Terry Fox never thought he’d live a remarkable life.
He liked sports, but no one thought he was talented. During his first year in the university, he had a pain in his right knee, which was so bad that he couldn’t stand up. He went to the doctor for tests. They showed that he had cancer. He was going to lose his leg and be given an artificial one. Terry’s family and friends all gave him fantastic support. Terry said that he knew all those people really cared and helped him. He decided to face it with bravery.
One night Terry was looking through an article about Dick Traum, who also had an artificial leg and had run in the New York Marathon. “If he can do it,” thought Terry, “I can, too. In fact, I’ll run across Canada and raise money for cancer research. It will be a Marathon of Hope!”
For the next 16 months, Terry had special treatments for his cancer. And then he also began to run a little every day. Each day he ran a little farther. It is 5, 300 miles across Canada. Terry hoped to run thirty to forty miles a day so that it would take him six months. Most of all, he hoped to raise $1 million for cancer research.
Because Terry had an artificial leg, running wasn’t easy or straightforward. He had to move by jumping on one foot twice and then take a long step with his real leg. Although it looked awkward, he still kept on running. His action made people join him as he ran: children, football stars, wheelchair athletes and even his brother, Darrell. As Terry ran, people waved and cheered. So much money was donated that the volunteers used large garbage bags so everyone could give.
Then outside Thunder Bay, Ontario, Terry felt a sharp pain in his chest. The pain was from cancer; this time in his lungs. He had to abandon the Marathon after 3, 339 miles. He told the people before he left, “I won’t give up. I just hope people will continue to give money.” And they did. Just under $25 million was given.
Terry received numerous awards. At 22, he was the youngest Canadian to ever receive Canada’s highest award, the Companion of the Order of Canada.
24. What made Terry decide to run across Canada
A. His passion for Marathon.
B. A desire to live a normal life.
C. The support of his family and friends.
D. The exciting experience of Dick Traum.
25. People joined him when he ran mainly because
A. they were moved by the scene of Terry’s running
B. they serve a as volunteers in the marathon
C. they considered Terry as a great hero
D. they loved running very much
26. Why did he finally stop the marathon
A. He collected enough money for the donation.
B. His family and friends persuaded him to abandon it.
C. He got great pain in his body because of the cancer.
D. Running with the artificial leg wasn’t straightforward.

ON TUESDAY， the Shenzhen team of Blue Sky Rescue， a nonprofit civil rescue team， confirmed that two of its members had died trying to rescue 24 tourists who had got into difficulties.
According to the official news， it was on Monday that the rescue team received a telephone call from 24 travelers， who were trapped in a river valley， with a storm on the way and one of the female travelers being badly injured.
The team responded immediately. However， when they helped the travelers， two team member got trapped by the rising river water. The next day， they were confirmed dead.
The two heroes who gave their own lives to save others are being mourned by all
Who can rescue the rescuers？ The question aroused a heated discussion among people. Most of them think we would rather such "heroic deeds" were not required. However， that depends on people being more sensible. In the past several years， there have been many cases in which travelers， ignoring the signs saying certain areas are dangerous and off﹣limits， still have kept on "exploring" unpaved and unmarked regions and ended up needing to be rescued. By so doing， they put not only their own lives at risk but also the lives of those who go to their aid.
In this case， although the travelers may have been in an authorized area， they ignored the warnings of an
approaching typhoon. It was extremely reckless（鲁莽） of them to travel into the wild on such a day， as the local weather forecast had warned people against the upcoming typhoon. Two rescuers have lost their lives because of the thoughtlessness of others.
The law has already made it clear that if a traveler or group gets into difficulties when entering unauthorized regions， they must bear the costs of the rescue operations. The regulations need strengthening to deter travelers from putting their own lives and the lives of others at risk.
28. What happened to a woman traveler？
A. She lost her way.
B. She was trapped on the mountain.
C. She died in the storm.
D. She was seriously hurt.
29. What is the writer's attitude towards some tourists？
A. Critical.
B. Sympathetic.
C. Understanding.
D. Admiring.
30. What does the underlined word deter in the last paragraph mean？
A. protect.
B. keep.
C. excuse.
D. separate.
31. What can be a suitable title for this passage？
A. The Blue Sky Rescue.
B. Who can rescue the rescuers？
C. Who should bear the costs？
D. A deadly typhoon.
D
Palaces are known for their beauty and splendor, but they offer little protection against attacks. It is easy to defend a large building, but usually these buildings are not designed with the comfort of a king in mind. When it comes to structures that are both beautiful and defensive, the European castle is a big success
Castles were originally built in England by the Normans in 1066. They built towers and walls to secure the land they had taken. These castles provided the Normans with a quiet and safe place. They also served as bases of operation for attacks. In this way castles served both defensive and offensive roles. Besides, castles served as offices for governors. Those that were socially beneath the governor would come to report affairs and express their respect. They would address problems, handle business, feast, and enjoy festivities in castles. So castles served as social centers as well.
The first castles were made from earth and wood, and they were likely to suffer from attacks by fire. Then wooden castles were gradually replaced by stone, which greatly increased the strength of these towers and walls. However, attackers could throw flaming objects into castles through the windows or burn the wooden doors. This led to moving the windows and entrances off of the ground floor and up to the first floor to make them more difficult to access.
During the Middle Ages, attacks increased in regularity, so castle defenses were updated. Arrow-slits were added. They were small holes in the castle, which allowed defenders to fire without being hurt. Towers were built from which defenders could provide fire on both sides. The towers were connected to the castle by wooden bridges, so that if one tower fell, the rest of the castle was still easy to defend. A lot of rings of castle walls were constructed, so that even if attackers went past one wall, they would be caught on a killing ground between inner and outer walls. All of these increased the defense of castles.
The end of castles can be attributed to gunpowder. During the 15th century, artillery, a kind of large guns, became powerful enough to break through stone walls. This greatly made the role of castles less effective. Though castles no longer serve their original purposes, remaining castles receive millions of visitors each year who wish to experience the situations of ancient times.
32. What was the original function of castles according to the passage
A. They served as tourist attractions.
B. They were important social centers.
C. They marked religious ceremonies.
D. They were built for use in emergencies.
33. The reason why wooden castles were replaced by stone castles was that .
A. stone castles cost less money
B. stone castles offered better defense
C. wooden castles were uncomfortable
D. wooden castles took a long time to build
34. Which of the following showed an improvement in castle defenses
A. Castles were totally separated by stones.
B. Arrow-slits were made in large quantities.
C. Rings of walls were built to defend the towers.
D. Windows and entrances were moved to the higher floor.
35. What is the best title of the passage
A. Fancy Living: Learning about Castles
B. Normans: Bringing Castles to England
C. A History of Castles: The Rise and Fall of Castles
D. Defending Castles: Technologies Used to Defend Castles

67. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The homemade book bag was placed across my bed. It appeared to have taken over the entire room. I knew that my mom had spent all day happily sewing as she pictured me proudly walking from class to class with it over my shoulder. The next day I was to start seventh grade at a new school, in a new state, in the middle of the school year. I was nervous and excited.
That first day at school I heard the whispers.“Have you seen the new girl She’s from California. Did you see that big bag ”Then there were giggles (咯咯笑).
Because I started school in the middle of the year, all of the lockers had been assigned to other kids. There was no extra locker available for me, so I was forced to carry all my stuff around in the oversized bag. Wild stories flew back and forth about what I kept in the bag that never left my side. Drugs Some kids wondered. Clothes Is she homeless
There was nothing interesting in that bag, just my coat during cold weather, school books, papers and pens. Eventually, most students pretty much ignored me, but some of the kids made fun of my bag. People grabbed at it, pretended to treat it like a dog and tried to drop litter into it. My teachers didn’t seem to notice, probably because I
didn’t ever complain or ask for help. As the year progressed, I started to hate that bag. I blamed all my problems on it. I felt helpless, alone and homesick for California and my old friends.
One day toward the end of the school year, my math teacher assigned each student a partner to work with on word problems. I was told to work with Debbie, a popular girl who was in several of my classes. She smiled and waved me over toward her desk, so I grabbed my bag and quietly moved toward her. As I sat down, I realized that I had never spoken to her before.
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
“So, what’s in the bag " Debbie asked loudly with a smile.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Then Debbie started to laugh, not at me, but at the situation.

【答案】 "So, what is in the bag " Debbie asked loudly with a smile. Her question was the last straw to break me down. Face blushing red, I dumped the bag on the table and grumbled in a choking voice, "Nothing, just my coat, books, papers and pens. Why you all tease my bag which brought me a whole year of bad luck and loneliness " No longer able to contain my emotion, I buried my head in my arm and let tears of grievance wash over my face.
Then Debbie started to laugh, not at me, but at the situation. Debbie told me every stitch of the bag was made of my mother's selfless love. When being laughed at, I should let them. Meanwhile, I should open myself up and make friends proactively so that I could better fit in.Debbie's gentle words, like a shining torch, dispelled all the darkness in my life. Through my misty eyes, I knew I would take her advice and embrace my new life with my bag.
