I used to love to watch my high school track team train — especially the long-distance runners. But that year, my eyes were __16 __to a girl whose running style was all wrong. She ran with her arms tucked(塞進(jìn)) close to her body, bouncing(蹦) up and down in a way that must have driven her__17 __crazy. My athletic mind laughed at her strange style, and I began to think __18 __her as “the Bouncer”.
In early May, my high school __19__ a big sports meeting. A large group of athletes joined in the two-mile running race — including the Bouncer. As the race progressed, she quickly fell far __20__ the pack and every runner lapped her at least once before it was over. But she just kept running, __21___ up and down — and always wearing the same smile.
“That poor kid,” I thought. “There was nothing to be __22__ by finishing so far behind the pack. Why didn’t she just __23__?” Still, she never stopped, and her smile never changed.
But a short while later, something __24__ began to happen. As she entered the home stretch(終點(diǎn)直道), a cheer began to rise, growing louder with each step the Bouncer took toward the finish line until, finally, every person in the stands stood and cheered __25 __the fate(命運(yùn)) of the whole race depended on this one lone girl, bouncing toward the finish line.
The Bouncer just ___26 __to run exactly as she’d been doing from the beginning. As she crossed the finish line, the teacher walked out onto the __27__and held her arms tightly.
I’ve seen hundreds of races since that day, and I’ve seen thousands of runners __28___ the finish line. But I’ve never seen anything that showed the true spirit of __29__ as I watched on that warm spring day so long ago, when I saw a race won by a girl I had __30 __called the Bouncer

In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said “Stop! That’s our duck!”
The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody like Mickey.
In the 1930s, 40s and 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared---there were no more new cartoons.
Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today’s children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.
小題1:Who made Donald Duck film?
A.Mickey MouseB.Clarence NashC.Walt DisneyD.Pluto
小題2:When did Donald Duck become popular?
A.In 1933B.In 1934C.In 1966D.In 1930
小題3:Where do today’s children see Donald Duck?
A.In new filmB.At the cinemaC.On televisionD.At concerts
小題4:The underlined word “goody-goody” in the second paragraph means a person who __________ .
A.likes to appear to be faultless in behavior
B.likes to appear to be faulty in behavior
C.dislikes to appear to be faultless in behavior
D.dislikes to be faulty in behavior
小題5:What’s the main idea of the second paragraph?

Nobel, who was born in Stockholm, is a great scientist famous for his dangerous experiments.
Nobel studied in the USA and then Russia between 1850 and 1859. After his return, he started researching into bombs. As is known, bomb is dangerous to life, but Nobel was working under that condition. Once a big explosion in his lab completely destroyed the lab and caused some deaths. After that he had to experiment on a boat in a lake. He received criticism and satire(諷刺), but he proceeded with the work rather than losing heart. From 1860s to 1880s, Nobel made many achievements and his inventions were first used in building roads and digging tunnels. Most of the bombs were safer and more possible to be controlled. Even at the end of the 20th century, we still used his methods.
Nobel had many patents in Britain and other European countries. He was quick to see industrial openings(機(jī)會(huì)) for his scientific inventions and built up over 80 companies in 20 different countries. Indeed his greatness lay in his outstanding ability to combine the qualities of an original scientist with those of a forward­looking industrialist.
But Nobel’s main concern was never with making money or even with making scientific discoveries. Seldom happy, he was always searching for a meaning to life, and from his youth, he had taken a serious interest in literature and philosophy. His greatest wish, however, was to see an end to wars, and thus peace between nations, and he spent much time and money working for this cause. To follow his will, a fund was set up to encourage people to make great progress in physics, chemistry, physiology(生理學(xué)), medicine, literature and peace. That’s the Nobel Prize which means great honor to a scientist.
小題1:Through his early experimental work, it is evident that ________.
A.Nobel was a man of strong will
B.Nobel was a man of gift
C.Nobel seldom got on well with his work
D.Nobel had his heart in his work
小題2:In fact, his inventions were first used in ________.
A.a(chǎn) war to kill and injure his fellow menB.building roads
C.digging tunnelsD.both B and C
小題3:Based on the passage, Nobel, as a scientist, ________.
A.took a single interest in science
B.took a serious interest in money
C.took no interest in literature
D.took a serious interest in literature as well as in science
小題4:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.His wonderful will surely provided other scientists with a large sum of money.
B.In leaving behind a well­meant will, Nobel succeeded in setting up a permanent monument for his interests and ideals.
C.Nobel made a glorious will so that he might be remembered and respected after his death.
D.Nobel expressed his wish in his will that a monument should be put up in memory of him.

