Police fired teargas canisters to break up a crowd of rude youths performing anti-India protests Friday in the capital of India-controlled Kashmir. Dozens of youths suddenly appeared from Srinagar's main mosque（清真寺）after Friday prayers, shooting firecrackers, burning an Indian flag and shouting pro-Pakistan chants. The demonstrators threw rocks at security forces before the gathering was broken up.
Islamic separatists in Kashmir have been fighting to combine with Pakistan or to establish an independent homeland for two decades. Military officials say India's many states have been asked to bolster their security measures ahead of Independence Day celebrations on Saturday. Security officials in Srinagar say there will also be increased security at the stadium where the main festivities will take place. India will mark the 62nd anniversary of independence from its former colonial power, Britain.
Indian police are deploying（部署） in force in the capital of New Delhi and along the country's borders in preparation for Independence Day celebrations. Police and paramilitary forces patrolled（巡逻） parts of Srinagar, the capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir, on Friday. And there is increased security at transportation centers across the country.
Saturday marks the 62nd anniversary of India's independence from Britain, and the first Independence Day celebration since November terror attacks in Mumbai. The attacks, blamed on 10 gunmen sent by the Pakistani militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba, left more than 160 people dead.

【徐州市2012--2013学年度高二第一学期期末抽测】[]
Last week I visited one of my old neighborhoods in Washington D.C.I had not been there for twenty years and as I walked along the street, my mind was flooded by memories of the past. I saw the old apartment building where I had lived and the playground where I had played. As I viewed these once familiar surroundings, images of myself as a child there came to mind. However, what I saw and what I remembered were not the same. I sadly realized that the best memories are those left untouched.
My old apartment building, as I remember, was bright and alive. It was more than just a lace to live. It was a movie house, a space station, or whatever my young mind could imagine. I would steal away with my friends and play in the basement. This was always exciting because it was so cool and dark, and there were so many things there to hide among. There was a small river in the back of the building. We would go there to lie in the shade of trees and enjoy ourselves.
However, what I saw was completely different. The apartment building was now in disrepair. What was once more than a place to live looked hardly worth living in. The windows were all broken. The once clean walls were covered with dirty marks. The river was hardly recognizable. The water was polluted and the trees and flowers were all dead. The once sweet-smelling river now smelled terrible. It was really heartbreaking to see all this.
I do not regret having seen my old neighborhood. However, I do not think my innocent childhood memories can ever be the same. I suppose it is true when they say, “You can never go home again.”
56. In the first two paragraphs of the passage the writer tales to tell us that _________.
A. he was very imaginative when he was a child
B. he came from a very poor neighborhood
C. he lived in Washington D.C. for twenty years
D. he had pleasant memories of his old neighborhood
57. How did the writer feel when he visited his old neighborhood in Washington D.C.
A. Very sad. B. Quite excited.
C. Very regretful. D. Greatly surprised.
58. On his visit to his hometown, the writer found the old apartment building __________.
A. had been repaired B. seemed unfit to live in
C. could hardly be recognized D. looked dirty and smelt horrible
59.“You can never go home again”in the last sentence of the passage means that _________.
A. a visit to one's hometown will bring back many sad memories
B. one should never revisit his hometown after many years of absence
C. one will never find his hometown the same as it was in his childhood memory
D. a visit to one's hometown will bring back one's pleasant memories of home
【文章大意】文章主要介绍了作者故地重游的时候发现原来住的小公寓现在变得面目全非，已经不能居住了，感到非常的悲伤。
56.【答案】D
【试题解析】段落大意题。根据第一段的末尾和第二段的开头可知这一段讲的是过去的居住的小公寓景色非常好看而现在已经脏的无人居住了。故最佳答案是D项。
57.【答案】A
【试题解析】A 细节理解题。根据第一段However, what I saw and what I remembered were not the same. I sadly realized that the best memories are those left untouched.可知应选A项。

39.【答案】C
【试题解析】句意猜测题。根据划线前面的However, I do not think my innocent childhood memories can ever be the same. I suppose it is true可知他的家乡和他以前的不一样了，不能住了，故选C项。

