Black Americans have served with honor in every American military action, though this often not written in history books. Even though black men begged to be allowed to serve in the Revolution War, they served well. During the Revolution War a black man named Eastbrook captured Royal Army's General Prescott Newport and Peter Salem, a black, killed Major Pitcairn as he was enjoying his victory at Bunker Hill.
Though whites had long believed that blacks could neither command nor use firearms, blacks fought bravely. In 1863, William Carney received the Congressional Medal of Honor for his role in battles.
In World War Ⅰ, 40,000 black solders served with this French command. Johnson and Needham Robert were the first Americans to win the Croix de Guerre——France's top military award.
During World War Ⅱ over 40,000 black solders served in the army forces. Dories Miler, a black, was one of the first heroes in this war. At Pearl Harbor during Japanese attack, he shot down four planes. The black fighter pilots of Benjamin Davis, Jr. made themselves known as brave soldiers throughout the war.

One day Burton took his children to the zoo. He told them to be ready at two o'clock, but they weren't all ready then: little Tommy couldn't find his shoes. He could find his brown shoes, but he couldn't find his black shoes, and wanted to wear his black shoes to the zoo. At a quarter past two his brothers and sisters told him to wear his brown shoes. Their mother waved goodbye and told them to enjoy their trip to the zoo. Then she sat down to read a book in the empty, quiet house.
When they got to the zoo, Burton told the children to stay with; he didn't want them to get lost in the zoo. Little Tommy asked his father to buy some food for the bears; but his father answered:“Look at that notice, Tommy. It tells us not to feed the animals.”
“Why does it tell us not to feed the animals?”asked Tommy.
“Because they get a lot of food already.”said Burton.“And people often try to give them the wrong food; that's bad for the animals.”
At three o'clock the dolphin (海豚) show began. All the Burtons wanted to see it, so Mr. Burton bought seven tickets and took the children down to the dolphinarium(海豚馆). The dolphins did a lot of tricks: they jumped up into the air and flew through hoops (大铁圈) over the water; they caught rubber rings with their noses; and they played‘basketball’with red and yellow balls. The trainer blew his whistle when he wanted the dolphins to do something, and when they did it he gave them some fish.
“How can the dolphins do all those tricks?”asked the little Tommy.
“Because they are very intelligent (聪明的),”said his big brother.“They can understand when their trainer tells them to do something; and they like to do tricks (耍把戏). because he always gives them some fish when they do them.”
“That's good,”said Tommy.“I like to do tricks too; why doesn't Father give me some candies (糖果) when I do them?”
1.Burton ________ the house at two o'clock.
[ ]
2.Tommy was looking for ________.
[ ]
3.Burton told his children ________.
[ ]
4.________ the animals the wrong food.
[ ]
5.The dolphins played basketball ________.

In the near future some parts of the world may soon have a new kind of television. It is called high definition television or H-D-T-V. The main difference between H-D-T-V and normal television is the picture. It is more clear and detailed (明细). This is because H-D-T-V has many more points and lines that make a television image (图像). Every colour television picture contains thousands of red, green and blue points, They all come together as an image in the eye of the person
watching. The points are organized in lines that go across the television screen. There are more than 500 lines in a normal television. H-D-T-V has two times as many. To get this clear picture, you must have a big screen. Experts say people using a small screen will see little difference.
H-D-T-V also has clear sound. It is like the sound on a compact disc player (激光电唱机), or CD. All these improvements make H-D-T-V very costly. One kind in Japan now sells for more than 20 000 dollars. In the future, the cost is expected to be about 2 000 dollars. A major problem with H-D-T-V is its broadcast signal. The signal is bigger than for normal, because it carries more electronic in formation.
1.The main difference between an H-D-T-V and a normal television is ________.
[ ]
A.that the picture of normal TV is normal
B.that H-D-T-V is new and good
C.that H-D-T-V is so new that not all parts of the world have got it at present
D.that the picture of an H-D-T-V is more clear and detailed
2.A colour TV image is ________.
[ ]
A.made up of thousands of red, green and blue points
B.formed by the above-mentioned red, green and blue points which are organized in lines that go across the TV screen
C.a black-and-white picture
D.both A and B
3.An H-D-T-V has ________ lines.
[ ]
4.If you want to get a clear and detailed picture from an H-D-T-V, you ________.
[ ]
A.must have the bigger signal for H-D-T-V
B.have to get a big screen
C.should have a compact disc player
D.both A and B
5.According to the passage, which of the following is right?
[ ]
A.The H-D-T-V sets are not popular now because they are too expensive for most people.
B.The signal for an H-D-T-V is not bigger than that for the normal TV.
C.In the future an H-D-T-V will cost 10 times as much as it costs now.
D.In the future an H-D-T-V will be cheaper only because 2 000 dollars will be just equal to 20 000 dollars.

The sea world is divided into three main oceans, the Pacific, the Atlantic and the Indian and two smaller oceans, the Arctic or the Northern Ocean, and the Antarctic or the Southern Ocean. The Pacific is by far the largest of these, for it covers half the sea- area of the world. In addition to the oceans there are other areas of sea, such as the Red Sea, the Mediterranean, the North Sea, the Caribbean Sea (加勒比海) and the Black Sea.
The continents are entirely surrounded by what is called the “continental shelf” which slopes (倾斜) gradually to a depth of about 500 feet. This shelf is built up of sediment (沉积物) which has been brought down to the sea by the continental river. Where the land near the coast is low and flat, the continental shelf may extend thirty, forty or even more miles from the coast; where mountain ranges run parallel (平行的) to the sea and near to it ( as on the east coast of Africa), the shelf is narrowed to only a mile or two.
From the edge of the shelf the sea- bed slopes sharply downwards so that the depth of water from the surface rapidly becomes greater, down to perhaps 1,200 feet.
1.Choose a correct diagram (示意图) from the following according to the information given:
[ ]
A.
B.
C.
D.
2.Which of those is the biggest?
[ ]
3.The continental shelf is found ________.
[ ]
4.The greatest area of continental shelf is to be found ________.
[ ]
A.at a depth of 500 feet
B.near low, flat coastline
C.near mountain ranges paralleled to the sea
D.off the east coast of Africa
5.The depth of the continental shelf varies (不同,不等) from ________.
[ ]
