20.Hank Viscardi was 26years old when he put on his first pair of long trousers and his first pair of shoes.For the first time he saw himself as he had always wanted to be--a full five feet eight inches tall.
Hank had been born without legs.Until he was seven,his world was a world of repeated operations.At last,he had no legs,but stumps (殘肢) that could be fitted with a kind of special boots.
Out of the hospital,Hank often found people slating at him with cruel interest.Children laughed at him and called him"Ape man"because his arms dragged on the ground.He went to school like other boys.His grades were good and he needed only eight years instead of the usual twelve.
After graduation,Hank worked his way through college.He swept floors,waited on table,or worked in one of the college offices.During all this busy life,Hank had been moving around on his stumps.But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer.Hank would soon have to use a wheel chair.
Hank felt himself go cold all over.However,the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs.
Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror and saw himself for the first time five feet eight inches tall.
But this was not the end yet.He had to learn to use his new legs.Again and again he marched the length of the room,and marched back again.There were times when he fell down on the floor,but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching.He went out on the street.He climbed the stairs and learned to dance.He built a boat and learned to sail it.
When World War II came,he persuaded the Red Cross to give him a job.He took the regular training.He marched and drilled along with the other soldiers.Few knew that he was legless.This was the true story of Hank Viscardi,the man without legs.

58.It can be inferred from the story that five feet eight inches isA.
A.a(chǎn)n average(普通的) height for an adult
B.too tall for an average person

分析 文章講述了Hank Viscardi從小失去了雙腿,在自己不斷的努力下最終戰(zhàn)勝自己,并得到一份工作.

解答 58-61 ADAB
58.A 細(xì)節(jié)題.在第一段For the first time he saw himself as he had always wanted to be--a full five feet eight inches tall.這句話告訴我們five feet eight inches 是一個(gè)正常成年人的身高,故答案為A.
59.D推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段When World War II came,he persuaded the Red Cross to give him a job.當(dāng)二戰(zhàn)爆發(fā)時(shí),他說服了紅字會(huì)給他一份工作,暗示出曾經(jīng)他被拒絕過,故答案為D.
60.A細(xì)節(jié)題.文章最后一段He took the regular training,F(xiàn)ew knew that he was legless他參加了正常的訓(xùn)練以及很少人知道他們也腿,推出他做了其他正常士兵該做的事情,故答案為A.
61.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章的內(nèi)容可知,他經(jīng)歷了很多的困難最后都被他克服,尤其在最后一段he persuaded the Red Cross to give him a job紅字會(huì)還提供一份 工作,所以他從不把自己當(dāng)做成和別人不一樣的人,故答案為B.

點(diǎn)評(píng) 閱讀人物傳記,需要從文中整體了解人物,其次細(xì)看文章中關(guān)于人物經(jīng)歷或觀點(diǎn)的細(xì)節(jié)內(nèi)容

8.IF you think tapping (踢踏) your feet three times a second is difficult,how about doing it 600 times in a minute?It's almost impossible.
    But for the tap dancers in Christmas Dancing Shoes,it's no problem.The show,by the Chicago Human Rhythm Project,is one of the best in the world.It ran from December 21-23 in Beijing.
    In the two hour-long show,the dancer showed off four different styles of tap dancing in a variety of settings.There was dancing in the classroom with desks and chairs,dancing on railway station platforms (站臺(tái)),even mom and dad dancing in the living room!
    As with other kinds of dance,there's a right way and wrong way to do it.But each dancer adds his or her own personal ideas on things.It's this that makes it so attractive to young people.
"Dancing is so relaxing,"says dancer Doerr Mary,15,a high school girl from Texas."You can move around just as you like."
    Every other week she flies to North Carolina just to train."I've been tap dancing since I was two and a half years old,"she says."I've found I just can't stop dancing.Even when I'm sitting down,I'm tapping.My mom sometimes gets angry,"she laughs.Mary says she finds tap dancing is a good way of expressing herself.It's like,she says,"talking to my feet."
    Mary says tap dancing has changed her life.She used to be shy,but not any more."Knowing that I can dance in front of such a large group of people is a real confidence-booster (信心增強(qiáng)劑)."

5.Hundreds of years ago,news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse.It took days,weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news.Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds.Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day,either by watching TV or reading newspapers.
Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century.Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers.How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print?Why do they print some stories and not others?What makes a good newspaper story?
Firstly,it is important to report news stories.TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers.Yet,newspapers give more about the same story.They may also look at the story in another way,or they may print completely different stories to those on TV.
Secondly,a news story has to be interesting and unusual.People don't want to read stories about everyday life.As a result,many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be"bad"news.For example,newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely; instead they print stories about plane accidents.
Another factor (因素) is also very important in many news stories.Many people are interested in news in foreign countries,but more prefer to read stories about people,places and events in their own country.So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British,F(xiàn)rench and American newspapers.

