A
The shocking disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 has captured the attention of millions around the world as the search for the airplane and its passengers and crew continues. What happened to the flight's 239 passengers and crew after the plane left Kuala Lumpur on Saturday? It is becoming an increasingly desperate question as the days pass.
But it's hardly the first mystery of its kind. Here are some half-solved and unsolved airline mysteries that kept investigators clueless for years.
Air France Flight 447: An Airbus A330 flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris plunged into the Atlantic Ocean in 2009, killing all 228 passengers and crew on board. But it took a full five days for search and rescue teams to find the wreckage(残骸) and another three years for investigators to report that ice crystals had caused the autopilot to disconnect. The bodies of 74 passengers remain unrecovered.
Amelia Earhart: Ace(王牌) pilot Amelia Earhart disappeared in her twin-engine monoplane Electra over the Pacific Ocean in 1937 in an attempt to circumnavigate the globe. No trace of her plane was ever found even after a multi-million dollar search effort, and Earhart was officially declared dead in 1939.
Flying Tiger Line Flight 739: A U.S. military flight left Guam in 1962 with more 90 personnel headed for the Philippines, but it never arrived. The pilots never issued a distress call, and 1,300 people involved in the U.S. military search never found any trace of wreckage.
British South American Airways: It took more than 50 years to find any trace of the 11 people aboard a 1947 flight that disappeared in the Andes Mountains. A pair of Argentinian rock climbers discovered engine wreckage in the Andes in 1998, and an army expedition later found human remains as well.
Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571: A flight headed for Santiago, Chile carrying 45 passengers and crew crashed into the Andes Mountains in poor weather in 1972, killing twelve people. In the meantime, eight were killed in an avalanche(雪崩) that hit the plane's wreckage where they were taking shelter, and the rest stayed alive by eating the flesh of the dead before they were finally found more than two months after disappearing out of the sky.
36. What can we learn from Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571?
A. 12 people were lost until now.
B. 25 people were rescued instantly.
C. The rest who stayed alive killed 8 people.
D. 8 were killed by a fall of a large mass of snow down a mountainside.
37. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Earhart was declared dead by the authorities two years later.
B. The bodies of Flight 447 had all been found after three years.
C. Two Argentinian rock climbers discovered the dead in the Andes.
D. Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 was regarded as the largest air crash.
38. The passage has been written to .
A. introduce the loss of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370
B. explain how to avoid airplane disappearances as a pilot
C. tell readers mysterious airplane disappearances in Aviation History
D. call on people to protect themselves
B
Massachusetts today looks nothing like it did when the first English settlers arrived. Back in the 17th century, forest blanketed the land. Today, roads and towns cover much of the area. But the past is not dead and gone. Just an hour's drive from Boston lies Plymouth Plantation.
There you'll experience the 17th century life from the days of the Pilgrims(清教徒移民). You can look in the Pilgrims' homes, watch the way they cook, and ask them about their daily life. You can even help them build houses or work in the fields.
When you arrive at Plymouth, you are greeted with "How do you fare?" instead of "How are you?" In this living history plantation, actors portray(展现) real people of 17th century in Plymouth. Each actor has taken the identity of someone from that period.
All the actors speak the language of Shakespeare. They're happy to talk about the hardships of their lives or just share the gossip of the day. But don't try to discuss modern topics. They won't understand what you are talking about!
In fall, you can enjoy a harvest dinner very similar to the First Thanksgiving. You'll dine with your hands like Pilgrims. You'll find no pepper(胡椒粉) on the table. This expensive spice was used very sparingly(节俭地) in cooking. You'll find no last-course "dessert", either. At the time, people ate sweet dishes right along with the meal.
Cranberries were on the menu then and still are today. A short distance from Plymouth, you can visit Cranberry World. At this unique museum, you'll see how cranberries are harvested and can taste different cranberry products.
Of course, the First Thanksgiving included not only the Pilgrims, but also their Wampanoag guests. If you want to find out something about the Wampanoag, explore the recreated Wampanoag Homesite. It is just a short walk from Plymouth. Step into the Native American home and enter a different world. Native Americans
dressed in 17th century Wampanoag outfits(全套服装) describe how their people lived 400 years ago. Outside, you can help make traditional boat or learn about native plant remedies.
Much in Massachusetts has changed since the 17th century. But in Plymouth, the past lives on.
39. What do you know about Plymouth Plantation?
A. It is a cranberry plantation in Plymouth.
B. It is where some old Pilgrims are still living.
C. It presents the Pilgrims' lives in the 1600s.
D. It is a plantation dating back to the 1700s.
40. What can tourists do in Cranberry World?
A. Harvest cranberries by yourself.
B. Learn how to grow cranberries.
C. Taste various cranberry products.
D. Visit an old history museum.
41. The purpose of the rebuilt of Wampanoag Homesite is to .
A. protect Native Americans, the Wampanoag
B. attract more tourists to stay in Plymouth
C. show how the Wampanoag helped the Pilgrims
D. keep the 17th century Native Americans' life alive
42. What is the best title for the passage?
A. An Interesting Journey to Plymouth
B. The Life of the Pilgrims
C. A Journey to Plymouth's Past
D. Life in the 17th Century
C
The general Allotment Act, passed in 1887 by the United States Congress, was expected to help Native Americans. The Act called for breaking up tribal reservations(部落居留地) and turning them into family-sized farms. Each farm would be given to an individual Native American.
