AWhile we are on the subject of crime, our listener question this week comes from Mohamad Firouzi in Iran. He wants to know about the history of Alcatraz Island and the prison that once operated there.Alcatraz Island is in the harbor of San Francisco, California. It is best known for being a federal prison, which was also called “The Rock.” It was once the most famous prison in America. Alcatraz was a military prison from the late eighteen fifties until the nineteen thirties. Then it became a federal prison for the country’s worst criminals. These included murderers, bank robbers and kidnappers. One of the main reasons federal officials chose Alcatraz Island to detain these prisoners was because they thought it would be impossible for prisoners to escape.Cold, deep and dangerous waters surround the island. Also, the distance between the island and San Francisco is too far for most humans to swim. No prisoner was ever officially reported to have successfully escaped.However, in nineteen sixty-two, three men broke out of the prison. Each man worked very hard at night for many months to cut through the stone wall of his cell. They made false heads out of paper, paint and hair. On the night of June eleventh, the men placed the heads in their beds to make it look as if they were sleeping. Then, the prisoners escaped through the holes in their cells to get to the water. The men were never seen or heard from again. It is believed that they drowned while trying to swim to San Francisco.The prison closed in nineteen sixty-three because of the high cost of keeping prisoners there and the need for major repairs. The last prisoners were moved to other jails.In nineteen seventy-two, the United States Congress passed a bill creating the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Alcatraz Island and the old prison are part of this area.Each year, more than one million people visit Alcatraz to see the prison ers’ cells and listen to stories about the jail’s history. But unlike the prisoners who once lived there, visitors can escape from the prison whenever they want and return back across the harbor to San Francisco.21. The text mainly tells us________.A. about the history of Alcatraz Island and the prison there.B. about the history of Alcatraz Island.C. about a military prison.D. about the subject of crime.22. Why did federal officials make Alcatraz the most famous prison in America?A. Because no prisoner successfully escaped from the prison.B. Because Alcatraz was Alcatraz Island.C. Because Alcatraz was a military prison.D. Because cold, deep and dangerous waters surround the island.23. Paragraph 5 is written to ________.A. tell us the three prisoners escaped the prison.B. prove prisoners couldn’t successfully escape from the prison.C. tell us how prisoners escaped the prison.D. tell us the three prisoners could make false heads out of paper, paint and hair.24. Now Alcatraz ________.A. is a place of interest.B. detains some prisoners.C. is where the United States Congress is.D. is still the most famous prison.BLast Thursday, I had the pleasure of visiting with Deputy Superintendent Pedro Martinez, Principal Neddy Alvarez and her staff at Western High School, located in the Clark County School District, in Las Vegas. The school undertook a comprehensive effort to completely transform the culture of the school and added a motivated group of talented teachers. Western altered(改变)the school day to add opportunities for students to get additional credits toward graduation and created smaller learning groups. As part of these comprehensive changes, the school’s leadership also focused on four main reforms to transform their school.First, improvements started with the change in the relationship between the school and students to create a caring atmosphere at the school. Using the “Capturing Kids’ Hearts” strategies, school leadership and teachers began building a trusting environment and students and families described seeing changes aimed at improving student outcomes and ensuring the success of every student. The school day was altered to add more options for students to obtain additional credits toward graduation. Students and teachers were grou ped into “houses,” so that smaller groups of teachers and counselors(辅导员)could create one-on-one relationships with students. Teachers and counselors said that the altered school day provides time to address student’s individual concerns and develop individualized learning plans to put every student on a path to graduation.The school also made changes to encourage parents to support school and encourage real dialogues between parents and the teachers and leaders at Western. Funded in part through the United Way, the school created a family engagement center to get parents more involved in their children’s education, particularly parents of English language learners. Parents like Ally Gaona and Martha Mendez told me that they had a voice and the tools to eng age in their children’s learning and that they recognize that the main responsibility for their children’s learning must rest with the parents. Parents were passionate about these positive changes and said that these changes signaled to the entire the community that the school was serious about family engagement.25. What is the main purpose of the passage?A.To attract people to the school.B. To talk about the school reforms.C. To introduce the schoolD. To introduce the relationship between the school and students.26. How many main reforms are mentioned in the passage?A. TwoB. ThreeC. FourD. Five27. Students and teachers were grouped into “houses in order to ___.A. provide time to address student’s individual concerns.B. add more options for students to obtain additional credits toward graduation..C. create one-on-one relationships with students.D. develop