Some people, old and weak, cannot get 41 by themselves. Others seem perfectly healthy, dressed in business suits, and 42 themselves about with strong determination. But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair, I only saw a disability, not a person.Then I fainted at Euro-Disney 43 low blood pressure. This was the first time I had ever fainted, and my parents said that I must rest 44 after First Aid. I agreed to take it 45 but, as I stepped toward the door, I saw my dad pushing a wheelchair in my direction! Feeling the color 46 my cheeks, I asked him to wheel that thing right back to where he 47 it.I could not believe this was 48 to me. Wheelchairs were 49 for other people but not for me. As my father wheeled me out into the main street, people immediately began to treat me 50 .Little kids ran in front of me, forcing my father to 51 the wheelchair suddenly. Bitterness set in as I was 52 back and forth. 53 kids. Why 54 they watch where theyre going? I thought. People passing by stared down at me, 55 in their eyes. Then they would look 56 , maybe because they thought the 57 they forgot me the better.I am just like you! I wanted to scream. The only 58 is youve got legs, and I have wheels. People in wheelchairs are not stupid. They see every look and hear each word. Looking out at the 59 , I finally understood: I was once just like them. I treated people in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated. I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly 60 . 41.A. aroundB. offC. overD. up42.A. takeB. wheelC. carryD. move43.A. resulting inB. in spite ofC. due toD. related to44.A. at timesB. for a whileC. once in a whileD. now and then45.A. seriouslyB. for grantedC. alongD. easy46.A. heatB. dyeC. beatD. burn47.A. foundB. caughtC. boughtD. laid48.A. goingB. leadingC. happeningD. becoming49.A. fitB. fineC. goodD. right50.A. politely B. differentlyC. rudelyD. strangely51.A. stopB. changeC. pushD. pull52.A. shakenB. strickenC. drivenD. thrown53.A.

It was a cheap self-service place with long table to keep a place and went to get a cup of coffee.When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the next seat. It was one of those wild-looking boys, with dark glasses and old clothes, and his hair was colored bright red at the front. What did surprise me was that hed started to eat my chocolate.I was rather uneasy about him, but I didnt want to make more trouble. I just looked down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me closely. Then he took a second piece of chocolate. I could hardly believe it. Still I didnt say anything to him. When he took a third piece, I felt angrier. I thought, well, I shall have the last piece. “And I got it.”The boy gave me a strange look, and then stood up. As he left he shouted out, “There is something wrong with the woman,” Everybody looked at me, but it was worse then I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face turned red when I knew Id made a mistake. It wasnt my chocolate that I had eaten. There was mine, just under my newspaper.61. In which order die the writer do the following things?a. Went into a coffee shop. b. Got a cup of coffee,c. Started to eat some chocolate. d. Did some shopping.e. Found a seat in the shop. f.

She thought it very funny.( B)If you planning to study in the United States, you need to consider several factors （因素）. Everyone has different opinions about where is the best place to live in. Also, the best places to live in are not always home to the best schools. Whats more, many schools specialize in different areas of study. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for example, is a great school for computer science. And if you want to study oceanography, your interests may be better served by attending school in a place which is near the ocean.Now I will tell you about which states I believe are the best to live in. California is a nice state. Northern California especially has very good weather. As for me, I enjoyed the time I spent in Massachusetts, Virginia and Mary land. These states have a lot of history and culture. The weather is not so perfect as that in California, but is still quite nice. My favorite of America is the Midwest. Middle America, I think, is home to the true American sense of values. Besides, there are many good universities, too.Also you need to think about your likes and dislikes and then research the different areas. You like sunshine and hate snow? Then you probably wont like the Midwest or even the Northeast. Open space, nature, peace and quiet? Then youd better stay away from Americas larger cities. Are you interested in government? Then Washington D.C. is the only place for you. Whatever you decide, put some thought into it.65. From the first paragraph we can infer that in the USA .A. all colleges and universities lie in big cities B. all colleges and universities lie in beautiful places C. famous