“The pen is more powerful than the sword(劍).” There have been many writers who used their pens to fight things that were wrong. Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them. She was born in the U.S.A. in 1811.One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freeing the enslaved race. The civil war was the American Civil War of 1861,in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won.

This book that shook the world was called Uncle Tom’s Cabin. There was a time when every English-speaking man, woman, and child has read this novel that did so much to stop slavery. Not many people read it today, but it is still very interesting. The book has shown us how a warm-hearted writer can arouse(喚起) people’s sympathies. The author herself had neither been to the Southern States nor been a slave. The Southern Americans were very angry at the book, which they said did not at all represent true state of affairs, but the Northern Americans were wildly excited over it and were so inspired by it that they were ready to go to war to set the slaves free. According to the passage______.

    A．every English-speaking person has read Uncle Tom's Cabin

    B．Uncle Tom's Cabin was not very interesting

    C．those who don't speak English cannot have read Uncle Tom's Cabin

    A．About sixty years old.    B．Over fifty years old.

    C．In her forties.           D．Around twenty years old.

What do you learn about Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe from the passage?         

A．She had been living in the north of America before the American Civil War 

broke out.

    B．She herself encouraged the Northern Americans to go to war to set the slaves free.

    C．She was better as writing as swinging(揮舞)a sword.

讀寫任務(wù)(共1小題；滿分25分)
閱讀下面的短文，然后按照要求寫一篇150詞左右的英語(yǔ)短文。
In the atmosphere, carbon dioxide acts rather like a one-way mirror —— the glass in the roof of a greenhouse which allows the sun’s rays to enter but prevents the heat from escaping.
According to a weather expert’s prediction, the atmosphere will be 3℃ warmer in the year 2050 than it is today, if man continues to burn fuels at the present rate. If this warming up took place, the ice caps in the poles would begin to melt, thus raising sea level several metres and severely flooding coastal cities. Also, the increase in atmospheric temperature would lead to great changes in the climate of the northern hemisphere, possibly resulting in an alteration of earth's chief food-growing zones.
In the past, concern about a man-made warming of the earth has concentrated on the Arctic because the Antarctic is much colder and has a much thicker ice sheet. But the weather experts are now paying more attention to West Antarctic, which may be affected by only a few degrees of warming, in other words, by a warming on the scale that will possibly take place in the next fifty years from the burning of fuels.
Satellite pictures show that large areas of Antarctic ice are already disappearing. The evidence available suggests that a warming has taken place. This fits the theory that carbon dioxide warms the earth.
However, most of the fuel is burnt in the northern hemisphere, where temperatures seem to be falling. Scientists conclude, therefore, that up to now natural influences on the weather have exceeded those caused by man. The question is: Which natural cause has most effect on the weather?

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2014屆江西省高一年級(jí)第一次段考英語(yǔ)題 題型：閱讀理解

America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect （影響） American society in many ways --- education, medicine, and business. Quietly, the graying of America has made us a very different society - one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior （行為）is suitable （合適） at different ages.

A person's age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There's no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn't as strong as it used to be. It doesn't surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public ideas are changing.

Many people say, ‘I am much younger than my mother -  or my father - was at my age.’ No one says ‘Act your age’ anymore. We've stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.

1.From the passage, we know in America____.

 A. they used to go to school or stop work at a certain age

 B. people won’t tell you their social position

 C. the children no longer go to school.

 D. people hold the old ideas about the age as before

2.It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America         .

A. has made people feel younger    B. has changed people's social position

C. has changed people's understanding of age

D. has slowed down the country's social development

3.The underlined word ‘one’ refers to          .

A. a society    B. America     C. a place D. population

4.‘Act your age’ means people should _______  .

A. be active when they are old    

B. do the right thing at the right age

C. show respect for their parents young or old

D. take more physical exercise suitable to their age

5. If a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer of the text would most probably consider it       .

A. normal   B. wonderful   C. unbelievable D. unreasonable
