B Some of the notebooks of young Washington' s now kept in the museum. They show that he was learning Latin and was fond of reading English storybooks. At school Washington seemed only to be interested in maths. In fact his schooling was surprisingly short for a gentleman, and incomplete. For unlike other young Virginian gentlemen of that day, he did not go to the college of William and Mary in the Virginian Capital of Williamsburg. He received less formal(正式的)education then some other early American presidents such as John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. In later years, Washington probably regretted his lack (缺少) of formal training. He never felt comfortable in a debate(辩论) in the Congress(国会),or on any subject that had nothing to do with everyday, practical matters. And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders, he did not visit the country he admired so much. Thus, unlike Jefferson and Adams, he never reached Europe. 5. What reason does passage give for Washington not going to college? A. He had little schooling when he was a child. B. His family was too poor to sent him to college. C. He did not like to study with the young Virginian gentlemen. D. The passage does not give any reason for that. 6. What made Washington feel uncomfortable in Congress debates? A. His limited education. B. His shyness and nervousness. C. His weak knowledge of French. D. His being bad at speaking in public. 7. Which of the following is not true? A. Washington probably liked maths best at school. B. Washington had never learned any foreign language. C. Washington was more interested in practical matters. D. Madison received more formal education than Washington. 8. Washington had not visited France when he was in power mainly because ____. A. he did not know the French leaders well B. France was not friendly to America at die time C. he was unable to talk to the French leaders in French D. he had never received any invitation from France
C Doctors may now be able to stop many heart attacks. An important new study reports that doctors have a new medicine. This drug is called TPA. It may be better than any other heart drugs. Many doctors now use a drug called streptokinase. But this drug sometimes causes problems for patients. It can even cause bleeding（流血）in the brain. Some doctors do not use streptokinase. Streptokinase can save about 1/3 of the people with heart attacks. But TPA will save about 2/3. One reason TPA can help more people is because of time. This new drug is easier and faster to use. It will give doctors more time in hospitals. Then they can study the problem well. People with heart problems can also keep some TPA at home. When a heart attack starts, they can take some TPA right away. Then they will have time to get to the hospital. This is important because about 860,000 people in the United States die before they get to the hospital. This is another reason why TPA is good news for people with heart attacks. According to the study, it is much safer; it doesn’t cause other problems like streptokinase does. TAP works only on the heart. It does not have an effect on the blood or cause bleeding. Doctors plan to do more studies about TAP. They need to test this new drug on many more people with heart attacks. But in a few years, many doctors and hospitals will probably start using this exciting new drug. 9.In your opinion, the best title for this passage is . A. Heart Attacks B. A New Drug for Heart Attacks C. The Cause of Heart Attacks D. A Drug Called Streptokinase 10.The story says that TPA . A. is safer and faster than the old drug B. is very dangerous C. is slower and harder to use than the old drug D. causes many problems 11. This new drug may mean . A. more people will&n
