一、阅读理解
I came to study in t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he United States a year ago .Yet I did not know the real American society until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court.
After the accident my ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was astonished. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I’d have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him.
But every day I went ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time. The final examination report consisted of ten lines, and it cost me $215.
My lawyer was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything. He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770.
Now I had to act as ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time…and I left without getting a cent.

In the fall of 19 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )85, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty-one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.
My grandma, an am ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )azing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.
Then I got married wit ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic---and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.
You can imagi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ne how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo — a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full-time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.
The hardest ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.
In 2007, I graduate ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!
I am not special, j ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ust single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.
6．When the author ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) went to Howard University, her dream was to be_________.
A. a writer B. a doctor
C. a judge D. a journalist
7．Why did the author quit school in her second year of college
A. Her grandma asked her to withdraw from college.
B. She fell in love and got married.
C. She had so many c ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hildren to support that she was too busy to continue her college.
D. She decided to look after her grandma.
8．What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph
A. Failure is the mother of success.
B. Little by little, one goes far.
C. Every coin has two sides.
D. Well begun, half done.
9．Which of the following can best describe the author
A. Caring and determined. B. Honest and responsible.
C. Ambitious and sensitive. D. Innocent and single-minded.
Running like the w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ind, roaring (咆哮) like thunder, tigers have long been feared and respected as a king of the animal world. But last week a report said that there are no more than 30 wild tigers left in south China.
This was the conclu ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )sion of a team of scientists from China's State Forestry Administration and the World Nature Fund.
The South China ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) tiger, also known as the Chinese tiger, is native to southern China. In the 1950's, there were over 4000 tigers found in mountain forests in the country. But due to the destruction of their natural habitat and uncontrolled hunting, it has been pushed on to the list of the world's top ten most endangered species.
Sixty six of the bi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )g cats can be found in the cages of a dozen zoos around China. But they are nothing like their wild cousins. They have lost their natural skills such as hunting and killing. If they were set free they could not look after themselves.
“Breeding has damaged ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the quality of the species”, said Pei Enle, deputy director of the Shanghai Zoo.
To reintroduce ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the species into the wild, the country started a programme to send five to ten young tigers to South Africa. Four of them have already arrived. Progress has been made as two elder tigers have recovered some of their instincts(本能) and can hunt wild animals by themselves at the African base.
“South Africans are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) very experienced in reintroducing big animals to the wild. The country has very good natural conditions for the tigers to learn in”, said Lu Jun, office director of the National Wildlife Research and Development Center. “We tried in Fujian Province, but it was not successful as there was not a complete eco chain(生物链) and there was a lack of space.”
The tigers should r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eturn to China in 2007 when the reservations in Fujian are ready.
10．What is the main ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )reason for the South China tiger becoming one of the world's top ten most endangered species
A. Because it has lost its natural instincts.
B. Because there is not a complete eco chain.
C. Because there is no space for it.
D .Because uncontrolle ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d hunting has destroyed its natural living conditions.
11．How is the prog ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ramme of sending several tigers to South Africa getting on
A. Its effect still remains to be seen.
B. Two tigers can already compete with their wild cousins.
C. Some of the tige ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rs are already on the road to recovering their natural skills.
D. The tigers should ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) be able to recover their instincts completely by 2007.
12．By saying “but ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) they are nothing like their wild cousins”, the writer means that________.
A. they are no longer feared by other wild animals
B. they don't know how to hunt or kill
C. a complete change has resulted in the species because of breeding
D. to reintroduce them into the wild has become an urgent task
13．What is the purpose of sending young tigers to South Africa
A. To help the tigers recover their ability to live in the wild.
B. To provide them with a better environment.
C. To get the tigers to go on a tour.
D. To find a complete eco chain for them.
I was diagnosed wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )th cancer in September 2005, after discovering a small lump in my neck. All seemed well after the lump had been removed. However, a follow-up blood test revealed that the cancer had spread. I underwent chemotherapy(化疗), and within four months I lost nearly 20kg, all my hair and energy.
I got a tentative a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ll-clear(解除警报)two days after my 28 the birthday. To me, it signaled a new start, and I couldn’t wait to get on with my life. The doctors told me that it would be months before I could get back to my old activity levels, but I just didn’t want to accept this. I wanted to be normal again –now, not in six months.
So I started b ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y simply walking around Edinburgh. Each day I would get home four or five hours later feeling like I had run a marathon. After less than six weeks, I half-ran, half-crawled up Arthur’s Seat in Edinburgh. I spent the next couple of days in bed recovering, but soon after that I was back in the gym.
My diet had n ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ever been great before I fell ill --- I was a real vegetable-phobe(厌恶蔬菜的人)， and to some extent I still am. Nowadays, though, I make myself eat more natural foods. I have discovered that a good blender and a slow-cooker help make foods I don’t like bearable.
When one suffers a ph ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ysical setback, emotional support from others is important. Still, there are things only you can do for yourself; at the end of the day, you are the one going through it. I went back to work, and now have started a company to take my passion for health and fitness forward. I believe that what holds most people back is a poor mental attitude and lack of determination. You can achieve whatever you want; you just have to work hard at it.
14．What do we learn about the author from the passage
A. He was diagnosed with cancer after a regular blood test.
B. He got back in the gym two days after his 28th birthday.
C. His doctors asked h ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )im not to do any kind of exercise for six months.
D. He wanted to recover from his illness as soon as possible.
15． How did the author change his diet
A. He started eating more natural foods.
B. He began to like eating vegetables.
C. He learned to cook by himself.
D. He liked eating the foods he hadn’t liked before.
16． Based on the last paragraph, the author thinks that_________.
A. the help and support of others are useless to sick people
B. people can’t be mentally unprepared to decide things
C. people should do everything by themselves
D. hard-working people get what they want
