英语国家概况（2）试题 第5 页（共 3 页） 1. the “Lost Generation” In the aftermath of World War I, many novelists produced a literature of disillusionment. Some lived abroad. They were known as the “Lost Generation”. The two most representative writers of the “Lost Generation” were Hemingway and Fitzgeral. 2. Sept. 11 terrorist attack On Sept. 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked four American passenger planes, two smashing into the World Trade Towers, on into the Pentagon, and the fourth one smashing into the fields in Pennsylvania as a result of the struggle by the passengers. 3000 innocent lives were lost in the terrorist attacks. The whole world was shocked, and Anti-terrorism became a priority on the agenda of the majority of the countries all over the world. 3. Industrial revolution in America After independence, America was principally an agricultural country. The Industrial Revolution in England brought many changes to American industry between 1776 and 1860. One key development was the introduction of the factory system. A second development was the “American system” of mass production. A third development was the application of new technologies to industrial tasks. A fourth development was the emergency of new forms of business organization---the bank and the corporation.17. the making of the US Constitution 4.“The Wizard of Menlo Park” “The Wizard of Menlo Park” refers to Thomas Alva Edison. Edison was the most famous of all American inventors. Among his many inventions are electric lamp, phonograph, motion pictures and parallel circuit. He had more than 1300 inventions. As he was so clever and talented and his workplaces were located in Menlo Park, New Jersey, he earned the found title “The Wizard of Menlo Park”. 5. service industries in Canada As is the case in other industrialized countries, more Canadians (over 70 percent) work in service industries than in manufacturing. The service sector of the Canadian economy includes things like banking, health care, construction, communications, education, tourism and government. Export of services is an important part of Canadian economy, though it is still not strong enough to complete with US firms. 6. the Grand Canyon National Park The Grand Canyon National Park is America’s most famous scenic wonder. It is a huge gorge slowly carved away for nearly 6 million years by the waters of the Colorado River. The canyon is so deep that there are 4 distinctive zones of climate from top to bottom. Located in Arizona, it attracts over 4 million visitors each year. The Park was established in 1908
