I prefer the stories about the swimmers at the Beijing Olympics,one of which is about Zakia Nassar. She's a 21-year-old Palestinian __21__ Bethlehem studying dentistry in Jenin. Having had neither a __22__ nor a chance to an Olympic-sized pool in the past year, she had no choice but to __23__ on her own at a 12m public pool.
There is a 50-meter __24__ in nearby Nazareth, but the Israeli government did not __25__ her to use it.
Nassar was __26__ to training only when she returned to her parents' home in Bethlehem, __27__ she did so only about every two months for two days or so. __28__ the pool is only 12 meters long.
“My parents and friends always __29__ me, reminding me that I had to keep training if I __30  wanted to go to the Olympics,” she said.
It was only when Nassar __31__ China a month ago that she finally got the opportunity to swim in a 50m pool and enjoyed the __32__ of having a coach.
When she at last took part in the Games, she swam the 50m in 31.97 seconds, a(n) __33__ of seven seconds on her personal __34__. Nassar said it was the most beautiful moment of her life.
She will not __35__ on the cover of Time magazine or __36__ millions of dollars in endorsements(捐款), but she can always say she won a race at the Olympics. For her, it wasn’t about __37__ the other swimmers or winning a prize, but about __38__ her own goal, __39__ difficult. When I think things are too difficult or I get those “I-just-can’t-do-it,” I think of her. Then I realize how __40__ the task before me really is.

        Crossing Texas and Mexico, the Big Bend region is high in biodiversity(生物的多樣性). It’s a place so untamed that if something doesn’t bite, stick, or sting, it’s probably a rock.
        You know you have arrived in the heart of the Chihuahuan Desert when it feels as if you have fallen off the edge of the earth and into the rabbit hole. Nothing is as it appears. Moths (蛀蟲) are the size of birds. Are those twin pillars (柱) of black rock (a landmark known as Mule Ear Peaks) ten miles (16 kilometers) away or fifty (80 kilometers)? Visibility (能見度) reaches more than a hundred miles on a clear day, and since there are few roads or buildings to use as milestones, distance is difficult to judge.
        This is a place where water runs uphill, where rainbows have to wait for rain. The line between myth (虛構(gòu)的故事) and reality is unclear. Stare long enough at the Chisos Mountains or the Sierra del Carmen, the two mountain ranges, known as sky islands, which lie on the land, and they rise and float above the plain.
        The vast Chihuahuan Desert is a land of no people. There is always the chance you’ll die of thirst. The “You Can Die”possibilities are endless, and keep some visitors — 350,000 a year to Big Bend National Park, built in 1944 — from coming back. Those who do return are left to think of the remarkable courage of the brave few who have managed to survive in this terrible environment.
        小題1:The underlined word“untamed”in Paragraph 1 means“________”.
        A.untouchedB.wildC.unchangedD.fresh
        小題2:Why do the twin pillars of black rock seem ten or fifty miles away?
        A.They were put so far away.
        B.They lie across the Chihuahuan Desert.
        C.It is difficult to judge the distance, with few milestones.
        D.One lies in the Chisos Mountains, the other in the Sierra del Carmen.
        小題3:How many years are there since the Big Bend National Park was built?
        A.350,000 years.B.350 years.C.66 years.D.44 years.
        小題4:What is the passage mainly about?
        A.The natural wonders of the Chihuahuan Desert.
        B.Everything you see is not what it seems in the Chihuahuan Desert.
        C.The terrible environment of deserts in Texas and Mexico.
        D.A special place where none who go can return.
        小題5:What can we learn from the last paragraph?
        A.There are all kinds of living things in the Chihuahuan Desert.
        B.No people live in the Big Bend region.
        C.Nothing is as it appears in the Big Bend region.
        D.Traveling in the Big Bend region is dangerous.

