21、Before 1815 producing in the United States had been done in homes or shops by skilled artisans(工匠). As master craft workers, they passed on the knowledge of their trades to apprentices and journeymen. In addition, women often worked in their homes part­time, making finished articles from raw material supplied by merchant capitalists. After 1815 this older form of producing began to give way to factories with machinery tended by unskilled or semiskilled laborers. Cheap transportation networks, the rise of cities, and the availability of capital and credit all stimulated(刺激) the shift to factory production.

The factory changed that. Goods produced by factories were not as finished or elegant as those done by hand, and pride in craftsmanship(工艺) gave way to the pressure to increase rates of productivity. The new methods of doing business involved a new and stricter sense of time. Factory life necessitated a more rigid schedule, where work began at the sound of a bell and workers kept machines going at a constant pace.

The first generation to experience these changes did not adopt the new attitudes easily. The factory clock became the symbol of the new work rules. One mill worker who finally quit complained revealingly about “obedience(服从) to the ding­dong of the bell­just as though we are so many living machines”. With the loss of personal freedom also came the loss of standing in the community.

In this newly appearing economic order, workers sometimes organized to protect their rights and traditional ways of life. Craft workers such as carpenters, printers, and tailors formed unions, and in 1834 individual unions came together in the National Trades' Union. The labor movement made progress in the decade before the Panic of 1837, but in the depression that followed, labor's strength collapsed. During hard times, few workers were willing to strike or engage in collective action. And skilled craft workers, who led the union movement, did not feel a particularly strong bond with semiskilled factory workers and unskilled laborers. More than a decade of agitation(抗议) did finally bring a workday shortened to 10 hours to most industries by the 1850's, and the courts also recognized workers' right to strike, but these gains had little immediate impact.

Workers were united in feeling angry or upset about the industrial system and their loss of status, but they were divided by ethnic and racial antagonisms(对立), gender, conflicting religious perspectives, occupational differences, political party loyalties, and disagreements over tactics(策略). For them, the factory and industrialism were not agents of opportunity but reminders of their loss of independence and a measure of control over their lives. As United States society became more specialized and differentiated, greater extremes of wealth began to appear. And as the new markets created fortunes for the few, the factory system lowered the wages of workers by dividing labor into smaller and less skilled tasks.

【1】What can be inferred from the passage about articles produced before 1815?

A. They were primarily produced by women.

B. They were generally produced in shops rather than in homes.

C. They were produced mostly in large cities with large transportation networks.

D. They were produced with more concern for quality than for speed of production.

【2】What does the complaint from a mill worker in Paragraph 3 convey?

A. Clocks did not have a useful function in factories.

B. It was difficult for workers to adjust to working in factories.

C. Factories were most successful when workers revealed their complaints.

D. Workers sometimes quit because of the loud noise made by factory machinery.

【3】The author identifies political party loyalties, and disagreements over tactics as two of several factors that ________.

A. created divisions among workers

B. caused work to become more specialized

C. encouraged workers to demand higher wages

D. increased worker's complaint of the industrial system

22、Not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean, an S-shaped body of water covering

33 million square miles. The Atlantic has, in a sense, replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization. Unlike real inland seas, which seem strangely still, the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness. It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.

  “Storm at Sea”, a short poem written around 700, is generally regarded as one of mankind’s earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.

 When the wind is from the west

 All the waves that cannot rest

 To the east must thunder on

 Where the bright tree of the sun

 Is rooted in the ocean’s breast.

  As the poem suggests, the Atlantic is never dead and dull. It is an ocean that moves, impressively and endlessly. It makes all kinds of noise-it is forever thundering, boiling, crashing, and whistling.

 It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath-perhaps not so noticeably out in mid-ocean, but where it meets land, its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach. It mimics(模仿)nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature. It is filled with symbiotic existences, too: unimaginable quantities of creatures, little and large alike, mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony, giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat, a kind of sub-ocean vitality. And it has a psychology. It has personalities: sometimes peaceful and pleasant, on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking.

【1】 Unlike real inland seas, the Atlantic Ocean is __________.

A. always energetic   B. lacking in liveliness

C. shaped like a square   D. favored by ancient poets

【2】 What is the purpose of using the poem “Storm at Sea” in the passage?

A. To describe the movement of the waves. 

B. To show the strength of the storm.

C. To represent the power of the ocean. 

D. To prove the vastness of the sea.

【3】What does the underlined word “symbiotic” mean?

