it off, or we can decide that the thing presenting the challenge isnt worth the 31 and call it quits. although there are 32 times when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most 33 all that is needed is commitment and 34 . when we are devoted to 35 , it means that no matter how 36 or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to 37 it instead of running away from it.

red-winged blackbirds fell from the sky in an arkansas town on new years eve after massive injuries, tests by arkansas officials concluded on monday. some 5,000 birds mysteriously fell from the sky in beebe, arkansas after dark on new years eve. “the birds suffered from acute physical injuries leading to internal hemorrhage（大量出血） and death. there was no sign of infectious disease,” the arkansas game and fish commission said in a statement. the birds were otherwise healthy, it said.one theory is that birds were frightened by new years fireworks and flew into buildings or other objects. “loud noises were reported shortly before the birds began to fall from the sky,” the statement said, adding that blackbirds have poor night vision and seldom fly at night.another theory was that severe weather such as lightning accounted for the loud noises but this was discounted because the violent weather had already left the area. “were leaning more toward a stress event, said arkansas game and fish commission spokesman keith stephens. the commission also is trying to determine what caused the deaths of up to 100,000 fish over a 20-mile stretch of the arkansas river near a dam in ozark, 125 miles west of beebe. the fish were discovered on december 30. stephens said the commission expected results on the fish tests in probably a month. since almost all the fish were one species - bottom-feeding drum, stephens said, the test was very important. stephens also said: “the events do not appear related.” both that section of the river and the air at the site of the bird deaths were tested for toxins(毒素). beebe is a town of about 4,500 people located 30 miles northeast of the state capital. 40what is not the probable reason why the dead red-winged blackbirds fell from the sky?a. internal hemorrhageb. fireworks c. lightning weatherd. murder41in the third paragraph, the underlined word discounted probably mean_. a. not to reduce costb. not to believe c. to make up a part d. to

analyzing causes b. making comparisonsc. examining differences d. following the time order“our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move,” said david belle, the founder of parkour(跑酷).do you love running? it is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. but what if making your morning jog a creative one? like jumping from walls and over gaps, and ground rolls? just like the james bond in the movie casino royale? bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. it is just because of bonds wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.yes, thats parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. parkour is considered an extreme sport. as its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop. parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds, but its participants see parkour much more than that.overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy(理念) behind parkour. this is the same as life. you must determine your destination, go straight, jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully. a parkour lover said, “i love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything.”another philosophy weve learnt from parkour is freedom. it can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. it is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence. 44 parkour has become popular throughout the world because of .a. its founder, david belleb. the film, casino royalec. its risks and tricksd. the varieties of participants45 the underlined word “obstacles” in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “

sport.47 as its participants move around a city, .a. they can ask for helpb. they may choose to escapec. they should run to extremesd. they must learn to survive48 which of the following is the philosophy of parkour?a. sports and extremes.b. excitement and popularity.c. dreams and success.d. determination and freedom.parents are often amazed at how fast their child grows and develops. new research has determined that the ability to quantify may develop much sooner than most parents realize.kristy vanmarle, professor of the university of missouri, has determined that contrary to what previous studies have shown, infants（婴儿）are able to quantify substances（物质）like sand or wateras early as 10 months. as long as the difference between the two substances is large enough, infants will choose the larger amount, especially when it comes to food.with the assistance of her team researchers, vanmarle tested the quantifying skills of babies by presenting them with two cups: one containing a small amount of food, and one containing a larger amount. consistently, the babies chose the larger amount.“several studies throughout the last 15 years have shown that infants are very good at telling how many objects they see; however, infants dont seem to count things like water or sand,” vanmarle said. “what were saying is that they can quantify substances; its just much harder. the infants can see how much food goes into each cup and compare that in their memories. they decide which amount is larger, and they almost always select the larger one.”this information further refutes（驳斥）the long-held idea that babies “know nothing of the world,” vanmarle said.“since psychologists have begun studying infants with sensitive measures, weve discovered a lot of early abilities. i think for parents, it should be exciting to know that theres somebody in there that has some fundamental and basic knowledge of the world, and that knowledge is guiding their development,” vanmarle said.in the future, vanmarle says this kind of study could be linked to a childs progress in math-related skills, although programs marketed to increase those abilities, such as “baby einstein,” still have mixed reviews when it comes to academic study. 49the quantifying ability refers to the ability to .a. choose between different substancesb. get much knowledge of the worldc. describe the quantity of somethingd. obtain math-related skills50 what is mainly talked about in paragraph 4?a. the process of doing research.b. the scientific findings.c. the final choice of infants.d. the observation of

.a. some parents dont care about their kidsb. people used to think the world is known to babiesc. little research has been done on infantsd. scholars disagree on baby-training programs53 whats the best title of the text?a. breakthrough in baby studiesb. amazing baby-training ideasc. early human abilitiesd. unique quantifying methodsmy first most vivid and broad impression of the identity of things seems to me to have been gained on a memorable raw afternoon towards evening near my parents tomb in the churchyard. “hold your noise!” came a terrible voice, as a man started up from among the tombs at the side of the church. “keep still, you little devil(小鬼), or ill cut your throat!” a fearful man, all in coarse grey, with a great iron on his leg. a man with no hat, and with broken shoes, and with an old rag tied round his head. he seized me by the chin(下巴). “tell us your name!” said the man. “quick!” “pip, sir.” “show us where you live,” said the man. “point out the place!” i pointed to where our village lay, on the flat in-shore among the alder-trees and pollards, a mile or more from the church. the man, after looking at me for a moment, turned me upside down, and emptied my pockets. there was nothing in them but a piece of bread. “you young dog,” said the man, licking his lips, “what fat cheeks you ha got. darn me if i couldnt eat em, and if i hant half a mind tot!”i earnestly expressed my hope that he wouldnt, and held tighter to the tombstone on which he had put me; partly, to keep myself upon it; partly, to keep myself from crying.“now then lookee here!” said the man. “wheres your mother?”“there, sir!” said i.he started, made a short run, and stopped and looked over his shoulder.“there, sir!” i timidly explained, pointed to the tombstone. “thats my mother.”“oh!” said he, coming back. “and is that your father alonger your mother?”“yes, sir,” said i; “him too; late of this parish(教区).”54 the “voice” in the second paragraph came from_.a. the churchb. the manc. the bankd. the boy55the boy probably lived _.a. in the parishb. in the valleyc. in the cityd. in the country56we can infer from the passage _.a. the boy was very calm and smartb.
