At the time, Tompkins Square Park, across the street, was filled with   37   people living in temporary huts. When Leslie spotted a flock of pigeons   38   in an area of the tall apartments that Michael said would be their master bedroom, she thought her husband had   39   his mind.
When the family   40   in, Ripton, adopted as an infant, was six. Morgan, also adopted, joined the family two years later. Soon the park was closed, to be a(n)  41   showplace of playgrounds and green space. Michael made significant money in the real estate and Leslie joined a gym practice. The family enjoyed   42   vacations in the winter and summers on Shelter Island.
The five boys who came to play video games changed everything. “In the   43  , it was just a lot of kids swarming all over the place,” says Michael. When the Rosens   44   Carlos wasn’t attending school because he didn’t have suitable clothes, they bought him some. Then one night, they took the group to a   45   after a Chinese dinner and realized there were other needs. “The boys had no interest in books at all,” Michael says. Back at the penthouse, he   46   they sit down to read aloud. “Their vocabularies were limited,” he says. “But my concept of what is smart and what is not changed that night because these kids were all smart   47   just uneducated.”
The boys still slept at their homes, though they spent after-school hours, most weekends and summer nights at the penthouse. There, a half-hour reading period before video games or television started. The kitchen timer was set, and everyone had to   48   the words they didn’t know. One summer, Michael took all the boys to the library; each got a card and picked a   49  to study. Will, Michael remembers, chose bodybuilding. A poet friend of the Rosens’ suggested buying copies of Moby Dick and reading it together around the dining-room table. “Well, it was   50  ,” admits Michael. “That book is not written in a language these kids speak. But we kept pushing and pushing.”
51   the big boys became a complete part of the Rosen household, even helping to light the candles at Hanukkah. Chores were assigned, including cleaning and   52   Mr. Jenkins, the family dog.
The boys’ own families were   53   by what was happening. “My mom didn’t believe me when I told her about the penthouse. She thought I was involved with something   54  .” Juan Carlos’s mother, Esther Ruiz, wondered, “Why would the Rosens be doing this?” But as time went on, she noticed   55   in her son. “It wasn’t just the streets anymore. He was getting responsible. Michael and Leslie are the best.”

BEIJING - China’s National Tourism Administration (NTA) said Saturday that 215 Chinese tour groups in Japan were safe and sound after a devastating 8.8-magnitude earthquake jolted the country’s eastern coast Friday.
A total of 4,578 Chinese tourists were staying in Japan at the time of the quake. By Saturday noon, all the 215 tour groups that they booked with had contacted domestic travel agencies, with no death or injury reported, said the NTA upon information from local tourism authorities.
The NTA has activated the emergency response system and issued a travel alert for Japan and countries along the Pacific Rim, it said in a statement on its website.
The NTA has also called for travel agencies to protect the security of Chinese tourists in Japan and keep in touch with the Chinese embassy and consulates in Japan, as well as China’s tourism authorities.
Chinese tour agencies had started to bring back tourists from the quake-hit Japan and many trips had been called off.
China CYTS Tours, one of China’s major travel agencies, had promised a full refund for trip cancellation and offered to bear the extra expense for tourist protection in disasters and unrest.
A massive 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck the east coast of Japan’s main Honshu Island at 1:46 pm Beijing Time Friday, which had triggered huge tsunami along Japan’s Pacific coast and caused hundreds of deaths and catastrophic damage.
56. Where are we likely to find this passage?

A disheveled(头发凌乱的) man appeared in court Thursday on charges of murdering a Chinese woman whose fight with her attacker was seen on webcam by her boyfriend in China. Police refused to release any details about the crime or its possible motive.
The body of York University student Liu Qian, 23, of Beijing, was found Friday in her apartment in Toronto a few hours after her boyfriend witnessed the attack, police said.
She was found undressed from the waist down but there were no obvious signs of sexual attack or trauma（创伤）severe enough to kill her. Police say it may be weeks before the results of an autopsy(尸体解剖) are known.
Brian Dickson, 29, stood before the court in a wrinkled white shirt and blue jeans as a charge of first-degree murder was read out. He did not enter an appeal. His case was held over until April 26.
Dickson was arrested Wednesday. Police only announced his name and his age and asked the media not to publish any photos of Dickson, saying it could compromise the investigation. Toronto police spokesman Tony Vella declined to respond to the request further.
Liu’s father, Liu Jianhui, who arrived from China after being informed of his daughter’s death, thanked authorities for their quick action.
