Someday Id be in the Olympics. In fact, it was my dream. That night I lay on our living room floor excitedly watching the battle between the Brians: American Brian Boitano facing Brian Orser in Canada. Both of them had been world champions. Both of them deserved to win. Naturally l was for Brian Boitano,a northern Californian like me. We had skated on the same ice. I held my breath in amazement. Boitano performed successfully. The gold medal! I jumped in the air when his score went up. But what happened next is what Ill never forget. Brian Boitano sat in front of the camera with his coach, surrounded by a group of journalists. He was talking about his career and his medal, talking to the whole world. A terrible sinking feeling went through me. I could never be in the Olympics, I thought. I could not talk in public like that. Just the idea of a press conference terrified me. I loved skating partly because I didnt have to talk. I could express myself with my jumps and dances better. I didnt have to stand up and give a speech like some teachers expected. I could feel the blood rush to my face if I thought a teacher was going to call me. I stared at my shoes. 1 was sure Id make a fool of myself. The next day l was at the rink（溜冰场）as usual.1 was practising a bination of jumps that had once seemed impossible. 1 worked very hard the next few years - on the ice and especially off. After journalists talked to me and although my heart pounded every time I spoke to them, I got to know them. They became familiar faces. And they got to know me. So when my big moment came four years after Brians, I was ready. Sometimes I think my biggest acplishment was not winning the gold but talking to the press afterwards. When you do the thing you fear most, you put an end to fear. Fear can stop you dead in your tracks. Fear can kill a dream. What are you afraid of? What scares you more than anything else? This year, walk right up to it and conquer it, step by step.21. What information can we get from the second paragraph?A. The author lived a hard life. B. The author es from Canada. C. The author once skated with Orser. D. The author wished Boitano to win the match.22. What is one of the reasons why the author liked skating according to the passage? A. She could build up her body to be healthier. B. It could help her to get closer to her idol. C. She could better express herself with body language. D. The possibility of her being a world champion was great.23. What the author felt the most satisfied with is that A. she lived up to her coachs expectations B. she became a world champion as planned C. she managed to overe her inner fear eventually D. she handled the balance between her career and life24. What does the author mainly want to tell us? A. Face a fear bravely. B.Practice makes perfect. C. Bad times make a good man. D.Failure is the mother of success. B Top five best dressed at the Oscars No. 5, Keisha Whitaker. Im still loving yellow. No. 4, Witherspoon seems to be making Best Dressed lists for every event she attends this season. No. 3, Nicole Kidman looked amazing. And honestly, she would have been higher on my list if her dress hadnt had that bow(蝴蝶结 ) thing off to the side that depending on the angle she was standing at, looked like a pirate parrot sitting on her shoulder. No. 2, Cate Blanchett, Armani, simple, yet not boring. And I love the gun metal grey color. And this years No. 1 Best dressed goes to Penelope Cruz. She gets the No. 1 spot for actually taking a chance, and pulling it off. On a different person, her dusty rose colored Versace could have easily been on the Worst Dressed List. But she looks perfect. Top five worst dressed at the Oscars The No. 5 Worst Dressed person was Kirsten Dunst. The dress itself was nice, or at least Im sure it was fashionable. Maybe it would be on anyone but Kirsten, but she ended up looking like a deflated corpse(尸体). No. 4 goes to Gwyneth Paltrow. Her face looked great, but every time the camera cut to a full body shot, it was like Huh. The dress looks bad. No. 3, Anne Hthaway. Giant bows are very rarely a good idea, yet everyone keeps wearing them. Annes bow looked OK at times, but from other angles looked like a large, dead, fuzzy black moth(蛾) on her chest. No. 2, Kelly Preston wearing Dolce &. Gabbana leopard print. Im sorry, its the leopard print. I cant handle it. And nice hair. And the No. 1 Worst Dressed star at this years Academy Awards was Jessica Biel. At the Oscars, hot pink and a belt can make anyone look tacky. And then you just end up looking like an 80s pop star in a room otherwise full of princesses and one tiny layer cake.25. How many best dresses are relevant to color according to the ment? A. 2 B. 3 C.4 D. 526. Nicole Kidman would have looked better if . A. her dress had had that bow thing off to the side B. her dress hadnt had that bow thing off to the side C. she had moved that bow thing off to the side D. she hadnt moved that bow thing off to the side.27. Kirsten Dunst became one of the worst dressed because . A. she wore a wrong dress B. the dress was ugly C. the color didnt fit her D. the decoration was bad28. What does the underlined word tackyin the last paragraph mean? A. Immature. B. Original. C. Fashionable. D. Tasteless. C Students from Florida International University in Miami walked on water Thursday for a class assignment. To do it, they wore aquatic (水上的) shoes they designed and created.Alex Quinones was the first to make it to the other side of a 175foot lake on campus in record timejust over a minute. Quinones, who wore oversized boatlike shoes, also won last year and will receive $500. Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it across the lake in order to earn an “A” on the assignment for Architecture Professor Jaime Canaves, Materials and Methods Construction Class. “Its traditional in a school of architecture to do boats out of cardboard for a boat race. I thought our students were a little bit more special than that，” Canaves said. “We decided to do the walk on water event to take it to the next level.”A total of 79 students peted in the race this year in 41 teams. Only 10 teams failed to cross the lake. Others who fell got back up and made it to the end. The race is open to all students and anyone in the munity. The youngest person to ever participate was a 9yearold girl who peted in place of her mother, while the oldest was a 67yearold female.A large crowd on campus joined Canaves as he cheered on the racers. He shouted encouraging words, but also laughed as some unsteadily made their way to the end.“A part of this is for them to have more understanding of designing and make it work better，” he said. It is also a lesson in life for the students.“Anything, including walking on water, is possible, if you do the research, test it and go through the design process seriously.”29For what purpose did the students take part in the race?ATo go across the lake to school. BTo pass Professor Canaves class.CTo test their balance on the water. DTo win the prize money of $500.30Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?AMost students finished the class assignment successfully.BThe students who fell into the water were criticized seriously by the Professor.CThe students wore shoes distributed by Professor Canaves to walk across the lake.DThe students took part in the race to challenge their physical abilities.31What can we infer from the passage?AAlex Quinones is a top student in the university.BIts a custom for the people in the munity to get involved in student activities.CThe student who made it to the end in the race would succeed in their professional career.DProfessor Canaves attaches importance to handson learning experience.32The purpose of the passage is to _.Ashow his approval of the unique teaching style Binspire teachers to be more creativeCreport an interesting assignment Dencourage more people to take part in the race D Grandpas hobby was making birdhouses. He always said, “A man has to keep busy to stay out of trouble.” Leigh wasnt sure how much trouble Grandpa could get into anyway, since he was such a nice guy, but she tried to listen to his advice. Besides, she liked to help him on his birdhouses. Grandpas shop was full of welloiled and carefullykept tools. Whenever he used something, he put it back in exactly the right place. He had rules about how he treated his tools, because he hated buying something new if the old one still worked. He also made sure to clean up each time he worked on something. It wasnt too fun cleaning up, but it was nice to watch him cut boards to exact lengths. It was nice to see the drill put in holes for screws (螺丝) to go in cleanly. It was like being a doctor, but with wood. The best part of building was seeing all the pieces e together in the final form. The last steps always included lacquer or paint, to help protect Grandpas hard work from the weather. His birdhouses lasted for years. If he didnt coat them properly, the sun and rain would turn the wood grey and weak in a short period of time. No, he always made sure to do things right. Even if he put rocks or other cute decorations (装饰) on them, it was done right and made to last. Grandpa was a hard worker, but he was also smart and generous. He let Leigh keep the birdhouses sometimes, but only if he got to help hang it up or set the post for it. It had to be done just right, after all. The birdhouses were a great way to learn about woodworking, hard work, taking care of what you have, and about birds. The best thing about building birdhouses was that Leigh spent some time with Grandpa.33Whats the best title for the text? A. Longlasting Birdhouses BBirdhouses Making CBirdhouses, Home for Birds DGrandpas Birdhouses34What did Leigh value most? AListening to Grandpas advice. BHelping Grandpa on his birdhouses.
