Some even win local talent competitions as children, but only a few such early successes and dreams turn into reality. Jessica Andrews is one of the few whose dreams have come true.Andrews first taste of success came at the age of 10. She won a talent competition in her home town of Huntingdon, Tennessee, singing I Will Always Love You, originally sung by Whitney Houston. Houstons version of the song appeared on The Bodyguard sound track, which happened to be the first album Andrews ever bought.Within two years, talk of Andrews had spread to Nashville and caught the attention of producer Byron Gallimore, whose credits include work with Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, and Jo Dee Messina.With Gallimore signed on to produce, Andrews soon had a recording contract (合同) with Dream Works Nashville label.Andrews professional career was launched with 1999s Heart Shaped World, recorded when she was 14 years old. The album included the country hit I Will Be There For You, which also appeared on The Prince Of Egypt. She followed up the release of the album by touring as a support act for such country superstars as Faith Hill and Trisha Yearwood.With the release of 2001s Who I Am, Andrews became a star in her own right. The album was certified (证明) gold for sales of 500,000 copies. Andrews returned in April 2003 with Now, an album that she promised would show a new side of the young artist. This album has a very different feeling for me, she said. Its a lot more personal and theres a confidence that wasnt quite there on the first two. I feel especially connected to this group of songs.56. Whats the meaning of the underlined word launched in the fourth paragraph?A. Aimed. B. Sent. C. Started. D. Set.57.

The Prince of Egypt. D. Who I Am.59. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Jessica Andrews Life B. Jessica Andrews DreamC. Jessica Andrews Songs D. Jessica Andrews Success as a SingerBThe brightest object in the evening sky after the sun and the moon isnt a star, but a planet. Its Venus, our closest neighbor and the second planet from the sun.Venus is so bright that you can see it both at night and in the early morning. This caused some confusion for ancient Egyptian (埃及的) and Greek (希腊的) star observers. Because they saw Venus at two different times, they thought it was two different planets.What makes Venus so bright? Huge clouds, 20 miles thick, completely surround it and reflect 75% of the light from the sun that strike them.For a long time, these clouds caused Venus to be a great mystery (谜) to the worlds astronomers. If, like other clouds, the ones on Venus were made up of water vapors (水汽), could there not be life hiding beneath them on the planet? Were there Venusians (金星人) waiting to communicate with us on Earth?It was an exciting thought, but on that the Mariner recently landed to rest. The Mariner thoroughly examined Venus and its atmosphere, only to find that the cloud cover was made mostly of deadly carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) gas. The atmospheric pressure was 15 to 22 times greater than on Earth, which further disproved the theory of life on Venus.Arid what did the Mariner find under the clouds? A world of great mountains and smooth areas, dry as a bone. The temperature is about 900. Thats hot.Although the greatest mystery has been solved, there are still others waiting for us on Venus. Why does Venus rotate (自转) so slowly? What is the inside of Venus like? And most important of all, why is there no water on Venus? If, as it was thought, it was formed about the same time as our planet, it should have water.These questions and others may some day be answered. Until then, Venus will continue to be the brightest mystery in the sky.60. Venus is very bright because _.A. the clouds surrounding it take in 75% of the sunlight striking themB. the clouds surrounding it throw back 3/4 of the sunlight striking themC. 75% of the clouds surrounding it are made up of water vaporD. 3/4 of the clouds surrounding it are made up of carbon dioxide gas61.

What section of a newspaper is the passage probably taken from?A. Scientific Technology B. Science FictionsC. Brief News D. Science & DiscoveryCMost kids go to school during the day and come home to their families or caregivers at night. Sometimes kids cant go home every night so they “board” or live at school during term time.Whatever the reason for going to boarding school, living with a group of people is very different from living with your family. You have to learn to get on with others, be responsible for looking after your own stuff and follow the rules that are there to make everyones life pleasant and safe.The following are some tips from boarders.“Remember that the other new students are probably as shy as you are. If you dont talk first and try to make friends, it may not happen.”“Dont bottle things up inside you. The more you talk, the easier it gets. You can talk to older boarders as well as adults. They understand what you are feeling; theyve been through it too.”“Be respectful of others space and give them privacy. Having people around all the time means you dont get much time to yourself.”“Join sports and other after-school activities. Youll meet lots of new people who are interested in the same things as you. And keeping busy will help you get over feeling homesick.”“If you are a weekly boarder or go home most weekends it can be harder to make friends, so see if you can organize to stay in for a weekend.”“Make friends with non-boarders too. Its good to visit someones home sometimes.”“Boarding has its ups and downs, you get homesick and sometimes the food is not that great but more of the time it is like being in one big family. You make friends that you know youll keep for the rest of your life.”64.

Tips for School StudentsDBad teeth can be painful and worse. They can even be deadly. Infections (感染）of the gums (牙龈）and the teeth can cause bacteria (细菌）to go into the blood system. Those bacteria can increase the chance of a heart attack and worsen the effects of other diseases. And adults arenot the only ones at risk.For example, in 2007, doctors in the Washington area said a boy died when a tooth infection spread to his brain. They said it might have been prevented had he received the dental care (牙齿 保健）he needed. He was twelve years old.Experts at the National Institutes of Health say good dental care starts at birth. Breast milk, they say, is the best food for the healthy development of teeth. Breast milk can help slow the growth of bacteria and acid production in the mouth.But dentists say a babys gums and early teeth should be cleaned after each feeding. Use a cloth with a little warm water. Do the same if a baby is fed with a bottle. Experts say if you decide to put your baby to sleep with a bottle, only give the child water.When baby teeth begin to appear, you can clean them with a wet toothbrush. Dentists say it is important to find soft toothbrushes made especially for babies and to use them very gently.The use of fluoride (氟化物）to protect teeth is common in many parts of the world. For example, it is often added to drinking water supplies. The fluoride mixes with enamel (法琅质)， the hard surface on teeth, to help prevent holes from forming.68.