colleges and universities lie in nice places D. famous colleges and universities may not lie in nice places 66. should be considered first if you want to study in the USA.A. The climateB. The sceneryC. The study conditionD. The living condition 67. The writer likes Middle America best because .A. he feels the real character of the nation hereB. the weather is fine here C. the life is full of excitement D. he likes sunshine and hates snow 68. The passage mainly .A. tells us something about American universitiesB. gives us some advice on studying in America C. lets us know about America D. describes the scenery of America ( C )Do you have bright ideas? Ideas or inventions that change society or, at least, make life easier for somebody? Perhaps we all do sometimes, but we dont often make the idea a reality. Recently, in Britain, there was a competition called British Designers for Tomorrow. The competition encourages young people to carry out their bright ideas. There were two groups in the contest; Group One was for schoolchildren under 16; Group Two was for schoolchildren over 16. And there were eleven prize-winners altogether.Neil Hunt, one of the prize-winners, was called “Sunshine Superman(超人)”. Its important when people study the weather to be able to record sunshine accurately. We need to know how many hours of sunshine we have and how strong it is. Most sunshine recorders only record direct sunlight. Neils is more accurate(精确的) and this is very important for research into the way of using solar(太阳的)power.You can do so much with animated cartoon. Look at Simon Wests idea for animated road signs. He uses pictures which appear to move as you go nearer to or farther from them. This isnt a new idea. But it is new to use these pictures on road signs. “We found that people were more likely to see moving signs,” said Simon. So now, you can really see rocks falling, trains moving , horses running or a car falling over the edge of a cliff(悬崖). Quite a warning!The ideas in the competition were so inventive that we are surprised that British industry doesnt ask more schoolchildren for suggestions. Perhaps this will be the start of “pupil power!”69. The organizers of the competition hoped the schoolchildren who took part in it would _. A. become good designers for future BritainB. invent something for immediate use C. design something useful for the next dayD. win as many prizes as they could70. Neil Hunts design would finally lead to the improvement of the way of _.A. recording direct sunshine B. recording the hours of sunshineC. using the energy of the sun D. knowing how strong sunlight is71. Whats the use of Simon Wests animated road signs? A. To warn people to be careful while working.B. To warn people on the roads of the danger ahead.C. To add to the beauty of a city. D. To help make a car trip more exciting.72. The writer seems to be encouraging the British industry to _.A. take better care of schoolchildren B. help schoolchildren in their studiesC. stop asking schoolchildren for suggestionsD. pay more attention t o schoolchildrens inventive power ( D )Some people have complained about this years collection, New Writing 3, although I cannot understand why. Surely 500 pages of original writing of this quality, for 6.99, is pretty amazing? Fictionboth parts of novels and complete short storiesmakes up most of the book. There are some enjoyable pieces by famous writers, such as Candia Mc William and Rose Tremain. Its a strange fact that the less well-known people seem to have written mainly about food. Take my advice about Jane Harriss Those Nails this piece should definitely not be read just after meals. It contains some very unpleasant scenes which could turn your stomach! There is fine work from nineteen poets, including R.S. Thomas and John Burnside. There are pieces from novels-in-progress by Jim Crace and Jane Rogers. Finally, there is a little non-fiction, which includes a very funny article by Alan Ursula Owen. This is an exceptional collection and I for one cant wait to see what next years choice will include.73. The writer of this passage is trying to give _. A. her opinions about a new bookB. some information about new writersC. some advice to new writersD. her opinion of newspaper journalists74. The readers would _ after reading the text. A. find out more details about New Writing 3B. learn what next years collection will containC. find out about Alan Rusbridgers new novelD. have no idea how to read a good book75. The writer suggested that you might feel _ after reading Jane Harriss piece. A. hungryB. excitedC. happyD. sick76. Which of the following best describes New Writing 3? Great value:the best of new writing for only 6.99Great value:two novels, poems and articles for only 6.99A. B. Great value:poems by Tremain, Harris and Burnside for only 6.99Great value:newspapers for a whole year for only 6.99C. D. ( E)Ellis Island is located in New York.
