C On June 17, 1744, the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the Six Nations. The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In letter the next day they refused the offer as follows. We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are certain that you mean to do us good by your suggestion; and we thank you heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be displeased if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northern provinces. They were taught all your sciences; but, when they came back to us, they were bad manners, and they knew little of every means of living in the woods -- they were totally good for nothing. We are, however, not the less obliged for your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them in all we know, and make men of them. 1. The passage is about _______. A: the talk between the Indians and the officials B: the colleges of the northern provinces C: the educational values of the Indians D: the problems of the Americans in the mid-eighteenth century 2.

A: politely refuse a friendly offer B: express their opinions on equal treatment C: show their pride D: describe Indian customs 3. According to the letter, the Indians believed that _______. A: it would be better for their boys to receive some schooling B: they were being insulted by the offer C: they knew more about science than the officials D: they had better way of educating young men 4. Different from the officials' view of education, the Indians thought _______.

Passage 1When the world was a simpler place, the rich were fat, the poor were thin, and people worried about how to feed the hungry. Now, in much of the world, the rich are thin, the poor are fat, and people are worrying about obesity (肥胖).Evolution is mostly to blame. It has designed mankind to cope with shortage, not plenty. People are perfectly tuned to store energy in good years to see them through lean ones. But when bad times never come, they are stuck with that energy stored around their expanding bellies (腹部).Thanks to rising agricultural productivity, lean years are rarer. According to the UN, the number of people short of food fell from 920m in 1980 to 799m 20 years later, even though the world's population increased by 1.6 billion over the period. This is mostly a cause for celebration. Mankind has won his biggest battle: to ensure that he and his offspring (后代) had enough to eat. But the consequence of prosperity is a new worry that brings with it a large number of interesting policy dilemmas.As a cause of suffering of the modern world, obesity is a serious problem. It is the world's biggest public-health issue today—the main cause of many serious diseases. Since the World Health Organization labeled obesity an "epidemic" in 2000, reports on its fearful consequences have come thick and fast.Will public-health warnings, combined with media pressure, persuade people to get thinner, just as they finally put them off tobacco? Possibly. In the rich world, sales of healthier foods are booming and new figures suggest that over the past year Americans got very slightly thinner for the first time in recorded history. But even if Americans are losing a few ounces, it will be many years before the country solves the health problems caused by half a century's dining to excess. And, everywhere else in the world, people are still piling on the pounds. That's why there is now a consensus among doctors that governments should do something to stop them.(1) (单选题)1) In the process of evolution, mankind learned to ________.A.. make preparations for the coming of extreme weathersB.. cope with the lacking of scientific knowledge essential to conquer the natureC.. get as fat as possible in good years to ensure survival in bad yearsD.. store such energy resources as wood, coal, etc in order to get through cold winter(2) (单选题)2) Why has the number of people short of food fallen?A.. Because the UN has tried hard to call on people to save food.B.. Because the population grows at a lower rate than before.C.. Because more food can be produced with the development of agriculture.D.. Because there are fewer people who can eat much on earth now.(3) (单选题)3) What does the World Health Organization think of obesity?A.. The WHO regards it as an illness prevailing among people.B.. The WHO sees it as a symbol of the economic development.C.. Obesity is a problem people can never solve.D.. Obesity has nothing to do with prosperity.(4) (单选题)4) What do we know about public-health warnings, combined with media pressure?A.. It has led to the increase of sales of healthier food in every part of the world.B.. It will definitely make people determined to lose weight in a few years.C.. It has succeeded in persuading people to give up smoking.D.. It has resulted in the decrease in the number of people who die of cancer.(5) (单选题)5) Although American people are losing some weight in recent years, ________.A.. it is predicted that they cannot solve the problem foreverB.. people in other countries are still putting on weightC.. people in other countries are still fighting against hungerD.. they will gain more weight in the future
