But the average traveler never meets a truck driver. Most people know little ab

17、out the truckers way of life. This way of life has certain disadvantages. The three-day periods away from home make family life difficult. Wives complain that their husbands are not at home to deal with their childrens problems. In turn, drivers worry about their families while they are away. Anothe

18、r problem is that truckers families can seldom plan ahead. It is hard to plan a party for a certain date or even to accept invitations. Friends often say to each other,” Come over next Saturday if your husband is back by then.”In addition, of course, there is always the danger of accidents. Although

19、 the accident rate per mile is only about half the rate for passenger cars, a life spent on major highways can never be really safe. All truck drivers fear being forced to make a sudden turn or having to stop unexpectedly on an icy road. When such accidents happen, someone other than a truck driver

20、is usually at fault. Truckers have a low opinion of the driving skills of the general public. When truck drivers meet, much of their conversation deals with careless driving habits-the habits of others on the road. But drivers and their wives also point to advantages in their way of life. The chief

21、advantage is money.” How else could an uneducated man earn as much?” one truckers wife asked, sitting in the comfortable living room of their new home with its large color television set and expensive furniture. Driving a truck requires little physical labor. At each end of the journey other workers

22、 load and unload the truck. For days at a time the drivers life consists entirely of sitting, steering, eating, and sleeping. It is not surprising that many truckers worry about gaining weight.1.Which of the following is an advantage of a truckers way of life?A. The three-day periods away from home.

23、B. Most people know little about his way of life.C. His salary.D. His job needs little physical labor2.Which of the following is true?A. When traveling across the United States by car, you can see quite a few big trucks.B. The average traveler meets not a few truck drivers.C. A truckers wife has lit

24、tle to complain about.D. A truckers wife has no difficulty in accepting an invitation to a party.3.When a trucker is involved in an accident,_.A. it is usually the trucker himself who is to blameB. it is usually somebody else who is to blameC. it is often because he is carelessD. it is often because

25、 highways are poorly constructed4.When truckers meet, they mainly talk about_.A. their familiesB. other peoples adventures on the roadC. their driving skillsD. others careless driving habits5.The passage chiefly deals with_.A. the difference between passenger cars and trucksB. driving on major highw

26、ays in the U.S.C. the relationship between truckers and their wivesthe advantages and disadvantages in the truckers way of life 2 Are some people born clever, and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these quest

27、ions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a dull environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surro

28、undings. Thus the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways. It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born wi

29、th. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random(任意地)from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two twins, th

30、ey will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two twins and put them in different environments. We might sent on

31、e, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is uninteresting. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contac

32、t with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence.6. A persons intelligence depends on_.A. his birth only B. his birth as well as his environmentC. his surroundings only D. his special education7. Two twins are usually_.A. not the same in intellige

33、nce B. as clever as each otherC. less intelligent than others D. more intelligent than others8. Two persons who are not related at all, but who live in close contact with each other_.A. are completely the same in intelligenceB. are less intelligent than others C. are likely to have similar degrees o

34、f intelligenceD. are totally different in intelligence9. Which one of the following statements is true?A. A child born with low intelligence can become a genius with the help of special education.B. A child living in a rich and varied environment will develop his intelligence more than one living in

35、 a dull environment.C. Experience have nothing to do with ones intelligence development.D. A person born with high intelligence will certainly become a successful person.10. If two unrelated people are taken at random,_.A. their degrees of intelligence will be quite likely completely differentB. the

36、ir degrees of intelligence will be mostly about the sameC. they are likely to be the same in intelligenceD. it is likely that one works in a factory and the other is at university3 If there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is the ability to profit by defeat. Every success I

37、know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his next task. Confuse defeat with failure, and you will certainly end up in failure. For it isnt defeat that makes you fail: it is your own refusal to see in defeat the guide and encouragement to succe

38、ss. Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of . They are nothing surprising in the life of every man who achieves success. But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it with courage, analyze it and learn why you failed. Defeat, in other words, can help to cure its own cause. Not only does defeat prepar

39、e us for success, but nothing can arouse within us such a strong desire to succeed. If you let a baby grasp a rod and try to pull it away, he will hold it more and more tightly until his whole weight is suspended(懸吊). It is this same reaction which should give you new and greater strength every time

40、 you are defeated. If you make use of the power which defeat gives, you can accomplish with it far more than you are capable of.11.What does the author know?A. He knows at least several cases of success.B. He knows every success in life.C. It is not mentioned in the passage.D. He knows every success

41、 that has been achieved by man.12.The person who was able to analyze defeat is likely_.A. to achieve success B. to be discouraged by defeatC. to be ashamed of defeat D. to confuse defeat with failure13.The author_.A. advises you to confuse defeat with failureB. advises you to win success without def

42、eatC. advises you not to profit by defeatD. advises you to learn from failure14.Defeat is valuable because_.A. it makes you failB. it helps you face it with shameC. it provides the guide and encouragement to successD. it helps you realize that you are not capable enough15.What does the author advise

43、 one to do with the power which defeat gives? One should _.A. refuse to make use of it B. explain it C. make use of it D. give it up 4 The original Americans, of course, were the Indians. The so-called white men who then came were mostly from England. But many came from other countries like Germany

44、and France. One problem the United States has always had is discrimination(歧視). As new groups came to the United States they found that they were discriminated against. Fist it was the Irish and Italians. Later it was the blacks. Almost every group has been able to eventually escape this discriminat

45、ion. The only immigrants who have not are the blacks. Surprisingly enough, the worst discrimination today is shown toward the Indians. One reason the Indians are discriminated against is that they have tried so hard to keep their identity(特性). Of course they are not the only ones who have done so. T

46、he Japanese have their Little Tokyo in Los Angeles and the Chinese a Chinatown in New York. The Dutch settlement in Pennsylvania also stays separate from other people. Their towns are like something from the 19th century. They have a different reason from the other groups for staying apart. They liv

47、e separately for religious reasons rather than keeping together in a racial group. Although some groups have kept themselves separate and others have been discriminated against, all groups have helped make the United States a great country. There is no group that has not helped in some way. And ther

48、e is no group that can say they have done the most to make it a great country.16. The main idea of the passage is that _.A. in spite of discrimination, each racial group have contributed to the making of the United StatesB. the blacks are discriminated against in the United StatesC. the Indians are

49、discriminated against in the United StatesD. all racial groups in the U.S. have tried hard to keep their respective identities.17.The American blacks_.A. are most discriminated against in the U.S.B. have done the most to make the U.S. a great countryC. were the first immigrants to the U.S.D. have be

Which of the following is NOT true?A.

51、the Chinese have been able to eventually escape discrimination.B. Every group has been able to eventually escape discrimination.C. There is still the problem of discrimination in the U.S.D. The Irish and Italians were once discriminated against.20.Which group has done the most to make the U.S. a gre
