Several times, it 36 several obstacles（障碍） in its path. And after a momentary pause it would make the necessary detour (绕道). 37 one point, the ant had to cross a crack about 10mm wide. After some 38 thoughts, the ant laid the feather over the crack, walked 39 it and picked the feather up on the other side, then continued on its way. I was 40 by the cleverness of this ant. It was only a small insect, lacking in 41 yet equipped with a brain to reason, explore, discover and overcome. 42 this ant, like the other two-legged creatures 43 on the earth, also shares human failings.After some time the ant 44 reached its destination - a flower bed and a small hole that was the entrance to its 45 home. It was there that the ant met its 46 . How could that large feather possibly 47 such a small hole? Of course, it couldnt. So the ant, after all this 48 and using great brightness, overcoming problems a1l along the way, just gave up the 49 and went home. The ant had not thought the problem through 50 it began its journey and in the end the feather was 51 more than a burden. Isnt our 52 like that?We worry about our families; we worry about the 53 of money; and we worry about all kinds of things. These are all burdens - the things we pick up along lifes path, and drag them around the obstacles and over the cracks that life will bring, only to 54 that at the destination they are 55 and we cant take them with us.36Amade upBgot overCcame acrossDturned over37AAtBForCTo DWith38Abrave Boutstanding Cpositive Dshort39Aacross Bthrough Cbeside Dbehind40Asuspected Battracted Cbothered Dinspired41Asize Bheight Cweight Dlength42ATherefore BBut CMoreover DOtherwise43Aworking Bsleeping C1iving Dwalking44Aunwillingly Bentirely Caccurately Dfinally45Aunderground Bprevious Ccomfortable Dcasual46Apartner Bmatch Cparent Dfriend47Afit Bfix Csuit Dfill 48Adecision Bpleasure Ctrouble Dmatter49Ainsect Bproblem Chole Dfeather50Aafter Buntil Cbefore Donce51Anothing Banything Csomething Deverything52Astudy Baim Cdream D1ife53Awaste Black Cworth Ddanger54Apredict Bfind Cjudge Dinspect55Abeneficial Bconservative Cuseless Dconventional第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。AThe Peales were a famous family of American artists. Charles Willson Peale is best remembered for his portraits of leading figures of the American Revolution. He painted portraits of Franklin and Jefferson and over a dozen of George Washington. His life-size portrait of his sons Raphaelle and Titian was so realistic that George Washington reportedly once tipped his hat to the figures in the picture. Charles Willson Peale gave up painting in his middle age and devoted his life to the Peale museum, which he founded in Philadelphia. The worlds first popular museum of art and natural science mainly covered paintings by Peale and his family as well as displays of animals in their natural settings. Peale found the animals himself and found a method to make the exhibits more lifelike. The museums most popular display was the skeleton of a huge, extinct elephant, which Peale unearthed on a New York farm in 1801. Three of Peales seventeen children were also famous artists. Raphaelle Peale often painted still lives of flowers, fruit, and cheese. His brother Rembrandt studied under his father and painted portraits of many noted people, including one of George Washington. Another brother, Rubens Peale, painted mostly landscapes and portraits. James Peale, the brother of Charles Willson Peale, specialized in miniatures (小画像). His daughter Sarah Miriam Peale was probably the first professional female portrait painter in America.56. What is the main topic of the passage?A. The life of Charles Willson Peale.B. Portraits in the 18th century. C. The Peale Museum.D. A family of artists.57. The author mentions in Paragraph 1 that Washington tipped his hat to the figures in the painting to show that _. A. Charles Willson Peales painting was very lifelike B. Washington respected Charles Willson Peales work C. Washington was friendly with Raphaelle and Titian Peale D. the painting of the two brothers was very large58. The underlined word “unearthed” is closest in meaning to“ _”. A. showed B. dug up C. invented D. looked over59. The authors attitude toward the Peales is in general _.A. puzzled B. excited C. admiring D. disappointedBNew York TimesThe already crazed competition for admission to the nations most famous universities and colleges became even more intense this year, with many recording the lowest acceptance rates.Harvard College, for example, offered admission to only 7.1 percent of the 27,462 high school seniors who applied or, put another way, it rejected 93 of every 100 applicants, many with extraordinary achievements, like a perfect score on one of the SAT exams. Yale College accepted 8.3 percent of its 22,813 applicants. Both rates were records.Columbia College admitted 8.7 percent of its applicants, Brown University and Dartmouth College about 13 percent, and Bowdoin College and Georgetown University 18 percent also records. “We love the people we admitted, but we also love a very large number of the people who we were not able to admit,” said William R. Fitzsimmons, dean (主任) of admissions and financial aid at Harvard College.Some colleges said they placed more students on their waiting lists than in recent years, in part because of uncertainty over how many admitted students would decide to enroll . Harvard and Princeton stopped accepting students through early admission this academic year; that meant that more than 1,500 students who would have been admitted in December were likely to have applied to many famous schools in the regular round.Many factors contributed to the tightening of the competition at the most selective colleges, admissions deans said. The number of high school graduates in the nation has grown each year over the last decade and a half, experts estimate that the figure will reach the highest point this year or next, which might reduce the competition a little.Other factors were the ease of online applications, expanded financial aid packages, an ambitious students applying to ever more colleges.60.

Keeping a sense of humor helps tooit reduces stress and helps creative thinking.In a wide open area, make a colorful cross out of rocks to show your present position.Choking Aim to hit the top of the chair against your stomach, in the soft part below the bony upside-down V of the ribs（肋骨）. Make a sudden push against the chair. If you still cant breathe after six tries, call 911, even if you cant talk. Write the word choking somewhere nearby, and leave the line open until help arrives.Severe bleedingUse your hand or clean cotton, or paper towels, or a scarf, or any cloth you can find, and push down on the wound until the bleeding stops.

That invites an attack. Instead, stand up and back away slowly, without looking the bear in the eyes. If it does charge at you, stick out your chest, raise your arms, and spread your legs. Shout at the bear, to frighten it. If its going to attack, lie facedown, with your handsheld firmly behind your neck. Play dead until youre sure the bear is gone.63.

Just possibly, she may be the wisest woman on this planet. Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they havent thought about it, dont have it on their schedule, dont know it is coming or are too strict to depart from their routine.I cant count the times I called my sister and said, “How about going to lunch in half an hour?” She would gasp and stammer (结结巴巴地说), “I cant. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known it yesterday, I had a late breakfast, and it looks like rain.” And my personal favorite response: “Its just Monday.” She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together. From then on, Ive tried to be a little more flexible.Life has a way of going faster as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises made to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all have to show for our lives is repetition of “Im going to” , “I plan on” and “Someday, when things are settled down a bit.”When anyone calls my “seize the moment” friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious. You talk with her for five minutes, and youre ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Rollerblades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord.My lips have not touched ice cream in 10 years . I love ice cream. The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happily.Now . go on and have a nice day.
