阅读理解 （40分）
A
All my life, it seems, folks have been telling me what I can’t do．In school, my learning disability kept me from picking up things as quickly as the other students．On the playground, I was the biggest, slowest kid．No one thought I could ever be an athlete--- except my mom and dad, who were always telling me that with prayer and persistence I could find the strength to do anything.
Maybe that’s why I was always pushing myself, I found a sport where my 286 pounds were an asset, wrestling, and I took it all the way to the Sydney Olympics in 2000．Naturally I was the underdog, but I made it to the final round and faced the best in the world, the legendary Russian Alexander Karelin, undefeated in 14 years of competition, I had an older brother, Ronald, who died when I was eight．I’d win this medal for him．“Rulon doesn’t stand a chance,” the commentator (解说员) said．“He might as well go home before he gets hurt.” I stood alone on the mat and looked Karelin in the eye．You can do it! I shouted at myself silently．And I did．I beat him．I came back to my parents’ farm in Afton, Wyoming, with a gold medal and the champion’s belt.
I’d reached the pinnacle, right? But no, I kept looking for new challenges, for other ways to show the world, “Look what I can do!” Afton, in Star Valley, was just the place for it．
56．From the text we can know that ______.
A．In school, Rulon learned as quickly as the other students
B．Rulon learned slowly in school
C．Rulon was a good athlete when he was a student
D．People always encourage Rulon to do all kinds of things
57．Which of the following is true?
A．Rulon was encouraged by his friends.
B．Rulon thought he was the best athlete at the Sydney Olympics.
C．The commentator thought Rulon would be defeated easily by Karelin.
D．Rulon won the gold medal easily.
58．The word “pinnacle” in paragraph 3 means ______ in this passage.
A．the last place B．the highest point in one’s life
C．one’s destination D．mountain top
B
Email has brought the art of letter writing back to life, but some experts think the resulting spread of bad English does more harm than good.
Email is a form of communication that is changing, for the worse, the way we write and use language, say some communication researchers．It is also changing the way we interact(交流) and build relationship．These are a few of the recently recognized features of email, say experts, which should cause individuals and organizations to rethink the way they use email.
“Email has increased the spread of careless writing habits,” says Naomi Baron, a professor of linguistics(语言学) at an American university．She says the poor spelling, grammar, punctuation and sentence structure of emails reflect(反映) a growing unconcern about the way we write.
Baron argues that we shouldn’t forgive and forget the poor writing often shown in email．“The more we use email and its tasteless writing, the more it becomes the normal way of writing,” the professor says.
Others say that despite its poor writing, email has finished what several generations of English teachers couldn’t: it has made writing fashionable again.
“Email is a critical new communication technology.” says Ian Lancashire, a professor of English at Toronto University．“It fills the gap between spoken language and the formal methods of writing that existed before email．It is the purest form of written speech.”
Lancashire says email has the mysterious ability to get people who are usually scared by writing to get their thoughts flowing easily onto a blank screen．He says this is because of email’s close similarity to speech．YC “It’s like a circle of four or five people around a campfire,” he says.
Still, he accepts that this new-found freedom to express themselves often gets people into trouble．Emails sent in a day almost exceed(超过) the number of letters mailed in a year．But more people are recognizing the content of a typical email message is not often exact.
59．From what Baron says in the third paragraph we can see that ________.
A．careless people use email more than careful people
B．email requires people to change their native language
C．professors in universities don’t need to use email
D．people communicating by email make all kinds of mistakes
60．What does the underlined word “it” (in Paragraph 4) refer to?
A．The poor writing． B．Email．
C．The good writing． D．A new communication technology.
61．In Lancashire’s opinion, email is a wonderful technology because _______.
A．it can be useful all over the world B．it is the fastest way to communicate
C．we can express ourselves in a free way D．we can save a lot of paper
62．This passage mainly shows us that ______.
A．people should stop using email to communicate
B．experts hold different opinions about email writing
C．Americans only use email to communicate
D．email makes people lose interest in English
63．Which of the following is NOT true about email?
A．It is changing the way of communication．
B．It is used more than letters in the US.
C．It helps us write better．
D．It causes us to write more.
C
Life is difficult．
It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult．Most do not fully see this truth．Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy．It seems to them that their difficulties represent(代表) a special kind of suffering specially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation．What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one．Problems, depending on their nature, cause in us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fear．These are uncomfortable feelings, often as any kind of physical pain．And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy．Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning．Problems are the serious test that tells success from failure．When we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve．It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn．As Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt, instruct（有意义）.” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.
64．From the passage, it can be inferred that ____________.
A．everybody has problems
B．we become stronger by facing and solving the problems of life
C．life is difficult because our problems bring us pain
D．people like to complain about their problems
65．The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to _________.
A．save space B．persuade readers
C．make readers laugh D．get readers’ attention
66．According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to ______.
A．encourage them to learn B．teach them to fear the pain of solving problems
C．help them learn to deal with pain D．teach them how to respect for problems
67．The saying from Benjamin Franklin “Those things that hurt, instruct.” suggests that _______.
A．we do not learn from experience B．we do not learn when we are in pain
C．pain teaches us important lessons D．pain cannot be avoided

From the very beginning, Martin felt that he was bound up with（与……紧紧地在一起）his lovely little patient．One day, following some tests, Betty gave the doctor a big hug.
　　A few months later the doctor removed not only the tumour（肿瘤）, but also the entire lower left side of Betty’s gum（牙龈）and jawbone．Because Betty was so young, Martin was hopeful that her jawbone might regenerate.
　　Within three months, Betty’s tumour grew as large as an orange, changing the natural appearance of the left side of her small, delicate（ = thin; not strong）face．Soon she couldn’t even close her mouth, and as her eating problems worsened, Betty’s weight dropped from 20 kilos to 15．Martin knew from experience that it might invade the brain.
　　The only other possibility was thorough radiation therapy (放射疗法)．Night after night, Betty's father gave her injection, but the tumour remained as big as ever．Then one evening．Morgan noticed that the tumour had begun to change．It was actually becoming smaller!

Recently, we have had a discussion in out class about whether parents are our best teachers．Some students agree to the point because they think parents help to point out their mistakes in their lives．They teach them a lot about how to live a meaningful life．What's more, parents’ love helps to teach them how to love others．So parents are their most important teachers.
However, not all of us hold the same views．Some think that their parents give them too much love, and they are too eager to pass on their values and interests to them．Moreover, their parents sometimes expect too much of them, which makes them feel their goals too difficult to reach.
In my opinion, parents are our important teachers, but parents should also try to understand their children more and limit the generation gap.
