Her son, Army specialist Joseph Darby, a military police officer in the reserves(not full-time soldiers), was on the phone and she could tell something was wrong .Darby, 24, would later come out as the soldier who first alerted (使警觉)the world to the abuse(虐待) of Iraqi prisoners by US guards at Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad on January 13. I could tell in his voice he was not sleeping, Blank,45, recalls. He said, 1 dont feel good. Darby was feeling bad about something he thought was very wrong. It was really hard on him, his mother said. He didnt want to go against his troops, but he said he could not stand the cruelty he had discovered. He said he kept thinking, What if that was my mum, my brother or my wife? Darby slipped an anonymous(匿名信) note under a military investigators door in January, about the mistreatment of prisoners. He later turned in a CD-ROM with1,000 photos documenting the cruelty, according to a recently disclosed internal Army report. I told him, Your picture is in the paper, Blank said. I said, Honey, you did a good thing and good always triumphs over evil. And he said, You re right, mum.Darby grew up in western Pennsylvania, US. To help his family, he worked at a fast food restaurant as a teenager and as a mechanic after graduating from high school. He thought the Army might lead to a better life-even a college education. So, like many others, he ended up in Iraq.56. How did Darby feel when he found the abuse of Iraqi prisoners?A. Excited. B. Terrible. C. Pleased. D. Angry.57. Blank_.A. worried about what Darby had done B: was proud of her sonC. cared little about her son D. encouraged her son to tell the world the truth58. Darby joined the arm to _.A. travel around the world for free B. support his familyC. improve his life D. occupy Iraq59. The purpose of writing the passage is to_A. criticize the US troops for their wrong doings in IraqB. discuss whether Darby should disclose the abuse of Iraqi prisonersC. tell the life about the abuse of Iraqi prisonersD. show how Darby did in face of the abuse of Iraqi prisonersBScientists have long doubted that one of most powerful objects in space is a black hole. Black holes create huge amounts of gravity. The gravity produced by a black hole is so strong it can even capture（捕获）light. Black holes pull everything into them. Recently NASA exerts released information and a photograph that shows a black hole slowly destroying a star. The power gravity of the black hole is tearing the star apart. Observations from two X-ray telescopes show evidence of this.The telescopes are NASA Chandra and the European Space Agencys XMM-Newton X-ray. They were combined with earlier images from the German Roentgen Satellite. Scientists have been observing the black hole more than ten years.Stefanie Komossa works at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial (宇宙的) Physics in German. She is the leader of an international team of researchers. Miss Komossa says stars can bend or be stretched a small amount. However, evidence shows this star has been stretched so far it is now breaking apart. She says her star moved too close to the black hole. Scientists say the black hole they are observing has a mass of about 100-million times that of the Sun. They believed the star that was destroyed was about the same size as the Sun. The black hole and the star are in a galaxy(银河系) about 700-million light years away from the Earth.60. It can be learned from the first paragraph that the scientists seem to _in space.A. describe one of the most powerful objects B. worry about the huge amounts of gravityC. open out the result of a new discovery D. remind people of the secret of nature61. The underline, word evidence in the passage probably means_. .A. anything that gives reason for believing somethingB. the act or an instance of discoveringC. information presented as objective realityD. the act of informing or the condition of being informed62 Which of the following is NOT right?A. It was long time ago that the black holes began to be observed.B. A star was pulled into the black hole because of the powerful gravity.C. Only X-ray telescopes are used to observe the black hole in space.D. Scientists didnt believe that the black holes exist in space.63 The gravity produced by a black hole is so strong that_.A. maybe all the objects in space will be destroyedB. it can even capture light C. none of objects in space can avoid being stretchedD. the galaxy will become a target attacked in spaceCThe cicada（蝉） is a typical insect species which uses a combinatorial communication system. In their life cycle, communication is very important, for only through the exchange of sounds do cicadas know where to meet and when to mate. Three different calls are employed for this purpose. Because of their limited sound producing mechanisms, cicadas can make only ticks and buzzes. The only way they can distinguish between congregation and courtship calls is by varying the rate with which they make ticks and buzzes. The congregation call consists of 12 to 40 ticks, delivered rapidly, followed by a two-second buzz. It is given by males but attracts cicadas of both sexes. Once they are all together, the males use courtship calls. The preliminary call, a prolonged, slow ticking, is given when the male notices a female near him. The advanced call, a prolonged series of short buzzes at the same slow rate, is given when a female is almost within grasp. The preliminary call almost in variably occurs before the advanced call, although the latter is given without the preliminary call occurring first if a female is suddenly discovered very near by During typical courtship, though, the two calls together result in ticking followed by a buzzing-the same pattern which comprises the congregation call but delivered at a slower rate. In this way, cicadas show efficient use of their minimal sound producing ability, organizing two sounds delivered at a high rate as one call and the same sounds delivered at a slow rate as two more calls.64. The cicada congregation call_.A. attracts only males. B. is given by both sexes.C. is given only by males. D. attracts only females.65. During typical courtship, when a male first notices a female near him, he gives_.A. the two courtship calls together. B a series of slow ticks.C. 12 to 40 rapid ticks. D. a two-second buzz.66. How does the congregation call differ from the two courtship calls together?A. It is delivered at a slower rate. B. It is delivered at a faster rate.C. The ticks precede the buzzes. D The buzzes precede the ticks.67. According to this passage, why is communication so important for cicadas?A. It helps them defend themselves against other insect species.B. It warns them of approaching danger.C. It separates the males from the females.D. It is necessary for the continuation of the species.D.His feet had touched the ground again, but South African Mike Melvilles head was still high above the clouds.Seeing the earth from the edge of space was an amazing experience, said the 63-year-old pilot It was more than a personal experience. Melville and his rocket plane Space Ship One made history last Monday when it became the first private manned flight to reach space.The spacecraft was carried by a jet (喷气机) until it reached a height of 14 kilometers. Then it separated from the jet and continued its journey beyond the earths atmosphere. The craft reached space by traveling at three times the speed of sound.On board, Melville was able to see the earth. He also became weightless for about 3 minutes when the craft reached its highest altitude of 100 kilometers. He even opened a bag of colorful chocolate sweets to see if they would float around in the cockpit (驾驶员座舱) - they did.The successful flight brought the design team, led by famous American designer Burt Rutan, closer to winning the USS10 million Ansari X Prize. The award will be given to the first privately funded (投资) spacecraft to send three people 100 kilometers above the earth. The spacecraft alsohas to land safely and repeat the achievement within two weeks.This is to prove that the craft is reliable ( 可靠的) and has the ability to carry paying customers. The flight opens a new chapter in history, putting space within the reach of ordinary citizens, said Patti Smith, head of commercial space transportation at the US Federal Aviation Administration (联邦航空局).Its hoped that this flight is the first step toward space tourism. Members of the public could pay US$20,000-100,000 for the chance to fly high above the earths atmosphere, float in zero gravity and take in the sights of space.Rutan thinks that affordable space flights will be possible within the next 10 to 15 years. And thats just the beginning. We are heading in to orbit sooner than you think, he said.We do not intend to stay in low-earth orbit for ages. The next 25 years will be a wild ride . one that history will note was done for the benefit of everyone.68. The story is about_.A. a successful flight into pace B. the beginning of affo
