for food. it was only a month before christmas, starting to get cold and i could not help thinking about him.so i bought a brush, pack of cigarettes, cans of fish, and then i added a blanket and sweatshirts. i made a box up like a present and went in search of this man. i saw him hobble (蹒跚) away from the dustbin. i pulled over, took the box and went up to him. i said, “i would like to give you a christmas present, there are some food items in here and some things you might be able to use.”he sidestepped around me and said, “no, thank you. i just had lunch. i dont need anything.” then he hobbled on down the sidewalk, leaving me standing there in tears. i took the box down to a little shop that gave things out to the poor and homeless and told them what had happened and asked them to give the box to someone who could use it. the person there told me not to be upset and let my feelings be hurt as i was still crying. i told her i was not crying for me but for him because what i had done took away his dignity（尊严） by treating him like a person in need. i was so ashamed.a few years later i was able to volunteer in st. anthonys dining room in san francisco. these people had to stand in line for up to 6 hours to receive the only food they will get. we took one tray (托盘) of food at a time, and treated them as if they were in a restaurant ordering a meal they were paying for. from

a volcano（火山）explosion will be small or large. now, four scientists say they have discovered something in lava（熔岩）that will help do this. they did the research on mount unzen on the southern japanese island of kyushu.mount unzen exploded in november, 1990. since then, more explosions have killed 43 people and destroyed the homes of more than 2,000 others. the volcano is still active today.the scientists say the lava of the volcano contains high level of an element（成份），which is a sign of the presence of the lava from deep in the earth, not from the surface. they say it shows that the lava coming directly from inside the earth is connected with huge explosions instead of smaller ones.the scientists examined the lava from 18 explosions of mount unzen that took place during many thousands of years. they also studied the lava from other volcanoes in the area that are older than mount unzen. the lava studied came from both large and small explosions. the scientists found that large explosions contained more of the element than small ones. the scientists say if they had known this two years earlier, they could have warned the people living in the area near mount unzen and saved many lives.66. scientists have searched for a long time in order to _.a. tell whether a volcano explosion will be small or largeb. tell whether a volcano explosion will be worthy or notc. tell the number of active volcanoes in the worldd. find if there is any volcano in japan67. from the passage we learn that mount unzen is the name of _.a. an active volcanob. a japanese islandc. a huge volcano explosiond. a kind of lava68. where does lava come from?a. it comes from the deepest part of the ocean.b. it comes from the earth surface.c. not mentioned in the passage.d. it is from deep part in the earth.69. the four scientists discovered that the level of the element contained in the lava could tell _.a. the place of a possible explosionb. the degree of a volcano explosionc. the number of volcano explosionsd. the time of a possible explosion70. the research of the four scientists was based on _.a. the lava from different explosions in the areab. the presence of the lava from the surfacec. the damages caused by the 1990 explosiond. the lava that caused explosions part writing（45 marks）section a （10 marks）directions: read the following passage. fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.write no more than threr words for each answer.museums have changed. they are no longer places that one “should” go to but to enjoy. at a science museum in canada, you can feel your hair stand on end as harmless electricity passes through your body. at the childrens museum in new york, you can play an african drum. there are no “do not touch” sign in some other museums in the usa. more and more museum directors have realized that people learn best when they can become part of what they are seeing. in many science museums, the visitors are encouraged to experience so as to discover scientific rules for themselves. the purpose is not only to provide fun, but also help people feel at home in the world of science. if people dont understand science, they will be afraid of it; and if they are afraid of science, they will not make the best use of it. one cause of all these changes is the increase in wealth and spare time. another cause is that the number of young people grow in the population. many of them are college students or college graduates. they see things in a new and different way. they want art that they can take part in. the same is true of science and history. the old museums have been changing and the government is encouraging the building of new, modern museums. in the states and canada, there are more than 6000 museums, twice as many as there were 25 years ago.title: 71._typesscience museums72._changes73._rulesnum
