In Washington D. C. , 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue is a very special address. It is the addres

s of the White House, the home of the President of the United States.

Originally the White House was gray and was called the Presidential Palace. It was built from 1792 to 1800. At this time, the city of Washington itself was being built. It was to be the nation's new capital city. George Washington, the first President, and Pierre Charles L'Enfant, a French engineer, chose the place for the new city. L'Enfant then planned the city. The President's home was an important part of the plan.

A contest was held to pick a design for the President's home. An architect named James Hoban won. He designed a large three-story house of gray stone.

President Washington never lived in the Presidential Palace. The first President to live there was John Adams, the second President of the United States, and his wife. Mrs. Adams did not really like her new house. In her letters, she often complained about the cold. Fifty fireplaces were not enough to keep the house warm.

In 1812 the United States and Britain went to war. In 1814 the British invaded Washington. They burned many buildings, including the Presidential Palace.

After the war James Hoban, the original architect, partially rebuilt the President's home. To cover the marks of the fire, the building was painted white. Before long it became known as the White House.

The White House is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States. Every year more than 1. 5 million visitors go through the five rooms that are open to the public.

The White House was built in Washington______.

A．because a French engineer was invited to design it

B．because President George Washington liked to live in it

C．because the British invaders lived in it in 1812—1814

D．because it was to be the nation's capital city

第9题

Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young man are still in existence. They s

how that he was learning Latin, was very interested in the basics of good behavior in society, and was reading English literature. At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics. In fact, his formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentleman, and incomplete. For unlike other young Virginian of that day, he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginia Williamsburg. In terms of formal training then, Washington contrasts sharply with some other early American Presidents such as John Adams. Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training. He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress(国会), or on any subject that had not to do with everyday, practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe. Why didn’t Washington go to college？ A. His family could not afford it

B. A college education was rather uncommon in his time

C. He didn’t like the young Virginian gentlemen

D. The author doesn’t give any reason

Washington felt uncomfortable in Congress debates because he__________.A.lacked practice in public speaking

B.felt his education was not good enough

C.didn’t like arguing and debating with people

D.felt that debating was like intellectual training

The reason why Washington didn’t visit France was probably that he__________.A.didn’t really care about going

B.didn’t know French leaders

C.couldn’t communicate directly with the French leaders

D.was too busy to travel

According to the author, __________.A.Washington’s lack of formal education placed him at a disadvantage in later life

B.Washington should have gone to France even though he could not speak French

C.Washington was not as good a president as Adams, Jefferson or Madison

D.Washington was a model for all Virginian gentlemen

The main idea of the passage is that Washington’s education __________.A.was of great variety, covering many subjects

B.was probably equal to those of most young gentlemen of his time

C.may seem poor by modern standards, but was good enough for his time

D.was rather limited for a president

第10题

To begin with, moral values in America are like those in any culture. But the stories

and traditions that teach them are unique to each culture. Not only that, but culture has an effect on how people show these virtues.

One of the most basic moral values for Americans is honesty. The wall-known legend about George Washington and a cherry tree teaches this value clearly.

Another virtue Americans respect is perseverance. Remember Aesop’s fable about the turtle and the rabbit that had a race The rabbit thought he could win easily, so he took a sleep. But the turtle finally won because he did not give up.

Compassion(同情心)may be the queen of American virtues. In 1992, people in Iowa sent truckloads of water to help Floridians hit by a hurricane. The next summer, during the mid-west of flooding, Florida returned the favor.