        Cole Bettles had been rejected by a number of universities when he received an e-mail from the University of California, San Diego, last month, congratulating him on his admission and inviting him to tour the campus. His mother booked a hotel in San Diego, and the 18-year-old Ojai high school senior arranged for his grandfather, uncle and other family members to meet them at the campus for lunch during the Saturday tour.
        “They were like ‘Oh my God, that’s so awesome (棒的)’, ” Bettles said. Right before he got in bed, he checked his e-mail one last time and found another message saying the school had made a mistake and his application had been denied.
        In fact, all 28, 000 students turned away from UC San Diego, in one of the toughest college entrance seasons on record, had received the same incorrect message. The students’ hopes had been raised and then dashed (破滅) in a cruel twist that shows the danger of instant communications in the Internet age.
        UCSD admissions director Mae Brown called it an “administrative error” but refused to say who had made the mistake, or if those responsible would be disciplined (受訓(xùn))。
        The e-mail, which began, “We’re thrilled that you’ve been admitted to UC San Diego, and we’re showcasing (展示) our beautiful campus on Admit Day, ” was sent to the full 46, 000 students who had applied, instead of just the 18, 000 who got in, Brown said.
        The error was discovered almost immediately by her staff, who sent an apology within hours.
        “It was really thrilling for a few hours; now he’s crushed (壓垮), ” said Cole’s mother, Tracy Bettles. “It’s really tough on them.”
        The admissions director said she was in the office on Monday until midnight answering e-mails and phone calls from disappointed students and their parents. She said she took full responsibility for the error. “We accessed the wrong database. We recognize the incredible pain receiving this false encouragement caused. It was not our intent.”
        小題1:How many students received an admission e-mail from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD)?
        A. 18, 000     B. 28, 000   C. 46, 000    D. 18

        A.The mistake was made on purpose to cause pain among the applicants.
        B.It was UCSD admissions director Mae Brown who made the mistake.
        C.UCSD admissions staff got information from the wrong database.
        D.Staff did not discover the mistake until next Monday.
        小題3:The admissions director Mae Brown did what she could to __________.
        A.protect the person who made the mistake
        B.punish herself for the mistake
        C.make up for the mistake
        D.help the disappointed students enter the university

        A. Cole Bettles was admitted to the UCSD.
        B. Cole Bettles was rejected y a famous university.
        C. USCD admissions office often makes “administration errors”。
        D. False admission information raised the students’ hopes and then dashed them.

        A businessman had two sons. While he gave the younger son a lot of love and gifts, he neglected (忽視) the elder son. It was completely puzzling (令人費解) and no one knew why.
        When the boys grew up, they were asked to manage the father’s business. The elder son was absorbed in the business. From morning till late in the evening, he was busy working. Within a few years, he ran the business very well and even expanded (擴大) it.
        What about the younger son? He didn't have much to do except have a good time. But the father believed that his favorite son would be a success. If the elder son could be a successful businessman, surely the younger one, with a higher education, would do much better.
        A few years later, the results of his decision became clear. Uninterested in business, the younger son continued spending his time enjoying himself. And he went out of business.

        “Why?” asked the father.
        “I blame (責(zé)備) one person for the way my brother has turned out, and it’s not him. You can’t blame children for the faults (過失) of their parents, can you?” asked the elder son.

        As a music teacher for twenty-seven years, I have always known that music touches the soul. It can break through all kinds of barriers(障礙) to reach students in a very special way. It can be the means for each child to find their light.
        A few years ago, I was blessed with the opportunity to teach pre-school students one afternoon a week. One of my most memorable students was Vanessa. She was five years old, had difficulty walking, and could not speak. We mostly sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students clapped two times while singing the repeating phrase, “Oh, yes!” Vanessa liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. We performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. She never said or sang a word.
        One day late in the school year, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, looked me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands two times and said the words “Oh, yes!” I opened my mouth and could not speak. Through music, we had made a connection.
        Several years later, I came across Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big smile on her face and then clapped her hands two times, mimicking(模仿) the song we had performed in our music class. This precious little girl, through her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever.
        Every child has the ability to learn and grow. It is up to us educators to discover the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child’s light.
        小題1:The author thinks music________.
        A.can make children calm downB.can connect heart to heart
        C.is difficult for pre-school studentsD.is a good means to find a job
        小題2:According to the second paragraph, Vanessa________.
        A.got used to singing songsB.was too shy to speak
        C.was the youngest in the classD.enjoyed the author’s classes
        小題3:When Vanessa spoke the words “Oh, yes!”, the author felt________.

