The next step is for the vessel to beremoved from the area entirely.The Costa Concordia is twice the weight of the Titanic. The ship itself didnt budge (稍微移动）for the first three hours of the operation, Sergio Girotto told reporters. He and other engineers worked for 19 hours before Concordia was declared completely upright.The Costa Concordia capsized on January 13, 2012，after its captain, Francesco Schettino，broughtthe ship too close to the shore. The ship hit coastal rocks, which caused serious damage and allowed water to pour in.

The Concordias captain is currently on trial for causing a shipwreck and abandoning his ship.The operation to right the ship is called parbuckling.

Would you join a military that asked you to risk sacrificing your life but separated you from other soldiers because of the color of your skin? That is precisely what the Tuskegee Airmen did. They were brave, intelligent, African-American men and women who fought for the United States in World War II.In 1940, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt agreed to allow African Americans to fly airplanes in the military. Before that, African Americans could only serve in the Armed Forces as part of the ground troops. The first African American airmen reported for duty in 1941. They began their training outside of Tuskegee, Alabama. (79) The soldiers were completely separated by race and the two races could not communicate. About 450 African American pilots finished the training. These men were the original Tuskegee Airmen.The Tuskegee Airmen had an amazing record. They did not lose any of the bombers they were escorting (护航). When the war was over in 1945，the Tuskegee Airmen were heroes. But when they returned to America, they were appalled to find out that they were still treated like second-class citizens. They faced the same segregation (种族隔离）and discrimination (歧视）as they had before they began their training.Frederick Henry, one of the original Tuskegee Airmen, lives in Detroit, Michigan. Because he was from the North，he would often forget the segregation rules of the South. Once, Henry was on a bus alone with a white bus driver. Soon, after the two had talked for a while，a wave of other passengerscame on the bus. A problem arose when some white passengers were still standing, which was against the rules. Henry was put off the bus, even though he was the first person to board the bus and had paid his fare.One thing did change, however. In 1948，President Harry S. Truman signed an executive orderprohibiting segregation in the military. Eventually, the Tuskegee Airmen were officially thanked for their amazing efforts in the war.6. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. American Soldiers in World War IIB. American Civil Rights MovementC. The Tuskegee AirmenD. Racial Discrimination in the U. S.7. What docs the word “appalled” in the third paragraph probably mean?A. Reluctant.B. Pleased.C. Shocked.D. Relieved,8. It can be inferred from the passage that Henry.A. refused to give up his seat to a white passengerB. refused to pay his bus fareC. had a fight with the bus driverD. was the last person to board the bus.9.

On a personal level, it helps keep us awake and active. (80) On a much general level, it has helped shape our history and continues to shape our culture.Coffee plants grow wild in parts of Africa and were probably used by travelling tribes (部落）forthousands of years，but it wasnt until the 1400s that people figured out they could roast its seeds. “Then it really took off,” said historian Mark Pendergrastauthor of Uncommon Grounds: the History of Coffee and How It Transformed Our World. By the 1500s, the drink had spread to coffeehouses across the Arab world Within another 150 years, it took Europe by storm. “It actually had a major impact on the rise of business,” Pendergrast says. Coffeehouses became a spot not just to enjoy a cup but to exchange ideas.The insurance industry was founded hundreds of years ago in one of Londons 2,000 coffeehouses. Literature, newspapers and even the works of great composers like Bach and Beethoven were also inspired in coffeehouses.It is often said that after the Boston Tea Party of 1773, when American colonists (殖民者）attackedBritish tea ships and threw large boxes of tea into the harbor， Americans everywhere switched over to drinking coffee. “Theres a lot of truth to the story, I found,” Pendergrast says. He mentions a letter John Adams wrote to his wife, Abigail, in which the Founding Father declares his love of tea but says he will have to learn to accept coffee instead, because drinking tea had become unpatriotic (不爱国的)For all the upsides coffee has brought the modem world, it also brought its fair share of downsides, too. Europeans carried coffee with them as they colonized various parts of the world, and this frequently meant they made people into slaves in order to grow it.11.
