New York, 10 November— 5:27 pm, yesterday. Biggest power failure in the city’s history. Thousands of people got stuck in lifts. Martin Saltzman spent three hours between the 21 and 22 floors of the Empire State Building.“There were twelve of us. But no one panicked. We passed the time telling stories and playing word games. One man wanted to smoke but we didn’t let him. Firemen finally got us out.”

“It was the best night we’ve ever had,” said Angela Carraro, who runs an Italian restaurant on 42 Street.“We had lots of candles on the tables and the waiters were carrying candles on their trays. The place was full— and all night, in fact, for after we had closed, we let the people stay on and spend the night here.”

The zoos had their problems like everyone else. Keepers worked through the night. They used blankets to keep flying squirrels and small monkeys warm. While zoos had problems keeping warm, supermarkets had problems keeping cool.“All of our ice cream and frozen foods melted,” said the manager of a store in downtown Manhattan.“They were worth $ 50, 000.”

The big electric clock in the lobby（大厅）of the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in downtown Manhattan started ticking（滴答）again at 5:25 this morning. It was almost on time.

1. Throughout the period of darkness, Martin Saltzman and the eleven others were _______. A. nervousB. excitedC. calmD. frightened 2. How long did the power failure last? A. Nearly 12 hours.B. More than 12 hours. C. Nearly 24 hours.D. More than 24 hours.

In Mount Berry, Georgia, people find a group of schools built specially for mountain children. The schools, as well as the mountain itself, are named after Martha Berry, herself a daughter

of a Georgian mountaineer.

Martha Berry was born in 1866. Luckier than most Georgian mountain children, she received an education. But she never forgot other children of the mountains whose parents couldn’t afford to send them to school. In 1902 Martha Berry started a school for these children. It was housed in a single small log cabin and was attended by only five pupils. Now eighty years later, there are a score of Berry Schools in the area, with a total of over one thousand students and a waiting

list of about five thousand.

参考答案

（1）

1. C 解析：细节题。因为他们又讲故事，又做游戏，显得很镇静。2. A 解析：细节题。将近12小时，这是算出来的。（2）

1. D 解析：细节题。根据常识我们知道Georgia是美国的一个州名，所以答案是D。请注意文中Mount Berry和Georgia之间有逗号，所以它不是山名。选项A可以排除。选项B和C在文中没有依据，也可以

排除。此题可用排除法。

2. A 解析：细节题。文章第二段介绍Martha Berry1902年开始办学，文章结尾说，她一直为山区儿童

工作到1942年逝世为止。所以选A（40 year）是正确的。

3. C 解析：此题需要理解细节。选A、B都与事实不符，可以排除。文章中只说学校设在一个小木屋里，并没有明确说那是她自己的房屋。因此选项D也可以排除。文中说：“In 1902 Martha Berry started a school for these children.”这与选项C的意思，即第一所Berry School是由Martha Berry努力创办

的相吻合。因此，答案是C。

4. A 解析：细节题。文章第二段中说：“In 1902 Martha Berry started a school… Now,… there are a score of Berry Schools in the area…”学校增加了20倍，因此，应选A。选项B是学生增长的in 1942.
