here is an inspiring story from eddie arcaro dreamed of becoming the worlds greatest jockey（赛马骑师）. but after watching him ride a horse for five minutes, reality reflected a rough contradiction. he was awkward and clumsy, and in his early years in the saddle（马鞍 ）he couldnt do one thing right.in his first 100 races he never even came close to winning. still, he got right back on and trained again. even as a schoolboy, arcaro had set his own track in life. because he was only a little over five feet tall (1.5 meters) and weighed barely 80 pounds (36kg), the other students picked on him. so he skipped school, hanging out at the local race track where a trainer let him ride horses.his father reluctantly agreed to let him pursue a career as a jockey. the trainer had told him so. “send him back to school,” he said. “hell never be a rider.” in spite of that, arcaro was determined not just to ride, but to become the worlds greatest jockey. but first someone would have to give him a chance. he finally got to ride in a real race. before it was over, hed lost his whip and his cap and had almost fallen off the saddle. by the time he finished the race, the other horses were on their way to the stables（马厩）. hed come in dead last. nevertheless, arcaro went from track to track, looking for any opportunity to ride. finally, a trainer who pitied him took him in and gave him a chance. one hundred losses later, he was still giving him chances. he saw something in this unlucky jockey, something he couldnt define. there were many brushes with death and several broken bones. every time he would return to the saddle. then arcaro began to win. in thirty years of riding, he won 4, 779 races, becoming the only jockey in history to win the kentucky derby five times. by the time he retired in 1962 he was a millionaire and a legend in his own lifetime.21. the underlined phrase “picked on” in the passage probably means _.a. paid attention to b. made fun of c. offered help to d. took special care of 22. the trainer who believed in arcaro gave him chances because _. a. arcaro had shown great talents in horse racing b. he thought all that arcaro needed was a bit of luck c. he had sympathy for arcaro for his unfortunate experiences d. he was impressed by the way arcaro stuck to his dream23. the key message the author wants to convey through the passage is that _. a. a man of words and not of deeds is like a garden full of weeds b. you cant stop the waves, but you can learn how to surf c. winners in life set goals and follow through on themd. life consists not in holding good cards, but in playing well those you hold.24. which of the following would be the most proper title for the passage?

human development depends not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge. movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social positions. children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages; traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders. in the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation（揭示） machine has been equipped in 98 percent of american homes. it is called television. television passes information to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. unable to resist the temptation （诱惑）, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more attractive moving pictures.communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain. children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.28. according to the author, feeling depressed is _. a. a sure sign of a mental problem in a child b. a mental state present in all humans, including children c. something that cannot be avoided in childrens mental development d. something hardly to be expected in a young child29. according to the author, that todays children seem adult-like results from _. a. the widespread influence of television b. the poor arrangement of teaching content c. the fast pace of human scientific development d. the rising standard of living30. what does the author think of communication through print for children? a. it enables children to gain more social information. b. it develops childrens interest in reading and writing. c. it helps children to read and write well. d. it can control what children are to learn.31. what does the author think of the change in todays children? a. he feels their adult-like behavior is so funny. b. he thinks the change worthy of note. c. he considers it a rapid development. d. he seems to be upset about it.d fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that men and animals possess, if they are properly used. if fire did not hurt when it burnt, children would play with it until their hands were burnt away. similarly, if pain existed but fear didnt, a child would burn himself or herself again and again, because fear would not warn himself or herself to keep away from the fire that had burnt himself or herself before. a really fearless soldierand some do exist is not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. fear and pain are therefore two guards without which men and animals might soon die out. in our first sentence we suggested that fear should be properly used. if, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. even in your house you are not absolutely safe: an aeroplane may crash on your house, or ants may eat away some of the beams in your roof so that the latter falls on you, or you may get cancer!the important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead to use fear as your servant and guide. fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take. in many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. for example, you see a car coming straight towards you. fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.in some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. for example, you cant prevent an aeroplane crashing onto your house. in this case, fear has given you its warning; you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.32. children would play with fire until their hands were burnt away if _.a. they were given no warning beforehand b. they had never burnt themselves c. they had no sense of pain d. they were fearful of the fire33. a really fearless soldier _. a. is of great use to the army b. is not a real soldier c. is nothing but a dead soldier d. easily gets killed in a battle34. people sometimes succeed in timely avoiding the danger because _. a. they have gained experience b. they jump out of the way in time c. they are calm in the face of danger d. they are warned of the danger by fear and take quick action35. whats the writers suggestion when the danger cant be avoided? a. you have to try to overcome it. b. fear can really help you to run away.c. fear always helps you stay safe. d. fear is of great use to you.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。dear sir,i have to travel every day from so uk road to the airport. two buses travel along this route: no.49 and no.16. however, by the time no.16 reaches so uk road, its always full.36._ the timetable states that there are buses from so uk road to the airport every ten minutes.37._ the instructions state that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting.38_the instructions state that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. yesterday, i was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. 39._. there were 129 of them.clearly printed on the back of every bus is a sign that says “maximum speed: 50mph.” 40._ saturday morning a no.49 bus travelled the distance in ten minutes, at an average speed of 60mph. at times it must have done at least 80 or even 90 mph. it is obvious that our bus companies have neither respect for the instructions nor consideration for their passengers. can nothing be done about this?
