D. a medical magazineBFrederick Douglass was a great leader during the Civil War although he was not a soldier during the Civil War. Although he

25、was not a soldier and was not part of the military, he still gained popularity in a different way. Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey was born on February 7, 1817 in Tuckahoe, Maryland. His mother Harriet Bailey, was a slave. However, his fathers identity is unknown. It became the source of his tr

26、agedy. He was raised by his grandparents because he was separated from his mother when he was born. At seven years old, Frederick was sent to a farm and worked for Captain Aaron Anthony, his master. He met his two sisters and a brother at the farm, however, he later admitted that he felt like a stra

27、nger among his own brothers and sisters. At the age of eight, Frederick became a slave for Hugh Auld, one of Captain Anthonys relatives in Baltimore. Frederick managed to persuade Aulds wife to teach him how to read. She began to teach him lessons but eventually changed her mind and stopped giving h

28、im lessons because she felt that slaves should not be taught how to read and write. However, Frederick learned how to read and write through the help of his educated playmates. Soon, Frederick realized that the only way to rise from his present lifestyle was through education and knowledge. He belie

29、ved that slave masters didnt want their slaves to become educated because they would rise from ignorance and find a way to resist. This was Fredericks main reason for learning how to read and write.Frederick attempted to escape in 1836. After he was caught, he was forced to live as a slave again in

30、Maryland. Two years later, he tried to escape once more. He fled Maryland and made his way to New Bedford, Massachusetts. Fearful that he might be caught again, he changed his name to Frederick Douglass. The State of Massachusetts abolished slavery, and this was where Frederick became active in anti

31、-slavery movements. He was on a mission to help end slavery. Douglass held lectures in which he described the slaves sad life in the fields. He often made trips to the South to help slaves escape through a secret route called the Underground Railroad. In 1847, he moved to New York and established a

32、newspaper called The North Star, which was solely dedicated to spreading the word of abolitionism(废奴论).Fredericks involvement and contributions to the anti-slavery movement earned him a place in American history as an icon of liberation and courage. Most importantly, Frederick is also a symbol of ed

33、ucation and hard work. He wanted people to remember that knowledge is power and education is vital.53. Fredericks life in Massachusetts was different from that in Maryland in that_.A. Frederick could learn how to read and write in Massachusetts.B. Frederick lived totally freely in MassachusettsC. Fr

34、ederick was able to practice his beliefs. D. Frederick could write for slaves in Massachusetts.54. What can be learned about Frederick from the passage?A. Slavery prevented him from being close to his brothers and sisters.B. He didnt realize he lived an unjust society when young.C. He traveled to Ne

35、w York and established The North Star in 1836.D. He spent his early childhood in Massachusetts.55. What is the best title for the passage?A. A great leader during the Civil War.B. Fredericks Contributions to the Anti-slavery movement.C. Help the Slaves Escape through the Underground Railroad.D. A Ma

36、ns Journey from a Slave to a Leader.CWith exploding consumer demand for Greek yogurt, production is up. Thats great for food companies bottom lines, but it also leaves them dealing with a lot more acid whey(酸乳清), a problematic byproduct of the Greek yogurt-making process.Acid whey, if not properly d

37、ealt with, can cause environmental problems. At present , food companies typically pay to landspread it on farmers fields or dump it down the drain like sweage. Some plants are starting to send it to some professional companies, where it is used to produce methane（沼气）.Scientist at the university of

38、Wisconsin-Madison are developing a better choice- one that will transform this trash into treasure. “The whole goal is to take this problematic mixture of stuff acid wheyand separate all of the various components and find commercial use for them,” says Dean Sommer, a food technologist with Wisconsin

39、 Center for Diary Research(CDR) in UW-Madison College of Agricultural and Life Science. That is no easy task.Food companies have been separating the components of sweet wheythe byproduct of cheese productionfor more than a decade now, obtaining high-value whey protein powders that are featured in mu

40、scle-building products and other high-protein foods and drinks. Compared to acid whey, its mostly water95 percentbut it contains a lot less protein, which is considered the valuable part. Some of the other “solid” in acid whey, which include lactose(乳糖),lactic acid, calcium, phosphorus and galactose

41、, make it a lot more difficult to process. For example, thanks to galactose and lactic acid, it turns into a sticky mess when its dried down.Instead of drying it, CDR scientists are developing technologies that use high -tech filters(过滤器) , or membranes, to separate out the various components. “We a