A. Living together.   B. Growing fast.

C. Moving harmoniously.   D. Breathing peacefully.

【4】In the last paragraph, the Atlantic is compared to __________.

A. a beautiful and poetic place 

B. a flesh and blood person

C. a wonderful world 

D. a lovely animal

23、For years, doctors have given blood to patients who need it to survive. These “transfusions” (输血) usually involve giving red blood cells to patients. Red blood cells do an important job: they take oxygen from the lungs and spread it through the body. People who suffer from some diseases need extra red blood cells to remain healthy.

The blood used in transfusions comes from people who donate blood. Since our bodies are always making more red blood cells, donating blood doesn’t cause problems for the person giving it. There is a constant demand for blood transfusions, and there are often shortages.

For the first time ever, scientists’ are testing red blood cells grown in a laboratory on human volunteers. The new trial is being carried out in the United Kingdom. The project is being run by the National Health Service’s Blood and Transplant unit and the University of Bristol, along with other universities.

What’s new in the experiment is that people are being given red blood cells that were created in a laboratory. The scientists used stem cells(干细胞) from a blood sample to grow billions of brand new red blood cells. The new red blood cells can be adjusted for people with different blood types. Also, the red blood cells created are brand new, meaning they last longer.

To test the safety of the lab—grown red blood cells, researchers have given a couple of teaspoon of lab—created blood to two healthy people. Both people seem to be doing just fine after the transfusions. In all, the red blood cells from the lab will be tested on 10 people, and compared to normal transfusions.

The new process isn’t expected to replace normal blood transfusions, which will remain hugely important. Growing red blood cells in a lab is extremely expensive. And a lot of work and testing still needs to be done. But if it’s successful, in the future the process could make life much easier for patients who often need transfusions—even those with rare blood types.

【1】Why do the scientists grow new red blood cells in laboratory?

A．Because the donated blood is unsafe.

B．Because it is hard to get donated blood.

C．Because there isn’t always enough blood.

D．Because more patients need blood to survive.

【2】What is the feature of the lab-grown red blood cells?

A．They can be used flexibly.

B．They can be kept alive for ever.

C．Their production cost is low.

D．They can be easier for transfusion.

【3】What is the attitude of the author towards the process of the tests?

A．Objective.

B．Doubtful.

C．Negative.

D．Positive.

【4】What is the best title for the text?

A．Scientists test blood grown in a laboratory

B．New red blood cells shine lights on patients

C．Lab-created blood will replace donated blood

D．The shortages of blood will be gone for ever

24、The Undergoing Welfare Reform

While still in its early stages, welfare reform has already been judged a great success in many states -- at least in getting people off welfare. It's estimated that more than 2 million people have left the rolls since 1994.

In the past four years, welfare rolls in Athens County have been cut in half. But 70 percent of the people who left in the past two years took jobs that paid less than $6 an hour. The result: The Athens County poverty rate still remains at more than 30 percent -- twice the national average. For advocates for the poor, that's an indication that much more needs to be done.

"More people are getting jobs, but it's not making their lives any better," says Kathy Lairn, a policy analyst at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities in Washington.

A center analysis of US Census data nationwide found that last year, a greater percentage of single, female-headed households were earning money on their own, but that average income for these households actually went down.

But for many, the fact that poor people are able to support themselves almost as well without government aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victory.

"Welfare was a poison. It was a toxin that was poisoning the family," says Robert Rector, a welfare-reform policy analyst. "The reform is changing the moral climate in low-income communities. It's beginning to rebuild the work ethic, which is much more important."

Mr. Rector and others argued that once "the habit of dependency is cracked," then the country can make other policy changes aimed at improving living standards.

【1】Why don't people enjoy their lives better when they get jobs?

A．Because they are used to relying on welfare to make livings.

B．Because the cost of living is higher than before.

C．Because many families are not satisfied with their income.

D．Because their wages are very low.

【2】From the passage we know that the reconstruction of is the core of the reform.

A．government aids

B．work ethic

C．welfare funds

D．moral awareness

【3】From the example of the Athens Country, we know great efforts should be made for the poor to ________.

A．improve their living standards

B．help them be employed

C．get them off welfare.

D．increase their wage

【4】From the passage, it can be inferred that the author .

A．is completely certain about the success of welfare reform

B．thinks that welfare reform has done little good for the poor

C．considers welfare reform successful on the whole

D．insists welfare reform has increased the government's burden
