I’m Rachel Martin. I’ve 36 skateboarding (滑板运动) for 18 months, and I was the youngest person in a street skateboarding competition last year. I 37 my free time at my town’s new skatepark — I don’t often stay at home and watch TV.
Before the new skatepark was 38 this year, the nearest skatepark was in a town 10km away. Some of my older friends went there, but my mum wouldn’t let me 39 because I wasn’t old enough. The only place to skate was on the pavement (人行道), but sometimes I fell and hurt my arm. Also, there were many cars on the street 40 I stopped. Now, though, I can use the new skatepark. And it has huge lights, so you can use it 41 at night.
We have a skatepark at our school now too. It keeps us fit! But the school skatepark is 42 for smaller children like my little brother because some children ride their BMX bikes there. I guess they 43 it because the skatepark in town is busy.
I’ve always found schoolwork easy, but skateboarding is hard! My favourite thing is jumping over boxes. Doing things like that really needs your full attention, but it’s 44 I really enjoy. My older sister works as a skateboard coach, so one day I’d like to be like her. It’s not 45 for girls to skate around here, so although I love it, it’s a bit lonely being the only girl. I’d like more girls to join in!

Tim Linhart is an American. He worked as an ice sculptor (雕刻家) for many years. In the late 1990s, he went to Sweden to create some sculptures for an ice hotel. While there, he met his future wife (妻子) and decided to stay.
In 1998, Tim began sculpting a violin from ice. It was so large that he had to use strings (弦) from a piano. He tried playing the violin when it was finished, and was so excited by the beautiful sound it made. He ran to tell his friends. They all thought he was crazy!
However, Tim knew that he had to create more. He uses white ice which is a mixture of snow and water. It takes him about five to six days to sculpt something like a violin.
It was not long before Tim had made enough different instruments to create his own orchestra (管弦乐队). It includes violins, guitars, drums, etc. To make sure the instruments do not melt (融化), the orchestra has to perform (表演) in a cold environment. Many members of the orchestra wear gloves while they are playing. Some of them do not, as it is hard to play an instrument like the violin with gloves on!
During one of the orchestra’s first concerts, they found that the listeners increased room temperature. Some instruments began to melt. The concert was not a success. Tim decided to build his own concert hall. The temperature there is able to remain at -5℃ throughout the concert.
Tim’s orchestra now performs every year, not only in Sweden but also in the US and Italy.
( ) 56. Why did Tim go to Sweden in the late 1990s
A. To visit his friends.
B. To work for a hotel.

D. To have a holiday

A. for his friend

( ) 58. What is special about Tim’s orchestra
A. It only performs in winter.
B. It only performs in Sweden.
C. All the instruments are made by Tim.
D. All the performers need to wear gloves.
( ) 59. If one wants to know why Tim built his own concert hall, he can find the answer in _______.
A. Paragraph 2 B. Paragraph 3 C. Paragraph 4 D. Paragraph 5
( ) 60. The writer wrote the passage mainly to _______.

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成句子。
Vincent van Gogh was born on 30th March 1853 in a small village in the Netherlands. People who knew him as a child remembered him as silent, serious and thoughtful. Van Gogh stopped going to school around age 15 and, soon after, began working as an art dealer. The job made him work in different European countries. After some time, Van Gogh felt he didn’t like selling art, so he became a preacher (牧师) like his father. While preaching, he worked to help the poor and their families.
Around 1880, Van Gogh gave up preaching, and decided to become an artist. Van Gogh spent only ten years of his life being a full-time artist, but he produced over 2,000 works of art. Some of his paintings are now among the world’s most popular and expensive works of art.
Van Gogh’s life as an artist was not easy. He was often depressed (抑郁的), and unhappy with his art. Today, his paintings sell for millions of dollars but when he was an artist, he could not make enough money. He lived in poor conditions and often had to borrow (借) money from his brother for food and art supplies (美术用品). To make things worse, Van Gogh failed at many of his personal relationships (关系) and spent much of his time alone. He ended his life at age 37.
Vincent van Gogh’s life is a very sad story. During the ten hard years as an artist, he had only sold one painting. In the end, however, it was Van Gogh’s ability to show his sadness through his art that made him world-famous.
71. As people who knew Van Gogh said, he was _______________ as a child.
72. Van Gogh decided to become a(n) _______________ around 1880.

What I get from sports
I love sports. I practise carefully in each PE class. After school, I usually run for about half an hour. At weekends I often play basketball with my friends. I think doing sports can not only help me keep healthy and strong but also keep me happy. What’s more, it helps me make more friends. In my opinion, every student should be encouraged to do sports every day. But remember not to do too much exercise at one time and don’t forget to do some warm-up exercises first.
