25、acher. For me, Helen Kellers teacher was the person I wanted to be. It was Annie Sullivans caring, determination and understanding that impressed me. A few years ago, I had a challenge. His name was David. His father was in prison, so his mother had to work nights. David was a bright student. He had
26、 the ability, but very little motivation. As the weeks went on, David slowly gave up doing his homework. It was clear that he was looking for any kind of attentioneven if it was negative.One day David and I was sitting in the library and just talked. I told him that I knew that he was not an “F” stu
27、dent. It was my job to teach him, but his job to try. We talked about home and what he did after school. From then on David and I frequently sat in the library and just talked. He knew that I would listen to him. I would not jump to conclusions without hearing his side of story. Therefore, his behav
28、ior in my room improved. Unfortunately, he was still very impulsive(易冲动的) at lunch and at break. Removing him from break did not help because he was a very active student who had trouble focusing on task.One day as we were having lunch together, he told me that his goal was to pass the fifth grade a
29、nd not to stop going to school. There were six weeks left to the school year. So, whenever an outside task was scheduled to arrive, I would ask if he had started. If not, he and I would work together to get it done. Sometimes this was during the school day or after school.Finally David had met his g
30、oals. During Teacher Appreciation Week, the students had written about any teacher they wanted. In my booklet, on a piece of paper, it read: ”You never give up on me because you know I am smart. And for that I not only thank you, but I admire you.”-signed David. 56. On what did the author base his t
31、eaching?A. His understanding of his students.B. his intelligence.C. His self-confidence.D. His determination to prove his ability. 57. According to the passage, David_.A. was born in a single-parent familyB. had no ambition to succeed in learningC. worked hard to support his familyD. escaped being p
32、aid attention to in class58. How did the author help David?A. By treating him as an “F” student in class.B. By working together after school every day.C. By showing interest in what he was saying. D. By removing him from break.59. From the passage, we can infer that teachers _.A. make every student
33、grow as an individualB. struggle to help their students feel successfulC. are whatever their students need them to beD. are those who change or influence the lives of studentsBSYDNEY: As they sat sharing sweets beside a swimming pool that year, Shane Gould and Jessicah Schipper were simply getting a
34、long well, chatting about sport, life and “ anything else that came up. ” Yet in Sydney next month, they will meet again by the pool, and for a short time the friends will race against each other in the 50-meter butterfly（蝶泳）in the Australian championships at Homebush Bay. Gould, now a 47-year-old m
35、other of four, has announced she will be making a return to elite competition（顶级赛事）to swim the one event, having set a qualifying time of 30.32 seconds in winning gold at last years United States Masters championships. Her comeback comes 32 years after she won three golds at the Munich Olympics. Sch
36、ipper, now a 17-year-old from Brisbane with a bright future of going to Athens for her first Olympics, yesterday recalled her time with Gould five years ago. “ I was at a national youth game on the Gold Coast and Shane had come along to talk to us and watch us train, ” Schipper explained. “ It seeme
37、d as if we had long been good friends. I dont know why. We just started talking and it went from there. ” “ She had a lot to share with all of us at that camp. She told us stories about what it was like at big meets like the Olympics and what its like to be on an Australian team. It was really inter
38、esting. ” Next time, things will be more serious. “ I will still be swimming in the 50m butterfly at the nationals, so there is a chance that I could actually be competing against Shane Gould, ” said Schipper, who burst onto the scene at last years national championships with second places in the 10
39、0m and 200m butterfly. 60. What is the passage mainly about? A. Stories happening in swimming competitions. B. Two women swimmers winning Olympic golds. C.

