  33.Apparently Webster published his first books while he was a

  34.This article could be entitled ____.

  A) Noah Webster and American English Spelling

  B) Noah Webster, the author of An American Dictionary of the English Language

  C) Noah Webster

  D) Noah Webster and American English Grammar

  35.According to the article, Webster ____.

  A) had created American English and its usages

  B) had discovered American English and improved it

  C) had tried his best and left a milestone on the language of his country

  D) had left a language which was not used in England.

  Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:

  Once upon a time, the United States seemed to have plenty of land to go around. Plenty of rivers to dam and plenty of rural valleys left over. Plenty of space for parks and factories. Plenty of forests to cut and grasslands to plow. But that was once upon a time. The days of unused land are over.Now the land has been spoken for, fenced off, carved up into cities and farms and industrial parks, put to use.

  At the same time, the population keeps growing. People need places to work and places to play. So we need more sites for more industries, more beaches for more sunbathers, and more clean rivers for more fishers. And it isn't just a matter of population growth. Our modern technology has needs that must be met, too. We need more coal for energy, and we need more power plants; cars must have highways and parking lots, and jets must have airports.

  Each of these land uses swallows up precious space.Highways and expressways alone take some 200,000 acres each year. And urban sprawl — the spreading out of cities — is expected to gobble up vast areas of land by the year 2,000. But there is only so much land to go around. It is always hard to decide. Take, for example, a forest. A forest can be a timber supply. It can provide a home for wildlife.

  It is scenery and a recreation area for man. It is soil and watershed protection.

  36.“…the United States seemed to have plenty of land to go around ”

  means that ____.

  A) the United States seemed to have vast land for its people to walk around

  B) the United States seemed to have enough land for sharing with everyone

  C) the United States could provide whatever its inhabitents' needs

  D) the United States was not able to allow its people to do what they wanted to

  37.The sentence of “Plenty of rivers to dam and plenty of rural valleys left over” suggests that ____.

  A) the United States had a lot of rivers to dam and many rural valleys,too

  B) the rivers could be damed later

  C) rural valleys would be considered in the future

  D) people needn't think of the rivers and valleys

  38.“Now the land has been spoken for, …” tells us that ____.

  A) today, land has shown its values

  B) now, people have said something about land

  C) nowadays, land has been claimed by human beings

  D) recently, people spoke for the land
