When I was twelve years old, my family were the first black people to move into an all white part of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Many of our new neighbors weren’t very welcoming. Some of them said angrily that we should return to where we came from. The children sometimes threw stones at me .
Most of my teachers simply took no notice of me, but not Dorothy Bean, my history teacher. Miss Bean was angry at how badly I was being treated, but she didn’t say this to me. Miss Bean showed her respect for me by teaching me just like anyone else. Instead of being unnoticed, I was given a chance to show that I was clever. Miss Bean was the first teacher who ever made me think for myself. She always wanted to know what I thought about different questions. She expected me to have my own idea. Miss Bean was teaching me that thinking for oneself was the real key to education.
One day, when I was not paying attention in class, Miss Bean suddenly threw an eraser(黑板擦) at me. The eraser hit me right on the hand and sent my pencil flying. The whole class were very surprised at first, then started laughing. This event became famous in the school and, because it happened to me, the students wanted to get to know me. So that’s the story of how Dorothy Bean made me her target(靶子). However, what I want to do is express my thanks to her.
56. The author and his family were not welcomed by the local people because ____________.
A. they returned from another country     B. they have different skin color
C. they spoke a different language         D. they moved to a wrong place
57. From the end of the first paragraph we know that _____________.
A. children were more friendly to strangers
B. American schools were not safe for kids
C. children often follow their parents’ behavior
D. fighting each other is part of children’s nature
58. Miss Bean respected the author by ____________.
A. giving him special attention.

C. giving him extra lessons.
D. treating him as one of her students.
59. To Miss Bean the most important thing for a student is to _________.

Mum keeps telling me “Turn the radio down!” or “Can’t you listen to anything else” or “I don’t know how you can  36  with all noises.” Even my friends at school don’t appreciate the  37  I love, and my best friend told me I am a ‘radio junkie.’
I thought about the music that  38  me each day. It represented a wide range of music  39  ——I certainly wasn’t narrow—minded. I don’t only listen to hard roc, but also to music from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, and it isn’t really that  40  . Perhaps my mum and dad aren’t as square as I thought they were, if that’s the sort of music they  41  .
While music is the most important  42  I listen to my radio, it’s not the only one. my favorite station has many  43  presenters, from the wake—up show to the latest night ‘stop—outs’, and with all sorts of up —beat variations in between. My ‘must—listen—to’  44  is the top 40 countdown where I get to   45  all the latest and very best music selections.
Do I learn anything form the  46  I listen to? Of course I do! If you listen   47  to the lyrics of most songs, they have something to  48  about every aspect of life. People who are sad, mad, glad or bad, all  49  their feelings in the songs they sing or in the music they play. You see, I’m learning  50  other people cope with these feelings, and in some small way, it’s helping me too.
Competitions, talk—back programs and the dreaded ‘a(chǎn)ds’, are all  51  of radio, but it’s the music that attracts me most. I’ve   52  learned to do all sorts of things while listening to the music on the radio. I can do my homework, play sport, have a shower, get dressed,   53  while listening to the radio!
I’d rather not be  54  radio junkie, but if that’s the word that describes my radio listening  55  most exactly, then I guess I’ll have to live with it. my music suits me and I suit my music.

Earthquakes may rightly be ranked as one of the most destructive forces known to man: since records began to be written down, it has been estimated that earthquake-related fatalities (死亡) have numbered in the millions, and that earthquake-related destruction has been beyond calculation. The greater part of such damage and loss of life had been due to collapse of buildings and the effects of rockslides, floods, fire, disease, tsunamis, and other observable events resulting from earthquakes, rather than from quakes themselves.
The great majority of all earthquakes occur in two specific geographic areas. One such area covers the Pacific Ocean and its bordering landmasses. The other extends from the East Indians to the Atlas Mountains, including the Himalayas, Iran, Turkey and the Alpine regions. It is in these two great belts or zones that ninety percent of all earthquakes take place; they may, however, happen anywhere at any time.
This element of unknown has for centuries added greatly to the dead and horror surrounding earthquakes, but in recent times there have been indications that earthquake forecast may be possible. By analyzing changes in animal behavior, patterns of movements in the earth's shell, variations in the earth's force of attraction, and the frequency with which minor earth shakes are observed, scientists have shown increasing success in expecting when and where earthquakes will strike. As a result, a worldwide earthquake warning network is already in operation and has helped to prepare for (and thus lessen) the vast destruction that might otherwise have been totally unexpected.
It is doubtful that man will ever be able to control earthquakes and get rid of their destructiveness altogether, but as how and why earthquakes happen become better understood, man will become more and more able to deal with their possible damage before they occur.
60. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A. Earthquakes destruction is declining.
B. Man is capable of conquering earthquakes.
C. Man is no longer fearful of earthquakes.
D. Earthquake forecast is improving.
61. We can infer from the passage that quakes _______ .
A. mostly strike in oceans and mountains
B. may happen anywhere at any time
C. are unperceivable in masses of land
D. are hardly the direct cause of fatalities
62. The underlined phrase "This element of unknown" in Paragraph 3 refers to__.
A. the extension of earthquake zones
B. the percentage of earthquake occurrences
C. when and where earthquakes may occur
D. what big damage earthquakes may cause
63. Man's research on earthquake forecast at present is to _________ .
A. lower the frequency of earthquakes
B. release the energy that causes earthquakes
C. reduce the loss from earthquake disasters
D. analyze the relationship between different earthquakes

Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today, people did not have modern machines. There was no modern medicine, either.
Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and affects our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It affects every living thing in the world.
Cars, planes and factories all pollute our air every day. Sometimes the pollution is so thick that it is like a quilt(被子) over a city. This kind of quilt is called smog.
Many countries are making new laws to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away; they mustn’t blow dirty smoke into the air.
We need to do many other things. We can put waste things in the dustbin and not throw them on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the some car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be less pollution.
Laws are not enough. Every person must help to fight pollution.

“I ran to open it, it was Harold! He was an old Harold, a thinner Harold, too. He looked at me with his two green eyes and smiled. That smile was just the same as before, then he said one word “Speaking’”.
