16、ce in Virginia in the spring of 1863. For months, the two armies had been staying on opposite banks of a narrow river. The Confederate（南方聯(lián)盟） troops were led by perhaps (21) _ (honored) military tactician（戰(zhàn)略家） in American history, General Robert E. Lee. The Union （北方聯(lián)盟）soldiers were led by “Fighting”
17、 Joe Hooker. In appearance, personality, and lifestyle, these men were nearly perfect opposites. Lee, an older man in poor health with a gray beard, had a solemn, measured character. Hooker was a blond, broad-shouldered young man (22) _ pride over his appearance was but one aspect of his self-center
18、edness. Whereas Lee was loyal and principled, Hooker was known for his rollicking enjoyment of both women and whiskey. Despite the fact that the Confederacy (23) _ (win) the last four major battles and the Union soldiers were starving, (24) _ (exhaust), and demoralized, Hooker proclaimed, “My plans
19、are perfect. And when I start to carry them out, (25) _ God have mercy on Bobby Lee, for I shall have none.” Why was Hooker so confident? Hooker had used spies, analysts, and even hot air balloons to compile a vast amount of intelligence about Lees army. He had already been aware, for example, (26)
20、_ Lee had only 61,000 men to Hookers own 134,000. Supported by his superior numbers, Hooker secretly moved 70,000 of his men fifteen miles up and across the river, and then ordered them to sneak back down to position themselves (27) _ Lees army. In effect, Hooker had cut off the Confederate soldiers
21、 in front and behind. They were trapped. Satisfied with his advantage, Hooker became convinced that Lees only option was to retreat to Richmond, thus (28) _ (assure) a Union victory. Yet Lee, despite his disadvantages of both numbers and position, did not retreat. Instead, he moved his troops into p
22、osition to attack. Union soldiers who tried to warn Hooker that Lee was on the offensive (29) _ (dismiss) as cowards. Having become convinced that Lee had no choice but (30) _ (retreat), Hooker began to ignore reality. When Lees army attacked the Union soldiers at 5:00 p.m., they were eating supper,
23、 completely unprepared for battle. They abandoned their rifles and fled as Lees troops came shrieking out of the brush, bayonets drawn. Against all odds, Lee won the Battle of Chancellorsville, and Hookers forces withdrew in defeat. Section B Directions: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen
24、from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.A. inadequate B. repeatedly C. process D. achieve E. directed F. reactionsG. raising H. eliminate I. characterized J. immediate K. mechanismThe human body can tolerate only a small range of temperature, esp

26、.Heat exhaustion is generally (33) _ by sweaty skin, tiredness, sickness, dizziness, plentiful sweating, and sometimes fainting, resulting from a(n) (34) _ intake of water and the loss of fluids. First aid treatment for this condition includes having the victim lie down, (35) _ the feet 8 to 12 inch
27、es, applying cool, wet cloths to the skin, and giving the victim sips of salt water (1 teaspoon per glass, half a glass every 15 minutes) over a 1-hour period.Heat stroke is much more serious; it is a(n) (36) _ life-threatening situation. The characteristics of heat stroke are a high body temperatur
28、e (which may reach 106 F or more); a rapid pulse; hot, dry skin; and a blocked sweating (37) _. Victims of this condition may be unconscious, and first-aid measures should be (38) _ at quickly cooling the body. The victim should be placed in a tub of cold water or (39) _ sponged with cool water unti
29、l his or her temperature is sufficiently lowered. Fans or air conditioners will also help with the cooling (40) _.

30、here are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. For centuries, time was measured by the position of the sun with the use of sundials. Noon was recognized when the sun was the highest in the sky, and cities would set their cl
31、ock by this apparent (41) _ time, even though some cities would often be on a slightly different time.

(49) _, in 1925, it was decided that summer time should begin on the day following the third Saturday in April and close after the first Saturday in October.The U.S. Congress
36、passed the Standard Time Act of 1918 to establish standard time and (50) _ and set Daylight Saving Time across the continent. This act also devised（制定） five time (51) _ throughout the United States: Eastern, Central, Mountain, Pacific, and Alaska. The first time zone was set on “the mean astronomica
37、l time of the seventy-fifth degree of longitude west from Greenwich” (England). In 1919, this act was abandoned.

