They werent sitting down for a cup of coffee or a piece of bread. They were sitting down to change the world, or, at least, a part of it.Throughout the South, prejudice (偏见) against African Americans was common. The Woolworths lunch counter like many restaurants, hotels, and hospitals refused to serve African Americans. This humiliating (屈辱的) treatment made many African Americans unhappy and begin to say, “No more!” So, Ezell A. Blair, Jr., Franklin McCain, Joseph McNeil, and David Richmond the four college students decided to fight back without violence. The four men walked into Woolworths with a clear plan of action. They knew the servers would refuse to serve them. They knew other customers would treat them rudely. But no matter what, they would remain peaceful and polite, even to those who behaved hatefully toward them. Theyd been inspired by civil-rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. King asked African Americans to challenge prejudice and demand equal treatment. But he did not believe in using violence to get results. Dr. King said that love can lead to understanding, but hate only leads to more hate. African Americans, he said, must do something quite difficult: fight violence and hate with peace and love. The four men in Greensboro believed in the teachings of Dr. King. But as they took their seats at the counter, they had to wonder: Would these ideas work? In fact they did. By the end of the week, the four were joined by hundreds of other protesters (抗议者). News of their “sit-in” spread around the country, and soon other groups were protesting at Woolworths around the country. By July, the lunch counter at Woolworths was open to African Americans. Other restaurants soon followed. Through their simple act of sitting down, the four men took a brave stand for equality and peace. 21.Why did four college students walk into the Woolworths store on February 1, 1960? A.To have a drink. B.To enjoy a tasty lunch. C. To fight for equal rights. D.To join in a heated discussion.22.How did Dr. King affect the four college students in Greensboro? A. By pushing them to go to college. B. By acting as a role model for them. C. By leading them to challenge themselves. D. By encouraging them to respect each other. 23.How did the other protesters react to the four college students sit-in? A. They considered it unreasonable. B. They expressed dissatisfaction. C. They showed no interest in it. D. They strongly supported it.24.What is the best title for the text?A. Stand Up by Sitting Down B. The Story of Dr. Martin Luther King C. A Lasting Solution to Social Inequality D. Explore the roles of African AmericaB“You know, the soft subjects,” says the boy in maths. “The easy ones: the stupid girls at the bottom take them. Like dance. It shouldnt even be a subject.” Were choosing subjects for our A-level taster day at school. I see the raised eyebrows (眉毛) when I explain two of my GCSE (General Certificate of Secondary Education) choices are dance and drama (戏剧).I was told by advisers that dance and drama wouldnt help me to get a suitable career. My friends told me Id get bored of dance and switch to science within the first month.But taking GCSE dance was the best decision I ever made. Dance gives me something to pour my head and heart into. It gives me a feeling of belonging, creativity, security and freedom. The education secretary Nicky Morgan has put emphasis on (强调) science, technology,engineering and maths (STEM), saying that students who focus on the arts risk their careers. Stopping young people from expressing themselves at such a young age is not doing them any favours. Perhaps Nicky Morgan has forgotten to open the door of having a drive to study that subject day in, day out. It shouldnt matter what that subject is.I dont doubt the influence that STEM subjects can have on the people that love them. But to force children into one field is cruel. As much as I try, Im not good at and dont love physics, biology or maths. I dont want a career in these areas. There has been a decrease in the number of state schools offering arts subjects taught by specialist teachers. I cant even imagine how it feels to be told that you dont teach a “real subject” by an 8-year-old boy. To the teachers, the parents, the government I say: Let children make their own decisions. Let them live in the present. Let them have a real, unlimited education.25.How does the boy in maths feel about dance?A. Useless.B. Difficult. C. Beautiful.D. Important.26.After the author took GCSE dance, she _.A. lost interest in it B. kept her mind on itC. turned to other subjects D. struggled with her lessons27.What do we know about Nicky Morgan?A. She encourages students to learn soft subjects.B. She suggests students take a risk in their careers.C. She underlines the importance of STEM subjects.D. She allows students to express themselves freely.28.Whats the present situation of arts subjects?A. They attract much attention worldwide. B. They are taught by non-professionals.C. They are considered less important. D. They have made great progress.CHave you ever caught yourself saying, “I hate small talk!” the minute you walk into a party? If so, you might be an introvert (内向的人). Introverts hate to chat about “small” subjects with people. They are fine when you talk one on one but seem to get lost in the crowd when theres a group around. If youre talking to an introvert, you might find that your first few conversations go one of two ways. Either theyll seem to get bored and not say much or theyll seem to skate over small talk in favor of more in-depth topics. What you need to know is that the introvert is not being rude. Its just that they dont like small talk. Heres why.Small talk serves as a gateway toward deeper conversation. Some introverts dont realize that small talk will actually help them get to the bigger topics. You dont need to stay on small talk forever. However, sometimes introverts feel that even the short amount of time it takes to get into the real conversation is a waste of time. Small talk is very fast. Someone says something and this should be followed up with a quick response. But introverts like to chew on their words before saying them aloud. Before they answer, theyll mull over different thoughts.Small talk by its very nature invites more people to join in. The more people who join the conversation, the more the introvert will tend to (倾向于) step back. As a result, theyll be quiet. Small talk is about throwing out subjects in the hope that one or more of them can be turned into a common point of interest. The listening involved with small talk is not in-depth. The purpose is about listening “lightly” so you can figure out the right topics to spend some time on. Introverts tend to be great listeners, but they use active listening rather than light listening. This makes them wonderful friends, but can also make it difficult for new people to understand why theyre so quiet.29.How do introverts respond to a chat?A. They try to avoid it. B. They get excited about it.C. They give it their full attention. D. They focus on unimportant topics.30.What do we know about small talk?A. It goes slowly. B. It costs people a lot of time.C. It contributes to deeper topics. D. It provides much useful information.31.What does the underlined phrase “mull over” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?A. Give up.B. Think over. C. Write down.D. Forget about.32.How can we become a good talker in small conversations?A. Figure out the deep meaning of questions. B. Think twice before answering questions.C. Try to find shared topics. D. Be a quiet listener.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Being a superhero to othersEwan Drum has always liked superheroes. He likes how they help people.
