I thought that Mary would jump on the luggage carrier (行李架) over the back tire when I was riding. Mom knew exactly what I was thinking. “Dont ride the bike with Mary on the back,” she said. “Its too dangerous. You could kill yourself. Take turns.”I nodded, but I was thinking I could handle this. A few minutes later, I turned right to a wide road. “Jump on the back,” I told Mary. I rode fast, laughing as the wind blew through our hair. It was exciting, until the handlebar (车把) started shaking. The front tire dropped into a drain (下水道) and I fell off the bike, still holding the handlebar. w W w .x K b 1.c o MMy face, hands, and knees crashed into the pavement.

But in her own way, she was holding me tighter than I could understand she was teaching me the lesson I needed. “You did it deal with it and learn from it.

C When Paul Cave was 19, his father-in-law told him how, on March 19, 1932, he had queued (排队) up for two days at Wynyard Station so he could buy the first rail ticket to cross the Sydney Harbour Bridge. In 1985, two days before he died, he gave that ticket to Cave ticket number 00001. “It created a fascination (酷爱) with the bridge that I have to this day,” says Cave. And it started him on a long journey towards another Harbour Bridge first. 新|课 | 标| 第 |一| 网Cave came up with a simple but daring idea lease (租用) the bridge from the government and allow ordinary people to climb Australias greatest icon. “I thought it would take two years,” says Cave, 63. “What appeared like a simple job turned into some very complex activities. But in business, you just have to keep going its about having self-belief.” Indeed, it took him nine years and ten months to convince the NSW government to allow his dream to be a reality. “Six years were wasted dealing with some very restrictive officials,” says Cave. They threw difficulty after difficulty in his path with doubts over the safety of the climbers and the motorists below the list went on and on. Through it all, Cave held the ticket tightly. It was a constant reminder of why, to Cave, this fight was worth winning. Finally, in 1995, came the breakthrough (突破) hed worked for a letter arrived from WorkCover, the states occupational health and safety insurer, backing his idea. Since opening on October 1, 1998, over 1.8 million people have climbed the 1,439 steps to the top of the bridge, making BridgeClimb a $50-million-a-year success and a major international tourist attraction. 8.

WorkCover. B. Harbour Bridge. C. BridgeClimb. D. Ticket 00001.11. The text mainly tells us that . A. not every dream in our life is very easy to come true B. you should have self-belief even faced with great difficulty C. family members always give you the inspiration for successw W w .X k b 1.c O m D. life seems a long journey towards another Harbour Bridge first D A habitat is a natural area where wildlife lives undisturbed. Most animals and plants have become endangered not because they have been killed on purpose but because their habitats are being destroyed. Human activities have changed or destroyed habitats for thousands of years. The natural habitats in almost every country in the world have been affected in some way. Let us take Britain as an example. Nowadays most of the British countryside consists of fields of grass grown for cattle and sheep or crops for humans. If you had lived about a thousand years ago, the countryside would have looked very different for most of Britain was covered with forest.Now there are only small areas of woodland across the country, one of the largest areas being the New Forest in Hampshire. Throughout the centuries humans have steadily (持续地) cut down the trees to make room for the human population which has increased greatly particularly during the past 200 years or so. The trees have been replaced by houses, factories, schools, roads, farmland etc. Hedgerows (灌木篱笆) which were planted by humans as boundaries (界限) around fields have replaced woodlands. As you may imagine, the great loss of habitats has affected the wildlife that lives in them. Large animals such as the Brown Bear and the Auroch became extinct in Britain during the 10th century mainly due to destruction (破坏) of their forest habitats. Other British species of animals and plants have become extinct during the last few hundred years and many more are endangered today. Although many organizations are working to protect wildlife, natural habitats are still being destroyed.12. The text mainly tells us .A. what a habitat is B. how to protect wildlifeC. habitat destruction makes animals endangeredD. how to prevent the environment from being destroyed13. According to the text, animals are endangered mainly because . A. people kill wild animals on purposeB. the environment is seriously pollutedC. humans havent worked to protect themD. the human population has increased greatly14. We can learn from the text that .A. the New Forest is the largest woodland in the worldB. the Brown Bear has been extinct for many years in BritainC. humans destroyed natural habitats mainly by growing cropsD. humans planted hedgerows to make home for cattle and sheep15. Which of the following may the writer agree with?A. Setting up reserves is the best way to protect animals.B. We can hardly stop animals from being endangered.C. Things will become better for wild animals in Britain.D. Human activities began to affect wildlife 200 years ago.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Before trying to start a new career, there are several things that should be done. To begin with, a person should do an enough amount of research about the field that he or she is planning to enter. 16 They should consider the earning potential (可能性), the standard benefits, and the specific requirements for the jobs that they are considering. 17 Having work experience in one field does not make sure that a change to a new field will be smooth. People should avoid overstating or misrepresenting their qualifications (资历) only to get a job. Doing so can result in a lot of stress and place a person at risk of losing the new job.Even when a person enters a new career at the correct level, there is a possibility that he or she will not know everything that is required. 18 So people should ask the necessary questions. On the contrary, it is best for people in new positions to show high levels of interest and desire to learn. People should realize that wanting to start a new career does not mean that it is possible at any given moment. People should not quit their jobs too early with false expectations of easily getting another job. 19 It is also wise for a person to save some money before starting a new career. 20 There is also a possibility that he or she may have to invest (投资) in training or supplies, which may be difficult to cover while in a new position or in between jobs.A. Therefore, it should not be taken lightly.B. This is understandable when a person is new on a job.C. It is also necessary to get the proper training or education.D. It is not wise for people to act on just a desire (渴望) for change.E. Some people choose a career they enjoy doing in their spare time.F. Instead, it is best for them to begin their job search while they are still employed. G. This will provide one with a great help in case the new job does not work out.第二部分 英语知识运用 (共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)Have you ever had a day when everything seemed to go wrong, and nothing seemed to go right?
