17．Tom Brennan was working in a Philadelphia office building when he noticed a black bag．The bag contained a book．
This chance discovery ended a 12-day search by the Library Company of Philadelphia for a historical treasure-a 120-page diary kept 190years ago by Deborah Logan，"a woman who knew everybody in her day，"James Green，the librarian told the magazine American Libraries．
Most of the diary is a record of big events in Philadelphia．It also includes a description of British soldiers burning Washington D．C．in the war of 1812．She describes President James Madison on horseback as"perfectly shaking with fear"during the troubled days．George Washington，she writes，mistook her for the wife of a French man and praised her excellent English．
The adventure of the lost book began on September 4when Cory Luxmoore arrived from England to deliver the diary of his ancestor（祖先）to the Library Company，which he and his wife considered to be the best home for the diary．
Green told American Libraries he had the diary in his possession"about five minutes"when Luxmoore took it back because he had promised to show it to one other person．On returning to his hotel after showing the precious book to Green，Luxmoore was shocked to realize that he had left it in the taxi．
Without any delay，Green began calling every taxi company in the city，with no luck，"I've felt sick since then，"Luxmoore told reporters．According to Green，no one has yet learned how the diary came to the office building．
Tom Brennan received a reward（奖励）of 1，000，Philadelphia gained another treasure for its history，and Luxmoore told reporters，"It's wonderful news．I'm on high"．

分析本文主要讲述一本120页被保存了190年的日记，Cory Luxmoore从英格兰来将其祖先的日记交付给图书馆公司的过程中不慎遗失，而经过12天后，又被找到的故事．

解答 61--65 ACBBD
61．A 主旨大意题．通读全文不难看出这篇文章的主要内容是关于日记的运送、丢失和失而复得的过程．故选A．
62．C 细节理解题．根据第四段The adventure of the lost book began September 4 when Cory Luxmoore arrived from England to deliver the diary to his ancestor to the Library Company，which he and his wife considered to be the best home for the diary．可知，Cory Luxmoore从英格兰来将其祖先的日记交付给图书馆公司，被他和妻子认为是日记最好归宿的地方．故选C．
63．B 细节理解题．根据第三段Most of the diary is a record of big events in Philadelphia．可知，这篇日记讲述的是有关Philadelphia的故事．故选B．

点评人物故事类阅读理解文章是高考英语常考材料之一．这类文章一般可分为人物传记和短篇故事两类．这两类阅读材料一般较长，即词数多，而且命题也较多，特别是推理判断题和事实细节题多．在做此类阅读理解题时往往是材料看得懂，题目不好做的感觉．因此，在阅读材料时要重点放在事情发展的过程和结果上，注意把握事件的发展进程及人物之间的关系，细节与主题的关系，用以说明人物性格特点的事实、作者的态度等，这些内容往往是推理判断题的命题点．至于事实细节题的解答，同学们切忌想当然或者凭印象，一定要找到文章中的原句，和题干进行比较，再做出正确选择．

8．Ideas about education are changing in the United States．Education today is not just a high school diploma（文凭） or a college degree．Many adults are not interested in going to college．They are interested in other kinds of learning．For them，learning does not end with a diploma．
Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a new field．It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones．
Scientists，mechanics and barbers can take classes to improve their work skills．If they know more or learn more，they can get a better job or earn more money．
Continuing education classes give more adults the chances to learn new skills．There are different classes to choose from：typing，foreign cooking，photography，auto repair，furniture repair，or swimming．These are only some of the classes available．
Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them．Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves．

12．Black Box
You never see them，but they're with you every time you fly．They record where you're going，how fast you're traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally．Their ability to resist almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic （漫画） book．They're known as the black box．
When planes fall from the sky，as a Yemeni airliner did on its way to the Comoros Islands in the Indian Ocean on June 30，2009，the black box is the best method for identifying what went wrong．So when a French submarine（潜水艇） discovered its homing signal five days later，it marked a huge step toward determining the cause of the disaster in which 152passengers were killed．
In 1958．Australian scientist David Warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction．That was the first model for a black box，which became a requirement on all US commercial flights by 1960．Early models often failed to resist crashes，however，so in 1965it was completely redesigned．That same year，the Federal Aviation Authority required that the boxes，which were never actually black，be painted orange or yellow to be easier to see．
Modem airplanes have two black boxes：a voice recorder，which tracks pilots'conversations，and a flight-data recorder，which monitors fuel levels，engine noises and other operating functions that help experts reconstruct the aircraft's final moments．The boxes can resist powerful force and temperatures up t0 2，OOOoF．They're also able to send out signals from depths of 20，000ft．Experts believe the boxes from Air France Flight 447，which crashed near Brazil on June 1，2009，are in water nearly that deep，but statistics say they're still likely to turn up．In the approximately 20deep-sea crashes over the past 30years，only one plane's black boxes were never recovered．

67．What can we leam about the black box from the passage？C
A．It helps an airplane function normally．
B．Its ability to avoid disasters is amazing．
C．It is necessary equipment on an airplane．
D．The idea for its design comes from a comic book．
68．From the black box on the Yemeni airliner we can get information aboutB．
A．the scene of the crash and the damage
B．data for analyzing the cause of the crash
C．the total number of passengers on board
D．homing signals sent by the pilot before the crash
69．The Federal Aviation Authority required the black boxes be painted orange or yellow toA
A．make them easily identified
B．meet the international standards
C．caution people to handle them with care
D．distinguish them from the color of the plane
70．What do we know about the black boxes from Air France Flight 447？D
A．They have stopped sending homing signals．
B．They were destroyed somewhere near Brazil．
C．There is an urgent need for them to be restructured．
D．There is still a good chance of their being recovered．
