21、 Court declared segregated schools to be unconstitutional. In 1955, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. , effectively organized the Blacks of Atlanta, Georgia, in a bus boycott.

22、buses.In 1960, a group of Black college students decided that they, sis well as white persons, had the right to eat at a lunch counter in Greensboro, North Carolina.

26、 living creature-It grows, dances, needs oxygen, feeds on whatever it can find, and then dies. And when a forest fire rages out of control, threatening human lives and homes, it must be fought like a “wild animal.“ The fight is often desperate, since firefighters best efforts may be dwarfed by the f
27、ury of a large fire. But the fires own traits can be used against it.The heated air above a fire rises in a pillar of smoke and burnt gases, pulling fresh air in from the sides to replace it. Firefighters use this fact when they “fight fire with fire.“ They start a fire well in front of the one whic
28、h they are fighting. Instead of traveling on in front of the huge fire, the smaller fire is pulled back toward it by the updrafts of the larger blaze.

32、ers to the fire as a living creature by saying that it _.（分数：3.00）A.can be blown around by the windB.dwarfs mans best effortsC.heats the air above itD.may still win the struggle八、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：12.00)When Abraham Lincoln was a lawyer in rural Illinois, he and a certain judge in town once got
33、to bantering with one another about horse trading. The upshot of the discussion was that they agreed that the next morning, at nine oclock, they would meet in front of the general store and make a trade. Each would bring a horse, unseen by anyone up to that hour. If either backed out of the deal, he
34、 would forfeit $ 25. The money from each man was held by the local banker.The next morning, at the appointed hour, the Judge, came up the dirt road, leading the sorriest looking specimen of a horse ever seen in those parts of Illinois.
