The first of
9、these was a colonial institution. It began in New England with the establishment in 1635 of the Boston Free Latin School. The curriculum consisted mainly of the classical languages, and the purpose of this kind of school was the preparation of boys for college, where most of them would be fitted for
10、 the ministry.The academy began in the early 1750s with Benjamin Franklins school in Philadelphia, which later became the University of Pennsylvania. It extended generally to about the middle nineteenth century, except in the southern states where the public high school was late in developing and wh
11、ere the academy continued to be a principal means of secondary education even after 1900.The academy was open to girls as well as to boys, and it provided a wider curriculum than what the Latin grammar school had furnished. It was designed not only as a preparation for college but also for practical
12、 life in commercial and business activities. Although its wide educational values are evident and are recognized as important contributions to secondary education in this country, the academy has never been considered a public institution as the public high school has come to be.The public high scho
13、ol had its origin in Massachusetts in 1821 when the English Classical School was established in Boston. In 1827,the state enacted the first state wide public highschool law in the United States. By 1840,there were perhaps a dozen public high schools in Massachusetts and many in other eastern states
14、by 1850,they could also be found in many other states. Just as the curriculum of the academy grew out of that of the Latin grammar school, the curriculum of the public high school developed out of that of the academy. The public high school in the United States is a repudiation of the aristocratic a
15、nd selective principle of the European educational tradition. Since 1890,enrollments in secondary schools, mainly public high schools, have practically doubled in this country every ten years.56According to the passage, which of the following sequences indicates the order in which the schools develo

21、, Adam Smith, thought that the “whole annual produce of the land and labour of every country” provided revenue to “three different orders of people: those who live by rent, those who live by wages, and those who live by profit”. Each successive stage of the industrial revolution, however, made the s
22、ocial structure more complicated.Many intermediate groups grew up during the nineteenth century between the upper middle class and the working class. There were smallscale industrialists as well as large ones, small shopkeepers and tradesmen, officials and salaried employees, skilled and unskilled w
23、orkers, and professional men such as doctors and teachers. Farmers and peasants continued in all countries as independent groups.During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries the possession of wealth inevitably affected a persons social position. Intelligent industrialists with initiative made
24、 fortunes by their wits which lifted them into an economic group far higher than that of their workingclass parents. But they lacked social training of the upper class, who despised them as the “new rich.”They often sent their sons and daughters to special school to acquire social training. Here the
25、ir children, mixed with the children of the upper classes, were accepted by them, and very often found marriage partners from among them. In the same way, a thrifty, hardworking labourer, though not clever himself, might save for his son enough to pay for an extended secondary school education in th
26、e hope that he would move in a “white collar” occupation, carrying with it a higher salary and a move up in the social scale.In the twentieth century the increased taxation of higher incomes, the growth of the social services, and the wider development of educational opportunity have considerably al
27、tered the social outlook. The upper classes no longer are the sole, or even the main possessors of wealth, power and education, though inherited social position still carries considerable prestige.61What criterion did Adam Smith seem to go by in his classification of social groups?AThe amount of wea
28、lthBThe amount of moneyCThe social statusDThe way of getting money62If you compare the first and second paragraph, what groups of people did Adam Smith leave out in his classification?AOfficials and employees.BPeasants and farmers.CDoctors and teachers.DTradesmen and landlords.63Who were the new ric
29、h during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries?AThey were still the upper class people. BThey were owners of large factories.CThey were intelligent industrialists.DThey were skilled workers who made their fortune.64According to the passage, what did those people do who intended to make their
30、children move up in the social ladder?AThey saved a lot of money for their children to receive higher education.BThey tried to find marriage partners from the children of the upper class.CThey made greater fortunes by their wits.DThey worked even harder to acquire social training.65In the twentieth
31、century class differences have been partly smoothed out by _.Aincreased income and decreased taxationBtaxation, social services and educational opportunitiesCeducation, the increase of income and industrial developmentDthe decrease of the upper class populationlabour revenue upper alter inherit 任务型阅
32、读If you and your friends wish to share a secret, you can write it in code, and no one else will be able to read it. Codes are one way of writing in secrets. Ciphers(暗码) are another. In the code each word is written as a secret code or word number. In a cipher each letter is changed.Codes and ciphers
33、 have played an important role in the history of the word. Julius Caesar, the Roman ruler who defeated almost all the countries in Europe about 2000years ago, used a cipher when he sent secret messages to his troops. During American Revolution, George Washingtons spies used a kind of code to send hi
34、m information about the enemy before his military（军事的） action. In World War 2,the American “broke”, or figured out, Japans most important navy codes and got enough information to destroy a powerful Japanese fleet（舰队）。Storekeepers use codes to mark their goods. The codes show how much was paid for th
35、e goods or when they were added to the stock. Businessman use codes to hide plans from their business enemies. Sometimes personal letters or diaries are written in code. Many people enjoy figuring out codes and ciphers simply as a hobby.In the 16th century, codes and ciphers were very popular among
36、scientists. They wrote messages to each other in code so that no one else would learn their secrets. Geronimo Gardano, an Italian astrologer（星相家）,mathematician, and doctor, invented the trellis ciphers. He took two sheets of paper and cut exactly the same holes in each one. Then he sent one sheet, w
37、hich he called a trellis, to a friend and kept the other for himself. Whenever he wanted to write a message, he put his trellis, over the clean sheet of paper and wrote the secret message through the holes. Then he removed the trellis and filed the rest of the paper with words that would make sense.
38、 When his friends received it, He put his trellis over the writing and read the secret message.Title 71. AspectsIn wars72.