individualized learning plans to put every student on a path to graduation.28. Which statement is the right according to the passage?A. Parents didn’t support the reforms.B. The reforms intended to improve student outcomes and ensure the success of every student.C. The school asked parents to donate their money.D. the school was not serious about family engagement.CBEIJING - China will build a nation-wide network within three to five years to monitor the impact of air pollution on health, a latest step to deal with a persistent smog crisis in big cities, an official said.A total of 43 monitoring spots will be set up in 16 provinces and municipalities frequently engulfed by smog so as to facilitate research on air pollutants in different regions, the impact on the health of vulnerable groups and the study of related diseases, said Xu Dongqun, an official with the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention.With funds allocated by the central government, the study will provide reference for preventive efforts to reduce the PM 2.5, Xu said. Thick and dangerous smog have hit 17 provinces and municipalities with a population of 600 million this year. One of the major cities is Beijing, which has been shrouded in smog for several days during the ongoing seven-day national holiday in 2013.China recently issued a 1.75 trillion-yuan (284.2 billion U.S. dollars) plan to deal with the worsening air, improving air quality within five years in order to decrease the number of heavily polluted days and improve the air in major city clusters.29. China will build a nation-wide network in order to_________.A. monitor the impact of air pollution on healthB. improve air qualityC. improve air pollutionD. increase the PM 2.530. The underlined word “persistent” means“________”.A. 短时的B. 持久的C. 短暂的D. 停留的31. China will take measures to deal with air pollution except________.A. China recently issued a 1.75 trillion-yuan (284.2 billion U.S. dollars) planB. set up monitoring spots in 16 provinces and municipalitiesC. improve living standardD. improve the air in major city clusters32. We can infer from the paragraph________.A. Thick and dangerous smog have hit 17 provinces and municipalitiesB. air pollution impacted a population of 600 million this yearC. The people in Beijing probably wore masks when they walked on the street during the national holiday in 2013.D. the study will provide reference for preventive efforts to reduce the PM 2.5DA time capsule buried by Apple founder Steve Jobs 30 years ago has been discovered after its location was long forgotten. In 1983, the young tech innovator was attending a conference in Aspen when he and the group decided to bury as a stunt during a design convention.The tube that was filled with an eclectic collection of goods- ranging from the then-new apple mouse to a six-pack of beer for the people who discovered the time capsule- was meant to be dug up 20 years later. There was a problem with that plan, however, as everyone involved forgot where it was buried.The final discovery happened at the hands of the crew from the National Geographic Channel`s reality show called Diggers. The discovery was well documented and is surely going to be featured on an upcoming episode, and even the experts had problems finding this particular treasure. CNET reports that in spite of their preparations and clear idea of where the 13-foot-long tube was, it still took them two hours to dig it up using heavy machinery.To anyone removed from the tech industry, the accomplishment in finding the tube appears to be the biggest accomplishment.To others, the most interesting object would likely be the `Lisa` mouse placed in the tube by the hands of a then-28-year-old Jobs. The Lisa Mouse, which Jobs named after his daughter, was one of the first commercial computer mice soled publicly, making it a rarity at the time.The Aspen Historical Society is going to help the show creators catalogue the tube`s contents- but no word yet whether or not the Diggers cracked open one of the six bottles of Boddington`s Ale that was left inside for the people who found the tube.33.Who found the time capsule buried by Steve Jobs?A. Apple founder Steve Jobs himself.B. the crew from the National Geographic Channel`s reality show called Diggers.C. Steve Jobs' friends.D. Steve Jobs’ daughter.34.Which is the best title of the passage ?A. A time capsule buried by Apple founder Steve Jobs.B. Steve Jobs' plan.C. Steve Jobs' time capsule is uncovered.D. The tube by Steve Jobs.35.How old is Steve Jobs now?A. 58 years old.B. 20 years old.C. 30 years old.D. 48 years old.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Each passage is followed b y several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the inform ation given in the passage.AConfucius said , “In a group of three people, there is always so mething I can learn, Choose to follow the strengths of others, a nd use their shortcomings to reflect upon ourselves."As you can see from what Confucius said, everyone that we c ome across can teach us something useful. As long as we refle ct on the lessons learnt from and by other people, we can conti nuously improve ourselves. But take note that when you reflect on these lessons, you apply some wisdom to each lesson beca use each situation is unique although they share some common principles.We can learn a lot from others . We always tend to think that we can only learn from those who are higher in status or havemore knowledge than us, but that is not really the case. We can learn from those who are lower in status than us as well, becau se the experience and knowledge of each person is very differe nt.The best thing about this type of learning, reflecting other pe ople's strengths and shortcomings onto ourselves, is that we do not pay for the mistakes that are made. The only cost to us is t he time that is needed to learn about and reflect on these lesso ns from other people' s lives.As we all know, some mistakes can be ones which people ca nnot afford to make, for instance, a broken friendship or a finan cial loss. Thus constantly using other people' s strengths and s hortcomings to reflect upon ourselves makes us realize the cost s of these mistakes and reduces the possibility that we will mak e similar mistakes.What can we do now to learn from others? By keeping our ey es and ears open. Be observant and able to realize what stren gths and shortcomings other people have. A lot of people in this world like to complain about their lives. Listen to them and mak e your own assessment ( 评估) and from your own assessment, reflect upon your life and make improvements where necessary.56. