As a child she had trained as a ballet dancer, but at 15 she had grown too tall for classical ballet, so she became a member of a pop dance team. She got married, and after she had children she retired from show business to bring them up. They grew up, and when they were 18 they left home. She says, “When I decided to do the round- the world race, my husband thought I was bored because the children had left home. He was also worried because I had never sailed before. I was not bored, but I had met some people who told me about the race. They had taken part in it, but they had only done one section, say, from New Zealand to Australia. I wanted to do the whole ten-month journey.” Before Molly left she did a lot of training, but it hadnt prepared her for the worst weather which they experienced. She tells one story. “One night the sea was very rough and it was very cold. I had gone downstairs when a huge wave smashed into the boat and injured two men on the deck. One of the men couldnt move because he had broken his leg. They were taken to hospital by helicopter. That was the worst time.” By the end of October last year, she had raised more than 50,000 pounds for charity. She says, “ Sometimes I ask myself, what did I do? How did I do it? But then I think, its the same as being a dancer. Before I left on the trip, I had trained hard. I had got very fit and had prepared myself completely. Then on the trip I was simply a good team member.”26. What does the word “extraordinary” mean in the title? _B_A. very ordinaryB. very unusual and surprisingC. not specialD. extreme27. The sentence “ my husband thought I was bored “ in Para. 4 meant that my husband thought I felt _A_.A. dissatisfied because I had nothing better to do at homeB. annoyed because I had to wait long for my children to come back homeC. happy because I could do something I was interested in instead of taking care of childrenD. sad because all the children left me when they grow up28. The word “section” in Para. 4 most probably means here _C_A. group of peopleB. part of the trainingC. part of the route of sailD. part of the job29. Which of the following is nearest ( closest) in meaning to “rough” in the sentence “One night the sea was very rough” in Para. 5? C A. not exactB. difficultC. not smooth because of huge wavesD. pleasant30. The last paragraph suggests that _A_.A. the qualities she needed for the trip were the same as those for a dancerB. many years of dancing had already prepared her for the sail completely, so she neednt do anything before the journeyC. she should be kind to other team members during the tripD. she should not forget dancing during the trip短文理解 2In the last 500 years, nothing about peoplenot their clothes, ideas, or languages has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable. In London shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “Potato Famine” of 1845-6, and thousands more were forced to emigrate to America.There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction. Brazil is now the Worlds largest grower of coffee, and coffee is an important crop in Colombia and other South American countries. But it is native to Ethiopia. It is first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400s.According to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered when a goatherd named Kaldi noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush. He tried one and experienced the “wide-awake” feeling that one-third of the worlds population now starts the day with.31. According to the passage, which of the following has changed the most in the last 500 years? _A_A. Food C. PotatoB. Chocolate D. Coffee32. “Some” in “Some still exist today” refers to _C_.A. some cocoa trees C. some shopsB. some chocolate drinks D. some South American Indians33. Thousands of Irish people starved during the “Potato Famine” because _D_.A. they were so dependent on the potato that they refused to eat anything else.B. they were forced to emigrate to AmericaC. the weather conditions in Ireland were not suitable for growing the potatoD. the potato harvest was bad34. Coffee originally came from _C_.A. Brazil B. ColombiaC. Ethiopia D. Arabia35. The Arabic legend is used to prove that _D_.A. coffee was first discovered by KaldiB. coffee was first discovered by Kaldis goatsC. coffee was first discovered in South American countriesD. coffee drinks were first made by Arabs五、阅读下列短文，并根据短文内容判断其后的句子是正确（T），错误（F），还是文字中没有涉及相关信息（NG）。（每题2分，共10分）短文理解3Lily is 70 years old and she takes care of her 91-year-old mother.

Many aspects are to be concerned, but by simply specifying how my family are better off now than ever before suffices it all. We used to live in a cramped and gloomy room, and things were not so good as we had to strive for light and even more fresh air. Now, in this spacious and luminous room that Im talking about, Im leading a life thats more than satisfactory and getting around here and there is no longer a big problem. 范文二： Changes in Life Over the past twenty years or so, great changes have taken place in our life. Take my family for example. My parents contacted others mainly by sending them letters in the past. But now we Call long distance at home. And once my parents listened to the radio for news and other information. But now we get the news by watching TV. Another big change is in my living conditions.

New roads, houses, schools, hospitals have been built. People in my hometown are working hard for a better life.范文四：Changes in lifeThere have been many changes in my life. With the development of the economy, my life is better off. For clothing, I have different styles of pretty clothes. But in the past, there were fewer clothes in my wardrobe. For food, I usually had traditional Chinese food for every meal, rice, noodles or a steamed bun with one or two light dishes such as preserved pickles. Nowadays, I can afford to buy any delicious food, including western foods. For housing, I have moved from a cramped and gloomy room to a big and bright flat. For getting around, I rode an old bike on my way to work years ago. At present, I drive my private car to work and travel. I believe my life will be better and better in the future. 作业2第一部分: 交际用语 (每题2分, 共10分)一、阅读下面的小对话，从A, B, C, D四个选项中选出一个能填入空白处的最佳选项。1.

These are PAT ( Pets As Therapy) dogs. Doctors and nurses are recognizing the benefits of pets more and more particularly for children, people with mental illnesses and elderly people who are separated from their own pets or have had to give up their pets. Stroking and playing with a pet is a calming experience and something to look forward to. One hospital reported that a man with a mental illness, who hadnt spoken for years, first stroked and played with a visiting dog and then started talking to it. Today, around 4,500 dogs and 50 cats and their volunteer owners are at work in the UK bringing comfort and pleasure to over 100,000 people in hospital. There are many other “working dogs”. There are guard dogs, police dogs, hunting dogs and dogs for the blind. Disabled people benefit greatly. Take the case of Alan Smythe, who has to visit hospital every month. Some things are difficult for him because he is in a wheelchair. But his life has altered dramatically since he got a god, Tess, from the charity “Dogs for the Disabled”. “She helps me to get dressed, and she brings me my socks and shoes. She fetches the newspaper from the shop, and she passes me the phone when it rings. I feel so much better too. Its like having a really good friend. She come
