The sound of planes could be heard outside the city of Tangshan even when no planes were in the sky. In the city, the water pipes in some buildings cracked and burst. But the one million people of the city, who thought little of these events, were asleep as usual that night.At 3:42 am everything began to shake. It seemed as if the world was at an end! Eleven kilometers directly below the city one of the greatest earthquakes of the 20th century had begun. It was felt in Beijing, which is more than two hundred kilometers away. One-third of the nation felt it. A huge crack that was eight kilometers long and thirty meters wide cut across houses, roads and canals. Steam burst from holes in the ground. Hard hills of rock became rivers of dirt. In fifteen terrible seconds a large city lay in ruins. The suffering of the people was extreme. Two-thirds of them died or were injured during the earthquake. Thousands of families were killed and many children were left without parents. The number of people who were killed or seriously injured reached more than 400,000.1. What is the main idea of this passage?A. A big earthquake destroyed the city of Tangshan. B. A great shake and a huge crack.C. The suffering of people. D. The number of people killed or injured. 2. What time did the earthquake begin?A. At about 3:00 am. B. At about a quarter to four in the morningC. At early night D. After people getting up3. Which of the following statements is true?A. Beijing is more than two hundred kilometres away from Hebei.B. The huge crack was seven kilometres long.C. Hundreds of families were killed.D. In a very short time a large city became ruins.B.You cannot imagine how the name of Robben Island made us afraid. It was a prison from which no one escaped. There I spent the hardest time of my life. But when I got there Nelson Mandela was also there and he helped me. Mr Mandela began a school for those of us who had little learning. He taught us during the lunch breaks and the evenings when we should have been asleep. We read books under our blankets and used anything we could find to make candles to see the words. I became a good student. I wanted to study for my degree but I was not allowed to do that. Later, Mr Mandela allowed the prison guards to join us. He said they should not be stopped from studying for their degrees. They were not cleverer than me, but they did pass their exams. So I knew I could get a degree too. That made me feel good about myself. When I finished the four years in prison, I went to find a job. Since I was better educated, I got a job working in an office. However, the police found out and told my boss that I had been in prison for blowing up government buildings. So I lost my job. I did not work again for twenty years until Mr Mandela and the ANC came to power in 1994. All that time my wife and children had to beg for food and help from relatives or friends. Luckily Mr Mandela remembered me and gave me a job taking tourists around my old prison on Robben Island. I felt bad the first time I talked to a group. All the terror and fear of that time came back to me. I remembered the beatings and the cruelty of the guards and my friends who had died. I felt I would not be able to do it, but my family encouraged me. They said that the job and the pay from the new South African government were my reward after working all my life for equal rights for the Blacks. So now at 51 I am proud to show visitors over the prison, for I helped to make our people free in their own land. 4.

She also traveled a great deal with her mother and father.As a child she felt that visiting sick people was both a duty and a pleasure. She enjoyed helping them.At last her mind was made up. “Im going to be a nurse，” she decided.“Nursing isnt the right work for a lady,” her father told her.“Then I will make it so,” she smiled. And she went to learn nursing in Germany and France. When she returned to England, Florence started a nursing home. During the Crimean War in 1854 she went with a group of thirtyeight nurses to the front hospital. What they saw there was terrible. Dirt and death were everywhere to be seenand smelled. The officer there did not want any women to tell him how to run a hospital, either. But the brave nurse went to work.Florence used her own money and some from friends to buy clothes, beds, medicine and food for the men. Her only pay was in smiles from the lips of dying soldiers. But they were more than enough for this kind woman.After she returned to England, she was honored for her services by Queen Victoria. But Florence said that her work had just begun. She raised money to build the Nightingale Home for Nurses in London.

Believe it or not, the Great Wall is being destroyed by people. Less than 20 per cent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty is still perfect, but about 80 per cent is in danger. The Great Wall can be called “great” mostly because of its amazing length. But we should realize that the length was made up of one brick at a time. If we do nothing to save the Great Wall, it will bee a series of separate wasteland rather than a historic site.The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2,000 years. It began in the rule of Chinas first emperor, Qin Shi Huang of the Qin Dynasty (221206 BC),and lasted into the Ming Dynasty. The parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared. People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan in Gansu because they have been open to tourists for many years. But those sections far away from the public eyes have been almost forgotten.Few local people knew the three-metre-high walls made of earth and stones beside them are part of the Great Wall. The lack of knowledge is considered as one of the main reasons behind human destruction.The bricks on the Great Wall are carried off by countryside people to build their houses, sheep corrals and pigsties (猪圈). Some are taken away to build roads. Bricks carved with peoples names are put away as remembrances. Rubbish is spread over the battlements (城垛). The bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor load. Those who destroyed and are destroying the Great Wall know its name, but are not clear about its cultural meaning. It will take a long time to let them know this. The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but dug out the entire base.It is necessary to protect the Great Wall. First of all, the officials should be aware of the importance of the Great all. Young Chinese should know more about the nations great civilization and learn to love it.12. The main reason for which the Great Wall can be called “great” is that .A. it is made by brick B. it is very wideC. it is very long D. it has a long history13. Why does the author say the Great Wall might disappear?A. It is useless from now on. B. It will be replaced by a new one.C. Some parts of it are being destroyed.D. Its too old to be used again.14. The underlined part “those sections far away from the public eyes” refers to the parts of the Great Wall .A. that are too difficult to understand B. that nobody can watchC. that are too far to be seen D. that are not well known to the public15. Whats one of the main reasons of the Great Walls being destroyed?A. The local people are short of culture knowledge.B. The local people need bricks and stones to build houses.C. The local people think that the Great Wall is not important.D. The local people are against the government.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。THE RACESo the next day Hippomenes was waiting when Atlanta came out.
