In the 1880s, Mark Twain established and operated his own publishing firm. He also became interested in various investments, especially an elaborate typesetting machine. He lost almost $200,000 in investments in the machine between 1881 and 1894. Also, his publishing company declared bankruptcy (破产) in April 1894. Thus, in January 1895, Mark Twain found himself publicly shamed by his inability to pay his debts. Mark Twain eventually recovered from his financial difficulties, through his continued writing and a successful lecture tour in 1895 and 1896. During this much-publicized tour, Twain lectured in such places as India, South Africa and Australia. By the time he returned, he had become an international hero. Twain enjoyed this attention, and his habits of smoking cigars or a pipe and wearing unconventional white suits contributed to his showy image. He also made use of his position as a public figure to criticize the US foreign policy. Although he was recovering from his financial problems by 1898, Mark Twain had begun to experience tragedy in his personal life. Suzy, his oldest daughter, died of meningitis (脑膜炎) in 1896, while her parents and sister Clara were abroad. In 1903, Mark Twain sold the beloved house in Hartford, which had become too closely associated with Suzy’s death. His wife, Olivia, who had developed a heart condition, died on June 5, 1904. His youngest daughter, Jean, died on Dec. 24, 1909. 1.Which is not the reason why Mark Twain found himself in debt? A. Because he devoted all his energy to his writings. B. Because his publishing firm bankruptcy. C. He lost almost $ 200 000 in investments in the machine between 1881 and 1894 D. Because he lost a large quantity of money in various investments. 2.How did Mark Twain pay off his debts? A. By borrowing money from the bank. B. By investing in foreign countries. C. By writing articles and a successful lecture tour. D. By printing his own articles and selling them for money. 3.It can be inferred that Mark Twain ________________. A. hated smoking cigars B. liked wearing black clothes C. hated the US foreign policy at that time D. hated giving lectures in the foreign countries

Tea drinking was common in China for nearly one thousand years before anyone in Europe had ever heard about tea．People in Britain were much slower in finding out what tea was like, mainly because tea was very expensive. It could not be bought in shops and even those people who could afford to have it sent from Holland did so only because it was a fashionable curiosity. Some of them were not sure how to use it. They thought it was a vegetable and tried cooking the leaves. Then they served them mixed with butter and salt. They soon discovered their mistake but many people used to spread the used tea leaves on bread and give them to their children as sandwiches. Tea remained scarce and very expensive in England until the ships of the East Indian Company began to bring it direct from China early in the seventeenth century. During the next few years so much tea came into the country that the price fell and many people could afford to buy it. At the same time people on the Continent were becoming more and more fond of tea．Until then tea had been drunk without milk in it, but one day a famous French lady named Madame de Sevigne decided to see what tea tasted like when milk was added．She found it so pleasant that she would never again drink it without milk. Because she was such a great lady her friends thought they must copy everything she did, so they also drank their tea with milk in it. Slowly this habit spread until it reached England and today only very few British drink tea without milk. At first, tea was usually drunk after dinner in the evening. No one ever thought of drinking tea in the afternoon until a duchess (公爵夫人) found that a cup of tea and a piece of cake at three or four o’clock stopped her getting “a sinking feeling” as she called it. She invited her friends to have this new meal with her and so, tea-time was born. 1.Which of the following is true of the introduction of tea into Britain? A. The British got expensive tea from India. B. Tea reached Britain from Holland. C．The British were the first people in Europe who drank tea. D．It was not until the 17th century that the British had tea. 2.Tea became a popular drink in Britain_____________. A．in eighteenth century B．in sixteenth century C．in seventeenth century D．in the late seventeenth century 3.People in Europe began to drink tea with milk because_____________. A．it tasted like milk B．it tasted more pleasant C．it became a popular drink D．Madame de Sevigne was such a lady with great social influence that people tried to copy the way she drank tea 4.We may infer from the passage that the habit of drinking tea in Britain was mostly due to the influence of ________. A．a famous French lady B．the ancient Chinese C．the upper social class D．people in Holland 5.What does the passage mainly talk about? A．The history of tea drinking in Britain B．How tea became a popular drink in Britain C．How the British got the habit of drinking tea D．How tea-time was born

I went over to my grandmother’s house today and she didn’t have time for me. You see, the lady’s husband downstairs died and my Grandmother wanted to make some cookies for her. My grandmother did not analyze (分析) how the lady treated her, or if the lady needed any cookies, or even if the lady would like the cookies. She didn’t think how much the lady has done for her. She simply began baking. My Grandmother turned 94 last week and this I believe is her secret to life. My grandmother is generous (慷慨) and hard-working in a way that is rare for our time. She lives by a simple belief: if someone needs your help, you help. Never mind all the analyzing and thinking whether the person deserves or appreciates the help. My grandmother doesn’t sit around thinking about who might be making use of her: she simply does what is needed. At 94, she is busy in life. She is making a blanket for a new great grandchild, and worries that I don’t have enough kitchen towels for my home. She always brings soup to a sick neighbor, and teaches the new wife of her cousin (who is 88) how to cook Italian food. My grandmother had every right to give up, but she didn’t — and amazingly life did bring her good things, like a husband with twinkling blue eyes who was much ahead of his time and believed that men should do an equal amount of cooking and cleaning in the home, three beautiful children (my father and two aunts), 22 grandchildren, and five great grandchildren. My grandmother is not afraid to give someone she barely knows a bowl of soup. She never keeps herself out of the world. 1.The reason why my grandmother made cookies for the lady downstairs is that ________. A. she thought the lady was too busy B. she would make them as thanks to her C. she thought she should do something for the lady at the special time D. they had had an agreement before 2.In the writer’s opinion, ________. A. my grandmother has a secret way of living B. my grandmother does everything on careful consideration C. few people are as generous as my grandmother now D. my grandmother will get something in return 3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A. My grandmother cares for her children even some strangers. B. My grandfather does not treat women in an unfair way. C. This is a family in which there are nearly 30 people now. D. My grandmother never keeps everything for herself. 4.We may infer from the text that the writer ________. A. thinks his grandmother is living a tired life B. thinks his grandmother is doing what she should do C. thinks his grandmother should not be so kind D. is proud of his grandmother
