At first his parents, like many other parents of disabled children in Niger, did not want to send him to school. They were worried he would be laughed at by his classmates. Despite his disability, and his parents doubts, Ibrahim was determined to go to school. “When I was eight,” Ibrahim says, “other kids of my age were going to school while I stayed at home. I did not like that. So, I pestered（缠着） my parents until they finally let me go to school.” Ibrahims parents sent him to a private school nearby. Although the journey to and from school was a short one, it still wasnt easy for Ibrahim. He had to use his hands to help him move along, protecting them with plastic slippers. But at least he was getting an education.However, after only a year in school, Ibrahims education was interrupted when his parents separated. His mother did not have the means to continue paying for his tuition （学费）.In xx, Ibrahim received some money to be fitted with a leg brace (支架), corrective shoes and his first pair of crutches (拐杖). Now that he was more mobile than before, the most important thing for him was to find a way to go back to school. “I wanted to start school again last October,” Ibrahim says. “After my mother told me she could not afford it, I went to visit some of my relatives for support. And I collected 5,000 francs CFA (US $8) to pay my tuition for half a year. I will find the rest of the money somehow.”Ibrahim attends a school in which he is the only disabled student. According to his teacher, he is among the top five students in a class of 55. 56. Why did Ibrahims parents prefer Ibrahim to stay at home? A. There was a lot of housework for him to do. B. They had no money to pay for his tuition. C. There were not enough schools in the country. D. They were afraid the students would make fun of him. 57. How did Ibrahim go to school before his parents separated? A. He went to school on his wheelchair. B. He went to school on his parents bicycle. C. He walked to school with the support of his hands.D. He walked to school using a pair of crutches.58. Ibrahims education was interrupted because of his _. A. parents doubts B. lack of tuition C. physical disabilityD. terrible mood 59. The best title for the passage might be _.A. A long way to goB. Determined to learnC. The only disabled student D. I did not like thatB A huge shire horse (夏尔马) in Australia has been declared the biggest horse in the world by its owner, beating the current Guinness World Record by several inches. The giant five-year-old, from Pakenham, S.E. Australia, measures an amazing 20.1 hands, or 2.057m tall. He weighs over 1.3 tons (1,300kg) about the same as a small car and is still growing.His owner, horse trainer Jane Greenman, 47, says the only time the horse runs is when there is food on offer. “He eats an incredible amount. I would hate to run a team of eight horses his size it would send you broke (破产的),” she says.The massive horse, whose name is Noddy, was born in Australia with parents imported from England. Noddys grandfather, Ladbrooke Edward (UK) was the worlds tallest horse during the 1980s. But Jane had no idea that the horse she raised from the age of six months would grow this big. Noddy immediately began to rocket and soon overtook (超过) both his parents in size. Although she says that she is not interested in the Guinness Book of World Records, Jane has carried out her own research and is sure that Noddy es top. “The nearest is a horse in Texas, at 20 hands,” says Jane. “Noddy is already an inch taller than that. The scary thing is he still hasnt finished shire horses arent fully grown until theyre about six or seven.”Jane has said that Noddy could be sold overseas, possibly even fetching a record price to match his height. She is unwilling to sell, but to cover the high cost of keeping him, she needs to put him to work. “He needs a job. Its very hard to find jobs for such a big horse in Australia. I wish he could stay here but Ive tried everywhere,” she says regretfully. “I just want people to enjoy this beautiful animal as much as I do.”60.

She doesnt know how to apply for the Guinness World Record.B. She has to support eight big horses at the same time.C. Another horse in Texas is growing even faster than hers.D. There is not enough money to cover the cost of raising her horse.62. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. Noddy must be as powerful as a small carB. Noddys growth can be genetically explainedC. many people are willing to buy NoddyD. no job will be available for Noddy at all63. What would be the best title for this passage?A. New world record for the biggest horseB. Jane Greenman bees famous for her horseC. Large size means no job for a big horseD.

