This was made possible by my sister, Amy. She is eight years older and has already
18、 made it into“real world”.My sister bought me three wonderful gifts, 36 only one would capture my heart forever. First she handed me the 37 . Because Amy is careful with her actions, I knew this was her 38 favourite. It was a bottle of perfume（香水）. I was happy with it, yet 39 as to what lay ahead. N

Judging by the familiar size and 43 , I knew it was a CD. It was the soundtrack to the movie“Rocky”, with songs inspiring
20、to all athletes, dreamersI 44 loved it, but not as much as I would after what my sister explained to me.She was 45 to a knee injury that 46 me half of my soccer season. I desired to be with my team-mates and 47 each minute I sat on the bench. I tried hard, hoping my knee injury would heel soon. This
21、 was what led my sister to buying that CD.After mentioning what was behind the 48 , Amy played the CD for me. Even though I had heard those songs a thousand times, each note struck me as if it was 49 . It played in my soul and on my emotions. I 50 breathlessly, as the words“Trying hard now. Its so h

Mrs. Hanson, a rather unusual student, plans to go on to take more courses after she gets her degree. What ma
26、kes Mrs. Hanson different from most of her classmates?What sets Lillian Hanson apart from the college crowd is her age73 years. She has been going to college, a few courses at a time, for 27 years.When Mrs. Hanson graduated from high school, she went to her local bank and asked for a loan for colleg
27、e tuition and fees. The banker gave her no encouragement. He didnt think that country girl should be borrowing money to go to college. He thought she should be home doing work in the house or around the farm. So Mrs. Hanson went home and raised a family of nine children instead of going to college.
28、She still lives with her husband on the farm that has been in the family for five generations.Mrs. Hanson never forgot her dream of getting a higher education. When her children were grown, she tried again.She finds the hardest part of going back to school at her age is to be sitting in class for lo
29、ng periods of time, because she is not as agile as she used to be. Mrs. Hanson often gets up and walks around between classes to keep her joints from getting stiff. At the beginning of a course in using the computer, the other students all gave Mrs. Hanson a warm round of applause when she introduce
30、d herself and explained why she was there and what her goals were.56Mrs. Hanson has gone through college .

32、. Aa woman too old for schoolBa persistent and unusual studentCthe hardship to get college degreeDhow to realize ones dreamBA 10-year-old boy fatally shot his father Friday, striking him several times as he sat in the front seat of a SUV to pick up the boy from his mothers home for a weekend visit.T
33、he incident happened about 3:45 p.m. on a cul-de-sac in the 1700 block of Cedar Cove Court, said Sgt. B. E. Williams of the Harris County Sheriffs Department.An investigation found that Rick James Lohstroh, 41, was shot by his son, who was sitting in the back seat of the mans Toyota 4-Runner, said S
34、gt. B. E. Williams of the Harris County Sheriffs Department. The shooting took place outside the home of Lohstrohs ex-wife, where the boy lives with his mother and a 7-year-old brother.“Were not certain of anything until we finish our investigation,” Williams said.“The information we have at this ti
35、me is that the 10-year-old did fire the weapon.”The mother and the 7-year-old were inside the house when the shooting occurred, said Williams.Williams said the gun belonged to the boys mother. After firing shots through the back seat, the boy exited the back of the vehicle and continued to fire at t
36、he car.The man died on the way to Memorial Herman Hospital.Lohstroh was a doctor at the University of Texas Medical Branch.The man and woman shared custody（监护）of the children.Williams said the mother and the boy were still in the home talking to investigators Friday night.Neighbors described the fam

39、 the report?AThe tragedy happened because the boy had seen too many films showing violence.BThe boy hated it that his father deserted his mother, so he killed him.CSuch things often occurred in this neighbourhood.DThe boys parents got divorced.63The reason why the boy shot his father .

