One spring, my aunt taught my sister, Lucy, and me hw t fly the kite.

My aunt came t ur rescue and rlling up the tail frm the tree, my aunt led us t find a mre pen space t try again. Lucy tssed the kite up just as I ran ff. It rse up and danced unsteadily in the air fr a few secnds and then dwn came the kite t the grund like a frustrated lnely by.
“A few disappintments ught nt t discurage yu. I have wund up yur string and nw try again” my aunt said patiently. And we did try and succeed. The kite was carrying upward n the breeze like a merry feather. Hlding fast t the stick and gazing n the kite, Lucy and I std in great delight and excitement.

Be black r white, the exact clr f a persn’s skin is determined by a cmbinatin f his parentage and randm chance and it affects hw every single persn treats yu. Yu can’t take yur skin ff, even if yu’re terrified r ashamed t wear it, even if yu’re sick and tired f wearing it.
Freddie Gray, wh was arrested in 2016 fr pssessing a legal knife and died in plice custdy(拘留), was brn Black. Tamir Rice , wh barely lived mre than ne being Black, was sht at the age f 12 fr playing with a ty gun in 2014. Brenna Taylr, wh was sht and killed in March when tw plainclthes plice fficers entered her apartment unannunced, didn’t chse t be Black. But the plice fficers wh sht her chse their careers. They chse t sht her, t. Plice acrss America als chse t sht 336 ther unarmed Black peple frm 2013-2019.
Each f these victims did nt pssess a weapn at the time f their murder, and in all but few f the cases they lst their lives because smene "thught" they were reaching fr a gun that turned ut t be a wallet, cell phne r nthing at all. This is abslutely unacceptable. We're nt saying they shuldn't have been captured with all necessary frce and imprisned accrdingly. A criminal is a criminal and shuld be handled as such. But even a criminal, as lng as he lives in this great cuntry, is an American wrthy f justified handling and a fair trial.
Black peple dn’t get t sign up fr lives f discriminatin and terrr. They ften fund themselves mving thrugh wave upn wave f white faces that usually mirrred the same emtins—shck, disbelief and anger. It is the fear f black skin that plays a part in each f these murders. African Americans can n lnger tlerate the unjustified killings f their lved nes. As a cuntry, it’s time t start effective dialgues t end this pitiless trend. It has t be a lng struggle and pain befre Black peple vercme prejudice t win the chance f being understd by white nes.
28. What is the authr’s purpse f mentining the murders in Paragraph 2?
A. T prvide examples f unjustified killings f Black peple.
B. T give an explanatin why plice fficers chse t sht black peple.
C. T ffer a descriptin f Plice fficers’ hatred twards black peple.
D. T make an analysis f hw hard lives black peple were living.
29. What is the authr’s attitude twards the killings mentined in the text？
A. Frgiving. B. Cautius. C. Disapprving. D. Indifferent.
30. What can we infer frm the text?
A. The prcess f vercming prejudice twards the black is n its way.
B. Black peple are ashamed t wear their skin clr which leads t injustice.
C. Black peple will turn t vilence t stp the unjustified killings amng them.

As a “majr” at university, philsphy may nt be s ppular nwadays, fr it seems t be t abstract, remte and impractical, unlike subjects such as cmputing, finance, accunting and s n.
Fundamentally speaking, the wrd “philsphy”，riginated frm the Greek Φιλοσοφία meaning “lve f wisdm”, riginally included all kinds f knwledge. In that wrld dminated by supernatural gds, philsphers and scientists were the same, and their wisdm was started by asking questins. They believed that everything in the wrld is cmpsed f air and attempted t examine the air and the sun --- these quests develped their wisdm.
The relatins between man and the wrld may be divided int three categries, namely the relatinships between man and nature, man and sciety and within the human self, which are studied separately by the natural sciences, such as physics, chemistry, mathematics, bilgy; scial sciences, such as scilgy, ecnmics, plitics, law, ethics; and sciences f thinking, such as brain science, neurscience(神经学)，psychlgy, lgic. Philsphy, hwever, is nne f these branches f learning but their abstractin and generalizatin.
The benefits f studying philsphy may be realized as fllws: First, it assists peple t prperly adjust the relatins between nature, sciety and the self, becming fully aware f where they stand macrcsmically(宏观地)and micrcsmically. Secnd, it makes peple think mre systematically, cmbining varius "separated materials". Essentially, philsphy is the study f thinking, analyzing issues frm different angles befre anything can be taken in. Special attentin is paid t strict reflectin during every stage f thinking and this prcess itself is included as part f its study, s as t frm a pattern f clear critical thinking. Third, philsphy can als shape ne’s character. Difficult thinking, reasning and summarizing result in peple becming firmer and mre persistent in a deep sense. Since philsphy is finally abut living, it leads t an appreciatin f meaningful life thrugh perfecting persnality.
In a sense, philsphy is in fact widely applicable and has been studied and acquired by experts f natural and scial sciences and many philsphers, bth at hme and abrad, wh have becme celebrities either in their specialist fields f study r in their switched prfessins as generalists.
Therefre, philsphy is nt abstract, nr remte, but f prfund use.
Hw is the secnd paragraph mainly develped?
By classificatin.
By time.
By definitin.
By cmparisn.
Which is NOT ne f the relatins between man and the wrld?
A. t understand nature.B. t understand humans.
C. t understand lgic.D. t understand sciety.
What benefit can peple get frm learning philsphy?
Peple can becme fully aware f the standing place n the earth.
Peple can becme firmer and seldm change their ideas.
Peple will have a simple understanding f the life thrugh appreciatin.
Peple will frm an pinin after viewing a matter frm different aspects.
Whatcan be learned abut philsphy?
It is remte frm peple’s life and has n prfund use.
It is filled with wisdm and was established by supernatural gds.
It is widely btained and used by many natural and scial experts.
It is ne f the branches f the natural sciences.

39 It's nt just what yu say but hw yu say it that matters. Alng with the actual wrds, yu als use vlume, tne and pauses t cnvey yur message. Fr instance, a lwer-pitched whisper may dente sadness r insecurity, whereas a higher-pitched shut culd shw anger r intensity. Chances are that anyne listening t yu culd easily identify yur emtins withut even seeing yu. If yu feel the need t speak luder, just be aware that raising yur vice can alter the message yu are trying t send. Changing the tne f yur vice can change the whle cnversatin. 40
A. Becme aware f yur wn bdy language, t.
B. S instead f increasing vlume, try talking clearly.

Attentin, listeners. I have sme breaking news t reprt. A large earthquake hit nrthern Califrnia at 10:00 a.m. tday. Earthquakes are cmmn in Califrnia, but this is the wrst that we’ve seen in twenty years. Emergency rescue teams are n the scene nw. Thankfully, n peple gt injured. The center f the earthquake was in the middle f wine cuntry. There aren’t many peple ut there — just fields f grapes. (18) Hwever, there was huge damage t buildings within a fifty-mile area. (19) We are getting reprts f $100,000 in damages t buildings and fields. Thse are sme expensive wine peratins. There are still a few small quakes happening in the last few hurs since nn, but they d nt present any real danger. I wuld still suggest staying utside f buildings fr nw until we knw the quaking is ver. If yu knw anyne that lives in the area that was damaged, yu shuld try t cntact them t see if they’re kay. (20) We will keep yu updated later tnight n any further develpments cncerning the situatin.
