    9．In earliest times，men considered lightning to be one of the great mysteries of nature．
    Some ancient people believed that lightning and thunder were the weapons of the gods．
    In reality，lightning is a flow of electricity formed high above the earth．A single flash of lightning 1.6kilometres long has enough electricity to light one million light bulbs （灯泡）．
    The American scientist and statesman，Benjamin Franklin，was the first to show the connection between electricity and lightning in 1752．In the same year he also built the first lightning rod （避雷针）．This device protects buildings from being damaged by lightning．
    Modern science has discovered that one stroke of lightning has a voltage （电压） o more than 15million volts （伏特）．A flash of lightning between a cloud and the earth may be as long as 13kilometers，and travel at a speed of 30million meters per second．
    Scientists judge that there are about 2，000million flashes of lightning per year．Lightning hits the Empire State Building in New York City 30to 48times a year．In the United States alone it kills an average of one person every day．
    The safest place to be in case of an electrical storm is in a closed car．Outside，one should go to low ground and not get under trees．Also，one should stay out of water and away from metal fences．Inside a house，people should avoid open doorways and windows and not touch wires or metal things．
    With lightning，it is better to be safe than sorry？
    9．People once thought lightning came fromB．
    A．the sky          
    B．the gods       
    C．the earth       
    D．nature
    10．Lightning can travelD．
    A．as quickly as water            
    B．not so quickly as electricity
    C．at very low speed             
    D．at very high speed
    11．Which of the following is NOT true？C
    A．In the U．S about one person per day dies from lightning．
    B．The Empire State Building frequently gets hit by lightning．
    C．Swimming during a thunder storm is a good idea．
    D．A closed car is the best place to be during an electrical storm．
    12．According to the passage what do you think all buildings need？C
    A．Metal fences．
    B．Electricity．
    C．lightning rods．
    D．Machines．

    13．Laws that would have ensured pupils from five to 16received a full financial education got lost in the‘wash up'．An application is calling on the next government to bring it back．
    At school the children are taught to add up and subtract（减法） but，extraordinarily，are not routinely shown how to open a bank account-let alone how to manage their finances in an increasingly complex and demanding world．
    Today the parenting website Mumsnet and the consumer campaigner Martin Lewis have joined forces to launch an online application to make financial education a compulsory element of the school curriculum in England．Children from five to 16should be taught about everything from pocket money to pensions，they say．And that was exactly the plan preserved in the Children，Schools and Families bill that was shelved by the government in the so-called"wash-up"earlier this month-the rush to legislation before parliament was dismissed．Consumer and parent groups believe financial education has always been one of the most frustrating omissions of the curriculum（课程）．
    As the Personal Finance Education Group （Pfeg） points out，the good habits of young children do not last long．Over 75% of seven-to 11-year-olds are savers but by the time they get to 17，over half of them are in debt to family and friends．By this age，26% see a credit card or overdraft（透支） as a way of extending their spending power．Pfeg predicts that these young people will"find it much harder to avoid the serious unexpected dangers that have befallen many of their parents'generation unless they receive good quality financial education while at school．"
    The UK has been in the worst financial recession（衰退）for generations．It does seem odd that-unless parents step in-young people are left in the dark until they are cruelly introduced to the world of debt when they turn up at university．In a recent poll of over 8，000people，97% supported financial education in schools，while 3% said it was a job for parents．

    71．The passage is mainly aboutC．
    A．how to manage school lessons
    B．how to deal with the financial crisis
    C．teaching young people about money
    D．teaching students how to study effectively
    72．It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs thatA．
    A．the author complains about the school education
    B．pupils should not be taught to add up and subtract
    C．students have been taught to manage their finances
    D．laws on financial education have been effectively carried out
    73．The website and the consumer campaigner joined toD．
    A．instruct the pupils to donate their pocket money
    B．promote the connection of schools and families
    C．ask the government to dismiss the parliament
    D．appeal for the curriculum of financial education
    74．According to Pfeg，D．
    A．it is easy to keep good habits long
    B．teenagers spend their money as planned
    C．parents are willing to pay the debt for their kids
    D．it will be in trouble if the teenagers are left alone
    75．A poll is mentioned toA．
    A．stress the necessity of the curriculum reform
    B．show the seriousness of the financial recession
    C．make the readers aware of burden of the parents
    D．illustrate some people are strongly against the proposal．

    3．The Grapes of Wrath （愤怒的葡萄） ） is an American realist novel written by John Steinbeck and published in 1939．The book won the National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize for fiction shortly after its publication．It is frequently read in American high school and college literature classes due to its historical context and enduring legacy．
    Set during the Great Depression，the novel focuses on the Joads，a poor family of tenant farmers （佃农） driven from their Oklahoma home by drought，economic hardship and agricultural industry changes．Due to their nearly hopeless situation，the Joads set out for California．Along with thousands of other"Okies"，they sought jobs，land，dignity，and a future．As might be expected，the image created by the title serves as a vital symbol in the development of both the plot and the novel's greater thematic concerns：from the terrible oppression （压迫） will come terrible wrath （愤怒） but also the liberation of workers through their cooperation，which are implied but are not stated directly within the novel．
    Steinbeck wrote："I want to put a tag （标签） of shame on the greedy bastards （杂种） who
    are responsible for this．"This work won a large following among the working class due to
    Steinbeck's sympathy to the workers'movement and his accessible prose style．

    event．It was publicly banned and burned by citizens，it was debated on national talk radio； but above all，it was read．"Part of its impact arose from its passionate （饱含深情的） description of the difficult situations of the poor，and in fact，many of Steinbeck's contemporaries （同代人） attacked his social and political views．Bryan Cordyack writes，"Steinbeck was attacked as a propagandist（鼓动家） from both the left and the right of the political views．The most heated of these attacks came from the Associated Farmers of California； they were displeased with the book's description．of California farmers'attitudes and behaviors toward the migrants （季节工．They blamed the book as a'"pack of lies"．Some accused Steinbeck of exaggerating （夸大） camp （工棚） conditions to make a political point．Steinbeck had visited the camps well before publication of the novel and argued that their inhumane nature destroyed the settlers'spirit．
    In 1962，the Nobel Prize committee cited Grapes of Wrath as a"great work"and as one of
    the committee's main reasons for granting Steinbeck the Nobel Prize for Literature．Time
    magazine and BBC respectively included the novel in their"100Best English-language Novels"．

    62．Which of the following could b'e part of the plot of the novel The Grapes of Wrath？A
    A．The Joads family struggled their way through the hardships and harshness of life．
    B，The Joads appealed to his fellow migrants to unite in the fight against the greedy farmers．
    C．The Joads openly expressed their political dreams for equal rights and better lives．
    D．The Joads lived peacefully in Oklahoma farming on their own land．
    63．What does the underlined word"this"in Paragraph 4refer to？A
    A．The hopeless situation of the poor．
    B．The liberation of workers．
    C．The impacts of The Grapes of Wrath．
    D．The inhuman nature of the camps．
