34、re moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach.

35、ntly throwing it into the ocean.As he got closer he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?”The young man paused, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish in the ocean.” “I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean?” “The sun is up and the tide is going out, and i

36、f I dont throw them in theyll die.”“But, young man, dont you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it.

41、re sometimes stupid D. young people are actually wiser than old people CWhy should I teach my children history? That sounds like a stupid question to even ask. But, as I hear different home schooling teachers discuss history, I get the idea that there may be different reasons for teaching history. L

42、et me briefly explain the three good reasons for studying history and two bad reasons for studying history. The major reason I see for studying history is that we can learn from the past. I am convinced that the world would be a much better place if more people understood the successes and failures

43、of the past and the things that made these successes and failures. However, as the unfortunately true statement goes the one thing we seem to learn from history is that we dont seem to learn from history. Perhaps at least in teaching history to my children I can do a small part in changing this. A s

44、econd major reason for studying history is that it is hard to understand the current political climate in the absence of an understanding of its historical context. We cannot even understand why we are and where we are without history, much less (更不必说) try to figure out where we are going or how we

45、should get where we want to be. I teach my children history, for one more reason. I purchased a set of historical audio (录音机) tapes for our children. My seven-year-old son listened to them over and over. It was my hope that he would become inspired by the accomplishments of people like the Wright br

46、others to accomplish things by himself. I think that it is good that we celebrate the accomplishments of people like Martin Luther King Jr. if, in doing so, young people are called on to stand for the principles that he stood for and accomplish what he accomplished. I also think that by studying peo

47、ple like Adolph Hitler, people can learn to stand against the things that he stood for.63. What message can we get from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2? A. Many people arent clever enough to learn well from the past. B. Many people fail to make good use of history and make the same mistakes.

48、C. Many people feel it hard to understand history. D. Many people have no interest in studying history.64. In Paragraph 3, the author shows that history is useful because _. A. it makes the current political situation go smoothly B. it helps us realize the importance of historical events C. it helps

49、 us understand why things are the way they are D. it helps people accept the present situation where they live65. What would be talked about in the following paragraph? A. How to teach history effectively. B. Some negative reasons for studying history. C. How to get more people to study history. D.

50、Some bad historical figures.66. The main purpose of this passage is to _.A. inspire the parents to teach their children history B. show the importance of history in politicsC. explain the reasons why children study history D. introduce the writers own way of teaching historyDDuring his life Dr James

53、e up with his idea. The “birth of basketball” is said to be on December 21, 1891, when two teams from the school played the first game. It was quite different from the basketball games of today. It had 9 players on each team and footballs were used instead of basketballs. Soon after, the game change

54、d to 5 players on each side, using special “basketballs” through nets. Although Dr Naismith did not live to see basketball become the worldwide game it is today, in 1936, just three years before his death, basketball became an Olympic sport at the Games in Berlin. 67. Which of the following things d

55、id Dr James Naismith NOT do? A. Teach P.E in school. B. Write some books. C. Work at a hospital. D. Take part in the Olympic Games. 68. In which season did Dr Naismith invent basketball? A. Summer. B. Winter. C. Spring. D. Autumn. 69. Why is December 21 thought to be the birthday of basketball? A. I
