Two sailors ran into each other in a pub. Over a few beers, one of the men told the other about his last 36 “After a month at sea,” he said, “we 37 our masts(桅杆) had been eaten through by termites(白蚁)! Almost nothing left of them.”
“That’s terrible,” said the second sailor.
“That’s what I thought at first too,” the first sailor said, “but it turned out to be good luck. As soon as we took the sails down to fix the masts, we were h it by a 38 wind so suddenly and so hard, it would 39 have blown us over if our sails were up at the time.”
“How lucky!”
“That’s exactly 40 what I thought at the time too. But because our sails were down, we couldn’t 41, and because of the wind, we were blown onto a reef. The hole in the ship was too big to fix. We were stranded(搁浅).”
“That is bad luck indeed.”
“That’s what I thought, too, when it first 42 . But we all made it to the 43 alive and had plenty to eat. But now here’s the real kicker: While we were on the island 44 about our terrible fate, we discovered a buried 45 !”

49 ,you can simply 50 whatever happens is “good”. If you think an event is good, it’s easy to have a 51 attitude. And your attitude affects your 52 , it affects the 53 people treat you and how you treat others, and it affects your energy level. And those can help 54 the way for things to turn out well. A good attitude is a good thing. And a bad attitude does you no good 55 .

Sandra Cisneros was born in Chicago in 1954 to a Mexican American family. As the only girl in a family of seven children, she often felt like she had “seven fathers,” because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated(躲避) into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate.
In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because he thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the university’s Writers’ Workshop, however, she felt lonely----a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her “Creative voice.”
“It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didn’t think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life, but it had everything to do with it! That’s when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldn’t write about.”
Cisneros published her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The book tells about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish-sp eaking area in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school through graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a children’s book, and a short-story collection.
59. Which of the following is TRUE about Cisneros in her childhood
A. She had seven brothers. B. She felt herself a nobody.
C. She was too shy to go to school. D. She did not have any good teachers.
60. The graduate program gave Cisneros a chance to _____.
A. work for a school magazine B. run away from her family
C. make a lot of friends D. develop her writing style
61. According to Cisneros, what played the decisive role in her success
A. Her early years in college. B. Her training in the Workshop.
C. Her feeling of being different. D. Her childhood experience.
62. What do we learn about The House on Mango Street
A. It is quite popular among students. B. It is the only book ever written by Cisneros.
C. It wasn’t success as it was written in Spanish.
D. It won an award when Cisneros was twenty-nine.
C
Michael Fish may soon be replaced as a weather forecaster by something truly fishier---the shark(鲨鱼).
Research by a British biology student suggests that sharks could be used to predict storms.
Lauren Smith, 24, is close to completing her study on shark’s ability to sense pressure.If her studies prove the theory, scientists may be able to monitor the behavior of sharks to predict bad weather.
Miss Smith had previously studied the behaviour of lemon sharks in the Bahamas.
She then used their close relatives, lesser spotted dogfish, for further research at Aberdeen University.Her work---thought to be the first of its kind to test the pressure theory ---- resulted from the observation that juvenile blacktip sharks off Florida moved into deeper water ahead of a violent storm in 2001.
Miss Smith said: “I’ve always been crazy about traveling and diving and this led me to an interest in sharks.”
“I was delighted to have been able to research in the area for my degree. I know there’s so much more we need to understand ---- but it certainly opens the way to more research.”
It has been discovered that a shark senses pressure using hair cells in its balance system.
At the Bimini Shark Lab in the Bahamas, Miss Smith fixed hi-tech sensors to sharks to record pressure and temperature, while also tracking them using GPS (Global Positioning System) technology.
In Aberdeen, she was able to study the effects of tidal(潮汐的) and temperature changes on dogfish----none of which were harmed. She also used a special lab which can mimic(模拟) oceanic pressure changes caused by weather fronts.
She is due to compl ete her study and graduate later this year. She says she will be looking for a job which will give her the chance to enrich her experience of shark research.
63. The passage is most probably taken from _____.
A. a short-story collection B. a popular science magazine
C. a research paper D. a personal diary
64 What do we learn from the first four paragraph of the passage
A. Sharks may be used to predict bad weather .B. Sharks’ behaviour can be controlled.
C. Michael Fish is not qualified for his job.
D. Lauren Smith will become a weather forecaster.
65. Lauren Smith conducted her research by _______.
A. removing hair cells from a shark’s balance system
B. measuring the air pressure of weather fronts
C. recording sharks’ body temperature D. monitoring sharks’ reaction to weather changes
66. What is the passage mainly about
A. A popular way of forecasting weather. B. A new research effort in predicting storms.
C. Biologists’ interest in the secrets of sharks.
D. Lauren Smith’s devotion to scientific research.
D
Probably you have seen photos of the Grand Canyon（峡谷）, the great valley in the desert country of Arizona. But you must go there yourself to feel its true size and beauty. The Grand Canyon is one of the greatest natural wonders of the world
The Colorado River formed the Grand Canyon over millions of years. Slowly, the river cut down through hard rock. At the same time, the land was ris ing. Today the canyon is 1.5 kilometers and 445 kilometers long. The oldest rocks at the bottom of the canyon are more than 1 billion years old. The width varies from about 200 meters to 29 kilometers across. The rim or top of the canyon is about 2,300 meters above sea level on the South Rim, and about 3,000 meters on the other side. As a result, there are different kinds of plants and animals on opposite sides of the canyon. The South Rim is dry desert country. The North Rim has tall forests.
The canyon looks different at diffe rent times of day, and in different seasons and weather. At sunrise and sunset the red, gold, brown and orange colors of the rocks are especially clear and bright. In winter, the canyon is partly covered with snow.
The view from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is the best. Most visitors come here and stay in campgrounds or hotels. Every point along the canyon’s edge offers a different view.
The North rim of the Canyon is quieter. It takes all day to drive there from the South Rim because there is only one bridge across the Colorado River. On the way, you go through Navado Indian lands, and a colorful pink desert called “The Painted Desert”.
67. The best way to feel the true beauty of the Grand Canyon is to________.
A. see its photographs B. listen to the report about it
C. watch its introduction on TV D. go there yourself and visit it
68. According to the second paragraph, ________.
A.the Grand Canyon has a short history B. its size never changed in the history
C. the Grand Canyon was formed by the earthquake
D. You can enjoy different scenery on different sides of the canyon
69. The scene the canyon is ________.
A.various depending on different time and places B.the same
C.various depending on different time D.various depending on different places
70. If you want to visit the North Rim from the South Rim, you________.
A.can go there in many directions B.won’t spend much time on the way
C.can visit The painted Desert on the way D.needn’t go across any bridges

