I thought there was nothing he wasnt 32 to do.A few days before my younger brothers 7th birthday, Dad planned to assemble(装配) a new 33 as a special birthday surprise. After nearly an hour of 34 the instructions, Dad was still unable to 35 the new bike together. Later he 36 the paper of instructions, 37 up his tool box, and decided to take the bike back to the local toy store and pay extra 38 to have it correctly assembled there. 39 an idea came to him, as he called out to Lovett, the quiet little man who cut our grassland.“Lovett, have you ever assembled a boys bicycle?”As Lovett walked towards the bike, Dad handed him the 40 . Lovett handed it back to him, saying, “No, thanks. I cant read. When you cant read, you have to 41 .” Less than 15 minutes later, the new bicycle was 42 assembled, with no 43 parts remaining. Dad shook Lovetts hand, patted him on the back, thanked him, and hid the bike.On the night after my brother received his shiny new gift, Dad announced at the family dinner table what had happened several days earlier. He took great 44 in telling it over and over again-he used it as an example of thinking.He did not refer to illiteracy(文盲) , but strongly taught us to use our 45 . The joke was on my father, 46 he was able to turn it into a learning tool, and I liked him even more after that incident. I also gained a new 47 for Lovett.

Nearly everything, including the bedding, is made of ice! This hotel is so well insulated(隔热) that whatever the temperature outside is, the temperature inside never changes more than a few degrees. Its around 23 degrees to be exact. Since it is made of ice the hotel does have some dress requirements that can be found on their website. Arctic sleeping bags are provided for every guest, including children. For more information, visit the website: .The Tigers Nest Monastery BhutanBuilt directly onto a cliff side, this ancient temple has claimed its spot since 1692. Rich in history, Tigers Nest is constructed around eight attractive caves on the mountainside. Most of the caves are easy to reach through the natural rock stairways. However, some are more difficult, and can only be reached by shaky rope bridges. Visit the website for more information.Dinosaur Provincial Park CanadaKnown to be one the greatest fossil locations in the world, Dinosaur Provincial Park has nearly 500 specimens (标本) in all shapes and sizes. The park itself has a vast collection of fossils and a unique natural ecosystem.

Solving it quickly is a terrific conversation starter. I usually ask people to try it first. They just turn the cube over in their hands, not even knowing where to begin. Thats exactly what it was like for me to learn how to read. Letters and words were out of order. Nothing made sense because I am dyslexic.The Rubiks Cube has made me believe that sometimes you have to take a few steps back in order to move forward. This was a reflection of my own life when I had to leave public school after the fourth grade. Its embarrassing to admit, but I still couldnt always spell my full name correctly. As a fifth-grader at a new school specializing in whats called “language-processing disorder”, I had to start over. I then spent the next four years learning how to learn and find strategies that allowed me to return to my districts high school with the ability to communicate my ideas and express my intelligence.Now, I can easily solve the 555. I discover that just before it is solved, a problem can look like a mess, and then suddenly you can find the solution. Early in my Rubiks career, I became so frustrated that I took the cube apart and rebuilt it. I believe that sometimes you have to look deeper and find answers in unexpected places. The Rubiks cube taught me that to accomplish something big, it helps to break it down into small pieces. I learned that its important to spend a lot of time thinking, to try to find connections and patterns. I believe that there are surprises around the corner.Like life itself, the Rubiks cube can be frustrating puzzle. So everyday I carry a Rubiks cube in my backpack as a reminder that I can achieve my goals, no matter what obstacles I face.56The author took the Rubiks Cube apart because _.A. he couldnt work out how to solve itB. he hated it and wanted to destroyed itC. he wanted to learn how to rebuild itD. he was eager to find the connections57The underlined word “dyslexic” in Paragraph 1 probably means a person who has trouble with _.A. rememberingB. readingC. speakingD. listening58Why did the author leave the public school?A. He had to take steps back in order to relearn the basic things at another school.B. He was so crazy about the Rubiks Cube that he wanted to solve it first.C. His interest shifted to learning how to communicate with other people.D. He was afraid to go to the public school because he could not spell his name.59The author carries a Rubiks Cube in his backpack to _.A. start conversations with strangersB. compete with othersC. take it apart and rebuild itD. encourage him to succeed60Which would be the best title for the text?A. Unforgettable Lessons About LifeB. Approaches to Solving the Rubiks CubeC. Accomplishing Big Things in Small StagesD. Surprises Around the CornerCFrom now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created：the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success if only you make the right choice.You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem. Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are the perennial(长期的) victims and martyrs（殉道者）. They are leaves tossed(摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.In short, in all areas of your life, whether they be financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible. Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.61. People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they_.A. are ready to change their mindsB. cant exercise control over themselvesC. dont have the power to face their fateD. are easily affected by windy weather62. Losers would think that_.A. success is the result of hard workB. their failure is only because of bad luckC.working hard will lead to successD. they dont make efforts to succeed63. It can be inferred from paragraph 5 that_.A. setting our expectations is essential before taking actionB. developing confidence is the key to future successC. thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mindD. whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes64. The last paragraph serves as_.A. the proof of the authors pointsB. an introduction to another topicC. the conclusion of the argumentD. a comparison between two views65. Which is the best title for the text?A.Develop our confidence.B. The secrets of success.C. Success is a choice. D. How to achieve success.DYoung sunflowers turn and swing every day. New findings add to evidence that the plants are animal-like. Harmer, a professor in the University of California at Davis Department of Plant Biology, carried out a series of experiments on sunflowers in the field, in pots outdoors and in indoor growth chambers.By staking plants so that they could not move, Harmer showed that he could destroy their ability to track the sun. He also noticed that sunflowers prevented from moving were not as tough and leafy as those that were free to move. When plants were moved indoor with a settled overhead light, they continued to swing back and forth for a few days.The indoor plants did start tracking the “sun” again when the apparent source of lighting was moved across the room. The plants could reliably track the movement and return at night when the artificial day was close to a 24-hour cycle, but not when it was closer to 30 hours.When sunflowers track the sun, the east sides of their stems grew more rapidly than the west sides. At night, the west sides grew faster as the stem swung the other way. The team identified a number of genes that were expressed at higher levels on the sunward side of the plant during the day, or on the other side at night. A plant growth-regulating hormone, called auxin, appears to be a key driver.The “dance” to the sun cycle obviously slows when the sunflower matures and its flowers open up. At that point, the plants stop moving during the day and settle down facing the sun in the east.“Bees like warm flowers.” Harmer said, adding that the bees are cold-blooded, so landing on a warm flower saves them energy and perhaps feels really good.“The morning warmth changes the flowers in a way to make them more appealing to insects, perhaps causing them to release more attractive scents earlier in the day.” he said. “Were currently testing this idea.”66. Why did Harmer do the experiment on sunflowers?A. To see how sunflowers grow up.B. To show what sunflowers genes are.C. To study why sunflowers track the sun.D. To check if sunflowers swing in cloudy days.67. What does the underlined word “staking”(Par 3) probably mean in ?A. Tracking. B. Fastening. C. Preserving. D. Presenting.68. What is the result of sunflowers being stopped from moving?A. They wont grow well.B. They will grow faster than usual.C. They wont swing back though set free.D. They will produce a number of new genes.69. What would happen to the sunflowers if they became fully grown?A. They would swing as usual.B. They would move back and forth.C. They would stop turning.D. They would track the sun.70. Bees are fond of dancing _.A. on cold sunflowers B. in the circle of flowersC. on warm sunflowers D. on the mature sunflowers第II卷（共35分）第三部分：写作第一节：阅读表达（共5个小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。What will people die of 100 years from now?