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. Confucius thought we should learn from othersB. It is by reflecting on the lessons learnt by others that we can i mprove ourselves.C. Only from those who have more knowledge than us can we l earn.D. Reflecting upon other people's strengths and shortcomings c an help us make fewer mistakes.57. The underlined part "this type of learning" in the fourth para graph probably refers toA. learning from other people’s mistakesB. learning from others' experiencesC. finding what strengths and shortcomings other people haveD. reflecting others' strengths and shortcomings onto ourselves58. From the fifth paragraph, we learn that__A. sometimes we can afford the costs of a broken friendshipB. our reflection will necessarily reduce our mistakesC. some reflection will help to improve ourselves.D. reflection will stop us from making any mistake s in life59. The passage is probably taken from_______.A. a magazine about lifeB. a book about travelC. an advertisementD. a research report60. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. How to improve oneself.B. How to use the shortcomings of others to reflect upon oursel ves.C. How to learn from other people's strengths and shortcomings .D. How to reduce the mistakes in one' s life.BThe Pacific island nation of used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. 's heartbreaking story could hav e one good consequence—other countries might learn from its mistakes.For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived on the remote of , far from western civilization, the first European to arrive wa s John Feam in 1798. He was the British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship, He called the island Pleasant Island. However, because it was very remote, had little communication with Europeans at first. Then whaling ships and other traders b egan to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destro yed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island.A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.Nauru's real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining com pany discovered phosphate(磷酸盐) on the island. In fact, it found that the of was nearly all pho sphate, which is a very important fertilizer for fanning. The com pany began mining the phosphate.A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil Then u takes away the m aterial it wants. Strip-mining totally destroys die land. Gradually, the lovely of starte d to look like the moon.In 1968, became one of the richest countries in the world. Ever y year the government received millions and millions of dollars f or its phosphateUnfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and los t millions of dollars. In addition, they used millions more dollars f or personal expenses. Soon people realized dial they had a terr ible problem—their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, was almost financially ruined. Experts say that it would take approximately $43 3,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair the island. This will probably never happen.61 What might be the author's purpose in writing the text?A. To seek help for 's problems.B. To give a warning to other countries.C. To show the importance of money.D. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.62. What was like before the Europeans came?A. Rich and powerful.B. Modem and open.C. Peaceful and attractive.D. Greedy and aggressive.63. The ecological disaster in resulted from______ .A. soil pollutionB. phosphate overminingC. farming activityD. whale hunting64.Which of the following was a cause of 's financial problem?A. Its leaders misused the money.B. It spent too much repairing the island.C. Its phosphate mining cost much money.D. It lost millions of dollars in the civil war.65. What can we learn about from the last paragraph?A. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.B. The leaders will take the experts' words seriously.C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans.D. The phosphate mines were destroyed.CNow and then I have tested my seeing friends to discover what they see. Recently I was visited by a very good friend who had j ust returned from a long walk in the woods, and I asked her wh at she had observed. “Nothing in particular,” she replied. But f or long I have been accustomed to such responses, and becam e convinced that the_seeing_see_little.How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour through the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I — who cannot se e, find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. I f eel the delicate symmetry(对称) of a leaf. I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch(银桦树), or the rough bark of a pine. In spring I touch the branches o f trees hopefully in search of a bud, the first sign of awakening n ature after her winter's sleep. I feel the delightful, smooth texture of a flower, and discover its