We’re raising children!
A famous research scientist was being interviewed why he was so much more creative.
71 He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his balance and it fell, spilling its contents all the kitchen floor—a veritable sea of milk!
When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of yelling at him, she said , “Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely seen such a huge puddle of milk. 72 Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up ”
Indeed, he did. After several minutes, his mother said,“You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess, eventually you have to clean it up and restore everything to its proper order. 73 We could use a sponge, a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer ” He chose the sponge and they cleaned up the spilled milk.
His mother then said, “You know, what we have here is a failed experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle. Let’s fill the bottle with water and see if you can discover a way to carry it without dropping it.” The boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. 74
This scientist remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. 75
Wouldn’t it be great if all parents would respond the way Robert’s mother responded to him
A. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just opportunities for learning something new.[来源:21世纪教育网]
B. Well, the damage has already been done.
C. What set him so far apart from others
D. What a wonderful lesson!
E. So, how would you like to do that
F. Such an opportunity of experiencing was delightful to him.
G. He responded that it all came from an experience when he was about two years old.

Dear Dick,
How nice to hear from you again. You want to know what is going on in schools in China. In a short, things have begun to improve since schools called on to reduce learning load. I don’t know about others, but I am used to have to work even at weekends do endless homework and attending classes as well. Now I have more freely time. I can follow my own interest such as reading books, visiting museums, and taking computer lessons. On the evenings I can watch news on TV or reading newspapers. What’s worse, I can go to bed earlier. As far as I know , everyone is happy this new arrangement of things in China.
Best wishes.
Yours,
Li Mei
