9．I came to live here where I am now between Wounded Knee Greek and Grass Greek．Others came too，and we made these little grey houses of logs that you see，and they are square，It is a bad way to live，for there can be no power in a square．
You have noticed that everything an Indian does is in a circle，and that is because the Power of the World always works in circles，and everything tries to be round．In the old days when we were strong and happy people，all our power came to us from the respectful circle of the nation，and so long as the circle was unbroken，the people were getting rich．The flowering tree was the living center of the circle，and the circle of the four quarters nursed it．The east gave peace and light，the south gave warmth，the west gave rain，and the north with its cold and strong wind gave strength and continuous power．
This knowledge came to us from the outer world with our brief．Everything the Power of the World does is done in a circle．The sky is round，and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball，and so are all the stars．Birds make their nests in circle，for theirs are the same as ours．The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle．The moon does the same，and both are round．Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing，and always come back again to where they were．The life of a man is a circle from childhood to childhood，and so it is in everything where power moves．
Our places were like the nests of birds，and these were always set in a circle，the nation's circle，a nest of many nests，where the Great Spirit meant for us to nurse our children．
But the"white people"have put us in these square boxes．Our power is gone and we are dying，for the power is not in us any more．You can look at our boys and see how it is with us．Where we were living by the power of the circle in the way we should，boys were men at twelve or thirteen years of age．But now it takes them very much longer to grow up．

8．A team of scientists proved that seals had a very good sense of hearing．These men trained blind seals to expect food when they heard sounds．The seals always began snapping（猛咬） when a strong signal was sounded．
It was proved that even a soft signal，a considerable distance away，could make these sea animals respond．That should make the fisherman who makes much noise while working，or talks loudly，start thinking．
The same team of scientists also trained seals to recognize different sounds．One bell-tone meant food，two bell-tones meant no food．In the beginning，the seals made mistakes when the two bell-tones were sounded．They were given a light tap after each mistake．The seals were good learners．They easily learned to tell the difference between the sounds．

D．were the only animals to be found
68．To those seals strong signal meantC．

A．seals have no good sense of hearing
B．seals have good sense of hearing
C．seals can only recognize bell sounds
D．seals can not hear soft or long distant sounds
70．Which title will be the best to suit the article？B

5．Heavy downpours last month in Rhode Island led to widespread flooding，causing millions of dollars in property damage and leaving thousands homeless．The flood waters also poured vast amounts of raw sewage（未经净化的污水） into the rivers and streams that flow into Narragansett Bay．
It sounds like the makings of an environmental nightmare．But in fact it's just the opposite．To scientists'delight．The sewage-loaded floodwaters have caused a well-timed growth of phytoplankton．The microscopic creatures that form the foundation of marine（海洋的） food chains．With more food available for fish．Clams and other sea creatures．The bay's fisheries industry is expected to benefit．
In decades past．Narragansett Bay typically experienced a late winter early spring algal（海藻） bloom that fed creatures up and down the water column．But in recent years，the waters of Narragansen Bay warmed greatly，meriting this seasonal event．
Mark Berman，an oceanographer with the Nationa．Marine Fishertes Service．Said the flood seemed to have sent the bay back in its normal state．
However，local，mutate and federal officials in Rhode Island leave been batting other algal blooms that，by contrast，are causing widespread harm to the Narragansett Bay ecosystem．During summer months，sewage and agricultural runnel flows into the bay．Causing large blooms．But inseam of becoming food for sea creatures，much of the phytoplankton is consumed by bacteria，which grow last in the warmer waters．The rapid bacteria growth leads to hypoxia decrease of oxygen in the water that can cause large fish tools．One such die-off occurred in 2003．when millions of oxygen-starved fish washed up on the belches of Narragansett Bay．
The flood's positive impact will probably be a one-time event，Mr Berman said．Mcanwhile efforts to   curb  the harmful summer honors continue； in 2003．for instance，Providence completed a﹩359million sewage tonal under the city designated to reduce the polluted storm overflow into Narragansett Bay．

D．consumption of oxygen by beaters
73．People struggle against the summer blooms because they willC．
A．pollute the local natural environment
B．increase the prcducmon of fishery industry
C．cause large fish kills of the bay indirectly
D．provide too much food ior sea creatures
74．It can be inferred thatD．
A．money spent on the summer blooms has been wasted
B．the government is inverting to promote the local fisheries
C．research of accanology should he encouraged
D．she raw sewage impacts are currently con radiator

4．Looking back at my school yearbooks of the 1970s，80s，and 90s，I find the style of uniform says a lot about the students and the character of the times．In the 1970s，students accessorized （配饰） their uniforms with platform shoes．During the 80s，hair was huge-literally．Students'goofy hair filled up nearly every shot in the yearbook．In the 90s，accessories were all the rage （流行）．
Uniform rules have always been strict．The restrictions （限制） are down to the inch：Gray or plaid skirts must be no shorter than two inches above the knee； a red，green，navy or white polo must be worn at all times； and only white，blue，black，and gray sneakers or flats are allowed．With all these rules，one can't help but wonder how the typical rebellious （叛逆的） teenager can express her individuality．
Still，they manage．Senior Michelle Ferrier says she accessorizes by wearing bright colors like green and pink in bracelets，shoe laces，and headbands to stand out and be fashionable．For any stylish （时尚的） Carondelet student，accessories are key．
At Carondelet，one thing's for sure：The older a student gets，the more she's willing to bend the rules．Senior Natalia Piwek admits that she often pairs her"tights and colorful socks"with"illegal shoes"．If you happen to see a girl with colorful tights or boots running across the hallway，it's most likely that she's running from a dean．
In about two months，I will say goodbye to my uniform．I will miss the convenience of wearing it．However，I must say，wearing a uniform has taught me an important lesson that I will take with me when I go off to college：it doesn't matter what you wear，but how you wear it．And how you carry yourself．
