We Never Told Him He Couldn't Do It
My son Joey was born with club feet(畸形足). The doctors assured us that with treatment he would be able to walk normally—but would never run very well. The first three years of his life were spent on surgery, casts and braces. By the time he was eight, you wouldn't know he had a problem when you saw him walk.
The children in our neighbourhood ran around as most children did during play, and Joey would jump right in and run and play, too. We never __36__ him that he probably wouldn't be able to run as __37__ as the other children. So he didn't know.
In the seventh grade he decided to __38__ for the crosscountry team. Every day he __39__ with the team. He worked harder and ran __40__ than any of the others—perhaps he __41__ that the abilities that seemed to come __42__ to so many others did not come naturally to him. Although the __43__ team runs,only the __44__ seven runners have the potential(潛能) to __45__ points for the school. We didn't tell him he probably would never make the team, so he didn't know.
He __46__ to run four to five miles a day, every day—even the day he had a 103-degree fever. I was __47__, so I went to look for him after school. I found him running all __48__. I asked him how he felt. “Okay,”he said. He had two more miles to go. The __49__ ran down his face and his eyes were glassy(無(wú)神的) from his fever. Yet he looked straight ahead and __50__ running. We never told him he couldn't run four miles with a 103-degree fever. So he didn't know.
Two weeks later,the __51__ of the team runners were called. Joey was number six on the __52__. Joey had made the team. He was in the __53__ grade—the other six team members were all eighth-graders. We never told him he shouldn't __54__ to make the team. We never told him he couldn't do it... So he didn't know. He just __55__ it.
36.A.told B.offered

