We find __44__ just about reaching the top, and a "small" __45__ inside says, "You’ll never make __46__.""You can’t possibly do this." On and on the "small" voice __47__ our failure. Failure ,__48__ is one of the most important tools we have may teach us valuable (極寶貴的) __49__ . When we learn these lessons well, we are ready __50__ success.
I always tell my children that you __51__ do anything that your heart desires(渴望). Remember the saying, "Nothing is __52__ to a willing heart."

小題5:考查名詞。本句意為“我最終實(shí)現(xiàn)了我的目標(biāo)”
小題6:考查副詞。結(jié)合下文“夢(mèng)想被偷走”，可知作者“幾乎專職地……”
小題7:考查名詞。由上文談?wù)搲?mèng)想可知，此處應(yīng)為“偷走我們的夢(mèng)想”。
小題8:考查形容詞。but表語義轉(zhuǎn)折，告訴我們此處應(yīng)為greatest，即“最大的敵人是我們自己”。
小題9:考查代詞。find oneself發(fā)現(xiàn)自己處于某種狀態(tài)。
小題10:考查名詞。noise嘈雜聲，喧鬧聲，或令人厭煩的聲音；sound指一切能聽到的聲音；voice指說話的聲音；speech指演講、講話。由下文And on and on the “small” voice這一語境可知此處應(yīng)為voice。
小題11:考查代詞。make it是固定搭配，意思為“獲得成功”。
小題12:考查動(dòng)詞。由句意可知此處應(yīng)為可“預(yù)測(cè)，預(yù)見”某種失敗。

In a room at Texas Children Cancer Center in Houston, eight-year-old Simran Jatar lay in bed with a drip (點(diǎn)滴) above her to fight her bone cancer. Over her bald (禿的) head, she wore a pink hat that matched her clothes. But the third grader’s cheery dressing didn’t mask her pain and weary eyes.
Then a visitor showed up. “Do you want to write a song?” asked Anita Kruse, 49, rolling a cart equipped with an electronic keyboard, a microphone and speakers. Simran stared. “Have you ever written a poem?” Anita Kruse continued. “Well, yes,” Simran said.
Within minutes, Simran was reading her poem into the microphone. “Some bird soaring through the sky,” she said softly. “Imagination in its head…” Anita Kruse added piano music, a few warbling (鳴, 唱) birds, and finally the girl’s voice. Thirty minutes later, she presented Simran with a CD of her first recorded song.
That was the beginning of Anita Kruse’s project, Purple Songs Can Fly, one that has helped more than 125 young patients write and record songs. As a composer and pianist who had performed at the hospital, Kruse said that the idea of how she could help “came in one flash”.
The effect on the kids has been great. One teenage girl, curling (蜷縮) in pain in her wheelchair, stood unaided to dance to a hip-hop song she had written. A 12-year-old boy with Hodgkin’s disease who rarely spoke surprised his doctors with a song he called I Can Make It.
“My time with the kids is heartbreaking because of the severity of their illnesses,” says Anita Kruse. “But they also make you happy, when the children are smiling, excited to share their CD with their families.”
Simran is now an active sixth grader and cancer-free. From time to time, she and her mother listen to her song, Always Remembering, and they always remember the “really sweet and nice and loving” lady who gave them a shining moment in the dark hour.
小題1:Simran Jatar lay in bed in hospital because ______.
A．most of her hair had fallen out
B．she was receiving treatment for cancer

小題2:What do we know about Anita Kruse’s project?
A．It helps young patients record songs.
B．It is supported by singers and patients.
C．It aims to replace the medical treatment.
D．It offers patients chances to realize their dreams.
小題3:What does the case of a 12-year-old boy suggest?
A．Most children are naturally fond of music.
B．He was brave enough to put up performance.
C．The project has positive effect on young patients.
D．Singing is the best way to treat some illnesses.
小題4:What is probably the best title for the passage?

