A
For a small town, Manhattan, Kansas has some big surprise. And one of them is the Holiday Inn
Hotel, with rooms built around a swimming pool and a friendly family atmosphere.
The Holiday Inn is where Manhattan people often go for a special party, or a night out. A lot of them choose to eat in the brightly lit restaurant near the pool. And many of them will be served by Ellen Logan, who has worked as a waitress here for more than two years.
Ellen, like most of the waitresses, is also a student. She comes from Nebraska, hut she's planning
one day to be a veterinary surgeon, and to care for small animals. But in order to support herself at college, she works twenty hours a week at the Holiday Inn.
Ellen soon learned what every waitress finds out. Your best friend has a good pair of shoes. She paid fifty-five dollars for hers, much more than she would usually spend. She's discovered something else, too. You don't have to know much about food to be a good waitress, but you do have to know a lot about people.
"A lot of business people always stay here when they come to Manhattan", she explains. "They like you to recognize them and remember their favorite dishes. But some couples come for a night out together. They just want to be left alone. Then there are people who can't make up their minds. They look down the menu and say 'What do you suggest? ' So I ask them how hungry they are. If they say 'Not
very', I suggest the salad bar, with soup, salad, bread and a fruit Kansas Strip Steak, with potatoes or rice. You get salad and bread as well; it's very nice. Really- good value."
Ellen may get tired sometimes, but at least she's learning too much about people. She'll probably make a good animal doctor, but if she finds she doesn't like it after all, she can always become a psychiatrist(精神病专家) instead.

By the time the Montgomery Improvement Association chose the 26-year-old Martin Luther King, Jr as its leader, the hours-old bus boycott by the black citizens of Montgomery, Alabama, was already a great success. King would later write that his unexpected call to leadership "happened so quickly that I did not have time to think it through." "It is likely that if I had, I would have turned down the nomination(提名 ) ."
Although press reports at the time paid much attention to his public speaking skills, King was actually an unwilling leader of a movement started by others. His later writings and private letters show that he doubted the movement at that time. In the early days of his taking part, King was troubled by telephone threats, disagreement within the black community and Montgomery's "get tough" policy. One
night, as he considered ways to "move out of the picture without appearing a coward(懦夫) ," he began to pray aloud and, at that moment, "experienced the presence of the God as I had never experienced him before."
He would later admit that when the boycott began, he didn't firmly believe in Gandhian (甘地) principles. Although he had been introduced to those in college, he had remained doubtful. "I thought the only way we could solve our problem of segregation(种族隔离 ) was an armed revolution," he recalled.
Only after his home was bombed in late jaruary did King reconsider his views on violence. (At the time, he was looking for a gun permit and was protected by armed bodyguards. ) Competing with each other to influence King were two pacifists(和平主义者) : Bayard Rustin and the Rev. Glenn E. Smiley.
Rustin was shocked to discover a gun in King's house, while Smiley told fellow pacifists that King's home was "an arsenal(军火库)".
By the time the Supreme Court(最高法院) said that the bus company was wrong to separate blacks from whites in November 1956, King had been permanently changed.
"Living through the real experience of the protest, non-violence became more than a method to which I gave intellectual assent(同意)," he would later explain. "It became a commitment(约束) to a way of life."
After the boycott, King allowed himself to think deeply about his growing fame and his
own self doubts. "To be honest, I'm worried to death," he said. "A man who succeeds at 27 has a difficult job ahead. People will be expecting me to pull rabbits out of the hat for the rest of my life."
67. What did King think of his nomination as leader of the Montgomery Boycott?
A. He hadn't expected it.
B. He had to think about it carefully.
C. He would refuse to accept it.
D. He was prepared to accept it.
68. At first King was unwilling to lead the movement because he
A. doubted if the boycott would be successful
B. was troubled with a traffic accident at that time
C. thought he was too young to be a leader
D. himself didn't start the boycott
69. Which of the following was the immediate cause that made King change his view on violence?
A. The education he received in college.
B. The attack on his home.
C. His belief in the Gandhian principles.
D. The influence of two active non-violence men.
70. What happened to King after he successfully led the boycott against the bus company?
A. He was worried to death.
B. He knew he would be murdered.
C. He firmly believed in non-violence.
D. He was proud of being famous at an early age.
71. What did King mean by the sentence "People will be expecting me to pull rabbits out of the
hat for the rest of my life"?
A. His dream was to become a magician.
B. Many people were admiring his great success.
C. More and more people began to trust him.
D. People would expect him always to succeed.