21.According to the passage,how do people learn about news stories in the world now?C
A.They carry news stories and tell others from place to place on foot or by horse.
B.They tell each other what they have seen with their eyes.
C.They watch TV or read newspapers.
D.They listen to the radio every day.
22.The difference between newspaper stories and TV news reports is thatA.
A.people can learn more about the same news story from a newspaper
B.people can read the news story more quickly in a newspaper
C.people can read news stories in other countries
D.people can read news stories about their own country
23.To make a good newspaper story,how many factors does the passage talk aboutB?
A.Two.B.Three.C.Five.D.Six.
24.According to the passage,which of the following can you most possibly watch on TV?C
A.You often play football with your friends after school.
B.Your teacher has got a cold.
C.A tiger in the city zoo has run out and hasn't been caught.
D.The bike in front of your house is lost.

9.Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse,according to the doctors.I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded (包圍) by shops selling unhealthy,fatty foods,such as fried chicken and ice cream,at low prices.This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves.If there were fewer of these restaurants,then probably children would buy less take-away food.
There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight.I agree with this,because good eating habits begin early in life,long before children start to visit fast food shops.If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food,or are always allowed to choose what they eat,they will go for sweet and salty foods every time,and this will carry on throughout their lives.
There is a third reason for this situation.Children these days take very little exercise.They do not walk to school.When they get home,they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games.Not only is this an unhealthy pastime(消遣),it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food.What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
The above are the main reasons for this problem,and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active,as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.

5.According to the text,what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food?B
A.Those who often take exercise.
B.Those who often watch television.
C.Those who often have meals at home.
D.Those who often walk to school.
6.The author thinks that children are becoming overweight becauseD
A.their parents often cook meals for them
B.they are too busy to go out and play
C.they can't choose what to eat
D.there are too many fast food shops around
7.The word"steering"underlined in the last sentence most probably meansB.
A.forcing       B.guiding        
C.driving       D.moving
8.The main purpose of the text is toC.
A.tell a story    
B.provide facts    
C.give advice     
D.compare opinions.

10.On my first job as sports editor for the Montpelier Leader Enterprise(MLE),I didn't get a lot  of fan mail,so my attention was caught by a  letter on my desk one morning.
    When I opened it,I read:"Sweet piece of  writing on the Tigers.Keep up the good work."It was signed by Don Wolfe,the  sports editor. Because I was a teenager(being paid the grand total of 15 cents a column inch),his words could not have been more inspiring,I kept the letter in my desk drawer until it got old.Whenever I doubted I had the right stuff to a writer,I would reread Don's note and walk on air again.
    Later,when  I got to know him,I learned that Don made a habit of  writing a quick,encouraging note to people in all walks of life,"When I make others feel good about themselves,"he told me,"I feel good,too."
    Over the years,I've tried to copy Don and write uplifting words.In a world too often cold and unresponsive,such notes bring warmth.
    Why are positive note writers in such short supply?My guess is that many who shy away from  the  practice are too self-conscious.They are afraid they will be misunderstood.Thus it may cause troubles and problems.And it sounds insincere on the phone,Also,writing takes time;it is far easier to pick up the phone.
    The drawback of phone calls,of course,is that they do not last.A  note attaches more importance to our well-wishing.It is a matter of record,and our words can be read more than once savored (回味) and treasured,and they bring strength and love to us.
    Today  I sent a warm letter to my old boss.I  don't know if it will make his day,but it made mine.As my friend Don Wolfe said."Making others feel good about themselves makes me feel  good too."

56.What does the underlined  part"walk  on air"in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
(No more than 5 words)
Become confident./Feel good about himself./Become uplifted.
57.According to the author,why aren't  people  willing  to  write  letters?
(No more than 15 words)
Because they may be self-conscious,and writing may cause misunderstanding,and also take time.
58.Why did the author write to his old boss?(No more than 15 words)
To encourage him,make him feel good and also the same to the writer himself.
59.What's  the text mainly about?(No more than 10 words)
The power of a letter from Don Wolfe.
60.Were you  encouraged by anybody?And how?(No more than 25 words)
Yes,I was.When I didn't do well in an exam,my best friend encouraged me to be confident and worked harder..
