The chief engineer got up at once, and with a short excuse, left the dining room. We thought that there had been an accident or that a fire had broken out. We soon noticed that the ship was slowing down, and then, with a sudden violent motion, it began to turn around. Some of the passengers stopped eating and rushed up to the deck (甲板). Others crowded around the ship windows and we finally joined the watchers.It turned out that one of the sailors had seen a man in the ocean some distance from the ship. The captain had then ordered the ship to be turned around at once. A lifeboat had already been lowered into the water. In it were four sailors, an officer and the ships doctor. About two hundred yards away, the man was seen holding on something that looked like a broken part of a small fishing boat.The lifeboat finally reached the man, and he was then pulled into the boat. Why, then, was the man floating (飘浮) on the ocean？He had missed the ship and decided to try to catch it in his fishing boat, and he made it!56. From the passage we can learn that the officer actually told the chief engineer that there was _.A. an accident B. a fire C. a man in the ocean D. some passengers on the deck57. How many people were there in the lifeboat in the be-ginning?A. Four. B. Five. C. Six. D. Seven.58.

The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means _.A. he finally succeeded B. he made all this trouble C. he made the fishing boat himself D. he made this jokeB The first ancient Olympic Games for which we still have written records were held in 776 BC. Coroebus won the only event at the Olympics. This made him the very first Olympic champion in history. Then they grew and continued to be played every four years. In 393 AD, the Roman emperor Theodosius I, a Christian, announced to end the Games because of their pagan (异教的) influences. About 1,500 years later, a young Frenchman named Pierre de Coubertin began their revival (恢复). In 1892 Cou-bertin first brought forward his idea to revive the Olympic Games but failed.Two years later, Coubertin organized a meeting with 79 delegates (代表) who represented nine countries. At this meeting he got what he wanted. All the delegates at the con-ference voted for the Olympic Games. They also decided to have Coubertin set up an international committee to organize the Games. This committee became the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and Demetrious Vikelas from Greece was selected to be its first president. Athens was chosen for the revival of the Olympic Games and the planning was begun.The very first modern Olympic Games opened in the first week of April, 1896. Since the Greek government had been unable to afford a stadium, a rich Greek architect, Georgios Averoff, donated one million drachmas (over $100,000) to repair the Panathenaic Stadium, originally built in 330 BC.Since the Games were not well publicized internation-ally, contestants (选手) were not nationally chosen but rather came individually and at their own expense. Some contestants were tourists who happened to be in the area during the Games.60. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The history of the OlympicsB. How Coubertin set up IOCC.

At the first modern Olympic Games, _.A. winners were given money as prize B. IOC invited contestants to tour Greece C. there were no strict rules for being a contestantD. many countries chose some athletes to competeC The Leshan Giant Buddha is a statue of Maitreya (弥勒佛雕像) in sitting posture. The Buddha is located in Sichuan Province, facing three rivers Min River, Qingyi River, and Dadu River. In December, 1996, the Buddha was included by UNESCO on the list of the World Heritage (世界遗产录).The statue was begun in the year 713 in the Tang Dynasty, and finished in the year 803. The Buddha is 71 meters high. The eight-meter-long instep (脚背) is big enough for one hundred people to sit on and the 28-meter-wide shoulder is large enough to be a basketball playground.A monk called Hai Tong is connected with the Buddha forever. At that time, wild waters brought out many boat accidents and people just put the disaster down to the presence of a water spirit. So Hai Tong decided to make a statue beside the river thinking that the Buddha would bring the water spirit under control. After 20 years begging from door to door, he finally collected enough money for the plan. When some local government officials tried to get this amount of money, Hai Tong said that they could get his eyeball but not the money raised for the Buddha. After he dug out his eyeball, these officials ran away scared. The project was half done when Hai Tong passed away, and two of his disciples (门徒) continued the work. After a total of 90 years hard work, the project was finally completed.Having such a long history, the Buddha was nearly destroyed by the wind and rain. The Chinese government began the repairing work in 1963 under the instruction of experts from UNESCO.64. Hai Tong hoped to build the statue to _.A. make his temple more famousB. show respect to the water spiritC. protect the safety of the local peopleD. get more people to believe in Buddhism65. How did Hai Tong get the money for the Buddha?A. By calling for donation.B. By working on the river.C. By asking the government.D. By selling his eyeball.66.

