The purpose of writing this passage is to _. A. ask grown-ups to visit museums B. introduce some exhibits a
27、nd museums to foreigners C. pare some museums and decide which one is the best D. introduce some museums and encourage parents to visit them with their childrenB About ten days ago, I started to write an article on a parenting subject. I wish I could publish （出版）it. But in the days between the writi
28、ng and the publishing, an unfortunate thing happened. My article discussing the lost art of walking to school was finished three days before an 8-year-old boy named Leiby Kletzky in Brooklyn tried to walk home for the first time from his summer camp. Today I will not describe the details around the
29、Leiby Kletzky killing, except to point out the obvious fact that it terrified every parent who heard about it. What happened this week is one of the biggest reasons why so few kids walk to school now. In theory, walking to school is a wonderful habit, which can teach children independence, introduce
30、 them to their neighborhoods and encourage physical activity. Its better for the environment, eases traffic and is just generally the most fun choice. However, many of us parents dont allow the habit, mentioning the problems of logistics（后勤）and distance. What we talk about less often is our fear. Ma
31、ybe thats the heart of the matter. Indeed, it is an understandable reaction. But it is not a necessary one. What happened this week is extremely rare. Separating out the fact from the feelings is a difficult thing to do. Very few of us were ready to breathe easy about sending our young children off
32、by themselves no matter what happened. We are far more worried now. The good news is that we dont have to be. Those children who go to school by themselves can be escorted（护送）when the neighborhood forms a “walking school bus”. Thats when designated（指定的）parents walk with groups of children from home
33、to school. With the benefit of safety, it allows kids to enjoy one of the joys of childhood. Its an easy, affordable choice. A walking school bus is a good idea that parents thought of. Proper measures are usually out there. Sometimes all they take is a little cooperation and some courage. 49. The a
34、rticle mentioned in Paragraph 1 was about _. A. a terrible accident in Brooklyn B. the benefit of walking to school C. the authors opinions about childrens safety D. the relationship between parents and children50. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to “_”. A. the habit B. the distance C
35、. our fear D. the accident51. What is the authors attitude towards walking school bus? A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Worried. D. Changing. C Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that theres a big difference between “being a writer”
36、 and writing. In most cases these people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “Youve got to want to write, ”I say to them, “not want to be a writer. ” The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying thing. For every writer kissed by fortune ther
37、e are thousands more whose wishes are never rewarded. When I left a 20-year job in the U. S. Coast Guard to bee a freelance writer, I had no hopes at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didnt even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I
38、immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a real writer. After a year or so, however, I still hadnt got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I hardly made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasnt going to be one
39、 of those people who die wondering：What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadow（阴影）land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. 52. The passage is meant to _. A. encourage young people to se
40、ek good jobs B. advise young people to give up their idea of being a writer C. show young people its unrealistic for writers to seek wealth and fame D. warn young people of the suffering a successful writer has to experience53. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his wr
41、iting work? A. He hadnt seen a change for the better. B. He wasnt able to produce a single book. C. He found his dream would never e true. D. He wasnt able to have a rest for a whole year. 54. What can be concluded from the passage? A. Famous writers usually live a poor and lonely life. B. The chanc
42、es for a writer to bee successful are small. C. Writers often find their work interesting and rewarding. D. A writers success depends on luck rather than on efforts. D The hole in the Earths ozone layer（臭氧层）has until now protected Antarctica from the worst effects of global warming. But scientists h
43、ave warned that as the hole closes up in the next few decades, temperatures on the continent could rise by around 3, with melting（融化）ice leading to a global sea level increase of up to 1.4 meters. In the past decades the western Antarctica has seen rapid ice loss as the world has warmed, but the oth
44、er parts of the continent have been cooling, resulting in a 10% increase in ice in the seas around the area. This is because the hole in the ozone layer has increased cold winds in Antarctica, making much of the continent surface colder than usual. But now that the gasses that cause the ozone hole h
45、ave not been allowed, scientists expect the hole to repair itself within the next 50 to 60 years. By then the cooling effect will have disappeared slowly and the Antarctic will face the full influence of global warming. This means an increase in air temperatures of around 3 and a reduction in sea ice by around a third. The biggest threat（威胁）to the continent es from warming seas. Robert Johnson, a scientist who checks Antarctica ice sheets, said, “The ice sheets in Antarctica are hundreds of metres thick. But once warm ocean waters start
