Ella Fitzgerald has made several different styles her own. She was born in Virginia but was brought up in an orphanage in Yonkers, New York. Chick Webb spotted her in an amateur competition when she was sixteen. He engaged her to sing with his band., and when he died in 1939 she took over.Unlike Bessic Smith. Ella Fizgerald taught herself the sentimental music so popular in the 1930'5 - songs like "My Heart Belongs to Daddy"-and her recordings became best - sellers. During the 1940'5 she developed her own "scat singing" - a breathless. nonsenses - syllable style-for songs like "Flying Home" and "Lady Be Good."Ella Fitzgerald was the perfect musical partner for her friend, the trumpeter Louis Armstrong, matching him in warmth and artistry. "I just like music, period." she has said. "To me, it's a story There's only one thing better than singing… it's more singing."1.Where did Fitzqerald spend most of her childhood?(A) Virginia(B) Yonkers(C) New York City(D) Louisiana2.Who was the first to discover Ella Fitzgerald's talent?(A) Fitzgerald's father(B) Louis Armstrong(C) Bessie Smith(D) Chick Webb3.The word "spotted" (line 3) means(A) noticed(B) stained(C) in the spotlight(D) of different colors4.When Fitzgerald was sixteen, Chick Webb asked her to(A) marry him(B) hire him(C) take over his band(D) perform with his band5.According to the passage.

Once the new lens becameavailable, it suddenly became possible to see a rather interesting effect bycombining two lenses. We now know that there are many different things that canbe done with a pair of lenses. Both the Keplerian telescope and the microscope usecombinations of perfectly focused convex lenses. The Galilean type of telescopebegan with the idea that as soon as you hold a powerful concave lens to the eyeand a simple weak convex lens at arm' 5 length, the clock in the church towerjumps out at you. Many artisans from around the world enjoyed that illusion in theearly 1600's, but it was two lens grinders from Middelburg in the Low Countrieswho first decided to market the telescope as a military invention, a device forspying on enemy armies. In fact, the telescope's narrow field of vision made it anunlikely spying device - but the two lens grinders thought they could sell it anyway.When the telescope was used militarily centuries later, it was used, not for spying,but for signaling.1.Which of the following is the main topic of this passage?(A) Grass lathes(B) Innovative signaling equipment(C) Early uses of lenses(D) Galileo and Kepier2.According to the passage the invention of the glass lathe made it possible to produce thefirst(A) thin concave lenses(B) thick concave lenses(B) thin convex lenses(C) thick convex lenses3.The passage indicates that convex lenses in combination were used in(A) the Keplerican telescope and the microscope(B) microscopes and perspective glasses(C) perspective glasses and signaling(D) the military telescope and the Keplerian telescope4.The clause "the clock in the church tower jumps out at you" in lines II – 12mentioned to illustrate the effect of a(A) perspective glass(B)Galilean telescope(C) spying device(D) Kepierian telescope5. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage about the telescope developed inMiddelburg?(A) It was made without grinding lenses.(B) It proved to Le valuable for military spying.(C) Clockmakers around the world copied many of its features.(D) Initial attempts at marketing it were not very successful.Passage 3　The term "satellite city is used to describe the relationship between a large city and neighboring smaller cities and towns that are economically dependent upon it. Satellite cities may be collection and distribution points in the commercial linkages of a trading metropolis, or they may be manufacturing or mining centers existing with one - industry economics as the creatures of some nearby center. This latter form is what is generally meant when one uses the term "satellite city." Taken in this sense, nineteenth - century Chicopee and Lowell, Massachusetts, were satellites of Boston. Both were mill towns created by Boston investors to serve the economy of that New England metropolis. Located on cheap land along water - power sites in the midst of a farming region that could supply ample labor, they were satellites in the fullest sense of the term. Pullman, Illinois, and Gary, Indiana, were likewise one - industry towns created in conjunction with the much broader economy of nearby Chicago. Such places, as Vera Schlakman and Stanley Buder have pointed out in their excellent urban biographies, had a one-dimensional quality, a paucity of social vigor. These cities could not stand alone; they were in a sense colonies of a multifunctional mother city.1. Which of the following is characteristic of a satellite city?(A) It is a self - sufficient community.(B) It offers cheap land to people.(C) It tends to concentrate on a single product.(D) It lies within a space station orbiting Earth.2. According to the passage Chicopee and Lowell were ideal locations for the development oftowns because they had(A) fully developed electric power plants (B) an adequate number of workers(C) farmland that would not be flooded　(D) extremely rich investors 3.The author describes each of the following as being economically dependent on another cityEXCEPT(A) Chicopee, Massachusetts(B) Lowell, Massachusetts(C) Pullman, Illinois(D) Chicago, Illinois4. It can be inferred from the passage that Vera Schlakman and Stanley Buder are(A) authors(B) investors(C) social workers(D) factory workers5. It can be inferred from the passage that Vera Sohlakman and Stanley Buder woulddescribe the economics of towns like Puliman and Gary as(A) diversified(B) dependent(C) vigorous(D) primitivePassage 4Three years of research at an abandoned coal mine in Argonne Illinois, have resulted in findings that scientists believe can help reclaim thousands of mine disposal sites that scar the coal-rich regions of the United States. In a pilot reclamation protect, they tested the growth possibilities of eight species of plants in the old mine's huge pile of acidic and toxic wastes.The researchers applied ground limestone, put a thin layer of topsoil on it, and sowed theplant seeds on the refuse, consisting of waste coal, rock, clay, and mining debris. Initially.the plots were dominated by invading annual weeds, but in the second and third growing seasons desirable grasses and other plants became well-established The scientists' findings are believed to be the first step toward restoring some 22, 500 acres of coal refuse sites in Illinois and thousands of acres in other states.1. What is the main topic of the passage.(A) Abandoned coal mines(B) Reclamation of a mine disposal site(C) New species of plants(D) Regions where coal has caused scars2.

What happened during the first year of the study(A)The grasses became well established.(B)Weeds took over the area.(C)The soil became too acidic.(D)Plants were unable to grow.6. It can be inferred from the passage that in the United States, abandoned coal mines exist(A) primarily in Illinois(B) in limited numbers(C) in several states (D)near operational mines7 It can be inferred from the passage that widespread applications of the scientists' findings should lead to(A) less coal being mined(B) new varieties of grasses(C) more refuse sites(D)less barren land　Passage 5When the persuading and the planning for the Western railroads had finally been completed, the really challenging task remained: the danoerous, sweaty, backbreaking, brawling business of actually building the lines. The men who took Ii on comprised the most cosmopolitan work crew in American history. They included Civil War veteran and freed slaves, Irish andGerman immigrants. Mormons and atheists. Shoshonis. Palutes, Washos. and Chinese.At the peak of their labors, the work crews laid two to five miles of track a day. The men filled ravines. ran spidery trestles across rivers and valleys, and punched holes throughmountains. And they did alt these jobs largely by their own muscle power. Flaicars carried rails to within half a mile of the railhead; there the iron was loaded onto carts. An eyewitnessdescribed the procedure: 'A light car, drawn by a single horse, gallops up to the front with its load of rails. Two men seize the end of a rail and start forward. the rest of the gang taling hold by twos Until it is clear of the car. They come forward at a run. At the word of command.the rail is dropped in its place. right side up Less than thirty seconds to a rail for each gang.and so four rails go down to the minute.',1.