閱讀下面的短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C、D)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
A
One evening I noticed a young woman in a bar. She was different from other customers who passed her by. Some didn't see her because she wasn't fit in the “bar scene” and others because her physical condition made her different—she was born with a disability—her left leg was shorter than the right when she walked.
It was the “difference” that drew me to her. The woman didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, she was self-confident and full of life. Have you ever seen a person who just looked as though he knew something that you didn't know? Well, that was exactly how she looked as she smiled from the moment she went to her table to the moment she left. How did she own this quality while other customers did not?
Other customers drank and talked about the trouble they met... she did not. Other customers complained about the “unfair” life... she did not. Other customers found courage in a bottle... she did not. There was no dancing for her. However, she saw obvious value and pleasure in just being there.
This woman showed such appreciation, confidence and consideration at the moment. Faced with great adversity—her disability, this young woman clearly did better not worse; faced with her tragedy(悲劇), she realized that she needed to make a decision to be better, and not worse,while so called “normal” people can't even see the existence of other choices.
Whatever the ease may be, don't miss the wonderful gift that this young woman has given to me and also given you: you have a choice to find pleasure in every moment and to move towards a purpose that provides you with satisfaction.
56.What attracted the author's attention in the bar?
A.A beautiful young woman.
B.The disability of a woman.
C.The busy and noisy bar scene.
D.The poor performance of a customer.
答案:B 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第一段“One evening I noticed a young woman in a bar... her physical condition made her different—she was born with a disability...”和第二段“It was the ‘difference’ that drew me to her”可知,是這個(gè)年輕女士的殘疾吸引了作者的注意力。
57.Compared with other customers, the young woman ________.
A.has a good, unique quality
B.was easier to get attention
C.wasn't so talkative and outgoing
D.had few chances to perform herself
答案:A 事實(shí)細(xì)節(jié)題。根據(jù)第二段第四句“Have you ever seen a person... while other customers did not?”可知,這個(gè)年輕女人擁有別人不具備的品質(zhì),即擁有獨(dú)特的品質(zhì)。故選A。
58.What does the underlined word “adversity” mean?
A.Opportunity. B.Difficulty.
C.Misfortune. D.Challenge.
答案:C 詞義猜測(cè)題。根據(jù)下文“...her disability... faced with her tragedy, she realized that she needed to make a decision to be better, and not worse...”中的“disability”及“tragedy”可推知,畫(huà)線詞含義為“不幸,厄運(yùn)”。故選C。
59.What does the young woman tell us?
A.The life is fair to everyone.
B.Don't complain about life.
C.People can find pleasure through improving the quality.
D.People need to understand how to find pleasure.
答案:D 推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段可知,這個(gè)殘疾的年輕女人“告訴”我們,不管你在什么樣的場(chǎng)合處于什么樣的境地,都有很多選擇,要發(fā)現(xiàn)生活的樂(lè)趣,要朝著令你滿意的方向前進(jìn)。由此可推知,那位殘疾的年輕女人告訴我們需要懂得尋找生活的快樂(lè)。故選D。
B
When other nine-year-old kids were playing games, she was working at a petrol station. When other teens were studying or going out, she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street. But she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship and gain entry to Harvard University. And her amazing story has inspired a movie, “Homeless to Harvard:The Liz Murray Story”, shown in late April.
Liz Murray, a 22-year-old American girl, has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination. Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted parents. There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house. Liz was the only member of the family who had a job. Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just 15 years old. The effect of that loss became a turning point in her life. Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died, she decided to do something about it.
Liz went back to school. She threw herself into her studies, never telling her teachers that she was homeless. At night, she lived on the streets. “What drove me to live on had something to do with understanding, by understanding that there was a whole other way of being. I had only experienced a small part of the society,” she wrote in her book Breaking Night.
She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. She used the benefits that come easily to others, such as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that “next to nothing could hold me down”. She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University. But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father, who has also developed AIDS. “I love my parents so much. They are drug addicts. But I never forget that they love me all the time.”
Liz wants moviegoers to come away with the idea that changing your life is “as simple as making a decision”.
文章大意:逆境和厄運(yùn)只能打敗脆弱的人,Liz用毅力和決心改變了自己的命運(yùn)。
60.In which order did the following things happen to Liz?
a.Her mother died of AIDS.
b.She worked at a petrol station.
c.She got admission into Harvard University.
d.The movie about her life was put on.
e.She had trouble finding a place to sleep.
A.b,a,e,c,d B.a(chǎn),b,c,e,d
C.e,d,b,a,c D.b,e,a,d,c
答案:A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一、二、三段內(nèi)容可知,Liz 9歲時(shí)在加油站打工,15歲時(shí)母親去世,之后她決定重返學(xué)校,在無(wú)家可歸的情況下她刻苦努力,之后被哈佛大學(xué)錄取,最后她的故事被搬上了銀幕。故A項(xiàng)正確。
61.The main idea of the passage is ________.
A.how Liz managed to enter Harvard University
B.what a hard time Liz had in her childhood
C.why Liz loved her parents so much
D.how Liz struggled to change her life
答案:D 主旨大意題。通讀全文可知,本文講述了一個(gè)女孩戰(zhàn)勝重重困難,頑強(qiáng)拼搏,不向命運(yùn)低頭,最終取得成功的故事,故D項(xiàng)最能概括文章大意。
62.What actually made her go towards her goal?
A.Envy and encouragement.
B.Willpower and determination.
C.Decisions and understanding.
D.Love and respect for her parents.
答案:B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的第一句可知,是Liz的毅力和決心驅(qū)使她一直朝著目標(biāo)奮斗的。
63.When she wrote“What drove me to live on...I had only experienced a small part of the society”, she meant that ________.
A.she had little experience of social life
B.she could hardly understand the society
C.she would do something for her own life
D.she needed to travel more around the world
答案:C 句意理解題。根據(jù)上下文可知,畫(huà)線部分表示“讓我繼續(xù)活下去的動(dòng)力是我對(duì)這個(gè)世界的理解,它讓我知道了還有其他完全不同的生存方式。我只經(jīng)歷了社會(huì)的一小部分”。由此可知,Liz想做些事情改變她自己的命運(yùn)。
C
Erik Weihenmayer was born with an eye disorder. As a child his eyesight became worse and then,at the age of 13, he lost his sight completely. However,he did not lose his determination to lead a full and active life.
Erik became an adventurer. He took up parachuting, wrestling and scuba-diving. He competed in long-distance biking,marathons and skiing. His favorite sport, though,is mountaineering.
As a young man, Erik started to climb mountains. He reached the summit of Mount McKinley in 1995 and then climbed the dangerous 1000-metre rock wall of EI Capitan. Two years later, while climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in Kenya with his girlfriend, they stopped for a time at 13,000 feet above sea level—in order to get married. In 1999,he climbed Aconcagua, the tallest mountain in South America. And then,on May 25,2001 ,at the age of 33,Erik successfully completed the greatest mountaineering challenge of all. He climbed Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world.
Erik invented his own method for climbing mountains. He carries two long poles: one to lean on and the other to test the way ahead of him. The climber in front of him wears a bell to guide him. Erik is a good team member. He does his share of the job, such as setting tip tents and building snow walls.
Although he could not enjoy the view, Erik felt the excitement of being on the summit of Everest. He hopes that his success will change how people think about the blind. “When people think about a blind person or blindness,now they will think about a person standing on top of the world.”
文章大意:文章通過(guò)講述殘疾人Erik的故事,告訴我們殘疾人身殘志不殘,他們充分發(fā)揮自己所具有的韌勁,靠勤勞和智慧自強(qiáng)不息,一樣會(huì)獲得成功。

