17、55Aappreciate Bquarrel with Cignore DPraise三閱讀理解AAmong the more colorful characters of Leadvilles golden age were H.A.W.Tabor and his second wife, Elizabeth McCourt, better known as “Baby Doe”. Their history is fast becoming one of the legends of the Old West. Horace Austin Warner Tabor was a school

18、 teacher in Vermont. With his first wife and two children he left Vermont by covered wagon in 1855 to homestead in Kansas. Perhaps he did not find farming to his liking, or perhaps he was lured by rumors of fortunes to be made in Colorado mines. At any rate, a few years later he moved west to the sm

19、all Colorado mining camp known as California Gulch, which he later renamed Leadville when he became its leading citizen. “Great deposits of lead are sure to be found here.” he said.As it turned out, it was silver, not lead, that was to make Leadvilles fortune and wealth. Tabor knew little about mini

20、ng himself, so he opened a general store, which sold everything from boots to salt, flour, and tobacco.It was his custom to “grubstake” prospective miners, in other words, to supply them with food and supplies, or“grub”, while they looked for ore, in return for which he would get a share in the mine

21、 if one was discovered.He did this for a number of years, but no one that he aided ever found anything of value.Finally one day in the year 1878, so the story goes, two miners came in and asked for “grub”. Tabor had decided to quit supplying it because he had lost too much money that way. These were

22、 persistent, however, and Tabor was too busy to argue with them. “Oh help yourself. One more time wont make any difference,” He said and went on selling shoes and hats to other customers. The two miners took $17 worth of supplies, in return for which they gave Tabor a one-third interest in their fin

23、dings. They picked a barren place on the mountain side and began to dig. After nine days they struck a rich vein of silver. Tabor bought the shares of the other two men, and so the mine belonged to him alone. This mine, known as the “Pittsburgh Mine,” made 1 300 000 for Tabor in return for his $17 i

24、nvestment.Later Tabor bought the Matchless Mine on another barren hillside just outside the town for $117 000. This turned out to be even more fabulous than the Pittsburgh, yielding $35 000 worth of silver per day at one time. Leadville grew. Tabor became its first mayor, and later became lieutenant

25、 governor of the state.1.Leadville got its name for the following reasons EXCEPT.A.because Tabor became its leading citizenB.because great deposits of lead is expected to be found thereC.because it could bring good fortune to TaborD.because it was renamed2.The word “grubstake” in paragraph 2 means.A

The underlying reason for Tabors life career is.A. purely accidentalB. based on the analysis of miners being very poor and their

29、her colorful characters.D.Tabors other careers.B.As a reliable travel agency, we really do try to describe our centers and accommodation as realistically as possible. All our Super Centers and Main Centers have been extensively investigated during the winter season 1975-1976. As a result we have fir

30、st-hand information on the way in which hotels, life networks and ski schools, etc. operate during the season. We have not been able to investigate, at first hand, all our Independent Centers during the last season but all have been visited during the past three seasons. Should you need any more inf

31、ormation about these centers we will try to get it for you. Our American centers have been investigated on our behalf by United Airlines Tours Department and by the U. S. tour operators who are assisting United and ourselves to offer you this novel program to the United States.Where possible we have

32、 eliminated the use of superlatives from the text (possibly making our brochure(小冊子) less attractive to read than it might be) and have concentrated on as accurate a description as possible. Nevertheless you should bear in mind that your opinion and the opinion of our investigator might differ and t

33、here may be changes between the time of a visit by our investigator and the visit of one of our customers.We trust that it is evident to you that we have done all in our power to eliminate misdescription and that there really is no question of misrepresenta-tion on our parteither careless or otherwi

34、se. We welcome your constructive criticismit is the best way we know of improving our brochures and our service. Although complaints are very expensive to handle, your complaint or criticism will be thoroughly investigated and a refund (退賠 ) made if it is justifiednone will be made if it isn't.2

36、 the year before last B. three years agoC. between 1975 and 1976 D. within the last three seasons28. The program of tours to the United States appears to be_.A. a new collaboration with U.

