Started in 1636, Harvard (哈佛) University is the oldest of all the colleges and universities in the United States. Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.

In the early years, these schools were nearly the same. Only young men went to college. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin and Greek. Little was known about science. And few people knew that one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers.

In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could study in Harvard’s law school. In 1825, besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began to teach modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began to teach American history.

As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.

Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are made up of smaller schools that deal with special fields of learning. There’s so much to learn that one kind of school can’t offer all.

In the 1920s and 30s the airlines were just beginning. It was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous. In those days, there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers. Young men ,or “stewards” helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers’ luggage(行李)but they did not provide food and drinks. But then in 1930,a woman called Ellen Church invented the “stewardess”.

Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iowa. She was a different child. She didn’t want to work on a farm or marry a farmer —she wanted a more adventurous(冒险的)life. Ellen studied to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. For the next few years she stayed at the hospital but also took flying lessons and got her pilot’s license.

Ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with Boeing Air Transport. She loved flying but she understood that airlines were a man’s world. Although women like Emelia Earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot .But she had another idea. Most people were frightened of flying because. flying was still an unreliable(不可靠的) way to travel.  There were often delays(延误),many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick. Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and B.A.T. agreed.

The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses.

At first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses. In 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for different airlines. The early “stewardesses” had to be under twenty-five-year-old, single and slim. When a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children. It was hard job and not well paid. They worked long hours and earned $1 an hour.

In the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes. Since the 1970s, “stewardesses” have been called flight attendants. They are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past.

1.The last sentence of the first paragraph suggests that _________.
A.the word “stewardess” was made up by Ellen Church
B.Ellen Church was the first woman who flew a plane
C.Ellen Church was the first woman who worked on a plane
D.Ellen Church was the first woman passenger on a plane
2.From the second paragraph, we learn that ________.
A.Ellen did not behave in the same way as most as other girls
B.Ellen’s family was not rich enough to support her education
C.Ellen was fond of working as a nurse in the hospital
D.Ellen has an unhappy childhood that changed her completely
3.The main reason for Boeing Air Transport offering Ellen the job was ________.
A.her flying experience
B.her university education
C.her nursing experience
D.her life attitudes
4.According to the passage, in the 1940s a woman had to ________ if she wanted to be a stewardess.
A.be a nurse
B.be married
C.be a mother
D.be young
5.The passage mainly talks about _______.
A.the background of early flying pilots
B.the experience of flying passengers
C.the history of early flight attendants
D.the development of airplanes

四、任务型阅读

The geese are back

    Canada geese do not live only in Canada. They spend spring and summer in Alaska(阿拉斯加州) and northern(北方的) Canada. In autumn, many of the geese migrate (迁徙) to warmer places. They usually fly to northern Mexico(墨西哥), but lately many began to fly to the south of the USA. This may be because it is warmer there now than it was in the past.

    Canada geese fly very fast. They can fly as fast as 100 kilometres per hour. The geese usually travel in groups of about 100, but groups of 1,000 are common. On cloudy days, the geese will fly lower, but on sunny days they can fly as high as 2,500 metres.

    Canada geese know when to migrate by checking how long and how warm the days are. They also wait until the young geese learn to fly. When the day becomes shorter and the temperature (气温) gets lower, they know it is time to leave. This is usually at the end of August. A few days before leaving, all the geese get very excited. They start honking(雁叫)and making a lot of noise.

    The Canada geese make a "V" shape in the sky when they fly south. This helps them fly more easily through the air. The first goose pushes through the air, and this makes it easier for the other geese to follow. Each goose takes a turn to be the first goose.

    No one is sure how the geese find their way. Some scientists think that geese use the stars at night to help them know where they are.

5.答案：clearly

六、

答案：①answering ②Where ③they ④came down ⑤completely

解析：①考查动词形式。 mind doing sth意为"介意做某事"。

②考查疑问副词。观众回答是"正在 Central购物"，提问可能有两种情况，要么是问在干什么，用" Where were you doing when...?"要么就是问所在的地点，用" Where were you when...?"相比对话句型，可以知道这里是问当时所在地点。

③考查代词。 tell sb sth意为"告诉某人某事"，这里的tell后面的直接宾语是一个宾语从句，从句中缺少主语，故填they。

④考查动词短语。本句缺少的是谓语动词，在所有的选项中只有 came down可以作为句子的谓语动词;结合上句问的是飞鸟都做了些什么，知道本句的意思是"飞鸟飞下来落到广场，在那里待了15分钟后飞走了"。故填 came down。

⑤考查副词。因为许多飞鸟的降落使得交通被迫完全（completely）中断，只好报警求助。本句属于主语加不及物动词的句型结构，此空用副词来修饰谓语动词 stopped。故填 completely。

七、

答案：

Dear sir,

I read your ad in the newspaper last Sunday. Now I'm writing to tell you I'd like to become a member of Wildlife Protection Society.

I am a student from Grade 8. I'm in good health. I am kind to animals and love nature. You can believe what I say. My favourite subjects are Science and Geography, and I'm also interested in bird watching and obsessed with studying wildlife. Last year I raised money for the project named Save China's Pandas. What's more, I wrote to newspapers and magazines about how to protect wild animals. I would like to become a member of Wildlife Protection Society because I enjoy the beauty of nature and like wildlife a lot. I am interested in reading about wildlife and I quite understand the importance of protecting wildlife. I want to do something to help wildlife and protect the nature.

I will be very happy if I can become a member of your club. You can call me on 010—8255668 or e-mail me at Helen @163.com.

Yours sincerely,

Helen
