Salt, shells or metals are still used as money in out-of-the-way parts of the world today.

Salt may seem rather a strange 【B1】 to use as money, 【B2】 in countries where the food of the people is mainly vegetable, it is often an 【B3】 necessity. Cakes of salt, stamped to show their 【B4】 , were used as money in some countries until recent 【B5】 and cakes of salt 【B6】 buy goods in Borneo and parts of Africa. Sea shells 【B7】 as money at some time 【B8】 another over the greater part of the Old World. These were 【B9】 mainly from the beaches of the Maldives Islands in the Indian Ocean, and were traded to India and China. In Africa, shells were traded right across the 【B10】 from East to West.

A hundred years ago, the game we now call football did not exist. American football starte

d during a game between two colleges. The teams had got together to play what they called "football", but each team played by different rules. One team played what we now call soccer. The other played what we now call rugby (橄榄球).

Both games had been invented a thousand years before. In the first kind of football game ever played, all the men from one village tried to kick a ball into another village. The men of the second village tried to kick the ball into the first. Hundreds of people joined in, running everywhere, running crops and knocking down fences. In time, people agreed on some rules to keep order, but many roles were left open to change. Different rules developed in different places.

When the two colleges met to play football, each followed its own rules. They mixed the games together and invented a new game. A hundred years later we call that game American football.

In what ways do you suppose the game we know now will have changed in another hundred years？

When the two colleges first met to play "football", the players followed ______.

A．the rules of soccer

B．the rules of rugby

C．different rules

D．college rules

It is estimated that some seven hundred million people about half the world's population a

re un able to read and write, and there are probably two hundred and fifty million more whose level of attainment(造诣、成就)is so slight that it barely qualifies a literacy(识字).

Recently the attack on illiteracy has been stepped up. A world plan has been drawn up by a committee of UNESCO experts in Paris, as part of the United Nations Development Decade, and an international conference on the subject has also been held. UNESCO stresses that functional literacy is the aim. People must learn the basic skills of responsible citizenship: the ability to read notices, newspapers, timetables, letters, price lists, to keep simple records and accounts, to sort out the significance of the information gathered, and to fill in forms.

The major areas of illiteracy are in Asia, and Central and South America. In Africa there are at least one hundred million illiterates, making up eighty to eighty-five per cent of the total population. In Europe the figure is about twenty-four million, most of them is Southern Europe, with Spain, Italy, Portugal, and Yugoslavia heading the list (the United Kingdom has about seven hundred thousand).

According to the estimate, the illiterate population in the world is ______.

A．two hundred and fifty million

B．one hundred million

C．about half of the total population in the world

D．seven thousand million

第6题

Elephants are perhaps the only animals that are hunted for their teeth. Elephant's tusks,

or very large teeth growing on either side of their mouths, are composed of a valuable material called ivory(象牙).

(77) An elephant uses its long, pointed tusks as tools for digging in the ground for food. He also uses them as weapons in combat.

The tusks of male elephants are usually large and heavy. In Africa, female elephants have long, light tusks. In India and other parts of southern Asia, female elephants have small, short tusks or none at all.

(78) Tusks in good .condition are in great demand, and may sell for as high as two thousand dollars or more. Because of this, large numbers of elephants have been killed. Some countries have initiated (开始) methods of trying to protect elephants. They have established elephant preserves, or areas of land set aside for herds of elephants where no one is allowed to harm them. Elephants on the preserves are safe from ivory hunters.

Female elephants in India and southern Asia have ______

A．large and heavy tusks

B．small and short tusks or not any teeth at all

C．small and short tusks

D．long and light tusks

第10题

For any Englishman there can never be any discussion as to who is the world's g

reatest writer. Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him：that of William Shakespeare.

Every Englishman has some knowledge of his work. All of us use words and phrases from Shakespeare's writings that have become a part of the English-speaking people.

Shakespeare, more perhaps than any other writer, made full use of the English language. Most of us use about five thousand words in our normal employment of English; Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand!

There is probably no better way for a foreigner (or an Englishman!) to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare uses it. Such a study is well worth the effort (it is not, of course, recommended to beginners), even though some aspects of English usage, and the meaning of many words, have changed since Shakespeare's day.

1). From the first two sentences of the passage we can conclude that ________.

A. it can't be discussed about who is the world's greatest dramatist

B. Shakespeare is regarded as the greatest writer

C. Englishmen like to discuss about who is the world's greatest writer

D. it can't be discussed about who is the world's greatest poet

2). According to the passage many English words and phrases that we use today are from _____.

A. Englishmen

B. English speaking people

C. Shakespeare's works

D. ancient people

3). To learn the richness of the English language, people should ______.

A. write and read more
