33、 52 are based on the following passage:No one expressed this attitude more strongly than Noah Webster (1758- 1843). Born near Hartford, Connecticut, he received his education at YaleCollegeand laterbegan topractiselaw.But businessinthisprofessionwas slow,and he was forcedtoturntoteaching.As a teache

34、r,he soondiscovered that the English school books then in use were unsatisfactory, and theAmerican Revolutionreducedthesupplyofsuchbooks astherewere. Webster therefore began to work on three simple books on English, a spelling book,a grammar, and a reader, and these were the first books of their kin

35、d to bepublished in this country. The success of the first part was surprisinglygreat. It was soon issued again under the title THE AMERICAN SPELLING BOOK, and in this form about 80 million copies were sold during the next hundredyears. From a profit of less than one cent a copy, Webster got most of

36、 hisincome for the rest of his life. Not only did the little book have greatinfluenceon many generationsofschoolchildren,butitalsohad theeffect or turning its author's attention to questions of language. In 1806 heproduced a small dictionary, and this was followed by his greatest work, AN AMERIC

37、ANDICTIONARY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE,publishedintwo volumesin1828.In both of these works and in many smaller writings he had one purpose: to show that the English language in his country was a truly American thing, developing in its own special way and deserving to be considered from an independent,

38、 American point of view. As he himself wrote," It is not onlyimportant,butina degreenecessary,thatthepeopleofthis'countryshouldhave an AMERICAN DICTIONARY of the English language; for, although the body of the language is the same as in England.some differences exist Noperson in this countr

39、y will be satisfied with the English definitions of the words congress, senate, assembly, court, and so forth, for although theseare words used in England, yet they are applied in this country to expressideas which they do not express in that country." By giving American meanings and American p

40、ronunciation, by adopting a number of American spellings, and especially by introducing quotations from American authors beside those from English literature, he was able, to a great extent, to justify the title ofhis work. If, after a hundred years, some people still doubt the existence of a separa

41、te American language, his efforts, nevertheless, have left a lasting mark on the language of his country.49.

45、so acquired doctoral degrees in philosophy and music. His wife tookan interest in medicine too and became a nurse.

46、wn conscience. This led him to Africa. Albert had felt thatall men should accept the responsibility of helping others. He felt particularly concerned for black Africans who had been exploited by whitemen. He earnedthemoney he needed by performingon theorganand by lecturing.With this money he bought

47、equipment and opened a hospital in Africa. He was a man of great strength who faced great problems with courage.

51、ars old B. 80 years old C. 90 years old D. 100 years oldQuestions 57 to 60 are based on the following passage:The oldest and simplest method, then of describing differences in personality was to classify people according to types, and such a system is called a Typology. A famous example of this meth

52、od was set forth in Greece about the year 400 B. C. A physician named Hippocrates theorized that therewere four fluids, or humors, in the body. Corresponding to each humor, he believed, there existed a definite type of personality.The four humors were blood, yellow bile, black bile, and phlegm. A pe

53、rson in whom all four humors were in perfect balance had a harmonious personality.If a person had too much blood, he was called sanguine ( 血 紅 色 ), or cheerful and optimistic. Someone with too much yellow bile was choleric, or irritableand easily angered. Too much black bile made a person melancholy

54、, or depressed and pessimistic. An oversupply of phlegm caused a human being to be phlegmatic, or slow and unfeeling. Scientists have long since discarded Hippocrates'fluid theory. But the names of the humors, corresponding to these temperaments, have survived and are still useful, to some extent, in describing personality.Otherfeaturesofpeople,such as theirfacesand physics,have alsobeen used to classify personality. Today, however, personality theories andclassifications may also include factors such as heredity (遺傳特征 ), theenvironment, intelligence, and emotional needs.
