It was in the morning. Port Richard, a boy of twelve, was standing at the foot of the stairway (梯子) up to the Panama. He had left home early, against his father’s wishes, to see the ships at the port. Suddenly he saw a small fire at one end of the Panama. But there was nobody else around, and in no time, the fire grew dangerously big.
Seeing this, the boy shouted at the top of his voice. His shout woke up the port (港口) workers living nearby, who were enjoying a Sunday morning in bed.
The Panama was among the six ships in the port where there were lots of old buildings, shops and houses nearby. It was carrying oil, paint (油漆) and paper from the Far East.
The fire burned a great deal of paper, which was why it spread (蔓延) very quickly. The end of the ship was now black with smoke, but thanks to the boy, the fire didn’t reach the paint or oil.
The boy was also lucky, but his father was more angry than pleased with him.

A book which is still being discussed by many Americans today is Future Shock by Alvin Toffler. In this book the author describes the great changes which have been made in family life because of science and industry.
In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Often, two uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life, families became smaller. Industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary. Large families cannot be moved from one place to place as smaller families can.
Today, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical family may
remain childless and consist only of a man and a woman. A small number of families may raise children. These families may raise children as their chief occupation, leaving the childless families free to move from job to job. Furthermore (此外), these child-raising families may raise other people’s children in addition to their own.
51. Science and industry have made great changes ______.
A. in family life B. on farms C. in agriculture D. in farming
52. A typical family in the past _____.
A. was usually large
B. was easy to move here and there
C. was strong with all the relatives living together
D. was being discussed at that time
53. Families became smaller, because in American life ______.
A. industry became more important than agriculture
B. agriculture requires workers to move off whenever necessary
C. agriculture became more important than industry
D. agriculture requires small families
54. A typical family who raise children in the future may _______.
A. be made up of only husband and wife
B. raise as many children as possible
C. leave the other families free to move
D. give their children to others
55. The best title for the passage would be ______.
A. Families are Becoming Smaller
B. Families of the Past, Present, and Future
C. A Typical Family
D. The Great Changes in Family Life

书面表达
One possible version:
Dear Mr. Principal,
I am a senior student of our school. I'd like to say something about the canteen service in our school.
In general, the service is satisfactory. The hall is clean and tidy. The dishes look inviting and taste delicious as well. What's more, the workers there treat us as their friends, which makes us feel very happy.
However, we feel the price of the meals is a little too high, Besides, we can only have a limited variety of dishes with little change every week. In addition, we often have to stand in line for a long time before we can get the meal. You could understand how precious time is to us students. Therefore, may I suggest something be done to solve the problems so that we can all enjoy our meals at school?
Thanks for your consideration.
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua
