KANDAHAR, Afghanistan–-- Afghans burned ...

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan–-- Afghans burned tires and chanted “Death to America” after U.S troops fired Monday(April 12, 2010) on a civilian bus near Kandahar, killing four people and wounding more than a dozen. Afghanistan’s president accused NATO of breaking its commitment to safeguard civilian lives.

The attack angered Afghan officials and the public in Kandahar, the Taliban’s birthplace, and dealt a blow to U.S and NATO efforts to win popular support for a coming offensive to drive the insurgents(叛乱分子) from the biggest city in the south. NATO expressed regret for the loss of civilian lives and said it was investigating.

Nearly 200 Afghans blocked highway where the shooting occurred, burning tires, firing weapons and chanting “Death to America” and other slogans. They also called for the ouster (forcing somebody out of a pasition) of Afghan President Hamid Karzai, a Kandahar native who has been appealing for the people here to support the U.S-led campaign against the Taliban.

“The Americans are constantly killing our civilians and the government is not demanding an explanation,” protester Mohammad Razaq said. “We demand justice from the Karzai government and the punishment of those soldiers responsible.”

Kandahar, a city of about a half million people, is nominally under government control, but the Taliban have stepped up infiltration(浸润), staging attacks and threatening local people.

“These foreigners have their enemies, but killing Afghans is not the answer,” said Abdul Hadi, who sells homemade herbal medicine in a public market. He said international forces should publish a schedule of their patrols(巡逻) so Afghans can keep out of the way.

“Better yet, I would like to see them leave Afghanistan,” he added.

Haji Zahir, who runs a transport firm, said it was time for U.S. and other foreign forces to withdraw from the country.

“They say they want to bring security. It is all lies, lies. They kill Afghans. That is not the way to bring security,” Zahir said.

46.According to the passage, we can safely conclude that____________.

A.American soldiers are killing Talibans effectively

B.Anger rises as US troops kill 4 Afghans on a bus

C.NATO expressed great dissatisfaction with American troops

D.Afghan President Hamid Karzai required NATO to withdraw

47.The underlined word in Paragraph 5 nominally most probably means____________.

A.completely unknown to the people in the world

B.partially well-known to the people across the globe

C.bearing the name of a famous person around the world

D.officially described as something, when this is not really true

48.As for NATO soldiers’ rude action, Abdul Hadi is ____________.

A.absolutely angry and upset        B.a little pleased but impatient

C.very angry and dissatisfied        D.impatient but bearable

49.We can infer from the passage that____________

A.NATO troops can completely control Afghanistan

B.NATO troops can bring security to Afghanistan

C.Afghans will accept NATO’s control sooner or later

D.it’s impossible for NATO to conquer Afghanistan and its people

50.Which statement is true according to the passage?

A.NATO fails to win popular support for a coming offensive.

B.Kandahar is the most important city in Afghanistan.

C.NATO has really brought security to Afghanistan.

D.NATO troops will withdraw from Afghanistan in the near future.

阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

     Nowadays, the pressures on schools and teachers are often passed on to students and parents. Students are tested more and assigned more homework. In the past 25 years, homework assignments have risen by 51% according to a 2008 study at the University of Michigan. That is an average of 12 extra hours of homework per week!

     Excessive homework often leaves no time for students to have fun or do something for themselves. Many parents spend at least three hours every night going through their children's work.

      However, the governments' efforts to cut the homework burden of primary and middle school students have drawn mixed reactions.  Ironically, though teachers have been widely criticized for piling on homework, it is parents who sometimes ask for more work for their children! When teachers don't give homework, some parents will go to the school and complain. They want teachers to assign homework every day as a means of making sure teachers do their job and the children have work to do.

Dear Patti

I’m writing to you for some advice on my studies. As you know, football is a very popular sport in the world and I am attracted to it and I have fallen in love with it, which makes me feel so crazy. I have spending lots of time doing many things related to it, like watching football matches, reading newspapers and magazines, and searching the Web for more information about football. As a result, it has certainly disturbed my normal study. Though I know to be a football fan is my hobby and my major adjective is to learn more knowledge in school, I can’t concentrate on my lessons and gradually I am tired of them. I am still a senior middle school student, and I’ll have my own business even when I grow up, so I am not likely to do a job in the field of football. But now I can’t stop myself from getting involved further with football. So I feel very depressed and want to know how to deal with the contradiction .

Sincerely yours,

Li Hua
