christs college, cambridge university, where he was very popular because of his handsomeness and talent, where he explained the true aim of knowledge as making the spirit of man “reach out far and

born about 1742 to african american parents who were slaves. at the age of six months she was acquired, along with her sister, by john ashley, a wealthy massachusetts slaveholders. she became known as “mumbet” or “mum bett.”for nearly 30 years mumbet served the ashley family. one day, ashleys wife tried to strike mumbets sister with a spade. mumbet protected her sister and took the blow instead. furious(狂怒的), she left the house and refused to come back. when the ashleys tried to make her return, mumbet consulted a lawyer, theodore sedgewick. with his help, mumbet sued(起诉) for her freedom.while serving the ashleys, mumbet had listened to many discussions of the new massachusetts constitution. if the constitution said that all people were free and equal, then she thought it should apply to her. eventually, mumbet won her freedom- the first slave in massachusetts to do so under the new constitution.strangely enough, after the trial, the ashleys asked mumbet to come back and work for them as a paid employee. she declined and instead went to work for segdewick. mumbet died in 1829, but her legacy lived on in her many descendants(后裔). one of her great-grandchildren was w.e.b. du bois, one of the founder of the naacp, and an important writer and spokesperson for african american civil rights.mumbets tombstone still stands in the massachusetts cemetery where she was buried. it reads, in part: “she was born a slave and remained a slave and remained a slave for nearly thirty years. she could neither read nor write, yet in her own sphere she had no superior or equal.”8what do we know about mumbet according to paragraph 1?ashe was born a slavebshe was a slaveholdercshe had a famous sisterdshe was born into a rich family9what did mumbet learn from discussions about the new consititution?ashe should always obey her owners ordersbhow to apply for a jobchow to be a good servantdshe should be as free and equal as whites10what did mumbet do after the trial?ashe chose to work for a lawyerbshe found the naacpcshe continued to serve the ashleysdshe went to live with her grandchildren11what is the test mainly about?aa story of a famous writer and spokespersonbthe friendship between a lawyer and a slaveca trial that shocked the whole worlddthe life of a brave african american woman using too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. you may wonder how paving(铺砌) a road can lead to less usable fresh water. a major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. it comes from underground. the more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater.human activity is not responsible for all water shortages(短缺). drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts(干旱) than areas with more rainfall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs.thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too. in the united states, a family of four can use 1.5tons of water a day! this shows how much we depend on water to live, but theres a lot we can do to lower the number.you can take steps to save water in your home. to start with, use the same glass for your drinking water all day. wash it only once a day. run your dishwasher only when it is full. help your parents fix any leaks (泄露、漏洞)in your home. you can even help to keep our water supply clean by recycling batteries instead of throwing them away.12which of the following is most likely to lead to less groundwater?a. using river water. b. throwing batteries away.c. paving parking lots. d. throwing rubbish into lakes.13the meaning of the underlined word mans .a. water on the ground b. water from a well(井)c. water from the deep earthd. water from lakes or rivers14what can be inferred from the text?a. all water shortages are because of human behavior.b. it takes a lot of efforts to meet our water needs.c. there is much we can do to reduce family size.d. the average family in america makes proper use of water.15the last paragraph is intended to .a. show us how to fix leaks at home b. tell us how to run a dishwasherc. prove what drinking glass is best for us d. suggest what we do to save water at home16the text is mainly about _.a. why paving roads reduces our water. b. how much we depend on water to live.c. why droughts occur more in dry climates. d. how human activity affects our water supply. if you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station, you dont need to feel surprisedthey are a flash mob （快闪族）, which is a group of people who come together suddenly in a public place, do something unusual for a brief period of time, and then quickly break upthey are usually organized with the help of the internet or other digital communication networkat a predetermined time, they gather and perform some distractions（消遣） such as waving their hands and exchanging books, then, they quickly break up before the police

manhattan in may 2003 and the first successful flash mob came together on june 3, 2003 - after the first attempt was foiled at macys department storelasik claimed that the activity was designed to make fun of hipsters （起时髦的人）, and call attention to the cultural atmosphereflash mob gatherings can sometimes shock peoplesuch an activity might seem amusing and untrue, but it also might frighten
