The Internet has changed the world we live in dramatically, so that in some ways it is unrecognizable from the place we lived in twenty years ago. Communications have been revolutionized. Not only have cell phones found their way into most people’s pockets or purses, but they are also used for next messaging and as cameras. Long distance phone calls have been replaced by e-mail and video conferencing. Communications, person to person or company to company, have turned into a fast-paced exchange with instant response. In fact, it has become more convenient and efficient.
The other kind of communication the Internet provides is information. School children and medical researchers alike will tell you that they could not work without the Internet and its ability to connect them to any number of websites and databases of information. Many people do their banking on-line. Others plan a trip and book a flight for themselves. People do their own stock  trading through the Net. Sports fans follow scores and statistics on websites. Political junkies(政治狂) gather campaign statements and debate topics, even between elections. And almost everyone who owns a computer and has Internet access has bought at least one item on-line. No wonder some young people can not imagine what life was like before the Internet.

I revisited Beichuan of Mid-Autumn Festival． As the car drove into the ruined city, tears streamed down my cheeks． Giant rocks from the mountain destroyed the road and houses fell, breaking into bricks and pieces of cement(水泥)． Beichuan Middle School, which was once filled with energy and laughter, now so unrecognizable ,so empery, so quiet, so still, was a death valley．

I couldn’t really imagine at that moment, how much pain they had suffered or how hopeless they felt as they waited to be rescued． Those unfortunate ones watched the devil of death(死神) march over them, taking them away． I can’t really imagine how heartbroken their parents or beloved ones were．

As I wandered in the ruins, I was lost in deep thoughts．

The day before, we were sitting in the brightly lit classroom, heatedly arguing the importance of shapes, colors and styles in architecture (建筑), comparing ancient time housing with the modern ones． Their similarities, their differences, their pros and cons…

Now , facing the terrible scene, I realized how childlike we were and how easily we forget the most important element of architect is SAFETY, it is how housing is supposed to be: to shield us from burning sun and pouring rain, to provide us with a comfortable warm place to sleep and relax． Obviously, the style and shape do play important roles in architecture． But when a natural disaster such as this earthquake came upon us without warning, will beauty stay over anybody’s life? From this trip, we can no doubt give the clear loud answer; NO!!!

Words after such a great disaster could appear nothing but empty and pointless． So many people’s lives were taken, so much damage was done and a whole city was wiped out． Beichuan has become a history． Nevertheless, I still keep on dreaming and still long for a better future: to make our homes prettier yet safer．

53．The underlined world “shield” means        

       A．rescue                 B．rob                       C．save                     D．protect

       A．must be a native of Beichuan

       B．may be specializing in architecture

       C．must be a rescue helper

       D．may be a teacher of Beichuan Middle School

55．Which of the following statements goes with the author’s view?

      A．Had more emphasis been put on the safety of the architect, no building would have fallen．

       B．The sufferers waited too long to get rescued when the earthquake happened,

       C．When a disaster hits human beings, the safety is important rather than the beauty．

       D．The damage, the destruction, even the deaths could all have been avoided if rescues had come without delay．

56．What is the best title of this passage?

       A．Safety Stands out from Anything

       B．Scenes of Post-disaster

       C．Importance of Architecture

       D．Relations between Architecture and Earthquake
