16．Oxford and Cambridge have now decided to remove the words CAN'T and IMPOSSEBLE from their dictionary．Jessica Cox，25，a girl bom without arms，stands inside an aircraft．The girl got the Sport Pilot certificate lately and became the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet．
So，the next time you are ready to tell yourself，"I can't possibly…"remember this amazing young woman and change your vocabulary．
Jessica Cox has never let her disability hold her back．Growing up，Cox did it all，from swim lessons to girl scouts，modeling，tap dancing and Taekwondo-at the age of 14，she'd already earned a black belt．
"I can't believe how much I did growing up．Every single day after school there was something going on．I was expected to learn to do things like everybody else in my own way，which worked out just fine．"
Becoming a pilot wasn't always a dream for Cox，but after going up in a single engine airplane with a fighter pilot several years ago，she was inspired to overcome her initial fears．
In 2008，after extensive training，she earned her Light Sport Pilot Certificate，and setting a new Guinness World Record was a dream for her，and she nabbed it in 2011．
Not only is Cox the first person to fly a plane without arms，but she also holds the title of the first person without arms to receive a black belt in the American Taekwondo Association．
Cox has now traveled to 20 countries on six continents to share her inspirational story．She believes anyone can be excellent，regardless of disability，with encouragement and support．

56．What made Oxford and Cambridge decide to remove the two words？（No more than 8 words）
Armless Jessica Cox got the Sport Pilot certificate．Or Jessica Cox got the Sport Pilot certificate．
57．What made Cox do all the things during the course of his growing up？（No more than 10 words）
Her strong will to overcome/get rid of her disability．
58．Whal did Cox feel when she began to learn to fly a plane？（No more than 15 words）She was not very interested in becoming a pilot．Or She was afraid of flying a plane．
59．What is the meaning of the underlined part in Paragraph 6？（No more than 5 words）she got/made it Or she made her dream come true Or she realized her dream Or she won the title Or she made her mark．
60．How docs Cox's story inspire you to overcome difficulties in life？Put it in your own words．（No more than 20 words）We should not lose heart in face of difficulties．If we work hard，we will succeed．

分析 本文是一篇閱讀表達，屬于記敘文，主要介紹了自幼失去雙臂的Cox獲得了駕駛飛機的駕照，她希望鼓勵殘疾人學(xué)習(xí)飛行，從而向人們證明殘疾人和普通人一樣，有能力實現(xiàn)自己的目標(biāo)．

解答 56．答案：Armless Jessica Cox got the Sport Pilot certificate．Or Jessica Cox got the Sport Pilot certificate．根據(jù)Jessica Cox，25，a girl bom without arms，stands inside an aircraft．The girl got the Sport Pilot certificate lately and became the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet．可知，他們想把不能，不可能二詞從字典移去，是因為Jessica Cox獲得體育飛行員證書．故答案為Armless Jessica Cox got the Sport Pilot certificate．Or Jessica Cox got the Sport Pilot certificate．
57．答案：Her strong will to overcome/get rid of her disability．根據(jù)Jessica Cox has never let her disability hold her back．Growing up，Cox did it all，from swim lessons to girl scouts，modeling，tap dancing and Taekwondo-at the age of 14，she'd already earned a black belt．可知，她之所以做完所有的事，是因為她克服自己殘疾的堅強意志．故答案為Her strong will to overcome/get rid of her disability．
58．答案：She was not very interested in becoming a pilot．Or She was afraid of flying a plane．根據(jù)Becoming a pilot wasn't always a dream for Cox，but after going up in a single engine airplane with a fighter pilot several years ago，she was inspired to overcome her initial fears．可知，開始時Cox對于飛行并不感興趣，她對飛行很恐懼．故答案為She was not very interested in becoming a pilot．Or She was afraid of flying a plane．
59．答案：she got/made it Or she made her dream come true Or she realized her dream Or she won the title Or she made her mark．根據(jù)上下文內(nèi)容可知，此句句意為并建立了一個新的吉尼斯世界紀(jì)錄是她的夢想，她在2011年的時候?qū)崿F(xiàn)了這個夢想．故答案為she got/made it Or she made her dream come true Or she realized her dream Or she won the title Or she made her mark．
60．答案：We should not lose heart in face of difficulties．If we work hard，we will succeed．Or：Cox's story tells me that I should be strong and practice hard to overcome any difficulties in my life．Or：We should overcome our weaknesses with courage and determination．根據(jù)全文內(nèi)容，結(jié)合Cox的故事，我們可以知道在生活中，遇到了困難，我們不應(yīng)該輕言放棄，如果我們努力堅持，終會成功．故答案為We should not lose heart in face of difficulties．If we work hard，we will succeed．Or：Cox's story tells me that I should be strong and practice hard to overcome any difficulties in my life．Or：We should overcome our weaknesses with courage and determination．

