     Eddie McKay, a once-forgotten pilot, is a subject of great interest to a group of history students in Canada.

It all started when Graham Broad, a professor at the University of Western Ontario, found McKay's name in a footnote in a book about university history. Mckay was included in a list of university alumni(校友) who had served during the First World War, but his name was unfamiliar to Broad, a specialist in military history. Out of curiosity, Broad spent hours at the local archives(檔案館) in a fruitless search for information on Mckay. Tired and discouraged, he finally gave up. On his way out, Broad's glance happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers. His eye was drawn to an old picture of a young man in a rugby uniform. As he read the words beside the picture, he experienced a thrilling realization." After looking for him all day, there he was, staring up at me out of the exhibiting case," said Broad. Excited by the find, Broad asked his students to continue his search. They combed old newspapers and other materials for clues. Gradually, a picture came into view.

Captain Alfred Edwin McKay joined the British Royal Flying Corps in 1916. He downed ten enemy planes, outlived his entire squadron(中隊(duì))  as a WWI flyer, spent some time as a flying instructor in England, then returned to the front, where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in December 1917. But there's more to his story. “For a brief time in 1916 he was probably the most famous pilot in the world," says Broad. “He was credited with downing Oswald Boclcke, the most famous German pilot at the time." Yet, in a letter home, McKay refused to take credit, saying that Boelcke had actually crashed into another German plane.

Mckay's war records were destroyed during a World War II air bombing on London---an explanation for why he was all but forgotten.

But now, thanks to the efforts of Broad and his students, a marker in McKay's memory was placed on the university grounds in November 2007. “I found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word 'deceased'(陣亡) next to his name," said Corey Everrett, a student who found a picture if Mckay in his uniform. “This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us, but instead of finishing his time at Western, he chose to fight and die for his country."

56 What made Professor Broad continue his search for more information on McKay?

A. A uniform of McKay.     B. A footnote about McKay

C. A book on McKay        D.A picture of McKay

57. What did the students find out about McKay?

A. He trained pilots for some time.

B. He lived longer than other pilots.

C. He died in the Second World War.

D. He was downed by the pilot Boelcke.

McKay's flying documents were destroyed in _______.

A. Belgium   B. Germany      C. Canada      D. England

59. We can learn from the last paragraph that McKay _____.

A. preferred fight to his study

B. went to war before graduation

C. left a picture for Corey Everrett

D. set an example for his fellow students

60. What is the text mainly about?

The research into war history.

The finding of a forgotten hero.

The pilots of the two world wars.

The importance of military studies.

Every summer, no matter how urgent work schedule is, I take off one day exclusively for my son. We call it dad-son day. This year our third stop was the amusement panic, where we discovered that he was tall enough to ride one of the fastest roller coasters (過山車)in the world. We experienced through face-stretching turns and circles for ninety seconds. Then, as we stepped off the ride, in a calm voice, he remarked that it was not as exciting as other rides he’d been on. As I listened, I began to sense something seriously out of balance.
Throughout the season, I noticed similar events all around me. Parents found it hard to find new stimulations for cold kids. Surrounded by ever-greater stimulation, their young feces were looking disappointed and bored
Facing their children's complaints of "nothing to do", parents were spending large numbers of dollars for various forms of entertainment In many cases the money seemed to do little more than buy relief from the terrible complaint of their bored children. This set me thinking the obvious question: "How can it be so hard for kids to find something to do when there's been such a range of stimulating entertainment available to them?"
What really worries me is the strength of the stimulation. I watch my little daughter's &ce as she absorbs bloody special effects in movies.
Why do children facing such excitement seem starved for more? Thai was, I realized, the point I discovered during my own adolescence that what creates excitement is not going fast, but going faster. Excitement has less to do with speed than changes in speed.
I am concerned about the increasing effect of years at these levels of feverish activity. It is no mystery to me why many teenagers appear uninterested and burned out, with a "been there, done that" air of indifference toward much of life. As increasing numbers of friends’ children are advised to take medicine to deal with inattentiveness at school or anti-depressants (抗抑郁藥)to help with the loss of interest and joy in their lives—I question the role of kids’ boredom in some of the diagnoses (處方).
My own work is focused on the chemical imbalances and biological factors related to behavioral and emotional disorders. These are complex problems. Yet I’ve been reflecting more and more on how lie pace of life and the strength of stimulation may be contributing to the rising rates of psychological problems among children and adolescents in our society.
【小題1】The reason why the author felt surprised in the amusement park was that ________.