remarkable swirl(旋动); and something of the miracle of nature is revealed to me. O ccasionally, if I am very fortunate, I place my hand gently in a s mall tree and feel the happiness of a bird in full song. I am delig hted to have cool waters of a stream rush through my open fing ers. To me a rich carpet of pine needles or spongy grass is mor e welcome than the most luxurious Persian rug(波斯毛毯). To me the circle of seasons is a thrilling and unending dra ma, the action of which streams through my finger tips. At times my heart cries out with longing to see all these things. If I can g et so much pleasure from mere touch, how much more beauty must be revealed by sight. Yet, those who have eyes apparentl y see little. The whole picture of color and action filling the world is taken for granted. It is human, perhaps, to appreciate little th at which we have and to long for that which we have not, but it i s a great pity that in the world of light and the gift of sight is use d only as mere convenience rather that as a means of adding fu llness to life.66. What does the author imply by the underlined sentence in P aragraph 1?A. If one is always using his eyes, he would have poor eyesight.B. The sighted people sometimes fail to discover beautiful thing s.C. The blind people see no less than the sighted ones.D. When one tries to see, he always sees nothing.67. What can we know about the author according to the passa ge?A. She was blind.B. She was content with her situation now.C. She thought the gift of sight a great pity.D. She acquired information and knowledge only through touch.68. Which of the following is NOT an example given to show ho w the nature interests the author?A. The delicate symmetry (对称) of a leaf.B. The delightful, smooth texture of a flower.C. The happiness of a bird in full song.D. The most luxurious Persian rug.69. What does the author think is the reason why sighted people fail to discover the beauty of nature?A. That they long for that which they have not.B. That what they have is usually taken for granted.C. That the gift of sight is a means of adding fullness to life.D. That mere touch is the best way to discover and feel.70. What is the passage mainly about?A. It tries to prove that the seeing see little.B. It describes how wonderful the nature is.C. It tells people to protect their eyesight.D. It expresses some thoughts on feeling beauty and sight. PART FOUR WRITING (45’)SECTION A (10’)Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THA N 3 WORDS for each answer.With all kinds of toothbrush and toothpaste ads everywhere, pe ople have come to realize the importance of protecting teeth. "T here is no decayed tooth(龋齿) for young children" has become the goal of all parents. Bad teeth may cause a lot of pain or even death. Infections of gums (牙龈) and teeth can release bacteria into the blood system. Those bacteria can increase the chances of a heart attack or stroke a nd worsen the effects of other disease.Experts at the National Institutes of Health say good dental care starts at birth. They say breast milk is the best food for the heal thy development of teeth. Breast milk can help slow bacterial gr owth and acid production in the mouth. But dentists say you should clean your baby's gums and early teeth after each feeding. Use a cloth with a little warm water.When baby teeth begin to appear, you can clean them with a w et toothbrush. Dentists say it is important to find soft toothbrush es specially made for babies. And use them very gently. The us e of fluoride (氟化物) to protect teeth is common in many parts of the world. This natural element is often added to drinking water supplies. The fl uoride mixes with enamel (牙釉质), the hard surface on teeth, to help prevent holes from formin g.But young children often swallow toothpaste when they brush. The of Pediatric Dentistry notes that swallowin g fluoridated toothpaste can cause problems. So young children should be carefully supervised when they brush their teeth. An d only a small amount of fluoridated toothpaste, the size of a gr een pea, should be used.Parents often wonder about what effect thumb sucking or sucki ng on a pacifier (橡皮奶嘴) might have on their baby's teeth. Dental experts generally a gree that this isfine early in life. The of Family Physicians says most kids stop sucking their thumbs by the age of four. If it continues, the group advises parents to talk to their child's dentist or doctor. It coul d interfere with the correct development of permanent teeth. Dentists say babies should be examined when their first teeth a ppear --- usually at around six months. Healthy teeth are meant to last a lifetime. If parents pay attention to the above tips, young child ren’s teeth growing can be good and healthy.Title: How to Protect 71. _______________Section B (10 marks)Directions:Read the following passage.

Reading these facts about him may l ead to the opinion that he had a great childhood. However, behi nd all of these is a past that would be terrible for many kids gro wing up.It started when he was only two years old. His parents divorced and then remarried. Going through elementary school and midd le school, he was frightened a lot. This may have led to the wor st thing that could have happened to a young man.He developed deep depression. Doing the smart thing, he talke d to his parents about his problem. His parents decided that this issue was very serious and Jacob was admitted to . He staye d there for two weeks and had his depression diagnosed. Serio us insomnia caused the problem.The solution was daily medication. The medication took care of Jacob's depression problem. However, it contained a substance with lithium(锂). The side effect he suffered from lithium was th at he got spoonfuls of sugar and ate it with anything else that w as on his plate.

