8.It was 3:30 in the morning and 8-year-old Walt Disney was doing what he did at that time every morning-rolling hundreds of newspapers he would soon deliver in his neighborhood.
   It was hard work for a little kid who had to go to school,then deliver another round in the evening.But delivering papers beat(比更好) picking apples for a living.That's what he'd been doing before,on his family's failing farms in Missouri.
   Walt Disney,born in December,1901,never had time for a childhood.As a result,he spent all of his adult life attempting to invent one for himself.In the process 一 almost by accident一 he created wonderful childhood memories for generation after generation of children worldwide.
   When the Disneys moved to Chicago,Walt signed up for cartooning classes,working three part-time jobs to pay for them.At 24,he created a character called Oswald the Lucky Rabbit,which was a great success.He then shifted(轉(zhuǎn)移) his attention to mice,or one particular mouse called Mickey.And Mickey Mouse became an overnight success.
Success followed success,but Walt Disney pushed himself even harder.He produced Snow White and Seven Dwarfs,for which he won a special Oscar.After the Second World War,Walt   came up with the idea of Disneyland.Everyone said it was too costly a dream,but he wouldn't   listen.His great world of fantasy opened on July 17,1955.In the next seven weeks,more than one million people walked into Disneyland.The man who had spent a painful childhood now watched other people enjoy the perfect childhood world that he had created.

16.Hello,everyone.First let me introduce myself.My name is Jenny Barker,and I work at St.James Hospital.As most of you know,I'm here today to talk about blood transfusion.The idea of blood transfusion is very simple,but that idea has saved many thousands of lives over the past century.Often,if a person is in an accident,or has an operation,he will lose a lot of blood.And these are times when blood transfusion is needed.This simply means taking blood from another person and putting it into the body of the patient.Doctors have been carrying out blood transfusions for hundreds of years.At first,they used blood from sheep.But that wasn't very successful.It wasn't until the last century that doctors realized there are several types of blood,and that the correct type must always be used.Once they knew that,blood transfusion had become almost a hundred percent successful.So,you might be thinking:what does this have to do with me?Well,it has something to do with all of us.Hospitals need to keep banks of blood ready for transfusion.The only way they can get that blood is from ordinary people like you.All the human body has five liters of blood,and we take 0.5 liters from each person.This is completely safe.In fact,your body will make enough blood to replace it after around a day.Giving blood only takes a short while,and it doesn't hurt.It costs you nothing,and it could save a life.So please give blood.
66.What might the speaker most probably be?A
A.A doctor or a nurse
B.An engineer
C.A teacher
D.A scientist.
67.What is a blood transfusion?D
A.Losing a lot of blood in a serious accident or a difficult operation.
B.Finding out the amount of blood a patient needs for an operation.
C.Identifying the right type of blood a person has for the patient.
D.Taking blood from someone else and putting it into a patient's body.
68.What finally made almost every blood transfusion successful?B
A.The founding of a blood bank
B.The discovery of blood types.
C.The experiment with sheep blood
D.The developed skill of taking out blood.
69.If you give 10% of your blood,how long does it take your body to replace it?D
A.One week
B.Five days
C.Two days
D.One day.
70.What is the main purpose of the speech?A
A.To call on people to give blood
B.To explain what a blood transfusion is.
C.To review the history of research on blood
D.To explain the theory of blood replacement.

