produced an unusual exhibition. one visitor wrote that “it holds itself up to any adult exhibition”.scott futher,17, a graduating student of the school in baden ,said, “we are glad we could do that. it is a unique theme and we love it.” the theme is doors and the artworks are on doors of all shapes and sizes. some are as old as 100 years, while others are relatively new. that is where the similarities end. each of the 51 students (therefore,51 doors)has given a unique theme to their doors. futhers theme is “time kills” and shows how precious time is. “the challenge was with making the hourglass rotate(旋转)，”，said futher, who wants to study art in university.and a sentence carved on the door says it all, “if one door closes, more open.” “the theme of doors symbolizes what is ahead for the students,” said varey, visual arts head at the school. “one door is closing for them(the students graduate this year),but many more will open forthem.” varey, who is fiercely proud of the class, said he knew the students would do a great job. “when i told them the theme in september, they were more excited than worried. i knew their doors would tell many stories.”“as the word got around ,people helped us hunt down doors,” said alex lakic, another student. she got her door from her grandmothers friend. varey says he likes how the project brought the community together. but just not any door would do. the students needed doors that had interesting shapes and character.the research that went into each theme helped educate the teens, who say they have understood each other more since the project began. tiffani wheeler, the curator(馆长)at the house, said, “the work shows the students talent and creativity. its advanced for teens. you would think they are skillful artists.”56.from paragraph 1 ,we learn that in the visitors opinion the exhibition is most probably .a.disappointing b.great c.just so-so d.too common57.what can we know from paragraph 2 ?a.no two doors are of the same age. b.the doors look like each other.c.each door has its own theme. d.each door has an hourglass on it.58.by the theme of doors, varey wants to tell the students .a.to value time b.that each door tells a storyc.to be hopeful about the future d.that life is full of mysteries59.what does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 suggest?a.newly made doors couldnt be chosen.b.students couldnt select doors from their own home.c.not all the people from the community helped find doors.d.only doors with interesting shapes and character could be chosen.b ellen macarthur started sailing when she was eight, going out on sailing trips with her aunt. when she was 18 , she sailed alone around britain and won the “young sailor of the year” award.but ellen really became famous in 2001.aged only 24 , she was one of only two women who entered the vendee globe round the world solo race, which lasts 100 days. despite many problems, she came second in the race out

the atlantic in 1997,alone for 33 days. ellen has had to learn many things, because sailing single-handed means that she has to be her own captain, electrician, sail maker, engineer, doctor, journalist, camera-man and cook. she also has to be very fit, and because, of the dangers of sleeping for long periods of time she is in the middle of the ocean , she has trained herself to sleep for about 20 minutes at a time. and she needs courage. once, in the middle of the ocean, she had to climb the mast(桅杆) of a boat to repair the sails at four oclock in the morning ,with 100 kph winds blowing around her. it took her many hours to make the repairs. ellen says: “i was exhausted when i came down. its hard to describe how it feels to be up there. its like trying to hold onto a big pole, with someone kicking you all the time and trying to shake you off.” but in her diary, ellen also describes moments which make it all worthwhile: “a beautiful sunrise started the day, with black clouds slowly lit by the bright yellow sun. i have a very strong feeling of pleasure, being out here on the ocean and having the chance to live this. i just feel lucky to be here.”60.in the vendee globe race, ellen won .a.a gold medal b.the “best women sailor” awardc.the second place d.the “young sailor of the year ”award61.ellen lived in a kind of hut for three years .a.because she was
