题目列表(包括答案和解析)
A refugee is a person who is unable or unwilling to return to their country because of a fear of persecution (迫害) based on their race, religion, nationality, political opinion or because they belong to a particular social group.
Why Do They Come?
Most refugees flee their country to escape armed conflict(冲突). They often leave with their families and apply for protection in another country. Many of them do not want to leave their own country but have no choice. The journeys they undertake to reach a safe place may be almost as risky as staying in their own country. Many never arrive.
To Help Or Not To Help?
There are an estimated 14 million refugees in the world. Some countries in the world, especially the rich, are firmly against allowing too many refugees coming into their countries. One worry is that there may be too many of them seeking protection therefore causing a great problem for these developed countries. Their next worry is resources. Another worry is the thought that the refugees might not be real. Also, the fact that the country they flee to is culturally different to their own makes the citizens of these developed nations feel that their culture is being stolen from them.
Criminal activity seems to be a growing concern. People worry that those who arrive penniless and without any documents might be criminals or involved in acts of terrorism(恐怖主义).
These negative(消极的) guesses are not true. First of all, numbers indicate that Asia and Africa has the world's highest influx(流入) of refugees. Secondly, most rich or developed countries' economy relies on these refugees as they are the ones who are often more than willing to do the kind of work that no one else would even think of. Finally, it is meaningless for the rich nations to claim that their culture is being stolen by refugees, considering that the refugees are in a minority there.
Perhaps politicians should remind themselves of the fact that these people should be treated humanely(仁慈地).

A. works for the UN
B. likes traveling to different countries
C. leaves their countries because they are afraid of being persecuted

A. There may be too many refugees in their countries.
B. These refugees may steal their culture.
C. Many of them are not real refugees.

B. He is firmly against refugees coming into other countries.
C. He agrees to the point that refugees might become terrorists.
D. He thinks that refugees do great harm to developed countries'economy.
Albert Einstein (1879～1955) was one of the greatest and most original scientific thinkers of all time.
Born of Jewish parents at Ulm in Germany, he completed his education in Switzerland and got his Ph. D at the University of Zurich. He went to live in the United States in 1933 because of the rise of Nazism（纳粹）in Germany and Hitler’s persecution（迫害）of the Jews.
In 1905, while still at Zurich, he published his Special Theory of Relativity, which was based on things everyone may have noticed. If two trains are standing alongside each other and one train starts to move, a person sitting in the train may wonder whether his own train is moving or the other is moving, and before he finds out what is happening, he can see that one train is moving relatively to the other. From this and also from other more complicated facts, Einstein came to the conclusion that all motion is relative and that there are really no such things as absolute（绝对）motion. Some of the other conclusions he drew are that nothing can go faster than light, and that if something such as a ruler was moving faster and faster it would seem to get shorter and shorter as its speed was near the speed of light. By 1915, Einstein had made known his General Theory of Relativity. He also improved on Newton’s theory of gravity. Most of his theories have been tested and found to be true though some may sound strange. For his important work he was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Physics.

A．in the United States
B．in Ulm, Germany after he got his Ph．D
C．still in Switzerland at the age of twenty-six
D．still at the University of Zurich at the age of thirty-six
(3) One of the conclusions drawn by Einstein is that ________.
A．places go faster than trains and buses
B．people couldn’t run as fast as vehicles
C．light gobs the fastest of all the things
D．two trains can go in different directions
(4) Einstein added that if something such as a ruler was moving it would seem to get shorter and shorter ________.
A．because the ruler itself was short
B．when it was moving faster and faster
C．because we can’t see it clearly
D．because the ruler was broken into pieces

The Diary of a Young Girl is a book based on the writings from a diary written by Anne Frank
while she was in hiding for two years with her family during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands.
Anne Frank began to keep a diary on her thirteenth birthday, 12 June 1942, three weeks before
going into hiding with her mother Edith, father Otto sister Margot and four other people. With the
assistance of a group of Otto Frank 's trusted colleagues they remained hidden for two years and one
month. They were arrested in 1944 and sent to separate Nazi concentration camps. Anne Frank finally
died of typhus(斑疹伤寒) in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp shortly (about two weeks) before
liberation by British
troops in April 1945. Of the group of eight, only Otto Frank, Anne's father, survived the war. After the
war, he got back the diary that was saved and kept by his friend.
When Otto Frank read his daughter's diary, he was astonished. "I never knew my little Anne was so
deep". Anne Frank's story has become an example of Jewish suffering under Adolf Hitler, and a warning
of the consequences of racism and persecution(迫害).
There has been guess about the identity of Kitty, who in Anne's revised diary is the only receiver of
her letters. It was once thought that the name referred to Kitty Egyedi, a prewar friend of Frank's.
However, Kitty Egyedi said in an interview that sh
e was flattered by the assumption but doubted the
diary was addressed to her: "Kitty became so idealized and started to lead her own life in the diary.
The name ... is not meant to be me."
The character's fictional(虚构的) origin was proved undoubtedly later. Anne had expressed the
desire in the introduction of her diary for one person that she could call her truest friend, that is, a person
to whom she could confide her deepest thoughts and feelings. She observed that she had many "friends",
but (by her own definition) no true, dear friend with whom she could share her innermost thoughts.
In fact, the closest friend Anne had during her tragically short life was her diary, "Kitty", for it was only to "Kitty" that she entrusted her innermost thoughts.
4. Kitty Egyedi believed the "Kitty" Anne wrote to__________.
