Passage One

The nineteenth century brought about the GREatest expansion of wealth the world had ever known．Its sources lay in the industrialization of Europe and the techniques for assuring the continuance of this growth were by no means exhausted or compromised by 1900．There had not only been a vast and accelerating flow of commodities available only in tiny quantities a century before，but whole new ranges of goods had come into existence．Oil and electricity had joined coal，wood，wind and water as sources of energy．A chemical industry existed which could not have been envisaged（想象）in 1800． Growing power and wealth had been used to tap seemingly inexhaustible natural resources，both agricultural and mineral．Railways，electric trams，steamships，motor cars and bicycles gave millions of men a new control over their environment；they accelerated travel from place to place and eased transport for the first time since animals had been harnessed to carts thousands of years before．In terms of consumption，or of the services to which they had access，or in the en- joyment of better health，even the mass of the population in developed countries were much better off in 1900 than their predecessors（前辈） a hundred years before．

In spite of this cheerful picture，doubts could break in．Even if what might happen in the future were ignored，contemplation of the cost of the new wealth and doubts about the social justice of its distribution were troubling．Most people were still terribly poor，whether or not they lived in rich countries where the illogicality of this was particularly more striking than in earlier times．Another change in the way men thought about their condition arose over their power to get a livelihood at all．It was not new men should be without work．What was new was that situations should suddenly arise in which the operation of blind forces of boom and slump producedmillions of men without work concentrated in GREat towns．This was“unemployment”，a new phenomenon for which a new word had been needed．Nor were the cities themselves able to get rid of all the evils which had so struck the first observers of industrial society．By 1900 the majority of western Europeans were towndwellers，and they lived in more than 140 cities of over 100，000 inhabitants by 1914．In some of them，millions of people were cramped， ill-housed，under-provided with schools and fresh air，let alone amusement other than that of the street，and this often in sight of the wealth their society helped to produce．“Slum s”was another word invented by the nineteenth century．

1）Oil and electricity became available as sources of energy __________．

A．after 1900   B．before 1900

C．in about 1800  D．in about 1900

2）In the 19th century travel became _________．

A．cheaper and easier  B．cheaper and faster

C．cheaper，easier and faster  D．faster and easier

3）In 1900life was better for _________．

A．everyone in the world  B．most people in Europe

C．only the rich  D．non-Europeans

4）Before 1900 very large numbers of men were_________．

A．always without work   B．never without work

C．often without work   D．rarely without work

5）The word“slums”was invented to describe_________．

A．bad housing B．poverty  C．unemployment D．wealth

Passage Two

How men first learnt to invent words is unknown；in other words，the origin of language is a mystery．All we really know is that men， unlike animals，somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings，actions and things，so that they could communicate with each other；and that later they aGREed upon certain signs，called letters，which could be combined to represent those sounds，and which could be written down．Those sounds，whether spoken or written in letters we call words．

The power of words，then，lies in their associations—the things they bring up before our minds．Words become filled with meaning for us by experience；and the longer we live，the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past；and the more we read and learn，the more the number of words that mean something to us increases．

GREat writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions．This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style．Above all，the real poet is a master of words．He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music，and which by their position and association can move men to tears．We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately，or they will make our speech silly and vulgar（粗俗的）．

6）One of the reasons why men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and actions was that _________．

A．they could combine them  B．they could write them down

C．they could aGREe upon certain signs  D．they could communicate with each other

7）The real power of words consists in their_________．

A．properties B．characteristics

C．peculiarity D．representative function

8）In expressing their thoughts，GREat writers are able _________．

A．to confound the readers   B．to move men to tears

C．to influence our actions  D．to effect our feelings

9）Which of the following statements about the real poet is NOT TRUE？

A．He can move men to tears．

B．His style is always charming．

C．He is no more than a master of words．

D．He can convey his ideas in words which sing like music．

10）We can make our speech refined and polished _________．

A．by using words at random

B．by using bombastic words

C．by using words with care and accuracy

D．by using resounding words

2．翻译文中划线部分的句子。

Everyone has creative ability to some extent．1）Creative thinking involves posing oneself a problem and then originating or inventing a solution along new and unconventional lines．It involves drawing new analogies，discovering new combinations，and ／or new applications of things that are already known．2）It follows，then，that a creative person will exhibit GREat intellectual， curiosity and imagination．He will be alert and observant with a great store of information which he will be able to sort out and combine，in the solution of problems．He will be emotionally receptive to new and unconventional ideas and will be less interested in facts than in their implications．Most important of all he will be able to communicate uninhibitedly（毫无约束地）and will not be too concerned about other people's reaction to his apparently‘crazy’notions．People called the Wright brothers mad but it did not stop them from becoming the first men to construct and fly a heavier-than-air craft．
