Therefore, how you spend your dash is important. Recently I 36 about a little girl named Hope. After learning more about her life, I couldnt help but feel it was not by 37 , nor happenstance（意外事件）, that she had been named Hope. The strong feeling of sympathy and generosity 38 in her young heart made a lasting impression on me and countless others. 39 I never had the opportunity to meet her, I wish I had. It seems as though she was wise beyond her tender years and very, very special. Hope was a twelve-year-old girl who was 40 a wish in early December xx by the Make-A-Wish Foundation after being 41 that she had a rare type of bone cancer. However, when she found out that more than 150 42 in her area were waiting for their wishes to be achieved , she unselfishly used her wish to 43 that those children have their wishes granted. She also asked that it be done 44 January 16, 2011. Unfortunately, however, the organization informed her that her 45 request could not be granted as the funds were simply 46 . They calculated that they would need to raise more than one 47 dollars in thirty days in order to grant her wish. 48 , but not discouraged, she turned her disappointment into an enthusiasm that inspired caring 49 to take up helping grant the wishes of the other children, and eventually 50 as well. Newspaper columnists and reporters for radio and TV stations 51 the story of this caring young girl who had 52 the hearts of so many and as word spread, the munity was challenged. mittees were fanned and schools, corporations and various organizations assisted in 53 money to help make Hopes dream e true. Her efforts were not in vain as they continue to help others, not only 54 , but spiritually and emotionally as well. At the gathering to celebrate her life, A Celebration of Hope on January 16, 2011 , the 55 was made that they had indeed received donations totaling more than one million dollars.

It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons are, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed many attitudes and habits which distinguish him from other nationalities.Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, reserved person who is fully relaxed only among people he knows well. In the presence of strangers or foreigners he often seems restrained, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a city train any morning or evening to see the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or having a light sleep in a corner, and no one speaks. In fact, to do so would seem most unusual. An Englishman, pretending to be giving advice to overseas visitors, once suggested, “On entering a railway carriage, shake hands with all the passengers.” Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which, if broken, makes the person immediately suspected.In many parts of the world it is quite normal to show openly extremes of enthusiasm, emotion, excitement, etc, often acpanied by appropriate gesture. The Englishman is somewhat different. Of course, an Englishman feels no less deeply than anyone of a different nationality, but he tends to display his feelings far less. This is reflected in his use of language. Imagine a man menting on the great beauty of a young girl. A more emotional man might describe her state “Oh, she is a goddess”, whereas an Englishman might just say “Oh, shes all right.” An Englishman who has seen a highly successful and enjoyable film remends it to a friend by menting, “Its not bad you know”, or on seeing some very unusual scenery he might convey (表达) his pleasure by saying, “Nice, yes, very nice.” The overseas visitor must not be disappointed by this apparent lack of interest and involvement. Instead, he must realize that “all right,” “not bad,” and “nice,” very often have the sense of “first-class,” “excellent,” “beautiful”. This unique style of language use is particularly mon in England, and is known as restrained statement.36According to the passage, the English are different from other nationalities in _. A. habits B. attitudes C. character D. all of the above37The underlined word “restrained” in the second paragraph probably means “_”. A. calm and controlled B. polite and friendly C. nervous and quiet D. silent and kind38In Britain, if you dont want other people to think you are strange, youd better _.A. talk with others as much as possible B. behave just like the English doC. say nothing about yourself D. shake hands with everyone you meet 39If an Englishman says “all right”, it may mean “_”. A. not bad B. correct C. quite right D. wonderful40From the passage, we can infer that an Englishman _. A. doesnt like to show his feelings so muchB. has less emotion than people of other nationalitiesC. finds it easy to express his emotion D. likes to have a joke with strangersI stood outside New Yorks Madison Square Garden and just stared, almost speechless. I was a farm boy from County Kilkenny, a child who some thought would never walk, let alone go as far as I had in the world. From the day I was born, there was a problem. The doctors at the Dublin hospital told my parents I had phoelia, a deformity that affected both legs below the knee, which were outward and shorter than normal and each foot had just three toes. Life was tough. I couldnt stand, much less walk. I rarely, left the farmhouse-and then only in someones arms. Mam bundled me up whenever she took me to town, no matter the season. “The world will see him when he can walk,” she told Dad. “And he will walk.” Mam devoted herself to helping me. She tried everything to get me on my feet. When I was three, she and Dad took me to a clinic in Dublin. A few weeks later we returned to Dublin with my artificial limbs (肢). Back home I practiced walking with my new limbs. “Theres nothing anyone can do but you cant,” Mam said. “You and I are going to walk through town.” The next day Mam dressed me in my finest clothes. She wore a summer dress and fixed her hair and makeup. Dad drove us to the church. We stepped out of the car. Mam took my hand. “Hold your head up high, now, Ronan,” she said. We walked 300 meters to the post office. It was the farthest Id walked, and I was sweating from the effort. Then we left the post office and continued down the street, Mams eyes shining with a mothers pride. That night, back on our farm, I lay exhausted on my bed. It meant nothing, though, pared to what Id done on my walk. Then I began to pursue my dream of singing. And at every step Mams words came back to meRonan, you can do anything anyone else can doand the faith she had in God, who would help me do it. Ive sung from the grandest stages in Europe, to music played by the worlds finest musicians. That night, I stood at the Madison Square Garden, with Mams words chiming in my ears. Then I began singing. I couldnt feel the pulse of the music in my feet, but I felt it deep in my heart, the same place where Mams promise lived.41What was the problem with the author as a baby? A.

