His closing words were: ‘Jimmy ,I always felt bad for you 52 your buddies got it off their chest ,but you were carrying it 53 all these years .I want to thank you for calling me ,for your sake .” Jimmy inspired me to 54 all 101 items on my list within two years ,and I always remember what I learned from the course : it’s never too late to 55 the past wrongdoings.36．A．something B．a(chǎn)nything C．somebody D．a(chǎn)nybody37．A．a(chǎn)shamed B．a(chǎn)fraid C．sure D．proud38．A．private B．secret C．interesting D．funny39．A．foolish B．polite C．simple D．brave40．A．expected B．ordered C．suggested D．demanded41．A．connect with B．depend on C．make apologies to D．get along with42．A．improve B．continue C．realize D．keep43．A．notes B．list C．plan D．stories44．A．a(chǎn)ny B．most C．none D．a(chǎn)ll45．A．part B．game C．record D．trick46．A．view B．sign C．a(chǎn)ttention D．remark47．A．a(chǎn)lso B．even C．still D．ever48．A．a(chǎn)ppears B．considers C．presents D．remembers49．A．a(chǎn)ngry B．happy C．doubtful D．a(chǎn)live50．A．words B．repeats C．rings D．calls51．A．cold B．plain C．nervous D．lively52．A．in case B．so long as C．unless D．because53．A．a(chǎn)round B．out C．on D．a(chǎn)way54．A．build up B．make up C．clear up D．give up55．A．regret B．right C．write D．punish第三部分：閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分） 閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。A There was one shop in the town of Mufulira which was widely known for its racial discrimination. It was a drugstore .While Europeans were served at the counter ,a long line of Africans queued at the window and often not only were kept waiting but were treated rudely by the shop assistants .One day I was determined to make a public protest （抗議）against this kind of thing ,and many of the schoolboys in my class followed me to the store. I simply went into the shop and asked the manager politely for some medicine. As soon as he saw me standing in the place where only European customers were allowed to stand ,he shouted at me in a bastard （怪聲怪氣的）language which is only used by a boss when speaking to his servants .I stood at the counter and politely requested in proper English that I should be served .The manager became angry and said , “Even if you stand till Christmas ,I will never serve you .” I went to the District Commissioner’s office .Fortunately ,he was out ,for he was one of the old school。 however ,I saw a young District Officer who was a friend of mine .He was very concerned to hear my story and told me that all I had to do was e to him personally and he would buy my medicine for me .I protested that that was not good enough .I asked him to acpany me back to the store and to make a protest to the manager .This he did ,and I well remember him saying to the manager , “Here is Mr. Kaunda who is a responsible member of the Urban Advisory Council, and you treat him like a mon servant .” The manager of the drugstore apologized and said , “If only he had introduced himself and explained who he was ,then ,of course ,I should have given him proper service.” I had to explain once again that he had missed my point .Why should I have to introduce myself every time I went into a store…any more than I should have to buy my medicine by going to a European friend ? I want to prove that any man of any color ,whatever his position ,should have the right to go into any shop and buy what he wanted .After all, the money which I paid across the counter was exactly the same money as was paid by a European customer.56．The writer was ,at the time of the story , .