Credit cards let people buy things now and pay for them over months or even years. But some people get deep into debt. And critics say some banks have terms and charges that can make it harder for people to pay off that debt. In the United States, there are calls for stronger government supervision of the credit card industry. Credit cards have been heavily marketed through the mail and at stores. They offer economic power at a price. In 2004, Americans had about $800 billion in credit card debt. Now they owe about $968 billion.
Critics say banks made it very easy to get credit cards. But that may be changing. The crisis in the housing and credit markets is beginning to affect the credit card industry. More payments are late. Charges for late payments are a growing source of profit for banks. But late payments can also signal bad debts.
The central bank, the Federal Reserve, says two-thirds of American banks have recently reported tighter lending requirements. Many people report having their credit limits reduced without warning.
Some lawmakers are concerned that cardholders do not have enough protection from what critics say are abusive policies. These include actions like raising interest rates because of an unrelated event. Also, banks may raise the chances of a late payment by changing monthly payment dates for credit cards.
According to a survey, 82% of Americans think credit cards provide a valuable service. But a majority, 58%, say they do not trust credit card companies. And three out of four think the government should regulate the industry more closely. Three out of four people feel there is always some condition that makes a card less appealing than the company made it sound. And a little more than half say they have had a card that was not as good as they expected. But close to 80% say no one really reads the terms and conditions when they sign up for a credit card.

Science fiction writers create imaginary worlds. The way things work in your imaginary worlds will be based on actual science. So it's important for you to be familiar with the scientific principles and inventions that are related to your creation. For example, if you're writing about human living on a planet with zero gravity, then you need to know the effects of zero gravity on the human body.
Then you have to figure out the exact rules of your imaginary worlds. And you have to follow them. If humans are able to breathe underwater in Chapter 1, your character can't drown in a swimming pool in Chapter 3. The issue here is maintaining your readers' trust. That means the reader is willing to pretend along with you. If you start out with an ordinary detective novel and then throw in someone breathing underwater in the 6th chapter, you will pull the readers out of their imagination. The same thing happens if you change the rules halfway.
Part of your preparation work for the novel is to map out its worlds in great detail. You should decide the following issues: the history of the world, the geography, what possibilities it offers, how everything works in this new reality, and how all of these factors affect the way your characters think, feel, and react to things. You don't have to tell your readers all the rules in the first chapter. But you have to let readers know enough to understand what's going on. This also allows you to work out logical problems and contradictions before you start writing.
When you are writing, remember to make it feet real. You are inviting readers to visit a new world. They will want to be able to see, hear, feel, smell, and even taste what it's like. Whether your novel is about a world without disease or an undiscovered planet, help your readers feel like they're actually there.

Dear Liu Hua,
I learn that you prefer to work directly after high school rather than go to college. But I don't think it is a wise choice in a long term.

答案:
Dear Liu Hua,
I learn that you prefer to work directly after high school rather than go to college. But I don't think it is a wise choice in a long term.
Actually, universities can offer various opportunities which you can take advantage of. Once being there, you can meet with people who share the same interests and build up relationships with them. Last but not least, you can also learn some important skills and improve personal abilities, develop self-confidence, and figure out what you want to be and can do in the future there.
In my opinion, what we can learn and experience in university will be the best treasure of our life.
Best wishes,
Li Ming
