In some countries where racial prejudice is acute, violence has so come to be taken for granted as a means of solving differences that it is not even questioned. There are countries where the white man imposes his rule by brute force; there are countries where the black man protests by setting fire to cities. Important people on both sides, who would in other respects appear to be reasonable men, get up and calmly argue in favor of violence—as if it were a legitimate solution, like any other. What is really frightening, what really fills you with despair, is the realization that when it comes to the crunch(关键时刻), we have made no actual progress at all. We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our instincts remain basically unchanged. The whole of the recorded history of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learned that violence never solves a problem but makes it even acute. The sheer horror, the bloodshed(流血), the suffering mean nothing. No solution ever comes to light the morning after when we dismally contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us.

The truly reasonable men who know where the solutions lie are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing. They are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted by their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as law enforcement(执行). If half the energy that goes into violent acts were put to good use, if our efforts were directed at cleaning up the slums and ghettos, at improving living-standards and providing education and employment for all, we would have gone a long way to arriving at a solution. Our strength is sapped by having to mop up the mess that violence leaves in its wake. In a well-directed effort, it would not be impossible to fulfill the ideals of a stable social programme. The benefits that can be derived from constructive solutions are everywhere apparent in the world around us. Genuine and lasting solutions are always possible, providing we work within the framework of the law.

5. Recorded history has taught us ________.

A. violence never solves anything                

B. nothing

C. the bloodshed means nothing                

D. everything

6. It can be inferred that truly reasonable men ________.

A. can't get a hearing                                 

B. are looked down upon

C. are persecuted       

D. have difficulty in advocating law enforcement

7. According to the passage, the best way to solve race prejudice is ________.

A. law enforcement        

B. knowledge         

C. nonviolence       

D. mopping up the violent mess

8. What is the author's attitude towards the violence?

A. Critical.           B. Supportive.

C. Neutral.             D. Sympathetic.

9. What is the BEST title for this passage?

A. Advocating Violence

B. Violence Can Do Nothing to Diminish Race Prejudice

C. Violence as a Legitimate Solution

D. Violence: The Instinct of Human Race

It is a matter of common observation that although money income keeps going up over the years, we never seem to become richer. Prices are rising continuously. This condition is what we call inflation: the money supply is becoming inflated so that each unit of it becomes less valuable. We have got used to higher and higher rates of inflation in recent years. What could be bought twenty years ago for one pound now costs well over 2 pounds. And at present this rate of inflation seems to be rising rather than falling. If in the real world our money incomes go up at the same rate as prices do. One might think that inflation doesn’t matter. But it does ------.When money is losing value it also loses one of the qualities of a good money—stability of value. It is no longer acceptable as a store of value; and it becomes an unsuitable means of delayed payment. Nobody wants to hold a wasting possession, so people try to get rid of money as quickly as possible. Inflation therefore simply stimulates(刺激)our spending and discourages saving.
【小题1】From the passage we can know that inflation is a situation in which________.

A.everyone’s incomes rise
B.money will hold its value
C.we can watch our money grow
D.money constantly loses its value
【小题2】.In the writer’s view, if incomes and prices rise at the same rate, ________.
A.inflation maybe still be a problem
B.we have nothing to worry about
C.inflation is no longer a problem
D.we will become richer and richer
【小题3】.Under inflation people are likely to ________.
A.go to the bank more often than usual
B.save more money since their incomes rise
C.spend money quickly rather than to save it
D.keep money at home instead of going to banks
【小题4】.We can conclude according to the passage that ________.
A.the writer is a government official
B.the writer is worried about inflation
C.the writer encourages people to spend money
D.the writer has become richer because of inflation
【小题5】. Which of the following words is omitted at the end of the underlined sentence “But it does”?

 Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later.
  I am one of those unfortunate people who have poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still get lost on my way there. When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the spot I was heading for.
  I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit that they didn’t know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of directions which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite direction to that in which you should be going.
  If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results.
  Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decide it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting.
  Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.
  60. What is the writer going to do when someone asks him for direction?
     A. He will direct the right way to the person willingly.
     B. He will reply to it by the means of being a stranger to the town.
     C. He will give the very person long list of direction.
     D. He is going to show the man an opposite direction.
  61. Why did the writer consider himself to be an unlucky dog?
     A. Because of his poor sense of direction.
     B. Because he always forget the way to home.
     C. Because he did not have any friend.
     D. Because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way.
  62. How did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room?
     A. He felt strange.                              B. He felt embarrassed.
     C. He felt very sad.                                   D. He felt astonished.
  63. Who showed the right way to the interviewee according to the passage?
     A. Someone we don’t know.                 B. The writer did it for himself.
     C. The secretary did so.                        D. A warm-hearted old lady did it.
