I have dreamed of taking a trip to Hawaii since I graduated but the best thing always needs waiting. I took a trip with my friends to Haleakala National Park which lies in Hawaii.
When we arrived at Haleakala National Park we were suggested to watch the early morning sunrise. I was lost in the sightseeing that afternoon so I could hardly wait to meet the sunrise. In the next morning we all jumped out of the bed very early at 3 o’clock and walked to the rocks by the seaside. In the first half an hour we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin so we waited and waited. However another half an hour later I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the chilly darkness and I felt that I was frozen to death. But my friends were still extremely cheerful.
Nearly another one hour later “Amazing!” a word burst out from Judy and we all shouted to welcome the light orange greatness which is really unbelievable. Until today I dare say that it is the most impressive（印象深刻的）sunrise in my life. However waiting in the morning darkness is also the one I can not wipe out forever.
Waiting sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strong-willed determination but what about the result after that It might turn out to be pleasingly unbelievable and satisfied. So it is really worthwhile to wait for the best.
24．When did they see the first light of the sunrise
A．About 3 o’clock. B．About 4 o’clock.
C．Nearly 5 o’clock. D．Nearly 6 o’clock.
25．What’s the meaning of the underlined word “chilly” in paragraph two
A．Total. B．Cold.
C．Terrible. D．Interesting.
26．What’s the author’s attitude towards waiting for the sunrise
A．Excited all the time. B．Afraid all the time.
C．Firstly excited then afraid. D．Firstly excited then impatient.
27．What does the author want to tell us by this passage
A．Sometimes it is worthwhile to wait for the best.
B．Hawaii is a good place to enjoy the sunrise.
C．I enjoyed the most flaming sunrise in my life.
D．My friends and I took a trip to Hawaii.

My First Marathon（马拉松）
A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.
I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was ＂not athletic＂.
The idea that I was ＂not athletic＂ stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!
The night before my marathon, I dreamed that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.
Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!
At mile 3, I passed a sign: ＂GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!＂
By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.
By mile 21, I was starving!
As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.
I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.
Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a ＂marathon winner＂.
28．A month before the marathon, the author ____________.
A．was well trained B．felt scared
C．made up his mind to run D．lost hope
29．Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year
A．To acknowledge the support of his teacher.
B．To amuse the readers with a funny story.
C．To show he was not talented in sports.
D．To share a precious memory.
30．How was the author’s first marathon
A．He made it. B．He quit halfway.
C．He got the first prize. D．He walked to the end.
31．What does the story mainly tell us
A．A man owes his success to his family support.
B．A winner is one with a great effort of will.
C．Failure is the mother of success.
D．One is never too old to learn.

One of the most famous buildings in the United States is Carnegie Hall, the home of classical and popular music concerts in New York. Carnegie Hall is known not just for its beauty and history, but also for its amazing sound. Carnegie Hall is named after Andrew Carnegie, who paid for its construction. Construction of Carnegie Hall began in 1890 and the official opening night was on May 5th, 1891.
The hall was owned by the Carnegie family until 1924 when it was sold to Robert E Simon. The building became very old and in 1960, the new owner made plans to destroy it and build an office block. Isaac Stem led a group of people who fought to save Carnegie Hall and finally, the city of New York bought it for $5 million. It was then fixed up between 1983 and 1995.
Advertisements and stories in newspapers about how Carnegie Hall needed help to recover its history led people to send in old concert programs and information from all over the world. Over 12,000 concert programs were received and with these it was possible to make a proper record of Carnegie Hall’s concert history.
Carnegie Hall is actually made up of several different halls, but the Main Hall, now called the Isaac Stem Auditorium, is the most famous. The hall itself can hold an audience of 2,804 in five levels of seating.
Because the best and most famous musicians of all time have played at Carnegie Hall, it is the dream of most musicians who want to be great to play there. This has led to a very old joke which is now part of Carnegie Hall’s history. Question: “How do I get to Carnegie Hall ” Answer: “Practice, practice, practice.”
32．It can be inferred that people wanted to save Carnegie Hall mainly because________.
A．it made a lot of money
B．it was worth visiting
C．many important concerts were held in it
D．it made some players become famous
33．How did Carnegie Hall recover its concert history
A．Through newspaper reports.
B．Through old concert programs.
C．Through old photographs.
D．Through old jokes.
34．Why is the Carnegie Hall joke funny
A．Because you expect the answer to be directions but not advice.
B．Because Carnegie Hall is a place where musicians practice a lot.
C．Because it is difficult to find your way to Carnegie Hall.
D．Because you don’t expect the answer to repeat the same word three times.
35．Which of the following would be the best title for the text
A．The history of Carnegie Hall
B．The best musician having played in Carnegie Hall
C．A joke about Carnegie Hall
D．The dream of most musicians

Dear Peter,
I am Li Hua, chairman of the Student Union of our school. It’s my honor to be your guide next weekend. The arrangements for the trip are as follows:
We will take a wonderful trip to the suburbs, where there is a famous scenic spot. Since you are new here, you will be amazed at the beautiful scenery and surroundings there. In terms of the meeting time, eight o’clock on next Saturday morning will be fine. And at that time, I will be waiting for you at the school gate and we will take a taxi to go there. You don’t have to take too many things with you, just a bottle of water, some pieces of bread or other kinds of food, and a cap or a pair of sunglasses. Also, wearing a pair of sports shoes would be better. Hopefully, we will be back before seven in the afternoon.
I am looking forward to seeing you. I believe we will have a good time.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
