2、Finn.” First published in 1885, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is now 1 to be one of the Great American Novels. However, the book was once labeled offensive by some readers. It was even banned in schools for its 2 of the word “nigger”, which was regarded as a sign of racism . But on the contrary, th

3、e novel is in fact against 3 . In the book, Twain 4 the character of Jim, a runaway slave who convinces Huck that African-Americans are 5 the freedom, and that equality is a goal for which we all should be fighting. Ks5u Mark Twain wrote Adventures of Huckleberry Finn twenty years after the American

4、 Civil War. Slavery had been abolished, the North and South were 6 , and America regained peace. So why publish a tale about a system that was no longer in 7 ? Werent race issues a meaningless point once slavery was out of the picture? Although the Emancipation Proclamation (解放宣言) had been signed ov

5、er two decades before Huckleberry Finns original publication date, African-Americans everywhere were still 8 of oppression and racism. Freedom didnt mean equality by any means-not legally, socially, or practically. Actually, this isnt an outdated idea at all. Rules and laws often dont 9 reflect what

6、s really going on. From a legal standpoint today, we have equality of race, yet racism is still a problem. Men and women are 10 , yet many still see a “glass ceiling” for women in the workplace, meaning they often have unseen 11 to advancement. That doesnt mean laws are 12 . Laws may not immediately

7、 lead to change, but weve seen that they do 13 how people act and change the way we think. We cant rely on laws alone.

Today, US divers are working to recover what may be the biggest shipwreck treasure ever.The Florida-based company Odyssey Marine Explor

16、ation announced that it had found the Gairsoppa, and cited official documents indicating the British ship was carrying some 219 tons of silver when it sank in 1941 in the North Atlantic, some 300 miles off the Irish coast.Valued then at 600,000, the silver today is worth about $ 210 million, which w

17、ould make it historys largest recovery of precious metals lost at sea.“Weve accomplished the first stage of this project the location and identification of the target shipwreck and now were hard at work planning for the recovery stage，” Odyssey project manager Andrew Craig said.Under the terms of an

18、 agreement reached between Odyssey and the British government，the company will retain 80 percent of the silver it can recover from the wreck.The 412-foot Gairsoppa had been sailing from India back to Britain in February 1941 carrying a cargo of silver, iron and tea, when a storm hit. Running low on

19、fuel, the ship was forced to change direction and headed for Galway，Ireland，the nearest port of safety.It never made it，sunk by a German torpedo （鱼雷） in the contested waters of the North Atlantic. Of the 85 people on board，only one survived.The Gairsoppa came to rest nearly 15 ,400 feet below the su

20、rface, where for decades it was lost to the world. All previous efforts to locate the shipwreck failed.New photographs released by the Oddesy show clear details of the ship，including the hole blown open by the torpedo. The find highlights the influential role that modern technologies，such as global

21、positioning systems and deepwater robots，have come to play in the business of finding shipwrecks.Odyssey president Mark Gordon said, The majority of the worlds ocean floor has not yet been explored. We know more about the surface of the moon than we know about the deepest parts of the oceans. Its ex

22、citing to be working at depths like these and to be among the pioneers of this unexplored frontier, ”26. What caused the ship to sink?A. A dangerous storm. B. A German attack. C.

25、ea exploration?A. It is more difficult than space exploration.B. It is a very expensive activity.C. It is still in its early stage.D. It can make explorers very rich，BYou are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or a creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold a

26、nd difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(内化) your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay

27、 that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others. Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they dont let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they dont blame th

28、emselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred(神圣的) moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth. Victims and creators live in the same phys

29、ical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺) in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause othersand even themselvesto feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which

30、inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives. In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is t

31、he end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life. In every moment and every circumstance, you can ch

32、oose to have a fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are. 31.

A. seem willing to experience failures in lifeB. possess the ability to predict future lifeC. handle ups and downs of life wiselyD. have potential to create something new33.

Compared with victims, creators are more emotional. 34. The examples mentioned in Paragraph 4 show that _. A. strong attachment

35、to sufferings in life pulls people into victims B. people need family support to deal with challengers in life C. it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains D. ones experiences determine his attitude toward life 35. What is the authors purpose in writing this passage?A. To define

36、victims and creators. B. To evaluate victims against creators. C. To explain the relationship between victims and creators. D. To suggest the transformation from victims to creators. CTwo friends have an argument that breaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the w

37、hole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, “In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrib

38、le reality of violence”. Given that this is the case, why arent students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high

39、 school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult. For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violen

40、ce. The problem isnt in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution: stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person

41、 down as well. Rude words, name-calling, and accusations only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy for conflict resoluti

42、on; listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speakers position. Then the two people should change r

43、oles.Finally, students need to consider what they are hearing. This doesnt mean trying to figure out whats wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen

44、 because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid of? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesnt, careful tho

45、ught helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesnt mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, 64 percent of the teachers reported less ph

46、ysical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves. Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends,. teachers. parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict r

47、esolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.36. This article is mainly about_.A. the lives of school childrenB. the cause of arguments in schoolsC. how to analyze youth violenceD. how to deal with school conflicts37. From Paragraph 2 we can learn that_.A. viol

48、ence is more likely to occur at lunchtimeB. a small conflict can lead to violenceC. students tend to lose their temper easilyD. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight38. Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?A. To find out who to blame.B. To

51、ment in schoolsD. inform teachers of the latest studies on school violenceDThe Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological disaster area. Naurus heartbreaking story could have one good consequence other countries might learn from its mistakes.For thousands of

52、 years, Polynesian people lived the remote island of Nauru, far from western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn 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, Nauru had little communi

53、cation with Europeans at first. Then whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol. These elements destroyed 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.Naurus real troubles beg

54、an in 1899 when a British mining company discovered phosphate (磷酸盐) on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly all phosphate, which is a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining the phosphate.A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip

55、 mine. When a company strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants. Strip-mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started to look like the moon.In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the g

56、overnment received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate. Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars.
