Most of the people who appear most often and most gloriously in the history books are great conquerors and generals and soldiers, whereas the people who really helped civilization forward are often never mentioned at all. We do not know who first set a broken leg, or launched a seaworthy boat, or calculated the【31】of the year, or manured a field; but we know【32】about the killers and destroyers. People think a great deal of them, so【33】so that on all the highest pillars in the great cities of the world you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general or a soldier. And I think most people believe that the greatest countries are【34】that have beaten in battle the greatest number of other countries and ruled over them as conquerors. It is just possible they are,【35】they are not the most civilized. Animals fight; so do savages; hence to be good at fighting is to be good in the way in【36】an animal or a savage is good, but it is not to be civilized. Even being good at getting other people to fight for you and【37】them how to do it most efficiently — this, after all, is【38】conquerors and generals have done -- is not being civilized. People fight to settle quarrels. Fighting means killing, and civilized peoples ought to be able to find some way of settling their disputes other【39】by seeing which side can kill off the greater number of other side, and then【40】that that side which has killed most has won.(31)A.numberB.lengthC.depthD.width

根据下列内容,回答211-215题。
A house is the most expensive thing most people will ever buy.Very few people have enough money of their own to buy a house,so they have to borrow money from a bank.Borrowing moneyfrom a bank to buy a house is called“take a mortgage”.The bank usually lends money or gives a me.gage for twenty—five years.Houses are so expensive that many people nowadays have to borrow as much as$50,000.In other words,they will have a$50,000 mortgage.
How can you get a mortgage? When you find a house you like.you go to a bank.The bank will research you financial history and decide if they think you are a good risk.They will want to know what kind of job you have,what kind of salary you make and how long you have had the job.
They will a]so want to know how much money you have.In addition.the banks will require a down payment.Depending Oil which state you live in,the bank may require as much as 30%of the price of the house as a down payment.The bank will then lend you the rest of the money to buy the house.Many people are never able to buy a house because they can not save enough money for the
down payment.
What does a house mean in the United States.? __________A.It is a dream which many people can hardly realize
B.It is so expensive that many people can not really buy them
C.It is the most important property that many people try to buy
D.It doesn’t belong to people if they can not borrow morley from the bank

All but the tiniest of roads have to have names so they can be recognized on a map,and so people can ask?directions to them.Americans name a lot of bridges,too.
Very often these names carry a clear geographical reference the Pennsylvania Turnpike,for example.Or,like?the George Washington Bridge,roads and bridges are named for famous historical figures or powerful officers.
We make a big deal out of naming things,as when someone decided to name an airport after a U.S.judge.So?now we have the Baltimore Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport.

Now the governor(州长)of Virginia,Bob McDonnell,wants to sell naming rights to roads and bridges in the state.He says not just companies,but also wealthy people,would help the Virginia transportation budget(预算)by paying to have their names--or perhaps those of loved ones--placed on roads and bridges,and thus on maps as well.
People hold different views,however.Supporters say Americans are used to having things sponsored(赞助).
Others disagree,considering the idea as the next step in the"companies of America."They wonder how far such an?idea might spread,and where it would end:at the Burger King Pacific Ocean,perhaps.