The government thought that Native Americans would be better off if they forgot their tribal organizations and their tribal languages. The government expected Native Americans who owned land and farmed for a living to become more like other Americans. But it didn't work out that way. The Native Americans were used to living in tribal groups and sharing with each other. They had always thought of land as something that belonged to the whole tribe, rather than to individuals.
With their families scattered on separate farms, many Native Americans were dissatisfied. The land they were given was often poor, and they hadn't the skill to farm it well. Poverty and poor health increased, while the Native American stuck to their old languages and customs. Eventually the government realized that the division of reservation land had made things worse rather than better for Native Americans.
The Indian Reorganization Act, passed in 1943, reversed the government's policy. This Act said that all Native American land should be owned by tribes, rather than by individuals. The new Act encouraged tribal
organizations to take responsibility for running tribal affairs. The Act also provided money, which tribes could borrow to buy more land or to start business.
Economic conditions have improved for Native Americans. Many tribes run successful manufacturing, mineral leasing, hotels and gambling business. Yet problems of unemployment and poor health still exist. Today Native Americans face a double challenge. They must continue to improve their economic and political position, while at the same time preserving their lands and cultural heritage.
43. Why did the government want Native Americans to own land and farm for a living?
A. It thought this would make Native Americans more like other Americans.
B. It wanted to see if individual Native Americans would drop out of school.
C. It wanted to see whether matters could become worse on the reservation.
D. It thought all the land and farm should belong to Native Americans.
44. Though it is not directly stated, the article suggests that .
A. most people who owned land and farmed it were Native Americans
B. Native Americans were used to living on separate farms
C. the government did not quite understand Native American ways
D. the customs of the Native Americans were harmful and uncivilized
45. On the whole, the article tells us about .
A. the good land that was given to Native Americans
B. the government's effort to help that didn't work out
C. helping Native Americans on their reservations
D. breaking away from old customs of Native Americans
46. Which statement does this article lead you to believe?
A. The government wanted to break up family farms.
B. Native Americans are very hard to deal with.
C. New customs are always better than old ones.
D. Old customs usually influence modern life.
D
Sure, it's good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.
And yes, it's good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it's smart to learn how to relate to the different types of people you'll meet throughout your life.
But really, there's one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, "learning bursts right open," says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post Newspaper.
In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they're more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems , such as problems with learning or school issues, such as bullying(欺负人).
As a kid in a primary or middle school, you're at a wonderful stage in your life. You're like a sponge(海绵), able to soak up lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you're able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, and in most cases, is very excited to be the person who's giving you all that material and helping you put it together. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if you're open to what they're teaching you. That's why they wanted to be teachers in the first place—to teach!
Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive(敏感的) to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things aren't going well, they won't learn as well and won't enjoy being in class.
47. In the passage, the author mainly talks about .
A. how to get along well with teachers
B. the importance of a good relation with teachers
C. how much the students are expected of to get along with teachers
D. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant
48. "learning bursts right open" in the third paragraph really means .
A. learning becomes easier for you at once
B. you find an opening to learning
C. there'll be more problems with learning
D. there'll be no problems with learning
49. According to the passage, which of the following offers the best reasoning?
A. You are getting on well with your teachers, so you have more questions than others.
B. You find it comfortable to ask questions, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.
C. You have a good relationship with your teacher, so you can turn to him/her when in trouble.
D. You are in trouble, so you can build a good relationship with teachers.
50. Which of the comments in FALSE on teachers and their work according to the passage?
A. Teachers are excited even if you wouldn't like to accept their teaching.
B. Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do.
C. Though few, there are still some students who can learn even if they don't like the teacher.
D. Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies.

A Brief History of Slavery
It is said that the first known slaves lived more than five thousand years ago in the Sumerian society of what is now Iraq. 51. It expanded as trade and industry increased. This increase created a demand for the labor force to produce goods for export. Slaves did most of the work. Most ancient people thought of slavery as a natural condition that could happen to anyone at any time.
52. Sugar was one of these things. Italians set up large sugar farms around the twelfth century. They used slaves from Russia and other parts of Europe to do the work. By the year of thirteen hundred, African blacks had begun to replace the Russian slaves. They were bought or caught from North African Arabs, who used them as slaves for years.
By the 1500s, Spain and Portugal got American colonies(殖民地). The Europeans forced native Indians to work in large farms and mines in the colonies. 53. So the Spanish and the Portuguese began to bring in people from West Africa as slaves. France, Britain and the Netherlands did the same in their American colonies.
54. That was not true in the early years of the American nation. Many Americans thought slavery was necessary. Yet owning slaves was common among rich people in the early 1700s.
55. One example is the famous American diplomat (外交家), inventor and businessman Benjamin Franklin. He owned slaves for thirty years and sold them at his general store. But his ideas about slavery changed during his long life. Benjamin Franklin started the first schools to teach blacks and later argued for their freedom.
A. Today, most people in the world see slavery as unfair.
B. Most of the Indians died from European diseases and poor treatment.
C. People who were rich enough to own many slaves became leaders in their local areas.
D. In later times, slaves provided the labor needed to produce products that were in demand.
E. Many of the leaders in the colonies who fought for American independence owned slaves.
F. Slavery also existed among people in China, India, Africa, the Middle East and the Americas.
G. By 1750, almost twenty-five percent of the total number of people in the American colonies were black slaves.
