The spectacular Victoria Falls links two countries, Zimbabwe and Zambia．It was discovered by David Livingstone in November 1855 and is known in the local language, as Mosi-oa-tunya, “the smoke that thunders”．It was Livingstone who named Victoria Falls after his Queen and stated in his own famous diary entry--- “Angels in their flight must have gazed．”
Adventure sports and a range of accommodation
The rustic（鄉(xiāng)村的）Victoria Fall town--- just ten minutes from the Fall, and on the outskirts of the Zambezi National Park--- has all facilities necessary to act as a base for exploring the region．Accommodation is plentiful--- from low budget campsites to luxury hotels．
And across the border in Livingstone, Zambia, visitors will find a town suitable for the adventure sports enthusiasts with lots of travel and adventure sports companies．
Victoria Bridge--- the third highest Bungee jump in the world
At a height of 364 feet, the Victoria Falls Bridge, completed in 1905, is the world’s third highest Bungee jump, though the scream factor is arguably the loudest, making it a great draw-card for adventure sports enthusiasts．While dropping into the abyss (深淵), you will be blasted with spray from the thundering Victoria Falls, and then jerked (猛烈) back to reality within inches of the swirling eddies (漩渦) of the Zambezi below．
How to enjoy the Victoria Falls Experience--- take to the sky’s and the water
Anyone can pay an entrance fee and walk around the ridge of Victoria Falls and take some good pictures to send home, but to truly experience the size and scope of the spray, you’ve got to get airborne, and there are options--- tame and a little wild: fixed wing planes, helicopters, microlights．
River Rafting, in many shapes and sizes, is conducted on both sides of the Zambezi River, in Zimbabwe and Zambia below Victoria Falls．
63．What is the passage mainly about?
A．The introduction to the adventure sports at Victoria Falls． 
B．The description of the beauty of Victoria Fall．
C．The development of the adventure sports in this region．
D．The introduction to the options of accommodation in this region．
64．What does David Livingstone think of Victoria Falls by saying “Angels in their flight must
have gazed．”?
A．Quite mysterious．      B．A bit dangerous
C．Amazingly beautiful．      D．Out of reach．
65．The author believe that the best way to experience Victoria Falls is______________．
A．on foot           B．by Bungee jump   C．by air      D．by river rafting
66．Which of the following best shows the relationship of the following places?

The art of giving gifts is to give something that others cannot buy for themselves.             
                                         ------A.A. Milne
I have spent most of my career as a traveling salesman. There’s 36   lonelier than having meals myself in a coffee shop. One year, my five-year-old daughter Jeanine gave me a  37 . It was a soft toy penguin with a hand –painted  38 saying “I love My Dad!”  Tears came into my eyes and immediately, I gave it a  39 place on my desk.
Soon I had to leave on another business  40 . This time when I was  41 , I put the penguin in my suitcase. After that day, Jeanine always helped me pack with the penguin. Many years 42 by and that little penguin has traveled with me hundreds of thousands of miles all across America and over to Europe. We have also made many friends  43  the way.
  44 one afternoon after leaving my hotel, I discovered that the penguin was  45 . Frantically, I phoned the hotel. The clerk  46  , saying it hadn’t been reported. But half an hour later, he called back to say that my penguin had been found. It was late,  47  I drove several hours to get my little  48 , arriving near midnight.
When I rushed to the hotel, I found that it was waiting at the front desk. In the lobby(大廳), some   49 business travelers looked at us, I think, with some  50 and envy(羨慕). Someone came out to shake my hand. One man told me that he had even volunteered to  51 it to me the very next day.
Jeannie is in college now and I don’t travel  52 much anymore. The penguin spends most of its time  53  on my dresser­­­­­--- a reminder that  54  is the best traveling companion. All those years on the road, it was the one thing I never left home  55 .

I was in the queue for the supermarket checkout(付款臺) earlier today．All of the checkouts were    36  , and the woman behind me was not happy! Every word that came from her mouth was a(n)    37  !

I listened to her    40  looking around as I loaded my stuff onto the conveyor belt (傳送帶)．I didn’t want    41   to do with that kind of attitude, and if ever I’d felt like letting someone go     42    of me, it wouldn’t be such a woman!

I couldn’t    46  it．I pushed my shopping back to the end of the conveyor belt,     47   a space．“After you,” I said to the woman and the girl, and    48   them to a big    49   ．The woman was delighted, and even    50   to complain ---- until she was walking away．
So,  51  bother having helped? It was because that little girl was probably taking in her granny’s complaint like a sponge(海綿)．She was learning how to    52   situations like that by listening to her granny．I’d seen that I could interrupt that complaining, and put a smile and some   53   into the middle of it．
We can all complain; we can all react    54   , but it doesn’t have to be like that．And, even if only for a few     55    , I wanted to leave that little soul with just a glimpse of another way．

Here’ s an unusual story: a diamond ring
was recently found in an egg. The    

magician, Liu Qian, discovered it, in front          
of an audience of millions at CCTV’ s Spring
Festival Gala. Liu’ s magic tricks have made the centuries-old art of magic fashionable once again, and made him the hottest magician in China.
As a seasoned young magician from Taiwan, Liu is popular worldwide for his magic shows. Countries he has performed in include the U
nited States, Japan, South Korea and the UK.
Witnessing something impossible happen right before your eyes is the root of people’ s love for magic.
“It’ s actually thinking rather than one’ s manipulation（操作）skills; that is more important to achieving a successful magic show. We think carefully about how to design the shows creatively, to make them appear more interesting.  ”Liu said.

