Robert Moody, 52, is an experienced police officer. Much of his work involves dealing with  16  an gang (团伙)problems in the schools of his community. Knowing that many kids often  17   trouble, he decided to do something about it. So in 1991 he began to invite small groups of kids to go fishing with him on his day   18    .
Those fun trips had a(n) 19  impact. A chance encounter in 2000 proved that. One day,  20  working security at a school basketball game, Moody noticed two young guys   21   .He sensed trouble between them.  22   one of them headed toward Moody and gave him a hug.”I 23   you. You took me    24   when I was  in fifth grade. That was one of the  25   days of my life .”
Deeply touched by the boy’s word, Moody decided to create a foundation（基金会）that  26  teenagers to the basics of fishing in camping programs. “As a policeman, I saw  27  there was violence, drugs were always behind it. They have a damaging  28  on the kids,” says Moody.
By turning kids on to fishing, he  29  to present an alternative way of life, “When you’re sitting there waiting for a  30 ,”he says, “you can’t help but talk to each other, and such  31  can be pretty deep.”
“Talking about drugs helped prepare me for the peer（同龄人）pressures in high school,” says Michelle, 17 who  32  the first program. “And I was able to help my little brother  33  drugs.”
Moody faces 34 in three years, when he hopes to run the foundation full-time.”I’m living a happy life and I have a responsibility to my  35 to give back,” Moody says.”If I teach a kid to fish today, he can teach his brother to fish tomorrow.”

COPENHAGEN—The world is gathered in Copenhagen for the U.N. climate summit, but Denmark’s bicycle-friendly capital has also given its name to a movement of cities trying to find a kinder way to travel to and from work.
Nearly 40 percent of Copenhagen’s population cycle to work or school on ubiquitous（无处不在的） paved cycle paths. Many residents take to their bikes year-round, braving rain and snow through the winter in a city where the bicycles outnumber the people.
Amsterdam and Beijing too are known for their bicycles, but the Danish capital is where urban planners from around the world have been looking for ways to get their people out of cars and up onto bikes, an effort known as Copenhagenisation.
Klaus Bondam, Copenhagen’s technical and environmental chief, calls himself a “mega cyclist” and says the bike’s popularity stems partly from high taxes on cars which meant working-class Danes could not afford to drive in the 1930s and 1940s. “Today you’ll meet everybody on the bicycle lanes — women and men, rich and poor, old and young.” Bondam said.
The local government has during the last three years invested more than 250 million crowns ($49.42 million) in bicycle lanes and to make the traffic safer for bicyclists. Today around a third of the population drive cars to work or study, another third take public transport, while 37 percent cycle -- a figure the city aims to increase to 50 percent by 2015.
There are many benefits when citizens choose bicycles over cars: pollution and noise decline, public health improves, and more people on bikes or walking creates a sense of safety in the city. Fewer parked cars leaves more space for playgrounds, parks, shopping areas and other useful public places.
53. According to the first paragraph, Copenhagen is better known as ___________.
A. a city without cars                B. a bicycle-friendly city
C. Denmark’s capital                D. the U.N. climate summit
54. We can learn from the second and the third paragraph, __________.
A. there is no path for cars during rainy and snowy days
B. citizens are limited to have only one bike for each person
C. two-thirds of people in Copenhagen cycle to work or school
D. city planners try their best to encourage more citizens to ride bikes
55. Bikes are popular in Copenhagen partly because ___________.
A. the citizens are unable to afford to buy a car
B. the rich tend to keep fit by cycling to work
C. young people regard cycling a fashion to follow
D. high taxes were paid for cars in the 1930s and 1940s
56. We can learn from the passage that __________.
A. cars are forbidden to park in Copenhagen
B. more citizens tend to choose cars in Copenhagen
C. Copenhagen becomes a model for cities’ traffic
D. living standards in Copenhagen are greatly declining

Everyone has experienced trying but failing to master a difficult book, which was begun with the hope of increasing one's understanding. When that happens, it is    16  to think that it was a mistake to try to read it, but that was not the mistake. The mistake was in    17   too much from the first reading of a(n)   18   book. If you read it in the right way, no book written for the    19    reader, no matter how difficult, need be a cause for despair (绝望).
What is the right method? The    20   is an important and helpful rule of reading that is either not known or often forgotten. That rule is simply this: when reading a difficult book for the first time, read it through without ever    21   to think about the things that you do not understand immediately.
Do not be stopped by what you can't understand. Read through the difficult    22   , and you’ll soon come to things that you do understand. Read these    23   . You will have a much better chance of understanding all of the book when you read it again, but that    24   you to have read the book through once    25   .
What you understand by reading the book through to the   26   will help you when you try later to read the places that you did not    27    in your first reading. Or if you never re-read the book, understanding half of it is much better than understanding nothing of it, which will happen if you allow yourself to be stopped by the first difficult part of the book.
Most of us were taught to    28   the things that we do not understand. We were told to find the  29  of unfamiliar words, and to try to find an explanation in another    30   for anything that we did not understand in the book that we were reading. But when these things are done before the proper time, they only harm our reading, instead of helping it.
16. A. necessary              B. useful                    C. natural                  D. effective   
17. A. learning                  B. hoping                   C. accepting       D. expecting              
18. A. easy                 B. difficult                   C. important      D. correct                
19. A. ordinary           B. young                   C. serious                  D. sincere                
20. A. method           B. question       C. answer                 D. problem               
21. A. starting            B. hesitating       C. stopping       D . repeating 
22. A. words             B. articles        C. parts         D. points                 
23. A. quickly              B. immediately     C. clearly         D. carefully              
24.A. requires     B. causes                     C. advises                     D. allows             
25.A. later       B. after                      C. before                    D. again              
26.A. top        B. end                       C. bottom                    D. cover 
27.A. see        B. turn                      C. notice                      D. understand         
28.A. put away     B. put down                  C. think aloud                 D. think about         
29.A. uses        B. meanings                 C. spellings                    D. troubles           
30.A. thinking     B. reading                    C. book                D. way

Life became hard when I was 14. My mother and I moved to New York to 36 my father, who’d moved there to find  37  work when I was three years old. He had a job at a restaurant and only visited us  38  every couple of years.
Before I moved, I knew that people in the US spoke English. But honestly, I didn’t stop to analyze the  39  when I was  40  to leave. Just like I assumed I could easily become a doctor or a lawyer. I assumed that I had the skills to learn English in a few weeks. 
When I  41  in the US and started 8^th grade at Ditmas Middle School in Brooklyn, everyone was speaking a(n)  42  language I couldn’t understand. I  43  that life had subtitles, like in foreign movies. School was such a serious place here. Sometimes I felt like I was in a geek（呆子） class. The teachers were always  44  my moves so I couldn’t even throw a paper ball at a classmate’s head. And the worst thing was having to read  45
46  after almost seven months of complaining about everything, I realized that complaining didn’t change things.  47  just made my life worse. If I was going to  48   in this new concrete jungle, I had to  49  . I began to learn English by reading newspapers on my own  50  school. After about four months, I started enjoying reading the crime and sports stories. After six months of studying, my teachers  51  my improvement and moved me into a more  52  English class. I could go to the store and ask for things that I wanted to buy without  53  frustration. For the first time I felt like I was living on earth again  54  .I didn’t hear foreign talk. I  55  understand people.
