It is said that we can experience it in three ways：on foot, on mules or by air. We chose the first. Up early, my husband and I and our three children couldnt wait to get started. We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail. As we started out, I was surprised at how narrow the path was. And I couldnt help noticing that the other tourists werent like us. They had heavy backpacks, water bottles, and hats. But as usual we were dressed. As the sun rose higher, Arizonas famous heat seemed to roast us. There was no shade and our legs were aching. We decided to go back, with the girl on my back and the boys far behind. By the time we finally got back, our legs were like jelly.The next day, after wed had a long rest and a good breakfast, we were ready for another view of the Canyonby air. After our last walk, this would be the easiest thing in the world.We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon. But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed（翻转）the plane around, pretending he was going to hit the ground. I shouted, “STOP, TAKE US BACK!” When we finally arrived back on land, once again our legs were like jelly. We hardly spoke as we drove back.As I said, there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon. We never tried the mules, but personally Id suggest a fourth: buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic. That way, you can see the Canyon, without fear or tiredness.56. Which of the following is TRUE according to the second paragraph?A. Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected.B. The children were more joyful than their parents.C.

Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air?A. It made each of them tired. B. It was more comfortable.C. It turned out to be exciting. D. It proved to be frightening.59.

Ted turner is probably best known for his Cable News Network (CNN) and became the worlds best yachtsman（快艇手）when he won the Americas Cup in 1977. In 1982 Ted Turner was included in the first edition of the Forbes 400 list, naming him one of the 400 richest people in the United States. How did Ted Turner accomplish all of this at such a young age?As a child, Ted Turner lived a very lonely life, often separated from his family. During World War II, Ed Turner, his father served in the Navy. Ed Turner left his 6-year-old son behind in a boarding school in Cincinnati, Ohio. When Ted Turner was in the fifth grade, his father sent him in an Army school. Even though Turner had friends at school, it didnt make up for the absence of his parents and sister. He attended college off and on, because of taking part in sailboat racing, and became a member of the U.S. Coast Guard for a while. In his early twenties, Ted Turned became general manager of one of his fathers branch offices-the Turner Advertising company in Macon, Georgia.Two years later, when his father suddenly died, Ted Turner took over the company. He soon discovered that the he was more skilled than his father in managing the business.After thinking about his fathers death, however, Ted Turner realized that it was dangerous to put too much emphasis on material possessions. Rather than devote his energy only to building an empire, Ted Turner decided to change his life. He decided to use his hard-earned influence to serve the public. Worried about the environment, Ted Turner built the Better World Society in 1985. The purpose of this organization was to educate people about pollution, hunger, and the danger of destruction.60.

CThe benefits of peanuts are amazing, for they are high in healthy fats, which are extremely important to a healthy diet. Peanuts are known as plant nuts because peanuts grow on plants. They are unlike tree nuts, which grow on trees. Studies have shown that peanuts have the potential to protect against cancer. High in omega 3 acids, peanuts are heart-healthy and should be included in your daily diet. However, most experts recommend limiting daily amount. A small amount, about the size of a one-yuan coin in the palm of your hand is plenty.With that in mind, a peanut butter sandwich on whole grain bread is better than a hamburger for lunch, as peanut butter is loaded with protein. As a plant nut, peanuts contain nutrients（营养物）that our bodies need.But rather than adding jelly to your peanut butter sandwich, try honey which is also very healthy. Another suggestion is that peanut butter should be mixed with honey between crackers, a kind of thin dry biscuits.Celery (芹菜) is very healthy and, believe it or not, goes very well with peanut butter. Peanut butter also goes well with bananas. Peanut butter and banana sandwiches were Elvis Preselys favorite food. If the King of Rock n Roll liked it, maybe its worth checking out.There are a number of ways to cook peanuts too. There is nothing like the smell of fresh roasted peanuts, especially on a cold winter day. Simply spread the dried peanut (in their shells) across a baking sheet and bake for twenty to thirty minutes. Peanuts can also be boiled and taste a lot like beans.64. One advantage of peanuts is that _.A. they can be boiled with beansB. they are good for your heartC. they are useful in curing cancerD. they contain too many harmful fats65. What will the author probably talk about in the next paragraph?A. How to boil peanuts.B. Fresh roasted peanuts.C. The exact taste of boiled peanuts.D. Differences between peanuts and beans.66. Where does this text probably come from?A. A science magazine.B. A fashion magazine.C. A sports magazine.D. A health magazine.DLast year my fathers friend gave us a lovely dog named “Coffee”. My brothers and I all loved her and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games.Coffee, in return, loved every one of us. One thing that most touched my heart was that she would go to whoever was sick and just be with them. We always felt better when she was around.The other day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up（咬破）one of Dads shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end.
