Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer sheet 1.Rocket Renaissance------ T he Ear of Private Spaceflight Is About to StartBackgroundTwo years ago, people witnessed the first space travel by Spaceship One. Three people were involved in this flight: Burt Rutan, who designed the craft, and Mike Melvill, who flew it—although they were ably assisted by Paul Allen, one of the founders of Microsoft, who paid for it. Certainly, people have long been known that manned spaceflight was possible. What they showed was that it is not just a game for governments. Private individuals can play, too.People involvedNow, lots of people want to join in, and most of them have just met up at the International Space Development Conference in Los Angeles, to engage in that mixture of camaraderie and competition that characterises the beginnings of a new technology. And, as might be expected, they have two of the necessary ingredients of success: ideas and money.First, the money. So far, more than $1 billion is known to have been committed to building private spaceships and the infrastructure to support them. For example, Mr.. Rum's follow-up vehicle, Spaceship Two, is expected to cost its backers, Virgin Galactic, $240m for a fleet of five. The spaceport in New Mexico from which these are intended to fly will account for another $225m, although New Mexico's government is planning to raise this money itself.These are not small sums, of course. On the other hand, Virgin Galactic has already banked $14m of deposits towards the $200,000 fare from people who want to travel on Spaceship Two, even though it has yet to be built, let alone flown.All this suggests that spaceflight, if not exactly entering the age of the common man, is at least entering the age of the moderately prosperous enthusiast, For entrepreneurs, it is no longer necessary to have billions of dollars to get into space; millions will now do. And for those who merely wish to travel there, and have enough money in their bank account, reality is favourable.Get startedAs with aircraft a century ago, a lot of designs are competing with each other, and there is no certainty about which will succeed. The initial goal is to build a "suborbital" vehicle. This will not have to develop the tremendous speed needed to go into orbit around the Earth, instead, it will travel briefly into space, offering a short thrilling ride out of the atmosphere, a few minutes of weightlessness, and a spectacular view of the planet from about lOOkin. Four important criteria are how you take off, what fuel you use, what your craft is made of, and how you come back.Most people's vision of a rocket launch is straight up from the ground. But, of the five vehicles most likely to be developed, two will actually be launched from the air. Spaceship Two will be carded to high altitude by a purpose-built aircraft known as Eve before its rocket motor is ignited. And Explorer, a vehicle being designed by Space Adventures, will be launched from the top of a high-altitude Russian research plane called the M-55X, according to Eric Anderson, the firm's president and chief executive.As Dennis Jenkins, a consultant engineer at NASA, America's space agency, points out, this is similar to using a two-stage rocket to get into space, with the aircraft acting as the first stage. However, a plane offers several advantages over a throw-away booster rocket. First, it can be used again. Second, it uses oxygen from the air, rather than having to carry its own oxidant, which saves weight. Third, it is lifted by wings. That means the atmosphere is an advantage, rather than ahindrance. All this means that the spacecraft itself can be lighter and cheaper.Not everyone wants to run two vehicles, though. Jeff Greason, president of XCOR Aerospace, a firm based in Mojave, California, is developing a two-person, ground-launched suborbital rocketplane called Xerus. Launching from the ground, says Mr. Greason, is more difficult than air launching, but he reckons that in this case it has significantly lower operating costs.Fuel choicesThe second important design choice is the type of fuel. Unlike a jet engine, a rocket carries its own oxidant （氧第剂）.This is why it can operate in space. Sometimes that oxidant is oxygen itself, in liquid form. In that case the fuel, too, is usually liquid-either kerosene （煤油）or liquid hydrogen （氢）一and the two liquids are stored in separate tanks until they meet in the rocket's combustion chamber. Alternatively, both fuel and oxidant are solid, and are loaded pre-mixed, like the propellant of a firework rocket.Spaceship Two, though, follows the design of Spaceship One and is powered by a mixture of the two. The combustion chamber of a mixture is partly filled with solid fuel but no oxidant. However, the fuel is coated round the inside of the chamber, leaving a hole through the middle into which a liquid or gaseous oxidant can be pumped, and out of which the exhaust emerges. In Spaceship One, the fuel was rubber and the oxidant a liquefied gas called nitrous oxide （一氧化二氮）.Proponents of mixture say they are safer than either pure solid or pure liquid rockets. George Whittinghill, Virgin Galactic*s chief technologist, says that they are safer than solid rockets because the flow of oxidant can be controlled, and combustion halted, if there is a problem. Solid rockets, like the fireworks they resemble, cannot be stopped until they run out of fuel. On the other