traffic accident.This accident happened because of a truck carrying a lotof dangerous materials that were leaking out(外漏).After being told by the policeman that we would be sitting there until the clean-up was completed.We drivers got out of the truck to have a rest.For most of the time,there were five of us standingby my truck,complaining(抱怨).Another truck with two elderly people stopped near us.The man,Joe,let the window down and askedwhy no one was moving.Soon we were all talking with this couple.I said that if I had known aboutthis,I would have bought something to drink,because I was becoming thirsty.The lady,Anna,saidthat they had plenty of water in the fridge in their truck and offered everyone something to drink.She said she could makesandwiches for us.While Anna was makingthe sandwiches,she was singing likea songbird.Being close to 70,I guessed,she had a fantastic voice.I saw a Mississippi license on the truck.I asked what part of Mississippi they were said theywere from Biloxi.Knowing that Biloxi was damaged by a hurricane,I asked him about the disaster(灾难).Joe said that they had lost almost everything.Everything they had was in the truck.Joe said that their son was living around Harrisonburg,Virginia and they were going there Therewas a home for sale and they were going to start all over again there.Starting over at their age,we know,would not be easyThese wonderful people lost practically(实际上地)everything they hadand still would not acceptany money for their food and drinks.Joe said that it was better to give than to receive.52.What was the writer doing after being stopped by the accidentA.He was complaining on the truck.B.He was sleeping by the truck.C.He was standing by the truck with some other drivers.D.He was carrying a lot of dangerous

drinks.B.The old couple from Mississippi were planning to start over in Virginia.C.The son of the couple was living in Mississippi.D.Joe thought receiving is better than giving in life.55.Which of the following is the right structure of the passage(=Paragraph1,=Paragraph2)A./C./B./D./EYou re rushing to school and a man ahead of you suddenly falls down.Do you stop to help Some peoplelook away or keep on walking rather than stop and get involved(介入)“There is an inclination(倾向)that you dont need to take action.The first thought that comeinto your mind often stop you from offering help.”says Ervin Staub,who studies the role of bystanders.Again and again,good and caring people do not come to give a hand to others They know they shouldact and yet,for reasons they themselves dont understand,people sometimes dont get involved.Longtimeresearchers of bystanders continue to study with the question,“Why”One thing we do know is that the more unclear a situation is,the less possible people are to help.Lets say you see vapors(水汽)coming out of a building.You ask yourself,“Is it steam(蒸汽)orsmoke”If you are not sure,you look to other people for something about how to deal with the problem,you think“Of course,thats just steam.”You dont want it to be smoke,because then youwould have to do something about it.Another one is known as“the bystander effect(效应)”.This says that the more people there arelooking at an emergency,the less responsible each one of them feels.For example,if you are the onlyperson in the world who can save someone in danger,it is more possible for you to act.However,ifyou are one of 100,000 people who could save the situation,you would be happier if one of the other99,999 people did it!Because you think its not that necessary for you to get involved!“If you notice trouble,make yourself stop and judge the situation instead of going on walking,says Ervin Staub.“then try to get other people to help together;you dont have to take all theresponsibility of being helpful.Once you get involved,most people will follow you and also offerhelp.56.What can we infer from the first two paragraphsA People shouldnt help the man who falls down in front of us.B.Many people kept on walking because they didnt see the man fell down.C.We refuse to help for some unknown reasons even though we know we should.D.We dont need to take action if we dont want to.57.The writer uses“the bystander effect”to show that_A.the feeling of responsibility changes with the number of people around.B.people always like to take the responsibility in different situations.C.people often share their ideas when theyre in dangerous situations.D.people are possible to behave in the same way as most other people do58.Which of the following sentences can be put in