Crossroads International
How does Crossroads work?
Crossroads is a resource network. We take goods Hong Kong doesn't want and give them to people who badly need them. We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare arena(福利院) in Hang Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa. So Crossroads is just that: a Crossroads between need and resource.
Who do we help?
The welfare agencies we help do not run on large budgets(预算). They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it. They can't get the job done without back-up, though, so our task is to help them do their task. Our warehouse is full of goods, from computers to high chairs, clothing to books, stationery to medical provision, cupboards to dining sets. They send us a list of their needs and we try to match it with the resource we have in stock.
How do we operate?
Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget. We do not buy the goods we send. They are donated (捐赠). Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight (货运), we ask transport companies to donate their services. Nobody in our organization receives a salary. Even our
full-time staff work on a voluntary
basis.
Those that donate goods and services:
·Factories · Manufacturers
·Hospitals · Hotels
· Educational Institutions · Householders
· Transport Companies · Offices
·Other Charities
One resource that we are always in need of is people. While we receive large quantities of goods and there is never a short supply of requests for them, we are always in need of hands to help sort and prepare them for shipping.
What Can I do?
We are always in need of people. We have a lot of tasks, ff you are volunteering regularly, we can offer work in some of the following categories. Some of the time, you are welcome to number your top three choices and we will do our best to accommodate(提供)them.
·Clothing categorization ·Sewing
·Toy categorization ·Furniture handling
·Book categorization ·Driving
·Household goods categorization ·Office work
·Electrical goods categorization ·Book keeping
·Stationery categorization ·Fund-raising
·Medical categorization

I'm certain that any of you who have been in our college very long may have already heard about this course. As you know, almost half the students in my class failed last term. Maybe you will feel afraid and say that I don't like my students.
Let me explain how that came about. This class is a composition class. In composition class there are certain rules that must be followed. It is unfortunate that these days many students feel that these rules are not necessary. When I grade a paper and I see that you have made a mistake in spelling a word, you have lost 10 points. And any paper that you can not finish on time will not be accepted. I also ask you to do some reading on which I will give tests. The class meets on Tuesday and Thursday. Your final grade is based on the total scores of the four tests and six compositions. Any time you have a prob1em，please come to see me in my office．My office is on the fourth floor of the building directly in front of the building we are in now．The hours are 2：00 pm on the same days as class．For Thursday you will write a composition about the story on Page 74 of the textbook．If there are no questions，that will be all for today．I will see you on Thursday. 1—5 BCCBA 6一10 ACACA 11—15 BBAAA 16--20 CBABB

31．C考查分词和介词，课本P113第五行。
32．B考查名词性从句的连接词和状语从句的连接词。第一个词应能引导宾语从句且在从句
中作主语故排除C、D；从第二个词的含义上排除A。unless“如果不……”。
33．A考查不定式。不定式在系表结构即It is +形容词+to do中只用主动语态。此句可以理
解为It is hard (for you )to slow down.