The deal means that Rowlings long-standing relationship with Bloomsbury, the London-based publisher that launched (发行) the Harry Potter books, has e to an end, at least in terms of new works by the author. Rowling is keeping her fans guessing about the characters and plot of her new book. She only said that the new novel will be nothing like the Harry Potter series, which was sold over 30 million copies in the UK alone. She thought that with the move from childrens to adult fiction, a switch to a new publisher seemed like a natural and reasonable step. She said, Although Ive enjoyed writing it every bit as much, this book will be very different from the Harry Potter series. The freedom to explore a new field is a gift that Harrys success has brought me. Ian Rankin, the Edinburgh-based author whose highly-successful detective novels are also set in the city, suggested Rowlings book will be a crime novel. Wouldnt it be funny if JK Rowlings first novel for adults turned out to be a crime story set in Edinburgh? he said. Industry insiders guessed that the deal is worth more than 5 million and the new book is expected to e out later this year. A spokesman said, JK Rowlings audience is vast and her position is unique. Harry Potter books were a global success and her fans are very loyal. Children that were eight, nine, or ten when the books first came out in the 1990s are now in their 20s. Plenty of adults, loved the books regardless of whether they had children, so the potential market for her is huge.49What does the text mainly tell us? A. JK Rowling has signed a deal with a new publisher. B. JK Rowlings new book will be more successful than her Harry Potter series. C. JK Rowlings first book for adults will be published later this year. D. JK Rowling has to switch to a new publisher in order to publish her new book.50JK Rowlings new book for adults .

A. Little, Brown and pany is specialized in publishing adult books B. the author has no doubt about the success of Rowlings new book C.

Much to the displeasure of some local businesses, the City Council in West Hollywood, California, voted without opposition last week to ban the sale of fur products. Should laws be involved in this issue? Is it unfair to ban sales of fur, but not sales of leather and hides (兽皮)? Animals Do Not Have Rights By Tibor R. Machan My view is that animals do not have basic rights. It is a matter of ethics (伦理学) and not of the laws of human societies. If animals had such rights as human beings do, they would have to be held responsible for killing fellow animals in the wild. That way of thinking about animals makes a category mistake. Using animals, including their fur or organs, to improve peoples lives is acceptable. A Small Step Against Cruelty By Kate Carter Both fur and leather are the skins of dead animals. Why should we think that the lovable furry ones deserve more of a life than the less pleasing ones? Some say leather is less cruel because its a byproduct (副产品) of the meat industry. But this isnt really true. Some cheap leather may be a byproduct of the meat industry, but often its the other way round. In South Africa, where there is a developing market for ostrich(鸵鸟)farms, the skins account for roughly 80 percent of the slaughtered (宰杀)birds value, a mere 20 percent of which es from the meat. Who Are You Wearing? By Marc Bekoff West Hollywoods ban is a move in the right direction. However, we must work to ban the sales of leather and hides, too. Furs e from animals who are attacked to bee clothing, while some leather and hides e from slaughterhouse(屠宰场) animals. We must remember that when people choose to wear fur, leather and hides, they are wearing formering conscious beings. So its a matter of who they are wearing, not what they are wearing because these animals must be referred to as who and not what or that.53What is the passage mainly about? A. West Hollywoods ban on fur products. B. Differences between fur and leather sales. C. The governments role in protecting animals. D. The ecological imbalance in West Hollywood.54Tibor R. Machan seems to believe that .A. laws should be passed to protect animalsB. humans are respornsible for killing animalsC. it is not reasonable to use animals to improve lifeD. animals and humans arent supposed to share equal rights55What is Kate Carters opinion about wearing fur and wearing leather?A. Both are decided by the meat industry.B. There is little distinction (区别) between them.C. Wearing fur is generally more acceptable.D. Wearing leather is cheaper than wearing fur.56What is Marc Bekoffs att
