I wanted to have a telescope, but now I want my dad back.” Lucien Lawrences letter to Father Christmas written after his father had been knifed to death outside his school gate, must have touched every heart. Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldnt see the stars in the sky. When those whom we love depart from us, we cannot see the stars for a while.But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one dya, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see then again. And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father is there too, in your mind and in your heart. I find that my parents, long dead now, still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive. I still live to please them and Im still surprised by their reactions. I remember that when I became a professor , I was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself, that I couldnt wait to cable my parents. The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all mother said was, “I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!” I havent forgotten. The values of my parents still live on.It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care. Would I have been as ready ad Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors, and to lay down my life for those in my care? How many people would want me back for Christmas? Its a serious thought, one to give me pause.I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword, and my darling from the power of the dog.” Yet I know the death comes to us all, and sometimes comes suddenly. We must therefore plan to live forever, but live as if we will die tomorrow. We live on, in the lives of those we loved, and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure. If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today.46.

When emotional Jamie Fox received his Best Actor Oscar for playing Ray Charles at the ceremony, he sang in respect to Charles and was greeted by a standing ovation(长时间起立鼓掌). Charles, who was blind, has certainly left a beautiful musical legacy, just like many other famous African American musicians.The contributions of African Americans to US musical history began with the arrival of the first Africans on its mainland in 1619. African slaves were often treated no better than animals. Taken from their homes and robbed of their freedom, they managed to maintain memories of the rich music and dance traditions of their ancestors.Music played a very important role in the West African way of life. Music was played during every activity. There were special kinds of music for festivals.The slaves developed their own versions of these practices.American music developed under a strong African influence. Black spirtuals(圣歌) are one of the best-known and earliest forms of American music. These religious songs eventually gave birth to the blues and jazz in the late 1800s. In the mid-1900s, musicians combined spirtuals,blues,and jazz styles to develop ROCK NROLL. In the late 1900s, a new American musical form called rap appeared. As people travelled and moved around, these forms of music were later brought to Europe and other parts of the world. Nowadays, almost all popular music contains elements(元素) of African American music.51.The passage is mainly wrriten to _.A. prove that African American music is the best in the world.B. introduce a famous African American musicianC. explain how African music influenced American musicD. persuade people to love American music52.Ray Charles was famous because_.A. he used to be an African slaveB. he was a blind musicianC. he made great contributions to American musicD. he managed to create various kinds of music53.According to the passage, ROCK N ROLL developed from_.A. rap,blues and jazz B.spirtuals,jazz and bluesC. blues and jazz D.rap and country music54.Which of the following statements about African slaves is Not true?A.
