ANXIOUS parents in the areas around Washington , US , accompanied（陪伴）their children to school , or kept them at home , after a middle - school student became victim（受害者）No.8 , in a series of shootings in the area . The shootings started on October 2 .
The 13 - year - old youth , an eighth - grader , was struck in the chest by a high - powered bullet on October 7 . He was hit as he was being dropped off in front of his school by his aunt on October 7 .
“I can’t stop going to work , the children can’t stop going to school . ” said Henry Ollie , 48 . He led his 12 - year - old son , Charles , to the front door of the school , where the latest shooting happened . Ordinarily , Charles takes the bus .
Some buses arrived at schools carrying fewer students than usual . And schools where parents usually line up their cars to drop off youngsters had no traffic problems because so many parents had kept their children at home .
The middle school boy is still in bad condition after having about two and a half hours of operation on the night of the shooting . He is the youngest of the nine victims , including one who was shot dead on October 9 .
All the victims , seven dead and two wounded , were in public place doing ordinary things . They were working at grass , filling a gas tank or walking into a supermarket .
“All of our victims have been defenceless , but to kill children is one step too far . Our children don’t deserve this , ” said Police Chief Charles Moose . (From New York Times )
56. How many victims had been killed in the series of shootings around Washington before October 7th ?
A. Seven . B. Six . C. Nine . D. Eight .
57. Why did many parents keep their children at home ?

（B）
One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one’s mistakes . It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that , ” and it is even harder to say , “I was wrong , and you were right about that .” I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago . He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up , and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons（纸箱）. Then he talked of an incident and I began to remember the incident he was describing .
I was about eight years old at the time , and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping . On that particular day , I must have found my way to the food department where the incident took place .
There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was a big show of eggs in dozen and half - dozen cartons . The cartons were put three or four feet high . I must have stopped in front of them to admire the show . Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the pile of cartons . For some reason , I decided it was up to me to put the cartons back together , so I went to work .
The manager heard the noise and came pushing over to see what had happened . When he appeared , I was on my knees checking some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken , but to him it looked as though I was the person who was to blame . He scolded me loud and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs . My face turned red and I tried to explain , but it did no good . Even though I quickly forgot the incident , but the manager did not .
59. How old was the author when he wrote this article ?

（C）
It seems strange that while three - quarters of the world’s surface is covered with water , getting an adequate（充足的）supply of it that’s fresh , clean , and safe to use for drinking , cooking and washing , is one of the most important problems that faces humanity . Most of the earth’s water is salt water in the oceans , only three per cent is fresh and only a small part of that is possible . It may be trapped deep underground , and anyway unequally exist around the globe , so the happening of droughts and floods . Of the remaining fresh water , much is polluted and dangerous to use .
A large part of UNICEF’s work is bringing safe water to people and educating them in basic hearth care . Some diseases spread by polluted water are the most common causes of death and illness in children under five in the developing world .
Although water gives life , it can also carry some kinds of disease - a leading cause of blindness among children . Mosquitoes , and flies that live near in water bring yellow fever , malaria（疟疾）and sleeping sickness , so good piped water supplies are needed to reduce the need for people to gather in such an area .
In the country , women and children spend a major part of their time going out to collect water , often walking many miles each day to provide just the limited family needs for cooking washing and drinking . And they can’t carry much while walking over rough fields bearing a heavy bucket .
Because children have to play their part in family life , and that includes getting water , they may be unable to go to school , or be so tired when they get there that they have difficulty learning . They may even have to spend the whole day without a drink as there may not be any clean water there , either .
Last year , UNICEF（联合国儿童基金会）aimed to get almost 90,000 water systems saved up , to benefit 20 million people , working where it is most badly needed , often just to ensure keeping alive . A well may mean the difference between life and death .
63. What is the main reason for the inadequate supply of fresh water ?
A. Most of it is polluted .
B. Most of it is almost impossible to get .
C. Most of it is in the sea .
D. Floods and droughts have taken place time and again .
64. Which of the following statements is NOT true ?
A. Water can spread diseases .
B. There would be no life without water .
C. Water has something to do with some children’s death and illness .
D. Some children become blind because of water .
65. The purpose of this passage is to _______ .
A. inform the reader B. comfort the reader
C. persuade the reader D. frighten the reader
66. Children help to collect water because _______ .
A. they are not able to go to school
B. they have to spend the whole day without a drink
C. they have difficulty learning
D. they must help their parents with housework
（D）
Why does cream go bad faster than butter ? Some researchers think they have the answer , and it comes down to the structure（结构）of the food , not its chemical composition（成份） finding that could help break away from some chemicals . Cream and butter contain pretty much the same things , so why cream should go bad much faster has been a problem . Both are small globules（小球）of one liquid spread throughout another . The difference lies in what’s in the globules and what’s in the surrounding liquid , says Brocklehurst , who led the research . In cream , fatty globules drift about in a sea of water . In butter , globules of a watery road are locked away in a sea of fat . The bacteria（细菌）which make the food go bad prefer to live in the watery are as of the mixture . “This means that in cream , the bacteria are free to grow throughout the mixture ,” he says . When in butter , the bacteria are locked away in locked places buried deep in the sea of fat . Trapped in this way , those colonies cannot spread and rapidly run out . They also slowly poison themselves with their waste products . “In butter , you get a self - limiting system which stops the bacteria growing ,” says Brocklehurst . The researchers are already working with food companies eager to see if their products can be made to stand bacterial attack through changes of the foods structure . Brocklehurst believes it will be possible to make something used in salad cream for instance , more like that in butter . The key will be to do this while keeping the salad cream liquid and not turning it into a solid state .
67. The significance of Brocklehurst’s research is that _______ .
A. it suggested a way to keep some foods fresh without using some chemicals
B. it discovered small globules in both cream and butter
C. it showed the secret of how bacteria increase in cream and butter
D. it found that cream and butter share the same chemical composition
68. According to the researchers , cream goes bad faster than butter because bacteria _______ .
A. are stronger in cream
B. increase their number more easily in cream than in butter
C. live on less fat in cream than in butter
D. produce less waste in cream than in butter
69. According to Broklehurst , we can keep cream fresh by _______ .
A. removing its fat B. killing the bacteria
C. reducing its water D. changing its structure
70. The underlined word “colonies” refers to _______ .
A. tiny globules B. watery regions
C. bacteria society D. little departments
71. Commercial use of the research finding will be possible if salad cream can be made to stand bacterial attack _______ .
A. by changing its chemical composition
B. by turning it into a solid lump
C. while keeping its structure unchanged
D. while its liquid form remains
