Five years ago, a truly unforgettable event took place. My wife and I were celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary(纪念日) that year. To our delight, it was a splendid event, lovingly hosted by our sons just for us. Our dear, old friends gave us a wonderful surprise with their thoughtful gifts and heartfelt congratulations. Our gift to each other was a driving trip out west. We drove from Ontario into Alberta, then southward into Glacier National Park in Montana, and continued to Yellowstone National Park.
It was a cold spring day, and the Beartooth Highway had opened for the season just days before. Alongside the road, there was still a great amount of snow there. The scenery was so impressive that we made lots of stops to record memories with my camera. At the highest point of the highway, I stopped at a lookout to catch the amazing views, with my wife in the centre of my camera lens.
There were not many cars on the road. Sometimes, cars with energetic young tourists passed by. And then we heard a motorcycle in the distance. The driver of the motorcycle, who wore dirty clothes, parked behind our cars. Approaching us, he spoke only a simple command, “Give me your camera and get over there with your wife.” I must admit I felt nervous that we might be robbed where we just created some beautiful memories. Surprisingly, he just took a picture of us, handed back my camera and rode off before we could offer our thanks. Unexpectedly, the photo he took is now one of the most valuable and prized of our trip.
In that unexpected encounter, I absorbed a lesson in the most unlikely of places. We should never judge a man by his appearance. To the motorcyclist who may one day read this story and remember us: we wish to extend our deepest appreciation and a heartfelt“Thank you” for the kindness you showed us that day.

Can you think of a day without music We can hear music everywhere: in the streets and at home, over the radio and on TV, in the shops and in the parks. People all over the world are fond of music. They listen to music, they dance to music, and they learn to play musical instruments.
Music isn't only a combination of pleasant sounds. It is an art which reflects life. There are a lot of different kinds of music. Some of them appeared long ago, and some are modern. Folk music appeared long ago, but it is still alive. Folk songs are very pleasant to listen to. Classical music is often associated with the music of the past. Rap is a modern musical style where the singer speaks or shouts the words in time to music with a steady beat.
Great Britain has produced more popular music stars than any other country. British groups often set new trends in music. New styles, groups and singers continue to appear. Many of the new bands have been able to use changes in technology to develop their music such as computerised drum machines, synthesisers and other electronic instruments.
Tastes differ. So people's musical interests range from pop and rock music to classical music and opera. My favourite style of music is pop music, because it is full of energy. When I listen to pop music it makes me remember happy times and forget the problems of everyday life. I also enjoy listening to classical music. The music I hate is heavy metal. I find it noisy. When I listen to this style of music it presents to my mind pictures of dark days. My mother and father agree with my tastes in music. Though they prefer to listen to classical, they think that modern music is not too bad.
Music appeals to our hearts. It comforts our souls and enriches(充实) our minds. Music is beauty in sounds; it is our magic source of inspiration.
61. What is the first paragraph mainly about
A. Several types of music. B. Different musical tastes.
C. The development of musical styles.D. The importance of music in our lives.
62. How is the second paragraph developed
A. By describing courses. B. By analysing reasons.
C. By giving examples. D. By making comparisons.
63. Which of the following is TRUE about the music in Great Britain
A. It has produced many popular music stars in the world.
B. It fails to apply new technology in the performances.
C. Many new bands insist on traditional instruments.
D. British groups fall behind the new trends now.
64. Why does the author like pop music
A. It is played with electronic instruments.B. It is characterised by a steady beat.
C. It is loud and strong. D. It sounds energetic.
65. What is the author's parents' attitude towards his musical taste
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Dissatisfied. D. Unconcerned.
D
“Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity, ” said the American talk show host Oprah Winfrey. I' ve never watched her show, but when a self-made billionaire gives life advice it's probably worth listening to.
Her point is that blind luck is very rare. You may have to be lucky to find a good job these days but that does not mean you should sit at home waiting for the opportunity to come to you. If you' re a Chinese, you may already be familiar with the tale of a farmer waiting by a tree stump for a rabbit to run out and break its neck.
A book by the UK psychologist Richard Wiseman, called The Luck Factor, argues we can all make ourselves luckier. It's most about going to a temple to burn some incense in hopes that the gods will give you good fortune, but practical advice you can follow each day.
Wiseman conducted an experiment as part of his studies. First he divided volunteers into two groups: those who said they were lucky in life and those who said they were not. He gave everyone a newspaper and asked them to look through it to count how many photographs it had inside. On average, the unlucky people took about two minutes to count the photographs while the lucky people took just seconds. Why On the second page of the newspaper, a command, “Stop counting. There are 43 photographs in this newspaper,” was written in big letters. The unlucky people mostly did not spot the message.
It's easy to compare this situation to a young person looking for jobs in a local paper. They might search so hard for one type of position that they miss an even better opportunity. People who are“lucky”, in fact, keep an open mind and don't go through the same routine every day.
In a word, try to turn bad luck into good. Even if you do fall down and break a leg, the time spent at home can be used wisely to study English.
66. Which of the followings most agrees with the writer's point
A. Success is for those who are prepared. B. Rome was not built in a day.
C. All is not gold that shines. D. A good heart defeats ill fortune.
67. What do you know about Oprah Winfrey
A. She became famous through her family background.
B. She was very lucky and seldom suffered difficulties in her life.
C. She is a British talk show host.
D. She became successful by her own effort.
68. The writer quoted the Chinese tale of a farmer in order to show .
A. man can defeat mature B. luck is your own hand
C. bad luck can turn into good D. never waiting for the chance to come
69. From the experiment Wiseman drew the conclusion that
A. lucky people are quick-minded B. unlucky people are slow to read
C. lucky people often have an open mind D. unlucky people are more creative
70. The underlined word“spot” is the closest in meaning to“ ”.
A. discover B. mark C. make D. receive

Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class who was picked for any sports team. “Football, tennis, basketball anything with a round ball, I was useless,” he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one who was always made fun of in school PE classes in Devonshire, England.
It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he won his first long-distance race.
The following year he came across John Ridgway. He was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’ s School of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about Ridgway’ s adventures. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could read about the North Pole explorers and adventures, and then decided this would be his future.
In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier, Saunders started his first long-distance adventure towards the North Pole. It took him a lot of hard work. He experienced low temperatures, ran into a white bear and challenged his spirit and body, pulling his sled up and over rocky ice.
Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he's skied more of the North Pole by himself than any other British man. His old playmates would not believe the change. Next October, Saunders, 27, will head south from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, a 2900-kilometer journey that has never been completed on skis.

Dear Chris,
How is everything going these days How delighted I am to receive your e-mail saying that you' ve determined to get rid of your addiction to video games.
When it comes to the bad habit I' ve been longing to break, it is procrastination— always putting off the schedule and failing to finish it on time. As time goes by, the work to be done piles up. Confronted with too much delayed work, I often feel stressed and frustrated. To make matters worse, such a total mess is my life that I keep losing my temper with others. Moreover, even though I manage to meet the deadline, what
I' ve accomplished in haste is far from satisfaction. Therefore, in order to organize my time in a proper way,I plan to make a list of the things I need to do and prioritize the tasks.
I firmly believe, with resolution and action, success is right ahead! Let's better ourselves together!
Yours,
Li Jin