“I sincerely thank the people concerned with my daughter’s case,” he told reporters after the arrest. “Our daughter was studying very hard.”
Police released no motive or details about Dickson, but one friend described the Toronto man as an aspiring actor.
Patricia Tomasi, a friend of Dickson’s, told The Associated Press that she acted in a play at a local theater in Toronto with Dickson in 2007.
“He doesn’t seem like the type but that’s what they always say,” Tomasi said. “He’s tall with boyish good looks. I don’t know much about him except that he wanted to be an actor.”
Dickson attended York University where he studied global politics, but did not earn a degree from there.
He later worked for the Atlantic Council of Canada (ACC), where he served as an assistant to the president Julie Lindhout. According to his biography on a newsletter from the Atlantic Council of Canada, Dickson has also been a running instructor and has been involved with Developments in Literacy, a Pakistani aid organization that raises money for children in Pakistan.
A statement from the Atlantic Council of Canada on Thursday said it was not council policy to comment on staff, but it confirmed that Dickson had been an intern(实习生) with the council from September 29, 2008, until March 27, 2009.
Liu was chatting with her boyfriend, Meng Xianchao, by webcam at about 1 a.m. Friday when a man knocked on the door, police said.
Meng reported seeing a struggle break out between the two before Liu’s webcam was shut off. Meng contacted other friends in Toronto who in turn called police.
The victim’s father, Liu Jianhui, said his daughter studied at Beijing City University before moving to Canada, where she met Meng.
Liu Qian’s laptop computer, webcam and mobile phone were taken from the apartment the night of the attack, police said. Police said the online chat was on a live streaming camera and was not recorded, though investigators were trying to figure out if there was any way they could recover it.
York University, whose campus is located near one of Toronto’s rougher neighborhoods, is one of Canada’s largest universities with more than 53,000 undergraduate and graduate students. About 3,200 of York’s students come from more than 150 foreign countries, the university’s website says.
59. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. York University students come from over 150 foreign countries.
B. Dickson was a graduate of York University where he studied global politics.
C. The passage does not mention the reason why Dickson murdered Liu Qian.
D. ACC wouldn’t make any comments on staff even if they committed a crime.
60. The underlined word in paragraph 8 probably means _______.
A. a successful actor   B. a gifted actor   C. a common actor    D. an ambitious actor
61. Why did police ask the media not to publish any photos of Dickson?
A. Worrying about bad influences on the investigation.
B. Not intending to give out any information about Dickson.
C. Not confirming whether Dickson had killed Liu Qian.
D. Wanting to protect their citizen for fear of losing face.
62. What can be inferred from the text?
A. Developments in Literacy raises money for children.
B. Seeing the struggle, Meng contacted Toronto police.
C. Dickson had no bad records before the murder.
D. Investigators could recover the chat record online.
C
He’s out there somewhere, an instant icon in the records of American conflict, the final big-game hunter. But a puzzle, too, his identity would be kept a secret for now, and maybe forever.
He is the unknown shooter. The nameless, faceless triggerman who put a bullet in the head of the world’s most notorious（臭名昭著的）terrorist, Bin Laden.
He’s likely between the ages of 26 and 33, says Marcinko, founder of the “SEALs Team 6” that many believe led the attack on Bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan. He’ll be old enough to have had time to hurdle the extra training tests required to join the counter-terrorism unit, yet young enough to stand the body-punishing harshness of the job. The shooter’s a man, it’s safe to say, because there are no women in the SEALs. And there’s a good chance he’s white, though the SEALs have stepped up efforts to increase the number of minorities in their ranks, Marcinko and Smith say.
He was probably a high school or college athlete, Smith says, a physical specimen who combines strength, speed and wisdom. “They call themselves ‘tactical athletes,’ “ says Smith, who works with many future SEALs in his Heroes of Tomorrow training program in Severna Park. “It’s getting very scientific.”
Marcinko puts it in more conventional terms: “He’ll be ripped,” says the author of the best-selling autobiography “Rogue Warrior.” “He’s got a lot of upper-body strength. Long arms. Thin waist. Flat stomach.”
On this point, Greitens departs a bit. “You can’t make a lot of physical assumptions,” says the author of “The Heart and the Fist: The Education of a Humanitarian, the Making of a Navy SEAL.” There are SEALs who are 5 feet 4 and SEALs who are 6 feet 5, Greitens says. In his training group, he adds, there were college football boys who couldn’t hack it; those who survived were most often men in good shape, but they also had a willingness to show their concerns in favor of the mission.
