Each time I listen to my favorite song Reach, Im deeply 16 by its lyrics: “If I could reach higher, just one moment touch the sky.” When we hear this 17 song sung by Gloria Estefan, we can 18 imagine how she managed to return to the stage after her serious back injury. In 1990, this Cuban singer was 19 down in a terrible traffic accident, and the doctor 20 that she might never walk again. But Gloria did not 21 and kept on working hard toward her 22 . Just one year after the disaster 23 , she stood up again and 24 this encouraging song at the Atlanta Olympics. Whenever I think of Gloria, a 25 crowds in my mind.

There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college. Kings Art Centre A day at the Centre could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists. You could attend a class teaching you how to learn from the masters or get more creative with paint free of charge. The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee. The Botanic Garden The Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University. The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss. Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more monly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals. The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called Hissing Sid is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun. Byrons Pool Many stories surround Lord Byrons time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter plaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness”. However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. Im not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village. It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byrons Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can drop into the village for afternoon tea. If you dont trust me, then perhaps youll take it from Virginia Woolf over a century after Byron, she reportedly took a trip to swim in the same pool. 36. As mentioned in the passage, there is a small charge for _.A. attending the masters classB. working with local artists C. learning life drawingD. seeing an exhibition37. “Torch Aloe” and “Venus Flytrap” are _.A. mon insectsB. impressive plants C. rarely-seen snakesD. wildlife-enthusiasts38. We can infer from the passage that Byron seemed _.A. to fear pet bearsB. to like walking C. to be a heavy drinkerD. to finish university in 180539. In the passage Byrons Pool is described as a lake _.A. surrounded by fieldsB. owned by Lord Byron C. located in GrantchesterD. discovered by Virginia Woolf40. What is the passage mainly about? A. Some places for weekend break. B. A way to bee creative in art. C. The colourful life in the countryside. D. Unknown stories of Cambridge University. BGrey clouds move as low as smoke over the treetops at Lolo Pass. The ground is white. The day is June 10. It has been snowing for the past four days in the Bitterroot Mountains. Wayne Fairchild is getting worried about our trek over the Lolo Trail 95 miles from Lolo Montana to Weippe in Idaho, across the roughest country in the West. Lewis and Clark were nearly defeated 200 years ago by snowstorms on the Lolo. Today Fairchild is nervously checking the weather reports. He has agreed to take me across the toughest, middle section of the trail.When Lewis climbed on top of Lemhi Pass, 140 miles south of Missoula, on August 12, 1805, he was astonished by what was in front of him; “high mountain chains still to the West of us with their tops partially covered with snow.” Nobody in what was then the US knew the Rocky Mountains existed, with peaks twice as high as anything in the Appalachians back East.Today their pathway through those mountains holds more attraction than any other ground over which they traveled, for its raw wilderness is an evidence to the character of two cultures: the explorers who braved its hardships and the Native Americans who prize and conserve the path as a sacred (神圣的) gift. It remains today the same condition as when Lewis and Clark walked it.The Lolo is passable only from July to mid-September. Our luck is holding with the weather, although the snow keeps getting deeper. As we climb to Indian Post Office, the highest point on the trail at 7,033 ft, we have covered 13 miles in soft snow, and we hardly have enough energy to make dinner. After a meal of chicken, I sit on a rock on top of the ridge(山脊). There is no light visible in any direction, not even another campfire. For four days we do not see another human being. We are occupied with the things that mix fear with joy. In our imagination we have finally caught up with Lewis and Clark.41. According to the passage, the word “trek” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to_.A. a fortable walk in a separate country B. a pleasant journey across the countrysideC. a journey over untraveled pathways D. a long, hard journey over rough areas42. We learn from the text that before 1805 .A. the Rocky Mountains were wholly covered with snowB. there were no people living in the western part of AmericaC. no Americans knew of the existence of the Rocky MountainsD. the Appalachians were the western frontier of the United States43. We learn from the text that the Lolo Pass .A. remains much the same as it was 200 years agoB. is the meeting point of three culturesC. has changed a lot since 1805 D. now attracts a large number of tourists to visit44. Judging from the text, Lewis and Clark were most probably_.A. two native Indians B. explorers of the early 19th centuryC. merchants who did business with the IndiansD. travelers whose curiosity took them over the Lolo Pass45. We can infer from the text that when crossing the Lolo Pass the author_.A. was attempting the impossible B. was trying to set a world recordC. was following the trail of Lewis and Clark D. was fighting with weather and taking unnecessary risks C Theres a song by the great Jamaican singer Bob Marley called So Much Trouble In The World. Marley understood that part of the reason why there are so many problems in the world is the lack of tolerance between people. The UN understands this too thats why it made Nov 16 “International Day for Tolerance”. But first of all, what is tolerance? French philosopher Voltaire (16941778) can give us some help. According to him, tolerance “is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty (脆弱) and error; let us pardon each others folly that is the first law of nature.” Nobodys perfect. When were tempted to criticize another person, we should perhaps remember our own imperfections first. Very often, people dont realize that theyre intolerant. This is because intolerance has a lot to do with ignorance. For