In 1883, an imaginative engineer named John Roebling decided to build a spectacular bridge connecting New York with Long Island. However, bridge building experts throughout the world thought that this was a pipe dream. It was not practical. It had never been done before.

But Roebling refused to listen to them. He thought about the bridge day and night and he knew deep in his heart that it could be done. After much discussion and persuasion he convinced his son Washington, who was a promising engineer himself, that the bridge in fact could be built.

Working together for the first time, the father and son developed concepts of how it could be accomplished. With great excitement, they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.

The project started well, but several months after it began, a tragic accident on the site took the life of John Roebling. Washington was so seriously injured that he was never able to walk, talk or even move again.

"We told them so", "Crazy men and their crazy dreams", "It's foolish to chase wild visions", the critics said and most thought the project should be scrapped since the Roeblings were the only ones who knew how the bridge could be built. In spite of his handicap Washington still had a burning desire to complete the bridge and his mind was still as sharp as ever.

Washington's wife tried to inspire and pass on her husband's enthusiasm to some of his friends, but they were too daunted by the task. As he lay in his hospital room, an idea suddenly hit him. All he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best use of it. By moving this finger and tapping it on his wife's arm, he slowly developed a code to communicate with her. Then he used this method to tell his wife what the engineers should do. It seemed crazy but the project was under way again. For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife's arm, until the bridge was finally completed.

Today the spectacular Brooklyn Bridge stands in all its glory as a tribute to the triumph of one man's spirit and his determination not to be defeated by circumstances.

_ What did most people think about Roebling's idea to build the bridge?

A. It would never become a reality. B. Washington was not experienced enough.

C. It would take a lot of time. D. Finding the money would be impossible.

_The underlined word `daunted' (para. 6) is closest in meaning to '______'.

AThe three main types of secondary education in the United States have been provided by the Latin grammar school, the academy, and the public high school. The first of these was a colonial institution. It began in New England with the establishment in 1635 of the Boston Free Latin School. The curriculum(课程) consisted mainly of the classical languages, and the purpose of this kind of school was the preparation of boys for college, where most of them would be fitted for the ministry.?

The academy began in the early 1750’s with Benjamin Franklin’s school in Philadelphia, which later became the University of Pennsylvania. It extended generally to about the middle nineteenth century, except in the southern states where the public high school was late in developing and where the academy continued to be a principal means of secondary education even after 1900.The academy was open to girls as well as to boys, and it provided a wider curriculum than what the Latin grammar school had furnished. It was designed not only as a preparation for college but also for practical life in commercial and business activities. Although its wide educational values are evident and are recognized as important contributions to secondary education in this country, the academy has never been considered a public institution as the public high school has come to be.?

The public high school had its origin in Massachusetts in 1821 when the English Classical School was established in Boston. In 1827,the state enacted(制定)the first state wide public high　school law in the United States. By 1840,there were perhaps a dozen public high schools in Massachusetts and many in other eastern states by 1850,they could also be found in many other states. Just as the curriculum of the academy grew out of that of the Latin grammar school, the curriculum of the public high school developed out of that of the academy. The public high school in the United States is a repudiation(推翻) of the aristocratic(贵族的)and selective principle of the European educational tradition. Since 1890,enrollments( 入学)in secondary schools, mainly public high schools, have practically doubled in this country every ten years.

56．According to the passage, which of the following sequences indicates the order in which the schools developed?

A．Latin grammar school, public high school, academy.

B．Latin grammar school, academy, public high school.

C．Public high school, Latin grammar school, academy.

D．Public high school, academy, Latin grammar school.

57．It is the opinion of the author that the academy, compared with the public high school, was ____.

A．obviously academically better

B．more discriminatory in student selection

C．coeducational

D．not generally considered as a public institution

58．One can probably infer from his article that “Latin grammar school” refers to ____.

A．the Boston Free Latin School

B．all the elementary schools in the United States

C．schools which taught Latin, exclusive of all other subjects

D．a number of schools which developed in New England

59．It is implied but not stated in the passage that ____.

A．European educational systems are not good

B．As high schools developed in the united states, the decision was made to make them responsible to people from all classes of society.

C．There was an aristocratic and selective principle in the European educational tradition

One evening, I came across one of my son’s papers with a failing grade. I almost started to yell his name 31 I suddenly remembered he was in bed asleep. It was his 32 (nine) year of school and his academic career seemed to be in ruins, so I was angry. But I put the paper aside and turned to the 33 one, at the top of which were written “My dad”. It was a poem about me, 34 included the time I had to leave work to take him to the hospital because he 35 (break) his finger. So careless was I 36 I had forgotten all about that.

He talked about how I wrestled with him in the evenings and 37 good many other things. That paper was suddenly not nearly as important as it had been a few minutes 38 . I don’t know if he planted the poem next to the failing grade to 39 (soft) the blow, but it worked. Instead of a severe lecture, I talked to him about the poem as well as the failed homework, and it began to make sense to me that I could include praise along 40 constructive criticism.