6．Developed and developing nations can learn from each other seeking a low carbon economy，a Chinese government official said in Shanghai yesterday．
"China doesn't lag developed nations in terms of energy saving and green economy"，said Zhou Changyi，director of the energy saving department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology．
"While we can learn many aspects from developed nations，they also should learn something from us，such as water conservation，"Zhou said in a speech during the new Path of China's Industrialization forum at the ongoing China International Industry Fair 2009．
He said industrialized nations and China are dealing with different issues to combat climate change．The United Kingdom，for example，is concerned about transport，buildings and new energy in reducing carbon emissions．For China，the most urgent task is how to realize new type of industrialization and avoid mistakes that other countries made when they industrialized．
As such，overseas exhibitors at this year's fair are showing ways to help China achieve low carbon emissions in the industrial section．
Swiss power and automation technology group ABB called for a stronger focus on product lifecycle assessment，or LCA，which is used to study the environmental impact of a product from the research and manufacturing stage through its usage and recycling．
Tobias Becker，head of ABB's process automation division for North Asia and China，said LCA is an effective tool in helping manufacturing industries to reduce carbon emissions．
LCA shows that industrial customers should focus on a product's environmental impact throughout its lifecycle instead of on its initial investment or ready to use stage．For example，a motor's initial investment accounts for only 3percent of its lifecycle cost，while 94percent goes to fuel consumption and the rest to maintenance．
Richard Hausmann，North East Asia CEO of Siemens，said，"The color of future industrialization is green．"
The Germany Company recently announces that it wants to receive orders worth more than 6 billion Euros （US 8.8billion） for intelligent net power networks，Smart Grid，over the next five years．Siemens has set a 20 percent market share target for the global smart grid business．
A smart grid delivers electricity from suppliers to consumers using digital technology，advanced sensors specialized computers that save energy，reduce costs and increase reliability．The United States and China are considered the two biggest markets for smart grid．

12．"A"can replace the underlined word"lag"in paragraph 2．
A．Fall behind                              B．Be superior to
C．Attack                                      D．Fear
13．We can inferD from the eleventh paragraph of this passage．
A．Siemens has occupied 20 percent market share for the global smart grid business
B．Siemens received orders worth 6billion Euros recently
C．Siemens will earn $ 8.8 billion from intelligent power networks
D．Siemens'plan about Smart Grid may come true in the future
14．Dabout Smart Grid isn't mentioned in the passage．
A．Energy saving         B．Low cost
C．Security                   D．Small in size
15．The best title for the passage isB．
A．Developed and Developing Nations Can Learn From Each Other
B．Low carbon Economy-a Shared Goal
C．Intelligent Power Networks
D．Two Biggest Markets for Smart Grid．

5．At thirteen，I was diagnosed （診斷） with a kind of attention disorder．It made school difficult for me．When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks，I could not．
In my first literature class，Mrs．Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it，all within 45 minutes．I raised my hand right away and said，"Mrs．Smith，you see，the doctor said I have attention problems．I might not be able to do it．"
She glanced down at me through her glasses，"You are no different from your classmates，young man．"
I tried，but I didn't finish the reading when the bell rang．I had to take it home．
In the quietness of my bedroom，the story suddenly all became clear to me．It was about a blind person，Louis Braille．He lived in a time when the blind couldn't get much education．But Louis didn't give up．Instead，he invented a reading system of raised dots （點），which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind．
Wasn't I the"blind"in my class，being made to learn like the"sighted"students？My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance．I completed the task within 40 minutes．Indeed，I was no different from others；I just needed a quieter place．If Louis could find his way out of his problems，why should I ever give up？
I didn't expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs．Smith，so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day-with an"A"on it．At the bottom of the paper were these words："See what you can do when you keep trying？"
21．The author didn't finish the reading in class becauseB．

