hard. i looked outside and the trees were dangerously moving from side to side. when the rain started, it was coming sideways. with a sudden explosion (爆炸), the whole sky lit up. all the lights went out. my daughter and i grabbed our cat and dog, ran downstairs and spent the rest of the night in total darkness in the basement (地下室), listening to the trees crashing, the wind blowing, and the rain beating against the windows. the next morning, we realized just how bad it had been: my apple tree was uprooted, a tree had fallen through the kitchen roof of a friends house, and half the houses in our area had lost tiles from their roofs. the total destruction at the dallas courthouse almost broke our hearts. the huge tree that had stood proudly in front of the courthouse for years was split (分裂) right down the middle. the grounds were covered with smaller trees thrown around like toothpicks(牙签). this was the first time we had experienced a hurricane and it was very scary. our power was off for five days, during which time we found many different ways to pass time without all the conveniences we were used to. everyone was sharing what they had and it turned out to be a rather unique experience. ten years has passed since hugos visit. this year, on august 29th, hurricane dennis came awfully close to following hugos footsteps but it was turned away at the last minute. 56. this

one seed in the ground and rain comes, it will grow to produce many seeds. samaklives in the small village named sounkala, in one of the worlds poorest countries. now she has a chance to see this wish come true thanks to build on, an american non-profit (非盈利的) organization that is building a school in her community. for 17 years, build on has been sending american high school students overseas to create schools in places where formal education is usually out of reach. the organization has built about 300 schools in mali, malawi, nepal, senegal, nicaragua and haiti. its goal is to get young americans in urban areas to get involved in education. at the same time it can bring knowledge to children and adults in poor villages in the developing world. sounkalas school now only has about 70 children; mud floors, poor lighting, few desks and an absence of books mean that the school is not an ideal place for learning. but now they could use build ons help. samakhasnt been to school, but she wants a better future for her five daughters, including ramatou, 12, and mariam, 10. when a woman attends school, she will teach what she learns to her children, said ramatou, who wants to become a doctor. she will also know how to take better care of her family. build on tries to build schools for grades one to three. if things go well over those three years, they will return to help build another school for grades four to six, and then set up evening adult classes. ramatou and mariam will not learn inside the walls of the build on school since they are already in the sixth grade, but samak hopes that they will be able to attend evening classes to continue learning. 60. which of the following aspects of build on is not mentioned in the text? a. its history. b. its goal. c. its

made the land surrounding it extremely fertile when it flooded every year. the egyptians were able to plant crops. also, the niles water attracted wild animals, such as water buffalo. these animals could be killed for meat or tamed and used for ploughing (耕地) the land. the nile was also a convenient and efficient way of transportation for people and goods. the structure of egypts society made it one of the most stable in history. in fact, this was an immediate result of the niles fertility. the nile also provided flax (亚麻) for trade. wheat was also traded, a crucial crop in the middle east, where famine was very common. this trading system secured the diplomatic (外交的) relationship that egypt had with other countries and often contributed to egypts economic stability. the nile was also a source of spiritual inspiration for the egyptians. the egyptians created a god to honor the goodness of the niles annual flooding. the gods name was hapy, and both he and the pharaoh (法老) were thought to control the flooding of the nile. also, the nile was considered as a causeway from life to death and the afterlife. the east was thought of as a place of birth and growth, and the west was considered the place of death, as the god ra, the sun, underwent birth, death and resurrection (复活) each time he crossed the sky. thus, all tombs (坟墓) were located west of the nile, because the egyptians believed that in order to enter the afterlife, they must be buried on the side that represented death. the nile provided the elements that make a great civilization, and contributed much to its being able to last three thousand years.64. which point about the nile was not mentioned in the second paragraph?a. its contribution to agriculture.b. its contribution to animal breeding.c. its role in trade. d. its role in transportation.65. what does the underlined word this in the third paragraph refer to?a. the niles fertility. b. egypts history.c. the niles role in civilization. d. egypts stability.66. why were the tombs in egypt located west of the nile? a. the pharaoh said that the west was the place of death.b. egyptians believed that the god, ra, underwent resurrection there.c. the west was considered the place of rebirth.d. the west represented death and it was thought to help people enter the afterlife.67. according to the passage, we can learn that _. a. in the middle east, people often suffered from hungerb. the egyptians suffered a lot from the floods of the nilec. hapy, thought to control the flooding of the nile, was a great pharaohd. the ancient egyptians had no diplomatic relations with other nationsdfor forty-three years, the smithsonian folklife festival has been bringing culture from the united states and from around the world to washington, d.c. visitors to this years outdoor festival can explore the music, history, art and food of wales. visitors to the smithsonian folklife festival can enter a musical world in one part of the festival called las americas. the musical artists are here to share the different kinds of music that are an important part of latino (拉丁族的) life and culture. they are also attending the festival to exchange ideas about their music. music in latino culture is rich in tradition and poetry. the white tents of the festival are alive with exciting sounds. visitors can hear the bomba and plena, traditional music from puerto rico or the currulao from colombias pacific coast. many forms of latin american music, such as plena and son music, can represent the customs of the countries. songs often go along with a dance. according to an expert on son music, a dance is like a proposal (祈求). most importantly, it is about the idea of being related to the earth. with probably most traditions you have the music, the dance, the poetry, and its often a proposal. for instance, you dance for rain, you dance for a good crop, you dance to have a good relationship with the earth .said a man from
