4、uren was called“OK”Passage 1 这里要讲述 Andrew Jackson 和 Martin Van Buren 这 2 届美国总统的小故事。这 2 个小故事也许可以解释美语中 OK 一词的来历。故事的真实性我们不得而知,不过内容却很有意思。第一个解释来源于总统 Andrew Jackson 的故事。Andrew Jackson 几乎没有受到过什么教育,事实上,他对于日常的读写都有困难。当收到重要文件的时候,在尝试阅读之后,还是让他的助手帮忙解释文件的内容。如果批准一份文件,Andrew Jackson 就在上面写“all correct”。麻烦的是,他不知道怎么这 2
5、 个单词怎么拼写,因此,实际上他在文件上写的是“ol korekt”。过了不久,他又把这 2 个单词缩写为“OK”。第二个解释来源于总统 Martin Van Buren 的家乡的名字纽约的 Kinderhook。为了帮助 Van Buren 成为总统,他的朋友为此组织了一个社团。他们把这个社团叫做 Old Kinderhook Club,社团中支持Van Buren 的人都被称为“OK”31The author C A.believes both of the stories Bdoesnt believe a word of the stories Cis not sure whether

9、Old Kinderhook Club”Passage 2 Although the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs,its people are by now almost entirely an urban society Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry(林业),and most of the rest l
10、ive in or around towns,small and large Here the traditional picture is changing:every small town may still be very like other small towns,and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country,but most Americans do not live in small towns any moreHalf the population now lives

12、ural travel by 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 is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb But more and more the typical American lives in a metropolita
13、n rather than a small town environment Passage 2 尽管美国幅员辽阔,而且土地所产出的粮食远远超过现有人口的需求,现今的美国却几乎完全是个都市化的国家。不足十分之一的人口在从事农业和林业,而剩余的大多数人都居住在大大小小的城镇中或者城镇的周围。传统的景象在这里不断发生着变化:小的城镇之间仍然彼此十分相似,典型的小城镇还是呈现出大家心目中的乡村的风貌;但是大部分的美国人却不再住在小城镇了。现在半数的人口都在大约 30 几个大都市地区(包括附近郊区的大型城市)这种大都市地区的人口都在百万以上,总的都市人口数量远远超过德国和英国,更不用说法国了。城市和乡
14、村的人口统计需要特别对待,因为我们所谓的住在乡村的人们,每天都会开车前往附近的城镇工作。当远离城镇居住的热潮持续的情况下,城镇周围的乡村地区逐渐盖满了房屋。那么说不定什么时候,一块乡村的地区就变成了城市的郊区。不过,典型的美国人还是越来越趋向于居住在大都市而不是小城镇的环境中。36 If now America has 250 million people how many of them are engaged in agriculture and forestry?(C)AAbout 25 million BMore than 25 million CLess than 25 millio

19、ly what we were doing a year ago,we should probably have to say that we could not remember But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day,we should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history Many things have been forgotten because we do no
20、t have any written account of them Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country,but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to WriteFor example,we kn

23、t their fathers did in the past This we may call remembered history Some of it has now been written down.It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is,because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writingBut where there are no writ
24、ten records,such spoken stories are often very helpful Passage 3 当我们被问起准确的说书一年之前的这个时候我们正在做什么,我们可能不得不承认记不得了。但是,如果我们有个册子,上面记录了每天我们做过什么的话,这个问题就不难给出答案了。对于历史的记录也是如此。许多事情由于没有任何书面的记录而被人遗忘。有时也有人会对于他们国家发生的重要事件进行记录,但是这些记录往往毁于火灾或者战乱。有时也因为那个地方或那个时代的人不会写字,而根本不会有书面记录的存在。譬如说,因为中国 4 千年前的古人会写字而且给后人留下了很多文献,所以我们对那个时代的
25、中国人十分了解;但是对于甚至 2 百年前的中非人,由于他们不会写字,而使我们对其几乎一无所知。当然了,有的时候就算人们不会写字,对于过去的历史也会多少有些了解。也许是从老的真实性我们不得而知不过内容却很有意思第一个解释来源于总统的故事几乎没有受到过什么教育事实上他对于日常的读写都有困难当收到重要文件的时候在尝试阅读之后还是让他的助手帮忙解释文件的内容如果批准一份文件就在二个解释来源于总统的家乡的字纽约的为了帮助成为总统他的朋友为此组织了一个社团他们把这个社团叫做社团中支持的人都被称为学习必备欢迎下载林业统计尽管美国幅员辽阔而且土地所产出的粮食远远超过现有人口的需求现今的城镇中或者城镇的周围传统
