四.英语阅读理解题
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
After the American Revolution, industry in the U.S. was behind Europe. But it was not very far behind. Several waves of inventions and growth soon hit. This happened over a period of 150 years. These advances made the U.S. economy the largest and most modern in the world.
During the American Revolution, America had not yet entered its industrial age. Most manufacturing was done in people's homes. Whereas Britain was industrialized, America had not caught on yet. Then Francis Cabot Lowell went to Britain in 1811. He memorized the secrets to constructing a power loom. After he and his associates returned to America, they founded some textile plants in Boston. The most famous was in Lowell, Massachusetts. It was built in 1822. The Lowell system employed many "mill girls". They lived in dormitories in order to run the factory.
New England was the home of a growing textile industry. It was the first area of the United States to experience such rapid growth. This growth also occurred in Pennsylvania. The iron industry pushed that state along and helped it to grow even faster.
Then the direction of progress began to change. This new period took place between 1810 and the 1860s. Factories continued to expand. But greater strides were being taken in inventing. American manufacturing and agriculture was greatly improved. These improvements came from practical inventions. Richard Chenaworth invented the cast-iron plow. It was useful because it had replaceable parts. John Deere created the steel plow, which made farming faster because the soil did not stick to it. Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin and the jig. This began a huge cotton industry in the south. Samuel Morse invented the passenger elevator. This led to modern-day skyscrapers. Finally, George Pullman created the sleeping car for trains. This allowed for long-distance travel.
From the 1850s on, industry in the United States boomed. The Civil War was over. With the victory of the North, Northern business entrepreneurs flourished. Government was eager to see business expand. The innovations listed above caused swift and dramatic changes. Railroads were now needed to carry goods across the country. People in the south traded cotton. They sold their product to the north and to Britain.
By the early 1900s, cars were needed by many people. The auto industry introduced a new dimension of growth to America. By the 1920s, Henry Ford introduced his Model-T. With it came the modern assembly line.
101、According to paragraph l,the U.S. economy became the largest and the most modern in the world because ______.
A． the U.S.won the American Revolution
B． there were many new inventions
C． competing with the Europe and eventually surpassed it
D． the economy grew steadily for more than 150 years
102、Which of the following best expresses the essential information in the highlighted sentence? ______
A． New England grew more rapidly than European countries.
B． There was rapid growth in all states of the United States, including New England.
C． Only one area besides New England in America experienced fast growth.
D． Fast growth occurred in New England first in America.
103、Which of the following can be inferred about Pennsylvania's industry? ______
A． It had a textile industry similar to Massachusetts'.
B． It often competed against Massachusetts and other sates.
C． Its iron industry was stronger than in other states.
D． It became a richer state than Massachusetts with faster growth.
104、Why does the author mention practical inventions in paragraph 4? ______
A． To exemplify the reasons for the development of industry in America.
B． To show how America became rich by selling new products.
C． To illustrate how intelligent American inventors were.
D． To prove that most useful inventions came from America.
105、The word "boomed" in the passage is closest in the meaning to ______.
A． imploded B． increased
C． fluctuated D． continued
Testing has replaced teaching in most public schools. My own children's school week is framed by pretests, drills, tests, and retests. They know that the best way to read a textbook is to look at the questions at the end of the chapter and then skim the text for the answers. I believe that my daughter Erica, who gets excellent marks,has never read a chapter of any of her school textbooks all the way through. And teachers are often heard to state proudly and openly that they teach to the mandated state test.
Teaching to the test is a curious phenomenon. Instead of deciding what skills students ought to learn, helping students learn them, and then using some sensible methods of assessment to discover whether students have mastered the skills, teachers are encouraged to reverse the process. First one looks at a commercially available test. Then one distills the skills needed not to master reading, say, or math, but to do well on the test. Finally, the test skills are taught.
The ability to read or write or calculate might imply the ability to do reasonably well on standardized tests. However, neither reading nor writing develops simply through being taught to take tests. We must be careful to avoid mistaking preparation for a test of a skill with the acquisition of that skill. Too many discussions of basic of skills make this fundamental confusion because people are test-obsessed rather than concerned with the nature and quality of what is taught.