Online schools receive the same amount of funding as all other public schools, even though they dont have to pay for rent or school equipment. States should use their educational funds to improve education at real schools, not to support online programs.Some students only use online classes to supplement their school work. They benefit from the social experience of a traditional high school, while still taking online courses. However, about 90 thousand students in America receive their education only from online schools. 50 thousand of these students take courses at Florida Virtual School, the largest online school in the country. While this method of schooling helps students who live in remote regions, most school systems are upset that they are losing more students each year to these online programs. Although online learning allows children to work at their own pace, these online schools have only one teacher per several hundred students. Often, teachers cant give struggling students the help they need as they are unable to talk face-to-face with them, to find exactly what theyre having difficulty with. Additionally, even though online schooling acmodates（顾及） students who live in more remote states, students in online programs may suffer in social situations because they will not learn valuable munication skills from their schooling. Similar to students who are home schooled, those who take only online classes wont learn social etiquette（礼节）, and will be treated differently by their peers （同龄人）. Online schooling might be useful for places where there are not enough students for a real school, such as agricultural regions, but states should only spend taxpayers money on online schools in extreme cases.68. What is the passage mainly about? A. Whether students should study at online schools. B. Whether online schools should be allowed to exist.C. Whether taxpayers should pay for online schools.D. Whether traditional schools should be replaced.69. According to the passage, online schooling _.A. is helpful to students living in remote regionsB. allows students to work togetherC. makes it possible for students to get immediate helpD. develops students critical thinking70. According to Paragraph 5, the author worries that students at online schools _.A. might lose interest in learning B. would play online games C. could not receive teachers help D. could not bee fully developed 71. What is the authors attitude? A. Taxpayers should not pay for online schools at all.B. Taxpayers should pay more for online schools than real schools. C. Taxpayers money should be spent on online schools conditionally. D. Taxpayers should support online schools in different ways.EMost schools forbid chewing gum, but in a few years they might consider changing that rule. Why? Scientists are finding evidence that gum chewing may be good for your health. It may even help improve your test scores. This exciting research is just beginning. And in the meantime, panies are also experimenting with adding vitamins, minerals, medicines, and other substances that could give gum the power to cure headaches and fight everything from serious diseases to bad breath. Other researchers are finding that gum might work better than a pill to deliver medicines and other substances into the bloodstream. Thats because the lining (膜) of our cheeks can absorb certain substances more quickly than our stomachs and intestines (肠) can.That discovery could help other researchers develop medicine-containing gums that fight colds, ease headaches, battle nervousness, and more. Scientists might even create antimicrobial (抗菌的) gums that cure bad breath. Those projects may take years, but gum scientists have already had at least one recent success: Theyve created a gum that could help us stay awake.Researchers have produced a gum called Stay Alert. Each stick has as much caffeine as a cup of coffee. It can take an hour for the caffeine in coffee to have its full effect, but the caffeine in Stay Alert hits in just a few minutes.The gum is easy to transport and its stable in cold and hot climates. Unlike a pill, it doesnt require water to swallow. Those qualities make it easy for soldiers to use. For now, Stay Alert is available only to the military (军队). The manufacturer may one day offer it for sale to the public. People who work at night, such as truck drivers and medical personnel who ride in ambulances, might benefit from a product like Stay Alert.72. The passage mainly talks about _.A. the rule of forbidding chewing gum in schoolB. new research on chewing gumC. different kinds of chewing gumD. the relationship between chewing gum and medicine73. What does the underlined word “hits” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?A. Touches. B. Attacks.C. Takes effect.D. Affects badly.74. According to the passage, Stay Alert is a gum which can help people _.A. stay awakeB. fight coldsC. cure headachesD. overe nervousness75. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. Stay Alert is not easy to storeB. Stay Alert needs water to swallowC. Stay Alert is available to the public nowD. we cant buy gums that cure bad breath nowIV短文改错I will go to college in the near future.