In this passage, Hai Tong can be best described as _.A. generous B. cruel C. easy-going D. long-sufferingD One of the greatest runners of the 20th Century, Emil Ztopek reigned long-distance running from 1948 until 1954 when he won a remarkable 38 consecutive (连续的) 10,000-meter races. He set 18 world records over various distances including every record from 5K to 30K, and won four Olympic gold medals and one silver.Emil Ztopek was born in Koprivnice, Czechoslovakia on September 19, 1922. At age 16 he began working at the Bata shoe factory in Ziln. In 1940 Bata sponsored (赞助) a 1,500 m race, and he was persuaded to enter even though he had no training. It turned out that Emil finished second and he began to take a serious interest in the sport.Emil made his Olympic debut (初次上场) at the 1948 London Games. Though with little international racing experience, he won the 10,000 and was second in the 5,000.Emil married Dana Ingrova, fellow Czech team member shortly after the Olympics. Dana and Emil shared the same birthday, September 19th, and they married on that day in 1948.In 1952 at the Helsinki Olympics Emil achieved the impossible. Despite a doctors warning that he shouldnt compete because of a serious infection two months before, he won the 5,000 m, the 10,000 m and the marathon, all within only eight days! He set a new Olympic record in all these events, and he had never run a marathon before! On the same day as his 5,000-meter victory, his wife, Dana, won the Olympic javelin (标枪) contest.In 1998 Emil was awarded the Order of the White Lion, a national honor presented to him by Czech President Vaclav Havel.68.

Knowing what seems like simple facts can save your life. Even the most experienced can fall prey (牺牲品) to nature when they least expect it.When traveling or playing in the heat there are some basics everyone should think about. First remember the higher in altitude the closer you are to the sun and the less protective the atmosphere is. So just because the mountains seem cool does not mean the sun cannot hurt you. And there are places like the desert where the sun and heat are extremely powerful. Getting caught in the desert and other extreme environments without enough water can be deadly. Exposing (暴露) your skin to the sun for hours can also cause serious burns.Keeping hydrated (有水分的) is a major concern. You will want to have plenty of water on hand. The amount of water you will need is going to depend on several factors: How hot it is going to be where you are traveling and how much activity you are going to be doing. A biker traveling across Arizonas hot, open roadways is going to need more water than somebody traveling by car across the same high- way.Protect your body by wearing wide-brimmed hats and cool, loose clothing. Keep arms and shoulders covered. Wear sun block (防晒霜) and do not over do it. Take rests often. Do not push your body beyond its limits in extreme heat. You will not like the results.72. The underlined part in the first paragraph probably means _.A. you may pay some money for traveling in the out-doorsB. it does you good to make preparations for an outdoor travelC. you will be paid if you prepare for an adventure travelD. preparing for a travel will cost you a lot of money73. If you travel in the heat, you should _.A. go to the cool mountainsB. leave your skin to the sun in the desertC. wear loose clothes and keep your body coveredD. try to walk as fast as possible without a stop74. If you fall prey to nature, you will _.A. be harmed or killed by natureB. be attracted by natureC. be frightened by natureD. be impressed by nature75. The passage is mainly about how to _.A. save yourself in an adventure travelB. share traveling experience with othersC. deal with heat and the sun when travelingD. find interesting places for adventure travel第四部分： 写作第一节：填空阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在文后第76至第85小题的空格处填上适当的单词或短语。As you know, homework is a major part of school life. Luckily, there are several things you can do to make home-work less work.Most high school students have between two and three hours of homework a night. If it is a heavy homework day, you may need to devote even more time. It is a good idea to come up with some kind of homework plan, especially if you are going to do other activities after school.A bedroom, study or any room where you can get away from noise is the best place to get homework done. But dont study on your comfortable bed you might fall asleep there.When you start your homework, do the hardest work first. Some people like to start with the easiest thing to get it out of the way, but youll have the most energy and focus when you begin. Its best to use this mental power (脑力) on the subjects that are most challenging. Most peoples attention spans (持续时间) dont last very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without stretching or relaxing will make you less productive. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good idea for most people. Sometimes even though youre paying attention in class, certain subjects seem too hard. The first place to turn to for help is your teachers. Sometimes your parents can help you. You may also be able to get some help from other stu-dents or a personal tutor (家教).Get homework done wellMethodsAdvantagesS
