A constant worry that has stayed in the back of my mind since the birth of my eldest son, some sixteen years ago.Through the years, I have witnessed the worlds reaction to my son evolve as he has grown from a small boy to a young man.In his early years, his easy smile and lovable character were nothing less than magnetic(有磁性的)plete strangers would approach him in the street, draw him into conversation, and find themselves easily struck by his lively spirit.Even at that time I worried, how would my son react when in the years to e some of those who found themselves so impressed by this cute, intelligent boy, might grasp_their_purse_tighter as he walked by.Over the years I have sought to protect his spirit from the hurt that es from undeserved hatred.I have also sought to arm him with the knowledge that could one day save his life.He knows, for example, that if he is ever pulled over by the police, that he is to keep_both_hands_on_the_wheel_at_all_times and only reach for his license when the officer is specifically observing his actions.He knows, even in less threatening situations, that rough play and loud interactions with his buddies of any color will be viewed very differently when he does it, than when his white friends display the very same behavior.Still, the truth of the matter is, no amount of advice or voiceless behavior overes the physical, immovable fact of the color of his skin.His intelligence, easy smile, and lovable character wont protect him from unfounded assumptions of criminality.What makes the Trayvon Martin travesty(歪曲) of justice so painful to me, personally, is the knowledge that Trayvons mother loved her baby no less than I love mine.The various pictures of moments throughout a happy childhood that have now found a home on nationwide newscasts provide clear evidence of that.Yet no amount of love and care, and no words of advice could have saved her son from the cruel killing he faced at the hands of a selfappointed neighborhood watchdog.And perhaps even worse, nothing could have prepared her for the inhuman way her son has been treated by officials even in death.To think for three long days, his parents searched for him while officials failed to inform them of his fate and instead, performed drug and alcohol tests on his lifeless body, while failing to do the same for his attackerthe only one of the two who indeed had a criminal past is frankly, unforgivable.To know that the words of her sons killer were given more weight than eyewitnesses and taped evidence of her childs screams and eventual death must be heartbreaking.But to also have to live with the fact that his attacker still breathes free while her son lays buried underground is certainly more than any sorrowful parent should have to endure(忍受)It is this type of pain that is not unfamiliar to the Black experience in America, for this is the Black mothers burden.A burden we have endured for centuries.We know the pain of having our newborn babies grabbed from our loving arms to be sold into lifelong servitude(奴役) and to never again experience the warmth of a mothers loving hug.Yet, there is still the rightful expectation, that in modernday America, the wheels of justice would not be stopped.So today, it is my hope that Trayvons mother, father, family and friends can take some fort in the fact that millions of Americans of every color stand with them in their fight for justice.This is a burden no family should have to endure alone.We will not give up.We will not forget.We will continue the fight until justice is done.1What do you know about Sybrina Fulton? AShe was anxious about her son.BShe was painful to lose her son.CShe had trouble in raising her son.DShe had the same dream as the writer.B解析：细节理解题。根据题干关键词Sybrina Fulton找到文章对应段落是第一段， 根据第二句话中的pain及上下文内容判断选B。2Who does the writer actually refer to when mentioning “grasp their purse tighter” ? APassersby.BWhite people.CTeenagers.DWealthy people.B解析：细节理解题。passersby行人； white people白种人； teenagers青少年； wealthy people富有的人。根据题干关键词grasp their purse tighter找到文章的对应段落是第二段， 根据第一段提到的black, 推断作者在此处提及这一点实际是指的白种人。故选B。3By “keep both hands on the wheel at all times”， the writer means her son should _Aget ready to resist Bremain where he isCshow his innocence Dpretend to be scaredC解析：句意猜测题。get ready to resist准备好抵制； remain where he is留在原处不动； show his innocence显示他的清白； pretend to be scared假装害怕。根据下文的reach for his license判断选C。4From the story of Trayvon Martin, we can infer that _Ahe was killed simply because of his color of skinBhe was accused of taking drug even after his death Che kept silent even when he was being attacked Dthe police failed to find strong evidence against the attackerA解析：推理判断题。根据题干关键词Trayvon Martin找到文章对应段落是第四段， 根据该段的语气和前文的举例推断他的被杀就是因为他的肤色。故选A。5The article is mainly intended to _Adraw attention to the facts about killings Bgive fort to the victims familiesCappeal for the end to the terrible situation Ddisplay hatred for terrible phenomenaC解析：写作意图题。A：引起人们关注杀害的事实； B：安慰牺牲者的家人们； C：呼吁结束这种可怕的形势； D：展示对可怕现象的厌恶。通读全文， 并根据文章的最后两句话判断是为了呼吁人们结束现在的形势而撰写的演讲词。故选C。6Which can be the proper title for the passage? AThe Cruel KillingsBThe Daily Sufferings CThe Black Sons FateDThe Black Mothers BurdenD解析：标题归纳题。The Cruel Killings残酷的杀害； The Daily Sufferings日常的受苦； The Black Sons Fate黑人儿子的命运； The Black Mothers Burden黑人母亲的重担。通读全文， 并根据文章叙述的故事特别是黑人孩子母亲的痛苦判断选D。BHampton Court Motor Cruiser16 Hampton Court RoadTEL：2089771728BBQ facilitiesFree WiFiParkingHampton Court Motor Cruiser is a boat docked on the River Thames.