hand liquid-fuelled engines, though they can be shut down, are complex and temperamental. As Mr. Whittinghill observes, "they have pumps, seals, valves and lines everywhere, and there is a lot that potentially could go wrong."All this rather irrates those working on liquid propulsion. Richard Pournelle, head of investor relations at XCOR Aerospace, says the comparison is unfair. Liquid propulsion is routine in rocketry while hybrids are still rare. Numbers alone, therefore, mean that liquid-fuelled rockets blow up more often. That, Mr. Poumelle argues, does not prove that they are inherently unsafe. Chuck Lauer, vice- president of business development for Rocketplane, another firm going down the liquid-fuelled route, agrees and argues that kerosene is widely used as aviation fuel and nobody complains that it is unsafe.1.It is only two years ago that people became aware of the fact that manned spaceflight was actually possible.2.Spaceflight is possible for individuals who want to fly in the space and who have the money.3.The initial goal of building an aircraft is to make the vehicle fly, and speed was not such a primary consideration.4.All of the five vehicles most likely to be developed will be launched from the air.5.Although it is possible to launch the spaceship both from ground and from the air, some people believe it's more cost-effective to launch it from ground.6. A consultant engineer at NASA points out that using aircraft acting as the first Stage provides several advantages over a throw-away booster rocket.7.In the design considerations of a spaceship, fuel choice is as important as the method of launching.8. A rocket carries its own oxidant, and its fuel is usually either kerosene or.9.Proponents of mixture say that they are than either pure solid or pure liquid rockets.10.Proponents of kerosene cite the example of using it as fuelPart III Listening ComprehensionSection ADirections: At the end of each conversation, one or more questions will be asked about what was said.

However, the argument for this view goes as follows.In the beginning, human beings viewed the (49) forces of the word一even seasonal changes 一as unpredictable, and they sought through various means to control these feared powers. Those (50) which appeared to bring the desired results were then (51) and repeated until they hardened into fixed rituals. Though it is simple to describe the process, they believe, the actual happening might last long. (52) stories arose which explained or veiled the (53) of the rites.As time passed, some rituals were abandoned, but the stories, later called myths, (54) and provided material for art and drama. Those who believe that drama came from ritual also argue that those rites contained the seed of theater (55) music, dance, and masks were almost always used. Furthermore, a suitable site had to be provided for (56) and there was clear division between the "acting area" and "auditorium".

You should decide on the best choice and mark thecorresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneA feature of US education that we have not yet discussed is continuous classroom interaction between teacher and students. From Los Angeles to New York, and from Chicago to Houston, educators believe that students master information by discovering it for themselves. They believe that teachers do not actually teach, but simply help students learn. In this view, learning takes place through a process of challenging old ideas and asking questions. The faculty member aims to exchange ideas with students, rather than simply tell them what they should know.The concept of constantly exchanging ideas may seem strange to you at first. Perhaps you come from a country where people believe that whatever is written in a book must be true, and that teachers are always right in matters of learning. If so, you will probably find the United States system disquieting. Of course, American students know that their textbooks are mostly right and that their teachers are better informed than they are. But they think for themselves and their teachers expect them to ask questions and challenge ideas. The point, again, is not that Americans have the "right" approach to learning, but that the interactive classroom is a strong feature of US education.Comparatively few courses in the university classroom are so clearly organized for interaction. Nevertheless, the course in which a professor lectures steadily to hundreds of silent students is relatively rare in the United States. Enrollments are often limited (many classes will have fewer than 30 students), so that all students have a chance to participate. Where the lecture format is necessary, as in a freshman chemistry course, the large class meets once or twice a week, then divides into small group meetings. The lecture is used to present information efficiently 一for example, through slides and demonstrations as well as actual lecturing 一but group meetings provide important sessions where homework can be reviewed and questions answered.57.Which is the best summary of the information in the text?[A]How to adapt to classrooms in the United States.[B]Classroom in the United States: advantages and disadvantages.[C]Features of classrooms in the United States. [D] Students-teacher relationship in the United States.58.Which of the following is rare in a typical American classroom?[A] Intense interaction. [B] Heated discussion.