What makes all of these especially unusual is that Ruggiero,24,has only one leg. When he was a 19-year-old musical theater student at New Jerseys Montclair State University, Ruggiero had a rare bone cancer in his right leg. Finally his leg would have to be amputated（截）below the knee. Such a setback could have easily ended the career of a less tough person, but Ruggiero ,who has been dancing since he was five, now puts the experience into his performance. His show, TheOne-Legged Song and Dance Man: Volume 3,explains how he returned to dance just 18 months after the amputation. His dance now relies on the use of a peg leg(假肢),he explains. The secret to his surprising success, he says, was being a stubborn patient who refused to give up on his dance and performing studies, despite the advice of his doctor. It was a real setback, but after it was all over, I said, You know what? I need to pick up rightwhere I left off and continue my career, Ruggiero said. Ruggiero has come to view his peg leg as an instrument. Tap dancers-theyre always callingthemselves musicians, and their feet are their instrument, he said. Noting that many audience members will never have seen a one-legged dancer before coming to his show, Ruggiero says he wont shy away from the physical weakness his performance shows because of his condition. A lot of people have come up to me, and they always say, Youre such a role model and aninspiration, he said. Im honored when people say that, of course, but Im just trying to get on with my life.21.

Pity B Four Must-See Route 66( 66号公路) Attractions The United States is full of odd roadside attractions. Route 66 is home to some of the oldest and most known attractions of them all. Here are four attractions you should see along the Mother Road: 1. Paul Bunyan and a Hot Dog Route 66 travelers pass by many fiberglass giants(巨人 ) right along the road. These giants were a popular form of advertising in the 1960s. Many of them stood in front of service stations. They held carparts, such as mufflers. The collection of Route 66 giants became known as Muffler Men. Businesses hoped the strange statues would get travelers attention. The first fiberglass giant was a Paul Bunyan figure, built in the early 1960s. Its said that Paul Bunyan is a famous wood worker. 2. Crown Candy Kitchen and Jamaica Ray Crown Candy Kitchen has been serving Route 66 travelers from the very beginning. It is just a few short shop opened more than 100 years ago, and has been making candies and meals ever since. On weekends, people sometimes wait in line for a table at Crown Candy for over an hour. Luckily there is free entertainment right outside. Jamaica Ray, a local folk artist, creates unusual sculptures. 3. The Worlds Largest Rocking Chair Fanning, Missouri, is home to one of the strangest Route 66 attractions. Just off the road sits an almost 13-meter-tall rocking chair. The structure was completed in 2008 0n the first of April, or April Fools Day. At one time the chair actually rocked. But officials decided it had to be still to be safe for ever. People are not permitted to climb the chair. We think, however, that it probably happens once in a while when no one is watching. 4. Big Texans Steak Challenge Few places better represent the common expression Everythings Bigger in Texas than the Big Texan Steak Ranch. Since 1960,it has appealed to travelers with big appetites and a big love of beef. It is hard to miss the huge yellow restaurant-or the giant cow statue that sits out front. The cow advertises Big Texans special deal, and what has made this steak ranch famous: a free 72-ounce(英两 ) or 2-kilogram steak. There is one trick: the steak is only free if you can eat the entire thing in one hour. A special table is in the middle of the restaurant for the daring diners who accept the challenge. Since 1990,more than 9,000 diners have eaten the entire 2-kilogram steak.25.What was considered as Muffler Men? A. Hot Dog B. Jamaica Ray C. Car parts D.

CWorld Book Day is a celebration of all things wonderful about books for all ages, with author events, school fancy-dress parades（游行）and a 1 book token（购书券）given to all school children under 18. It is a yearly event on 23rd April, organized by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization ( UNESCO ), to promote reading. In the United Kingdom, the day is recognized on the first Thursday in March. On 3rdMarch 2016 children of all ages in the UK will come together to appreciate reading. Sometimes, reading a modern novel can be tough ( Booker Prize winner The Luminaries runs to 832 pages! ), especially if reading is not your strong suit. In fact, one in six people in the UK never pick up a book because theyve experienced difficulties or are out of the habit of reading for pleasure. The Galaxy Quick Reads series are designed to introduce reluctant readers to bestselling short funny novels, which bring the joy of reading without demanding hours of concentrated time. They cover a range of subjects, from romance to comedy. Jojo Moyess Paris For One is a romantic adventure in which 26-year-old Nell books a weekend away to Paris with her lazy, neglectful boyfriend. When he fails to turn up, she is alone in the city. That is, until she meets Fabien, who shows her the charms of the French capital - in more ways than one.

