20.To do anything and get anywhere you've got to be a dreamer first.A long time ago I used to dream about being a real actor and now it's come true.
Several teachers at school in Liverpool had a special influence on me.I went to Hayworth Street School,where there was an English and art teacher called Mr.Jackson.He was quite strict,but if he went out of the room for a minute,he'd ask me to keep the class in good order.I was only 12but he'd say,"Tommy,get up there and tell the class a story."And I did.And it was like nothing,it was easy.
Then,at Venice Street,ther was an English teacher called Mr.Vurnette.He ran a theatre.He took us all down there once a year and I remembered looking at the stage and thinking,"Wow!That's great!I love that."So from an early age acting was calling me.
I moved schools again and ended up going to Walton Technical College,and I stayed there until I was 16.Elwyn Jones was another English teacher who encouraged me to write.
So I guess it was these teachers who encouraged me and stopped me going wrong.
The biggest influence on my life,without any doubt,was my mother,F(xiàn)eggy.At the age of 86,she's still a great driving force.She bought me my first banjo when I was 17.I started playing in the pubs and clubs and began to see myself as a performer,even though I got into the construction industry after graduation.
So I learned a lot at school and at home,and I was able to take this on and use it positively.
I'm probably learning more now at 62than ever before.I would like to think there are still a few things I haven't done and that I will do in the short time I have left.I'm still dreaming.

47.What can we know about the author from the passage?D
A.He is working in the construction industry at present.
B.He regarded Mr.Jackson as the greatest teacher in his life.
C.He performed badly so he had to change schools frequently.
D.He showed great interest in acting when he was young.

A.a(chǎn) musical instrument    
B.a(chǎn) toy    
C.a(chǎn) recorder

49.Who first gave the author an opportunity to perform for others?C
A.Elwyn Jones      
B.Mr.Vurnette

D.His mother

B.Being a dreamer is important for everyone.
C.Mother is always standing with her child.

11.In Britain,horse boarding is a fresh sport!Boarders on off-road skateboards are dragged by horses,reaching speeds of over 35mph.
Horse boarding was invented by Daniel Fowler-Prime,after he tied a rope between his mountain board and a horse.He had a try on the farm,laughing with his friends.Soon he realized this could actually be a new sport.This summer,he's going to organize Britain's first Horse Boarding Championship(錦標(biāo)賽).
According to Daniel,"We have people from all over the country coming to the training ground to try it.You only need a bit of space and a lot of guts(勇氣)."Easy for him to say,he's a professional stunt (特技) horse rider,but for many people,holding on to a rope while keeping balance at 35mph has to be very hard.If you are thinking to try out the sport,you have to get ready for some serious bumps(碰撞).Falling off the board at high speeds is just like jumping out of a car at 30mph.
As the newest sport in a while,horse boarding is becoming popular,really fast,so its inventor decided to organize the first championship,in the coming summmer.Teams are made up of a board rider,a house and a horse rider.They will race on a 100-meter course.And the team that crosses the finishing line first is the winter.So if you like horse riding and skateboarding,you'll want to keep an eye on this one.

62.The underlined word"dragged"in the passage can be replaced by"B"
A.pushed            
B.pulled         
C.carried
63.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?C

10.Tim Cook,the CEO of Apple,showed off their newest device (裝置),the Apple Watch.Mr.Cook said it is the"most personal"device Apple has ever created.
The Apple Watch is a very small computer a person wears on his or her wrist (手腕).An Apple Watch will be able to do many of the same things as an iPhone.It will show email,texts,news,health readings and other information.It will be different from just seeing what is on your phone.
Like a phone,you will be able to receive calls on your wrist.Mr.Cook smiled while describing this."I've been wanting to do this since I was five years old,"he said."The day is finally here."Twenty years ago,a comic strip hero named Dick Tracy talked into his wrist watch,but until now,that has only been something possible in the future.
The watches will be available in stores in late April.They will be sold at different prices,beginning at $349.But the high-end model will be thousands of dollars.
Apple hopes to excite users so they will want to buy and wear computers on their bodies.The first smartwatches from Samsung,Sony and LG have not been selling well.Only five million smartwatches were sold last year.
One problem with Apple Watch is that you need an iPhone on your body,or nearby,to make this watch fully functional.Like a phone,it will also need to be charged (充電) each night.It remains to be seen whether people really want to carry both a smartphone and a smartwatch.

42.It is clear that Tim CookB.
A.was the creator of the Apple Watch 
B.was proud of their new product
C.is a better CEO than Steve Jobs was
D.is a true fan of comic strips
43.Compared to other Apple devices,Apple Watch willA.
A.be more personal                          
B.be much smarter
C.sell better                                    
D.excite more users
44.The writer doesn't tell us whether Apple Watch can be used toD.
A.receive text messages                     
B.a(chǎn)nswer phone calls
C.read the health                              
D.watch comic strips
45.We learn from the passage thatD.
A.the new device must be charged at night
B.users don't care carrying both a smartphone and a smartwatch
C.Apple Watch will be useless without an iPhone nearby
D.the new products of Apple will be of different prices.
