12．There was once a captain who loved money so much that he cheated his sailors at the end of every voyage and took their wages．
On the last day of one voyage，the ship was in a small port．It was winter time，and the sea was very cold，so the captain said to his sailors，"If one of you stays in the water during the whole night，I will give him my ship．But if he comes out before the sun appears，I shall get his wages．"
The sailors had heard about the captain's cheating，so they didn't trust him．But then one of them，who thought that he was cleverer than the captain，said that he would do it．He got into the water，and，though it was very cold，he stayed in it．When it was nearly morning，some fishermen lit a fire on the shore about half a mile away．
"You are cheating，"the captain said to the sailor．"The fire's warming you．"
"But it's half a mile away!"said the sailor．
"A fire's fire，"answered the captain．"I have won．"
The sailor came out of the water，and said，"Perhaps you think that you are clever because you have won my wages，but you can't cook a chicken．"
"I can，"answered the captain．
"If you cook this chicken，"said the sailor，"I shall work for you without wages for seven years，but if you can't，you will give me your ship．"
The captain agreed，took the chicken and said，"Where's the fire？"
"There it is，"answered the sailor．"On the shore．"
"But it's half a mile away，"said the captain angrily．
"'A fire's fire，'you said，"answered the sailor．"If it is enough to warm me in the water，it is enough to cook your chicken．"

3．Six years ago，a Miami woman walking through the hall of an office building casually noticed two men standing together．Several minutes after her leaving，the men murdered a person working in the building．Police investigators determined that the woman was the only witness who had seen the two suspects，and could possibly describe them．In an interview with police，her memory of the men proved disappointingly unclear．
Several days later，psychologist Ronald P．Fisher was brought in to get a more complete description from the woman．Fisher's interview produced a breakthrough （突破）-the woman reported a clear picture of one of the suspects．She then recalled several details about his appearances．This information gave police important leads that enabled them to arrest the suspects and close the case．
Police investigators found the help from Fisher because of his rich knowledge in conducting the so-called cognitive （認(rèn)知的） interview，a kind of memory-rebuilding process．In its original form，the cognitive interview focuses on guiding witnesses through four general recalling techniques：thinking about physical surroundings and personal feelings that existed at the time of past events，reporting everything that comes to mind about those events no matter how broken or unconnected，retelling events in kinds of time orders，beginning to end，end to beginning，forward or backward，and accepting different views while recalling events．
Usually，an interviewer begins the cognitive approach by encouraging the witness to take an active role in recalling information rather than giving answers only to someone else's questions．The witness first describes what happened in his or her own words，with no interviewer interruptions．The interviewer then goes further with specific techniques，such as having the witness tell the details of what happened from different aspects．
Experiments with police detectives trained in this demanding interview method find that they get nearly 50% more information from witnesses than before training，while error rates remain about the same．
56．What is the purpose of this passage？D
A．To give an description of a murder case in an office．
B．To explain why Fisher was invited to a police interview．
C．To describe how cognitive method helps the woman to recall．
D．To give the readers an idea of cognitive interview．
57．The cognitive interview helped the woman to recall more byC．
A．strengthening her memory           
B．giving her encouragement
C．rebuilding her memory             
D．giving her more time
58．It can be inferred from the passage that in a cognitive interview，the interviewer mainly plays aArole．
A．directing          B．questioning    C．disappointing       D．interrupting
59．What is the key point of the cognitive interview？B
A．The interviewer should interrupt the witness from time to time．
B．The witness is encouraged to take an active role in recalling information．
C．The interview should take place outside the police station．
D．The witness should recall details at the scene of the event．
60．Police trained in the cognitive interview method canA．
A．get more information from the witness than before       
B．decrease the error rate
C．solve the cases more quickly      
D．use the method more skillfully than the psychologists．

1．It is early morning in northern Gaza．The streets are filled with children on their way to school．Most carry backpacks almost as big as themselves．All are dressed in clean and tidy uniforms．It is quite an incongruoussight as they walk past piles of destroyed buildings from Israel's military operation earlier this year．
In the Elyen family home，nine-year-old Huda is nervous．Her mother is still preparing sandwiches．Huda is worried she will be late for school．
As bags are packed and hair curled，there is not much wriggle （身體扭動） room for the three school-aged children here．The Elyens live in a weak，one-bedroom shelter．
Their house was destroyed and one of their cousins killed in an Israeli airstrike in January．Amer，their father，is worried about the winter．He tells me he cannot afford a proper roof．
He has been out of work for three years，ever since Israel forced heavy restrictions （限制） on border crossings into the Gaza Strip （加沙地帶），damaging the already weak local economy．
Amer says he hopes his children will finish their schooling，regardless of poverty or violence．
He had to leave school as a young boy to help support his brothers and sisters．He firmly believes that education can open doors to a better life．
But many of Gaza's schoolchildren are less optimistic．They know that no matter how educated they are，opportunities are scarce．Unemployment is unavoidable．
Escaping Gaza for a better life elsewhere is almost impossible，as neighboring Israel and Egypt keep their crossings with Gaza pretty much sealed shut．
Schooling is also repeatedly interrupted by conflict．This is sometimes due to violence but mainly because of military action by Israel．Israel says this is in response to rocket by Gaza militants （激進(jìn)分子），aimed at Israeli citizens．
55．The underlined word"incongruous"in the first paragraph probably meansD．
A．not famous                             
B．not familiar 
C．not beautiful                           
D．lacking in harmony
56．From the passage，we can infer the following EXCEPTD．．
A．Elyen's family is very poor．
B．there are five people in Elyen's family in total                         
C．it is very difficult to find a job in northern Gaza
D．people in Gaza can make a living by escaping Gaza
57．According to the passage，which of the following about Amer is true？A
A．He supports his children to go to school．
B．He will manage to get a proper roof．
C．He had a good education when he was young．
D．He thinks that education is of little importance．
58．The main idea of the passage should be （that）B．