[C] Listening to a lecture. [D] Frequent questions from students.59.What does the word "disquieting" (Line 3, Para. 2) mean?[A] Uncomfortable. [B] Great. [C] Noisy [D] Difficult.60.What is the aim of faculty members in the US universities?[A] To give students freedom. [B] To give them challenging tasks.[C] To tell the students what they should know. [D] To exchange ideas with the students.61.What is the propose of having a lecture course?[A] To present information effectively. [B] To encourage students exchange ideas with each other.[C] To save time and space. [D] To review homework-Passage TwoA boy aged eight who suffered brain damage at birth has spoken his first words after making friends with a dolphin. Well-wishers raised more than $10,000 to send Nikki Brice to Miami for treatment at a therapy center where handicapped youngsters are encouraged to swim with dolphins.After eight years of silence, Nikki's mother, Tabitha was astonished to hear him say "in" as she helped him out of the pool where he had been swimming with four dolphins, including their most famous, Flipper. Since that first breakthrough, eight days ago, he has learnt to say "please" and "duck".Family, friends and celebrities including the Spice Girls, the musician Ben Elton and film-actress Deborah Kerr helped to raise the money for him to spend nearly three weeks at the Human Dolphin Therapy Center at Miami's Sea-quarium. The center uses 40-minute sessions with trained dolphins alongside intensive conventional therapies. The conventional therapies included the usual one-to-one speech therapy sessions.Although Nikki had been nervous, his mother said that he soon enjoyed playing with the dolphins. Mrs. Brice, 30, said:"On the third day he was swimming in the dolphin enclosure. We hadn't been there for long when Nikki was told to get out of the water, at the end of the session, and he stood very quietly at the edge of the tank.""Nikki must have thought he wasn't going to be allowed to go swimming with the dolphins again because he suddenly pointed at the water and said 'in*. He was telling us he wanted to get back in to the water. We just stood there in shock because it was so unexpected. Once we got over it we quickly told him he could go in again and he soon cheered up. For years, I have hoped to hear Nikki speak."The person in charge of Nikki's treatment is David Nathanson, who pioneered dolphin therapy 20 years ago. The center claims to have helped more than 1,000 children to overcome problems, from brain damage to learning difficulties. However, the reasons behind is still unknown.62.According to the article, which of the following statements is TRUE about the boy in the story?[A] He has a heating problem. [B] He suffered brain damage at birth.[C] He is afraid of dolphins. [D] He cannot swim.63.How much money has been raised for the boy's treatment in the therapy center?[A] More than $10,000. [B] Less than $10,000. [C] More than $1,000. [D] Less than $1,000.64.What are the treatments used at the center?[A] Swimming sessions with dolphins. [B] Conventional therapies. [C] Both A and B. [D] Not mentioned.65.Which of the following words or phrases can best describe the results of the treatment?[A] Pessimistic. [B] Surprisingly good. [C] Opposite to people's expectation. [D] Unknown.66.Why is the treatment so helpful?[A] The children love to play with dolphins. [B] Conventional therapies are helpful.[C] Swimming helps. [D] The masons are still unknown.Part V ClozeDirections: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

As you may have felt, learning English has become increasingly important, even though it is not your major. Don't be surprised. Just think about the need to communicate with foreign experts in the future work, or the need to read information and materials in English in your future work. Actually, learning English also provides an access to another culture. That being said, I would like to share with you my own experience of how to learn English.The most important thing in learning English, I believe, is to learn to use it. It means that English learning should not be regarded as an isolated learning activity in classrooms. It should be integrated into your daily life. In fact, more opportunities are presented to you in our everyday life. First, it provides more up-to-date language usages. Second, it gives you the context of language usage. After all, language is about communication. Thus, to learn to use it in real situations will help you better master it. Therefore, you should grasp every opportunity of using English. Moreover, you should also be aware of the learning that might occur in our daily life. For example, when you notice a brand name, or when you watch a foreign movie, try to identify useful expressions or usages.Of course, learning English is not easy. However, the process is full of fun. So long as you make efforts and find your ways, you will surely learn it well.Yours, Li Fang Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer sheet 1.For questions , markY (for YES)if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage;N (for NO)if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage;NG (for NOT GIVEN)if the information is not given in the passage.For questions, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.题 1 - 10Rocket RenaissanceThe Ear of Private Spaceflight Is About to Start Background Two years ago, people witnessed the first space travel by Spaceship One.

