“The pen is more powerful than the sword（刀）．” There have been many writers who used their pens to fight things that were wrong．Mrs Harriet Beecher Stowe was one of them．
She was born in the U．S．A．in 1811．One of her books not only made her famous but has been described as one that excited the world, and was helpful in causing a civil war and freeing the enslaved race．The civil war was the American Civil War of 1861, in which the Northern States fought the Southern States and finally won．
This book that shook the world was called Uncle Tom's Cabin．There was time when every English-speaking man, woman, and child has read this novel that did so much to stop slavery． Not many people read it today, but it is still very interesting．The book has shown us how a warm-hearted writer can arouse (唤起) people's sympathies．The author herself had neither been to the Southern States nor been a slave．The Southern Americans were very angry at the book, which they said did not at all represent true state of affairs, but the Northern Americans were wildly excited over it and were so inspired by it that they were ready to go to war to set the slaves free．

C．The Southern Americans hated the book while the Northern Americans like it．
D．The book had been read by many Americans．
52．What can we learn from the passage?
A．We needn't use weapons (武器) to fight things that are wrong．

C．We must understand the importance of literature and art．
D．No war can be won without such a book as Uncle Tom's Cabin．

Started in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of many colleges and universities in the United States．Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were all started before the American Revolution made the thirteen colonies(殖民地)into states．
In the early years, these schools were much alike．Only young men attended colleges．All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew．Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world．When the students graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers．
In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors．Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvard’s law school．In 1852,Havard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German, as well as Latin and Greek．Soon it began teaching American history．
As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects．Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them．
Special colleges for women were started．New state universities began to teach such subjects as farming, engineering and business．Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities．Most of them are divided into smaller schools that deal with special fields of learning．There is so much to learn that one kind of school cannot offer it all．

Indonesia’s coral reefs (珊瑚礁)are in trouble．Coral mining, industrial pollution and poisonous agricultural run off all play a role in their destruction, but the fishermen have been the worst offenders．They not only bomb fish but also poison them with cyanide, an equally destructive practice．The fishermen are also among the biggest potential victims (受害者)．Two thirds of Indonesia’ s 7,000 coastal villages are close to coral reefs and thus depend for their livelihood on the harvest of reef fish．The disappearing reefs are already leading to a dramatic decline in the productivity of coastal fisheries and to increasing fights among fishermen．
Indonesia’s reefs are vast —— they cover 51,000 square kilometers, surround 17,500 islands and stretch 3,500 kilometers ——but they are not infinite．Many foreign experts and Indonesians fear that the region’s entire marine environment could be seriously damaged if the reefs keep dying at their present rate．“The overall picture is depressing, says Ian Dutton, Indonesian director of an environmental group Depressing, but not hopeless．
Despite the destruction, environmentalists have in recent years made significant progress in changing the hearts and minds of the fishermen．Working closely with local Indonesian authorities in North Sulawesi and less populated eastern Indonesia, where most of the country’ s reefs are located, they have succeeded in preventing destructive: fishing practices and coral mining from overwhelming the reefs．
Increasing numbers of fishermen are waking up to the threat and protecting the life -- sustaining coral before it’s too late．Nuhung, a 56-year-old fisherman, says, “I always knew blast fishing was harmful．Then I suddenly realized that by bombing the reefs I was destroying not only my own but my children’s future．”
57．In the text the author_____．
A．presents us some facts and people’s opinions as well
B．shows that he’s worried about the situation, but still feels a little hopeful
C．says he’s delighted and meanwhile, depressed
D．disagrees with what’s being done and gives suggestions
58．The underlined word “infinite” in the 2nd paragraph most probably means_____．
A．incomplete B．short C．unfit D．limitless
59．Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the text?
A．But for the fishermen’s protection, the reefs would disappear soon．
B．More and more fishermen have realized their mistakes．
C．Without the coral reefs, the fishermen would have nothing for their livelihood
D．Some practical measures have been taken to stop the situation worsening．
60．The fishermen are named “worst offenders” because
A．they defend their rights of mining the coral reefs too eagerly
B．they wake up too late to realize the terrible situation
C．they use the fishing ways, which destroy the coral reefs
D．they pretend to follow the government’s rules

According to a recent survey, about 25 percent of college students have a part-time job．During summer vacation, this figure will increase to 72 percent．College students are working as tutors, waiters or salesmen．
Why do they want part-time jobs？First，they want to earn money to help cover the increasingly higher college tuition．Second, they hope to be economically independent and buy whatever they want．
In my opinion, by doing part-time jobs, college students can gain some society experience and broaden their outlook．What’s more, part-time jobs can provide them with a valuable chance/opportunity to know the outside world．So it’s of great significance for college students to do part-time jobs．