阅读理解AThe biggest challenge faced by travelers especially those who like to have a backpacking trip is how to ensure a steady supply of clean clothes.Now，thanks to a great invention called the Scrubba Wash Bag，that worry may be a thing of the past.The portable washing machine was invented by Ash Newland in 2010，while he was planning to climb Mt.Kilimanjaro.Struck by the limited packing space，he got inspiration from traditional washboards to create a bag that could be used to clean clothes.Then he quitted his career as a lawyer and focused on perfecting the bags design.By 2012，the bag was ready for the public.It weighed only 180 grams and required very little storage space，making it perfect for anyone wishing to travel light.Not surprisingly，the bag worth 55 dollars was an instant hit with travelers，university students and even passengers.However，Newland was not satisfied.He still saw a disadvantage with his inventiondirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag！The recently introduced Scrubba Wash Bag solves that problem.In order to make the pack active，dirty clothes are placed inside the bag along with two or three liters of water.The bag is then shut tightly to ensure all air is squeezed out and the clothes are massaged for a few minutes.After a quick wash，they are clean and ready to be dried.According to Newland，the pack can clean anything from jeans to smelly socks！Whats even more amazing is that with a capacity to hold 13 liters of water，it can be used to wash more clothes at a time.The best part is that the 99dollar pack that will be available for sale later this year，only weighs 300 grams and is pletely foldable，making it easy to store when its not in use.With the Scrubba Wash Bag，wandering through foreign cities，searching for a laundry，or paying for washing machines may soon be a thing of the past!【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了Scrubba Wash Bag的产生背景和功能。1What led Ash Newland to create the Scrubba Wash Bag?AHis job requirements.BA traditional washboard.CHis

Newland发明出了便携式洗衣机。由于苦恼于有限的背包空间，他从传统的洗衣板中得到灵感而得以创造出一个可以用来洗衣服的背包，故选D项，即Ash Newland因为自己的个人经历而发明了这款背包。2Why wasnt Ash Newland satisfied with his former invention?AClothes couldnt be washed well.BThe invention was not so convenient.CThe bag couldnt contain enough water.DThe cost of the invention was very high.B解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“However，Newland was not satisfied.He still saw a disadvantage with his inventiondirty clothes had to be carried around in a separate bag！”可知，Newland之所以不满意，是因为他发现这个发明有一个缺点脏衣服不得不放在一个分开的包里带来带去，不方便。故B项是正确的。3It can be inferred that the improved Scrubba Wash Bag_Aturns to be much environmentally friendlierBwill replace the traditional washing machinesCwill be widely used by more travelers in the futureDcan encourage more people to travel a long distanceC解析：推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“With the Scrubba Wash Bag.a thing of the past！”可知，有了Scrubba Wash Bag，在国外旅游时寻找洗衣店或者用洗衣机洗衣付费很快就会成为过去。由此可以推知，在将来Scrubba Wash Bag将会被更多的旅游者广泛使用，故选C项。4What is the best title of
