,故E項符合上下文。

【題目】閱讀理解
Italy is one country where beauty is prized more than any other virtue(美德). That is, except in the small town of Piobbico, the self-declared World Capital of Ugly People. The road sign at the edge of the town even warns visitors that they are entering the ugly zone. People who consider themselves ugly have been gathering in Piobbico since the 1960s. That's when Ugly Club president Telesforo Lacobelli established a dating agency for women who believed they were too ugly to attract husbands. Lacobelli believes that he is ugly himself because he has a short nose in a country where long or large noses have always been considered beautiful.
People from around the world travel to Piobbico to tell their sad stories of ugliness. During the annual Festival of the Ugly, which occurs on the first Sunday of every September, hundreds of people gather in Piobbico's town square to elect the president of the Ugly Club. Lacobelli wins the election every year. The Ugly Club has over 20, 000 members. They carry ID cards that grade their ugliness from bearable to extreme. A prize is awarded to Ugly Club members who qualify as extremely ugly.
The Ugly Club president insists that ugliness is a virtue. Since beautiful people get a lot of attention for their beauty alone, they have to work hard to prove their other virtues. Ugly people, on the other hand, are genuine and do not have to prove anything to anybody, according to Lacobelli.
Lacobelli is a spokesperson for ugly people everywhere. He believes that the uglier one is, the better life can be. Though the club enjoys making fun of beauty, especially beauty contests, Lacobelli has a serious side as well. He believes that too many people suffer from financial and emotional pressures because they don't meet society's standards of beauty. The fact that beautiful people are more successful in the workforce is a problem that Lacobelli has attempted to bring forward to the Italian public and government.
(1)Piobbico is rather special in that_________ .
A.it is a very small town
B.it is home to ugly people
C.it receives no visitors
D.it is the capital of Italy
(2)Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Ugly people are most respected in Italy.
B.The Festival of the Ugly is held every two years.
C.Ugly people are unfairly treated in society.
D.The uglier one is, the better life he or she lives.
(3)Why is Lacobelli elected the president of the Ugly Club every year?
A.Because he is the ugliest person in the whole world.
B.Because his ugliness is always graded as bearable.
C.Because he is a spokesperson for ugly people everywhere.
D.Because he was won the member's trust and admiration.
(4)Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.The Ugly Capital of the World
B.The Ugliest Person of the World
C.Festival of the Ugly
D.Beauty Contests Should be Banned.

【題目】One of the two major types of smog - consisting of smoke fog, sulfur dioxide (二氧化硫), sulfuric acid, ash, and soot (煤煙) -is called London smog. Indeed, the word smog is thought to have originated in England in 1905 as a short form of the words “smoke” and “fog.”

Probably the worst case of smog in history started in London on Thursday, 4 December, 1952. 1 A temperature inversion (逆溫) placed a blanket of warm air over the cold air. With nightfall, a thick fog and below-freezing temperatures caused the people of London to put coal into their small stoves. Millions of these fires burned throughout the night, pouring sulfur dioxide and smoke into the air. The next day, Friday, the people continued to bum coal when the temperature remained below freezing.2

Saturday was a day of darkness. For twenty miles around London, no light came through the smog. The air was cold and still.3 On Monday, 8 December, more than one hundred people died of heart attacks while trying desperately to breathe.4

By the time a light wind cleared the air on Tuesday, 9 December, more than 4,000 deaths had been caused by the smog. This is more people than were ever killed in any single hurricane, mine disaster, shipwreck, or airplane crash.5 Air pollution events may not seem as serious and shocking as other disasters, but they can be just as deadly.

A. Where does “smog” come from?

B. Soot and ash can be removed in a scientific way.

C. And the coal fires continued to bum throughout the weekend.

D. A large cold air mass moved into the valley of the Thames River.

E. The factories added their smoke and chemical gas to the atmosphere.

F. This is more people than were killed in the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941.

G. The city’s hospitals were overflowing with patients with breathing-related diseases.
