She continued to swim, realizing her head was hurting and her body was starting to get numb. Breathing became _37_for her and her vision wasnt so _38_. She saw the life guard and a couple of other people near the pool,_39_she decided that there was no sense in embarrassing herself or _40_anyone. She continued ,and soon she found herself in the middle of the pool. She was na bit worried,but by pushing herself she _41_made it to the other side of the pool. As she stood in the shallow water, her body swayed back and forth, _42_ she needed help but unable to even say anything,she _43_against the pool side and stood there. Several minutes later she had enough _44_ to barely pull her body up out of the pool. Sittingon the side of the pool with her feet in the water she felt the lifeguard was _45_ at her. June nodded at himto let him know that she was _46_. Have you ever been in _47_ and chosen not to ask for help? Weve all been there. One suggestion is to _48_your instincts and seek anothers aid. There is nothing _49_ with that,or June could have drowned. Perhaps you find yourself _50_ help because youre afraid youll be _51_. Please, stop and ask for help before you find yourself “drowning”.Life has many ups and downs. Let others help you when are down. When you find yourself _52_ to “keep your head above water,” stop,look around and listen. In such a situation, if you _53_, well almost certainly slip further into trouble. Always take _54_ to listen to your body and be _55_ to yourself. Youll find the journey of life happier and more fulfilling.36AtiredBrelievedCenergeticDsympathetic37Apossible BproperCdiffcultDunnecessary38AbroadBclearCterribleDdisappointing39AifBbecauseCorDbut40AbotheringBhelpingCcomfortingDpleasing41AmerelyBeventuallyCnormallyDsuddenly42ARememberingBimaginingCRealizingDForgetting43AdeclaredBarguedCfoughtDleaned44ApatienceBdeterminationCfreedomDenergy45AshootingBclimbingCstaringDshouting46AokayBamazedCsurprisedDproud47AsadnessBtroubleCprideDpleasure48Agive awayBleave outClisten to Dlook over49AuniqueBmysteriousCcomfortableDwrong50AavoidingBcryingCrememberingDpreparing51Afound outBlaughed atCpicked outDcalled at52AunwelcomeBunableCsatisfiedDunnecessary53AunderstandBsmile CpanicDcopy54AfunBfoodCtimeDmoney55AkindBsensitiveCfairDgenerous第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的ABCD四个选型中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。AI was ten the summer my dad helped me buy my first ten-speed bicycle from a priest(牧师).I put up $60 of my glass cuytting and snow shoveling money,and my dad put upo the other half.I would pay him back in installments(分期地)over the next six months.Although it was the kind of the bike youd expect a priest to have(dull silver,slightly worn,no baseball cards in te spokes),it was my ticket to the adult world.For her family of seven kids,my mom developed a system in which she decorated the outside of seven large boxes with different types of wallpaper.We each had our own box that contained six or so presents,and wed close our eyes and reach in to grab one when it was our turn.We opened one present at a time so everyone could “appreciate”each others gifts.My dad,a master showman,liked to keep a few of Santas better presents for the end.On that Chrismas morning,he gave mo a used portable record player,which was the “family stereo”that all of us fought over!Alas,my happiness was short-lived after my dad called my sister to the kitchen . “We have one more gift for you,”he said as he opened the door that led to the garage.There,on the steps,stood a brand new ten-speed Schwinn.I could hear her screams of joy.I slumped onto the floor.My ten-speed chariot had turned into a pumpkin in te time it took my sister to get on the gleaming (闪烁的)leather seat.After a few weeks of watching mo pout(撅嘴),my dad finally pulled mo aside.“Everything okay?”“Its not fair,”I whined.“I worked so hard for my bike,and its not even new.Then Liz gets a brand new bike as soon as I make the final payment.She didnt have to do anything for it.”My dad smiled.“She didnt have to do anything for it because its not really for her,”he said,and then left the room.What did that mean?Shed been on it every day since Chrismas-no way theyd let me take it back now.By spring Liz and I became true friends.We ended up at the same college,and even graduated the same year.Still,I wasnt amart enough to figure out what my dad meant until years later.That brand new bike was not a gift for me.Hed given me the gift of my sisters company,the ability to stay together rather than drift apart.He gave me my best friend.56.

Why advanced literacy is necessary?A. There are more human tasks which can be described by a set of rules.B. There are more blue-collar manufacturing activities.C. More routine human tasks have been taken over.D. More record keeping an
