单选题Thurgood Marshall is one of the most well-known individuals in the history of the civil rights movement in America. He was born on July 2, 1908 in Baltimore, Maryland, to a dining room steward and a school teacher. He was not born to wealthy parents. His education began in the public schools in Baltimore and he attended college at Lincoln University. After graduation from college, he entered Howard University Law School and graduated with honors at the age of twenty-five. Marshall began his law career in Baltimore and represented the poor and the weak in legal matters. The NAACP became aware of his legal abilities and asked him to join their staff. Marshall won thirty-two of the thirty-five cases he argued before the Supreme Court during the time he worked with the NAACP. In 1961, he became a member of the United States Second Court of Appeals. Four years later, he was appointed Solicitor General and was the first black to hold this position in the history of United States. Finally, he was appointed to the Supreme Court of the United States in 1967 and was the first black to be appointed to the highest court in the United States. Marshall served in this position until his retirement in 1991. He died at the age of 84. Thurgood Marshall will be remembered for his involvement in the civil rights movement and for paving the way for much of the progress in civil rights. His dedication to the understanding and defense of the United States Constitution has touched all of our lives in so many ways.

单选题When I was a little boy, I often dreamed of leaving home and escaping to a big city. We lived on a farm, and we always felt that we were quite cut off from the outside world, especially in the winter. As soon as I graduated from school, I packed my bags and moved to Shanghai-known as a sophisticated metropolis. However, I soon found that life in the city had its own problems too. There are several disadvantages in the city, First and foremost, it usually costs too much, especially with the soaring price like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. As I suffered from asthma (哮喘) when I was young, I am afraid of awful weather or polluted air, which makes it impossible for me to go outing. Travelling is also one of the problems. Although I have a car, I seldom used it because of the bumper-to-bumper traffic. As is known to all, every coin has two sides. It holds true for city life. First, we can do a lot of interesting things here. You can enjoy all kinds of creativity or entertainment. Besides, people in the city are more easily provided with good jobs and have more opportunities to get advanced. Finally, if you like shopping, there are a variety of goods for you to choose from, What's more, shops can be seen everywhere and are often within walking distance. Is life better in the city than that of countryside or rural areas? Perhaps it is, when you are young. However, as you gradually get older, and especially when you have children, the tranquility of the countryside may seem more attractive to you. I really hope I can move back where I grew up soon.

单选题You"re standing in the kitchen and a voice says, "Add a little more salt to that soup." Yes, it"s always nice to have someone help you when you"re cooking. But this voice is not from a man. You are alone! Then where does it come from? Is it from a ghost? No, this is not a ghost kitchen—it"s the kitchen of the future. Scientists are working to improve everything in the kitchen, from fridges to tables, and even the way we cook. They are making a system. It will help a person cook a meal. You don not need cookbooks. You can hear how to cook food. The fridge of the smart kitchen has a scanner. It looks at the foods in the fridge. It will order more milk from the store when your milk has gone bad or there is no more in the fridge. The gloves will test the temperature of everything they touch and say, "Need to cook longer" or "Hot and ready to eat". If you leave them on the stove by mistake, you"ll hear they say, "Fire!" Even the knives and spoons will speak. For example, if your food is bad, the knives and spoons will tell you not to eat it. The future may look wonderful, but it"s not cheap. The multimedia fridge costs about 8,000 dollars. So even though high-tech kitchens are no longer a dream, not everyone can afford it.

单选题 People often show their feelings by the body positions they adopt. These can contradict (同…矛盾) what you are saying, especially when you are trying to disguise the way you feel. For example, a very common defensive position, assumed when people feel threatened in some way, is to put your arm or arms across your body. This is a way of shielding yourself from a threatening situation. This shielding action can be disguised as adjusting one's coif (束发帽) or watch strap. Leaning back in your chair especially with your arms folded is not only defensive, it's also a way of showing your disapproval, of a need to distance yourself from the rest of the company. A position which betrays (显示) an aggressive attitude is to avoid looking directly at the person you are speaking to. On the other hand, approval and desire to cooperate are shown by copying the position of the person you are speaking to. This shows that you agree or are willing to agree with someone. The position of one's feet also often shows the direction of people's thoughts. For example, feet or a foot pointing towards the door can indicate that a person wishes to leave the room. The direction in which your foot points can also show which of the people in the room you feel most sympathetic towards, even when you are not speaking directly to that person.

单选题Christmas Eve arrives at my house each year. The center of the celebration (庆祝) is dinner. My mother spends days preparing a rich variety of seafood. The guest list seldom changes. It is made up of my Aunt Marcy and her husband, my oldest brother, Sal, his wife, and their four children, my sister, Joann, her husband, and their two children, and my second brother, Richard, his wife, and their two children. My aunt and uncle always come heavily loaded with enough food and wine for a whole army. My brother Sal and gang usually show up an hour early and empty-handed. Joann"s family is usually late while Richard"s group generally arrives on time, bearing gifts for everyone. I am in charge of getting the Christmas tree. Plenty of food is served at the dinner table, and all the hours of preparation are wolfed down in a matter of minutes. Along with the yearly repeated menu comes the yearly repeated conversation. Everyone talks about how good the food tastes. My mother then talks about all the supermarkets from which the fish was bought. This begins our period of comparison shopping. For at least thirty minutes, we show how better we are than each other at mentioning the bargains we have found. Personally, I do not feel the need to be with a crowd on Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve, to me, is a quiet time, a time to think deeply. The over-crowdedness and noise ruin my feelings about Christmas.
