So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me 12.”Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, Madam,” he said politely. “Ill just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldnt have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sun burnt,” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?”“Yes,” she answered, shyly. “The beach was lovely. And I can swim too!”“Thats fine,” said Harry. “My little girl cant swim a bit yet .Of course, shes only three”“Im four,” the child said proudly. “Ill be four and a half.”Harry turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, Madam,” he said. “But you didnt get one for your daughter, did you?”“Er, well” the woman looked at the child. “I mean she hasnt started school yet. Shes only four.”“A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A childs return ticket to Jersey costs let me see13.50. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe 1.50.

Before 1750, the idea of skating didnt exist. That changed because of a man named Joseph Merlin. Merlins work was making musical instruments. In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball （化装舞会）. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each other. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was astonished to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall.

Merlin succeeded beyond expectation.D. Merlin got himself into trouble.CIn many developed countries, especially in the United States, racism(种族主义) was widespread in the early part of the twentieth century. Many African Americans were not given equal opportunities in education or employment. Marian Anderson (18971993) was an African American woman who gained fame as a concert singer in this climate of racism. She was born in Philadelphia and sang in church choirs during her childhood. When she applied for admission to a local music school in 1917, she was turned down because she was black. Unable to attend music school, she began her career as a singer for church gatherings. In 1929, she went to Europe to study voice and spent several years performing there. Her voice was widely praised throughout Europe. Then she returned to the US in 1935 and became a top concert singer after performing at Town Hall in New York City.Racism again affected Anderson in 1939. When it was arranged for her to sing at Constitution Hall in Washington, DC, the Daughters of the American Revolution opposed it because of her color. She sang instead at the Lincoln Memorial for over 75, 000 people. In 1955, Anderson became the first black soloist to sing in the Metropolitan Opera of New York City. The famous conductor Toscanini praised her voice as “heard only once in a hundred years”. She was a US delegate to the United Nations in 1958 and won the UN peace prize in 1977. Anderson eventually triumphed over racism.64According to this passage, what did Marian Anderson do between 1917 and 1929?AShe studied at a music school.BShe sang at Town Hall in New York.C She sang for religious activities.DShe studied voice in Europe.65Toscanini thought that Marian Anderson _.Awas seldom heard by peopleBsang occasionally in publicCsang only once in many yearsDhad a very rare voice 66Andersons beautiful voice was first recognized _.Aat the Lincoln MemorialBin Europe Cin Washington, DCDat the United Nations67This passage shows that Anderson finally defeated racism in the US by _.Aprotesting(抗议) to the governmentBappealing呼吁() to the United NationsCworking hard to perfect her artDdemonstrating(示威) in the streetsDWind, water, fire and icethese powerful natural forces have shaped the land of America in the past. They are still changing it today.The Colorado River slowly cut down through stone to make the Grand Canyon (大峡谷)Long ago, ice sheets cut Yosemite Valley and the Great Lakes, and glaciers (冰川) are still on the move in Alaska.Wind and rain storm hit the land from time to time. Fires sometimes burn down forests and destroy the homes of wild animals: This happened in Yellowstone Park in 1988.Dead volcanic (火山的) mountains such as Haleakala on Maui and Carter Lakein Oregon are beautiful to look at. But there are several active volcanoes in the US，especially along the Pacific Coast. There are also many earthquakes in this area. Scientists can do nothing to control earthquakes or volcanoes. This was shown clearly on May 18, 1980. At 8:32 that morning, Mount St Helens in Washington state broke out. The top of the mountain was blown off.Over 60 peoplecampers, scientists, journalists, forest workerswere killed. Hundreds of square miles of forests were knocked down. In towns over 100 miles away, day suddenly became night. An ash cloud hid the sun for many hours. Towns and fields in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho were covered with dirty gray ash.Scientists knew that Mr St Helens might erupt (爆发) soon. But no one could say when. And no one expected the terrible strength of the eruption. Many people were surprised and unready. Harry R. Truman, 84, owned a small hotel in Mt St Helens. Scientists had asked people to move away because the volcano was becoming dangerous.But Harry Truman would not leave his home. Now it is covered with many feet of dirty ash. A small cross stands above the place where Harry probably died. Perhaps it is better that he did not see the destruction of Mt St Helens, the once beautiful lake, and the forests.But slowly, life is returning to the dead area around the mountain. Grass and small plants are beginning to grow again. Deer and birds have been seen. The land will never be the same as it once was. Perhaps Mt St Helens will erupt again. But this is all part of natures pattern of change, and man has l