连云港市高三英语阅读理解调研测试题
连云港市高三英语阅读理解调研测试题A Arabwe was a strange name for a battleship, but the name was fitting, for the Arabwe was a strange battleship. This ship was the only American naval vessel that fought its only battle on dry land. The Arabwe was built in the 1860s but never saw action until many years later, when it was traveling along the coast of Chile.The Arabwe’s adventure began one day when a massive underwater earthquake occurred right off the coast. Gigantic waves heaved the ship up on dry land, where it was grounded along with several other boats. The Arabwe looked helpless and was tempting bait for looters who came on the scene to plunder the shipwrecked boats. When the robbers tried to climb aboard the ship, the crew beat them off with much difficulty. When the looters banded together again for an all-out assault on the ship, the crew knew they were in trouble.Captain Alexander of the Arabwe ordered the gun crew to load the cannon. However, the sailors were unable to reach the cannonballs, which were stored below in the twisted wreckage. Faced with this dilemma, the Captain thought of a substitute for thecannonballs. He ordered the sailors to bring up a basket of hard round cheeses from the kitchen.When the mob charged at the ship, Captain Alexander ordered the cannons to be fired. Balls of cheese knocked over some of the bandits, and when another cheese round was fired, the mob retreated wildly. After this victory, the Arabwe was safe, but it never made it back to sea. It was gallantly listed in the Navy’s records as “lost in action.”1. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The Arabwe fought an unusual battle.B. The Arabwe fought its only battle on land by firing cheese from cannons.C. The Arabwe was grounded along with some other ships.D. Arabwe was a strange name for a battleship.2. Where was the Arabwe grounded?A. In Cuba.B. In Florida.C. In Chile.D. In Brazil.3. What does the underlined word dilemma mean?A. Problem.B. Puzzle.C. Mystery.D. Crime.4. Using cheese instead of cannonballs was ______.A. expensiveB. effectiveC. illegal.D. wastefulBStepping into a puddle of water is common enough, but who could ever imagine stepping into a puddle of fish? In February of 1974, Bill Tapp, an Australian rancher, witnessed a rain of fish that covered his property. How surprised he must have been when he heard the patter of fins hitting against his roof!What caused this strange occurrence? This is a question that had long puzzled ichthyologists ---- people who study fish. The answer turned out to be a combination of tornado and thunderstorm.When it is spring in the northern Hemisphere, it is fall in Australia. Throughout the autumn season, raging storms arise and rains flood the land. Whirlwinds sweep over Australia like giant vacuum cleaners, collecting seaweed, driftwood, and even schools of fish. Strong gales may carry these bits of nature for many miles before dropping them on barns, livestock, and astonished people.Although they seem unusual, fish-falls occur quite frequently in Australia’s Northern Territory. When Rancher Bill Tapp was asked to describe the deluge of fish, he casually remarked, “They look like perch.” His statement is not surprising. The wonders of the natural world are common as rain. Nature, with its infinite mysteries, can create waterfalls that flowupward and fish that fall out of the sky.5. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Natural weather conditions often cause strange occurrences.B. A combination of tornadoes and thunderstorms in Australia can produce a rain of fish.C. Fish-falls occur during the Australian autumn season.D. Bill Tapp’s house was covered with many fish.6. Fish-falls occur in Australia ______.A. on large ranchesB. only in the winterC. quite oftenD. when the air is calm7. What does the underlined word infinite mean?A. Complex.B. Varied.C. Countless.D. Dangerous.8. What conclusion can you draw from this passage?A. The seasons in the Southern Hemisphere are opposite.B. One should watch where one steps.C. The natural world is full of surprises.D. Ichthyologists are tireless workers.CSoccer is an extremely sport through most of the world. However, as with anything that people feel intensely about, emotions sometimes get out of hand.English fans have been known for brawling in the stands. A riot in a game between Argentina and Chile in 1964 resulted in the deaths of 309 people. But up until now at least, there has only been one out-and-out soccer war.That war took place between El Salvador and Honduras, two Central American countries. The year was 1969, and for many years the Salvadoran economy had been in a dire condition: too many people with too little land and too few jobs created a situation of severe poverty. As a result, many desperate Salvadorans had been illegally crossing into Honduras looking for work, and they harbored a strong sense that they