D Try rubbing (摩擦 ) the tip of your finger backwards and forwards very quickly on your coat or a blanket. It should become hot. In cold weather we sometimes rub our hands together to make them warm. The rubbing of two together which causes heat is called friction(摩擦 力). In the same way, people who lived in caves rubbed a piece of wood shaped like a pencil on another piece of wood with dried leaves or grass packed nearby. The heat set the leaves or grass alight. This was a difficult way of making fire. Better ways were found by using flint(火石),but it was not until 1827 that the first matches were made in England. Chemists made up a mixture and put it on an end of a stick or match. The mixture contained a small amount of phosphorous (磷),a chemical that bursts into flame when heated slightly. The other chemicals then caught fire and burned less fiercely until the wood was alight. By rubbing the end of the match, on sandpaper, the friction easily set the phosphorous alight. These first matches could also be struck on other rough surfaces, including the leather sole(底)of a shoe. At the time, everyone thought this was a wonderful invention. Unfortunately accidents happened. A whole box of matches would suddenly catch fire if it was heated. Imagine this happening to someone warming themselves by a fire with a box of matches in his or her pocket! Even loose matches in a handbag or pocket could rub together and catch fire. What was needed was a match that would only light if struck on a special surface. In 1852,thesafety match was invented in Sweden. No phosphorous was used in the match head-it was put on the outside of the matchbox instead. This made it impossible for the match to light unless it was rubbed along the box on the special surface which contained sandpaper mixed with a little phosphorous.33.Why did people use dried leaves or grass to pack another piece of wood? A. The leaves or grass is easy to be alight. B. The leaves or grass covered the wood well. C. The leaves or grass help the air cause heat. D. The leaves or grass acted as the role of match.34.What did the chemists make the match of in 1827? A. Leather sole, sandpaper and leaves. B. Wood, leather sole and sandpaper. C. Phosphorous, wood and sandpaper. D. Phosphorous , sandpaper and flint.35. If we used the safety match, we could see A. loose matches could catch fire fiercely B. phosphorous wasnt needed inside matchboxes C. there were matches and sandpaper in matchboxes D. the special surface containing sandpaper and phosphorous第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The Lost Rules of EtiquetteEtiquette, or good manners, used to be the glue that held society together. 36 Sadly, these days it has mostly gone by the wayside. This list is several best rules of etiquette that have now disappeared. Opening the Door In days gone by, a gentleman would always open doors for ladies. 37 This h8s now almost entirely disappeared-and it is pot entirely the fault of the men. I have seen women laugh at men for opening a door for them. They seem to be confusing manners with chauvinism(大男子主义) Writing Thank-You Notes In days gone by, whenever a person received a gift, they would write a thank-you note as soon as possible. 38 Parents would sit children down after a birthday or Christmas and coach them in their first thank-you note. It is a shame that gift giving has now become a virtual obligation and the idea of a thank-you note would be laughed at. 39 We seem to have completely lost the concept of correct timing when it comes to parties these days. 40 After all, a party normally has a guest of honor-this is usually the oldest woman present. It was considered extremely rude in the past to leave a party before the guest of honor-and once the guest of honor left, it was a signal to all that they should begin their own preparations to leave.A. Arriving on Time.B. Leaving at the Right Time.C. People leave with various excuses.D. It enabled people to get on well、with each other.E. This rule was true even if the giver was a relative.F. It could be the lady they were driving, or a stranger.G. Weve thrown away the concept of a guest of honor at will.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分55分）第一节 完形填空 (共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。My heart story started when I was 13 years old.
