Robert Owen was born in Wales in 1771. At the age of ten he went to work. His employer had a large private library. So Owen was able to educate himself. He read a lot in his spare time and at nineteen he was given the job of superintendent (监工) at a Manchester cotton factory. He was so successful there that he persuaded his employer to buy the New Lanark factory in Scotland.

When he arrived at New Lanark, it was a dirty little town with a population of 2,000 people. Nobody paid any attention to the workers’ houses or their children’s education. The conditions in the factories were bad. There was much crime and the men spent most of their wages on alcoholic drinks.

Owen improved the houses. He encouraged people to be clean and save money. He limited the sale of alcoholic drinks. Above all, he fixed his mind on the children’s education. In 1816 he opened the first free primary school in Britain.

People came from all over the country to visit Owen’s factory. They saw that the workers were healthier. Their children were better fed and better educated. Owen tried the same experiment in the United States. He bought some land there in 1825, but the community was too far away. He could not keep it under control and lost most of his money.

Owen never stopped fighting for his idea. He was a practical man and his ideas were practical. ―If you give people good working conditions,‖ he thought, ―they will work well and, the most important thing of all, if you give them the chance to learn, they will be better people.‖

44. For Owen, his greatest achievement in New Lanark was _______.

A. improving the workers’ conditions B. giving the children a good education C. helping people with some money D. keeping men away from alcoholic drinks

a. Owen was given a job at a Manchester cotton factory. b. He opened the first free primary school in Britain. c. He went to work and educated himself.

d. Owen tried his ideal experiment in the United States.

Just like rice and noodles are different from bread, snacks in China are a world apart from those in the UK and the US. For one thing, I never imagined that sunflower seeds would be so popular here. I spotted people having them while waiting for table outside restaurants, before dinner and, of course, while watching TV. I also saw that a plate of sunflower seeds is always on offer during the Spring Festival holidays.

I had hardly tried sunflower seeds when I came to China. In the UK, though, young people love their snacks. In fact, young people in Britain eat more snacks than people of the same age in other European countries. A recent survey has discovered that 64% under 20-year-olds snack between meals, according to an article on the British Council website. In comparison, 58.7% young people snack in Germany, 63% in France, and 40.7% in Spain.

British snacks are generally unhealthy. Our favorites are probably potato chips, which we call crisp, and chocolate bars. From a very young age, we always looked forward to them after school.

Snacks are popular in the US. One of the things I found the most especial when I first visited the US was the number of snacks in the supermarkets. I was surprised to find huge passages just for snacks that were bigger than some stores I had been to in the UK.

All in all, it’s probably best for your health if you like sunflower seeds rather than potato chips and chocolate. But eating these delicious treats sometimes couldn’t possibly be wrong, could it?

48. The first paragraph is mainly about _____. A. snacks young Western people like

高一英语试题 第 4 页 共 10 页

C. different eating habits between the UK and the U.S D. the popular snacks abroad

49. According to the British Council, snacks are the least popular among young

people in _____.

A. Britain B. Germany C. France D. Spain 50. When the author went to supermarkets in the US, he was surprised most by_____. A. the large number of snacks B. the shapes of the snacks’ packages C. the price of different snacks D. the different tastes of the snacks 51. What is the author’ attitude towards the snacks? A. Disappointed. B. Positive. C. Negative. D. Doubtful.

D

Many people think that Americans are people who have no morals（道德）. That’s not true. Many people insist that ideas about right and wrong are just personal opinions. William J. Bennett, former U.S. Secretary of Education suggests that great moral stories can build character. The success of Bennett’s book shows that many Americans still believe in moral values. But what are they?

One of the most basic moral values for Americans is honesty. The well-known story about George Washington and the cherry tree teaches this value clearly. Little George cut down his father’s favorite cherry tree while trying out his new hatchet（斧头）. When his father asked him about it, George said, ―I cannot tell a lie. I did it with my hatchet.‖ Instead of punishment, George received praise for telling the truth. Sometimes American honesty—being open and direct can make people angry. But Americans still believe that ―Honesty is the best policy.‖

Another virtue （the quality of doing what is right） Americans respect is compassion （同情）. The story of ―The Good Samaritan‖ from the Bible describes a man who showed compassion. On his way to a certain city, a Samaritan man found a poor traveler lying on the road. The traveler had been beaten and robbed. The kind Samaritan, instead of just passing by, stopped to help this person in need. Compassion can even turn into a positive cycle. In the fall of 1992, people in Iowa sent truckloads of water to help Floridians hit by a hurricane. The next summer, during the Midwest flooding, Florida returned the favor.

A. Because his father did not care about the cherry tree at all. B. Because his father understood he wanted to try out his new hatchet. C. Because his father thought honesty is the most important thing. D. Because his father did not care about him at all.

development of life. 77 many scientists believe is that the continued presence of water allowed the earth to dissolve 78 (harm) gases and acids into the oceans and seas, which made it possible for life to develop.

Finally, human beings have become the most important animals on the planet. 79 they are not looking after the earth very well. They are putting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which prevents heat from 80 (escape) from the earth into space.