were mistreated there. So tensions were already very high at the beginning of a World Cup qualifying match between the two countries.The first game of the three-game play-off was held in Honduras, and the home team eked out a 1-0 win in the last minute of play. Fighting broke out afterward in the streets, and the stadium was set on fire. The second game was played in El Salvador, and the El Salvador team won. More rioting and fires followed. By the time the third game was played, in Mexico City, and actual military encounter appearedinevitable. And that is exactly what happened. Immediately after El Salvador’s cl ose victory, armies began skirmishing along the border of the two countries; then El Salvador invaded Honduras and bombed its airfields. The war was over in less than a week, but ill feelings between the two countries persisted for years afterward.9. What is the best title for this passage?A. Three Deadly DaysB. Worth a War?C. Support the Home TeamD. Winners and Losers10. How many games did the two teams play?A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.11. What does the underlined word dire mean?A. Terrible.B. Unnecessary.C. Angry.D. Without rain.12. The author of this passage seems to suggest that ______.A. soccer fans have no self-controlB. the Salvadorans and Hondurans were fighting about more than soccer.C. it is a better idea to have one play-off game than a series.D. neither team was particularly talented.DSome organisms, such as salamanders(火蜥蜴) and lobsters, can regenerate limbs they have lost, This means they can regrow a foot, a tail, or any other part of the body that has been cut or broken off. Although human cells are incapable of this, the human body is wonderfully resilient(有复原力的) in other ways. For one thing, it can withstand strong blows and still maintain its ability to function. The amazing recovery of Phineas Gage is a case in point.Phineas P. Gage, who was employed by the Rutland and Burlington Railroad, recovered from an injury that defied medical history. While he was doing repairs on the railroad, a stock of high-powered dynamite accidentally exploded. The terrific blast drove a three-foot-long, 13-pound iron bar into his head, destroying most of his brain.Gage was thrown by the explosion, but regained consciousness soon afterward. He even watched the doctors as they tended his wound. For several weeks Gage was disoriented and could not see through his left eye. But after a few months he was able to think clearly and return to work.Until this day, doctors have found no plausibleexplanation for this man’s recovery. They never expected Gage to survive, but he lived for several years after the accident. After Gage died, his skull was placed in the museum of the Massachusetts Medical College, where it remains as a monument to the human will to live.13. What’s this passage mainly about?A. Regeneration.B. Hineas P. Gage.C. Salamanders.D. modern medicine.14. Which detail best supports the idea that human beings are very resilient?A. A few months after the accident, Gage returned to work.B. Gage’s skull is in a museum.C. Gage was a hard worker.D. Gage could not see through his left eye.15. What does the underlined word plausible mean?A. terribleB. Magical.C. Reasonable.D. Medical.16. What can we infer from the passage?A. It takes time to recover from an accident.B. Railroad workers must be careful.C. The human will to live is powerful.D. Salamanders make good pets.E`Although most TV westerns declined to acknowledge it, many of the early cowboys who helped open up the American West were African American. Brave, talented, and resourceful, they had moved to the West either as freed slaves or as northerners seeking opportunity and adventure. According to one estimate, 25 percent of the cowboys on cattle drives north from Texas between 1866 and 1895 were black. When the era of the great trail drives ended, many continued demonstrating their prowess in rodeos (牛仔竞技表演).Bill Pickett is one of the best-known of the early black cowboys. Born in 1870, Pickett is credited with inventing the stunt (绝技) of bulldogging, or wrestling a steer(公牛) to the ground. He first demonstrated the technique in a 1904 rodeo in Cheyenne, Wyoming. It quickly became a staple in all rodeos. Pickett performed for over twenty years in the Miller’s 101 Wild West Show. He was inducted(吸收…为会员) into the Cowboy Hall of Fame in 1971.Other black cowboys are known for other skills. Jessie Stahl, also a Hall of Fame inductee, was a talented bronco (野马) rider. After once placing second in an event where he clearly was the bestcompetitor, Stahl mocked (嘲笑)the judges by riding a second bronco backward. Nat Love, a former slave from Tennessee, was famous for roping and shooting. Given the name Deadwood Dick after winning several events in a Deadwood, South Dakota, rodeo, Love later wrote an autobiography extolling (赞美) life in the saddle.
