Started in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of the many colleges and universities in the United States, Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard. They were all started before the American Revolution made the thirteen colonies(殖民地) into states.
In the early years, these schools were much the same. Only young men attended colleges. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about the science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated(left school), most of them became ministers or teachers.
In 1682, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later lawyers could receive their training in Harvard’s law school. In 1825, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German, as well as Latin and Greek. Soon it began teaching American history.
Special colleges for women were started. New state universities, began to teach such subjects as farming, engineering and business. Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities.

Milk was one of the main foods of people long before history was written. It will probably keep on being one as long as there are animals that give milk.
Even the word “milk” is very old. It comes from Sanskrit(梵文),one of the oldest languages known to man. A very old picture of milking has been found. It was drawn more than five thousand years ago.
In the years long ago, people got their milk from their own animals. But later new inventions made the milk industry a big business. In 1851 Gail Borden found a way to take some of the water out of milk. This made it keep much longer. Four years later, Louis Pasteur introduced a way to kill the bacteria (细菌) in milk. Next, a special milk bottle was made. This was followed by the invention of machines that could fill bottles with milk.
These discoveries had a great effect on the milk industry. They meant that milk could be stored longer.
Some people believe that milk drinking will become less popular than it has been. But remember how long milk has been an important food and think of many ways in which it is useful. It seems safe to say that milk industry will always be important.
79. Milk is probably(most possibly) to be a food of ours .
A. when there are animals that can give milk
B. where there are animals that can give milk
C. if there are animals and people in the world

A. a hundred years ago. B. fifty years ago
C. one hundred and forty years ago
D. before a number of inventions were made
82. Milk industry will be always an important one because .
A. milk drinking is very popular in the world
|
C. milk is a food of good taste and there are many cows
D. milk can be stored (kept) longer and carried to other countries

Sometimes a book can help change history. One book that certainly did was Uncle Tom’s Cabin, written by Harriet Beecher Stowe. It was a book that spoke out against slavery.
At the time Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote her book, there were over 3·5 million slaves in the United States. Slaves were usually in the cotton growing states of the South. The Northern States had ended the slavery. Yet, most Northerners were not strongly against slavery. They didn’t mind that slavery continued in the south.
Stowe decided to make people understand that slavery was very bad. Each night after putting her six children to bed, she worked on her book. She told the story of an old slave, Tome and Simon Legree, a slave owner. She also told how the slaves tried to run away for freedom. Uncle Tom’s Cabin first came out in 1852. Over 300,000 books were sold out in a year.
People had different ideas about the book. In the North, many people finally believed that slavery must be ended after they read the book. In the South, many people were very angry at the people in the North. By 1861 the two parts of the country were at war. The Civil War which lasted until 1865, finally brought an end to slavery.
Of course, there were many things that made the Civil War happen. Yet, Uncle Tom’s Cabin surely played a part. Stowe met President Lincoln in 1862. As Lincoln took her hand, he said, “So you are the little woman who started the big war.”
83. From the text, we can see that .
A. Stowe was a young woman
B. Stowe’s husband was dead when she wrote the story
C. Stowe wrote her book with stories from her six children
D. Stowe could not work on her book during the day-time
84. Uncle Tom’s Cabin was .
A. a book about Harriet Beeche Stowe
B. a history book

D. a book about the American Civil War
85. Harriet Beecher Stowe .
A. was a little woman who started the American Civil War
B. was against slavery
C. helped some slaves to run away from the south
D. met Abraham Lincoln before the Civil War
