Dorothea Dix left home at an early age—of her own free will—to live with her grandmother. At fourteen, Dorothea was teaching school at Worcester, Massachusetts. A short time after she had begun teaching, she set up a school for young girls in her grandparents’ home. Stress was placed on moral character at Dorothea’s school, which she conducted until she was thirty-three.

She was forced to give up teaching at her grandparents’ home, however, when she became ill a few years of inactivity followed.

In 1841 Dorothea began to teach again, accepting a Sunday school class in the East Cambridge, Massachusetts prison. Here she first came upon insane people (精神病人) locked up together with prisoners.

In those days insane people were treated even worse than prisoners. There were only a few madhouses in the entire country. Therefore prisons, poor houses, and houses of correction were used to keep the insane.

Dorothea Dix made a careful investigation of the inhuman treatment of the insane. It was

considered unfeminine (不适合) for a woman to devote herself to such work at this time. But this did not stop Dorothea Dix from providing proper medical care for the insane.

Gradually, because of her investigations, conditions were improved. More than thirty mental institutions were founded or rebuilt in the United States because of her hard work. Dorothea also spread her investigations to England and to other parts of Europe.

During the Civil War, Dorothea served as superintendent (负责) of women hospital nurses in the Union army. When the war was over, she returned to her work of improving conditions for insane people.

66. Which of the following is right?

A. The passage mainly tells us about social problems of the nineteenth century B. The passage mainly tells us how Dorothea Dix got her education

C. The passage mainly tells us how Dorothea Dix devoted herself to education

D. The passage mainly tells us how Dorothea Dix devoted herself to the work of improving

conditions for insane people

67. How did Dorothea Dix first realize the mistreatment of insane people? A. Her grandmother treated the mistreatment of insane people. B. She taught Sunday school in a prison.

C. She worked in an insane hospital as a young woman. D. She was asked to investigate the problem.

68. What interrupted Dorothea Dix’s work with the insane ?

A. an illness B. the Civil War C. her trip to England D. her grandmother’s death 69. How are the events of Dorothea Dix’s life presented in the passage? A. In space order. B. In time order.

C. In alphabetical (字母的) order. D. From greatest to least important. 70 What can we inferred from the passage?

A. Dorothea Dix is a doctor B. Dorothea Dix is a writer C. Dorothea Dix is a solider D. Dorothea Dix is a teacher.

An Earthship is a home that is built of materials such as old tires and aluminum cans. It is the idea of a man named Michael Reynolds. Many Earthships are more or less self-sufficient because

they provide their own heat, air and water. They often have gardens watered and fed by waste water. They are comfortable and ecologically friendly.

The main material used in building Earthships is tires. Tires are plentiful and

can't be recycled like paper, plastic, and metal. While building supplies for most houses can be very expensive, old used tires are free.

First, the tires are packed tightly with dirt. Each full tire weighs as much as 400 pounds. The tires are then stacked like bricks. The walls are extremely strong. They also help keep an even temperature in the house (between 60 and 70 degrees) without heating and cooling systems.?

The walls inside the Earthship are made of aluminum cans that are held together by cement. Then they are coated with adobe or stucco.?

The roofs of Earthships are sloped so that rain and snow run into large tanks. These tanks hold all the water for the house, and pumps push the water through the pipes. Sometimes, water flows in certain areas of the house as waterfalls! Water that has been used is pumped out into the gardens where owners grow much of their own food.?

In most of these houses, the southern side has huge windows that take in winter sunlight as a source of heat. Summer sun does not come in through the south windows, so it doesn't get too hot in the summer. The house also has solar panels that gather energy for lights and hot water and cooking. The Earthships have all the comforts of a regular house without the high cost of electric bills!?21世纪教育网

In a time when we are running out of energy resources, pollution is bad, and waste is piling up, Earthships are the best places to live in. For people who truly care about the environment,Earthships provide a great alternative to traditional houses. You won't be giving up any comforts, and the styles are attractive. We all hope that more and more people will build Earthships and take a huge step toward helping the environment and saving our planet.?

1.From the passage ,we conclude that________.?

A. Earthships are a good way to live and protect the environment.? B. Tanks hold water collected from rain and snow.?

C. It's important to grow your own food in a vegetable garden.? D. People who live in Earthships usually live in the desert.? 2.The passage explains something except______.?

A. How an Earthship is built.?

B. What an Earthship is mainly made of.? C. Why the Earthship is so called.? D. How an Earthship is heated in winter.?

3.Which evidence best supports the idea that Earthships are environmentally friendly?? A. They were invented by Michael Reynolds.?

B. Water that has been used is pumped out into the garden.? C. They are comfortable and ecologically friendly.? D. The tires are packed tightly with dirt.?

4. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.? A. a large population are already living in Earthships?

B. the idea of Earthships will attract the attention of governments? C. the materials for the Earthships will be harmful to the dwellers(居住者)? D.the northern side of the Earthship has no window? 75. According to the passage, we believe that______. A. In the future, more and more Earthships will be built. B. More and more people won’t like it.