标题要以Ellen 为中心，选项D最有干扰性，但D项只是文章的一个重要部分。
57. A 紧接在划线部分后面的半句中提到了 to care for small animals，最后一段第二行中也提
到she’ll Probably make a good animal doctor，所以答案为A

B项，说明服务员需要一双好鞋有利于工作，但不是被要求非要不可；C、D两项与

One possible version：
The Water Cycle
The heat of the sun evaporates water from the oceans，seas，rivers and lakes．Water vapor is formed．This rises and forms clouds in the air．As the clouds rise，they are cooled．The higher they rise，the more they are cooled．This causes more and more water Vapor to condense．In this way，the tiny drops of water in the clouds get bigger and bigger until they are heavy enough to fall to the earth as rain．Some of rainwater sinks into the ground．Thirsty plants may use it up．Most of the water goes back to the rivers，seas and oceans．This process called the water cycle then starts all over again．

A
For a small town, Manhattan, Kansas has some big surprise. And one of them is the Holiday Inn
Hotel, with rooms built around a swimming pool and a friendly family atmosphere.
The Holiday Inn is where Manhattan people often go for a special party, or a night out. A lot of them choose to eat in the brightly lit restaurant near the pool. And many of them will be served by Ellen Logan, who has worked as a waitress here for more than two years.
Ellen, like most of the waitresses, is also a student. She comes from Nebraska, hut she's planning
one day to be a veterinary surgeon, and to care for small animals. But in order to support herself at college, she works twenty hours a week at the Holiday Inn.
Ellen soon learned what every waitress finds out. Your best friend has a good pair of shoes. She paid fifty-five dollars for hers, much more than she would usually spend. She's discovered something else, too. You don't have to know much about food to be a good waitress, but you do have to know a lot about people.
"A lot of business people always stay here when they come to Manhattan", she explains. "They like you to recognize them and remember their favorite dishes. But some couples come for a night out together. They just want to be left alone. Then there are people who can't make up their minds. They look down the menu and say 'What do you suggest? ' So I ask them how hungry they are. If they say 'Not
very', I suggest the salad bar, with soup, salad, bread and a fruit Kansas Strip Steak, with potatoes or rice. You get salad and bread as well; it's very nice. Really- good value."
Ellen may get tired sometimes, but at least she's learning too much about people. She'll probably make a good animal doctor, but if she finds she doesn't like it after all, she can always become a psychiatrist(精神病专家) instead.

By the time the Montgomery Improvement Association chose the 26-year-old Martin Luther King, Jr as its leader, the hours-old bus boycott by the black citizens of Montgomery, Alabama, was already a great success. King would later write that his unexpected call to leadership "happened so quickly that I did not have time to think it through." "It is likely that if I had, I would have turned down the nomination(提名 ) ."
Although press reports at the time paid much attention to his public speaking skills, King was actually an unwilling leader of a movement started by others. His later writings and private letters show that he doubted the movement at that time. In the early days of his taking part, King was troubled by telephone threats, disagreement within the black community and Montgomery's "get tough" policy. One
night, as he considered ways to "move out of the picture without appearing a coward(懦夫) ," he began to pray aloud and, at that moment, "experienced the presence of the God as I had never experienced him before."
He would later admit that when the boycott began, he didn't firmly believe in Gandhian (甘地) principles. Although he had been introduced to those in college, he had remained doubtful. "I thought the only way we could solve our problem of segregation(种族隔离 ) was an armed revolution," he recalled.
Only after his home was bombed in late jaruary did King reconsider his views on violence. (At the time, he was looking for a gun permit and was protected by armed bodyguards. ) Competing with each other to influence King were two pacifists(和平主义者) : Bayard Rustin and the Rev. Glenn E. Smiley.
Rustin was shocked to discover a gun in King's house, while Smiley told fellow pacifists that King's home was "an arsenal(军火库)".
By the time the Supreme Court(最高法院) said that the bus company was wrong to separate blacks from whites in November 1956, King had been permanently changed.
"Living through the real experience of the protest, non-violence became more than a method to which I gave intellectual assent(同意)," he would later explain. "It became a commitment(约束) to a way of life."
After the boycott, King allowed himself to think deeply about his growing fame and his
own self doubts. "To be honest, I'm worried to death," he said. "A man who succeeds at 27 has a difficult job ahead. People will be expecting me to pull rabbits out of the hat for the rest of my life."
67. What did King think of his nomination as leader of the Montgomery Boycott?
A. He hadn't expected it.
B. He had to think about it carefully.
C. He would refuse to accept it.
D. He was prepared to accept it.
68. At first King was unwilling to lead the movement because he
A. doubted if the boycott would be successful
B. was troubled with a traffic accident at that time
C. thought he was too young to be a leader
D. himself didn't start the boycott
69. Which of the following was the immediate cause that made King change his view on violence?
A. The education he received in college.
B. The attack on his home.
C. His belief in the Gandhian principles.
D. The influence of two active non-violence men.
70. What happened to King after he successfully led the boycott against the bus company?
A. He was worried to death.
B. He knew he would be murdered.
C. He firmly believed in non-violence.
D. He was proud of being famous at an early age.
71. What did King mean by the sentence "People will be expecting me to pull rabbits out of the
hat for the rest of my life"?
A. His dream was to become a magician.
B. Many people were admiring his great success.
C. More and more people began to trust him.
D. People would expect him always to succeed.

