    Schools and Education

    1. Life in the twenty-first century demands preparation.Today,all individuals in a country must have adequate schooling to prepare them for their work as well as for their responsibilities as citizens.With this in mind,national leaders everywhere are placing more emphasis on the education of the young.In the United States,government officials,parents,and teachers are working hard to give their children一tomorrow's decision makers一the best preparation available.
    2. There is no national school policy in the United States.Each of the fifty states makes its own rules and regulations for its school,but there are many similarities among the fifty school systems.Public schools in all states are supported by taxes paid by the citizens of the individual state. In most states the children are required to attend school until they reach the age of sixteen.
    3. When they become six years old,children begin elementary school.After six years in elementary school,they go into junior high school and remain there for three years.The last three years of their public school education are spent in senior high school,from which they graduate at the age of eighteen.
    4. A great number of high school graduates continue their education in one of the many colleges or universities in the country.After four years,they receive a bachelor's degree.Some continue studying for a master's degree and perhaps a doctor's degree.

    In most states children,before they are 16,must________.
    A:go on to study in colleges or universities
    B:emphasized today
    C:the taxes paid by the citizens of each state
    D:to go abroad to do further study
    E:attend school
    F: private source

    答案：E
    解析：
    第一段中间“national leaders everywhere are placing more emphasis on the education of the young”，各个国家领导人都注意对年轻人的教育，它是该段的中心句，所以选Co
    本段最后一句“In most states the children are required to attend school untilthey reach the age of sixteen”，所以选D。
    本段提到一个孩子从6岁开始到18岁接受的所有教育，即从小学教育到中学教育，因此B正确。
    本段第一句说到“...high school graduates continue their education in one ofthe many colleges or universities...”所以是关于高等教育。
    “emphasized”和“place emphasis on something”意思相同，即各国强调教育的重要性，所有选B。
    第二段的最后一句，在大多数州，孩子在16岁前必须接受教育，因此选E。
    “financed by”意思是得到资金支持，即“Public schools in all states are supported by taxes paid by the citizens of the individual state”，选项C符合句子的意思。
    “secondary education”是中学教育，在学生完成中学教育后，他们可以决定是否要继续接受高等教育，因此A符合题意。

    Practice 4　　The other kind of bank—the Bank of the United States was simultaneously a commercial bank and a quasi-public central bank. The First Bank of the United States, chartered by the Congress in 1791, owed its existence to Alexander Hamilton who, shortly after becoming Secretary of the Treasury, showed remarkable insight into the financial problems of the young country and the economic implications of banking. The First Bank of the United States operated much like a private bank. But unlike a regular commercial bank, it had the federal government as a partner and number one customer. The Bank served as the fiscal agent for the government, holding government tax receipts, paying government bills, performing various financial housekeeping tasks. In return, the government kept its cash as deposits with the First Bank of the United States, giving it a huge financial base. The First Bank’s federal charter, moreover, allowed it to operate branches in all states, giving it a big competitive edge over regular state-chartered banks, which could operate only in the states that chartered them. Gradually the First Bank of the United States evolved into a sort of banker’s bank, gaining the power to police lesser commercial banks.

    另外一种银行为美利坚银行,它既是商业银行又是准公共性质的中央银行。1791年,美利坚第一银行经国会特许成立,它的成立应归功于亚历山大·汉密尔顿。他就任财政部长后不久就对新生的美国面临的财政问题以及银行业的经济意义显示出极强的洞察力。美利坚第一银行在运作上很像是一家私人银行。与通常的商业银行不同的是,它拥有联邦政府为其合伙人和头号客户。它充当了联邦政府的财政代理:为政府保管税收收入、替政府办理账单支付以及为政府执行各种金融保管任务等。作为回报,政府将现金存入美利坚第一银行,从而使该银行有了巨大的金融基础。由于美利坚第一银行经联邦特许可在各州设立分行,而由各州特许成立的普通银行只能在其州内经营,所以相比之下,美利坚第一银行有很大的竞争优势。美利坚第一银行因而逐渐演化为某种“银行家的银行”,把握着监督较小的商业银行的权力。

