ever since i was old enough to dream, i have imagined myself soaring with the eagles. my love of flying has shaped the way i live and the person i have become. two years ago, that passion rocketed to new heights when i had the opportunity to visit embry riddle aeronautical university in arizona. for a whole week i lived in a college dorm, roomed with a total stranger and-best of all-i flew! my group took part in activities ranging from learning about the history of aviation (航空) to flying in state-of-the-art pilot training simulators (模拟装置). at least once a day, i devoted myself to learning one of the worlds best training aircrafts, the cessna 182. not only did i receive thorough ground instruction, but i also got to fly. in total, i flew five hours to receive my private pilots license. in that one joyous and oh-so-short week, my passion for aviation grew even stronger. now, whenever i see a plane flying overhead, i feel a sense of pride thinking ive done that. during my time in and above the arizona desert, i learned not only about the mechanics and techniques of aviation, but also about myself and how i see the world. as i floated in that seemingly endless sea of air, i became aware of the variety and complexity of the humanity below. on the ribbons of roadways, each tiny car carried people with hopes and dreams. i wondered if any of those people had ever wished to fly like an eagle. then i realized that each must have his or her own dreams and ambitions. thats what makes us unique. we try to respond to something special inside us. i also realized that i was especially fortunate to be making my own dream come true. everywhere i go, i hear, “do what makes you happy and you will be happy.” it sounds like standard advice, but ive really thought about it and taken it to heart. i couldnt care less about how much money i make or what benefits i receive. i know that i am already in hot pursuit(追逐) of my dreams. and, even if they change, even if they finally dont involve aviation, ill always aim to fly with the eagles. 21. two years ago, the author _. a. was admitted to a university b. stayed in a university for one week c. saw the launch of the rocket d. made good friends with an astronaut22. paragraph 2 is mainly about _.a. which aircraft the author got to fly b. how the author learned to flyc. what the author learned about simulators d. why the author got a pilots license23. according to the author, _ makes people unique. a. flying like an eagle b. trying something special c. having their own dreams d. learning unusual techniquesbalexis, 17, sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dads car. she let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for wildlife. then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them. “dad, theres a deer there!” alexis said. it was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head.as the car moved closer, alexis saw that the deers head was bent toward the ground. then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deers head. alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman. sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. the deer followed her and edged closer. “i knew i was in trouble,” sue says. she went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged. it lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. sue could feel blood flew down her leg. within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road.when alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing sue like a doll. alexis looked into the womans terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer. “i was kicking it to get its attention,” she says. then her father, who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the women.alexis helped sue into the car, and then applied a piece of cloth to sues injured leg. “were going to get you to a hospital,” alexis said. then she heard her father shout loudly. he had been knocked to the ground. alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. she beat the deers head and neck, but the blows didnt scare it away. “i was losing faith,” she says. “a couple more strikes, alexis,” said her father. “you can do it.” turning the hammer around, alexis closed her eyes and beat the deers neck with all her strength. when she opened her eyes, the deer was running away. alexis got in the drivers seat and sped toward the nearest hospital. after sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers. “you expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help,” she says, “not to beat up a deer.” 24. what was sue doing when she was attacked by the deer?a. she was driving home. b. she was resting on the road.c. she was taking exercise.d. she was feeding wild animals.25. what did alexis do to save sue?a. she pushed the deer away. b. she hit the deer with her feet.c. she drove the car to hit the deer. d. she beat the deer