example, the UNs campaign is in part about the treatment of females by males. But often, the behavior of men toward women is intolerant because men dont put themselves in the shoes of women. Its worth thinking a little about the words “tolerance” and “intolerance”. Are they the best words to describe the evils of which were speaking here? To agree to be “tolerant” of someone isnt necessarily a very respectful thing. When someone is tolerated, it implies that theres something wrong with them. But it seems wrong that people should agree to “tolerate” people with black skin, for example. And should women think they have received the respect they are due when men agree to “tolerate” them? Still, what Voltaire said stands: We humans are not perfect and this weakness is something that we all share. Thats the reason we should be tolerant. Its a little like generosity. We can give things to another person, and we can also give our forgiveness. Bob Marley understood this. In the song mentioned above, he advised: “All you got to do: give a little”. Or, as this older piece of wisdom says: “Write your love on a rock so it stays for eternity; write your hate in the sand so the waves will wash it away”.46. According to Voltaire, tolerance is _. A. being willing to express your love to others B. trying to overe your imperfections C. giving a hand to vulnerable groups (弱势群体) D. accepting each others weaknesses47. Why are people usually unaware of their intolerance, according to the article? A. They are used to finding faults. B. They consider tolerance a kind of frailty. C. They dont see things from the angle of others. D. They are intolerant of themselves too.48. In what sense is “tolerance” similar to “generosity”?A. Humans are advised to treat others better.B. Humans learned to find faults in others.C. Humans need to give something to others.D. Humans will change their attitudes to others.49. The underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refers to _. A. giving things to othersB. forgiving others C. different attitudes toward love and hateD. the fact that humans are imperfect50. Whats the text mainly about? A. The origin of the International Day of Tolerance. B. The meaning and importance of tolerance. C. The philosophy behind Bob Marleys song. D. Effective ways to show tolerance.DDont we all know a “Happy Meal” when we see one the famous boxed meal that includes a hamburger, kid-sized French fries, fruits and milk, served with a toy thats extremely popular with children who love to collect them?A Happy Meal is a form of kids meal sold at a certain fast-food chain since 1979. A toy is included in the meal, both of which are usually contained in a box or paper bag. However, collectors of these little toys will not get them any longer, since the pany will replace toys with books and each of these books will mainly pass on nutritional messages.Happy Meals are extremely popular with kids, especially for their collectable toys, when you consider that over 1.3 billion of these packages are sold each year. These packages have been very controversial. Health supporters believe that drawing kids to these meals with toys is a clever way of promoting unhealthy food choices. They see it as an advertising strategy of “catching its customers young” a move that has paid off very well for the fast-food pany.Child development experts say that food habits get formed in children by age six and continue through to their adult life. Fatty and sugary foods such as those served in Happy Meals are believed to play a big role in growing health problems such as obesity and diabetes. Public health care costs have gone up and untold amounts of money have been spent on coping with these health problems. On November 2, xx, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed a law requiring that childrens meals sold in restaurants must meet certain nutritional standards before they could be sold with toys, to overe the problem of childhood obesityin other words, the State of California tried to ban the toys in Happy Meals. However, it was strongly opposed by some as being heavy-handed, and the ban was thrown out by the government.While some people believe that the fast-food pany, with its large following of children, can create a powerful message through the books, others believe its actions are contradictory. Anyway, the pany is trying to spread the message of nutrition while it is serving food that is anything but healthy.51. The aim of the question raised in Paragraph 1 is_. A. give a surprise to the toy loversB. make readers think about the answer C. call on readers to buy boxed mealsD. get readers attention to the article52. Books will be added into Happy Meals to _. A. introduce the use of the toysB. help kids learn about nutrition C. increase the cost of the mealsD. spread the message of fast food53. According to Paragraph 3, Happy Meals_.A. cost more money than ordinary mealsB. help the customers stay youngC. have achieved the desired resultD. receive approval from health supporters54. What is the authors opinion about Happy Meals?A. They do no actual good to childrens health. B. They teach children a lot about nutrition.C. They bring much fun to children.D. They are popular with the young and the old.55. Whichofthefollowingcanbethebesttitleforthepassage？ A. HappyMeal-ANewAdvertisingMethodB. ThelinksBetweenFoodandHealthC.

My wife had moved back home to spend the weekend with her family.As I was tucking our daughter in (把女儿的被子掖好) later that night, she asked if she could “e home like mommy did” when she got married one day. (Hopefully, one day far off into the future.) I told her our house would always be open to her. She gave me a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. She was extremely happy.After a few seconds, I could see her mind churning (思绪翻腾) the happiness dissipated. She pushed her finger into my belly and told me in low spirits, “Your belly is too big and you are too fat. I dont know if you are going to make it.”I was shocked. It was true that my health had fallen into a huge decline in the previous five years as I was building Contegix. I had not thought of it as destroying a future with my family. A 6-year-old girl saw what I missed.I decided to run a mile the next morning. I couldnt make it 1/4 mile. I didnt give up and went out the next morning.Seven years later, I have lost 60 pounds and regularly run ultra marathons. I attempted my first 100 miles last August, but I missed the terminal point at mile 87 after running on a torn hamstring (腿筋撕裂) for the previous 79 miles.Yet, the most important distance I will ever go will be walking her down the aisle (结婚) one day. I would not mak
