本文介紹了Harriet Tubman幫助黑奴逃跑的事跡。

1. A因為她是黑奴所以沒有上學(xué)的"機(jī)會"。

2. B根據(jù)下文"she ran away from the planta?tion"可知她當(dāng)時在fields干活。

3. B奴隸主強(qiáng)迫奴隸在地里勞動，然后賣掉他們的收成以賺取大量錢財。

4. C fairly表示"公正地,公平地"，奴隸主強(qiáng)迫奴隸在地里勞動，所以哈里特認(rèn)為她受到了不公平的對待。注意該句主句為否定形式。

5. B There與in Canada并列，都是地點(diǎn)狀語。

6. D feel / be sorry for表示"為……感到難過"。

7. A still表示"仍然"。

8. B前文提到哈里特逃到北方，現(xiàn)在應(yīng)該是"返回"南方幫助其他的黑奴逃往北方。

9. A make sure that為固定句型，表示"確保，保證"。若用possible,則需在made后面加形式賓語it代替that從句作賓語，possible作補(bǔ)語。

10. D從下文的內(nèi)容可知她處于"危險"之中。

11. B"通過"法律用動詞pass。

12. C runaway為復(fù)合形容詞，用作前置定語，表示"逃跑的，跑掉的"。

17. B根據(jù)上下文的語境可知應(yīng)是戰(zhàn)爭"爆發(fā)(break out) "。

18. A standby表示"站在……一邊，支持

19. C該句用spied最佳，表示哈里特假扮成護(hù)士為北方做偵察工作。如果用stayed表示"待在敵后"和hid表示"藏在后面"，都不妥。

20. B根據(jù)最后一句可知哈里特在戰(zhàn)后"積極"投身于民權(quán)運(yùn)動和爭取婦女權(quán)利的運(yùn)動之中。

  In intelligence tests on 80 volunteers,scientists found a noticeable improvement among those who were asked to spend a short while considering what previous generations of their fami?lies had suffered. Those who simply had to recall a more ordinary memory did not fare well.

  The findings suggest remembering the hardships of grandparents,great grandparents and even longforgotten ancestors,seems to have a direct benefit on the brain's ability to meet the demands for its intelligence.

  Researchers reported, "Our ancestors managed to overcome lots of problems,such as bad illnesses,wars,loss of loved ones and economic problems. So when we think about them,we are reminded that humans who are genetically similar to us can successfully overcome a plenty of problems and misfortunes."

  To test their theory,the scientists tested 80 students. They were asked to spend five mi?nutes thinking about their ancestors or a recent trip to the shops. Immediately afterwards,the students were asked how confident they felt about upcoming exams. Those in the two groups that remembered lost generations were more confident about their chances of success. The students then underwent a range of intelligence tests. In one,the"ancestor effect" boosted scores to 14 out of a maximum16,compared with just 10 out of 16 in the other group.

  In a report on their findings the researchers said, "We showed that an easy reminder about our ancestors can significantly increase intellectual performance. Whenever people are in a situa?tion where such performance is extremely important,such as exams and job interviews,they have an easy technique to increase their success."

科目：高中英語 來源： 題型：

The handling and delivery of mail has always been a serious business,underpinned (加強(qiáng)，鞏固) by the trust of the public in requiring timeliness,safety,and confidentiality (保密性) .After early beginnings using horseback and stagecoach,and although cars and trucks later replaced stagecoaches and wagons,the railway mail service still stands as one of America's most re?sourceful and exciting postal innovations (革新) .This service began in 1832,but grew slowly until the civil war. Then from 1862,by sorting the mail on board moving trains,the post office department was able to decentralize (分散，下放) its operations as railroads began to crisscross (縱橫交錯的) the nation on a regular basis,and speed up mail delivery. This service lasted until 1974. During peak decades of service,railway mail clerks handled 93% of all nonlocal mail and by 1905 the service had over 12 ,000 employees.

Railway post office trains used a system of mail cranes to exchange mail at stations without stopping. As a train approached the crane,a clerk prepared the catcher arm which would then snatch the incoming mailbag in the blink of an eye. The clerk then booted out the outgoing mailbag. Experienced clerks were considered the elite (精華) of the postal service's employees,and spoke with pride of making the switch at night with nothing but the curves and feel of the track to warn them of an upcoming catch. They also worked under the greatest pressure and their jobs were considered to be exhausting and dangerous. In addition to regular demands of their jobs they could find themselves the victims of train wrecks (毀壞) and robberies.

As successful as it was, "mail-on-the-fly" still had its share of glitches (差錯) .If they hoisted (升起) the train's catcher arm too soon,they risked hitting switch targets,telegraph poles or semaphores (信號裝置) ，which would rip (扯開) the catcher arm off the train. Too late,and they would miss an exchange.

(   ) 5. Which of the following can be inferred from the first paragraph?

   A. Cars and trucks later replaced stagecoaches and wagons to deliver mails.

   B. There was a high turnover of railway mail clerks.

   C. The development of the railroads from 1862 enabled post office department to focus on timeliness.

   D. The post office department had more than 12 ,000 clerks to deal with all mail.

(   ) 6. The mail crane referred to in the second paragraph is used to         .

   A. exchange mail at stations without stopping the train

   B. exchange the incoming mailbag in the blink of an eye

   C. boot out the outgoing mailbag

   D. handling and sorting the mail

(   ) 7. The underlined expression "mail-on-the-fly" refers to         .

   A. fast speed   B. skillful clerks

   C. nonstop system   D. mail cranes

(   ) 8. What is the main meaning of the passage?

   A. How the catcher arm snatched the mailbag without stopping the running train.

   B. Timeliness,safety,and confidentiality are very important in mail handling and delivery.

   C. The way the mail cranes exchanged mail.

   D. Ways improved with time in mail handling and delivery.