41、mpicsB. the youth campC. the friendshipD. the Australian team CSometimes when we are lost in the day-to-day activities of life and work, we forget there is a part of us that wants to serve and make a difference in the world. It is also a good time to look for ways to express yourself through service
42、 to others.Most people want to live a life full of meaning. If you recognize you have a true desire to serve, voluntary work in the community and a spirit of giving can lead you to an understanding of what you care about, what your natural talents are, and what your life purpose is. It can start you
43、 on the path to a new life.To live(身体力行) your purpose as fully as possible, use your natural gifts when you serve others. If you are a naturally-born teacher, you could teach students who are struggling with basic reading skills. If you are good at encouraging people, you could visit people who are
44、sick or in nursing home.Many of us forget how luck we are and how much support we have. When we reach out to others, we sometimes realize how our lives have been blessed. When you are aware of all the blessing（祝福） that you have received, you can understand your true ability to make a difference.Serv
45、ice is a spirit for living as well as a set of actions. You live your life purpose every day. Its not just when you are volunteering at church or the local food bank. Its every time you interact with anyone. Through your actions, your words and your smiles, you have the capability to either uplift s
46、omeone or put them down. Meaningful, purposeful lives are built every moment, not just in isolated times spent volunteering. Whether its at work, in traffic, in the line at the grocery store, or at a concert, you have an opportunity to serve or change the world. Your efforts dont have to be extraord
47、inary, but your life certainly will be.64. Through service you can do all of the following EXCEPT_.A. make a difference in the worldB. express yourselfC. find your life purposeD. forget how lucky you are65. In the authors opinion, to make your life fully meaningful, your service to others should_.A.
48、 be based on what you are good atB. prove to be highly praisedC. be rewarded with supportD. become your lifework66. The last paragraph suggests that_.A. you should live your meaningful life at almost anytime anywhereB. you should build your meaningful life while doing voluntary workC. the more uncom
49、mon your efforts are, the more meaningful your life isD. the best way to live your purpose is to take part in social activities67. We can infer from the passage that the author _.A. starts his new life in the day-to-day activitiesB. is not good at interacting with othersC. kills time by volunteering
50、D. values voluntary work very muchDWhen six of the very best students from different cities in Guangdong Province all together chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best students of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Peking or Tsinghua University; when the highest en
51、rollment (录取) rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48:1, its the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.Years ago, the answer certainly would be “Peking or Tsinghua University”. But now no one could give the exact reaction without hesitation. T
52、he only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual attraction to a great many mainland students. Its no doubt to call this HK craze(狂热), which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities themselves. How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Peking a
53、nd Tsinghua and attract so many mainland students?First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarships, especially for the top students who can receive the sum scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden of many families, its easy to u
54、nderstand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is great.Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual(双语的) education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students.Furtherm
55、ore, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange students.Can mainland top universities like Peking or Tsinghua University calm as before when facing the unexpected competition from HK？Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help t
56、hem set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of education in China. After the awakening and action taking of mainland universities, they can perform better together with HK universities.At least
57、, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees are among students top concern when they are choosing universities. Its time to move.68What is the passage mainly talking about?ASome thought brought by the enrollment of Hong Kong universitiesBHigher education in Hong Kong CThe competition be
58、tween Hong Kong University and Peking University DThe fall of mainland universities.69Top students from mainland apply for HK universities because_. Amany students now would love to study abroad to get a better experience. BHK universities offer higher scholarships, better environment and more oppor
59、tunities for their further study Cthey concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities. DPeking University has lost its worldwide reputation 70From the passage we can see HK universities_. Adidnt mean to enroll top students from mainland Bare proud of their teaching staff and faciliti
60、es Cdidnt expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popular Dhave strict enrollment rules and only 1 out of 48 students can get the chance to study there 71What does the author mean by saying “Its time to move.” in the last paragraph? AMainland universities should take measures as soo
61、n as possible to attract students. BThe opportunities come for top students to study abroad CHK universities should make full preparations to challenge mainland universities. DTop students should be offered further education free of chargeEForget Twitter and Facebook, Google and the Kindle. Televisi
62、on is still the most influential medium around. Indeed ,for many of the poorest regions（地区）of the world, it remains the next big thingfinally becomes globally available. And that is a good thing, because the TV revolution is changing lives for the better. Across the developing world, around 45% of f
63、amilies had a TV in 1995; by 2005 the number had climbed above 60%. That is some way behind the U. S. ,where are more TVs than people, and where people now easily get access to the Internet. Five million more families in sub-Saharan Africa will get a TV over the next five years. In 2005 , after the
64、fall of the Taliban(塔利班), which had outlawed TV, 1 in 5 Afghans had one. The global total is another 150 million by 2013-pushing the numbers to well beyond two thirds of families. Televisions most powerful effect will be on the lives of women. In India, researchers Robert Jensen and Emily Oster foun
65、d that when TVs reached villages, women were more likely to go to the market without their husbands approval and less likely to want a boy rather than a girl. They were more likely to make decisions over child health care. TV is also a powerful medium for adult education. In the Indian state of Guja
66、rat, Chitrageet is a popular show that plays Bollywood songs with words in Gujarati on the screen.