dangerous deer attacked a womanc. a girl rescued her father successfullyd. a teenager saved others from a deer attackcis it worth buying organic food?organic food, grown without artificial chemicals, is increasingly popular nowadays. consumers have been willing to pay up to twice as much for goods with organic labels (商标). however, if you think paying a little more for organic food gets you a more nutritious and safer product, you might want to save your money. a study led by researchers at stanford university says that organic products arent necessarily more nutritious, and theyre no less likely to suffer from disease-causing bacteria, either.the latest results, published in the annuals of internal medicine, suggest that buyers may be wasting their money. “we did not find strong evidence that organic food is more nutritious or healthier,” says dr. crystal smith-spangler from stanford. “so consumers shouldnt assume that one type of food has a lower risk or is safer.”for their new study, smith-spangler and her colleagues conducted a review of two categories of research, including 17 studies that compared health outcomes between consumers of organic against traditional food products, and 223 studies that analyzed the nutritional content of the foods, including key vitamins, minerals and fats.while the researchers found little difference in nutritional content, they did find that organic fruit and vegetables were 20% less likely to have chemicals remaining on the surfaces. neither organic nor traditional foods showed levels of chemicals high enough to go beyond food safety standards. and both organic and traditional meats, such as chicken and pork, were equally likely to be harmed by bacteria at very low rates. the researchers did find that organic milk and chicken contained higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids, a healthy fat also found in fish that can reduce the risk of heart disease. however, these nutritional differences were too small, and the researchers were unwilling to make much of them until further studies confirm the trends.organic food is produced with fewer chemicals and more natural-growing practices, but that doesnt always translate into a more nutritious or healthier product. the u.s. department of agriculture (usda) states that “whether you buy organic or not, finding the freshest foods available may have the biggest effect on taste.” fresh food is at least as good as anything marketed as organic. 28. the new research questions whether organic food _.a. should replace traditional foodb. has been overpriced by farmersc. is grown with less harmful chemicalsd. is really more nutritious and healthier29. smith-spangler and her colleagues found that _.a. organic food could reduce the risk of heart diseaseb. traditional food was grown with more natural methodsc. both organic and traditional food they examined were safed. there was not a presence of any forms of bacteria in organic food30. which of the following is relatively healthier according to the passage?a. organic chicken and pork. b. organic milk and chicken.c. traditional chicken and pork. d. traditional fruit and vegetables.31. what is the authors attitude toward organic food?a. sceptical. b. neutral. c. unconcerned. d. approving.din colleges around the country, most students are also workers.the reality of college can be pretty different from the images presented in movies and television. instead of the students who wake up late, party all the time, and study only before exams, many colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities, but real jobs, too.this isnt a temporary phenomenon. the share of working students has been on the rise since the 1970s, and one-fifth of students work year round. about one-quarter of those who work while attending school have both a full-course load and a full-time job. the arrangement can help pay for tuition (学费) and living costs, obviously. and theres value in it beyond the direct cause: such jobs can also be critical for developing important professional and social skills that make it easier to land a job after graduation. with many employers looking for students with already-developed skill sets, on-the-job training while in college can be the best way to ensure a job later on. but its not all upside. even full-time work may not completely cover the cost of tuition and living expenses. the study notes that if a student worked a full-time job at the federal minimum wage, they would earn just over $15,000 each year, certainly not enough to pay for tuition, room, and board at many colleges without some serious financial aid. that means that though theyre sacrificing time away from the classroom, many working students will still graduate with at least some debt. and working full time can reduce the chance that students will graduate at all, by cutting into the time available for studying and attending classes.there is little reward for attending but not finishing college. students who wind up leaving school because of difficulty in managing work and class are likely to find themselves stuck in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if they hadnt gone at all. the difficulty of working too much while in school can create a cycle that pushes students further into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits.32. according to the passage, the reality of college students is that _. a. they throw parties a lotb. they stay up late every night c. they pay no attention to examsd. they work besides attending classes33. what is the indirect cause of an increasing number of working students? a. the need of developing social networks. b. the lack of summer jobs for young adults. c. the chance of finding a job after graduation. d. the expenses of high tuition and living costs. 34. we can learn from the passage that _. a. working students are more likely to finish college b. students can cover their college expenses through working c. students receive a huge reward for managing work and class d. dropping out of college may not help students get career benefits35. what is the best title for the passage? a. the difficulties of landing a job b. the struggle of work-school balance c. the reward of working while studying d. the images of working college
