A

On May 29, 1973, Thomas Bradley, a black man, was elected mayor of Los Angeles. Los Angeles is the third largest city in the United States, with a population of three million. About sixteen percent of the city’s population are black .

News of this election appeared on the front pages of newspapers everywhere in the United States. Here is how one major newspaper reported the event .

LOS ANGELES ELECTS BRADLEY MAYOR UNSEATING YORTY

BLACK WINS 56% OF VOTES

Bradley called his victory over Yorty “ the fulfillment of a dream ”. During his childhood and youth, people had kept telling him , “You can’t do this, you can’t go there, because you are a Negro. ” Nevertheless he had won a decisive victory over a man who had been won 43.7 percent.

Los Angeles voters have had many opportunities to judge. Thomas Bradley had to form an opinion of him, The son of a poor farmer Texas, he joined the Los Angeles police force in 1940. During his twenty-one years on the police force he earned a law degree by attending school at night. He was elected to the city council years ago.

At the time of the Los Angeles election, three other American cities already had black mayors, but none of these cities had as large a population as Los Angeles. Besides, the percentage of blacks in those other cities was much larger. Cleveland, Ohio, had thirty-six percent black when Carl Stokes was elected mayor of Cleveland in 1967. In the same year Richard Hatcher was elected mayor of Cary. In Newark, New Jersey, sixty percent of the population were black when Kenneth Gibson was elected in 1970. Thus election of a black mayor in those cities was not very surprising .

In Los Angeles, thousands of white citizens voted for Thomas Bradley because they believed he would be a better mayor than the white candidate. Bradley had spent forty-eight of his fifty-five years in Los Angeles. Four years ago, Bradley lost

The Wall Street Journal Asia Edition (U.S.), the Globe and Mail (Canada), the Guardian (U.K.), among other foreign news agencies, have recently published articles on China's earthquake relief. They have all praised the earthquake relief efforts made by the Chinese government.

The Wall Street Journal Asia Edition published an article on May 21 saying that on the eighth day of the most serious natural disaster to hit China in decades, the main task of rescuing survivors from the ruins had been quickly replaced by the great challenge of helping them. The article said that people overseas have been deeply impressed by earthquake relief efforts by the Chinese government.

The Associated French Press (AFP) reported on May 21 that China has become more open in the whole rescue action.

Aircraft loaded with relief supplies from Ukraine, Russia, the United States, Singapore and many other countries have arrived in disaster areas in southwestern China.

The Associated Japanese Press (AJP) published an article on May 21 reporting that China is making great efforts to deal with a formidable task caused by the earthquake how to provide temporary shelter for so many people. The article said that many tents have been built; and food and medical care are provided to the people whose lives have been completely disrupted(搅乱)by the earthquake.

The Global and Mail of Canada published an article on May 20 that said the rapid earthquake relief work in Sichuan shows China's powerful economic strength.

An article carried in the British Guardian said that one week after the Sichuan earthquake, China began a three-day national mourning(哀悼) period at 14:28 on May 19, and all Chinese people stood in silence for three minutes in memory of the victims.

The ongoing search and rescue action are still encouraged by one unexpected survivor after another. Chinese officials said that, so far, no epidemic(流行病) had occurred after the earthquake.

NOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.

Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.

In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out. They are not sure to what degree people’s memories are affected.

The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.

Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war.

They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.

"Some memories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."

But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change people’s memories and

changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.

"All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out, "said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.

28. The passage is mainly about.

A. a new medical invention

B. a new research on the pill

C. a way of wiping out painful memories

D. an argument about the research on the pill

29. The drug tested on people can.

A. cause the brain to fix memories

B. stop people remembering bad experiences

C. prevent body producing certain chemicals

D. wipe out the emotional effects of memories

30. We can infer from the passage that.

A. people doubt the effects of the pills

B. the pill will certainly stop people's emotional memories

C. taking the pill will do harm to people's physical health

D. the pill has already been produced and used by the public in America

31. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with in the last paragraph ?

A. some memories can ruin people's lives.

B. people want to get rid of bad memories.

C. experiencing bad events makes us different from others.

D. the pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories.

D

When families gather for Christmas dinner, some will stick to formal traditions, that is, their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver bowls. But now in many other homes, this china-and-silver elegancehas given way to a stoneware (粗陶) and informality, with dresses in an informal and ordinary look. For hosts and

guests, the change means greater simplicity and comfort. For makers of fine china in Britain, it means economic hard times.

Last week Royal Doulton, the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent, announced that it is removing 1,000 jobs -- one-fifth of its total workforce. That brings to more than 4, 000 the number of positions lost in 18 months in the pottery (陶瓷) field. Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earlier.

Although a strong pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing, the layoffs（失业） in Stoke have their roots in great social changes. A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the company "has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend(潮流)" toward informal dining. Families eat together less often, he explained, and more people eat alone, either because they are single or because they want to eat in front of television. Even dinner parties, if they happen at all, have gone informal. In a time of long work hours and busy family schedules, busy hosts insist, rightly, that it's better to share a takeout pizza on paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a "real" dinner party. Too often, the perfect moment never comes. Iron a fine-patterned tablecloth? Forget it. Clean the silver bowls? Who has time?

Yet the loss of formality has its down side. The fine points of etiquette (礼节) that children might once have learned before at the table by observation or instruction from parents and grandparents (" Chew with your mouth closed." "Keep your elbows off the table. ") must be picked up else-where. Some companies now offer etiquette courses for employees who may be able professionally but inexperienced socially.

32. In many homes nowadays, people tend to ______________________

A. stick to formal traditions when they dine

B. set their tables with the good dishes and silver bowls

C. have dinner informally

D. buy many sets of fine china

33. Why do people tend to follow the trend towards informal dining?

A. Family members need more time to relax.

B. Busy schedules leave people no time for formality.

C. People prefer to live a comfortable life.

D. Young people won't follow the etiquette of the older generation.

34. It can be learned from the passage that ‘Royal Doulton’ is.

A. a store of steel tableware

B. a store of stoneware

C. a store of pottery chain

D. a producer of fine china

35. The main cause of the layoffs in the pottery industry is.

A. the increased value of the pound

B. the worsening economy in Asia

C. the change in people's way of life

D. the fierce competition at home and abroad

书面表达(满分25分)

Dear editor,

I’m Li Hua. I’m writing to express my concern over the test anxiety（或pressure/stress） among high school students and give my suggestions.

With examinations coming , quite a few of my fellow high school students suffer much anxiety（或pressure/stress）. Some of them bury themselves in the preparations for the exams day and night, which does them harm physically and mentally. Too much

anxiety （或pressure/stress ） has some bad effects on students. It can destroy a student’s confidence ，even might make some students lose control of their emotions and behaviors.

Therefore, I think high school students should learn how to reduce anxiety （或pressure/stress）. First, they should have a right attitude towards examinations. Second, they’d better find some time for fun, for example, listening to music. Sometimes even crying is a good way to release anxiety（或pressure/stress）. Finally, if they find anxiety（或pressure/stress）is nearly beyond their control, they’d better turn to experts for help.

I hope my suggestions are useful.

Yours truly,

Li Hua
