Martin Luther King. Jr. was born in Georgia in 1929. When he was still a boy, Martin learned that his people, the black Americans, were often treated differently from most of their fellow Americans. Many could not attend good schools, get good jobs, or live in nice houses because of the color of their skin. Martin knew that in a free country this was wrong. He wanted to help his black brothers, so he decided to go to school to get good education. He became a minister(牧师)in Montgomery, Alabama. This is where Martin Luther King’s “peaceful fight” first began. Dr. King held the belief that the only way people could win their rights was to remain peaceful, even in face of danger. Later Martin Luther King, became a famous lawyer and a great leader of black people who fight for equal rights. In 1963，his efforts led to the Great March(大游行)on Washington, where King delivered his famous speech “I Have a Dream”. Here he raised public concern for the civil rights(民权) movement. Dr. King won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964 for his achievements and courage.

The whole nation mourned when the terrible event happened on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee. Martin Luther King, Jr, was shot. The man who had preached (倡导) nonviolence (非暴力) died violently. But Dr. King’s dream can never die. Many Americans are still struggling to make that dream come true. The following is part of his famous speech delivered during the Great March:

I have a dream today!

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave-owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

An African—born British scientist received an environment research prize for showing how bees can be used to reduce conflict between people and elephants．Lucy King’s work proved that beehive（峰房）“fences” can keep elephants out of African farmers’ fields．The animals are scared of bees, which can bite them inside their long noses, and flee when they hear buzzing（蜂鸣声）．

Dr King's work offers an intelligent solution to an age—old challenge, while providing further confirmation of the importance of bees to people and a really clever way of preserving the world's largest land animal for current and future generations．Working in Kenya, Dr King and her team showed that more than 90% of elephants will flee when they hear the sounds of buzzing bees．Afterwards, they also found that elephants produce a special sound to warn their fellows of the danger．They used the findings to construct barriers where beehives are woven into a fence, keeping the elephants away from places where people live and grow food．

A twoyear project involving 34 farms showed that elephants trying to go through the fences would shake them, disturbing the bees．Later, the fences were adopted by farming communities in three Kenyan districts —— who also made increased amounts of money from selling honey．

As Africa's population grows, competition for space between people and elephants is becoming more serious, and there are fatalities on both sides．The same is true in parts of Asia．Sri Lanka alone sees the deaths of all estimated 60 people and 200 elephants each year from conflict．

Lucy King now wants to see whether the Kenyan technique will work in other parts of Africa —— and perhaps, eventually, in Asia．

72．Which of the following orders of events correctly shows how Dr King’s project works?

①Beehive fences are built around a farm．

②Elephants hear the buzzing and run away．

③Bees are disturbed and fly out of the beehives．

④Elephants trying to enter the farm shake the fences．

       A．①→②→③→④                                     B．①→④→③→②

       C．④→③→②→①                                     D．①→②→④→③

73．Dr King's solution is described as “intelligent” because_____________．

       A．it successfully Keeps elephants out of African farmers' fields

       B．the fences Were adopted by farming communities in three Kenyan districts

       C．more than 90％ of elephants flee when they hear the sounds of buzzing bees

       D．it protects crops。produces honey and preserves the dephant at the same time

74．The underlined word “fatalities” in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to__________．

A．deaths                   B．communities         C．population            D．fences

75．Which of the following is true according to the passage?

       A．Dr king was born in Britain．

       C．The technique has proved to work well in Asia, too．
