It says that the island was once the home of the Konoh people. The name Konoh was mispronounced and finally became “Coney.”Another explanation finds the name connected with the arrival of Henry Hudson in New York Harbor in 1609. According to it, John Coleman, Hudsons right-hand man, was killed by Indians. To honor him, people named the island after him.The Dutch settled in Manhattan in1624, and they became to Coney Island soon afterwards. Since the Dutch word for rabbit (兔子) was konijn and the island had a large population of wild rabbits, many people have supposed this fact to have led to the name. There was a different story about the Dutch word. The Dutch fought the Indians there and were believed to have said that their enemies “ran like rabbits.”According to an article in a magazine, an Irish captain named Peter O Connor sailed between New York and Ireland in the late 1700s, and he named Coney Island after an island that was close to his home in Ireland and of the same size as the American island.Unfortunately, there is little evidence (证据) that the Dutch, or the English after them, used any word “Coney” for several centuries. There is a lot of evidence, however, that the name Coney Island came into use in the first half the 19th century, after a ferry (渡船) service to carry passengers from the island to the mainland.54. According to the passenger, the name Coney_. A. was mispronounced by the Konoh ColemanB. was given by a man called John ColemanC. comes from an island close to the English coastD. is close in pronunciation to a Dutch word55. It is said that John Coleman _. A. used his right hand better than the left oneB. was an important assistant of Henry HudsonC. killed many Indians in battles in 1609D. was the first man to reach the island56. The writer believes that the name Coney Island most probably _. A. has a history of less than 200 yearsB. came into use several hundred years agoC. was used first by the English, not the DutchD. is related to the sail from New York to Ireland57. From the passage we know that the word mystery means something _. A. that history books keep a record of B. people have found explanations forC. that has not been known enough aboutD. people have not yet thought aboutCBen Carson, a doctor at Johns Hopkins Childrens center, talks about how he grew up in a poor Detroit Neighborhood, when peer (同龄人) pressure almost controlled his behavior and even his clothes. He wanted so badly to be considered cool that he begged his mother to buy him an expensive Italian shirt.“My mother made me a deal,” Carson remembers, “She said, Ill give you all the money I make next week. Youll be in charge of the family finance (财务)buying food and other necessities and paying the bills. Whatever you have left over you can spend on whatever you want.”“I thought, this is going to be great,” Carson says, “I bought things we needed most and then began going through the bills. Of course I ran completely out of money long before everything was paid.”Then I realized my mother, with her third-grade education, was a financial genius (理财能手)just to keep food on our table and clothes on our backs with such a small sum of money. Id been a fool. I wanted her to buy me a 75 shirt when she only took home 100 a week, cleaning other peoples floors and washing their toilets. I took a hard look at my behavior and wondered how I could be so selfish.”“I started studying again. My grades went back up to As. Some of my peers laughed at me because I did not follow their pattern. But I refused to let that trouble me, because I had a goal.”The experience had a lasting effect, “I not only saw and felt the difference my mother made in my life, I am living out that difference as a man.”58. When Ben Carson was young, he _.A. wanted to be as cool as other boys of his ageB. tried to attract girls with his cool mannerC. was fond of improving family financesD. was seldom good at his lessons59. By saying “My mother made me a deal”, Ben Carson meant that his mother _.A. refused to buy him the shirtB. made an agreement with himC. asked him to deal with the problemD. showed him how to save money60. Ben Carson started studying hard again and rose back to the top because_.A. he had got his shirt anywayB. he got his mother as his teacherC. he wanted to be a financial genius D. he had a better goal to run after61. Ben Carsons story tells us that _.A. a boy should not learn from his peersB. he didnt understand his mother as a boyC. what his mother taught him has changed his lifeD. people with little education may become a geniusDMost people can remember a time in their lives when they learned something almost by accident, that is, without consciously (有意识地) trying to learn it. Often this kind of learning happens when we are in fact trying to learn something else. For example, many people learn a number of English words not by memorizing them or studying them directly, but by doing something they enjoy, like listening to popular songs that contain them. Similarly, some people learn words in Chinese or Japanese nit by studying those languages directly, but by studying martial arts, such as kungfu or aikido, in which Chinese or Japanese terms are used. Foreign students in the United States often learn the system (体系) of measurement simply having to shop and cook for themselves. Those activities require them to learn words like pound, gallon, inch and yard.Many educators believe that such a kind of learning, generally called content-based learning, is the best way to learn the rules of a system. Supporters of content-based learning argue that people can best understand and remember a systems basic rules by coming upon them in the context (环境) of that systemnot by studying and memorizing them out of context. Therefore, supporters of content-based learning feel that grammatical rules can best be mastered indirectly through reading and writing, rather than by mere memorization. Likewise, they feel that mathematical rules can best be learned by working out real-life problems where such rules are needed to find out the answers. In many cases, our own learning experiences may support the ideas that we have a deeper understanding of rules we find out from context than of those memorized out of context.62. By saying “they learned something almost by accident”, the author means “they learned something without _.” A. realizing they are learning itB. paying attention to the accidentC. understanding what they are learning D. knowing what they sh
