Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenager’s intended major, one located neat a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe. “The safety issue is a big one,” says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn’t alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked : what about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answer ――“That’s not a problem here,” ――Mahoney began to feel uneasy.

“No crime whatsoever?” comments Mahoney today. “ I just don’t buy it.” Nor should he: in 1999 the U.S. Department of education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. “Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college,” says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. “Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation.”

But getting accurate information isn’t easy. Colleges must report crime statistics(統(tǒng)計數(shù)字)by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. “The truth may not always be serious,” warms S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc., the nation’s leading campus safety watchdog group.

To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.

56. The Mahoneys visited quite a few colleges last August ________

   A. to express the opinions of many parents

   B. to choose a right one four their daughter

   C. to check the cost of college education

   D. to find a tight one near a large city

57. It is often difficult to get correct information on campus crime because some colleges ____

A. receive too many visitors       B. mirror the rest of the nation

C. hide the truth of campus crime  D. have too many watchdog groups

58. The underlined word “buy” in the third paragraph means _______

A. mind   B. admit    C. believe   D. expect

59. We learn from the text that “the honest ones” in the fourth paragraph most probably refers to colleges _____.

A. that are protected by campus security   B. that report campus crimes by law

       C. that are free from campus crime          D. that enjoy very good publicity

60. What is the text mainly about?

A. Exact campus crime statistics           B. Crimes on or around campuses

C. Effective solutions to campus crime   D. Concerns about kids’ campus safety

We know the famous ones—the Thomas Edisons and the Alexander Graham Bells—but what about the less famous inventors? What about the people who invented the traffic light and the windshield wiper (雨刮器)？ Shouldn’t we know who they are?

Joan Mclean thinks so. In fact, McLean, a professor of physics at Mountain University in Range, feels so strongly about this matter that she’s developed a course on the topic. In addition to learning “who” invented “what”, however, McLean also likes her students to learn the answers to the “why” and “how” questions. According to McLean, “When students learn the answers to these questions, they are better prepared to recognize opportunities for inventing and more willing to give inventing a try.”

Her students agree. One young man with a patent（專利）for an unbreakable umbrella is walking proof of McLean’s statement. “If I had not heard the story of the windshield wiper’s invention,” said Tommy Lee, a senior physics major, “ I never would have dreamed of turning my bad experience during a rainstorm into something so useful.” Lee is now considering to sell his patent to an umbrella producer.

So, just what is the story behind the windshield wiper? Well, Mary Anderson came up with the idea in 1902 after a visit to New York City. The day was cold and stormy, but Anderson still wanted to see the sights, so she jumped aboard a streetcar. Noticing that the driver was struggling to see through the snow covering the windshield, she found herself wondering why there couldn’t be a built-in device(裝置) for cleaning the window. Still wondering about this when she returned home to Birminghan, Alabama, Anderson started drafting out solutions. One of her ideas, a lever (操作桿) on the inside of a vehicle that would control an arm on the outside, became the first windshield wiper.

Today we benefit from countless inventions and innovations. It’s hard to imagine driving without Garrett A. Morgan’s traffic light. It’s equally impossible to picture a world without Katherine J. Blodgett’s innovation that makes glass invisible. Can you picture life without clear windows and eyeglasses?

Neighbors rescued a woman from her burning home early Monday morning，and three firefighters were hurt putting out the flames in Green Bay.

The fire was discovered around 4 o'clock at a three-story home in the South Quincy Street on the city's east side. Investigators(調(diào)查者) say 68-year-old Mary Taylor lives there with her two dogs.

“I got out of bed and went to the front window and could hear somebody was yelling(叫喊)，‘Fire!’” Curt Dworak said.When he realized what was happening, he threw on some clothes and ran to help. “I was just hoping Mary wasn't in there，but her car was in the driveway，so I just reacted,” he said, “I just broke the glass and then went in through the window.”

Dworak yelled for Mary but got no response. As he searched，the fire grew and debris(碎片) started falling around him. I didn't know what to do. I yelled for her a couple more times，and then I heard her. Disoriented(分不清方向的)and unable to move, Mary was sprawling(趴) on the floor in the back of her house，so Dworak picked her up and carried her to safety.

Dworak, who has been hailed as a hero by Green Bay Fire Department but shrugged of the praise，said，“They would have done the same thing. Mary is a nice lady，and how could you live with yourself if you didn't do something like that?”

Mary was up and talking before she was taken to the hospital to be checked out. Dworak escaped without a thin cut.

1.

 As soon as Dworak realized there was a big fire，he         .

    A. went to his front window and stood watching

    B. put on his clothes quickly and rushed there

    C. searched for Mary's crying in her room

D. put away his clothes and jumped off his house

2.

 The sentence “ but her car was in the driveway” in Paragraph 3 implies(暗指) that

       .

   A. Mary was just in the house.          B. Mary's car was in Dworak's way.

   C. Mary's car was broken.          D. Mary's car was in good condition.

3.

The underlined Word “ hailed” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “          ”.

A. named         B. checked              C. praised              D. trained

4.

What can we learn from the passage?

   A. It was Dworak who found the fire first.

 B. Dworak was badly injured by the fire.

   C. Mary lost consciousness in the flames. 

D. Mary is friendly to her neighborhood.
