But Lola Walter, a 13-year-old gymnast, is an expert at it. To perfect her skills, Lola _41_ for four hours a day, five days a week. At the state championships in March, she finished seventh out of 16 girls. Thats especially impressive, _42_ she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift constantly. She often sees double and cant _43_ how far away things are. When she was little, her mom _44_ that even though she couldnt see _45_, she was fearless. So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the _46_ right away and gymnastics became her favorite. Though learning gymnastics has been more _47_ for her than for some of her teammates, she has never quit (放弃). She doesnt let her _48_ stop her from doing anything that she wants to. She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest _49_ is the balance beam. Because she has double vision, she often sees two beams. She must use her sense of touch to help her during her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to _50_ your mind that itll take you where you want to go.” says Lola. To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most _51_ for anyone because its four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didnt fall _52_ the beam. In fact, she got an 8. 1 out of 10 her highest score yet. Lola doesnt want to be _53_ differently from the other girls on her team. At the competitions, the judges dont know about her vision _54_. She doesnt tell them, because she doesnt think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her _55_ attitude. Lola never thinks about _56_. She is presently at level 7 while the highest is level 10 in gymnastics. Her _57_ is to reach level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to pass down what shes learned to other kids _58_ she grew up. Lola is _59_ of all her hard work and success.

My tooth was aching, and Id been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt：“The trouble with you is that you wont put yourself in my place. Cant you see things from my point of view?” I shook my head stubbornlyand felt the ache in my tooth. Id thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunch time, I got lucky. “If you come by right now,” the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car. But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice? Why wasnt he as busy as the others?In the dentists office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one. When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Dont worry. The dentist is very good. ”“How long do I have to wait for him?” I asked impatiently. “Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork,” the assistant said. “The artwork?” I was puzzled. The chair went back, suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it: on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was! At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words. What a relief!61. Which of the following best describes the authors feeling that morning? A. Happy. B. Nervous. C. Satisfied. D. Upset. 62. What made the author begin to doubt about the dentist?A. The dentists agreeing to treat her at very short notice. B. The dentists being as busy as the other dentists. C. The surroundings of the dentists office. D. The laughing assistant of the dentist. 63. What did the author learn from her experience most probably?A. Strike while the iron is hot. B. Have a good word for ones friend. C. Put oneself in others shoes. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed. BImagination and fantasy can play an important role in achieving the things we fear. Children know this very well. Fred Epstein, in his book If I Make It to Five, tells a story he heard from one of his friends about Tom, a four-year-old boy with a cancer in his back bone. He came through several operations and a lot of pain by mastering his imagination. Tom loved to pretend, and he particularly loved to play superheroes. Dr. Epstein explained that it was actually a brilliant way for his young mind to handle the terrifying and painful life he led. The day before his third trip to the operating room, Tom was terribly afraid. “Maybe I could go as Superman,” he whispered to his mom. Hearing this, the mother hesitated for a while. She had avoided buying the expensive costume (戏装), but finally she agreed. The next day Tom appeared as the powerful Superman, showing off through the hospital halls and coolly waving his hand to the people greeting him along the way. And Tom, with the strength of his fantasy, successfully made it through the operation. The power of imagination need not be reserved for children only. We all have the power to use our fantasies to attempt things we never thought possible, to go through those things that seem impossible, and to achieve what we never believed we could. Just as Dr. Epstein puts it, “If you can dream it, you can do it.”It doesnt mean that you should dress as a superhero for your next job interview. But, next time you are tested in a way that seems impossible, imagine what it would take to overcome it. Become the person you need to become to win over your challenge (挑战) and do it in your mind first. So, let your imagination run wild, and dare to dream.64. What do we know about Tom?A. He was seriously illB. He was a dishonest boy. C. He was crazy about magic. D. He was Dr. Epsteins patient. 65. What can be inferred about Toms mother?A. She was a rich lady. B. She wanted to get Tom through the pain. C. She wanted Tom to be a superhero. D. She refused Toms request. 66. In the last paragraph, you are advised _. A. to go through some difficult testsB. to wake up from your wild dreamsC. to become a powerful person in your mindD. to wear expensive clothes for job interviews67. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To tell us an interesting story. B. To help us make right decisions. C. To advise us to care about children. D. To encourage us to use our imagination. CFor some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of the population is what scientists call “amusic.” People who are amusic are born without the ability to recognize or reproduce musical notes (音调). Amusic people often cannot tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are very far apart on the musical scale. As a result, songs sound like noise to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their inability to enjoy music set them apart from others. It can be difficult for other people to identify with their condition. In fact, most people cannot begin to grasp what it feels like to be amusic. Just going to a restaurant or a shopping mall can be uncomfortable or even painful. That is why many amusics intentionally stay away from places where there is music. However, this can result in withdrawal and social isolation. “I used to hate parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only recently discovered that she was amusic. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are finally learning how to identify this unusual condition. Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who can appreciate music. The difference is complex, and it doesnt involve defective hearing. Amusics can understand other nonmusical sounds well. They also have no problems understanding ordinary speech. Scientists compare amusics to people who just cant see certain colors. Many amusics are happy when their condition is finally diagnosed. For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about her problem with music. Now she knows that she is not alone. There is a name for her condition. That makes it easier for her to explain. “When people invite me to a concert, I just say, No thanks, Im amusic,” says Margaret. “I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.” 68. Which of the following is true of amusics?A. Listening to music is far from enjoyable for them. B. They love places where they are likely to hear music. C. They can easily tell two different songs apart. D. Their situation is well understood by musicians. 69. According to paragraph 3, a person with “defective hearing” is probably one who _. A. dislikes listening to speechesB. can hear anything nonmusicalC. has a hearing problemD. lacks a complex hearing system70. In the last paragraph, Margaret expressed her wish that _. A. her problem with music had been diagnosed earlierB. she were seventeen years old rather than seventyC. her problem could be easily explainedD. she were able to meet other amusics71. What is the passage mainly concerned with?A. Amusics strange behaviours. B. Some peoples inability to enjoy music. C. Musical talent and brain structure. D. Identification and treatment of amusics. DUsing too much water or throwing rubbish into our rivers are clear ways that humans can put our water supply in danger, but we also affect our water supply in less obvious ways. You may wonder how paving (铺砌) a road can lead to less useable fresh water. A major part of the water we use every day is groundwater. Groundwater does not come from lakes or rivers. It comes from underground. The more roads and parking lots we pave, the less water can flow into the ground to become groundwater. Human activity is not responsible for all water shortages (短缺). Drier climates are of course more likely to have droughts (干旱) than areas with more rainfall, but in any case, good management can help to make sure there is enough water to meet our basic needs . Thinking about the way we use water every day can make a big difference, too. In the United States, a family of four can use 1.5 tons of water a day! This shows how much we depend on water to live, but theres a lot we can do to lower the number. You can take steps to save water in your home. To start with, use the same glass for your drinking water all day. Wash it only once a day. Run your dishwasher (洗碗机) only when it is full. Help your parents fix any leaks (裂缝) in your home.