The shooter’s probably not the crew-cut（平头）, neatly shaven ideal we’ve come to expect from American fighting forces. “He’s bearded, rough-looking, like a street naughty boy,” Marcinko supposes. “You don’t want to stick out.” Marcinko calls it “modified grooming standards.”
His hands will be calloused（长老茧）, Smith says, or just rough enough,” as Marcinko puts it. And “he’s got frag in him somewhere,” Marcinko says, using the battlefield shorthand for “fragments” of bullets or explosive devices. This will not have been the shooter’s first adventure. Marcinko estimates that he might have made a dozen or more deployments（部署）, tours when he was likely to have dealt with quite a number of dangerous situations, getting ready any time for explosive devices or bullets.
63. Which of the following is most likely to be the title of the passage?
A. Who shot Bin Laden?                        B. What do the SEALS do?
C. How can boys be SEALS?                   D. What SEALS are like?
64. From the passage we can know that the writer ___________.
A. knows clearly what the shooter is like                 B. doubts whether Bin Laden is dead
B. is certain that the shooter is a man                     D. is not sure of the shooter’s gender
65. We can say for sure according to the passage that ___________.
A. the shooter will eventually be revealed in the Press
B. the writer is a person who is curious about the shooter
C. the writer is a detective who tries to arrest the shooter
D. the shooter is a strong man with a pair of rough hands
66. Which of the following are the names of writers mentioned in the passage?
①. Marcinko ②. Greitens ③. Smith ④. Abbottabad
A. ①②                          B. ②③                        C. ③④                        D. ①④

Throughout the 1990s and 2000s until today, Domingo continued performing, singing many of the same roles but adding new roles as well, among them the title roles inWagner‘sParsifal andMozart‘sIdomeneo,Rossini‘sIl barbiere di Siviglia as Figaro, Wagner’sDie Walküre as Siegmund,Lehár‘sThe Merry Widow as Danilo andAlfano‘sCyrano de Bergerac as Cyrano. From the middle 1990s to early in 2008 alone, he added 38 new roles, covering opera in six different languages (English, Italian, French, German, Russian and Spanish). The latest was the Italian opera byGeorge Frideric Handel,Tamerlano.
Giving him even greater international recognition outside of the world of opera, he participated inThe Three Tenors（男高音）concert at the eve of the1990 FIFA World Cup Final in Rome withJosé Carreras andLuciano Pavarotti. The event was originally planned to raise money for the José Carreras International Leukemia（白血病）Foundation and was later repeated a number of times, including at the three later World Cup finals (1994 in Los Angeles,1998 in Paris, and2002 inYokohama). Alone, Domingo again made an appearance at the final of the2006 World Cup in Berlin, along with rising starsAnna Netrebko andRolando Villazón. On 24 August 2008, Domingo performed a duet withSong Zuying, singing Ài de Huǒyàn (The Flame of Love) at the2008 Summer Olympics closing ceremony in Beijing. The Beijing Olympics were the second Olympics he performed at; he sang theOlympic Hymn at the closing ceremonies of theBarcelona Olympics. At theOlympic games that followed, he would meetSissel Kyrkjebø, who performed the Olympic Hymn at both the opening and closing ceremonies at those games.
In what has been called his ‘final career move’, Plácido Domingo announced on 25 January 2007 that in 2009 he would take on one ofVerdi‘s most demanding baritone（男中音）roles, singing the title role inSimon Boccanegra. The first performance was at Berlin State Opera on October 24, followed by 29 other performances during 2009/2010 at major opera houses around the world. He would, however, continue to sing tenor roles beforehand and afterwards.
On 16–17 April 2008 he sang during the visit ofPope Benedict XVI atNationals Park and at the Italian embassy inWashington D.C. Since 1990 Plácido Domingo has received many awards and honors for his achievement in the field of music and in recognition of his many benefit concerts and contributions to various charities.
On 15 March 2009, TheMetropolitan Opera celebrated Domingo’s 40th anniversary with the company with an on-stage gala dinner at the Met’s 125th anniversary, in honour of his first performance inAdriana Lecouvreur as Maurizio opposite Renata Tebaldi on 28 September 1968.
On 29 August 2009 he sangPanis Angelicus at the funeral mass ofSenator Ted Kennedy in the Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help inBoston, Massachusetts.
On September 20, 2010, Domingo announced that he would renew his contract as General Director of the Los Angeles Opera through 2013. On September 27, 2010, Domingo announced that he will not renew his contract as General Director of the Washington National Opera beyond its June 2011 expiration date.