Liu Qian’ s success dated back to his childhood. Born in 1976 in Taiwan, he found himself attracted to a magic toy in a shop when he was seven years old. At the age of 12, he won Taiwan’ s Youth Magic Contest, which was judged by the great American magician, David Copperfield.
Yet, Liu never planned on becoming a professional magician. He studied Japanese literature at university and only hoped to be an amateur  (業(yè)余的) magician in his spare time. However, his failure to find a proper job after graduation pushed him towards magic as a career.
To refine his performing skills, he has performed on streets, roads and fields for passers-by, policemen and farmers.
“Street shows are the biggest challenge for us magicians. We have to deal with unexpected situations and tough crowds, ” Liu said.
小題1:What does the underlined word  “seasoned ” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A．季節(jié)性的B．剛出道的C．老練的D．職業(yè)的
小題2: The story is about_____.
A．how Liu Qian became China’ s hottest magician
B．why people love magic
C．what magic tricks are

小題3:People love to watch magic because_____.
A．they can’ t figure out the secret of magic
B．it arouses their curiosity
C．they love watching magicians make the impossible happen
D．it is a centuries-old art
小題4:Which of the following is the key reason that Liu Qian decided to make magic his career?
A．He was interested in magic when he was little.
B．He had won Taiwan’ s Youth Magic Contest.
C．He became an amateur magician in his spare time.

I then started working with each department head to determine how I could support their efforts. At first, they thought that I was looking to fix the blame for inefficiencies(無效率), but over time, they realized that I only wanted to help them find solutions.

Most 23-year-olds have not done enough in life to be worthy of having their own documentary（紀錄片）
　　Most 23-year-olds aren't LeBron James.
　　The NBA superstar, who recently won gold at the Beijing Olympics, has just released More Than a Game. It is a documentary that follows his rise to stardom (明星地位) and how he and four childhood friends overcame long odds to win a national championship in high school.
　　Combining footage (鏡頭) taken during James' career at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School in Akron, Ohio, US, along with one-on-one interviews by writer/director Kris Belman, home videos, and personal family photographs, the film is about much more than basketball. At its core (核心) is a story of friendship, loyalty and love.
　　"We set out with a goal as kids and we wanted to accomplish that someway, somehow by using basketball as a tool, not knowing that it was going to create other opportunities for us," James said. "We didn't know it was going to create a brotherhood and trust. We grew from kids into young men."
　　While James is the star, his former teammates, Dru Joyce III, Sian Cotton, Willie McGee and Romeo Travis, play a major role in the film.
　　Their journey began together as 8-year-old boys, winds through years traveling all over America playing in basketball tournaments and finishes in their senior season at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School.
　　At the time, Belman was a college film student. He set out to film James and his friends' season as his final school project, a 10-minute documentary. But after gaining the trust of the players and coach Dru Joyce, Belman spent two months filming and eventually teamed with producer Harvey Mason Jr to the full-length feature.
　　James hopes the film will inspire youngsters (年輕人).
　　"We set out with a goal when we were eight and we accomplished it when we were 18," he said. "It's a great story and I wanted to get it out to kids that have a dream, that they should continue to go after it, believe in it and live it if they want to accomplish something."
小題1:LeBron James achieved his goal set at 8 when        .
A．he won a gold medal at the Beijing Olympics
B．He won a national championship in high school
C．he became a collage student
D．he was interviewed by Kris Belman
小題2:Which of the following is unlikely to be included in the description of James?
A．Friendly.B．Faithful.C．Hardworking.D．Self-centered.
小題3:More Than a Game is          .
A．James’ favorite story about his childhood
B．a(chǎn) documentary filmed by James’ classmate
C．a(chǎn) film made by Belman
D．a(chǎn)n article a bout James’ high school life

SECTION B
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
I remember my dad teaching me the power of language at a very young age. Not only did he understand that specific  36  can affect our mental pictures, but he understood that words are a  37  programming factor in lifelong success.
One particularly unforgettable event occurred when I was eight. As a child, I was always climbing trees, poles and  38  around upside down from the rafters(屋椽) of our lake house.  39 , it came to no surprise for my dad to find me at the top of a 30-foot tree, swinging back and forth. My little eight-year-old  40  didn’t realize that the tree could break or I could get hurt. I just thought it was enjoyable to be up so high. My older cousin, Tammy, was also hanging in the same tree. Her mother also  41  us at exactly the same time as my dad did. About that time, a huge gust(一陣) of wind blew through the tree. I could hear the leaves rustle(嘎嘎地響) and feel the tree begin to sway. I remember my dad’s  42  over the wind, “Bart, Hold on tightly!”So I did.
The next thing I heard was Tammy’s mother yelling, “Tammy, don’t fall!” Tammy did  43  . My dad later explained to me that the mind has a very  44 time processing a negative image. It takes seventeen positive statements to offset(抵消) one negative statement. That means it might  45  seventeen compliments(賀詞/道賀) to offset the emotional  46  of one criticism.
These are concepts that are especially useful in developing yourself. How many compliments do you give yourself daily and how often do you criticize yourself? Try to  47  yourself a lifetime of positive programming by complimenting yourself, or at least think about the kind of programming you are doing to yourself on a daily basis. Remember: try to make positive self-talk a daily practice and you will succeed some day.
36. A. reactions             B. behaviors                 C. words                  D. expressions
37. A. doubtful                B. sensible                    C. strange                     D. powerful
38. A. sitting                 B. hanging                    C. standing                   D. lying
39. A. However             B. Furthermore             C. Moreover                 D. Therefore
40. A. brain                  B. memory                   C. experience                D. knowledge
41. A. believed                 B. noticed                     C. protected                  D. persuaded
42. A. voice                  B. figure                      C. image                      D. anger
43. A. hold                   B. think                       C. fall                          D. regret
44. A. surprising           B. relaxing                   C. difficult                   D. short
45. A. offer                  B. take                         C. give                         D. Keep