40、t be made outCis not knownDis quite simpleCBears and humans often meet in National Parks. Although campers and hikers are warned not to feed the bears, many people ignore these warnings and feed the beasts anyway. When bears are used to peoples food, problems soon arise.Bears like to eat a large var
41、iety of things, both meat and vegetable. Without human assistance, bears live nicely on roots, twigs, leaves of trees, insects and small animals. With people around, the bears tastes quickly expand to include sandwiches, hot dogs, hamburgers, and anything else they can temp humans into giving up.Bea
42、rs often develop clever strategies for getting people to let go their food supplies. More often than not, an unsuspecting hiker has taken off his or her pack for a rest only to have a bear charge out of the woods, grab the pack and quickly disappear into the underbrush with it. Hanging the pack on a
43、 tree branch wont help. Bears have been known to climb up, jump off, and catch the pack on the way down. One mother bear stretched up with her baby on her shoulders to reach a pack stored on a pole. Many bears threaten people into giving up their supplies. Although a bear is unlikely to attack a per
44、son and would probably run away if screamed at, few people are willing to do so. Most people drop the pack and run the other way. This, of course, delights the bear. In some places, the Park Service installed some metal barrels with lids to help campers keep their supplies safe from bears. Although
45、the bears were unable to open these containers, the effort was less than successful. Most campers, unable to tell the metal drums from rubbish cans, never used them for the intended purpose.64Feeding bears on peoples food .Abrings the people a lot of funBcan cause problemsCoften causes injuries and
46、deaths Dhelps bears survive65If people had never fed bears, the bears .Amight be satisfied with what they had originallyBwould have starved long before Cwouldnt have enough food supplyDwould have hunted for other kind of food66Which of the following is TRUE?AIf fed on sandwiches and hot dogs, the be
47、ars would no longer eat roots, twigs and insects .BIts likely that bears would hurt people if the people didnt give up their food. CMost people would frighten away the bears that would temp their food.DSeeing a pack, the bear would quickly snatch it and run away with it. 67Bear-proof containers didn
48、t work because .Abears were clever enough to get the food in themBthey were left open in the open airCpeople were not sure of their useDthey were once used as rubbish cans DSpace is a dangerous place, not only because of meteors but also because of rays from the sun and other stars. The atmosphere a
49、gain acts as our protective blanket on earth. Light gets through, and this is necessary for plants to make the food that we eat. Heat, too, makes our environment endurable. Various kinds of rays come through the air from outer space, but enormous quantities of radiation from the sun are screened off
50、. As soon as men leave the atmosphere they are exposed(暴露)to this radiation but their spacesuits or the walls of their spacecraft, if they are inside, do prevent a lot of radiation damage.Radiation is the greatest known danger to explorers in space, The unit of radiation is called “rem” Scientists h
51、ave reason to think that a man can put up with far more radiation than 0.1rem without being damaged; the figure of 60 rems has been agreed on. The trouble is that it is extremely difficult to be sure about radiation damage. A person may feel perfectly well, but the cells of his or her sex organs may
52、 be damaged, and this will not be discovered until the birth of deformed children or even grandchildren. Missions of the Apollo flights have had to cross belts of high radiation and , during the outward and return journeys, the Apollo crew accumulated(积累) a large amount of rems. So far, no dangerous
53、 amounts of radiation have been reported, but the Apollo missions have been quite short. We simply do not know yet how men are going to get on when they spend weeks and months outside the protection of the atmosphere, working in a space laboratory. Drugs might help to decrease the damage done by rad
54、iation, but no really effective ones have been found so far.68In which way is the atmosphere necessary to man according to the first paragraph?AIt screens off the falling meteors.BIt provides sufficient light for plants to grow.CIt supplies the heat necessary for human survival.DIt protects him agai

56、word “deformed” probably means .Abadly-shaped Bweak Cnaturally-grown Dugly 71It can be inferred from the passage that .Athe Apollo mission was very successfulBastronauts will have deformed children or grandchildrenCprotection from space radiation is no easy jobDradiation is not a threat to well-prot

58、 of a house, and each of us is continually making these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living. If we intend to give a dinner for friends, we plan the menu, make a shopping list, and decide which food to cook first, and such planning is essential for any type of meat to be served.Likew
59、ise, if you want to find a job, take a sheet of paper, and write a brief account of yourself. In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your service.This account of yourself is actually a descripti
60、on of your working life and should include education, experience and references. Such an account is valuable. It can be referred to filling out standard application blanks and it is extremely helpful in personal interviews. While talking to you, your could-be employer is deciding whether your educat
61、ion, your experience, and other qualifications will pay him to employ you, and your abilities must be displayed on an orderly and reasonably connected manner. When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something exact to sell. Then you are ready to hunt for
62、a job. Get all the possible information about your could-be job. Make your eyes and ears open, and use your own judgment. Spend a certain amount of time each day seeking in the employment you wish for, and keep in mind: Obtaining a job is your job now! 72When the elders say “It” s not what you want

But turning the picture upside down, you will surprisingly see a pretty young girl. What can we learn from it?What I think of is the attitude that one may have when facing failure. It will be better if we think of something good. If we always think negatively, we wont be able to see the “pretty girl”, that is, the bright side of our life. Therefore, when we are let down, it is wise to have a positive attitude
