only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. that is, you are not yet experienced enough to trust to your own powers. when you become more experienced you will never ask the question, and i think that you will often begin at the tail -that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning. 46. a friend of the writers drew the horses _. a. very well b. in the way of western rule c. in the way of his own rule d. all of the above 47. the writer was surprised because _. a. the artist began to draw at the head of the horse b. the artist began to draw at the tail of the horse c. the artist made his own rule d. the artist did not follow other peoples rule 48. you are not yet experienced because _. a. you dont know where to begin b. you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail c. you always asked question d. you do not trust to your own powers 49. when you become more experienced you will _. a. never ask question b. often begin at the tail c. should write the end of the story d. should think of the beginning 50. the topic of the passage is _. a. how to draw a horse b. how to write a story c. how to make your own rules d. trust to your own powers （c）“cool”is a word with many meaningsits old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit coldas the world has changed，the word has had many different meaning “cool”can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anythingwhen you see a famous car in the street，maybe you will say，“its cool”you may think，“hes so cool，”when you see your favourite footballer we all maximize the meaning of“cool”you can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”heres an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is useda teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall they had visitedon one students paper was just the one sentence，“its so coolmaybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt but the story also shows a scarcity（缺乏）of wordswithout “cool”，some people have no words to show the same meaningso it is quite important to keep some credibility（可信性）can you think of many other words that make your life as colourful as the word “cool”？ i canand i think they are also very cool 51we know that the word cool has had _. aonly one meaning bno meanings cmany different meanings dthe same meaning 52in the passage，the word“express”means “_”. asee bshow cknow dfeel 53if you are _ something，you may say， “its cool.” ainterested in bangry about cafraid of dunhappy with 54the writer takes an example to show he is _ the way the word is used apleased with bstrange to cworried about dcareful with 55in the passage，the writer suggests that the word “cool”_ acan be used instead of many words busually means something interesting ccan make your life colourful dmay not be as cool as it seems (d)on my next visit, i learned that windy lived in a summer cottage（小屋） and didnt go to school, even though it was winter. soon after, my mother died, and i rushed to the beach to be alone. i didnt want to say anything when windy came up to me. “why?” she asked.i turned to her and shouted, “because my mother died!” “oh,” she said quietly, “then today is a bad day.”a month later, i went to the beach but couldnt find windy. i missed her so much that i visited her house. i learned that windy had died of leukemia(白血病), but left a picture of a sandpiper for me, to make me happy.56.the writer drove to the beach because _.a.a six-year-old girl lived near thereb.windys eyes were as blue as the seac.she didnt feel happyd.she missed her mother.57.the writer felt better _.a. because she took off her shoes b. when she stopped the girl from playingc. after she learned that a sandpiper would bring her joy d.after she left the beach58.on her next visit to the beach, the writer learned _.a. that the girls name was windy. b. how to build a summer cottage c . that windy didnt go to school. c.that windy lived with her mother59.why did the writer rush to the beach soon after?