After all, it is going to be your home, perhaps for quite a long time, and you want to be happy with it. You have to decide exactly what kind of house you want, how much you can afford to pay, and the type of neighborhood you wish to live in.Last week arranged to see a house that was for sale.The agent said it might need a few repairs, but he thought I should look at it anyway! he told me it was a bargain. Some bargain! The roof leaked and the pumps didn’t work. The front st eps were broken and the back door had no lock on it. It needed to be painted both inside and outside. It was in terrible condition.“What do you think?” the agent asked.“it isn’t exactly what I want,” I told him.“You’re very difficult to please,” he said. “Perhaps you’d better build a house for yourself.”Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.11.What isn’t mentioned as the things to consider when one is looking for a house?12.Why didn’t she take the house?13.What did the agent say at the end of the story?Passage TwoToday we talk over long distance without difficulty. The human voice is carried by efficient technical devices, such as radio or telephone. Written messages can be sent just as fast—by telegraph or e-mail. These systems depend on the discovery of electricity. People managed without electric current for many centuries. People with a message often had only one choice, namely, to send a messenger. Here and there other means of communication were developed, for example, the smoke signals of the American Indians. The receiver of the signal had to be within eye range and on a clear day. Africans developed another similar device, the talking drums. This carried news from village to village, for instance, warning of enemy attack. The South Sea islanders used hollowed-out trees sounding like huge gongs. Each such signaling system needs two major elements: a medium and a code. The medium is the physical device for conveying the message. The code is needed to turn words into signals. Each signal must mean the same to the drummer and to the listener—to the transmitter and to the receiver.Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.14.What does the passage mainly talk about?15.Why did Africans use talking drums?16.Who used hollow-out drums to send messages?Passage ThreeAn odd thing happened to me last Sunday. It was such a beautiful day that I decided to go for a leisurely drive in the country.On the way home, my motor stopped. I was out of gasoline on a lonely road far from a town. I decided to walk until I found someone who could sell me a gallon or two of gasoline.I had walked almost a mile before I finally found a big house near the road. I was glad to see it because it was starting to get dark.I knocked on the door a nd a little old lady with long white hair answered. She said, “I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Come in. tea is almost ready.”“But I only came for some gasoline,” I answered. I couldn’t imagine what she was talking about. “Oh, Alfred! Gasoline? You used to prefer tea.”I quickly explained that my car was out of gasoline, but she didn’t seem to hear me. She just kept calling me Alfred and talking about how long it had been since she had seen me. She was behaving very strangely and I was anxious to leave. As soon a s she went to get the tea I went out of the house as fast as I could.Fortunately, there was another house down the road, and I was able to buy several gallons of gasoline. When I told the man about my experience, he said, “Oh, that is Mi ss Emily. She lives by herself in that big house. She is peculiar, but she wouldn’t hurt anyone. She’s still waiting for the man she was supposed to marry thirty years ago. The day before their wedding he went away and never came back.”Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.17.What did the speaker do last Sunday?18.What happened to him?19.What did the old lady do when she saw the speaker:20.Which of the following is untrue about Miss Emily.III.

