9、上。 A Crime in the city of Clio hit a 30-year low last year. This is absolutely wonderful for our citizens, our businesses, and our visitors, said Police Chief Louis Gates. Clio has a population of 28,000, but it has at least 30 gangs. The gangs make most of their money from dealing drugs and offerin

10、g protection. They also commit violent crimes, such as murder, battery, and rape. There were 1,486 thefts last year. Most of the thefts involved cars. Thieves also robbed the people at gunpoint or pickpocketed them. They broke into houses and businesses at the alarming rate of two a day two years ag

11、o, but that rate was down to only one a day last year. Thats a 50-percent decrease in one year, beamed Gates. I think the officers deserve a big pat on the back. Even better, maybe theyll get that 10-percent raise that they are all hoping for next fiscal year. Citing an example of how the police for

12、ce has helped reduce crime, Gates talked about bicycle thefts. For years and years, kids were locking up their bikes at bike stands in front of schools, libraries, and malls. About 10 percent of the time, the kids would come out of the school or wherever and discover that their bike was no longer th

13、ere. Someone had cut the lock and stolen their bike. We wracked our brains trying to find a solution to this problem. Finally, at the beginning of last year, we hit upon it. We simply removed most of the bike stands. Then the bicycle theft rate came down quickly.Most cities in the state have similar

14、 problems. They all involve too many people, too much crime, too few police, and too little funding. These problems are part and parcel of civilization everywhere. They might diminish, but they will probably never disappear. All people can do is hope for the best and prepare for the worst.41. Which

15、kind of activity is not done by the gangs ?A. sell drugs B.environmental protection C.murder D. theft 42.

16、 the bikes C.remove the bicycle stands D.ask people not to leave their bikes outside.44. How many disadvantages are there the police are faced with?A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Six B The seal population just south of Monterey, California, is making life difficult for the surfer(冲浪者）population. There h

17、ave been several incidents in the past month of surfers being bitten or attacked by seals. Scientists think it is merely a result of overcrowding. Over the past 10 years, the seals have made their beach bigger to suit their growing population. The seal-loving activists say that the surfers should su

18、rf elsewhere. They say that the surfers are entering the seals territory and making them nervous and irritable. Sometimes, when there are too many surfers, they actually cause the seals to leave the beach. This, the activists say, frees nature lovers from the opportunity to enjoy watching and listen

19、ing to the seals. The activists argue that this area should be off limits to surfers. Surfers, of course, dont see it quite that way. They think that its good if the seals get hit in the head with a loose surfboard occasionally, because that will teach them to stay on their rocks and stay away from

20、the surfers part of the beach. They shouldnt be allowed to have their rocks and our beach, too, exclaimed a blond, tan, thin boy who refused to identify himself. All these seals think about is me, me, me! They need to learn to share. Cant someone just train them to clear out of here from about 1:00

21、to sunset? They could come back here and stay all night and all morning. That makes sense to me. The park service is going to hold a public hearing on the issue. They know its going to be a tough issue to settle, because neither the activists nor the surfers seem willing to compromise. A similar iss

22、ue in San Diego was settled in the seals favor. Surfers were prevented from using the seals area. Mysteriously, the seals eventually spared that particular area, and the surfers were allowed to return.45 .why do the seals begin to bite and attack surfers according to the scientists?A.

The seals were cleverer than other animals. CIt is common and usual to see people freak out when they face challen

26、ges in their life. We all pass in different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere. How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building blocks of y

27、our personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your life builds or destructs you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are going to be built up

28、Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a different look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not frustrate or freak out. Just cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem has its

29、own good as well as bad sides. Focus on the good one.
