The prisoner had waited many months for help, but none had come. Now
he felt he would do something to gain his freedom, to be free again to go about
the world as he wished. But he could think of no way to run away.
He spent many hours thinking of his life before he was captured,
regretting the mistakes he had made and dreaming of the joys he had known. And
over and over he said to himself that he was being punished for no reason. He
was guilty（有罪的）of no
crime, but he had not been given a chance to explain the events which made him
guilty.
Then one night the guard who sat outside the prisoner’s door fell
asleep. When he noticed this, the prisoner was struck by a feeling of hope.

the ring of keys from the guard’s belt. Then he turned and crawled toward the

The custom of playing tricks on friends on April l st is believed to
have originated（起源）in France
in the middle of the 16th
century. Before that time, one calendar was（历法）used throughout Europe. Under this calendar, each new year began on
April l st. On that day, people celebrated by exchanging gifts and visiting
each other. Then in 1564, King Charles LX of France adopted（采用）a new calendar and ordered that
each new year was to begin on January l st. However, while most people followed
their king’s order, there were some who did not like the idea of the change and
refused to accept the New Year’s Day. These people soon became the butt（目标） of jokes and tricks by their
friends and neighbors because they continued to observe April l st as New
Year’s Day. These friends and neighbors sent mock（假的）gifts, invited these people to fake（伪装的）parties, and played tricks on them because they were “April Fools”,
people who insisted on their April new Year’s Day.

Thomas Jefferson was the first president to take office in the new
city, it was already familia to President Jefferson. In fact, Jefferson had
helped plan the capital’s streets and public buildings. Besides being a city
planner, the new President was a writer, a scientist, and the inventor of
several tools.
Jefferson moved into the Presidential Palace after he took office.
The Palace was more than a home, it had offices for the President and some other
men of the government. It also had dining and reception rooms, where the
President could receive his guests. However, president Jefferson did not give
many formal（正式的）parties.
This was partly because there was no First Lady; his wife died in 1782. It was
also because Jefferson liked to live in a simple way. He once showed up for an
important meeting wearing old clothes and worn slippers! Neither Washing nor
Adams would ever have dressed like that.
Jefferson was different from the first two Presidents in other ways,
too. He didn’t agree with them about how the country should be run, and about
what part a President should play in running it.

In order to know a foreign language thoroughly, four things are
necessary. Firstly, we must be able to understand the language when we hear it
spoken. Suddenly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly, with
confidence and without hesitation. Thirdly, we must be able to read the
language, and fourthly, we must be able to write it. We must be able to compose
sentences that are grammatically correct. We must know how to arrange sentences
in paragraphs, so as to write good letter or composition.
There is no easy way to success in language learning. A good memory
is a great help, but it is not enough simply to memorize rules from a grammar
book. It is not much use learning by heart long lists of words and their
meanings.
We must learn words not by themselves, but in sentences.
We must learn by using the language. “learn through use” is a good
piece of advice for those who are studying a new language. Practice is very
important. We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever we can.
72．The passage tells us .
A．to learn a foreign language
B．that four things are necessary in
learning a foreign language

foreign languages

Bradley called his victory “the fulfillment of a dream”. During his youth and
childhood people had kept telling him, “You can’t do this; you can’t go there,
because you’re a Negro.” Nevertheless he had won a decisive victory over a man
who had been the city’s mayor for three terms. Bradley had won 56.3 percent of
the votes.
Los Angeles voters have had
many opportunities to judge Thomas Bradley and to form an opinion of him. The

attending school at night.

better mayor than the white candidate.
听第十段材料，回答第18、19、20三个小题
The American family is
changing. In fact, today there isn’t one typical American family, but rather
there are many types of families. In the past, however, there were more or less
typical U. S. families.
During the first half of this
century, the “average” family had a mother ,a father, and two or more children.
In addition, aunts, uncles, and grandparents would often live with their
relatives in extended family groups. In rural families, the entire family
usually worked together on the farm. In urban families, the father held a job
while the mother was homemaker. In both rural and urban families, the mother
generally took care of the house and children, and divorce was unusual.
By World War II, the typical
family had begun to change. Thousands of farm families had moved to the cities
in search of jobs, and the nuclear family was becoming more common. Large
numbers of women had begun to work outside the home, though most mothers
continued to be housewives.
Since the 1960s, U. S.
families have changed a great deal, partly because of the high divorce rate in
America. Increasing economic pressures have also led to new variations on the
American family. Today, in addition to traditional families, there are single –
parent families, step or blended families, and families with young children
where both parents work full – time.
