The soldiers were, therefore, given training in camouflage. They were shown how to paint their trucks in irregular patterns with pale green, yellow, and brown paints, and then to cover them with nets to which they had tied small pieces of cloth.The driver of the biggest truck had a lot of trouble camouflaging it. He spent several hours painting it, preparing a net and searching for some heavy rocks with which to hold the net down. When it was all finished, he went for lunch.When he came back from his meal, he was surprised and worried to see that his camouflage was completely spoilt by the truck’s shadow, which was growing longer and longer as the afternoon advanced. He stood looking at it, not knowing what to do.Soon an officer arrived, and he, too, saw the shadow, of course.“Well,” he shouted to the poor driver, “What are you going to do about it? If an enemy plane comes over, the pilot will at once know that there is a truck there.”“I know, sir,” answered the sol dier.“Well, don’t just stand there doing nothing!” said the officer.“What shall I do, sir?” asked the poor driver.“Get your spade and throw some sand over the shadow, of course!” answered the officer.56.

We get them in newspapers, over the radio and on television. Sometimes cinemas also show us newsreels(新闻影片).The main purpose of a newspaper is to provide news. If you examine a newspaper closely, you will find that there are all types of news: accidents, floods, fires, wars, fashions, sports, books, etc. The news covers everything that happens to people and their surroundings. Sometimes there are news items which are very amusing.A news report is usually very short, except when it is about something very important, but it contains a lot of information. It is also written in short paragraphs. The first paragraph is, in fact, a summary of the news item. It gives all the necessary information—what, when, where, how and why. The other paragraphs give full details of the subject. There may also be interviews with people. The words actually spoken by them are within inverted commas(引号).Often there are photographs with the news to make it more interesting.61. In this passage, which of the following is mentioned as sources of new reports?A. Cinemas, television and Internet.B. Television, Internet and newspapers.C. Internet, newspapers and cinemas.D.

After hearing the news, it’s natural for students — no matter how old they are or where they go to school — to worry about whether this type of incident may someday happen to them.So how safe are schools? It’s actually safer to be in a school than in a car. Twice as many 15-to-19-year-olds die in car accident s than in shootings (and that’s all shootings, not just the ones that happen in schools). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, less than 1% of all homicides (杀人罪) among school-age children happen on school grounds or on the way to and from school. So the vast majority of students will never experience violence at school.However, some schools have re-evaluated their safety needs in response to the concerns of families and communities. Some now require that guests check in at the office or have more guards on duty. Some schools have fixed metal detectors. Another thing that helps make schools safer is greater awareness of problems like bullying and discrimination. Many schools have practiced programs to fight these problems and to help teachers and administrators know more about protecting students from this type of violence.The cause of school violence isn’t easy to understand. There is no single reason why students become violent. Some are just copying behavior they’ve seen a t home, in the streets, or in videogames, movies, or television. There’s one thing experts do agree on, though: Having access to guns or other weapons makes it easier for some people to lash out against the things or people they don’t like.68. Which of the following statements can prove that schools are safe?A. About 99% of 15- to-19-year-olds are safe at school.B. Fewer students have died in car accidents than in shootings.C. Students shot to death at school are half of all students.D. Fatal shootings of students are less than 1% of all homicides.69. After schools have re-evaluated their safety needs, ________.A. families will be more concerned about schoolsB. communities will be responsible for schoolsC. teachers will pay more attention to shootingsD. administrators will arrange to have more guards on duty70. From the last paragraph we can conclude that ______.A. experts have found no reason for school violenceB. students with weapons are easily upset about thingsC. school violence could be copied from violence in societyD. no single reason makes students violent71. We could probably see this passage in ______.A. an analysis reportB. a realistic novelC. a case investigationD. a news journalEThe University of Wales, Bangor has been rated the top university in the UK for the help and support provided for students by the Times Higher Education Supplement.We want to make sure all our students are happy and that they enjoy their time here in Bangor.