    Practice 10　　What we today call American folk art was, art of, by, and for ordinary, everyday I “folks” who, with increasing prosperity and leisure, created a market for art of all kinds, and especially for portraits. Citizens of prosperous, essentially middle-class republics—whether ancient Romans，seventeenth-century Dutch burghers, or nineteenth-century Americans—have always shown a marked taste for portraiture. Starting in the late eighteenth century, the United States contained an increasing number of such people, and of the artists who could meet their demands.　　The earliest American folk art portraits come, not surprisingly, from New England—especially Connecticut and Massachusetts—for this was a wealthy and populous region and the center of a strong craft tradition. Within a few decades after the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, the population was pushing westward, and the portrait painters could be found at work in western New York, Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois, and Missouri. Midway through its first century as a nation, the United States' population had increased roughly five times, and eleven new states had been added to original thirteen. During these years, the demand for portraits grew and grew, eventually to be satisfied by camera.

    我们所说的美国民间艺术是由普通百姓所拥有、创造并享受的艺术。随着财富和闲暇与日俱增,他们创造了各种艺术的市场,特别是肖像绘画。家境殷实的、主要是中产阶级的市民——不管他们是古罗马人,或是l7世纪荷兰自治城市富裕居民,抑或是l9世纪的美国人——都对肖像绘画艺术表现出突出的爱好。从18世纪晚期开始,美国这一群体的数量不断增加,而且满足画像要求的艺术家也不断地增加。
    勿需惊奇,美国最早的民间艺术画像来自于新英格兰地区——特别是康涅狄格州和麻萨诸塞州——因为这一地区富裕,人口稠密,而且是浓厚艺术传统的中心。l776年《独立宣言》宣布后的几十年中,人口不断西徙,在纽约州西部、俄亥俄州、肯塔基州、伊利诺伊州、密苏里州,人们随处可见肖像画师绘画的身影。美国独立后50年间,人口增加了近五倍,原先l3个州又增加了11个。在这些岁月里,肖像绘画的需求不断增长,直到有了照相机才算得到满足。

    Practice 3　　The United States is a federal union of 50 states. The District of Columbia is the seat of the national government. The Constitution outlines the structure of the national government and specifies its powers and activities. Other governmental activities are the responsibilities of the individual states, which have their own constitutions and laws. Within each state are counties, townships, cities and villages, each of which has its own elective government.　　All government in the United States is “of, by and for the people”. Members of Congress, the President, state officials, and those who govern counties and cities are elected by popular vote. Heads of federal departments are named by the President, and judges are either elected directly by the people or are appointed by elected officials. Voting ballots are unsigned and marked by the voters in private booths so that no one else can find out for whom a citizen is voting. Public officials may be removed from office for failing to perform their duties properly as well as for serious violations of law.

In theUnited States, like in ancient Athens, any qualified citizen can　　　　　　　　 7．______become a public official. The government of this country alsoprotects private property, encourages private business enterprise.and supports public education.　　The major difference between these two forms ofdemocracy is the definition of citizen. In ancient Athens acitizen was a free man, not a woman and a slave.

Slavery is legal in this country.　　　　　　　　　　  10．______　　Therefore, American democracy is more broadly representative.In brief, democracy is an old and varied concept. In thePast it meant different things to many different people.

    正确答案：
    1.conception改为concept conception表示“构思;想出的意念或计划”,而concept表示相对于实体的“概念”,该句意为“民主不是一个新的概念”。
    2.furthermore改为nevertheless或however     上一句说的是古代雅典的民主和美国的民主在许多方面是相同的,而这一句讲的是它们之间存在着几处重要的不同,相对于前面的内容,属于转折关系,而非递进关系,故应该将furthermore改为nevertheless。
    3.for改为on 就某事进行投票应该用“vote on sth.”,投票支持某人才用“vote for sb.”。
    4.public前加a 作“官员”讲时是可数名词,故单数时应添加不定冠词。
    5.encouraging改为encouraged
    这里encouraged和前面protected以及后面的supported属于并列结构,所以要一致。
    6.√
    7.lik改为as     like表“像……一样”时后一般接名词性成分,而as可以接介词短语。
    8.and改为or或and和a之间加not     这里要表达的“既不是一个妇女,也不是一个奴隶”为否定成分并列,所以有这两种改法。
    9.largest前加the     形容词最高级前应加定冠词the。
    10.legal改为illegal     根据上下文,这里应用反义词表示“非法的”。
