31、Americas first black poet. She was born in Sen egal, Africa, about 1753 and brought to America aboard a slave ship at about the age of seve n. Joh n and Susa nnah Wheatley bought her for three pounds at a slave auct ion in Bost on in 1761 to be a pers onal serva nt of Mrs. Wheatley. The family had t

32、hree other slaves, and all were treated with respect. Phyllis was soon accepted as one of the family, which in cluded being raised and educated with the Wheatleys twin 15-year-old children, Mary and Nathaniel. At that time, most females, even from better families, could not read and write, but Mary

33、was probably one of the best educated young wome n in Bost on. Mary wan ted to become a teacher, and in fact, it was Mary who decided to take charge of Phylliss education. Phyllis soon displayed her remarkable tale nts. At the age of twelve she was read ing the Greek and Lat in classics and passages

34、 from the Bible. And eve ntually, Mrs. Wheatley decided Phyllis should become a Christia n. At the age of thirteen Phyllis wrote her first poem. She became a Bost on sen sati on after she wrote a poem on the death of the eva ngelical preacher George Whitfield in 1770. It became com mon practice in B

35、ost on to have Mrs. Wheatleys Phyllis read poetry in polite society. Mary married in 1771, and Phyllis later moved to the country because of poor health, as a teacher and caretaker to a farmers three children. Mary had tried to interest publishers in Phylliss poems but once they heard she was a Negr

36、o they were nt interested. Then in 1773 Phyllis went with Nathaniel, who was now a businessman, to London. It was thought that a sea voyage might improve her health. Thirty-nine of her poems were published in London as Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral. It was the first book published b

37、y a black American. In 1775 Phyllis wrote a poem extolling the accomplishments of George Washington and sent it to him. He responded by praising her talents and inviting her to visit his headquarters. After both of her benefactors died in 1777, and Mary died in 1778, Phyllis was freed as a slave. Sh

38、e married in 1778, moved away from Boston, and had three children. But after the unhappy marriage, she moved back to Boston, and died in poverty at the age of thirty. What does the passage mainly discuss? A Slavery and the treatment of the black people in America. B The Wheatley family, including th

39、eir slaves. C The life of Americas first black poet. 第 2 題 The underlined word respect in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to A consideration B disregard C punishment 第 3 題 According to the passage, how many slaves did the Wheatleys have? A One. B Two. C Three. D Four. 第 4 題 According to the passag

40、e, an unusual feature of Mary was that she A was not much older than Phyllis B wanted to become a teacher C was comparatively well educated D decided to take charge of Phylliss education 第 5 題 The underlined word eventually in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to A ultimately B slowly C reluctantly

41、D gradually 第 6 題 Which of the following is NOT true about Phyllis in the early 1770s? A She wrote her first poem when in her teens. B She married in 1771. C She became a teacher.

45、 of isolated roots was quite simple. They required sugar and the usual minerals and vitamins. However, they did not require organic nitrogen compounds. These roots got along fine on mineral inorganic nitrogen. Roots are capable of making their own proteins and other organic compounds. These activiti

46、es by roots require energy, of course. The process of respiration uses sugar to make the high energy compound ATP, which drives the biochemical reactions. Respiration also requires oxygen. Highly active roots require a good deal of oxygen. The study of isolated roots has provided an understanding of

47、 the relationship between shoots and roots in intact plants. The leaves of the shoots provide the roots with sugar and vitamins, and the roots provide the shoots with water and minerals. In addition, roots can provide the shoots with organic nitrogen compounds. This comes in handy for the growth of

48、buds in the early spring when leaves are not yet functioning. Once leaves begin photosynthesizing, they produce protein, but only mature leaves can export protein to the rest of the plant in the form of amino acids. What is the main topic of the passage? A The relationship between a plants roots and

49、 its shoots. B What can be learned by growing roots in isolation. C How plants can be grown without roots. D What elements are necessary for the growth of plants. 第 12 題 The underlined word themselves in Paragraph 1 refers to A plant physiologists B solutions C laboratory flasks D roots 第 13 題 The s

50、cientists found what the isolated roots need is A quite natural B sugar, minerals and vitamins C some rare vitamins D organic nitrogen compounds 第 14 題 Roots have the ability to _ . A make proteins B obtain fresh air C produce inorganic nitrogen D carry out activities without energy 第 15 題 According

51、 to the passage, what is ATP? A A biochemical process. B The tip of a root. C A chemical compound. D A type of plant cell. 第 16 題 The underlined word intact in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to _ . A mature B wild C whole D tiny 第 17 題 The use of the phrase comes in handy underlined in Paragraph

52、2 indicates that the process is _ . A unavoidable B predictable C necessary D successful 第 18 題 It can be inferred from the passage that, in the early spring, the buds of plants _ . A export protein in the form of amino acids B do not require water C have begun photosynthesizing D obtain organic com

53、pounds from the root 第 19 題 Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage? A The results of two experiments are compared. B A generalization is made, and several examples of it are given. C The findings of an experiment are explained. D A hypothesis is presented, and several

54、means of proving it are suggested. 第 20 題 Where is this passage likely to be found? A A newsletter. B A magazine. C A storybook. D A novel. 第 21 題 Natural flavorings and fragrances are often costly and limited in supply. For example, the vital ingredient in a rose fragrance is extracted from natural

55、 rose oil at a cost of thousands of dollars a pound; an identical synthetic substance can be made for 1% of this cost. Since the early twentieth century, success in reproducing these substances has created a new industry that today produces hundreds of artificial flavors and fragrances. Some natural

56、 fragrances are easily synthesized; these include vanillin, the aromatic ingredient in vanilla, and benzaldehyde, the aromatic ingredient in wild cherries. Other fragrances, however, have dozens, even hundreds of components. Only recently has it been possible to separate and identify these ingredien

57、ts by the use of gas chromatography and spectroscopy. Once the chemical identity is known, it is often possible to synthesize them. Nevertheless, some complex substances, such as the aroma of fresh coffee, have still not been duplicated satisfactorily. Many of the chemical compounds making up these

58、synthetics are identical to those found in nature, and are as harmless or harmful as the natural substances. New products must be tested for safety, and when used in food, must be approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. The availability of synthetic flavors and fragrances has made possibl

59、e a large variety of products, from inexpensive beverages to perfumed soap to used cars with applied new car odor. From the passage we can learn that _ . A natural flavorings and fragrances are not quite dear B the limitation of natural flavorings and fragrances is clear C the supply of natural flav

60、orings and fragrances is adequate to meet the demand D the cost of producing natural flavorings and fragrances is high 第 22 題 Which of the following is true according to the passage? A Natural rose fragrance is 100 times more expensive to produce than artificial rose fragrance. B The most important