13.For eighty-four days old Santiago had not caught a single fish.At first a young boy,Manolin,had shared his bad fortune,but after the fortieth luckless day the boy's father told his son to go in another boat.From that time on,Santiago worked alone.The boy loved the old fisherman and always helped him with money and food.Usually,they would talk about the fish they had taken in luckier times or about American baseball after supper.While at night,alone in his cottage,Santiago dreamed of lions on the beaches of Africa,where he had gone years before.He no longer dreamed of his dead wife.
On the eighty-fifth day,Santiago set off to fish before dawn.Two of his baits (餌) were fresh tunas (金槍魚) the boy had given him,as well as sardines (沙丁魚) to cover his hooks.Then he set his lines which went straight down into deep dark water.
As the sun rose he saw other boats in toward shore.A bird showed him where dolphins were chasing some flying fish.This time Santiago saw tuna jumping in the sunlight.A small one took the hook on his line.Pulling the fish aboard,the old man thought it a good fortune.
Toward noon a marlin,a common fish in the sea,started eating the bait which was one hundred meters down.Gently the old man played the fish,a big one,as he knew from the weight on the line.At last he struck to settle the hook(固定好魚鉤).The fish did not come out of the surface.Instead,it began to pull the boat to the northwest.The old man followed it.Although he was alone and no longer strong,he had his skill and knew many tricks.He waited patiently for the fish to be tired.
It was cold after the sunset.When something took one of his remaining baits,he cut the line with his knife.Once the marlin leaned suddenly,pulling Santiago forward on his face and cutting his cheek.By dawn his left hand was cramped (抽筋的).The fish had headed northward; there was no land in sight.Hungry,he cut pieces from the tuna and chewed them slowly.
That morning the fish jumped.Seeing it,Santiago knew he had hooked the biggest marlin he had ever seen.Then the fish went down and turned toward the east.Santiago drank a little water from the bottle during the hot afternoon.
Close to nightfall a dolphin took the small hook he had rebaited.He lifted it aboard,careful.After he had rested,he cut meat from the dolphin and kept also the two flying fish he found in its stomach.That night he slept.He awoke to feel the line running through his fingers as the fish jumped.Feeding line slowly,he tried to tire the marlin.After the fish slowed its run,he washed his cut hands in sea water and ate one of the flying fish.At sunrise the marlin began to circle.Faint(眩暈的),he worked to bring the big fish nearer with each turn.Almost exhausted,he finally drew his big fish alongside and drove in the harpoon (魚叉).The fish was two feet longer than the boat.No fish like it had ever been seen in Havana harbor.
An hour later,he sighted the first shark,a fierce Mako,and it came in fast to chase after the dead marlin.The old man struck the shark with his harpoon.The Mako rolled and sank,carrying the harpoon with it and leaving the marlin bloody.He knew the smell would spread.Watching,he saw two sharks closing in.He struck at one with his knife and watched it sliding down into deep water.The other he killed while it tore at(撕扯) the flesh of the marlin.When the third appeared,he thrust (刺) it with the knife.The other sharks came at sunset.At first he tried to beat them with the tiller (舵柄) from the boat,but his hands were bleeding and there were too many in the sea.In the darkness,as he steered(掌舵) toward the harbor of Havana,he heard them hitting the boat again and again.But the old man thought only of his steering and his great tiredness.He had gone out too far and the sharks had beaten him.He knew they would leave him nothing but the stripped skeleton of the big marlin.
All lights were out when he sailed into the little harbor and beached his boat.He could just make out the white backbone and the upstanding tail of the fish.Once he fell under their weight and lay patiently until he could gather his strength to go on.In his cottage he fell on his bed and went to sleep.
55.The above story is adapted fromC.
A.Treasure Island               
B.The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer
C.The Old Man And The Sea      
D.The Son Of The Sea
56.Why did the man feel that he could be lucky this time?A
A.Because a small tuna took the hook on his line.
B.Because he dreamed about the American lions.
C.Because he saw many flying fish were chased by the dolphins.
D.Because a lot of sharks followed his boat.
57.According to the text,which statement is NOT true about Manolin?D
A.The boy had mercy on Santiago.
B.The boy often shared his stories with Santiago.
C.The boy showed his great concerns to Santiago.
D.The boy was Santiago's adopted son.
58.Why does Santiago let the marlin lead his boat instead of pulling the big fish up?C

B.He was too tired and hungry to pull the big fish up.
C.His experience told him not to do so before the fish was tired out.