Spring is here and so is the cycling season. Here are some tips on how to do it safely and comfortably.
Watch your feet—Pushing with the wrong part of the foot can raise your risk of developing a painful injury of the heel and arch (脚心), says Rob Werstine, a sports physiotherapist (理疗师) and board member of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. You should push with the ball of your foot, he says.
Layer up—While it's still cool, wear layers of clothing, with clothing close to the body that breathes and outer layers that do not absorb water. Go for bright colors that increase your visibility(可见度)．
Be reasonable—If you are just starting out and aren't in good shape, don't sign up for a 50-kilometre ride. And while cycling is great exercise for people who want to get into shape, if your doctor advises you not to do tiring exercise, cycling shouldn't be your starting position, Werstine says. Walk to begin getting into shape and then graduate to cycling.[来源:中+教+网z+z+s+tep]
Fix the fit—If you develop lower back pain or numbness in your hands and fingers from cycling, it could because your bike isn't adjusted properly for your height. A good cycle shop can help you find the right height for the seat and handlebars, but if you have continuing problems, consider consulting a bike fit physiotherapist, Werstine says.
Be mindful—You have to pay attention on the roads to vehicles, other cyclists and pedestrians ( 行人 ) . Consider taking a cycling safety course to practise your skills. Or do some reading about how to avoid dangerous cycling situations, , for instance, lists 10 types of car-bike accidents and how to avoid them.
60. Which part of the foot should one use when cycling
A. The heel. B. The arch. C. The toes. D.The ball.
61. From Paragraph 4 one can conclude ______
A. cycling is popular with people B. walking is better than cycling
C. not everyone can exercise by cycling D. cycling is helpful to everyone
62. According to the last paragraph, if you want to avoid danger when cycling, you should
a. consider taking a cycling safety course
b. search for information on
c. consider consulting a bike fit physiotherapist
d. adjust the bike properly for your height
A,
A. ab B. c.d C.a.c D.b.d
60.【答案】D
【试题解析】根据watch your foot中You should push with the ball of your foot, he says.可知选D项。
61.【答案】C
【试题解析】根据but if you have continuing problems, consider consulting a bike fit physiotherapist,可知并不是所有的人都能骑自行车旅游的。故选C项。
62.【答案】A[]

Last week I visited one of my old neighborhoods in Washington D.C.I had not been there for twenty years and as I walked along the street, my mind was flooded by memories of the past. I saw the old apartment building where I had lived and the playground where I had played. As I viewed these once familiar surroundings, images of myself as a child there came to mind. However, what I saw and what I remembered were not the same. I sadly realized that the best memories are those left untouched.
My old apartment building, as I remember, was bright and alive. It was more than just a lace to live. It was a movie house, a space station, or whatever my young mind could imagine. I would steal away with my friends and play in the basement. This was always exciting because it was so cool and dark, and there were so many things there to hide among. There was a small river in the back of the building. We would go there to lie in the shade of trees and enjoy ourselves.
However, what I saw was completely different. The apartment building was now in disrepair. What was once more than a place to live looked hardly worth living in. The windows were all broken. The once clean walls were covered with dirty marks. The river was hardly recognizable. The water was polluted and the trees and flowers were all dead. The once sweet-smelling river now smelled terrible. It was really heartbreaking to see all this.
I do not regret having seen my old neighborhood. However, I do not think my innocent childhood memories can ever be the same. I suppose it is true when they say, “You can never go home again.”

C. Very regretful. D. Greatly surprised.
58. On his visit to his hometown, the writer found the old apartment building __________.
A. had been repaired B. seemed unfit to live in
C. could hardly be recognized D. looked dirty and smelt horrible
59.“You can never go home again”in the last sentence of the passage means that _________.
A. a visit to one's hometown will bring back many sad memories
B. one should never revisit his hometown after many years of absence
C. one will never find his hometown the same as it was in his childhood memory
D. a visit to one's hometown will bring back one's pleasant memories of home

Spring is here and so is the cycling season. Here are some tips on how to do it safely and comfortably.
Watch your feet—Pushing with the wrong part of the foot can raise your risk of developing a painful injury of the heel and arch (脚心), says Rob Werstine, a sports physiotherapist (理疗师) and board member of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association. You should push with the ball of your foot, he says.
Layer up—While it's still cool, wear layers of clothing, with clothing close to the body that breathes and outer layers that do not absorb water. Go for bright colors that increase your visibility(可见度)．
Be reasonable—If you are just starting out and aren't in good shape, don't sign up for a 50-kilometre ride. And while cycling is great exercise for people who want to get into shape, if your doctor advises you not to do tiring exercise, cycling shouldn't be your starting position, Werstine says. Walk to begin getting into shape and then graduate to cycling.[来源:中+教+网z+z+s+tep]
Fix the fit—If you develop lower back pain or numbness in your hands and fingers from cycling, it could because your bike isn't adjusted properly for your height. A good cycle shop can help you find the right height for the seat and handlebars, but if you have continuing problems, consider consulting a bike fit physiotherapist, Werstine says.
Be mindful—You have to pay attention on the roads to vehicles, other cyclists and pedestrians ( 行人 ) . Consider taking a cycling safety course to practise your skills. Or do some reading about how to avoid dangerous cycling situations, , for instance, lists 10 types of car-bike accidents and how to avoid them.

Dear Li Hua,
I am glad to know that you are going to study in Canada, so I am writing to tell you something about this country.
Canada is the second largest country with the largest number of lakes in the world. The majority of people live in the central part of the country, while fishing and forestry are of great importance in the eastern part. I suggest that you (should) choose to study in the east, where not many international students study and tuition is lower. Most people will go to a clinic instead of a hospital, because it is very expensive to see a doctor there. So I advise you to buy hospitalization insurance, which is 54 Canadian dollars a year.
