Marie sat on the rubble (瓦砾). It had been twelve hours since the earthquake happened. There were cries from Rene now. The 12-month-old was still alive.
Marie continued to pull at the large blocks of rock. From time to time she asked for help from a passerby, but the people who stopped could see how hopeless it was and they continued their trip.

In the morning, a truck appeared at the end of the street. Four men in red walked towards her. Marie was not sure if she was just dreaming.
A woman came up and took Jean Paul to the truck. The men pulled on Marie to go with them. But she pointed at the rubble trying to explain that her younger son, Rene, was still alive under the house. The men looked at each other. Judging by the strong bad smell rising through the rubble, they thought that she was mad.
Then they heard something. It was the weak cry of a child. Immediately, the men began working. After an hour of lifting the large pieces, they were able to see Rene.
At last, Rene was rescued. He was quiet. His eyes were fixed on the sky. Marie touched his face and kissed his hands. Rene said in a low voice, “Mama.” Marie screamed and raised her hands to the sky.

It was Friday night and Francois was in his office, sad.
Jean Luc, who had been Francois’s friend for ten years, gave him a friendly call, “What are you doing tomorrow?”
“Nothing.”
“Let’s go fishing. We haven’t done it for ages.”
Francois was elated and accepted the invitation. After all, he needed a break from the boring work he had been dealing with. So the two men went to the Loire River the following day. The weather was fine and the sky was blue. It was perfect for fishing.
While waiting, Francois told Jean Luc about his situations at work. Francois said that his workmates had been uncooperative, and he found it difficult to get along well with them.

“Yeah. They’re just lazy; they never listen to me,” replied Francois while eating his bananas.
Jean Luc nodded. Then there was a moment’s silence.
A couple of minutes later, Francois put aside the bananas he’d been eating and shouted excitedly, “Great, a large fish!” He carefully placed the fish in his fish bin.
Jean Luc smiled. He asked Francois, “What did you use for your bait (鱼饵), by the way?”
“A worm,” Francois replied. “Why didn’t you use your bananas? You’re very fond of them, aren’t you?”
“Well, my friend, while I do love bananas, I’m not stupid enough to put them on as my bait. Do you think the fish are going to eat my bananas?”
“So it’s not going to work if you try to use bananas as your bait when fishing.”
“No.”
“Why not use the same common sense when fishing for people?”

Now, we answer a question from our listeners. Many want to know about the history of the number thirteen and why Americans consider this number to be bad luck.
It is not only Americans who consider this number to be unlucky, but also people around the world have the same idea about the number thirteen. Superstitions (迷信) are popular beliefs that are not based on reason or science. A person believes something brings good or bad luck.
This fear is so strong around the world that many tall buildings do not have a thirteenth floor. And many airports do not have a gate numbered thirteen. Even some cities and towns don’t have 13th Street.
Some experts say fears about this number come from ancient religious (宗教的) stories. One Norse myth (神话) is about twelve gods who were having a party. Loki, the god of evil, arrived at the dinner party uninvited. He became the thirteenth person at the table. Loki then helped cause the death of Balder, the god of joy.
In the Christian book, the Bible, Judas is the thirteenth guest at the dinner called the Last Supper. Judas is the man who betrays (背叛) Jesus, leading to his death.
Many people around the world also consider Fridays that fall on the thirteenth day of a month to be especially bad luck.
Many cultures have traditions of unlucky numbers other than 13. These beliefs, like our fear of 13, are mostly connected with ancient events. The fear of numbers is a very real fear for many people.
47. What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?
A. Why the number 13 is hardly seen in public places.
B. The fear of number 13 must be dealt with seriously.
C. The fear of number 13 is common in the world today.
D. The number 13 causes much trouble in people’s lives.
48. According to the Norse myth, the number 13 is unlucky because .
A. the thirteenth person killed the god of joy at the dinner table
B. the thirteenth guest brought bad luck to the others
C. the thirteenth guest helped cause the death of Jesus at supper
D. the thirteenth person caused the death of Balder at a dinner party
49. Which of the following does the writer agree with?
A. The fear of numbers happens only in western countries.
B. People should know the truth about unlucky numbers.
C. The fear of numbers may have come from ancient events.
D. It’s unnecessary to be afraid of unlucky numbers.
50. The passage is probably taken from a .
A. history book B. radio program C. science magazine D. travel guide

As young children, we all had dreams of being something that would give us the chance to be a hero. As time moved on we may have changed what we were going to become, but the dream itself lives on. Heroes become something we read about or watch on television. However, many are heroes you have never realized. We have many heroes to thank.
Your mom who carried you around for nine months and suffered a lot in your birth is a hero. She protects, guides and serves you without complaint (怨言). You may hurt her, but she loves you all the same. Dads are heroes, as well. Maybe he hasn’t faced a lot of enemies, but he is ready to do so if called upon. Though he comes home from work tired, he tries to play games with you, teaches you how to be good, and helps you study. Like your mom, he loves you, and his love is unconditional (无条件的).
The teachers devote their lives to helping prepare children for the future. Doctors fight to keep us healthy. Policemen and firemen put their lives on the line to keep us safe. And let’s not forget the soldiers who keep the wolf away from the door every day. True heroes are those who go through life never giving their heroism any thought.
At the end of the day when you sit back and recall the hero you wanted to be as a child. Remember many are moms, dads, and common people. It’s the love, and devotion (奉献) that they show to their family, friends and people. Never forget the look on your son or daughter’s face when they look in your eyes as you put them into bed. They are looking at their hero.
51. In the writer’s opinion, many heroes are those .
A. who often appear on TV
B. who are very common

52. The examples of the moms and dads show they are .

C. selfless, patient, hard and responsible
D. loyal, pleasant, painful and friendly
53. What does the underlined phrase “on the line” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. In danger.
B. On the front.

