The Erie Canal was the first important national waterway built in the US. It crossed New York from Buffalo on Lake Erie Troy to Albany on the Hudson River. It joined the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean. The canal served as a route over which industrial goods could flow into the west, and materials could pour into the east. The Erie Canal helped New York develop into the nation's largest city.
The building of the canal was paid for entirely by the state of New York. It cost $ 7,143,789, but it soon gained its price many times over. Between 1825, when the canal was opened, and 1882, when toll charges were stopped, the state collected $ 121,461,891.
For a hundred years before the Erie was built, people had been talking about a canal which could join the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean. The man who planned the Erie Canal and carried the plan through was De Witt Clinton. Those who were against the canal laughingly called it “Clinton's Ditch”. Clinton talked and wrote about the canal and drew up plans for it. He and Governor Morris went to Washington in 1812 to ask for help for the canal, but they were unsuccessful.
Clinton became governor of New York in 1817, and shortly afterwards, on July 4,1817, broke ground for the canal in Rome, N. Y. The first part of the canal was 40 feet wide and 4 feet deep. Between 1836 and 1862, the Erie Canal was enlarged to a depth of 7 feet. In 1903, a third canal was begun, known as the Barge Canal. Completed in 1918, it used a new route in many places. It is 12 to 14 feet deep, 120 to 200 feet wide, and 363 miles long, from Albany to Buffalo. The Erie Canal today is used largely by recreational boats.

閱讀下面短文,從短文后各題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “I’m so sorry!” was my reply. Then he said. “Excuse me too——I wasn’t 36 watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went 37 our way after saying goodbye.
But at 38 , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I 39 our meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I 40 knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown(皺眉頭). She stepped away silently, with her little heart 41 . I didn’t realize how harshly I had spoken.
That night, when I lay 42 in bed, God’s quiet voice spoke to me, “While 43 with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are QUICK to excite—Go look around on the kitchen floor, you will find some flowers there by the 44 . Those are the flowers she brought for you. She 45 them herself—pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly, and you never saw the 46 in her eyes.”
By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall. I quietly went and knelt by her 47 , “Wake up, my dear,” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree. I 48 them in a napkin, just for you. I knew you’d like them, especially the 49 .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today—and I 50 have fussed(發(fā)牢騷)at you that way.”
And she whispered, “Mommy, that’s Ok—I still love you 51 .”I hugged her and said, “I love you too, and I love the flowers.”
Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the 52 you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days. But the family you leave 53 will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our 54 than into our families—an unwise investment indeed.
Remember that 55 =(F)ATHER—(A)ND—(M)OTHER—(I)—(L)OVE—Y(OU).

What will you be doing when you are 26 years old? Studying at university or working for a living? Take a look at what Albert Einstein was doing at the age of 26.
100 years ago, Einstein was working in Switzerland. His hobby was physics. Without much money or help, he wrote five papers(論文) for a physics magazine. Three of these greatly changed the study of physics and our understanding of space, time, light and matter(物質(zhì)). His most famous work is on the Theory of Relativity(相對論). Einstein was given the Nobel Prize for his discoveries. Although he also did many other things later, the years 1905 has been called Einstein’s “Year of Wonders”. It has been 100 years since then. Because of this, the UN has named 05 the World Year of Physics.
Today, over fifty years after Einstein’s death, a question is asked, “ Will there ever be another Einstein?” It may take a long time. After all, Einstein was born more than 200 years after Sir Isaac Newton, another great scientist. Besides, physics is a different field now, and education is different, too. Even if you can’t be the next great scientist, it is still helpful to remember some of the things that made Einstein great. He thought independently(獨立地) and read widely. He left with us a formula(公式) for life: If A is a success in life, then A="X+Y+Z." X is work, Y is play, and Z is keeping your mouth shut.
1.The year 1905 is known as Einstein’s “Year of Wonders” because .
A.Einstein was working in Switzerland in 1905 |
B.Einstein was 26 years old in 1905 |
C.Einstein made some very important discoveries in 1905 |
D.Einstein studied physics in 1905 |
2.Why hasn’t there been another scientist as great as Einstein?
A.Because the study of physics is not enough. |
B.Because it is hard to make important discoveries as Einstein did. |
C.Because people don’t work hard any more. |
D.Because physics is getting more and more difficult. |
3.The UN has named 05 the World Year of Physics because .
A.Einstein is 100 years old this year |
B.Einstein has been dead for more than 50 years |
C.there have been other great discoveries after Einstein’s death |
D.it is the 100th year since Einstein’s “Year of Wonders” |
4. What does Einstein’s formula for life mean?
A.Success means years of hard work. |
B.Success means all study and no play. |
C.Success means working hard, relaxing and not talking too much. |
D.Success is a secret that nobody knows. |
