Passage OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.During the early years of this century，wheat was seen as the very lifeblood of Western Canada. When the crops were good，the economy was good；when the crops failed. there was depression. People on city streets watched the yields and the price of wheat with almost as much feeling as if they were growers. The marketing of wheat became an increasingly favorite topic of conversation.War set the stage for the most dramatic events in marketing the western crop. For years farmers mistrusted speculative(投机的)grain selling as carried on through the Winnipeg Grain Exchange. Wheat prices were generally low in the autumn，but farmers could not wait for markets to improve. It had happened too often that they sold their wheat soon after harvest when farm debts were coming due，only to see prices rising and speculators getting rich. On various occasions，producer groups asked for firmer controls，but governments had no wish to become involved，at least not until wartime wheat prices threatened to run wild.Anxious to check inflation(通货膨胀)and rising living costs，the federal government appointed a board of grain supervisors(监视员)to handle deliveries from the crops of 1917 and 1918. Grain Exchange trading was suspended，and farmers sold at prices fixed by the board. To handle the crop of 1919，the government appointed the first Canadian Wheat Board，with full authority to buy，sell. and set prices.The author uses the term “lifeblood” to indicate that wheat was______.A. difficult to produce in large quantitiesB. susceptible to many parasites(寄生虫)C. essential to the health of the countryD. expensive to gather and transport
According to the passage，most farmers' debts had to be paid______.A. when the autumn harvest had just been completedB. because wheat prices were highC. as soon as the Winnipeg Grain Exchange demanded paymentD. when crop failure caused depression
Passage ThreePeople enjoy talking about "firsts." They like to remember their first love or their first car. But not all firstsare happy ones. Few people enjoy recalling the firsts that are bad.One of history's bad but important firsts was the first car accident. Autos were still young when it happened. The crash took place in New York City. The year was 1896. The month was May. A man from Massachusetts was visiting the city in his new car. At the time, bicycle riders were still trying to get used to the new set of wheels on the road. No one is sure who was at fault. In any case, the bike and the car collided. The man on the bike was injured. The driver of the car had to stay in jail and wait for the hospital report on the bicycle rider. Luckily, the rider was not killed.Three years later, another automobile first took place. The scene was again New York City, a real estate broker named Henry Bliss stepped off a streetcar. He was hit by a passing car. Once again, no one is sure just how it happened or whose fault it was. The driver of the car was put in jail. Poor Mr. Bliss became the first person to die in a car accident.44. In each accident the driver was ______.A. found guiltyB. set freeC. laughed atD. put in jail for a while

回答 68 ~ 71 题： D Liverpool, my hometown, is a unique city.It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage（遗产）Site.I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey.Blanketed in mist（薄雾），Victorian architecture rose from the banks of the river, responded to the sounds of sea-birds, and appeared unbelievably charming.When I headed toward the centre, I found myself surrounded by buildings that mirror the best palaces of Europe.It is not hard to imagine why, on first seeing the city, most visitors would be overpowered by the beauty of the noble buildings, which are solid signs of Liverpool’s history.As if to stress its cultural role, Liverpool has more museums and galleries（美术馆）than most cities in Britain.

It is a monument to perfection, and a heritage attraction itself.Being a World Heritage Site , my home city is certainly a place of “outstanding universal value.It is a treasure nouse with plenty of secrets for the world to explore.第13题：Visitors who see the city for the first time would be deeply impressed by________A． its charming banksB． its famous museumsC． its wonderful palacesD． its attractive buildings