D. In order.
54. What is the good quality that the true heroes have?
A. They can afford to help the homeless people.

No one wants to feel like a failure, so to make one accept shortcomings can be difficult. This is especially true for some young children. They are so afraid of facing their shortcomings that they prefer to cover them with various excuses. As a result, this only makes things worse. In fact, accepting our shortcomings and having a positive attitude will help us to deal with our shortcomings in a healthy way. In other words, we should think of our shortcomings as a way to improve ourselves instead of something that stops us enjoying ourselves.
写作二
Almost everybody likes to watch movies. There are many types of movies. I enjoy seeing films which deal with issues in real life, such as love, relationships between people, and the most important, how to realize our dreams. The movie I like most is Forrest Gump. It is a story about a man who is unfortunately to be born with a low IQ and the muscle problem. People always think this kind of person can’t be successful in doing anything. But, instead, this man has achieved lots of success. This film makes me realize how lucky I am to be totally healthy and it also encourages me to work hard to achieve success. The moving story and the leading role’s great performance in the film are the main reasons why I like this film best.

Now, we answer a question from our listeners. Many want to know about the history of the number thirteen and why Americans consider this number to be bad luck.
It is not only Americans who consider this number to be unlucky, but also people around the world have the same idea about the number thirteen. Superstitions (迷信) are popular beliefs that are not based on reason or science. A person believes something brings good or bad luck.
This fear is so strong around the world that many tall buildings do not have a thirteenth floor. And many airports do not have a gate numbered thirteen. Even some cities and towns don’t have 13th Street.
Some experts say fears about this number come from ancient religious (宗教的) stories. One Norse myth (神话) is about twelve gods who were having a party. Loki, the god of evil, arrived at the dinner party uninvited. He became the thirteenth person at the table. Loki then helped cause the death of Balder, the god of joy.
In the Christian book, the Bible, Judas is the thirteenth guest at the dinner called the Last Supper. Judas is the man who betrays (背叛) Jesus, leading to his death.
Many people around the world also consider Fridays that fall on the thirteenth day of a month to be especially bad luck.
Many cultures have traditions of unlucky numbers other than 13. These beliefs, like our fear of 13, are mostly connected with ancient events. The fear of numbers is a very real fear for many people.

As young children, we all had dreams of being something that would give us the chance to be a hero. As time moved on we may have changed what we were going to become, but the dream itself lives on. Heroes become something we read about or watch on television. However, many are heroes you have never realized. We have many heroes to thank.
Your mom who carried you around for nine months and suffered a lot in your birth is a hero. She protects, guides and serves you without complaint (怨言). You may hurt her, but she loves you all the same. Dads are heroes, as well. Maybe he hasn’t faced a lot of enemies, but he is ready to do so if called upon. Though he comes home from work tired, he tries to play games with you, teaches you how to be good, and helps you study. Like your mom, he loves you, and his love is unconditional (无条件的).
The teachers devote their lives to helping prepare children for the future. Doctors fight to keep us healthy. Policemen and firemen put their lives on the line to keep us safe. And let’s not forget the soldiers who keep the wolf away from the door every day. True heroes are those who go through life never giving their heroism any thought.
At the end of the day when you sit back and recall the hero you wanted to be as a child. Remember many are moms, dads, and common people. It’s the love, and devotion (奉献) that they show to their family, friends and people. Never forget the look on your son or daughter’s face when they look in your eyes as you put them into bed. They are looking at their hero.

No one wants to feel like a failure, so to make one accept shortcomings can be difficult. This is especially true for some young children. They are so afraid of facing their shortcomings that they prefer to cover them with various excuses. As a result, this only makes things worse. In fact, accepting our shortcomings and having a positive attitude will help us to deal with our shortcomings in a healthy way. In other words, we should think of our shortcomings as a way to improve ourselves instead of something that stops us enjoying ourselves.

Almost everybody likes to watch movies. There are many types of movies. I enjoy seeing films which deal with issues in real life, such as love, relationships between people, and the most important, how to realize our dreams. The movie I like most is Forrest Gump. It is a story about a man who is unfortunately to be born with a low IQ and the muscle problem. People always think this kind of person can’t be successful in doing anything. But, instead, this man has achieved lots of success. This film makes me realize how lucky I am to be totally healthy and it also encourages me to work hard to achieve success. The moving story and the leading role’s great performance in the film are the main reasons why I like this film best.
