【正文】 that the Western Hemisphere was the New World not only for man but also for a host of animals and plants. Zoologists and botanists showed that numerous subjects of their respective kingdoms must have originated in Asia and spread to America. These findings were neither astonishing nor wholly unexpected. Such spread of populations is not to be envisioned as an exodus or mass migration, even in the case of animals. It is, rather, a spilling into new territory that acpanies increase in numbers, with movement in the direction of least population pressure and most favorable ecological conditions. But the immense traffic in plant and animal’s forms placed a heavy burden on the Bering Strait land bridge as the anthropologists ahead envisioned it. Whereas purposeful men could make their way across a narrow bridge, the slow diffusion of plant and animals would require an avenue as a continent and available for ages at a stretch. movement of plants and animals form Asia to America indicates ______. they could not have traveled across the Bering Strait Asia and the Western hemisphere were connected by a large land mass the Bering Sea was an isthmus at one time migration was in the one direction only 中國最大的資 料庫下載 中國最大的資料庫下載 author is refuting the notion that _____. arose in America independently of life in Europe first settlers in America came during the sixteenth century large continent once existed which has disappeared was a host to animals and plants using the words ―boxed the pass ―(in Line 7) the author implies that _____. migration of mankind was from West to East migration of mankind was from East to West traveled in all directions walked from Asia to America reason for the migration not mentioned by the author is _____. environmental conditions existence of a land bridge may assume that in the paragraph that follows this passage the author argues about______. contributions of anthropologist contributions of zoologists and botanists contributions made by the American Indians existence of a large land mass between Asia and North America 第 35篇答案： BCCCD 第 36篇 (Unit 9, Passage 4) There was on shop in the town of Mufulira, which was notorious for its color bar. It was a drugstore. While Europeans were served at the counter, a long line of Africans queued at the window and often not only were kept waiting but, when their turn came to be served, were rudely treated by the shop assistants. One day I was determined to make a public protest against this kind of thing, and many of the schoolboys in my class followed me to the store and waited outside to see what would happen when I went in. I simply went into the shop and asked the manager politely for some medicine. As soon as he saw me standing in the place where only European customers were allowed to stand he shouted at me in a bastard language that is only used by an employed when speaking to his servants. I stood at the counter and politely requested in English that I should be served. The manager became exasperated and said to me in English, ―If you stand there till Christmas I will never serve you.‖ 中國最大的資 料庫下載 中國最大的資料庫下載 I went to the District missioner’s office.

Every weekday morning since then, she has left her home to meet nine other old people in a church for a rich program of charity work, trips, games, and—most important of all—friendly panionship. Just a few years ago, there were few choices for the elderly between a normal life in their own homes and being totally confined in nursing homes. Many of them were sent to rest homes long before they needed fulltime care. Others like Mrs. Jones, were left to take care of themselves. But in 1971, the White House Conference on Aging called for the development of alternatives to care in nursing homes for old people, and since then, governmentsupported daycare programs like The Brighter Side have been developed in most big American cities. ―This represents a real alternative to the feared institution and makes old people believe they have not left the world of living,‖ says Alice Brophy, 64, director of New York City’s Office for the Aging. ―They do well at the centers, and I hate it when people describe us as elderly playpens.‖ New York’s 138 centers encourage continuing contact for the aged with the munity’s life. The centers serve more than 15,000 members, and volunteer workers are always looking for new ones. If someone doesn’t show up at the center for several days in a row, a worker at the center calls to make sure all is well. And although participation in the center is free, those who want to can pay for their lunches. No normal studies have been made of these centers for the elderly, but government officials are enthusiastic. In the future, the Public Health Service will do a study to decide if the programs can receive federal Medicare money. And the old people themselves are very happy with the programs. ―There is no way,‖ says Evelyn Jones, smiling at her new panions at the Brighter Side, ―that I will ever go back to spending my day with all those loses at the hotel.‖ is the main idea of the article? care centers may be able to receive federal Medicare money. care centers can