Steve Jobs-A surprising success.
Nothing in the early years of Steve Job’s life suggested that he would be so successful. Born in San Francisco, the child of two students, he was adopted and grew up close to Silicon Valley. While at company-and he and his best friend Steve Wozniak got summer jobs there.
After finishing high school in 1972, Jobs studied at an expensive liberal arts college in Portland, Oregon but he dropped pout after one after one term.

It was a very foggy day in London. The fog was so thick that it was impossible to see more than a foot or so. Buses, cars and taxis were not able to run and were standing by the side of the road. People were trying to find their way about on foot but were losing their way in the fog. Mr. Smith had a very important meeting at the House of Commons and had to get there but no one could take him.

A woman renewing her driver’s license at the County Clerk’s office was asked to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.
“What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a …”
“Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”
“We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation…‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.
One day I found myself in the same situation. The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title. “What is your occupation?” she asked.
The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”
The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.
I repeated the title slowly, then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.
“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “Just what you do in this field?”
Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn’t), in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.
As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (鼓舞) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants---ages 13, 7, and 3.
Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6 month old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal(嗓音的) pattern.
I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”
Motherhood…What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door.
小題1:What can we infer from the conversation between the woman and the recorder at the beginning of the passage?
A.Motherhood was not recognized and respected as a job by society.
B.The recorder was impatient and rude.
C.The author was upset about the situation that mothers faced.
D.The woman felt ashamed to admit what her job was.
小題2:How did the female clerk feel at first when the author told her occupation?
A.curiousB.indifferentC.interestedD.puzzled
小題3:Why did the woman clerk show more respect for the author?
A.Because the author cared little about rewards.
B.Because she admired the author’s research work in the lab.
C.Because the writer did something she had little knowledge of.
D.Because she thought the author did admirable work.
小題4:What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?
A.To show how you describe your job affects your feelings toward it.
B.To show that the author had a grander job than Emily.
C.To argue that motherhood is a worthy career and deserves respect.
D.To show that being a mother is hard and boring work.

While firing off pictures of a curious five-month-old fox, photographer Simon Czapp soon realized his subject had quite an interest in photography herself. The clever fox was so curious about the camera equipment that she climbed right on top of it. And while she was supposed to be the subject of the shoot, the fox stood on the shutter release button (快門(mén)按鈕) and took her own frames.
Mr Czapp visited the New Forest Wildlife Park to capture images of new arrival Jessie. She has been at the animal park in Ashurst, Hampshire — home to wolves, deer and other animals in 25 acres of ancient woodland — after being abandoned by her mother.
Mr Czapp said, “Jessie was very playful and curious and not at all camera shy. Soon after I arrived she was chewing my shoes and everything seemed to be a game to her. Then she started exploring the camera I had set up on a tripod (三腳架). She balanced her front paws on it and at one point knocked it over.”
He put the camera back on the tripod and Jessie soon jumped back up. At one point she had all four paws on the camera and was keeping her balance. Mr Czapp added, “She jumped up there several times and I realized it could make a good picture. As I was leaving with the public’s viewing window behind me, I thought I heard the camera go off but didn’t think much of it. But when I checked the memory card afterwards, I was amazed to see Jessie had actually taken two pictures of me photographing her. I couldn’t believe a fox had gained an advantage over me! Jessie is a lovely little fox. There were some lovely photos of her but she obviously thought the photographer was worthy of a picture too!”
小題1:The underlined word “frames” in Paragraph 1 probably means “_________”.
A.photographersB.picturesC.buttonsD.a(chǎn)dvantages
小題2:What do we know about Jessie from the passage?
A.She arrived at the park five months ago.
B.She lives at the park together with some other foxes.
C.She was sent to the park because her mother left her.
D.She loved the life in the park so much that she left her mother.
小題3:What is the RIGHT time order of the following steps in Jessie taking a photo?
a. Jessie pressed the shutter release button.
b. Mr Czapp left the camera to take a photo.
c. Jessie climbed onto the camera and balanced herself.
d. Mr Czapp set up his camera on a tripod.
e. Jessie stood up to look at the back of the camera.
A.d, e, c, b, aB.a(chǎn), b, c, d, eC.c, b, e, a, dD.d, e, b, c, a
小題4:From the passage we can infer that __________.
A.foxes are better at photographing than men
B.some foxes are more friendly than humans
C.Mr Czapp and Jessie took photos for each other
D.Jessie gained an advantage over Mr Czapp in photographing
