2.On October 29,1929,the United States stock market crashed.In the days that followed,banks and businesses closed,the number of the unemployed workers rose to 15million,and many people lost their savings.As the economic crisis wore on,it became known as the Great Depression.It left many people feeling anxious and uncertain about the future.
Within days of his inauguration(就職典禮) in 1933,President Franklin Delano Roosevelt(FDR) began taking steps to stabilize the banking system,support the economy,and provide jobs for unemployed workers.To keep the American public informed about the changes that were underway,he gave a series of radio addresses called fireside chats.FDR used these broadcasts to speak about a number of issues.The first of Roosevelt's fireside chats was delivered on Sunday,March 12,1933.His goal in this message was to explain the bank crisis in the United States.
He explained to American why banks had run out of money.Roosevelt assured people that their money was safe and that they could get their money when they really needed it.He said that most of the banks would be open the next day and that others would be open again very soon.His message's purpose was to restore American's confidence in their banking system.
Roosevelt's chats to America were popular with the people.Many looked forward to hearing what FDR had to say.The White House did not always tell the public whether a particular radio address was to be regarded as a fireside chat.As a result,there is some question about the exact number of these speeches.Twenty-eight such addresses were definitely identified,and two other radio addresses could have also been chats.
Roosevelt delivered his final fireside chat on June 12,1944.The focus was opening a fifth war-loan drive.He complimented the American people for supporting the war effort with the purchase of more than $32billion of war bonds.He encouraged them to buy more as the war effort continued to cost money every day,money that he confidently predicted would lead to final victory.

(Notes:Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
78.The crash of the United States stock market led to the Great Depression according to the passage.
79.What's the purpose of Roosevelt's fireside chats?To keep the American public informed about importance issues/messages/the changes
80.Roosevelt delivered his first fireside chat to assure people ofThe safety of their money.
81.Why did Roosevelt praise the American people in his final fireside chat?

分析 本文講述了美國經(jīng)濟大蕭條期間,總統(tǒng)羅斯福Roosevelt就職,并給了美國人度過困難的信心.

解答 78.The crash of the United States stock market 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第一段內(nèi)容可知,1929年美國股票崩盤,銀行倒閉,工人失業(yè),人民失去存款,進而導致了美國經(jīng)濟大蕭條.
79.To keep the American public informed about importance issues/messages/the changes細節(jié)理解題.第二段To keep the American public informed about the changes that were underway,he gave a series of radio addresses called fireside chats這句話告訴我們Roosevelt為了讓美國人了解正在進行的恢復經(jīng)濟的舉措而發(fā)表了fireside chats.
80.The safety of their money細節(jié)概括題.Roosevelt assured people that their money was safe and that they could get their money when they really needed it這句話可以看出總統(tǒng) Roosevelt發(fā)表第一次"爐邊談話"是為了確保美國人民的存在銀行的錢的安全.
81.Because they supported the war effort by buying war bonds信息概括題.最后一段He complimented the American people for supporting the war effort with the purchase of more than $32billion of war bonds這句可以看出最后一次發(fā)表演講主要是為了表揚美國人民在經(jīng)濟大蕭條期間對恢復經(jīng)濟所作出的貢獻.

點評 本文是人物故事類的閱讀表達,要求學生在閱讀理解的基礎(chǔ)上,根據(jù)短文后的題目,在文中找到相關(guān)的內(nèi)容,并用簡潔、準確的句子,將理解的內(nèi)容,書面表達出來.做題時,注意表達的內(nèi)容不要超出規(guī)定的字數(shù).

