Passage Two
There were manydifferent cultures in the ancient world， but the two that had the most influence onEuropean and American civilizations were the Greek and the Roman. Often thesetwo cultures are lumped together in our minds，as if
they were really exactly alike. But that is not the case. Inmany ways the Greeks and the Romans could not have been more different.
The Greeks weretruly democratic，oftenwithout a single leader but instead governed by a group of men chosen by thepeople. The Romans were semi-democratic. They had a governing Senate， but the political power was mostly or completely in the hands of asingle emperor.

columns，and decorative forms. The Romans，on the other hand，were more engineers thanartists.
They concentrated their efforts on urban planning，well-functioningwater pipes， and the best roads.

Passage Three
As recently as threedecades ago，manyAmericans believed that using credit was an unwise and dangerous way to pay forwhat they bought. Some even thought that owing money to a store or a credit companywas something to be ashamed of. Good citizens， theybelieved，always bought what they wanted with real moneyand they paid the full price immediately.
Today，however，all that has changed. Credit，as someobservers have noted， has become a way of life in theUnited States. More and more Americans now are depending on those small piecesof plastic，credit cards， to payfor large
purchases such as televisions， record players or furniture. Many peopletoday would consider it unusual not to use a credit card to pay for a costlyrestaurant dinner， a hotel room or an airline trip.Andthere are some situations in which Americans must have credit cards. If theywant the temporary use of a car， for example，they first must give the car rental company the number of theircredit card.That number is considered a guarantee that they will return the carand pay for using it.
Credit cards offertwo major services to Americans. First of all， they are easier and saferto carry than large amounts of money. Second， theypermit people to borrow， to have the immediate pleasureof owning something， even if they do not have enoughmoney to pay for it at the time. With credit cards people pay for goods orservices at the end of each month instead of when they buy them. And when the timedoes come to pay， most credit cards offer people achoice. They can pay
all of what they owe for the month or they can just pay usuallybetween 5 and 10 percent of what they owe.
44. What do Americans feel about using credit cards nowadaysaccording to the passage？
A）They consider it valuable.
B）They regard it as a shame.
C）They think it dangerous.
D）They find it quite convenient.

At the 1893Columbian Exposition，a World Fair held in Chicago， chocolate-making machinery made in Germany was displayed. It caughtthe
eye of M.S. Hershey，who saw the potential for chocolate. Heinstalled chocolate machinery in his factory in Lancaster，and produced his first chocolate bars in 1894.

Passage Five
Mark Twain is one ofAmerica's much-beloved authors，creating imaginative and humorous classics forchildren and adults alike，such as The Adventures of TomSawyer，The Prince and The Pauper，and Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Twain
passed away in 1910，leaving behind a treasure of great literature.But now，100 years after his death，he'll have a brand-new book on the shelves:a three-
volume autobiography.
Twain hasn't beenkeeping busy in his tomb：it was his wish that publishers wait until 100years after his death to publish his memoirs（自传），whichhe spent the last decade of his life working on.
The autobiographytotals more than 5，000 pages，and likelywon't be all sunshine and roses.It seems that Twain harbored some bitternessagainst former girlfriends and ex-friends. He also writes negatively aboutpoliticians of his day，such as Teddy Roosevelt. It'slikely that he requested such a long lead time for the memoirs because hedidn't want to hurt the feelings of anyone
mentioned in this work.
Although smallsections of the memoirs have been previously published，theautobiography has never been available in full，andshould provide great insights into the man behind the classic books. The firstvolume of the set will be available in November，and thetrilogy is being published by the University of California，Berkeley.
"There are somany biographies of Twain，and many of them have used bits and pieces ofthe autobiography，" editor Robert Hirst told TheIndependent. "But biographers pick and choose what bits to quote. Bypublishing Twain's book in
full，we hope that people will be able to come totheir own complete conclusions about what sort of a man he was.
52. According to Paragraph 1，which of the following statements is TRUE ofMark Twain？
A）He left behind lots of money.
B）His works were written for children.
C）His works are full of adventures.