42、re taking the membranes that are available to us and stringing them together and developing a process that allows us to get some value -added ingredients out at the other end,” says diary processing technologist Karen Smith, who is working on the project.At this point , the CDR has set its sight on

43、lactose, an ingredient that food companies will pay good money for in food-grade form. “Its the lowest-hanging fruit, the most valuable thing in there in terms of amount and potential worth,” says Sommer.The technology is quite underway. While Sommer cant give away names, he says a number of compani

44、es are already carrying out lactose-separating technology in their commercial plans. Separating the other components will later be part of the long-term goal for this technology. When its perfected, explains Sommer, acid whey will be stripped of its ingredients until there is nothing left. “It will

45、just be water ,” he says.56. Consumers fast rising demand for Greek yogurt _A. makes acid whey in short supply.B. actually takes double-edge-sword effect.C. destroys food companies bottom linesD. brings food companies nothing but good news57.What can we learn about acid whey from Paragrph 2?A. It is

46、 of no practical use at all.B. Its a burden to food companies.C. Food companies can profit from it.D. Farmers enjoy employing to enrich the soil.58.Compared with acid whey, sweet whey _A. is much easier to process B. is more sticky whey dried downC. is composed of water with valuable parts.D. is a m

47、ore valuable byproduct of cheese production59. According to the article,Sommer is_ lactose-separating technologyA. subjective about B. doubtful aboutC. optimistic about D. crazy about.DIn the last days of December, Dr Hall, the village priest, was working in his study when his servant entered the ro

48、om, in great alarm.'Oh, Dr Hall, sir,' she cried. 'What do you think? The poor Squire's dead!''What? Squire Bowles? What are you saying, woman? 'replied the priest. 'I saw him only yesterday''Yes, sir, I know, 'said the servant, 'but it's true. Mr

49、Wickem, the clerk, has just brought the news on his way to ring the church bell. You'll hear it yourself in a moment. Listen! There it is. 'And sure enough, the bell then began to ring, long and slow, telling the people of the village that someone had died.Dr Hall stood up. 'This is terr

50、ible, 'he said. 'I must go up to the Hall at once. The Squire was so much better yesterday. It seems so sudden.''Yes, sir,'agreed the servant.' Mr Wickem said that the poor Squire was taken ill very suddenly with a terrible pain. He died very quickly, and Wickem said they wan

51、t him buried quickly too.''Yes, yes; well, I must ask Mrs Bowles herself or Mr Joseph, 'said the priest. 'Bring me my coat and hat, please. Oh, and tell Mr Wickem that I would like to see him when he has finished ringing the bell.' And he hurried off to the Hall.When he returned

52、an hour later, he found the clerk waiting for him.'There's a lot of work for you to do, Wickem, 'he said, 'and not much time to do it.''Yes, sir, 'said Wickem.' You'll want the family tomb opened, of course''No, no, not at all,' replied Dr Hall. 'T

53、he poor Squire said before he died that he did not want to be buried in the family tomb. It is to be an earth grave in the churchyard.''Excuse me, sir, 'said Wickem, very surprised. 'Do I understand you right? No tomb, you say, and just an earth grave? The poor Squire was too ill to

54、know what he was saying, surely?''Yes, Wickem, it seems strange to me too,' said the priest. 'But Mr Joseph tells me that his father, or I should say his stepfather, made his wishes very clear when he was in good health. Clean earth and open air. You know, of course, the Squire had s

55、ome strange ideas, though he never told me of this one. And there's another thing, Wickem. No coffin.''Oh dear, oh dear!' said Wickem. 'There'll be some talk about that. And I know that old Mr Wright has some lovely wood for the Squire's coffinhe's kept it for him for

56、 years. 'Well, 'said Dr Hall, 'those are the Squire's wishes, so I'm told, so that's what we must do. You must get the grave dug and everything ready by ten o'clock tomorrow night. Tell Wright that we shall need some lights.''Very well, sir. If those are the order

57、s, I must do my best, 'said Wickem. 'Shall I send the women from the village to prepare the body?''No, Wickem. That was not mentioned,' said the priest. 'No doubt Mr Joseph will send for them if he wants them. You have enough work to do without that. Good night, Wick-em.' He paused. 'I w
