It was so cold that I couldn’t feel my legs. There was going to be a racing contest that night so I was 36 my horse, Skippy, up. I was simply running laps(跑道的圈) around the ring. The  37  cold air had been blowing past me, freezing my limbs, but every second I  38 it. You could hear the faint  39  of the people up at the clubhouse eating their dinner. My parents were also there, not knowing that my little sister had slowly wandered her way down to the ring. It was  40 because there was no moon or stars. Nobody else was in the ring at the time. I was really enjoying the  41  and I was able to  42  what Skippy was doing. As I took my last lap it  43 . Everything rapidly slowed down as I saw my little sister step 44   the ring. I saw true fear on her face because she knew she wouldn’t be  45  to move out of the way fast enough. She knew that she was going to get hit. She tried to  46 but nothing came out of her fear-dried throat. When my horse got to her, he was still in a full out run.  47  , miraculously(奇跡般地), he slid so hard on his back feet that he  48 . It really made the  49  seem absolutely unreal. I thought that maybe I was 50 . I had  51  in my mind that I wasn’t seeing what was happening. I knew I had hit my sister. There was no way I could have  52  her. My horse was rising straight up and while he was in the air I couldn’t breathe. It’s like I forgot  53 . As all of this happened I watched my sister’s face transform (變形) through many different  54 : terror, confusion, curiosity, and then a sort of relief. Then she was laughing.
As I held my sister into my arms, Skippy stood right behind me knowing that I actually owed him my life  55 he saved my sister’s.

Bill Bryson是美國(guó)著名游記作家。閱讀下面列出的他的一些作品的簡(jiǎn)要介紹，從A—F 中找出相應(yīng)的封面。
小題1:This book is a guide to the world’s unspoilt sights and experiences. It presents one thousand fresh and fascinating alternatives to hundreds of well-known tourist destinations and sights, including alternatives to the Carnival in Rio and the beaches of Thailand, the most-visited national parks, over-rated restaurants and holiday sites.
小題2:In this collection, Bill Bryson is writing from home. We find he assesses life both in New England and in the contemporary United States.

Awed by merely the camping section of his local sporting goods store, he still goes into the wilderness and learns hard lessons about self-reliance.
小題4:A travelogue by Bill Bryson is as close to a sure thing as funny books get. This book is no exception. Following an urge to rediscover his youth, the author leaves his native Des Moines, Iowa, in a journey that takes him to across 38 states in the country, which is like a small town in his opinion.
小題5:Born in Iowa, Bryson backpacked through Europe as a young man. While living in England some 20 years later, he revisited many of the same places from arctic Norway’s northern lights to romantic Capri in Italy. Here he jumps back and forth between old memories and new experiences.

Christopher Thomas, 27, was a writer by night and a teacher by day when he noticed he was always tired and was losing weight fast. Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰島素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if that weren't bad enough, he had no health insurance.
After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided he'd better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, and created diabeticrockstar.com, a free online community for diabetics and their loved ones—a place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.
Jason Swencki’s son, Kody, was diagnosed with type diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online children's forums(論壇) together most evenings. "Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over," says Swencki, one of the site's volunteers. "They know what he's going through, so he doesn't feel alone."
Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.
These days, Thomas's main focus is his charity（慈善機(jī)構(gòu)）, Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people—225 to date—who can't afford a diabetic's huge expenses. Fight-it.org has raised about $23,000—in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean.
Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his full-time job waiting tables. "Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure," says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstar's original members. "But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now."
小題1:Which of the following is true of Christopher Thomas?
A．He needs to go to the doctor every day.
B．He studies the leading cause of diabetes
C．He has a positive attitude to this disease.
D．He encourages diabetics by writing articles.
小題2: Diabeitcrockstar.com was created for _________.
A．diabetics to communicateB．volunteers to find jobs
C．children to amuse themselvesD．rock stars to share resources.
小題3:According to the text, Kody ______.
A．feel lonely because of his illnessB．benefits from diabeticrockstar.com
C．helps create the online kid’s forumsD．writes children’s stories online
小題4:What can we learn about Fight It?
A．It helps the diabetics in financial difficulties.
B．It organizes parties for volunteer once a year.
C．It offers less expensive medicine to diabetics.
D．It owns a well-known medical website.
小題5:The last paragraph suggests that Thomas ______.
A．works full-time in a diabetes charityB．employs 22 people for his website
C．helps diabetics in his own wayD．ties to find a cure for diabetes

