Dear all,

Please read Professor Hume’s email about his next lecture on Rosa I’arks.

Susan Miller

Secretary

 

Dear Susan,

Please forward this message to students of my history class.

Besides the life story of Bosa Parks in the textbook,the students are also required to read the passage below and some related stories that can be borrowed from the school library.

Ted Hume

The early experiences of Rosa Parks (1913-2005),long known as the “mother of the civil rights movement,”were not different from those of many African-Americans at that time.The black woman,however,turned the course of American history in December 1955 when she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man.“By sitting down,”remarked John Lewis,“she was standing up for all Americans.”

Among the numerous awards Parks received in her life were the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1996) and the Congressional Gold Medal(1999).

Parks died on Oct. 24,2005,At St. Paul A.M.E. Church in Montgomery,a large crowd including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice celebrated her life.Rice said she and others,who grew up when the political activities of Parks held public attention,might not have realized her impact(影响) on their lives,“but I can honestly say that without Mrs. Parks,I probably would not be standing here as Secretary of State.”

After her casket(灵柩) was placed at the Capitol,U.S. President Bush,members of Congress and ordinary Americans paid their respects.In American history Parks is the first woman to lie in state at the Capitol,a very high regard usually reserved for Presidents of the United States.

【答案】

1.A

解析:这是一道主旨题。从文章的第一部分可以看出Susan转发了Hume教授的邮件,邮件的内容是安排大家阅读一个课外读物。

2.B

解析:这是一道词义猜测题。从Susan的邮件可以看出Hume教授是希望Susan把这个邮件传达给所有班上的同学,所以forward的意思是“传达,转发”的意思。

3.C

解析:这是一道归纳题。从第三段“The black woman,however,turned the course of American history in December 1955 when she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man.”可以看出Rosa Parks的政治影响是促进了种族平等,她的行为改变了美国的历史进程。

4.D

解析:这是一道推断题。根据最后一句“In American history Parks is the first woman to lie in state at the Capitol,a very high regard usually reserved for Presidents of the United States.”可知她被葬在国会大厦,通常总统才能有这个待遇。

Dear All,

    Happy New Year! A list of important dates for this term is attached to this letter.

    Interviews for our April and September Primary One classes will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday,18th&19th January.Now is the time to apply for admission to Peak School.

    Children are expected to weal their uniforms this term.As is usual at this time of the year,mornings at the school are quite cold and l would suggest children wear their sweaters to school.As the temperature goes up during the day,children tend to take off their outer clothes,so it is important that all sweatshirts are labeled(贴有标签).

    I have received a few requests from parents asking if their children can wear summer uniforms this term.I am of the view that all children in the school should follow the school policy and be dressed in the appropriate uniforms.In the longer term,a number of US at school have questioned the need to have a winter and summer uniform.Perhaps.with careful consideration,we can develop a uniform that will serve children for the whole academic year.

    As the foggy(多雾)mornings start to appear,a number of parents have raised concerns over the safety of those children who walk to school.  Our dark green uniforms are not particularly visible to motorists.Hopefully, the “Uniform Committee” to be set up this term will deal with this particular issue.I will keep parents informed of the channels through which views may be expressed in future newsletters.

  We still have a “No Hat,No Play” rule on the playground,so children need to ensure that they have their sunhats in school at all times.

Yours sincerely,

  P D Tunesi

    Principal