Recently, many schools have faced what could be called the crisis of comprehension or, in simple terms, the phenomenon of students with phonic and grammar skills still being unable to understand what they read. These students are competent at test taking and filling in workbooks and ditto masters. However, they have little or no experience reading or thinking, and talking about what they read. They know the details but cant see or understand the whole. They are taught to be so concerned with grade that they have no time or ease of mind to think about meaning, and reread things if necessary.

You can't see it, smell it, or hear it, and people disagree on how precisely to define it, or where exactly it comes from. It isn't a school subject or an academic discipline, but it can be learned. It is a quality that is required by artists. But it is also present in the lives of scientists and entrepreneurs. All of us benefit from it: we thrive mentally and spiritually when we are able to harness it. It is a delicate thing, easily stamped out; in fact, it flourishes most fully when people are playful and childlike. At the same time, it works best in tandem with deep knowledge and expertise.
This mysterious—but teachable—quality is creativity, the subject of a report published this week by Durham Commission on Creativity and Education, a body chaired by Sir Nicholas Serota, the chair of Arts Council England, with input from figures including film director Beeban Kidron. architect Sir David Adjaye and choreographer Akram Khan. The report, put together in collaboration with academics from Durham University, concludes that creativity is not something that should inhabit the school curriculum only as it relates to drama. music, art and other obviously creative subjects, but that creative thinking ought to run through all of school life, infusing the way human and natural sciences are learned.
The authors, who focus on education in England, offer a number of sensible recommendations. some of which are an attempt to alleviate the Gradgrindish turn in education policy of recent years. When children are regarded as pitchers to be filled with facts, creativity does not prosper, nor does it when teachers' sole objective is, perforce, coaching children towards exams. One suggestion from the commission is a network of teacher-led "creativity collaboratives", along the lines of existing maths hubs, with the aim of supporting teaching for creativity through the school curriculum.
Nevertheless, it is arts subjects through which creativity can most obviously be fostered. The value placed on them by the independent education sector is clear. One only has to look at the remarkable arts facilities at Britain's top private schools to comprehend this. But in the state sector the excessive focus on English,maths and science threatens to crush arts subjects; meanwhile, reduced school budgets mean diminishing extracurricular activities. There has been a 28.1% and design have seen a recent increase.
This discrepancy between state and private education is a matter of social justice. It is simply wrong and unfair the most children have a fraction of the access to choirs, orchestras, art. studios and drama that their more privileged peers enjoy. As lives are affected by any number of looming challenges—climate crisis, automation in the workplace—humans are going to need creative thinking more than ever. For all of our sakes,creativity in education,and for all, must become a priority.

Many of us are fearful of making changes in our work lives—fear is a natural human condition. We feel less threatened when we stick with the familiar. As long as we are receiving a paycheck, we tolerate the dissatisfaction. Better to just play it safe.
But the safety net we preserve requires a big trade-off. It often denies us the opportunity to experience work that makes us happy, that is consistent with our desires while still meeting our monetary needs. Yet many of us strap ourselves into jobs in which the only reward is money.
We breed cynicism when we treat our work as nothing more than a financial equation, a necessity we tolerate in order to acquire funds to live, with the hope of somehow achieving success and happiness along the way. That's really most of us want to be happy. We spend 80,000 hours of our lives at work. Yet, we view happiness as something to be achieved "outside" of work. We hire ourselves out on Monday through Friday and "live" for the weekends.
Most of us didn't choose our careers to fulfill a purpose or mission. On the contrary, we just looked for "a good job with a good company", reflecting such criteria as pay, title and just security. We reasoned that if we could "get a foot in the door" and work hard, our careers would grow over time, actually, that our careers and work lives would just happen "by accident". Because of this, many of us have careers today that are just "accidents waiting to happen". Everyday business decisions, a reorganization plan, an acquisition by another company, a relocation out of the country, can throw our work lives into danger. But despite this uncertainty some of us still cling to our jobs, dissatisfying as they may be. Can't take that risk!
"Hanging on" involves risk too. For when we sacrifice pleasure for pay, our work lacks dignity, uses our energy and, ultimately, breaks our spirit. An unhappy, unfulfilled work life contributes to an unhappy, unfulfilled personal life. Happiness in work, as happiness in love, demands a measure of risk.
Author Marsha Simetar suggests that if you "do what you love, the money will follow". Certainly this may seem a bit risky, perhaps idealistic, but it is undoubtedly true that people who love what they do find ways to make the most money.