Crossroads International
How does Crossroads work?
Crossroads is a resource network. We take goods Hong Kong doesn't want and give them to people who badly need them. We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare arena(福利院) in Hang Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa. So Crossroads is just that: a Crossroads between need and resource.
Who do we help?
The welfare agencies we help do not run on large budgets(预算). They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it. They can't get the job done without back-up, though, so our task is to help them do their task. Our warehouse is full of goods, from computers to high chairs, clothing to books, stationery to medical provision, cupboards to dining sets. They send us a list of their needs and we try to match it with the resource we have in stock.
How do we operate?
Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget. We do not buy the goods we send. They are donated (捐赠). Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight (货运), we ask transport companies to donate their services. Nobody in our organization receives a salary. Even our
full-time staff work on a voluntary
basis.
Those that donate goods and services:
·Factories · Manufacturers
·Hospitals · Hotels
· Educational Institutions · Householders
· Transport Companies · Offices
·Other Charities
One resource that we are always in need of is people. While we receive large quantities of goods and there is never a short supply of requests for them, we are always in need of hands to help sort and prepare them for shipping.
What Can I do?
We are always in need of people. We have a lot of tasks, ff you are volunteering regularly, we can offer work in some of the following categories. Some of the time, you are welcome to number your top three choices and we will do our best to accommodate(提供)them.
·Clothing categorization ·Sewing
·Toy categorization ·Furniture handling
·Book categorization ·Driving
·Household goods categorization ·Office work
·Electrical goods categorization ·Book keeping
·Stationery categorization ·Fund-raising
·Medical categorization

I'm certain that any of you who have been in our college very long may have already heard about this course. As you know, almost half the students in my class failed last term. Maybe you will feel afraid and say that I don't like my students.
Let me explain how that came about. This class is a composition class. In composition class there are certain rules that must be followed. It is unfortunate that these days many students feel that these rules are not necessary. When I grade a paper and I see that you have made a mistake in spelling a word, you have lost 10 points. And any paper that you can not finish on time will not be accepted. I also ask you to do some reading on which I will give tests. The class meets on Tuesday and Thursday. Your final grade is based on the total scores of the four tests and six compositions. Any time you have a prob1em，please come to see me in my office．My office is on the fourth floor of the building directly in front of the building we are in now．The hours are 2：00 pm on the same days as class．For Thursday you will write a composition about the story on Page 74 of the textbook．If there are no questions，that will be all for today．I will see you on Thursday. 1—5 BCCBA 6一10 ACACA 11—15 BBAAA 16--20 CBABB

One possible version：
The Water Cycle
The heat of the sun evaporates water from the oceans，seas，rivers and lakes．Water vapor is formed．This rises and forms clouds in the air．As the clouds rise，they are cooled．The higher they rise，the more they are cooled．This causes more and more water Vapor to condense．In this way，the tiny drops of water in the clouds get bigger and bigger until they are heavy enough to fall to the earth as rain．Some of rainwater sinks into the ground．Thirsty plants may use it up．Most of the water goes back to the rivers，seas and oceans．This process called the water cycle then starts all over again．
