　　In the early part of the twentieth century，racism was widespread in the United States．Many African Americans were not given equal opportunities in education or employment．Marian Anderson（18971993）was an African American woman who gained fame as a con-cert singer in this climate of racism．She was born in Philadelphia and sang in church choirs during her childhood．When she applied for admission to a local music school In 1917，she was turned down because she was black．Unable to attend music school，she began her career as a singer for church gatherings．In 1929，she went to Europe to study voice and spent several years performing there．Her voice was widely praised throughout Europe．

Then she returned the U．S．in 1935 and became a top concert singer after performing at Town Hall in New York City．

　　Racism again affected Anderson in 1939．When it was arranged for her to sing at Constitution Hall in Washington，D．C，the daughters of the American Revolution opposed it because of her color．She sang instead at the Lincoln Memorial over75，000 people．In 1955，Anderson became the first black soloist to sing with the Metropolitan Opera of New York City．The famous conductor Toscanini praised her voice as “head only once in a hundred years”．She was a U．S．delegate to the United Nations in 1958 and won the UN peace prize in 1977．Anderson eventually triumphed over racism．

On Anger
Doctors say anger can be an extremely harmful emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that angry feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problem, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.
Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, losing control of themselves. But other people repress their anger. They cannot or will not express it.
For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (激素) that are produced during tense situations. They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood and narrow the blood vessels to the interstices (空隙). In general, the person feels excited and ready to act.
Doctors said that repressing these feelings only makes the feelings continue. And this can lead to many medical problems. Doctors thought a person could prevent these problems by letting the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently some doctors held a different view. They said that people who express anger repeatedly and violently did become, in fact, more and not less angry. They said this, too, can cause medical problems.
Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger strongly may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious, enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”

A. the heart rate increases    B. the blood pressure rises

Like many other high school seniors, I eagerly anticipate life after graduation. In less than three months, my belongings will be packed up and shipped to the other side of the country.
I had never imagined, in my wildest dreams, that I would attend college in Ithaca, New York. I had had my heart set on a university in California and of majoring in English.
Nearly all of my friends are staying in state, and I remember thinking to myself, when one friend said she would be going to college in Virginia: Why would someone ever choose to move away from California?
But by a twist of fate, I received a letter from Ithaca College, inviting me to apply for a program in communications. On a while, I decided to apply. What were the chances that I would be selected as a finalist? If I hadn’t applied, I would have always regretted not trying. Yet secretly, I hoped that I wouldn’t be chosen.
But, as things turned out, I was offered one of the scholarships. I also received admission letters from the other colleges I had applied to, all of which were California schools.
As I began to weigh my options, I wrote out a pro/con (利弊) list for each of my schools. I began to realize that my reasons for wanting to go to certain schools in California were based on considerations of comfort. It would be so reassuring to be close to my family and my home.
Then I began to think about the expensive tuitions (学费) and class shortages in the California public school system. These issues were not likely to greatly improve in the next four years. Slowly, I came to the conclusion that Ithaca was the ideal choice for me – culturally, academically and financially.
Fear of the unknown should not be a reason for shying away from opportunities. It might be difficult to adapt to my new situation, but I am confident I have made the right decision.
64. What is the point of the article?
A. To introduce the advantages of studying at Ithaca College.
B. To tell readers what matters when applying to a college.
C. To share the author’s experience of choosing a college.

65. The author decided to go to Ithaca College because ______.
A. she wasn’t accepted by any of her dream schools in California
B. she has a great interest in Ithaca College’s communications program
C. she was offered a scholarship by Ithaca College but not by colleges in California
D. she thinks that teaching and classes are better at Ithaca College than at California schools

B. The author is independent and likes adventure.
C. The author believes it will be easy to adapt to college life.

C. That nothing we want in life can be achieved without effort.
D. Not to take any risks.

There have been many great inventions, things that have changed the way we live. The first great invention was one that is still very important today-the wheel(轮子). This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distances.

For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land in the world, people did not have to explore(探险) any more.

In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the electric light and the radio. These all became a big part of our life today.

The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions: the helicopter in 1909; movies with sound in 1926; the computer in 1928; and jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people had been wearing.

The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and let them live longer lives. By the 1960s most people could expect to live at least 60.

By this time most people had a very good life. Of course new inventions con-tinue to be made. But man now had a desire(向往)to explore again. The world was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then the United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their own steps into space.

In 1969 man took his biggest step away from the earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning though. New inventions will someday allow us to do things we have never dreamed of.

5. How many inventions had had as much effect as the wheel by the 19th century?

A. Quite a few. B. Few. C. A few. D. None.

6. What the writer wants to tell us is mainly about _______ .

A. how inventions have a great effect on people's lives

B. which country made the first step into space

C. why cars played an important part in everyday life

D. when the electric light was invented

7. Which of the following inventions that are referred to in the passage is the nearest to us in the first part of the 20th century?

A. Jet planes. B. Radio. C. Camera. D. Nylon.

8. It is because of _______ to help people keep healthier than ever that people can live longer lives.

A. good doctors

B. more and more hospitals

C. new ways

D. new medicines

9. Man did not wish to explore a lot _______ .

A. from the 1800's to 1960's

B. since the 1900's

C. in the 1960's

D. at the beginning of 1800's
