She

25、 says she looks forward to the times I show my inquisitive(刨根问底的) personality by asking her all about our familys past when they lived over in Europe, years and years ago. I must do all my responsibilities around the house, which also includes getting my homework done each evening in order for my fu

26、n times with my grandmother to always ensue.One particular evening, I remembered doing everything my morn had told me that day to do. This was mainly because grandmother had previously promised this would be the day she would tell me all about the obsequious(谄媚的) and sectarian(宗派的) groups of people

27、who lived back then. As soon as I finished all my responsibilities, I rushed over to her house which was next door to my house. However, as I was running over there as fast as I could, my shoes lost traction which made me fall because the yard was icy from the chilly weather we had the night before.

28、 When I got inside of grandmothers house, she quickly noticed the hurt look on my face and began to ask me as to why my body was all bruised. Even though I didnt want to tell her exactly what I had carelessly done on my way over to see her, I did anyway.I didnt want to tell her originally because I

29、knew that she would then try to make me go home without telling me a story, which in my childlike mind was a terrible thing to happen. Go home without hearing a story no way! I had worked so hard all day long in order to have this reward and nothing, not even my banged up knees and bruised elbows, w

30、ould keep me from this special time with my grandmother.I told her that I did not have an intractable disease or anything, and those little bruises were things that could be taken care of after our story-time was over. Seeing that I would not give up until I heard a story, my grandmother chuckled as

31、 she said, “I had a feeling your intrinsic nature would not give up easily until you got your way.“ So finally, I got to hear the wonderful story of the experiences that my family dealt with, back in the days when my grandparents lived over in Europe. I can truly say that the story was well worth it

37、was a country village, but it was the home of the All England Croquet Club. The Club had been there since 1864. A lot of people played croquet in England at that time and enjoyed it, but the national championships did not attract many people. So the Club had very little money.“This new game of lawn

38、tennis seems to have plenty of action (精彩场面), and people like watching it,“ they thought. “Shall we allow people to play lawn tennis on some of our beautiful croquet lawns?“In 1877, Wimbledon held the first world lawn tennis championships (mens singles). Wimbledon grew. There was some surprise and d

39、oubt, of course, when the Club allowed women to play in the first womens singles championship in 1884. But the ladies played well - even in long skirts that hid their legs and feet. Until 1907 the winners, both men and women, were always British, but since 1936 the victory has usually gone to an Ame

40、rican or an Australian. British people were very happy when an English girl, Ann Jones, won the championship in 1969.（分数：4.00）(1).Wimbledon is known all over the world as_.A a country villageB the home of an unusual croquet clubC the center of lawn tennisD a famous place of interest near London（分数：1

44、 Erie, on the borders of the U. S. A. and Canada, now does not have many living things.Pollution in water is not simply a matter of “poisons“ killing large numbers of fish overnight.Very often the effects of pollution are not noticed until many months or years later because the first organisms (生物)

45、to be affected are either plants or planktons (浮游生物). These organisms are the food of fish, birds, and other creatures. When this food disappears, the fish and birds would die too. In this way a whole food chain can be wiped out, and it is not until dead fish and water birds are found at the rivers

46、edge or on the sea shore that people realize what is happening.Where do the substances that pollute the water come from? There are two main sources, sewage (生活污水) and industrial waste. As more detergent (洗涤剂) is used in the homes, more of it is finally put into our rivers, lakes and seas. Detergent

47、harms water birds by breaking down the natural substances which keep their feathers waterproof. Sewage itself, if not properly treated, makes the water dirty and prevents all forms of life in rivers and the sea from receiving the oxygen they need. Industrial waste is even more harmful since there are more highly poisonous materials in it, such as copper and lead.So, if we want to stop this pollution, the answer is simple. Sewage and industrial waste must be made c