One step is to make sure that the house seems a lived-in one. Living room curtains should be pulled down only half-way. Bedrooms that usually have the curtainspulled down at night should be left down . Another is to make sure that all outside locks are the dead-bolt type (双保险) . Still another is to leave several 100W lights burning and make sure that one is in the kitchen.Lights that turned on and off by themselves are the best. Then, too, it is a good idea to leave the radio turned on and set to a talking station. Any type of speaking makes a thief think twice before trying to enter. Finally, while away on holiday,make sure that nothing collects in front or in the house. Particularly, make certain that the newspaper is stopped and that a trusted neighbour has been asked to pick up the mail. Thieves are especially quick to notice piled-up newspapers and overpiled mail boxes.36. Why did the writer begin this piece with question?A. Because he wanted to catch the readers' attention.B. Because he wanted to have the readers guess the answer before reading.C. Because he wanted to sum up (概括) the topic of the piece.D. Because he wanted to make the readers understand him better.37. The word "live-in" in this passage means ______________.A. left emptyB. lively and cheerfulC. now being used by peopleD. laid inside38. What does the writer advise the people to do?A. Ask a neighbour to pick up the daily mailB. Make sure to have lights that turn on and off by themselves.C. Make sure the newspaper is handed over every day.D. Pull the living room curtains down.39. The most important room to leave a light burning in is the _________.A. bedroomB. kitchenC. living roomD. sitting-room( B )Mr Richards has worked in a small seaside town for about ten years and he and his wife have a comfortable house near the sea.During the winter they would be quite happy, but every summer a lot of their relatives used to spend holiday in their house , and it was much cheaper than staying in hotel . Finally one day in June Mr Richards complained to a clever friend of his who lived in the same place. "One of my wife's cousins is going to bring her husband and children and spend ten days with us next month again. How have you prevented all your relatives from coming to live with you in summer ?" "Oh,"the friend answered, "that is not difficult. I just borrow money from all the rich ones, and lend it to all the poor ones. After that, they seldom come again." Hearing this Mr Richards smiled.40. The relatives preferred to stay in Mr Richards' house because _____________.A. it was cool in summerB. they might spend less moneyC. they were more welcomeD. it was a comfortable place41. According to his friend's opinion, the poor relatives would stop going there so oftenbecause ________ .A. they were shy to borrow money againB. hey were afraid to be asked to pay off the debtsC. they had been ill-treatedD. it wasn't happy for the poor to meet the rich42. The best title for this passage is ___________.A. Such a Clever FriendB. Mr Richards and his FriendC. Money is ImportantD. Such Good Usage of Money43. After reading the passage we can infer _____________.A. Mr Richards still complains about the coming of his relatives in summerB. The friend of Mr Richards' hadn't as many relatives as RichardsC. Gradually Mr Richards succeeded in keeping his relatives out in summerD. sNone of Richards' relatives came to the seaside town fortheir holidays again( C )I wonder why American towns looks so much alike that I sometimes mix them up in my memory. The standard influence(影响)of mass production whose agents(代理商)are the travelling salesman, the mail-order house, the five-and-ten cent stores, the chain stores, the movies can hardly explain it. If you stay two days in Bologna and in Ferrare, or in Arles and in Avignon, you will never mix them up in all your life. But it may well happen that after you spend two days in St.Louis and in Kansas City the appearances of these two cities soon mix up. I think the reason for this is that these towns have not yet had time enough to develop their own characters. Similarly, children are much less different from each other than grown people.44. Which two of the following towns look so much alike?A. Bologna and FerrareB. Arles and AvignonC. St. Louis and Kansas CityD. Bologna and St. Louis45. In line 4 the word "it" refers to ____________.A. standard of townsB. similarity of townsC. people's memoryD. mass production46. American towns look very much alike because of ____________.A. the standard influence of mass productionB. their different appearancesC. not being fully developedD. having everything in common( D )Millions of stars are travelling about in space. A few form groups which journey together, but most of them travel alone.And they travel through a universe so large that one star seldom comes near to another. For the most part each star makes its journey in complete loneliness, like a ship on an empty ocean. The ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbor. From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds another anywhere neat it.We believe, however, that some two thousand million years ago, another star wandering(漫游) through space, happened to come near our sun, Just as the sun and the moon raise tides(潮汐)on the earth, so this star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun .But they were very different from the small tides that are raised in our oceans; a large tidal wave must have travelled over the surface of the sun, atlast forming a mountain so high that we cannot imagine it. As the cause of the disturbance(动荡) came nearer, so the mountain rose higher and higher. And before the star began to move away again, its tidal pull had become so powerful that this mountain was torn to pieces and threw off small parts of itself into space.These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since. They are the planets(行星).47. Millions of stars are _______________.A. following a regular path in spaceB. moving about without a fixed courseC. seldom wandering about in the universeD. always travelling together48. Some two thousand million years ago, the mountain on the sun was raised probably because__________.A. a large tidal wave of a star travelled over the surface of the sunB. another star happened to come near the sunC. the sun and the moon raised the tides on the earthD. the star moved away from the sun49. The article suggests that _____________ .A. our earth exists before the sunB. how space formedC. no one knows where the earth comes fromD. our earth used to be a high mountain on the sun50. The expression "the cause of the disturbance" refers to_________.A. the large tidal waveB. the powerful tidal pullC. the star coming near the sunD. one of the sun's planets51. In this article, the writer mainly wants to tell the readers __________.A. that the universe is so large that we cannot imagine itB. how the high mountains were formed on the sunC. why the tides over the surface of the sun were so powerfulD. where the planets in the universe came from( E )Contacts(交往) between Japan and the rest of the world have grown a great deal in the twentieth century. In the last thirty years, business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important. Many foreign companies now have offices in Japan and Japanese businessmen do business around the world.Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often bewilder the foreign businessman and make doing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.The American businessman, for example , wants of start talking business immediately . He wants quick decisions. He does not wait. TheJapanese, on the other hand , likes to arrive at decisions gradually after giving them a great deal of thought.Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means "Yes" or "No". This is because of cultural difference for a Japanese to say "No" directly.In English, it is easy to say "No" to something we do not want to do. But in Japan it is very difficult to say "No". To refuse an invitation or a request with "No", or a similar phrase, is felt to be impolite. It is thought to be selfish(自私)and unfriendly. So instead of saying "No" directly, the Japanese have developed many ways to avoid saying "No". These enable them to avoid hurting other people's feeling. However, this often makes communication with the Japanese difficult for foreigners to understand and follow.52. Paragraph one tells us that ______________ .A. It is not always easy for foreigners to do business in JapanB. Japan is a very important country for businessmenC. business contacts between Japan and the West are importantD. Japanese businessmen do business all around the world53. The word "bewilder" in paragraph 2 probably means _________.A. tireB. interestC. puzzleD. surprise54. From the passage we can know that _____________.A. American businessmen do things more quickly than Japanese onesB. American businessmen like to say "Yes" and "No"C. Americans usually say what they are thinkingD. Americans do not express themselves clearly55. The passage tells us that ________.A. Japanese businessmen are good at businessB. foreign businessmen should first try to understand JapaneseC. foreign businessmen must be more politeD. if you want to succeed you must learn from Japan第四部分：写作第一节：短文改错此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。

参考范文:Learning is a daily experience and a lifetime mission. This is a proverb full of logic. In other words, learning is significant in our whole life. Indeed, we can learn many things from it. If you understand it and apply it to your study or work, you’ll necessarily benefit a lot from it.There are many reasons which can explain this phenomenon and the following are the typical ones. The first reason is that learning can light our road in the coming future. There is no denying the fact that the society is developing increasingly fast and we are often easily surpassed by the people around. The only way to avoid this is to learn to improve ourselves. As an illustration, I’d like to take myself as an example. After graduation from college, my life has been full of working pressure, which contributes to my decision of pursuing further education. That’s why I can make my own way in such a competitive society.The effect of learning can be boiled down to two major ones. First, with the spirit of learning, we are more capable of overcoming the difficulties in the future. More importantly, we can enrich our spare time life by learning. No matter who you are, you must remember that learning is the basic skill in our life.写作第二版：For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the saying"Listening is more important than talking."