A．his son was not as excited by the roller coasters ride as expected
B．his songs enjoyed turns and circles with his face stretched
C．his son appeared upset but calm while riding the roller coasters
D．his son could keep his balance so well on the fast moving roller coasters
【小題2】According to the author, children will probably feel excited ________.
A．if their parents allow them to ride roller coasters very often
B．since parents spend money on the same form of entertainment
C．a(chǎn)fter they take anti-depressants according to the diagnoses
D．if they are often exposed to more stimulating entertainment
【小題3】From his own experience, the author came to the conclusion that children seem to expect _______.
A．a(chǎn) much wider variety of sports facilities
B．a(chǎn)ctivities that require complicated skills
C．the change of the forms of recreation
D．more challenging physical exercise
【小題4】In order to relieve children's boredom, the author would probably suggest ________.
A．a(chǎn)djusting the pace of life and strength of stimulation
B．promoting the practice of dad-son days
C．consulting a specialist in child psychology
D．balancing school work with after school activities

Chinese writer Mo Yan’s Nobel Prize for Literature might ignite an explosion of global interest in Chinese literature and lead to more titles translated into English, European experts say.
“Hopefully, the award means more people will read Chinese literature and more works will get translated,” says Michel Hockx, professor of the Languages and Cultures of China and Inner Asia from University of London. “Many very good Chinese writers have been accepted globally for a long time already. Mo Yan is probably the most translated Chinese writer alive, with at least five of his novels made available in English over the past 20 years.”
Jonathan Ruppin, web editor of bookseller Foyles, says Mo’s win coincides with growing interest in Chinese literature and recognizes the talents of a distinctive and visionary（富于幻想的）writer. “We are very excited by the fact that English translations of more of his books should now become available,” Ruppin says. He made the comment after Mo became the first Chinese citizen to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in its century-long history.
As East-West cultural exchange has been booming, Chinese literature has been attracting growing attention in recent years. Hockx explains, “It’s mainly because there are many more opportunities for Chinese writers to visit other countries, to publish their works outside China and to interact with readers abroad. At the same time, more and more people globally are learning Chinese and taking an interest in the Chinese language and culture.”
University of Oxford lecturer in modern Chinese literature Margaret Hillenbrand says, “The obvious reason for the growing global presence of Chinese literature is the growing global presence of China itself. People have come to realize that there is a serious knowledge deficit （缺少）between China and its international counterparts — in particular, China knows incomparably（無比地）more about Europe and America than the other way round — and reading Chinese literature is an effective, simple means of solving that gap.”
【小題1】The underlined word “ignite” in Paragraph 1 probably means  “________”.

A．start outB．burn upC．set offD．a(chǎn)ppeal to
【小題2】Chinese literature has been attracting growing attention mainly because ________.
A．Chinese writers have been writing more and more books in English
B．the Chinese language has become the most widely used language in the world
C．the Chinese government attaches great importance to literature
D．the cultural communication between China and western countries has developed
【小題3】Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Chinese literature has spread with the development of China.
B．The Nobel Prize for Literature has a history of hundreds of years.
C．In the past, no Chinese writers were accepted outside China.
D．Foreigners know about China mainly by reading Mo Yan’s works.
【小題4】How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?
A．China knows more about Europe and America than before.
B．China knows more about Europe and America than they know about China.
C．China, Europe and America know one another more than before.
D．Compared with America, China knows more about Europe.