The firm's claim is that their program is improved by_.A. helpful fault-finding by customersB. attractive des

38、cription of the centers in every brochureC. a standard policy of prompt repaymentD. careful control of the hotelsC.As regards social conventions, we must say a word about the well-known English class system. This is an embarrassing subject for English people, and one they tend to be ashamed of, thou

39、gh during the present century class-consciousness has grown less and less, and the class system less rigid. But it still exists below the surface. Broadly speaking, it means there are two classes, the “middle class” and the “working class”. (We shall ignore for a moment the old “upper class”, includ

40、ing the hereditary aristocracy, since it is extremely small in numbers; but some of its members have the right to sit in the House of Lords, and some newspapers take a surprising interest in their private life.) The middle class consists chiefly of well-to-do businessmen and professional people of a

41、ll kinds. The working class consists chiefly of manual and unskilled workers.The most obvious difference between them is in their accent. Middle-class people use slightly varying kinds of “received pronunciation” which is the kind of English spoken by BBC announcers and taught to overseas pupils. Ty

42、pical working-class people speak in many different local accents which are generally felt to be rather ugly and uneducated. One of the biggest barriers of social equality in England is the two-class education system. To have been to a so-called “public school” immediately marks you out as one of the

43、 middle class. The middle classes tend to live a more formal life than working-class people, and are usually more cultured. Their midday meal is “l(fā)unch” and they have a rather formal evening meal called “dinner”, whereas the working mans dinner, if his working hours permit, is at midday, and his sma

44、ller, late-evening meal is called supper.As we have said, however, the class system is much less rigid than it was, and for a long time it has been government policy to reduce class distinctions. Working-class students very commonly receive a university education and enter the professions, and worki

45、ng-class incomes have grown so much recently that the distinctions between the two classes are becoming less and less clear. However, regardless of ones social status, certain standards of politeness are expected of everybody, and a well-bred person is polite to everyone he meets, and treats a labou

46、rer with the same respect he gives an important businessman. Servility inspires both embarrassment and dislike. Even the word “sir”, except in school and in certain occupations (e.g. commerce, the army etc.) sounds too servile to be commonly used.1.The middle class mainly refers to people .A. who we

47、re born as aristocratB. who have the right to sit in the House of LordsC. who speak in many different local accentsD. who are prosperous businessmen or who work in some professions2. The most obvious difference between the working class and the middle class in English is their .A. dress B. work C. a

48、ccent D. meal3. Why isnt the word “sir” commonly used in Britain?A. Because it sounds too servile and is likely to cause embarrassment. B. Because it can only be used in some certain occupations.C. Because it is an impolite word.D. Because it shows that the speaker is not a well-bred person.4. The “

49、upper class” in England today .A. are extremely small in number so that media pays no attention to themB. still uses old words like “Sir” in their everyday lifeC. includes the hereditary aristocracyD. refers only to the royal family5. Which of the following is not true about the English class system

50、?A. It is an embarrassing subject for English people.B. Working-class students cannot receive a university education.C. The class system is much less rigid than it was.D. The class system still exists below the surface.D.A new scheme for getting children to and from school is being started by the ed

51、ucation authorities in part of Eastern England. This could end the worries of many parents fearful for their children's safety on the roads.Until now the Country Council has only been prepared to provide bus services for children living more than three miles from their school, or sometimes less

52、if special reasons existed. Now it has been decided that if a group of parents ask for help in organizing transport they will be prepared to go ahead, provided the arrangement will not lose money and that children taking part will be attending their nearest school.The new scheme is to be tried out t

53、his term for children living at Milton who attend Impington school. The children live just within the three-mile limit and the Council has said in the past it will not undertake to provide free transport to the school. But now they have agreed to organize a bus service from Milton to Impington and b

54、ack, a plan which has the support of the school's headmaster.Between 50 and 60 parents have said they would like their children to take part. Final calculations have still to be carried out, but a council official has said the cost to parents should be less than £6. 50 a term.They have been

55、 able to arrange the service at a low cost because there is already an agreement with the, bus company for a bus to take children who live further away to Impington. The same bus would now just make an extra journey to pick up the Milton children. The official said they would get in touch with other

56、 groups of parents who in the past had asked if transport could be provided for their children, to see if they would like to take part in the new scheme.21.
