I’d been 16 for six days and was already prepared to deal with failure. I remember when my mum   36  me up that morning, her voice wasn’t as   37  as it usually was.
I stayed in bed for a few minutes. I was   38  to leave its warmth and comfort, and didn’t want to face the problem that I’d let myself   39  for the past six months. Finally, I dragged myself out of    40 .
I finished getting ready and tried to   41 . It didn’t work, so I decided that my   42  should go with me. We had a little time, so I thought we could practice parking. I   43 , with the wheel hitting the fence. After that, the little bit of confidence I’d had was   44 . I tried two more times, but didn’t   45  much. Then we headed to the test site.
I went into a room for some paperwork. And I waited for 20 minutes—just   46  time to make myself believe that I was going to fail. Then, finally, it was my   47 . I just wanted to get it over and make sure that I had to come back next Thursday.
I stepped outside and the sky was the light blue I love. It offered me some   48  and I realized something: something between when I pulled myself off the seat and when I got outside. I had become   49  and confident.
The first thing I had to do was parking, which I did quite   50 . The confidence that came with it hit me like a wave. The rest of the test went well too and I   51  it all. As I drove back, the instructor told me I would not be coming back for a second   52  next Thursday.
Back in the building I didn’t have to say a word. My mum knew just by looking at me. Her    53  made her face softer. And I’m sure it was at least as big as the smile on my face. Her eyes, 54 , looked kind of teary. I knew she was   55  for me.

On Nov. 18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the violinist, came on stage to give a concert at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City.
If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that getting on stage is no small achievement for him. He was stricken with polio(小兒麻痹癥) as a child, and so he has braces(支架) on both legs and walks with the aid of two crutches(雙拐).
He walks painfully, yet majestically, until he reaches his chair. Then he sits down, slowly, puts his crutches on the floor, undoes the clasps on his legs, tucks one foot back and extends the other foot forward. Then he bends down and picks up the violin, puts it under his chin, nods to the conductor and proceeds to play.
But this time, something went wrong. Just as he finished the first few bars(小節(jié)), one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear it snap(嘣斷)——it went off like gunfire across the room. There was no mistaking what that meant. There was no mistaking what he had to do.
We figured that he would have to get up, put on the clasps again, pick up the crutches and limp his way off stage——to either find another violin or else find another string for this one. But he didn’t. Instead, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again.
The orchestra began, and he played from where he had left off. And he played with such passion and such power and such purity as they had never heard before.
When he finished, there was an awesome silence in the room. And then people rose and cheered. He smiled, wiped the sweat from this brow, raised his bow to quiet us, and then he said in a quiet tone, “You know, sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can still make with what you have left.”
51.  By saying “getting on stage is no small achievement for him”, the author really means ______.
A．it’s very difficult for Itzhak Perlman to play the violin with three strings
B．it’s not easy for Itzhak Perlman to get on the stage because he is disabled
C．it’s not easy for Itzhak Perlman to face such a large audience
D．it’s really great achievements for Itzhak Perlman to play the violin with three strings
52.  When one of the strings broke, people thought Itzhak Perlman would __________.
A．go on playing with the remaining three strings   B．give up playing
C．change or repair his violin            D．get off the stage with shame
53.  Itzhak Perlman ___________ when one of the strings of the violin broke.
A．gave up playing
B．didn’t know what to do
C．went on playing the same piece of music
D．went on playing a different piece of music
54.  What did the audience feel when Itzhak Perlman finished playing?
A．Surprised  B．Disappointed    C．Moved      D．Satisfied
55.  Itzhak Perlman can be best described as a man who is ____________.
A．clever       B．strong willed     C．humourous    D．quite skilled

I once heard someone say, “We don’t remember days; we remember moments.” However, in today’s busy life we often forget to enjoy small pleasures while we make big plans.
In the race to be better or best, we sometimes lose sight of “just being”. And just being and enjoying a beautiful moment can provide some of life’s greatest pleasures. A fire on a cold winter night, a good book, an impressive sunset, a great meal, or a timeless moment with your child or a friend ．．． these moments, if we stop long enough to enjoy, are the essence (本質(zhì)) of life.
I love to fish, especially for large-mouth bass (鱸魚). About three years ago I was watching television late at night and got this crazy idea to go fishing in the lake behind my house. Of course, my wife thought I was nuts. It was almost midnight! I told her I was fine and took off.
I walked out to a warm summer breeze and looked up at the starry sky and breathtaking full moon. I allowed my senses to soak (浸泡) in every second — the sweet smell of flowers, the sound of every cricket (蟋蟀), the moon’s reflection dancing off the water — it was a perfect night.
After walking across a small field, I took out a flashlight, and selected a lure (餌). On my first cast I got a bass weighing over five pounds, one of the largest I had ever caught. I gently put it back into the water and continued my midnight adventure. During the next two hours I caught seventeen bass, all between two and five pounds. Although I’ve fished for almost fifty years, no fishing memory can top that night.
But that night provided far more than a fishing memory. It was a life memory. It provided me a picture of what life could be like if I just slowed down enough to enjoy the moments. On my way back to the house, as I walked through the tall grass, I took one last look at the sky and stopped to say, “Thank you, God, for giving me this night.”
64. The purpose of the passage is to ______.
A. suggest people should make big plans                          
B. tell people to do what they like
C. advise people to enjoy beautiful moments
D. encourage people to follow their dreams
65. What does the underlined word “nuts” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A. Determined.               B. Ill.      C. Tired.                 D. Crazy.
66. The fourth paragraph is mainly about ______.
A. the description of the night
B. the author’s fishing experience
C. the author’s attitude towards life
D. what the author did that night
67. We can learn from the passage that night the author ______.
A. caught fewer fish than before
B. enjoyed real small pleasures
C. went to bed around 1:00 am
D. went fishing with his wife

I worked for a short time as a cashier（出納員）at a restaurant a few months ago. 71  One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I guess I should have checked it to find out who was the owner, but I was busy at the time. Also, I imagined that if the wallet contained anything valuable, the owner would be back.
An hour later a man came up to the counter（柜臺）. 72  I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his sincere thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “ No”, he opened it right away and showed that it contained nearly $800 in cash (現(xiàn)金). 73  
“A reward for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away.
74  I began wondering whether I would have been so honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if there had been no way to find the owner and no one had returned to claim（認(rèn)領(lǐng)）it, I might have kept it. But it also came into my mind that I had in fact saved someone’s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. 75  The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything money could  buy.
A．He looked quite worried and asked if anyone had found a wallet.
B．Later I thought about it again.
C．To my surprise, he took out a twenty–dollar bill and handed it to me.
D．So I didn’t return the wallet until the owner returned.
E. I wanted to be honest, so I didn’t care much about money.
F. I also helped clear off the tables when it was especially busy.
G. For quite a long time I kept happy whenever I thought about it.