XX年英语CET4听力模拟试题美丽的蓝图，落在懒汉手里，也不过是一页废纸。

以下是为大家搜索的xx年英语CET-4听力模拟试题，希望能给大家带来帮助!更多精彩内容请及时关注我们!The chief prosecutor in the eastern U.S. city of Baltimore, Maryland has announced charges against sixpolice officers in the case of the death of a 25-year-old black man. Freddie Gray died in the hospital April 19th, a week after he was arrested.On Friday, State's Attorney Marilyn Mosby said there is probable cause to bring criminal charges against the officers involved in the arrest. She said the state medical examiner's office had ruled that Mr. Gray's death was a homicide. Also on Friday, that office said it had sent its report on the examination of Mr. Gray's body -- called an autopsy -- to the state's attorney.Ms. Mosby said Mr. Gray received a severe neck injury while being transported in a police vehicle after his arrest. She said he was not secured in the vehicle as he should have been. Earlier in the week, police admitted that Mr. Gray had not been secured in the van, an action that violates the department's rules.Ms. Mosby also said officers did not seek medical assistance although Mr. Gray said he needed it. And she said the knife found on Mr. Gray was legal for him to becarrying. The Baltimore Sun newspaper reports she told Mr. Gray's family that "no one is above the law." It also said Ms. Mosby believes Mr. Gray was "improperly arrested" because police had no legal reason to detain him.Charges against the officers include involuntary manslaughter, assault, misconduct and false imprisonment. The driver of the police vehicle faces second-degree murder and five other charges.Police gave their report on the case to the state's attorney's office on Thursday. That was one day earlier than the time limit police had set. The findings of the internal investigation have not been made public.Officials, citizen groups and others continue to work to restore calm to the city. For now, people are not permitted to be outside from 10 o'clock at night to fiveo'clock in the morning. Officials say this curfew will likely last a few more days. The streets have been mostly empty during the curfew, and the city has been mostly calm since the riots on Monday.Thousands of members of the Maryland National Guard, and police from Baltimore, the state of Maryland and other areas are patrolling the streets during the day and at night.The case of Freddie Gray in Baltimore has influenced demonstrations in other parts of the country, includingBoston, Cincinnati, New York, Washington and Philadelphia. Activists demonstrating in support of labor and immigrant rights on May 1 have added tensions with police to their message.Calls for returning order to BaltimoreMany people have condemned the actions of those who rioted on Monday. But they say that in addition toreturning order to the city, officials must deal with the reasons people are angry with police.Gerald Miller lives in Baltimore."Baltimore will recover. I think we will recover. Sure, sure, but it's gonna to take, you know, people getting involved, getting in the trenches not just in behind, you know a lectern, or when the camera's on, or whatever, you gotta get down here in it with the people. This is where the people are. This is where they're hurtin'."Cynthia Green also lives in the city."My heart is heavy for the, the people of Baltimore,for this munity, and all the other munities. And I'm sadfor the young people that got up caught up in all of this."Stephanie Rawlings-Blake is the mayor of Baltimore. She spoke to residents on Tuesday, after the rioting."We saw people ing together to reclaim our city, to clean our city and to help heal our city. I think this canbe our defining moment and not the darkest days that we saw yesterday."People had gathered peacefully for days demanding to know why Mr. Gray died. The violence began after thefuneral for Mr. Gray on Monday. Police say members of criminal groups joined the protestors. They say they did not expect that would happen.Officer Eric Kowalczyk is a spokesman for the Baltimore police. On Tuesday, he told reporters that police were expecting most of those who would gather after the funeral would be students."When we deployed our officers yesterday, we were deploying for a high school event. I don't think that there is anyone in the country that would expect us to deploy automatic weapons and armored vehicles to an event with 13, 14- and 15-year-olds."After the violence on Monday, Maryland Governor Larry Hogan declared a state of emergency. He moved his office and his top aides to the city.After the rioting, President Barack Obama said police cannot solve the problems in Baltimore by themselves."We can't just leave it to the police. I think there are police departments that have to do some soul searching.I think there are some munities that have to do some soulsearching. But I think we as a country have to do some soul searching."The president said rioting is not the same as protesting. And he said those who caused destruction must be punished.Later the president said it is important that the truth es out about what happened to Mr. Gray. He also noted that the individuals who are charged should receive fair treatment. Mr. Obama said the Justice Department and new U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch are municating with Baltimore officials to offer help if needed.Many of the protesters say they are angry about what they believe is continuing poor treatment of blacks by the police and what they say is the unwillingness of city officials to do anything about it. And they say there is little economic power in black neighborhoods. They say that has been a problem for many years.。
