A
Benjamin Banneker was a farmer，inventor，astronomer writer and antislavery supporter．He created the first American—built striking clock．
That fall，as usual，Benjamin rode to the nearby town for supplies．He couldn’t wait to get to the end of the road and buy the things his mother wanted．Then he could have a good talk with the folks in town．The truth was，as much as Benjamin loved his mother and father and three sisters，what he really enjoyed was talking about books or math problems or what was happening in other parts of the colonies(殖民地)．
It was a bout l0 o’clock by the sun when Benjamin arrived at a store．He ordered a bolt(一卷)of white cloth for his mother and looked around for someone to taik to．Benjamin’s heart jumped like a rabbit when he saw a friend holding a gold watch．Benjamin had always wanted to figure out how clocks and watches worked．The friend saw Benjamin and let him sit down for a good talk．Late that afternoon，Benjamin rode home，slowly．He didn’t want to harm the watch that his friend had let him borrow．That nigh after supper，Benjamin carefully laid the watch on the table and pulled the candle closer．“This is a watch，〞he said．“A man in fown lent it to me，and now I’m going to take it apart and draw the pieces．Then 1’11 put it back together again．Benjamin held his breath and gently took the back off the watch．
Every evening for a week，Benjamin sat at the table with the watch．He copied eaeh tiny wheel and pin．When the week was up，he put the pieces back togelher and returned the watch to its owner．Then Benjamin got a good night’s slee p．
The next day when the farm work was done，Benjamin went into the woods to 1ook for just the right pieces of wood．Not too old，not too dry，not too green，not too soft．
For two years，Benjamin farmed all day and worked on his wood pieces at night．In1753，two years after he had borrowed the watch，Benjamin put all the pieces together．Benjamin had made his own clock．
56．The most likely reason the author wrote the passage was to．
A．show the influence Benjamin Banneker’s family had on him
B．present reaso ns for Benjamin Banneker’s fascination with clocks
C．explain Benjamin Banneker’s reason for becoming an inventor
D．give an example of Benjamin Banneker’s strong will and intelligence
57.Benjamin especially looked forward to going to the store to .
A．avoid work on the farm B．purchase white cloth
C．meet interesring people D．show his new clock to others
58．Why did Benjamin most likely hold his breath when he took the back off the watch?
A．He feared his friend might want to get the watch back．
B．He was very nervous about taking apart a precious object.
C．He wanted to time how long it would take to finish the job．
D．He was afraid that broken watch parts would fly into his face．
B
One of the most unknown youth culture in the United States is that of high school and college runners．Not everyone who has ever been on their school’s track team is part of this culture．To be a part of this culture you need to do a lot Of running，knowing how it feels to race to exhaustion(筋疲力尽)，see no reason why any weather should keep you from running，and be a little crazy．I，myseIf，am part of this culture．I ran cross-country，which is running outside over uneven ground，for my high schoo1．I joined this culture when 1 was in ninth grade. As soon as 1 was on the team it didn’t take very long for me to become very involved and have fun running. As a freshman 1 wasn’t that fast but 1 was giving the effort．It was the effort that makes me part of the running culture．
There are a few things that set the youth culture of runners apart from the overall running culture．One of the many differences is that teen runners usually run in large groups，with a lot of conversation and fooling around．Young runners play games and talk to their friends when they run．While adults may run with a friend and have a conversation，you will rarely see twenty of them running through the woods yelling back and forth at each other．Young runners also make up a lot of games．My friends and 1 would throw balls while running and invented a game we called Shockey，which was pretty much soccer on lce.
Most of youth runners run for competition and not for fitness．Young runners want to run in races not to just lose weight like many adults．This means they run a lot faster and tougher generally．To lose weight you can just jog easily but to race you have to really push yourself and run to exhaustion．It’s a completely different style of running and that is what builds this culture .
59．The passage is mainly about .
A．the differerices between youth culture and adult culture
B．the youth running culture in American schools
C．youth culture which is mysterious to school students
D．how to become part of the culture of school runners
60．Which of the following are the differences between young runners and adult runners?
(1)Adults don’t run long distance．
(2)Adults don’t play games while running．
(3)Adults don’t push themselves to the 1imit
(4)Adults don’t run in 1arge groups．
A．(1)(2)(3) B．(1)(2)(4) C．(2)(3)(4) D. (1) (3)(4)
61．We can infer from the passage that．
A．the writer is strong--willed
B．running is exhausting and boring
C．adult running is not as good as youth running
D．adults are not as competitive as youths
62．The writer wrote the passage to．
A．criticize adult running
B．advertise his school track team
C．introduce something unknown to his readers
D．tell his readers to get involved in running

demand for water keeps increasing．Yet the amount of water on Earth stays the same．Mr．Engelman says the population in countries that lack water is growing faster than ini other parts of the world．He says population growth in these countries will continue to increase．The report says lack of water in the future may result in several problems．It may increase health problems．Lack of water often means drinking waters not safe．Mr．Engelman says there are problems all over the world because of diseases，such as cholera。

which are carried in water．Lack of water may also result in more international conflict．Countries may have to compete for water in the future．Some countries now get sixty percent of their fresh water from other countries．This is true of Egypt，the Netherlands，Cambodia，Syria，Sudan，and Iraq．And the report says lack of water would affect the ability of developing to improve their economies．This is because new industries often need a large amount of water when they are beginning．

The most important 1essons I learned at college weren’t the ones my professors taught me．Instead，1 learned unpleasant truths about things like money，socializing，and self—sufficiency(自给自足)——usually the hard way．If I could go back and give advice to my freshman self，this is what I’d say．
*Take the opportunity for a semester abroad．
If your college has a program to study for a semester or a year in another county, take
advantage of it．Yes，it will probably cost a little more，but you may never again have a chance to travel abroad for an extended period．72 There’S no better way to do that than to become completely involved in a new culture．
* 73
This isn't high school anymore，So there’s no need tO join every club under the sun to try to impress somebody．Figure out what you’re interested in and then pursue it．Colleges have radio stations，political advocacy organizations，writers’groups，and so much more．They’re a great way to meet people with similar interests，as well as to broaden your horizons．74
*Get a job，especially during the summer vacation．
75 It doesn’t work that way．Particularly in this economic climate，getting a job is 1ess about what yod know，and more about who you know．The best way to meet the people who may one day hire you is to get a job while in school，maybe in summers．You can get in the door at a company you may truly want to work for after graduation，get some valuable work experience，and even get the course credit．It’s a winning situation all around．
A．Apply for scholarships and grants(津贴)．
B．What 1 wish I’d known about college．
C．Get involved with student organizations．
D．If your college lacks the group you’d like to join，go ahead and start it yourself．E．Some college graduates expect to have their choice of job offers immediately after they graduate．
F．If you’re interested in your major，you won’t have much trouble earning good grades in those courses．
G．College should be more than learning about facts and figures——it should be a chance to educate yourself about the world you live in．