        World Expo 2010 Shanghai China is to be staged in Shanghai from May 1 to October 31, 2010. If you plan to visit the Shanghai Expo this summer, China Pavilion(館)is a must - see area for you.
        China Pavilion, which is called Oriental Crown, is located at the center of the Expo site. Standing 63 meters tall, the China Pavilion takes the shape of an emperor's crown, with the upper layers larger than the lower ones. Covering 160,000 square meters in floor space, the pavilion is made up of a national hall and a regional(宗教的  ) hall. Buildings on the China Pavilion began on Dec. 18, 2007. The design of the China Pavilion was picked from a total of 344 designs put for­ward by Chinese from around the world. The pavilion has both traditional and modern features, which helps devel­op the theme of the 2010 Expo; "Better City, Better Life. For example, it is red in appearance, which covers the  traditional Chinese culture, and it is green indoors, with the use of energy - saving techniques. The Shanghai World Expo is expected to attract 70 million visitors from across the globe. It is estimated that 400,000 people will visit the Expo and its 140 pavilions every day during the period, but the China Pavilion is only able to receive about one tenth of the total. How to hold so many people in the pavilion remains a tough task. Luckily, the China Pavilion is built as a permanent(長久的) landmark.
        During the Expo, the main structure(結(jié)構(gòu)  ) will be used for an exhibition based on the theme of “ Chinese wisdom in urban (城市)development” by explaining the values of harmony(和諧  ), nature and spirit. The three - story pavilion has three sections. The top floor's “Footprint of the East” will show some of the changes in Chinese cities. There, you can see a film which shows how Chinese cities have changed, especially in the past 30 years. According to Lu Chuan, director of the film, the scenery is like something from Lord of the Rings. On the second floor, “Journey of Wisdom” will explain China's four great inventions.  And the ground's “ Blossoming” City will display scenes from cities of the future.
        小題1: Which of the following words can be used to describe the China Pavilion?

        On a cold January morning in a Washington, DC Metro Station, a man with a violin played for about an hour. During that time about 2,000 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.
        After 3 minutes a middle-aged man noticed there was a musician playing. He stopped for a few seconds and then hurried on. Four minutes later the violinist received his first dollar: a woman threw the money in the hat without stopping and continued to walk. After 6 minutes, a young man leaned against the wall to listen to him, then looked at his watch and walked away. After 10 minutes, a 3-year-old boy stopped but his mother dragged him along hurriedly. This action was repeated by several other children. Every parent, without exception, forced their children to move on quickly.
        Finally only 6 people stopped and listened for a short while. About 20 gave money, but continued to walk at their normal pace. The man collected a total of $ 32. When he finished playing, no one applauded.
        The violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the greatest musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate (復(fù)雜的) pieces ever written, with a violin worth $ 3.5 million dollars. Two days before, Joshua Bell sold out a theatre in Boston where the seats averaged $ 100 each.
        The program was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about understanding, taste, and people’s social position. In a common place environment, at an inappropriate hour, do we appreciate beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize talent in an unexpected context?
        If we do not take a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world, playing some of the finest music ever written, how many other things are we missing?
        小題1: The first paragraph is aimed to tell us ______.
        A.the man chose a bad place for playingB.what background the story was set in
        C.how busy people were that morningD.many people showed interest in music
        小題2:We can infer from the passage that ______.
        A.none of the passers-by were fond of music
        B.beauty can only be enjoyed in particular places
        C.in a way, the violinist was mistaken as a beggar
