38、 the information given in the passage you have just read. A“I Went Skydiving at 84!”As a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2001, when my husband arranged for me to ride in a ho
39、t air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time, I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I d
40、ecided to write about my dream. In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the
41、 winners. I just couldnt believe it. One June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasnt frighten
42、edI was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got cal
43、mer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute, then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever feltmuch better than the hot air balloon. I was just enjoying it. Skydiving was r
44、eally one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you dont stop living just because you are 84 years old. If theres something you want to experience, look into it. If its something that is possible, make it happen. 65. What happened to the author
45、in 2001?A. She flew an airplaneB. She entered a competitionC. She went on a hot air balloon rideD. She moved into a retirement community66. The author mentioned George Bush Sr. in her essay to .

47、el Prize Settles an Old ScoreMario Vargas Llosa, 74, received a phone call early in the morning on October 7 when he was preparing to set out on a walk through Central Park in New York. He was informed that he had won the Nobel Prize for Literature. Initially, however, he thought it was a joke. It w
48、as because, as the Peruvian told the BBC, “a writer shouldnt think about the Nobel Prize as it is bad for ones writing”. He told AP that the honor would not affect him. “I dont think the Nobel Prize will change my writing, my style, my themes,” he said. “（But） its a good way to start a New York Day.
49、 ”Vargas Llosa is one of the most celebrated writers of the Spanish-speaking world. He has written more than 30 novels, plays and essays, including The Breen House and The War of the End of the World. Both of these are available in Chinese translation. His work “vividly examines the dangers of power
50、 and corruption in Latin America”, according to The NEW York Times. Vargas Llosa realized that he wanted to be a writer when he was a child, after reading an adventure novel by Jules Verne. At 15, he was a crime reporter. He later lived in exile in many European countries. In 1990, he ran for the pr
51、esidency in Peru, but lost badly. On October 7 Vargas Llosa told Reuters that he had never wanted to be a politician but felt it was an obligation for a writer to participate in public debate. ”He is frequently mentioned with Colombian writer Gabriel Garcia Marquez, the author of the classic work A
52、Hundred Years of Solitude. Garcia Marquez won the literature Nobel in 1982, the last South American to do so. Their relationship has involved one of greatest feuds（不和） in literary history. In a famous 1976 incident at a theater in Mexico City, Vargas Llosa punched Marguea, leaving him with a black e
53、ye. The two have reportedly not spoken in decades. After the Nobel announcement, Garcia MARQUEZ wrote “now were even” in Spanish on his microblog. 69. What did Mario Vargas Llosa think was a joke at first?A. Winning the Nobel Prize for literatureB. Thinking the Nobel Prize is bad for ones writingC.
54、What the Peruvian told the BBCD. What a writer should think about the Nobel Prize70. For Llosa, winning the Nobel Prize will _.A. change his writing, his style and his themesB. start his life in New YorkC. realize his childhood dreamD. have little effect on him71. Which of the following statements i
55、s true according to the passage? _.A. Llosa is one of the most celebrated writers of the world. B. Many of his works are available in Chinese translations. C. He ran for the presidency in Peru, but didnt win the election. D. He thought it a duty for a writer to run for the presidency. CAn idea that
56、started in Seattles public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time. In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strang
57、ers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched （发起）the If All of Seattle Read the Same Book project in 1998. Her original program used author visit
58、s, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong. In Chicago, the mayor appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the One Book, One C
59、hicago program. As a result, reading clubs and neighbourhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character. The only problem arose in New York, where local reader
60、s could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the c
61、hoice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself. Nancy points out that the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process. or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word. 72.
62、What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A. To invite authors to guide readers.B. To encourage people to read and share. C. To involve people in community service. D. To promote the friendship between cities. 73. Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?A. They had l
63、ittle interest in reading. B. They were too busy to read a book. C. They came from many different backgroundsD. They lacked support from the local government74. The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably meanA. exchanged ideas with each otherB. discussed the meaning of a wordC. gam
64、ed life experienceD. used the same language75. According to Nancy, the degree of success of the project is judged by _.A. the careful selection of a proper bookB. the growing popularity of the writersC. the number of people who benefit from readingD. the number of books that each person readsSection
65、 CDirections: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from AF for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. (F=AB)A. What are the ways to learn common sense?B. What are the other factors leading to success?C. How can we make everything simple?D. What i
66、s common sense?E. What is the most important quality?F. What are the secrets to success?76. _Is there a “success personality”some winning combination of qualities that leads almost inevitably to achievement? If so, exactly what is that secret success formula, and can anyone develop it? At the Gallop
67、 Organization we recently focused in depth on success, probing the attitudes of 1500 prominent people selected at random from “whos who” in America. Our research finds out a number of qualities that occur regularly among top achievers. Here is one of the most important, that is common sense. 77. _Co
68、mmon sense is the most prevailing quality possessed by our respondents. Seventy-nine percent award themselves a top score in this quality. And 61 percent say that common sense was very important in contributing to their success. 78. _To most, common sense means the ability to present sound, practica
69、l judgments on everyday affairs. To do this, one has to sweep aside extra ideas and get right to the core of what matters. A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way: “The key ability for success is simplifying. In conduction of meeting and dealing with industry reducing a complex problem to t
70、he simplest term is highly important. ”79. _Is common sense a quality a person is born with, or can you do something to increase it? The oil mans answer is that common sense can definitely be developed. He attributes his success to learning how to debate in school. Another way to increase your store
71、 of common sense is to observe it in others, learning from theirand your ownmistakes. 80. _Besides common sense, there are many other factors that influence success: knowing your field, self-reliance, intelligence, the ability to get things done, leadership, creativity, relationships with others, an
72、d of course, luck. But common sense stands out. If you develop these qualities, youll succeed. And you might even find yourself listed in whos who someday. Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully and answer the questions or complete the statements in no more than 15 words. Every January, Bre
73、ckenridge hosts the International Snow Sculpture Championships. Fourteen teams travel from all over the world to Switzerland to compete. Teams sculpt for sixty-five hours over five days. Each team hopes that when the time is up, its sculpture will be judged the best. As the championship begins, the
74、fourteen teams are faced with huge blocks of snow that weigh twenty tons each. The sculptors bring out their favorite tools that work best on the hard iced snow, but they are not allowed to employ tools that use electricity. Most teams are inspired by what they have seen in daily life. For example,
75、one team carved a teapot with tea pouring out. Another team sculpted a little cat on its hind feet（后脚）reaching into a fish bowl complete with water ripples（涟漪） and a crab（螃蟹） trying to attack the cat. In 2006, Team USA sculpted a golden dog looking at its image reflected in a mirror. To create the e
76、ffect that the little dog saw its reflection in the glass, the artists carved two dogs facing each other with their paws（脚爪）touching. As the final hours of the competition tick by, exhausted team members add last-minute detail. They use small brooms to brush off snow caught in tiny holes. One team m
77、ember counts down the last five minutes while others are busy cleaning up the tools. If they leave any tools behind, they will be out. When the whistle blows, everyone must step away from the sculpture. The judges then vote on creativity, technical skills, and visual impact （视觉效果）of the designs. In
78、2006, Team USA took first place for their golden dog sculpture titled “Discovery”. But the competition is not just about medals and ribbons. “Its not about the prize,” said Rob Neyland, Team USAs captain. “Its about touching the audience.”Every year, as the championship ends, each team is already dr
79、eaming of the next masterpiece it will design. 81. How long do teams have to work during the 5-day competition? _82. What kind of tools are the sculptors Not permitted to use? 83. What gives the sculptors ideas for their creative work? 84. Why did Team USA win the competition in 2006? (Note: Answer