23．What was Mrs．Smith's attitude to the author at the end of the story？C
A．Angry．B．Impatient．C．Encouraging．D．Sympathetic．
24．What is the main idea of the passage？A
A．One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts．
B．A teacher can open up a new world to students．

9．When couples get m arried，they usually plan to have childr en．Sometimes，however，a couple can not have a child of their own．In this case，they may decide to adopt a child．In fact，adoption is very common today．There are about 60 thousand adoptions each year in the United States alone．Some people prefer to adopt infants，others adopt older children，some couples adopt children from their own countries，and others adopt children from foreign countries．In any case，they all adopt children for the same reason---they care about children and want to give their adopted child a happy life．
　　Most adopted children know that they are adopted．Psychologists and child-care experts generally think this is a good idea．However，many adopted children，or adoptees，have very little information about their biological parents．As a matter of fact，it is often very difficult for adoptees to find out about their birth parents because the birth records of most adoptees are usually sealed．The information is secret so no one can see it．Naturally，adopted children have different feelings about their birth parents．Many adoptees want to search for them，but others do not．The decision to search for birth parents is a difficult one to make．Most adoptees have mixed feelings about finding their biological parents．Even though adoptees do not know about their natural parents，they do know that their adopted parents want them，love them and will care for them．

10．Some people say that the best way to reduce the size of your waist is to do stomach exercise．Many people believe that when specific muscles are exercised，the fatty tissues （組織） in the immediate area are burned up．The truth is that exercise burns fat from all over the body and not from one specific area．Of course，if you reduce the fat throughout your body，you will certainly see results around your waist too．
Some people believe that you need to exercise twice a week in order to keep a sufficient level of physical fitness．However，studies directed by American scientists show that unexercised muscles lose their strength very quickly．Within 48to 72hours，you must use the muscles again to reestablish （重建） the good physical effects．And what does that mean to you？American scientists concluded that while daily exercise is most helpful，exercising every other day or three days a week will keep a sufficient level of physical fitness．
Is it true that you burn more calories running one mile than walking the same distance？The answer is no．The truth is that you use the same amount of energy whether you walk or run the mile，since in both cases you are moving the same weight the same distance．The speed does not matter．Of course，if you run rather than walk for 30minutes，you will cover more distance，and therefore burn more calories．
If your breathing doesn't return to normal within 5minutes after you finish exercising，you have exercised too much．Five minutes or so after exercising，your breathing should be normal，your heart shouldn't be beating loudly，and you shouldn't be tired．

21．If you want to reduce the fat around your waist，you shouldC．
A．do stomach exercise                      
B．exercise the waist
C．exercise all the muscles of your body        
D．run fast for 30minutes
22．From the second paragraph，we learn thatD．
A．we only need to exercise twice a week
B．we should exercise three times a week
C．muscles lose their strength after 48hours
D．we should exercise every other day，or three days a week
23．It can be inferred from the third paragraph thatD．
A．you will lose more weight running one hour than walking one hour
B．whether you run one mile or walk the same distance，you use the same amount of energy
C．you will lose more weight running one mile than walking the same distance
D．both A and B
24．If you have exercised too much，A．
A．your breathing will take longer than 5minutes to return to normal after you finish exercising
B．your breathing will return to normal within 5minutes after finishing exercising
C．your heart will not be beating loudly
D．you will be too tired to move
25．This passage tells us thatC．
A．it is better to do more running than walking
B．the more exercise you do，the healthier you will be
C．the unexercised muscles must be used again within 48 to 72 hours
D．in order to lose weight，you have to run fast．