There was great interest when a big hole mysteriously appeared in the middle of a field. Engineers were called in to explain how it had got there. They offered various explanations but were not at all sure how the hole had been caused, it was thought that a large bomb which came suddenly exploded, but it was not possible to prove this. A simple, but highly improbable explanation was offered by a man who declares to know well about “flying saucers”; the strange objects which are round in shape and are said to visit the earth from outer space. The man’s explanation may have been nonsense (胡說(shuō)八道), but at least it was imaginative. At any rate, it was far more interesting than the one given by the army.
After examining the ground carefully the man declared to have seen special marks on the soil quite near the hole, these, he said, could only have been caused by a flying saucer. Moreover the leaves on some bushes nearby had turned yellow because of a strange hot gas which had come from the saucer just before it landed. Even a small tree some way off appeared to have been burnt slightly. A small piece of metal found in the hole itself gave further proof that a strange object had been there. According to the man, it was quite clear that people from another world had been going around the earth trying to pick up information, when something had gone wrong. Because of this they had been forced to land in a field so that the damage could be repaired. The hole had been caused when the saucer struck the earth, while the strange marks nearby were made when it took off again. This, said the man, was the simplest explanation of how the hole had appeared. Judging from the interest the public took in the matter, there must be quite a few people who secretly believe or hope that this simple explanation is the true one.
小題1:What aroused public interest?
A．A mysterious hole in a field.B．Various explanations offered by experts.
C．A simple explanation given by a man.D．The shape of the flying saucers.
小題2:The author thought the man’s explanation was________. 
A．boring but imaginativeB．reasonable and interesting
C．meaningless but interestingD．mysterious and unbelievable
小題3:The man found a lot of proofs except ____. 
A．special marks on soil near the holeB．yellow leaves on some bushes nearby
C．a(chǎn) small piece of meal in the holeD．the remains of the flying saucer
小題4:It’s said the outer-space people were circling the earth _______.
A．to repair their saucerB．to strike the earth
C．to. collect information D．to make strange marks

Catherine Destivelle is a rock star. She loves rock, but she can’t sing or play the guitar! She is a rock climber and a big star in France and Italy. She is the most famous woman climber in the world because she often climbs without ropes. She climbs in many countries but most often in the French Alps near Chamonix, where she lives. She started climbing near her home in Paris when she was five. Then, at fourteen, she joined the French Alpine Club to learn more, but immediately she climbed better and more quickly than the older members of the club. She won her first competition in Italy in 1995.
Three years ago she found a new route up the Dru Mountain near Chamonix. The climb took eleven days and for four days the snow was so heavy that she could not move. Last year other climbers tried to follow the new Destivelle Route, but they failed. They are going to try again this year.
People always ask her about her climbing. She says, “I climb because I’m in love with mountains. I like touching the rock and reading the face of the rock. I like it a lot. I felt at home on the side of a mountain. I prepare well before I go, so I’m never worried.”
Catherine chooses new mountains from books—like buying from a shopping catalogue(目錄)! “I see a nice mountain and I go to climb it!” Her next mountain is in Pakistan. She is going there next month. “It’s much bigger than the Dru, so it’s going to take longer to climb. An American climber, Jeff Lowe, is coming with me to help.”
小題1:Catherine Destivelle is called ‘a(chǎn) star’ because ________.
A．she won a competition in 1995B．she loves rocks

小題3:On the side of a mountain she feels _______.
A．independentB．easy and happyC．energetic and challenged D．nervous