Ever a sympathetic colleague, in March 2011 he refused to sing in Buenos Aires until the city settled a bitter musicians strike at the Teatro Colon.
67. What can we conclude from the passage?
A. Domingo can only sing in six different languages.
B. Domingo won many awards because he sang a lot.
C. José Carreras was later diagnosed with Leukemia.
D. Domingo enjoyed world-wide popularity as a Tenor.
68. Domingo does the following EXCEPT ___________.

Federal Hocking High School in Stewart, Ohio, draws its360students from a 270-square-mile rural area of the state’s southeast corner.
In the early 1990s, teachers and students were not at all motivated. The school, says social studies teacher Deborah Burk, was sticking to the 19th-century concept of dividing the day into 42-minute periods (still common in many schools across the country), with each period counted as a credit toward graduation. Back then, Burk says, students focused more on the clock than on what she was saying. They weren’t entirely to blame. The system, she felt, didn’t let her do much beyond repeating the same lectures over and over: There wasn’t time to challenge students to research into details. “You couldn’t analyze their progress -- or even think about it.”
In 1992, Dr. George H. Wood, an Ohio University education professor who’d never run a high school, was named principal. He asked students for their ideas, organized visits to programs around the country, and met frequently with staff. The result: Time passed quickly. With some arm-twisting of superintendents and state lawmakers, Federal Hocking moved from the tiresome credit system to a less-is-more schedule tied to four 80-minute classes. “We decided,” Wood says, “to teach fewer things better.” In American history, for example, the emphasis changed from devoting equal time to every era to focusing on big events.
The school developed its own credit system based on important studies but added other requirements -- a senior portfolio, and a yearlong project created by the students that’s not always linked directly to their coursework. Project topics range from writing a world-foods cookbook to the restoration of an old tractor. Graduation based just on racking up a set number of credits was no longer possible.
Other changes followed. The seven-minute daily homeroom period -- basically an attendance call -- was replaced by an hour-long advisory meeting every Wednesday morning. Each teacher advises the same 14 or 15 kids through high school. Wood, meanwhile, never lowered his strict academic standards. “Everybody here reads Shakespeare, Emerson and Thoreau,” he says, “even kids who are going to be mechanics.”
Teacher Tim Arnold says the schedule changes had an effect similar to the flipping（弹开）of a switch: “The pressure was released. Instead of looking at the clock, we could look at the students. On the first day we all went ‘Wow! That was cool.’”
Between the 1995-96 and 2003-04 school years, the percentage of the school’s ninth-graders that passed Ohio’s math proficiency test rose from 50 percent to 85 percent. Passing grades in reading shot from 69 percent to 96 percent. And honors diplomas jumped from 8 percent to 20 percent. “We don’t focus on test scores,” Wood says, “but it’s clear that if you pay attention to the overall culture of the school, the test scores will rise.”

One possible version:
Recently, parents, students and teachers sometimes care much about test results, especially when kids fail.
Some parents, when their kids fail in an exam, choose to yell at their kids and complain much about present education system while their kids would blame the bad results on teachers. Teachers, who always work hardest, have more complaints like lack of co-operation from parents and less hard work of students. What should be the appropriate attitude towards test results is always under hot discussion. Gladly, most parents nowadays are quite aware of their own responsibilities. They would co-operate more with teachers afterwards and give enough guidance to their kids. Teachers will undoubtedly re-consider and thus improve their teaching methods aiming to increase classroom efficiency. Students will certainly study harder.
In my opinion, it is always the best for family, students and schools to co-operate closely. When kids fail, everybody should be brave enough to bear responsibilities and find practical solutions to avoid similar mistakes. It surely benefits a lot in the construction of a harmonious society as well as forming a friendly relationship between families and schools.（158词）

Back to the news. Last Friday a storm hit two villages destroying four teen houses. Seven others were so badly damaged that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows. One person was killed, and nine were badly injured and taken to hospital. A number of other people received small injuries. Altogether over two hundred were left homeless as a result of the storm.
A farmer said the storm began early in the morning and lasted over an hour. He was in the kitchen with his wife and his children when they heard a loud noise. A few minutes later their house fell down on top of them. They managed to climb out but then he saw that one of his children was missing. He went back inside and found him safe but very frightened.
A woman said that her husband had just left for work when she noticed that her house was shaking. She rushed outside immediately with here chil­dren. There was no time for her to take anything. A few minutes later, the roof came down.
Soldiers went to the area to help the people in trouble.
