It was very dark that night and it wasnt easy to see where we were going. Suddenly, a big steamboat came at us very fast, and the next minute it was right over us. Jim and I jumped off the raft (木筏) into the water. The boat hit the raft and went on up the river. When I came up out of the water, I couldnt see Jim anywhere. I called out his name again and again, but there was no answer. “Hes dead!” I thought. Slowly, I swam to the side of the river and got out. I saw that I was near a big old wooden house. Suddenly a lot of very angry dogs jumped out at me. They made a terrible noise and someone called from the house, “Whos there?”“George Jackson,” I answered quickly. “Ive fallen off a river boat.”Well, the people who lived in that house were very kind, and they took me in and gave me some new clothes and a good meal. I told them that my family were all dead, so they said I could stay with them as long as I wanted. It was a beautiful house and the food was good there, so I stayed. A few days later one of the slaves in the house came to me and said, “Come with me!” Together, we went down to some trees by the river. “In there!” he said and went away.On the ground, I found a man, asleep. It was Jim! I was really pleased to see him. When the steamboat hit the raft, Jim told me, the raft didnt break up. Jim swam after it and caught it.

There are no other children in the family for the child to talk to or play with. An only child is not able to get along well with children of his age. Some parents feel sad about making the decisions to have only one child. But the number of parents choosing to have only one child is increasing in many parts of the world. In the US, for example, more than14 percent of women between 18 and 34 plan to have just one child. The same can be seen in the UK. In Japan, the average(平均) number of children born per family had gone down to 1.42 by 1996. For some single-child parents, especially who are busy working every day, time and energy seem to be overwhelming. They dont have enough time and energy to share with more children. For other people, money is their first consideration. Many couples in Japan choose not to have large families as the cost of supporting a child up to theage of 18 reaches around $160,000.51. According to the passage, why is a single child likely to be lonely? A. Because his parents dont love him. B. Because he doesnt have holidays. C. Because he doesnt have a brother or a sister to talk to or play with. D. Because there are other children in the family.52. What does the underlined word “overwhelming”mean in the last paragraph? A. 压倒一切的 B. 宽松的 C. 流行的 D. 充足的53.Why dont parents choose to have a second child? A. The cost of supporting a child is so high. B. Parents are too busy working every day to share their time and energy with more children. C. Some parents cant still get their first childs agreement.D. Both A and B.DArgentina in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place. Around 1870, it was experiencing an economic boom(经济繁荣), and the capital, Buenos Aires, attracted many people. Farmers, as well as many foreigners from Spain and Italy, came to Buenos Aires looking for jobs. These jobs didnt pay well, and the people felt lonely with their new life in the city. As the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the poor parts of the city, the dance known as the tango came into being.At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes(阶级). It was danced in the bars and streets. At that time women were fewer than men, so if a man didnt want to be left out, his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the women. Gradually, the dance spread into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable.In Europe at this time, strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning. The interest in international dance was especially strong in Paris. Every kind of dance from ballet to belly dancing could be found in Paris theaters. After tango dances from Argentina arrive in Europe, they began to draw the interest of the public as they performed their exciting dance in cafes, though not everyone liked the new dance, the dance did find enough supporters to make it popular.The popularity of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world. Soldiers(士兵) who returned to the United States from World War I brought the tango to North America, It reached Japan in 1926, and in 2003 a tango dancer of South Korea was hired to act as a kind of dance ambassador(大使) and push for tango dancing throughout South Korea.54. According to the article, the tango dances came from _ in the beginning.A. belly dancersB. American soldiersC. a Spanish cityD. the capital of Argentina55. If a man didnt want to be left out in the tango dancing, he had to _.A. dance in the bars or streets B. dance with another manC. look for jobs in Argentina D. perform dances in cafes56.