38、to television and radio broadcasting and transportation. In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson created the Department of Transportation and signed the Uniform Time Act. As a result, the Department of Transportation was given the responsibility for the time laws. During the oil embargo（禁運(yùn)） and energy cri
39、sis of the 1970s, President Richard Nixon (54) _ DST through the Daylight Saving Time Energy Act of 1973 to conserve energy further.

43、ns or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AThe lives of the Ancient Greeks revolved（運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)） around Eris, a concept by which they defined the universe. They
44、believed that the world existed in a condition of opposites. If there was good, then there was evil；if there was love, then there was hatred; joy, then sorrow; war, then peace; and so on. The Greeks believed that good Eris occurred when one held a balanced outlook on life and coped with problems as
45、they arose. It was a kind of ease of living that came from trying to bring together the great opposing forces in nature. Bad Eris was evident in the violent conditions that ruled mens lives. Although these things were found in nature and sometimes could not be controlled, it was believed that bad Er
46、is occurred when one ignored a problem, letting it grow larger until it destroyed not only that person, but his family as well. The Ancient Greeks saw Eris as a goddess: Eris, the Goddess of Discord, better known as Trouble.One myth that expresses this concept of bad Eris deals with the marriage of
47、King Peleus and the river goddess Thetis. Zeus, the supreme ruler, learns that Thetis would bear a child strong enough to destroy its father. Not wanting to father his own ruin, Zeus convinces Thetis to marry a human, a mortal（凡人） whose child could never challenge the gods. He promises her, among ot
48、her things, the greatest wedding in all of Heaven and Earth and allows the couple to invite whomever they please. This is one of the first mixed marriages of Greek Mythology and the lesson learned from it still applies today. They do invite everyone . . . except Eris, the Goddess of Discord. In othe
49、r words, instead of facing the problems brought on by a mixed marriage, they turn their backs on them. They refused to deal directly with their problems and the result is tragic. In her fury（狂怒）, Eris arrives, ruins the wedding, causes a jealous argument between the three major goddesses over a gold
50、en apple, and sets in place the conditions that lead to the Trojan War. The war would take place 20 years in the future, but it would result in the death of the only child of the bride and groom, Achilles. Eris would destroy the parents hopes for their future, leaving the couple with no legal heirs
51、(繼承人) to the throne.Hence, when we are told, “If you dont invite trouble, trouble comes,” it means that if we dont deal with our problems, our problems will deal with us . . . with a revenge! It is easy to see why the Greeks considered many of their myths learning myths, for this one teaches us the
52、best way to defeat that which can destroy us. 56. Bad Eris is defined in the passage as _ A. the violent conditions of life. B. the problems man encounters. C. the evil goddess who has a golden apple. D. the murderer of generations.57. Zeus married Thetis off because _ A. he needed to buy the loyalt
53、y of a great king of mankind.B. he feared the gods would create bad Eris by competing over her. C. he feared the Trojan War would be fought over her. D. he feared being a father of a boy who would kill him in the future. 58. Zeus did not fear a child of King Peleus because _A. he knew that the child
54、 could not climb Mt. Olympus and manage to kill a god. B. he knew that the child would be killed in the Trojan War which would happen in 20 years. C. he knew that no matter how strong a mortal child was, he couldnt overthrow an immortal god.D. he knew that Thetis would always love him above everyone
55、 else.59. What does the myth in the passage want to tell us? A. Do not consider a mixed marriage. B. Do not anger the gods. C. Do not ignore the problems that arise in life. D. Do not take myths seriously.BThe National Storytelling Youth Olympics is an event where thousands of kids from grades 6 to
56、12 compete against each other by telling stories. It is sponsored by the Masters Degree Program in Reading and Storytelling at East Tennessee State University. The sole purpose of this event is to promote and encourage both the art and science of storytelling among middle school and high school stud

62、n is selected not only by the judges, but also by the contestants.
