8.        "Occupy Wall Street"movement started as       way of showing disappointment with the American society.(  )
A.An; aB.The; theC.不填; aD.The; a

分析 "占领华尔街"运动最初只是对美国社会表示失望的一种方式.

解答 答案:D
根据句意可知,"Occupy Wall Street"movement特指发生在美国的"占领华尔街"运动,所以第一个空白处应使用定冠词the表示特指;由于这项运动是对美国社会表示失望的一种方式,所以第二个空白处用不定冠词a表示泛指"一种方式";故选D

点评 本题考查了冠词的用法.在做本题时,首先根据句意判断出空白处的意义特征(表示特指还是泛指),然后结合定冠词及不定冠词的用法,选出正确答案;因此,做此类题时,需要熟练掌握定冠词,不定冠词以及零冠词的具体用法.

18.The need to feed a growing population is putting much pressure on the world's supply of water.With 97% of the world's water too salty to be drunk or used in agriculture,the worldwide Supply of water needs careful management,especially in agriculture,Although the idea of a water shortage(短缺)seems strange to someone fortunate enough to live in a high rainfall country,many of the world's agricultural industries experience constant water shortages.
Although dams can be built to store water for agricultural use in dry areas and dry seasons,the costs of water redistribution(重新分配) are very high.Not only is there the co st of the engineering itself,but there is also an environmental cost to be considered.Where valleys(山谷) are flooded to create dams,houses are lost and wildlife homes destroyed.Besides,water may flow easily through pipes to fields,but it cannot be transported from one side of the world to the other.Each country must therefore rely on the management of its own water to supply its farming requirements.
This is particularly troubling for countries with agricultural industries in areas dependent on irrigation(灌溉).In Texas,farmers'overuse of irrigation water has resulted in a 25% reduction of the water stores,In the Central Valley area of southwes tern USA,a huge water engineering project provided water for farming in dry valleys,but much of the water use has been poorly managed.
Saudi Arabia's attempts to grow wheat in desert areas have seen the pumping of huge quantities of irrigation(灌溉) water from underground reserves.Because there is no rainfall in these areas,such reserves can only decrease,and it is believed that fifty years of pumping will see them run dry.

1.Elizabeth Freeman was born about 1742 to African American parents who were slaves.At the age of six months she was acquired,along with her sister,by John Ashley,a wealthy Massachusetts slaveholders.She became known as"Mumbet"or"Mum Bett."
For nearly 30years Mumbet served the Ashley family.One day,Ashley's wife tried to strike Mumbet's sister with a spade.Mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead.Furious,she left the house and refused to come back.When the Ashleys tried to make her return,Mumbet consulted a lawyer,Theodore Sedgewick.With his help,Mumbet sued(起诉) for her freedom.
While serving the Ashleys,Mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new Massachusetts constitution.If the constitution said that all people were free and equal,then she thought it should apply to her.Eventually,Mumbet won her freedom----the first slave in Massachusetts to do so under the new constitution.
Strangely enough,after the trial,the Ashleys asked Mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee.She declined and instead went to work for Segdewick.Mumbet died in 1829,but her legacy lived on in her many descendants(后裔).One of her great-grandchildren was W.E.B.Du Bois,one of the founder of the NAACP,and an important writer and spokesperson for African American civil rights.
Mumbet's tombstone still stands in the Massachusetts cemetery where she was buried.It reads,in part:"She was born a slave and remained a slave and remained a slave for nearly thirty years.She could neither read nor write,yet in her own sphere she had no superior or equal."

B.She should be as free and equal as whites
C.How to be a good servant
