ect was to flood the state with hundreds of northern college students. The volunteers would form “freedom schools” to teach AfricanAmericans about their voting rights. It was called “one of the most ambitious civil rights projects yet.” The violence against blacks had never stopped. In the previous seven decades, nearly 600 known killings had taken place in the state. But the reasons why part of me wanted Andy to stay were the same reasons he wanted to go. Only five percent of Mississippi’s halfmillion AfricanAmericans were registered to vote in 1960. I had fought for what I believed in all my life. I found a husband who had done the same. How could I say no to Andy? As Andy was preparing to leave, I threw some bandages into his bag. I thought he might get pushed around. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d never see him again. There are 40 names written on the Civil Rights Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama. Of the 40 victims, 19 were killed in Mississippi. One of them is my son. I allowed him to go to Mississippi because that is who he was. And it is who I was, too. 25. The first paragraph is mainly about Andy’s ______. A. appearance B. behavior C. character D. background 26. We know from the text that the Mississippi Summer Project ______. A. aimed to help educate AfricanAmericans B. fought for AfricanAmericans’ voting rights C. attracted college students from all over the country D. tried to protect AfricanAmericans from being killed 27. The underlined words “the reasons” in Paragraph 4 probably refer to ______. A. the whole family had a spirit of adventure B. blacks were in a disadvantageous position C. it was the most dangerous civil rights project D. Andy may bee a hero at the cost of his life 28. How did the author feel about allowing Andy to go to Mississippi? A. Guilty but proud. B. Ashamed but calm. C. Regretful but satisfied. D. Painful but sympathetic. C Dragonflies (蜻蜓 ) eat a lot, and they constantly hunt for food. What’s more, they usually catch it in the air. Zig! The dragonfly catches a small fly. Zag! It seizes a mosquito. Very few insects can outfly the dragonfly. No matter how fast they go, no matter which way they turn, the dragonfly is usually able to follow. Two engineers at the University of Tennessee Space Institute have been studying the way that dragonflies fly. Dr. James Wu and Dr. Ahmad Vakili are studying ways to design a fighter plane that can change direction as quickly and easily as dragonflies can. Why is that important? If you are in a fighter plane, and another plane is after you, you want to be able to fly more quickly than the other plane, Dr. Vakili says. A dragonfly’s wings are the key to its flying ability, Dr. Wu and Dr. Vakili say. If you look closely, you will see that a dragonfly has two wings on each side of its body—a long front wing and a slightly shorter back wing. During flight, small but powerful winds of air move along each of the dragonfly’s front wings. Thus, the pressure of air keeps the dragonfly up in the air. A dragonfly’s back wings help keep the winds from breaking up. Dr. Wu and Dr. vakili are studying ways to make fighter plane wings use air flow as efficiently as dragonfly wings. Does this mean that someday we’ll have fighter planes that look like dragonflies? Dr. Wu and Dr. vakili say no, because that would not be practical. They don’t want wings that look like a dragonfly’s. Rather, they want wings that work like a dragonfly’s—designed to help fighter planes change course quickly and outfly their enemies. 29. The opening paragraph is mainly intended to show______. A. the flying abilities of dragonflies B. how dragonflies search for food C. the food dragonflies prefer D. why dragonflies fly so fast 30. What helps dragonflies fly quickly and change direction easily? A. The shape of their wings. B. The number of their wings. C. The strength of their wings. D. The structure of their wings. 31. Dr. Wu and Dr. vakili want to make fighter planes that can take advantage of ______. A. the power of the wind B. the direction of the wind C. air flow D. air pressure 32. We can infer that the fighter planes designed by Dr. Wu and Dr. vakili may ______. A. fly at a greater height B. look like dragonflies C. have more functions D. make a turn quickly D In order to borrow books and other materials, all users need a library card. The librarian can obtain a list of staff and pupils from the school office to prepare library cards. The normal length of borrowing depends on the person running the library, but four weeks is the suggested period of loan (借出 ). The book to be borrowed is stam
