BI must have looked deep in thought, or as deep in thought as an 11-year-old man can, when my grandmother glanced up from her weeding to ask, You have something on your mind, dont you?Yes, I was thinking that someday I want to be an Olympic speed skating champion like my hero, Eric Heiden, I want to be a doctor like my parents and I want to help children in Africa.I immediately knew I had confided in the right person when a knowing smile broke across her face. Johann, of course! You can do anything you want to do! she said simply. And with my grandmothers support, I set out to pursue my passions.14 years later, I was well ready to take hold of my first dream: being an Olympic champion. The Olympics in 1994 were in my home country, Norway. As I entered the Olympic stadium, I wasnt the best athlete, and many had doubts about my ability to perform well. But I had something special working for me. I had a woman in the first row who believed in me following my passions just as much as I did. For the first time ever, my grandmother was going to see me skate.It happened. Breaking a world record, I won the gold.As I stood on the podium(领奖台) that I had dreamed about my entire life, a curious question popped into my head. Why me? Why did I win, given all the other incredible petitors out there? The reason had to be more than a grandmother who shared a belief in her grandsons dream. The question led me to only one answer: because I wanted to make a difference in the world, and with all the media attention on my success, I could.I immediately knew what that difference had to be: hope in the lives of the children in Africa. Six months earlier, Id been invited to Eritrea as an ambassador for Olympic Aid.44. When the author spoke out what was on his mind, his grandmother_.A. laughed at himB. supported himC. had no confidence in himD. felt quite surprised45. The author probably realized his first dream at the age of _.A. 20 B. 22C. 25 D. 2846. What will the author tell us in the part following the passage? A. His efforts in helping the African children. B. His hard training in preparing for the next Olympics. C. His successes at other Olympic games. D. His grandmothers attitude towards him.47. The whole passage is mainly about _.A. a young boy who had many dreamsB. the encouragement from a grandmotherC. a sportsman who realized his first dream of helping African childrenD. an Olympic hero who made a difference in the world C Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers concluded that the French tend to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over. According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal. After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Dont Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym. In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity or extreme overweight among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% and is growing.48. In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola? A. They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently. B. They squeeze eating between the other daily activities. C. They regard eating as a key part of their lifestyles. D. They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.49.This text is mainly the relationship between _. A. Americans and the French B. life style and obesity C. children and adults D. fast food and overweight50.The text is mainly developed _. A. by contrast B. by space C. by process D. by classification51.Where does this text probably e from? A. A TV interview B. A food advertisement C. A health report D. A book review DThe Boy Made It!One Sunday, Nicholas, a teenager, went skiing at Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine. In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didnt have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute. Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed out. The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didnt, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could. By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldnt lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he couldhe huddled(蜷缩) in his cave and slept.The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldnt find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls survival show Man vs. Wild. Thats where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode(一期节目)of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.When Grylls heard about Nicholas amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.52. What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?A. He got lostB. He broke his skisC. He hurt his eyes D. He caught a cold53. How did Nicholas keep himself warm?A. He found a shelter.B. He lighted some branches.C. He kept on skiing. D. He built a snow cave.54. On Tuesday, Nicholas _.A. returned to his shelter safelyC. got stuck in the snowB. was saved by a searcherD. starved where he was55.Nicholas left Grylls a very deep impression because he_.A. did the right things in the dangerous situationB. watched Grylls TV program regularlyC. created some tips for survivalD. was very hard-working.第二节 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。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） How to Make FriendsFriendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends.
