41、st.BIn 1946, Will Thomas decided he did not wish to live in his native land any longer and that he would take his wife and children to Haiti, where as Negroes in a Negro republic, they would be free of racial prejudice and their opportunities would be limited only by their ability to use them.He doe

42、s not believe he need detail the reasons behind this unhappy decision, except to say that being considered and treated as an inferior on every level of life can become intolerable, especially when it is by one's race rather than his individual worth that he is prejudged and condemned.When he rea

43、ched this point, he had become an unbeliever in both God and country, for it seemed to him that racial segregation and all that it implied was as rigid on the spiritual as on the ordinary practical life. And so finally he made the decision to leave his native land permanently.Love of country, Thomas

44、 found, can be very deep, very strong. So he thought to make one final try in his motherland for the equality of status which he considered he had been denied; and he chose Vermont for the experiment. Thomas reasoned that because of its great traditions of personal freedom there was at least a chanc

45、e that he and his family might find there what they so yearned for, and they did. In the small farming community where they settled, they were accepted on a basis of individuality unqualified by race.However, it is not that which now seems most important to him. It is, rather, that in such a friendl

46、y atmosphere, and amid the quiet of a beautiful countryside, it was possible to think calmly,and gradually to gain understandings by which Thomas believes he can live in peace with other men, and with himself, for the rest of his life.One of these understandings is that unless one seeks sincerely fo

47、r whatever it is he most wants, he surely will not find it, and that what he really had been seeking most of his life was not what he wanted but instead was justification for the resentments he felt. This is not to say there was not cause for those resentments, but rather that he had so concentrated

48、 upon them he could not see that the picture was not all bad that in fact, there was considerable good in it.Thomas had condemned his country and his religion because he viewed only what seemed wrong in both. But when he was able to remove the blinds of his own prejudice, it became clear that these

49、failures, these flaws in church and state, were human failures, human flaws, and not mere self willed bigotry; and that within each there were, and there always had been, many who had worked and fought for what was right.Thomas thinks the core of his earlier bitterness had been the conviction that h

50、e had been denied his birthright of human dignity. But he knows now that is something which cannot be given or taken away by man.It has been written that he who seeks shall find, and that to him who asks, it shall be given. And he can only testify that when he did seek, he did find; and that when he

51、 asked, it was given to him. And he knows that only the God he once denied could bestow such precious gifts.()58. What made Will Thomas decide to escape his native land in 1946?A. Disappointment with God. B. Equality in a Negro republic.C. Racial discrimination. D. Lack of individual worth.()59. Whe

52、re should the sentence“ hHeodwidevneort, do it. ” be placed?A. Between Paragraphs 1 and 2. B. Between Paragraphs 2 and 3.C. Between Paragraphs 3 and 4. D. Between Paragraphs 4 and 5.()60. By writing the passage, the author intended to A. question human failures and flawsB. suggest how to fight for h

53、uman dignityC. call on more people to condemn racismD. show transformation in thinking Thomas underwentFor 150 million years during the age of the dinosaurs, a group of dolphin like reptiles called ichthyosaurs ruled the ocean until everything started to go wrong.After multiplying into about 100 kno

54、wn species, ichthyosaurs began to disappear from the oceans around the middle of the Cretaceous period, a time of turbulent changes in the environment. The aquatic reptiles went extinct 28 million years before the rest of their dinosaur cohort.Scientists have been unable to find a singular cataclysm

55、ic event, such as a volcanic eruption or meteorite strike, that could explain ichthyosaurs' abrupt disappearance from the fossil record.Now researchers have new explanation for the lizard fish's demise: They had lost their ability to adapt to a swiftly changing climate.The aquatic lizards th

56、rived throughout the early years of the dinosaurs in the Permian, Triassic and Jurassic periods. Then came the Cretaceous.That was a turbulent time to live on Earth. The poles were nearly ice free, causing sea levels to reach great heights. Temperatures were among the hottest the planet has seen in

57、the last 250 million years.Scientists have blamed the demise of the ichthyosaurs on their inability to keep up with other predators or the loss of key prey species. But a new study by Valentin Fischer, a paleontologist who studies ichthyosaurs at the University of Liege in Belgium, and his colleague

58、s says neither of these explanations could account for the scale and speed of the die off.Writing in the journal Nature Communications, Fischer and his colleagues argue that the unstable climate contributed to the disappearance of ichthyosaurs during a 5 million to 6 million year window in the Cretaceous known as the Cenomanian stage.While the rising temperatur
