11、Dix left home at an early age of her own free will to live with her grandmother.At fourteen, Dorothea was teaching school at Worcester, Massachusetts. A short time after she had begun teaching, she established a school for young girls in her grandparents home. Stress was placed on moral character at

12、 Dorotheas school, which she conducted until she was thirty-three.She was forced to give up teaching at her grandparents home, however, when she became ill. A few year of inactivity followed.In 1841 Dorothea began to teach again, accepting a Sunday school class in the East Cambridge, in a Massachuse

13、tts jail. Here, she first came upon insane people locked up together with criminals.In those days insane people were treated even worse than criminals. There were only a few asylums in the entire country. Therefore jails, poor houses, and houses of correction were used to confine the insane.Dorothea

14、 Dix made a careful investigation of the inhuman treatment of the insane. It was considered unfit for a woman to devote herself to such work at this time. But this did not stop Dorothea Dix in her efforts to provide proper medical care for the insane.Gradually, because of her investigations, conditi

15、ons were improved. More than thirty mental institutions were founded or re-established in the United States because of her efforts. Dorothea also extended her investigations to England and to other parts of Europe.During the Civil War, Dorothea served as superintendent of women hospital nurses in th

16、e Union army. When the war was over, she returned to her work of improving conditions for insane people.16. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Treatment of Mental Illness.B. The Life of a Young English Woman C. An American HumanitarianD. Social Problems of the Nineteent

A. an illness B. her trip to England C. the Civil War D. her grandmothers deathPassage TwoThe faces of elderly, happily-married people sometimes resemble each other

20、. Dr. Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years. Each couple provided four photographs-one photo of each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later. All background was cut from the photos to remo

21、ve any clues. The photos were then displayed in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later. Some testees were asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first group. Their judgmen

22、ts were no better than chance. But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage, the testees were quite successful in deciding who was married to whom. They were particularly successful with the most happily-married couples. Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why coup

23、les grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation. One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else without knowing it. He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the faces of their loved ones. Another possible reason, he says, is the common experience of the couples. Ther

24、e is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways. For example, if a couple suffered from a lot of sad experiences, their faces are likely to change in a similar way.21. The main purpose of the passage is to _. A. tell how couples like each other B. s

25、how the life experience of husband and wife C. explain why couples grow alike D. describe the study on a number of married people22. In the testing, Dr. Aiken cut the background from those photos for the purpose of _. A. grouping those couples again B. leaving no trace for the testees C. imitating t

26、hose couples life D. leaving the testees more chances23. The testees failed to _. A. tell couples by looking at their photos taken when they got married B. distinguish happily-married couples from sadly-married couples C. discover the difference of each partner D. understand Dr. Aikens study thoroug

27、hly24. It can be inferred from the study that _. A. life experiences tend to change ones expression B. shared experiences may leave good impressions C. couples may learn from each other in sharing experiences D. couples tend to love and hate the same thing in life25. From the passage we can draw a c

28、onclusion that _. A. happily-married couples are often richer than other couples B. couples who look alike can live longer C. the influence between couples can be quite strong D. all couples have been proved to grow alikePassage ThreePublic goods are those commodities whose enjoyment nobody can be e

29、ffectively excluded. Everybody is free to enjoy the benefits of these commodities and one persons use does not reduce the possibilities of anybody elses enjoying the same good.Examples of public goods are not as rare as one might expect. A flood control dam is a public good. Once the dam is built, a

30、ll persons living in the area will benefit-regardless of their own contribution to the construction cost of the dam. The same holds true for highway signs or aids in navigation. Once a lighthouse is built, no ship of any nationality can be effectively excluded from use of the lighthouse for navigati

31、onal purposes. National defence is another example. Even a person who voted against military costs or did not pay any taxes will benefit from the protection afforded.It is no easy task to determine the social costs and social benefits associated with a public good. There is no practicable way of charging drivers for looking at highway signs, sailors for watching a lighthouse and citizens for the security provided to them through national defe
