As we all know, the war is an ancient custom which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always evil and usually foolish, but in the past the human race managed to live with it. Modern skill has changed this. Either man will stop war, or war will stop man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the greatest danger, but bacteriological(细菌学的) or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? If we succeeded in stopping war, there would be no danger for us. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not by contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in massacre(大屠杀), but by arbitration(仲裁) in accordance with agreed principles of law. It is not easy to change old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted. There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology(意识形态) would prevent war. I believe this to be a complete error. All ideologies are based upon beliefs without proof which are, at least, doubtful, and at worst, totally false.

Those people who believe them are willing to go to war in support of them.

The movement of world opinion during the past two years has changed very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a common belief that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course, very difficult problems remain in the international world, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that agreements should be reached even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between East and West, but between Man and the Hi-tech bomb. 51. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. We may face greater threat from weapons. B. Nuclear weapons are worst of all. C. Man’s idea of victory has changed.

D. Dangerous weapons are forbidden nowadays. 52. The author of the passage believe that______. A. it is impossible to live without war

B. differences between East and West will lead to war C. war will be stopped by modern skill

D. war must be stopped if man wants to survive

53. Which is the only way to stop war according to the author? A. To stop nuclear weapons.

B. To settle international issues through agreements. C. To destroy bacteriological and chemical weapons. D. To let the stronger side take over the world. 54. We can infer from the last paragraph that ______. A. nuclear war will definitely not take place B. real agreements have been reached now

C. world opinion is still divided on nuclear war

D. man is beginning to realize that nuclear war is the greatest enemy 55. What does the author feel while writing this passage? A. Hopeful. B. Doubtful. C. Worried. D. Disappointed.

阅读短文，按照题目要求用英语回答问题。

“Where are you going to college?” “I’m going to my local community college.” My answer seemed to be the magic phrase that would wipe the smile right off many people’s faces. It’s clear that people have a lot of misconceptions(误解) about community colleges. Many people think community colleges are only for people who couldn’t get into a four-year school. But it is not true. In high school, I always got A’s. But when it came to applying to colleges, I had no idea what I wanted to major in and couldn’t justify spending thousands of dollars at a 4-year school until I knew what I wanted to do. My parents were very supportive of my decision to attend the community college.

Some people will ask, “Since the community college is cheaper, will you get a good education?” I found that nearly all of my professors taught the same courses at 4-year colleges. My professors were knowledgeable and experienced, and I found many of the courses challenging.

Some people think if I attend the community college, I will miss out on the “college experience”. I must admit that this is something I worried about a great deal the summer before college. But I soon learned that the community college, just like any other college, is what you make of it. I strived to make the most of my time at the community college. I also made tons of friends by joining clubs and attending student government meetings.

I took a lot of different courses. I had an amazing professor who suggested I take her journalism class. Never having written for my high school newspapers, I dared not take it, but since she was so enthusiastic, I eventually decided to have a try. That one course was all it took for me to realize that I wanted to become a journalist. I look forward to graduating this May to pursue a career in broadcast journalism. Community colleges may not be for everyone, but for me it is a life-changing experience that has helped me discover who I am and the person I hope to become.

Dear teacher and schoolmates,

It’s a great pleasure for me to be here and share my experience of learning English with you.

To begin with, we should learn to learn efficiently, adopting some effective methods. Besides, developing a good habit is also of importance. It really benefits me a lot to preview lessons, get actively involved in class, and review what has been taught after class. Most importantly, I often listen to English programs on TV and on the radio and consult some English information from the Internet and other sources in my spare time, which helps to improve my English.

Now, I'd like to make some suggestions on English teaching in our school. Firstly, we should be given more opportunities to use what we’ve learned in class. Secondly, I hope our teachers can recommend more interesting books and magazines in order to make us better understand English. Finally, I suggest we have more English activities, such as English contests and English corners. Thank you for listening.
