dont know if either storyis true,but they are both interesting.The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very littleeducation.In fact,he had difficulty reading and

far morefood than the present population needs,its people are by now almost entirely anurban society Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture andforestry(林业),and most of the rest live in or around towns,small and large.Herethe traditional pictureis changing:every small town may still be very like othersmall towns,and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of thecountry,but most Americans do not live in small towns any more.Half the populationnow lives in some thirty metropolitan areas(1arge cities with their suburbs,ofmore than a million people each-a larger proportion than in Germany or England,letalone France.The statistics(统计)of urban and rural population should be treatedwith caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travelby car to work in a nearby town each day.As the rush to live out of town continues.rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses,so that it ishard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb but more and morethe typical American lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment.创 作人：历恰面日 期：二 零 二二 年 1 月 1 日创 作人：历恰面日 期：二 零 二二 年 1 月 1 日()25.If now

possibly suggest itself to him:thatof William Shakespeare Every Englishman has some knowledge,however slight,of thework of our greatest writer.All of US use words,phrases and quotations fromShakespeares writings that have become part of the common property of theEnglish-speaking people.Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source ofthe words we used,rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance ofHamlet and complained that it was full of wellknown proverbs and quotations.Shakespeare,more perhaps than any other writer,makes full use of the greatresources of the English language.Most of US use about five thousand words in ournormal use of English;Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand.There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness andvariety of the English language than by studying the various ways in whichShakespeare used it.Such a study is well worth the effort(it is not,of course,recommended to beginners)even though some aspects of English usage,and the meaningof many words,have changed since Shakespeares day.()30.English people .A.have never discussed who is the worlds greatest dramatistB.never discuss any issue concerning the worlds greatest dramatistC.are sure who is the worlds greatest dramatistD.do not care who is the worlds greatest poet and dramatist创 作人：历恰面日 期：二 零 二二

English.C.It is likely to be true that people often do not know the origins of the wordsthey useD.All the words people use are taken from the writings of Shakespeare()33.What does the word“proverb mean?A.Familiar sayings B.Shakespeares plays.C.Complaints.D.Actors and actresses.DTrees are useful to man in three very important ways:they provide him wood andother products;they give him shade;and they help to prevent drought(干旱)andfloods.Unfortunately,in many parts of the world,man has not realized that the thirdof these services is the most important.In his eagerness to draw quick profit fromthe trees,he has cut them down in large numbers.创 作人：历恰面日 期：二 零 二二 年 1 月 1 日创 作人：历恰面日 期：二 零 二二 年 1 月 1 日Two thousand years ago,a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to buildwarships,with which to gain itself an empire It gained the empire but,without itstrees,its soil became bare and poor.When the empire fell to pieces,the countryfound itself faced by floods and starvation.Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees,it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this.They cut down the treesbut are too careless to plant and look after new trees So,unless the governmenthas a good system of control,or can educate the people,the forests slowly disappearThis does not only mean that there will be fewer trees.The results are evenmore serious:for where there are trees,their roots break the soil up,allowingthe rain to sink in,and also bind the soil.This prevents the soil from being washedaway.But where there are no trees,the rainfalls on hard ground and flows away onthe surface,and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil inwhich crops grow When a11 the topsoil is gone.nothing remains but worthless desert.()34.Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways,the most important of whichis that they can _ _.A.keep him from the hot sunshineB.enable him to build warshipsC.make him draw quick profit from themD.protect him from droughts and floods()35.Sooner or later the forests will disappear _ _.A.unless a country has a plenty supply of treesB.unless people stop cutting down their trees创 作人：历恰面日 期：二
