    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

    　　George Zimmerman's first court appearance before a Florida judge came on Tuesday in connection with the shooting of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin．The case has caused a national debate in the United States about race, self-defense laws and gun control．

    　　It was the first time the public had gotten to see and hear from George Zimmerman．The judge said he had found probable cause to move ahead with the case and told Zimmerman he would be formally charged on May 29th．

    　　Zimmerman turned himself into authorities on Wednesday night, just before special prosecutor (检举人)Angela Corey announced the charge against him．

    　　Corey told reporters she would fight for Trayvon Martin．

    　　"It's the victims and justice that we work tirelessly for " Corey said．

    　　Zimmerman says he shot Martin in self-defense after spotting the teenager in a gated community where Martin's father lives．He told police Martin attacked him during a conflict．The shooting caused a national cry led by Martin's parents who insisted their son was murdered．They also accused Zimmerman of targeting their son because he was black．

    　　"We just wanted an arrest and we got it," Trayvon Martin's mother Fulton said．

    　　Many in Sanford, Florida －the city where the shooting took place－welcomed the charge．

    　　"All of us were wanting this to move on and get to this process where it is now into the justice system," one man said．

    　　"It was long overdue (迟到的) and I am glad they decided to do something," another said．

    　　Police did not initially charge Zimmerman with a crime because of a Florida law that says a person has a right to stand his or her ground and meet force with force．Prosecutor Corey say：

    　　'' I'm prepared to argue the issue if Zimmerman uses the self-defense law in court''．

    　　Mark O'Mara, Zimmerman's lawyer, would not make his plan public, but he said his client (委托人) was worried about the trial．

    　　"If found guilty of the second-degree murder charge, Zimmerman could face up to life in prison．", O'Mara said．

    请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

                                       A

    Scars of Love

    Some years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks and shirt as he went.

    He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator（短吻鳄） was getting close. The mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In great fear, she ran toward the water, yelling to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him. From the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched (抓住) his legs. That began an unbelievable tug-of-war (拔河比赛) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, rushed from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.

    Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred (留下伤疤) by the terrible attack of the animal. And on his arms, were deep scratches where his mother’s fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.

    The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy after the trauma （外伤）, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted the pant legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, “Look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mum wouldn’t let go.”

    You and I can identify with （认同） that little boy. We have scars, too. Not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. Some of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret. But, some wounds, my friends, are because we have refused to let go.

    56. The underlined part “the two” in the second paragraph refers to ______.

       A. the alligator and the mother         B. the mother and the son

    C. the driver and the alligator          D. the son and the alligator

    57. From the passage we can infer ________.

       A. The mother was unwilling to let the alligator go

       B. The mother was actually stronger than the alligator

       C. The son was proud of his scars on his arms

       D. The son was ashamed of his scars on his legs

    58. According to the last paragraph, what is the writer’s real meaning?

       A. To forget the past is to betray.       B. We should forget the scars.

       C. Wounds are different from scars.     D. We should learn to let go sometimes.