His first successful fight was for the equal rights of black people in South Africa. Then, as the first black president, he fought to unite the country and organize the government. Now Nelson Mandela has set his sights on a new enemy, AIDS.
On March 19 the 82-year-old, former president, hosted his second AIDS-awareness concert. He warned that 25 million people in Africa were already infected with the fatal disease.
Mandela was born in a small village in South Africa in 1918. He was adopted by the chief of his tribe and could have been a chief himself and lived a happy country life.
But he refused to be a chief when his people lived under racial discrimination(歧視). He decided to fight for equal rights for all the people in South Africa. Before 1990, under the country’s Racial Segregation Law, colored and white people lived separately. Black people were treated unfairly even when taking a bus. Blacks had to stand at the back of the bus to make room for white people even when there were only a few of them on board.
For his opposition to the system, Mandela was arrested and spent 27 years in prison. He was freed in 1990 and became the president of the country after the first election were held in which everyone could vote.
Mandela was not only a political fighter who attacked with speeches. He was also a trained boxer and fought in the ring when he was young.
“Although I did not enjoy the violence of boxing, I was interested in how one moved one’s body to protect oneself, how one used a strategy both to attack and retreat”, he wrote in his autobiography.
As a skillful fighter, he chose music as his weapon against AIDS. He hopes to win another victory against AIDS.
小題1:When was Mandela arrested? 
A．In 1963B．In 1990
C．When he refused to be a chiefD．When he became the president
小題2:Nelson Mandela succeeded in doing the following except _______.     
A．winning the equal rights for the black people in South Africa
B．Uniting South Africa
C．organizing a government in South Africa
D．controlling the spread of AIDS
小題3:If Nelson Mandela hadn’t fought against racial discrimination, he_______. 
A．could have been the president of South Africa
B．could still have lived a happy life
C．could have been in a difficult situation
D．would have been an excellent boxer
小題4:Which of the following statements can best describe the life of Nelson Mandela?

His name was Fleming, and he was a poor Scottish farmer. One day, while trying to eke（補(bǔ)充） out a living for his family, he heard a cry for help coming from a nearby bog (沼澤地).

When I was six years old, my mom told me that I could find anyone's number in the phone book. I used to look through the phone book for hours trying to find Michael Jordan's phone number. When I couldn't find it, I just dialed seven numbers. When someone answered, I'd ask, "Is that Michael Jordan?" Obviously, I always had the wrong number.
A year later I started playing basketball at my local recreation center. It was very big. I never thought in my wildest dreams that a basketball court could be inside a building. The recreation center had a special smell in it, sort of like hot rubber. I guessed it was from the shoes hitting the floor so fast and hard. The atmosphere on the court was carefree. Our biggest excitement of the day was when we actually made a shot. We celebrated wins over ice cream at a fast food restaurant.
I got good at it, and my confidence grew. I played it all the time until the sixth grade. As soon as junior high school came, I stopped playing basketball and focused on school. When senior high school started, I tried out for the school team and made it. We worked hard. Every week we did 300 push-ups and 300 sit-ups on our own. Our coach encouraged the sit-ups to keep stomach power, because it gave us so much control when we were playing basketball. If we didn't want to do the sit-ups and push-ups, we could practice dribbling (運(yùn)球) and shooting more. It's just us, the ball, the court and the net. But don't take my word for it. See for yourself. After all, I'm just one kid playing the game.
小題1:From Paragraph 1 we know that ____.
A．the author's mother gave him some wrong phone numbers
B．the phone book contained everyone's phone number except Michael Jordan's
C．the author wanted to contact Michael Jordan very much
D．the author didn't know how to use a phone at that time
小題2:What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A．The days of the author playing basketball at a recreation center.
B．The author's excitement of making shots when playing basketball.
C．The days before the author went to senior high school.
D．The author's happy childhood with his teammates.
小題3:What surprised the author most at the recreation center?
A．That it was very near to his home.
B．That there was a basketball court inside the building.
C．That there was a special smell in it.
D．That there was a fast food restaurant in it.
小題4:The author's coach encouraged them to do sit-ups because ____.
A．it is the basic preparation to play basketball
B．it is more useful than dribbling and shooting
C．it is the only way to make people stronger
D．it helps keep stomach power
小題5:What's the author's purpose in writing this passage?
A．To introduce some skills in playing basketball.
B．To tell us about his dream of becoming a basketball star.
C．To introduce his own experience of playing basketball.
D．To tell us how to balance playing basketball and studying.
