You know it’s truly amazing how the Jewish people survived after thousands of years of being slaves, persecuted(追捕), and even attempted genocide (種族滅絕)when Hitler’s Nazi murdered 6 million Jews! That’s why in 1934, Germany was the    36   place to be a Jew. When Hitler’s teenage gangs    37    his village, the little    38    boy, Heinz, was just 11 years old.
Every day Heinz’s parents taught their    39    how important it was to learn    40   . When the Nazi gangs terrorized their village on the streets daily, Heinz’s parents knew that just one moment of losing control of their    41   against their rulers could    42    the death of the family. So Heinz learned to stay out of their    43   , sometimes crossing the street or taking a    44   road home.
But one day, young Heinz was finally    45    by one of Hitler’s bullies(暴徒). For the first time, Heinz was    46   to talk to a Nazi youth. But by staying calm and    47    choosing his words, Heinz surprised himself when he    48    his way out of trouble and    49   this bully not to hurt him    50    to let him go. That day, Heinz discovered his survival skill of talking and    51    with others. It was a major    52   point that changed his life---and later changed the world.
After a few years, Heinz’s family escaped from Germany and moved to America. But Heinz never forgot how to talk with people and help bring    53    between enemies. You see, that 11-year-old boy who had    54    his first peace settlement with a Nazi bully, later became one of the greatest ambassadors of peace in the world. You’ve probably heard of him- not as Heinz- but by his American name: Henry Kissinger, the    55   US Secretary of State.

E
Imagine growing a home from living trees instead of building a home from wood. Mitchell Joachim, at the MIT Media Lab's Smart Cities Group, along with ecological engineer Lara Greden and architect Javier Arbona, have proposed a system of homes that are actually a living ecosystem.
Joachim's vision is based on a gardening method known as pleaching, which involves weaving branches together to form living lattice(格子) walls. Since the growth patterns of trees are affected by wind and sunlight, it may be possible to manipulate the way a tree develops.
This idea is an extreme, yet simple and beautiful, form of green building. Not only does it not cause direct harm to the environment, but it is actually part of the environment. The house, which is a network of trees, would clean the air and also provide a home for animals and birds. "Not only does it do zero damage, but it will hopefully clean the air," says Joachim.
"A 100 percent treehouse would take years to create," Joachim said. Depending on the climate, a house could take anywhere from 5 to 30 years to grow. Fortunately, there's a way to speed up the process.
Ecological materials, Joachim suggests, should be included in the housing designs. For example, windows can be made from soy-based plastics that would flex (折曲) with the home as it grows.
So what happens when a home and the great outdoors are one and the same? A home would become an actual ecosystem, a community of plants, animals, and bacteria working together. The trees would also give off water vapor that would assist in cooling the homes. Solar panels and wind would help provide energy. Straw and clay could be used to insulate(使絕緣) the structures. The tree homes might even have soil pockets, where plants could grow from the structure itself.
Joachim's project is called MatScape, designing a house in California that will be constructed from 50% recycled and 50% living elements. He sees it as an experimental step toward the final living house.
57.The best title for this passage would be______.
A.Trees Find Its New Use                               B.Scientists Create New Houses
C.Grow Your Home Out of Trees                       D.People Begin Living in Trees
58.The underlined word "manipulate" in Paragraph Two can be best replaced by     .
A.build                      B.influence                C.weave                     D.provide
59.It can be inferred from this passage that__________.
A.treehouses will replace traditional buildings
B.pollution problem will be solved once for all
C.many Californians may be building their own treehouses
D.some ecological materials may move as the house grows
60.If this passage is continued, what would probably be discussed?
A.A final living house.                                          B.Joachim's MatScape project.
C.More information about pleaehing.               D.Some more ecological materials.

Besides his famous speech “I Have a Dream”, Martin Luther King is still well known for his work of nonviolent movements for black people. In 1955, Martin Luther King won national recognition for his non-violent methods used in a bus boycott in Alabama. Under his guidance, this peaceful boycott changed the law which required black people to ride in the backs of buses. After his success, Dr. King used the same way in efforts to change other discriminatory laws.

In memory of his work for peaceful changes, Dr. King received the 1964 Nobel Peace Prize, but his leadership was challenged as civil rights activists became more militant. In the late 1960s, he showed further opposition to the war in Vietnam and to economic discrimination. While planning a multiracial Poor People’s March for anti-poverty legislation, he was shot and killed in Tennessee.

Section C
Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not nee
A.Choose a limited subject
B.Draw in black and white
C.Use only simple actions
D.Use words sparingly
AB.Revise and simplify
AC.Create easy-to-recognize characters
 
76.
Consider straightforward, uncomplicated actions for you characters. While the actions may be symbolic, such as pumping up for a business deal, it should be clear what the character in the drawing is doing
 
77.
Aim your satire at targets that can be “summarized” in a few easily recognized images, You might choose a single person, such as a rock star, or a group or institution—such as business people, a nation, Congress, or basketball players, Labels or dialogue can help identify characters, but remember that the less “work” your audience has to do, the more effective your cartoon will be .
 
78.
While brief, simple dialogue may be necessary to get your point across, make sure it’s easy to understand and doesn’t take up much room. If you rely too heavily on dialogue, you are really creating an illustrated story or play instead of a cartoon. Labels and captions, too, should be minimal and easy to understand.
 
79.
Consider subjects that are familiar to your audience and that can be encapsulated in a few words and images. Try characters actions, or ideas that become laughable with only a little exaggeration or an unlikely comparison.
 
76.
Eliminate all that is extraneous and reword your cartoon until its impact is as immediate as possible. In fashion circle, there is a saying: less is more which can be applied to creating a cartoon.

Devon, 17, is used to paying her own cell phone and car expenses. But lately it's been harder. The family she baby-sits for hasn’t been calling as much as usual and she couldn't find a job over the summer. Devon's dad said it's a sign of the tough economy. He told her he's feeling the pinch too and that he had to use her college fund to pay the loan(貨款).
This kind of money troubles isn't strange to common families these days. In fact, it's hard to avoid news about the economy on the screen of the TV or the computers recently. It can seem a bit worry and some families are hit really hard.
For most people, the big problem is that things cost more at a time when they have less money to spend. But higher prices aren't the only problem. Many people are having a tough time making payments on some types of home loans.
Therefore, some families are cutting back on what they spend. For example, eating out less, staying home instead of going on vacation, moving to a less expensive house and so on.
However, as discouraging as things may seem now, the good news is that the economy always gets back on track after a while. Jobs may be hard to find, but the slow economy can open up new opportunities. The couple Devon babysat for might cut back on evening's out, but they could be interested in hiring her for after-school care. Perhaps it's time to sell her old toys and baby gear (設(shè)備)in the basement(地下室) or help others sell these items online if she is-good at it. She could charge them a fee to sell their old stuff(東西).
72. What does the underlined phrase in the first paragraph refer to?
A. Getting hurt.               B. Short of money.
C. Out of work.               D. Receiving less calls.
73. According to the passage, what constantly appears on the screen nowadays?
A. News on the tough economy.         B. Devon's family troubles.
C. Advertisements for babysitters.        D. Information on yard sales.
74. What do people do to overcome the tough economy?
A. To strike for high pay.      B. To open a new store to sell toys.
C. To cut down their expense.  D. To move to other places for vocations.
75. The passage is mainly about       .
A. Devon's own family money troubles    B. family troubles' made by tough economy
