By the time I was sixteen , I started playing baseball . I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and 39 anything that moved on the football field . I was also 40 ; My high school coach was John , who not only believed in me , but also taught me 41 to believe in myself . He 42 me the difference between having a dream and remaining true to that dream . One particular 43 with Coach John changed my life forever .A friend recommended (suggested ) me for a summer job . This meant a chance for money in my pocketmoney for a new bike , new clothes and the 44 of savings for a house for my mother . Then I realized I would have to 45 up summer baseball to handle the work schedule , and that meant I would have to tell John I wouldnt be playing .When I told John , he was 46 as I expected him to be . “You have your whole life to work ,” He said . “Your 47 days are limited . You cant afford to waste them .” I stood before him with my head 48 , trying to think of the 49 that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his 50 in me .“How much are you going to make at this job, son?” He asked.“3.5 dollars an hour,” I replied . “Well,” he asked , “is $3.5 an hour the price of a dream?”That simple question made 51 for me the difference between 52 something right now and having a 53 .

His big, deep voice rumbles out of radios and jukeboxes across North America. His records sell by the million. Country-music fans everywhere know his big hits They love songs like“Hey Porter”,“Ring of Fire”，and“Folsom Prison Blue”.Johnny Cash sings about a hundred concerts a year. People like what they hear-and what they see, too. Rugged and big-shouldered, the singer stands six-two without his black boots on. Hes a two-hundred-pound package of muscle and talent. And that scar（疤痕）on his cheek? Its a bullet（子弹）hole, of course!In the minds of most people, Johnny Cash is“Mr. Tough（violent）Guy”. Hes an ex-drug addict（上瘾者）who was once put in prison. His grandmother was an Indian. To keep from starving, he once had to live on wild rabbits killed from forty feet away with a knife. Some people say he even killed a man.In fact, most of the Johnny Cash story is just thata story. True, years ago he had a “drug habit”for a short time. He“popped”pills. But he never used heroin or other“hard”drugs. Sometimes hed go wild and get locked up for a few hours. But he never served a prison sentence. Theres no Indian blood in his veins. Hes been a killer only in song. As for the“bullet hole”, its an old scar left by a doctor who opened a cyst（囊肿）.People who know Johnny Cash well say hes a “gentle guy”, a “generous guy” anything but a “tough guy”.How did the stories get started? Some of them, like the story about the“Indian grandmother”, he made up long ago to add excitement to his career. Others, like the“bullet hole”, simply got started. Now theres little the singer can do to change peoples minds.“They just want to believe it,”he says.56Johnny Cash is a favourite of many .Aopera loversBcountry music fansChard-rock fansDjazz music lovers57In truth, Johnny Cash .Ainvented the“Indian grandmother”Bused to kill rabbits for a livingChad a bullet hole on his cheekDserved a long prison sentence58In his private life, Johnny Cash is .Amuch wilder than he looksBmuch smaller than he is on stageCmuch tougher than he is in publicDmuch more gentle than most people suppose59The passage shows us that many people believe .Aonly what they seeBwhat they are sure is trueConly what they hearDwhat they find interesting（B）Do dogs understand us?Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think. A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee（黑猩猩）. In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldnt see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object , using a word the dog had never heard before.The correct object was chosen in seven out of 10 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination（排除法）. A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive.Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed（品种）known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.Its hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they cant talk back. Still, it wouldnt hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!60From paragraph 2 we know that .Aanimals are as clever as human beingsBdogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzeesCchimpanzees have very good word-learning skillsDdogs have similar learning abilities as 3-year-old children61Both experiments show that .ARico is smart enough to get all commands rightBRico can recognize different things including toysCRico has developed the ability of learning mathematicsDRico wont forget the names of objects once recognizing them62Which of the following statements is true?AThe purpose of the experiments is to show the border collies mental abilities.BRico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.CThe border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.DRico is born to understand its owners commands.63What does the writer want to tell us?ATo train your dog.BTo talk to your dog.CTo be friendly to your dog.DTo be careful with your dog.