单项选择题 Passage D
On December 1,1955,Rosa Parks was planning to take the bus home from work as usual.She had just finished working as a seamstress(女裁缝)at a department store and then walked to the bus stop.As she first boarded the bus,she noticed that the driver was the same man who had sent her off his bus years earlier because she would not go around to the back door after she was already on the bus.She decided to get on anyway and sit down,but she did not sit at the very front of the bus.She took a seat next to a black man in the first row that“colored”people were allowed to sit in.At the next stop,some white people got on the bus.After they filled up the white seats,one man was left standing.When the driver noticed him standing,he told Rosa and the others in her row to let the man have a seat.Three people stood up,but the driver saw that Rosa was still sitting there.He asked if she would stand up,and she refused.Then he told her he would have her arrested,and Rosa told him he could do that.
A few minutes later,two policemen got on the bus.When the driver told them that Rosa would not stand up,the policemen walked over to her and asked her why she wouldn’t get up.Rosa said she didn’t think she should stand up and asked,“Why do you push us around?”One policeman answered,“I don’t know,but the law is the law,and you are under arrest.”As soon as he said that,Rosa stood up.Then one of the policemen picked up her purse while the other picked up her shopping bag,and the three left the bus.Finally,they took Rosa to the police station in the car.
Rosa’s action that day started a citywide boycott(联合抵制)of the bus system by Blacks that lasted more than a year.This later resulted in the decision against segregation on city buses in the US.
The driver told Rosa that he would have her arrested because （）.

A.she refused to give her seat to a white man
B.she was sitting in the row for white people
C.she was not allowed to have a seat on the bus
D.she was black

One evening after dinner,Mr.and Mrs.William called a family meeting.“We’ve had to make a difficult decision.”Mr.William announced.“You see,your mother has been offered a post as co-director of a television in Chicago.Unluckily,the station is not here.After thinking long and hard about it,we’ve concluded that the right decision is to move to Chicago.”
Peter looked shocked,while his sister Amy breathlessly started asking when they’d be moving:“It’s surprising,but exciting!”she said.Peter simply said,“We can’t go—I can’t leave all my friends.I’d rather stay here and live with Tommy!”
Mr.and Mrs.William hoped that by the time they moved in August,Peter would grow more accustomed to the idea of leaving.However,he showed no signs of accepting the news,refusing to pack his belongings.
When the morning of the move arrived,Peter was nowhere to be found.His parents called Tommy’s house,but Tommy’s mother said she hadn’t seen Peter.Mrs.William became increasingly worried,while her husband felt angry with their son for behaving so irresponsibly.
What they didn’t know was that Peter had started walking over to Tommy’s house,with a faint idea of hiding in Tommy’s attic（阁楼）for a few days.But something happened on the way as Peter walked past all the familiar landscape of the neighborhood:the fence that he and his mother painted,the tree that he and his sister used to climb,the park where he and his father often took evening walks together.How much would these mean without his family,who make them special in the first place?Peter didn’t take the time to answer that question but instead hurried back to his house,wondering if there were any moving cartons（纸板箱）the right size to hold his record collection.
What would more probably happen next?（）

A.Peter would bring his records over to the Tommy’s house.
B.Mr.and Mrs.William would call the police.
C.Mr.and Mrs.William would start searching for Peter.
D.Peter would join his family for house moving.

Except for the sun,the moon looks the biggest object in the sky.Actually it is one of the smallest and only looks big because it is so near to us.Its diameter is only 2160 miles(3389 km),or a little more than a quarter of the diameter of the earth.
Once a month,or,more exactly,once every 29.5 days,at the time we call“full moon”,its whole disc looks bright.At other times only part of it appears bright,and we always find that this is the part which faces towards the sun,while the part facing away from the sun appears dark.People could make their pictures better if they kept this in mind—only those parts of the moon which are lighted up by the sun are brighter.This shows that the moon gives no light of its own.It only throws back the light of the sun,like a huge mirror hung in the sky.
Yet the dark part of the moon’s surface is not completely black;usually it is just light enough for us to be able to see its shape,so that we speak of seeing“the old moon in the new moon’s arms”.The light by which we see the old moon does not come from the sun,but from the earth.We know well how the surface of the sea or of snow,or even of a wet road,may throw back uncomfortably much of the sun’s light on to our faces.In the same way the surface of the whole earth throws back enough of the sun’s light on to the face of the moon for us to be back to see the parts of it which would otherwise be dark.
Which of these is true?（）

A.The light by which we see the old moon comes from the sun.
B.The moon’s diameter is exactly one fourth of that of the earth.
C.The moon which appears round at its brightest is called full moon.
D.The part of the moon which is not lighted by the sun is completely dark.
