Back then, the Cherokee had no way to write down words in their ownlanguage.Sequoyah believed it was important for the Cherokee to have a systemof writing.So, in 1809, he set out to create an alphabet that the Cherokeecould use to do just that.
Sequoyah started by drawing pictures, with each one representing adifferent word or idea.He soon realized that writing sentences using pictureswould be much too difficult.There were too many words.No one would ever beable to remember that many pictures.
Sequoyah decided to try a different approach.He began to developsymbols to stand for the sounds, or syllables (音节), that made upwords.Twelve years later, he completed a system of writing with 86 differentsymbols.Each one stood for a different syllable in the Cherokee language.Thesymbols could easily be put together to form. words.Soon thousands of Cherokeewere able to read and write in their own language.
Sequoyah's work did not end there, however.He helped to establish aprint shop and began publishing a bilingual newspaper in both Cherokee andEnglish.The shop also printed books translated from English into Cherokee.Inlater years, Sequoyah also became a political leader among the Cherokee.

Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
①Many of today’s most trusted sales techniques were invented over a century ago by a young merchant named Eaton in Toronto.21 When he was young, Eaton worked briefly with his brothers in small-town stores. In 1869, he set up his own shop in downtown Toronto. He had many competitors, but he was also ambitious and had a plan for success. He offered a unique style. of trade, but as was expected, all the other shopkeepers laughed at him, believing he would eventually fail. However, Eaton was not a man to be easily defeated; he came up with(To bring forth or discover ) a brand new notion of business – “Goods satisfactory, or money refunded.(to give back)” He sold all his goods at fixed prices and only for cash.23
②With a sharp sense of what the public wanted, he went out of the way(To inconvenience oneself in doing something beyond what is required.不怕麻烦地:超出要求之外做某事而使自己麻烦) to meet their needs. His business grew rapidly. He set up new branches and started mail order service that allowed people to buy from a list of his goods.
③Eaton’s list—advertisements of his day—was the first of its kind. It was distributed and read all over the country. It was the only way to access good-quality goods at reasonable prices for people living far away from big cites.25 It became part of their life. They even called it The Wishing Book. The secret of the list’s success was that Eaton gained the respect of these customers22; they trusted him for good prices and quality goods. Probably because he remembered his miserable early days in Ireland, Eaton thought much of the welfare of his employees: better working conditions, shorter weekday(除了周日或者除了周六周日)hours than his competitors and Saturday afternoons off in the summer. In all this, he was a leader.
21. The best description of Eaton is that ______.
A. he was the richest merchant in Toronto
B. he was a successful technical inventor
C. he introduced new sales practices
D. he changed people’s ideas about businessmen
In terms of population density, London is one of the least crowded major cities in the world---four times fewer people per square kilometer than Paris, for example, six times fewer than New York and eight times fewer than Cairo. But the fact remains that the city’s population is growing at a rapid rate, and horizontal expansion into the surrounding areas is eating up increasingly important agricultural land, as well as worsening all the transport problems that come with urban growth.
Popular Architecture would propose a radically different solution. The proposal is to go upwards, with vertical towers of considerable size, each representing an entire new town, by the time it’s completed. Each tower would be 1500 meters high. Beyond mere accommodation, each tower would function as an entire town unit, with its own schools, hospitals, parks and gardens, sports faculties, business areas and community spaces. The population density of such a tower could help lower the individual energy requirements of each inhabitant, reducing the ecological impact of the population as a whole.
The village towers are considered as hollow tubes, with large holes to allow light and air though the entire construction. Occasional floor discs spread throughout the height of the building will give inhabitants large central areas in the middle of the tube to use as gathering spaces.
While the building itself is unlikely ever to be seriously considered for construction---imagine the number of elevators it would need, let alone the safety implications of open areas at such heights and with such wind exposure---the concept can serve as conversation-starter for urban planners looking to face the challenges of the current and coming countries.
One key challenging task for urban architects in the future is to ______.
A.build new satellite towns
B.work out ambitious plans
C.design less crowded cities
D.accommodate more inhabitants
Which of the following cities has the largest population density?
A.Cairo.

Horizontal expansion not only wastes land, but makes it hard for London to ______.
A.handle its safety problems
B.resolve its transport issues
C.control its population growth
D.measure its population density
The vertical tower would represent an entire new town in itself because______.
A.it is energy-saving
B.it is cost-effective
C.it is self-sufficient
D.it is comfort-oriented
For city planners today, the idea of building a vertical tower can become______.A.a topic for fun
B.a shocking reality
C.a modest proposal
D.a source of inspiration