（C）Paynes Prairie Have you ever heard of Paynes Prairie? It is one of the most important natural and historical areas in Florida. Paynes Prairie is located near Gainesville. It is large, 21,000 acres. This protected land is called a preserve. The Florida Park Service manages the preserve.The Paynes Prairie basin was formed when limestone dissolved and the ground settled. It is covered by marsh（沼泽）and wet prairie vegetation. There are areas of open water,. During brief periods it has flooded enough to be considered a lake. Except for that, the basin has changed little through time.Man has lived on Paynes Prairie a very long time. He lived there as far back as 10,000 B. C. At one time, the Seminoles lived there. The prairie is thought to have been named after King Payne, a Seminole chief. During the late 1600s, the largest cattle ranch in Florida was on Paynes Prairie . Today , Paynes Prairie is preserved land . It is occupied by visitors and Florida Park Service employees.Willam Bartram visited Paynes Prairie. Bartram was the first person who portrayed（described）nature through personal experience as well as scientific observation. He lived 200 years ago. He visited Paynes Prairie in 1774. At that time he described it. He called Paynes Prairie the“great Alachua Savannah.”Most of the animal life, which Bartram described, is still here. A large number of sandhill cranes, hawks and waterfowl are here in winter. The animal diversity is increased by the presence of pine flat woods, hammock, swamps and ponds.The Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park is open year round. The Florida Park Service works hard so that the park will appear as it did in the past. It offers many opportunities for recreation. At the Park you can camp and picnic. You can hike and bike. You can boat and fish. You can ride on horse trails. And you can see lots of nature and wildlife. You can see Florida as it was in the early days.Paynes Prairie is a part of our Florida history. It is an example of our Florida natural resources. It is a place for recreation. Paynes Prairie is an important experience of the Real Florida.64How was the Paynes Prairie basin formed?ABy the Seminole IndiansBBy the Florida Park Service.CFrom dissolved limestone and the ground settling.DFrom lost of flooding and wet prairie vegetation.65The underlined word“diversity”means“ ”.AvarietyBsocietyCpopulationDarea66All of the following are true EXCEPT that .APaynes Prairie has changed little through timeBPaynes Prairie is covered by wet prairie grassesCthere used to be a big cattle farm on Paynes Prairies.DWilliam Bartram was the first person to visit Paynes Prairie.67The purpose of the passage is to .Acall on people to protect wildlifeBattract people to this preserved parkCshow you the formation of Paynes PrairieDintroduce the recorded history of Paynes Prairie（D）NOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase（抹去）,the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument, some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“Some memories can ruin peoples lives. They come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.“This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity（特质）. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. Im not sure we want to wipe those memories out,”said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.68The passage is mainly about .Aa new medical invention.Ba new research on the pillCa way of erasing painful memories.Dan argument about the research on the pill69The drug tested on people can .Acause the brain to fix memories.Bstop people remembering bad experiences.Cprevent body producing certain chemicals.Dwipe out the emotioal effects of memories70We can infer from the passage that .Apeople doubt the effects of the pills.Bthe pill will stop peoples bad experiencesCtaking the pill will do harm to peoples healthDthe pill has probably been produced in America.71Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?ASome memories can ruin peoples lives.BPeople want to get rid of bad memories.CExperiencing bad events makes us different from others.DThe pill will reduce peoples sufferings from bad memories.（E）Whats your dream vacation? Watching wildlife in Kenya? Boating down the Amazon? Sunbathing in Malaysia? New chances are opening up all the time to explore the world. So we visit travel agents, compare packages and prices, and pay our money.We know what our vacation costs us. But do we know what it might cost someone else? Its true that many poorer countries now depend on tourism for foreign income. Unfortunately, though, tourism often harms the local people more than it helps them.It might cost their homes and lands. In Myanmar, 5,200 people were forced to leave their homes among the pagodas（佛塔）in Bagan so that tourists could visit the pagodas.Tourism might also cost the local people their livelihood and dignity. Local workers often find only menial（卑微旳）jobs in the tourist industry. And most of the profits do not help the local economy .Instead, profits return to the tour operators in wealthier countries. When the Maasai people in Tanzania were driven from their lands, some moved to city slums. Others now make a little money selling souvenirs or posing for photos.Problems like these were observed more than 20 years ago. But now some non-government organizations, tour operators and local governments are working together to