13.It's one way for a weasel (黃鼠狼) to get around:taking a ride on the back of a woodpecker (啄木鳥).In fact,the picture shows the bird's fight(61)for life after the flesh-eating weasel jumped onto  its back and attacked it.The extraordinary picture was taken by Martin Le-May,an amateur(62)photographer(photograph) who was out walking with his wife in Hornchurch Country Park,Essex.
"As we walked we heard a painful noise and I saw the flash of green,"said Mr Le-May,52."We trained our telescope and it occurred that the woodpecker was (63)unnaturally(natural) jumping about like it was standing (64)on a hot surface.The bird was about 50m away from us and took off just as I lifted the camera up.Originally,I(65)thought(think) I was just taking (66)a picture of a green woodpecker flying.Then I realized it had (67)something on its back.Suddenly it was obvious it had a small creature on its back and this was a struggle for life."
The bird was around two meters off the ground when Mr.Le-May caught it on camera.Happily,it managed (68)to shake (shake) off the weasel and fly up into the trees.
The picture became a hot topic when it was circulated on social media,with some Twitter users (69)saying(say) it could not be real.(70)But Matt Binstead,head keeper at the British Wildlife Centre,said:"You can tell it's a real photograph".

10.Last spring,employees of the Hartville Corporation organized a weeklong strike to protest poor working conditions and unreasonable company policies.A committee was organized to investigate circumstances that led to the strike.Here is part of the report.
●Hartville's overtime pay is well below the national level,and overtime is obliged at least once a week.
●Employees working in the manufacturing department have an alarmingly high rate of repetitive (重復的) stress injury.The equipment they are working with is extremely old and dangerous and does not meet current health and safety standards.The committee recommended that equipment be evaluated and brought up-to-date immediately.
●Sick and personal day policies are unclear.Employees report conflicting and/or confusing policies relating to sick and personal days,which have resulted in numerous misunderstandings about procedures and allowances as well as unfair punishment action.
●In the past four years,five pregnant women with clean work records were dismissed soon after their pregnancies were public.In all five cases,the reasons for firing were not specifically clear,although one of the employees was told by her immediate supervisor that new mothers make very unreliable employees.
●Hartville's upper management is largely unaware of the dissatisfaction of employees.Evidence shows that middle management delays vital information leading to upper management's underestimation of the seriousness of employee dissatisfaction.

65.Why do Hartville employees have a high rate of repetitive stress injury?C
A.Because the management policy is out of date.

D.they have not been trained in the latest management techniques

11.1.Ninety-five percent of people never succeed because they're following the wrong group.
2.A French scientist once made an experiment with caterpillars (毛蟲) looking for food.He led a group of caterpillars onto the edge of a large flowerpot so that the leader of the group found itself nose to tail with the last caterpillar,forming a circle without end or beginning.Out of habit,the ring of the caterpillars circled the flowerpot for seven days and seven nights until they died of starvation.In fact,plenty of food was close at hand,but it was outside the range of the circle,so the caterpillars continued along the wrong path.
3.           For example,if someone shouts,"Fire!"many people will follow the crowd blindly and many thousands have died because of it.How many stop to ask themselves:Is this really the best way out of here?
4.Most people follow the crowd because it seems easier to follow the mainstream than to deal with change on their own even when that change may represent freedom,achievement and success. A hard thing for them to fully understand is that people in such numbers can be wrong.People thought the earth was flat and later it was believed that the sun,stars and planets travelled around the earth.Both ideas are now considered ridiculous,but at the time they were believed by the majority of followers.
5.It's a good idea to step out of the line every once in a while and look around to see if the line is going where they want it to go.Success only favors those who think outside the box.

76.What is the best title for the text?(no more than 8words)Successful people rarely/seldom follow others.或Success favors those who stop and think.或Successful people always do things on their own.
77.How does the author support his ideas?(no more than 5words)By giving examples.
78.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3with proper words.(no more than 7words )People often behave in a similar way/the same way.
79.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4mean?( no more than 15words)It's difficult for most people to realize/know the crowd they follow can be wrong.或Most people find it hard to tell/realize they are following the wrong crowd.
80.Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5into Chinese.人們應該時而出列,觀察隊伍是否在沿著想要去的地方行進..
