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(影響) 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(靈柩) 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.
【小題1】What is the main purpose of Susan’s email?
A.To make arrangements for Professor Hume’s class. |
B.To introduce to the students Rosa Parks. |
C.To help the students organize a lecture. |
D.To answer Professor Hume’s last email. |
A.Explain. | B.Send. |
C.Take. | D.Read. |
A.helped Condoleezza Rice achieve political success |
B.joined the civil rights movement at a young age |
C.made racial equality a common value in American society |
D.set a good example in her early life for other black Americans |
A.She was named “mother of the civil rights movement”. |
B.She was received by President Bush at the Capitol. |
C.She was given the Presidential Medal of Freedom. |
D.She was honored to lie in state at the Capitol. |
【小題1】A
【小題2】B
【小題3】C
【小題4】D
解析【小題1】這是一道主旨題。從文章的第一部分可以看出Susan轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)了Hume教授的郵件,郵件的內(nèi)容是安排大家閱讀一個(gè)課外讀物。
【小題2】這是一道詞義猜測題。從Susan的郵件可以看出Hume教授是希望Susan把這個(gè)郵件傳達(dá)給所有班上的同學(xué),所以forward的意思是“傳達(dá),轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)”的意思。
【小題3】這是一道歸納題。從第三段“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的政治影響是促進(jìn)了種族平等,她的行為改變了美國的歷史進(jìn)程。
【小題4】這是一道推斷題。根據(jù)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.”可知她被葬在國會大廈,通?偨y(tǒng)才能有這個(gè)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(貼有標(biāo)簽).
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(多霧)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
