31、ing products Brich resources Cindependence from Spain Dtwo primary means of transportationBJohn H. Johnson was born in a black family in Arkansas City in 1918. His father died in an accident when John was six. He was reaching the high school age, but his hometown offered no high school for blacks.Fo

32、rtunately he had a strong-willed caring mother. John remembered that his mother told him many times, “Son, you can be anything you really want to be if you just believe.” She told him not to depend on others, including his mother. “You have to earn success,” she said. “All the people who work hard d

33、ont succeed, but the only people who do succeed are those who work hard.”These words came from a woman with less than a third grade education. She also knew that believing and hard work dont mean everything. So she worked hard as a cook for two years to save enough to take her son, who was then 15,

34、to Chicago.Chicago in 1933 was not the promised land that black southerners were looking for. Johns mother and stepfather could not find work. But here John could go to school, and here he learned the power of words-as an editor of the newspaper and yearbook at Du Sable High School. His wish was to

35、publish a magazine for blacks.While others discouraged him, Johns mother offered him more words to live by: “Nothing beats a failure but a try. ” She also let him pawn(典当)her furniture to get the $500 he needed to start the Negro magazine for blacks.It is natural that difficulties and failures follo

39、he worsening global economic situation makes it difficult for China to predict its growth for next year, a senior official said on Friday.“How fast Chinas economy will grow next year is uncertain,” Liu He, deputy director of the Office of the Central Leading Group on Finance and Economy Work, told C

40、hina Daily.“To a large extent, the rate will be decided by the external situation,” Liu said during a discussion with Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt and other economists in Beijing.“This year, GDP is estimated to grow at 9.4 or 9.5 percent, down from 10.6 percent last year”, he said. “Howe

41、ver, the impact of the current financial turbulence (动荡) on our economy is much less than on the rest of the world”, he said.Nicholas Stern, a former UK government advisor, also told China Daily, “It will take at least one or two years for the world to recover from the recession, which is now spread

42、ing from the US and the UK to the rest of the world. We dont know how long the recession will last, but it is unlikely to be short,” he said.Liu said China can use the downturn as an opportunity to restructure its economy, which has relied heavily on government investment, foreign trade and low-cost

43、 technology over the past years.“When the economy is experiencing fast growth, companies are unwilling to upgrade their technologies, Liu said.“The slowdown gives such firms the opportunity to sharpen their competitive edge through better technologies.”63.

47、conomyD Today every independent country has a flag that gives them a unique identity. Usually there is a story and meaning behind each flag. The colours used on a national flag are not used simply because they look good-they usually symbolize something about the growth, values and culture of that co

48、untry. Sometimes colours mean the same thing in different cultures, but they can often mean different things to people in different cultures.The French flag, sometimes called the Tricolore, was first used in 1789, after the French Revolution The conclusion of the French Revolution led up to big chan

49、ges throughout the country. Before the Revolution, there was great unrest because people did not have freedom and had often been treated unfairly. Many people died of starvation. After the Revolution, people had far more freedom, and people were considered equal, and large numbers of people were no

50、longer starving.The colours red, white and blue used on the flag represent the principles of the Revolution-liberty, equality and friendship. Red represents bravery, revolution, strength and blood. All these things were needed to change the country. Blue stands for liberty and justice while white re

51、presents peace.Strengthened by the Revolution, France became a different country soon after, and today, it is still guided by those beliefs. That Frances revolution which was successful in ridding society of inequality had a big effect on many other countries, especially in Europe. Some countries el

52、ected to substitute their flags with tricolor flags, after the French. In this way, the French Tricolor has become one of the most influential national flags in history.The USA was also born from revolution, and its flag, the Stars and Stripes, represents this. The USA was originally an area owned a

53、nd occupied by Britain. At that time, there were thirteen states, which is far fewer than the fifty that make up todays USA. Some people are very unhappy with the bureaucratic way Britain ruled the country, and were quite outspoken about this. American taxpayers could no longer tolerate that they ha

54、d no say in the government. They desired independence, but the British opposed this. The Americans saw that their freedom was no longer optional and that their independence would not be won by being passive. On 4 July 1776, the American Declaration of Independence was signed. With this, the USA spli

55、t from Britain and became an autonomous nation with a federal government.The colours red, white and blue and the stars and stripes on the American flag are all very symbolic. Red represents strength and bravery; white represents purity and innocence; blue stands for hard work and justice. There are

56、fifty stars on the American flag, one for each state. The thirteen stripes represent the original thirteen states that joined together to fight for independence.Each year, on 4 July, the USA celebrates Independence Day when the Stars and Stripes can be seen all over the country, lit by fireworks in

57、the night sky.67. If a country is newly born in Europe from revolution, how would it be likely to design its national flag?A. In three colours, after the USA B. With stars and stripes.C. In three colours with stars and stripes. D. In three colours, following France.68. French Tricolore has become on

59、ubstitute flags with tricolor flags.69. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Red represents bravery and strength both in France and the USAB. Blue stands for liberty and justice in the USA but hard work and justice in France.C. Colours on national flags usually stand for special things o

60、f the countries.D. Generally every national flag has its own story.70. The passage is mainly about_A. national flags, colours and cultures B. different colours and culturesC. colours and national flags D. revolution, cultures and colours 卷 （共35分）第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题,每空一词，每小题1分，满分10分）Health researchers h

61、ave noticed that some groups of people are more consistently healthy than others, and wondered Is it race? Income? Where you live? In the United States, these disagreements in health outcomes have been the focus of intense research for the past several decades.Harvard University health policy resear

62、cher Ellen Meara says scholars have found some clues as to why some groups of people have more or less disease than others. She says one important factor in peoples health is the amount of education they have.In her most recent paper, Meara looked at data from the United States census. These counts

63、of people occur every 10 years. Meara and her colleagues examined data from several decades.“We looked at life expectancy（预测寿命）at age 25,” Meara says.“How many additional years can you expect to live if you arrive at age 25 and your education has stopped at high school, or sooner? Versus how many ye

64、ars, can you expect to live if youve reached aged 25 and youve gone on to at least some college”Meara says they found that in 1990, a 25-year-old who only had some secondary school could expect to live for a total of 75 years. In 2000, a 25 year old with some secondary education could also expect to

65、 live to the age of 75.In contrast, for a better educated 25-year-old, they could expect to live to the age of 80 in 1990. Someone with a similar education level in the year 2000, could expect to live to be more than 81 years, 81.6 years to be exact.Meara says, not only do better-educated people liv

66、e longer to begin with, but in the past ten years, more educated people has made gains in the length of their lives. Meanwhile, the life expectancy hasnt changed for less educated people.Some of these gains can be explained. Meara says researchers know that people who are more educated are more like

67、ly to quit smoking cigarettes, or not start at all, compared to people with less education.“I think its a reminder not to be satisfactory, Meara says. Just because a population overall appears to be getting healthier, it doesnt always mean that those advantages and successes that many people have en

68、joyed really extend into all parts of the population. And I think thats something to really pay attention to regardless of whether you live in the US or elsewhere.”Meara points out that education can often determine income - people with more education frequently make more money. This makes them awar

69、e of health care, and purchase other resources and services that can keep them healthier. But the data on income do NOT show that people who make more money are automatically healthier.Meara says education is key. People need to be educated in order to take advantage of opportunities for better heal
