The French governments have historically favored the city as the site for all decision-making, thus powerfully attracting nearly all of the nation’s activities.
小題2:Paris has grown steadily since it was chosen as the national capital in the late 10th century. With the introduction of the Industrial Revolution, a great number of people moved to the city from the country during the 19th century.

小題4:In the late 1980s about 4. 1 million pupils annually attended about 47, 000 elementary schools. In addition, about 5. 4 million students attended some 11, 200 secondary schools. Approximately 1. 2 million students were enrolled annually at universities and colleges in France in the late 1980s. French centers of learning have served as academic models throughout the world.
小題5:Paris is the leading industrial center of France, with about one quarter of the nation’s manufacturing concentrated in the metropolitan area. Industries of consumers’ goods have always been drawn to Paris by the enormous market of the big population, and modern, high technology industries also have become numerous since World WarⅡ. Chief manufactures are machinery, automobiles, chemicals and electrical equipment.

Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the length of the year, or manured(施肥)a field; but we know all about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so much so that on all the highest pillars (紀(jì)念柱) in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are those that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are, but they are not the most civilized.
  Animals fight; so do savages (野蠻人); hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in which an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and telling them how to do it most efficiently -this, after all, is what conquerors and generals have done -is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels.            Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some way of settling their disputes other than by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of the other side, and then saying that that side which has killed most has won. And it not only has won, but, because it has won, has been in the right. For that is what going to war means; it means saying that might is right.
  That is what the story of mankind has on the whole been like. Even our own age has fought the two greatest wars in history, in which millions of people were killed or disabled. And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets -while, that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life - nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages.
小題1:In the opening sentence the author indicates that ________.
A.conquerors, generals and soldiers should not be mentioned in history books.
B.history books focus more on those who helped civilization forward.
C.those who truly helped civilization forward is rarely mentioned in history books.
D.most history books were written by conquerors, generals and soldiers.
小題2:In the author’s opinion, the countries that ruled over a large number of other countries are           
A.certainly both the greatest and the most civilized
B.neither the most influential nor the most civilized.
C.possibly the most civilized but not the most powerful.
D.likely the greatest in some sense but not the most civilized.
小題3: The meaning of “it means saying that might is right.”(The last sentence of Paragraph 2) is that ________.
A.in a war only those who are powerful will win.
B.those who are right should fight against those who are wrong.
C.only those who are powerful have the right to go to war.
D.those who fight believe that the winner is right and the loser wrong.
小題4: In the third paragraph, what the author wants to convey to us is that ________.
A.we have fought fewer wars but suffered heavier casualties.
B.modern time is not so civilized compared with the past.
C.our age is not much better than those of the past.
D.World War I and World War II are different from previous wars.
小題5: According to the passage, who helped civilization forward?
A. The pioneers in science and technology.

C. Those setting disputes by force.
The experts in military matters
小題6: This passage is most likely taken from an article entitled ________.

To Chinese immigrants, in the mid-1800s, California was “The Land of the Golden Mountain.” In their homeland they had heard the words, “There’s gold in California.” They sailed 7,000miles to join the gold rush and strike it rich. Between 1849 and 1882, more than 30,000 Chinese came to California. Most were men. They had been farmers in China. They came here to be miners and laborers. They ended up doing many other jobs, too.
Like many other immigrants, they did not plan to stay in America. They came because of their ties to their homeland and their families. They planned to return to China with their fortunes and help their families.
Only a few Chinese gold miners struck it rich. Most picked over the areas that had been mined already. But still, white miners resented the Chinese. Slowly, they drove the “yellow peril” from the mining camps.
By the end of the 1850s, many Chinese returned home. Those who stayed found other jobs.
Few women had come west in the gold rush. The Chinese saw a good business opportunity. They began doing the jobs women would have done. Many became house servants. Many more opened  laundries.
The Chinese opened restaurants. Chop suey and show mein are popular Chinese-American dishes. The Chinese probably created these dishes to serve to the white miners.
Other Chinese became fishermen, farmers, and even cigar makers.
1. Why did Chinese go to America in the mid-1800s?
A. Because they could find good jobs there.   B. Because they had found gold there.
C. Because they could open laundries and restaurants there.
2. The underlined word “resented” mean “________”.  
A. liked                        B. helped               C. hated                    D. served

A. Early Chinese immigrants in America     B. Dream to strike it rich

Hi, everybody. Over the past couple months, most of the political headlines you’ve read have probably been about the government shutdown and the launch of the Affordable Care Act(平價醫(yī)療法案). And I know that many of you have rightly never been more frustrated with Washington.
But if you look beyond those headlines, there are some good things happening in our economy. And that’s been my top priority(優(yōu)先考慮)since the day I walked into the Oval Office.
After decades in which the middle class was working harder and harder just to keep up, and a punishing recession(衰退)that made it worse, we made the tough choices required not just to recover from crisis, but to rebuild on a new foundation for stronger, more durable economic growth.
Five years later, we have fought our way back. Our businesses have created 7.8 million new jobs in the past 44 months. Another 200,000 Americans went back to work last month.
The American auto industry has come back with more than 350,000 new jobs –-- jobs putting out and selling the high-tech, fuel-efficient cars the world wants to buy. And they’re leading the charge in a business that has added jobs for the first time since the 1990s –-- a big reason why our businesses sell more goods and services “Made in America” than ever before.
We decided to stop our addiction to foreign oil. And today, we produce more renewable energy than ever, more natural gas than anybody, and for the first time in nearly 20 years, America now produces more oil than we buy from other countries.
We decided to fix a broken health care system. And even though the task has been rough, so far, about 500,000 Americans gain health coverage starting January 1st. And by the way, health care costs are growing at the slowest rate in 50 years.
And one more thing: since I took office, we’ve cut our deficits (赤字) by more than half. And that makes it easier to invest in the things that create jobs –-- education, research, and so on.
Imagine how much farther along we could be if both parties were working together. Think about what we could do if the few didn’t hold the economy hostage (人質(zhì)) every few months, or waste time on dozens of votes to repeal the Affordable Care Act rather than try to help us fix it.
In the weeks ahead, I’ll keep talking about my plan to build a better bargain for the middle class. Good jobs. A good education. A chance to buy a home, save, and retire. And yes, the financial security of affordable health care. And I’ll look for any willing partners who want to help.
Because of your hard work and tough sacrifices over the past five years, we’re pointed in the right direction. But we’ve got more work to do to keep moving that way. And as long as I’m President, I’ll keep doing everything I can to create jobs, grow the economy, and make sure that everyone who works hard has a chance to get ahead. Thanks, and have a great weekend.
小題1:Which of the following is not the reason for people’s frustration with the government?
A.The government shutdown
B.Unemployment rate
C.The addiction to foreign oil
D.Cancelling the Affordable Care Act
小題2:Why does the president mention more goods and services “Made in America”?
A.To show that American goods and services are very popular.
B.To indicate that American people should be dependent on themselves.
C.To show that the employment rate has been increased.
D.To show that American auto industry enjoys high technology.
小題3:What’s the meaning of the underlined word “repeal”?
A.put an end toB.try hard to fixC.make strongerD.get accustomed to
小題4:According to the speech, which of the following can be implied?
A.American people have every reason to feel frustrated with the government.
B.Health care costs are growing at the slowest rate in 50 years.
C.The president feels sorry that the economy is not moving in the right direction.
D.Some government officials don’t agree with the president on the medical care system.
