These activities might be too much for the average 16-year-old to deal with, but Jake is blind. When people ask him how he can possibly play golf without being able to see the ball, he says he is thankful for his fathers guidance. It seems apparent that his early experience playing sports as a person with sight and muscle memory repeating behaviors over and over until they become second nature have also enabled Jake to hit the ball quite well. Jake was born with a rare kind of eye cancer that took away the vision from his left eye when he was an infant and eventually his right eye, in 2009, when he was 12 years old. Rather than letting the disease hold him back, Jake used his loss of sight and his faith as sources of motivation. “If I was going to sit on the couch all day feeling sorry for myself, I wasnt going to do anything. I decided right then and there that I wasnt going to let it stop me and that I was going to go out and persevere (坚持不懈),” he said. It was with that mind-set that the student from Orange Lutheran High School in California was able to write his first book, Open Your Eyes: 10 Uncommon Lessons to Discover a Happier Life. “Its about opening the readers eyes to their true potential in life and making sure that they use all the abilities that they have,” Jake said. Jakes father, Brian Olson, said the family is impressed with what he has done with his life, including showing people that they can get through hardships. “Your darkest hour can soon become your brightest, and with every setback, theres a setup,” Jake said. “In every one of us, theres more potential than we can ever imagine, and it really is a choice.” 41. We can learn from the article that Jake Olson _. A. was born a blind childB. could have been a golf master C. has great muscle memoryD. is trying to find the cure for his disease42. According to the article, Jakes family members _. A. pity him deeplyB. once gave up hope on him C. encouraged him to write the bookD. admire his efforts and determination43. The purpose of the book Open Your Eyes: 10 Uncommon Lessons to Discover a Happier Life is to _.A. promote good approaches to getting along with disabled peopleB. inspire people to discover and use their hidden abilitiesC. help people come up with better life goalsD. explain different definitions of “a happier life”44. The underlined word “setback” is closest in meaning to _.A. fight B. failureC. opportunity D. success BPrinceton University LocationThe University is in Princeton, New Jersey.

More than two thousand metres above sea level, it lies in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains with the Ortiz Mountains to the southeast.Santa Fe was founded in 1609 by the Spanish on an old Indian village. In 1680 the Indians seized the place but only held it for twelve years before the Spanish retook it. The city remained under Spanish rule until Mexico won its independence in 1821. From then on it was a Mexican city until 1846 when it was taken over by American troops.With a population of 48,953, Santa Fe is now the second largest city in the state. Because of its sunny weather, rich history and surrounding mountains, it is a good place for holiday makers. Besides hunting and skating in the mountains people enjoy shopping in the Indian and Spanish shops, which brings a large income to the city every year. In summer there is an international opera season when operas are shown in a partly-roofed ,open-air theatre daily for people from all over the world.48. Which of the drawings below gives an idea of what Santa Fe is like?RG=the Rio Grande SFR=the Santa Fe River OM=the Ortiz Mountains49.

They even sound better than violins made today. Violin makers and scientists try to make instruments like the old Italian violins. But they arent the same. Why are these old Italian violins so special? Many people think they have an answer.Some people think it is the age of the violins. But there is a problem here. Not all old violins sound wonderful. Only those from Cremona are special. So age cannot be the answer.Other people think the secret to those violins is the wood. The wood of the violin is very important. It must be from certain kinds of trees. It must not be too young or too old. Perhaps the violin makers of Cremona knew something special about wood for violins.But the kind of wood may not be so important. It may be more important to cut the wood in a special way. Wood for a violin must be cut very carefully. It has to be the right size and shape. The smallest difference will change the sound of the violin. Musicians sometimes think that this is the secret of the Italians. Size and shape may not be the answer either. Scientists make new violins that are exactly the same size and shape. But the new violins still do not sound as good as the old one. Some scientists think the secret may be the varnish（清漆）, which covers the wood of the violin and makes it look shiny. It also helps the sound of the instrument. Since no one knows what the Italian violin makers used in their varnish, no one can make the same varnish today.There may never be other violins like the violins of Cremona. And there are not many of the old violins left. So these old violins are becoming more and more precious.52. What would be the best title for the passage? A. The Secrets of Cremona Violins B. The History of Italian Violins C. Special Musical Instruments D. How to Make the Best Violins53. What is still unclear about Cremona violins according to the writer? A. The shape. B. The size. C. The wood. D. The varnish54.Which of the following words can best describe Cremona violins? A. Light. B. Shining. C. Valuable. D. Modern.55. What can be inferred from this passage? A. Modern things are always better than ancient ones B. Ancient things are always better than modern ones C. Once a cultural relic is lost, it can never be recovered D. Varnish for violins will become more and more precious 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的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多于选项。 Building Trust in a Relationship Again Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. 56 Trust is a risk. But you cannot be successful when there is a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrong doer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake. Unfortunately, weve all been victims of betrayal. Whether weve been stolen from, lied to, misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply cant trust anymore. 57 Its understandable, but if you are willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there. 58 Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being. 59 If youve been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there is a difference between being a victim and living with a “victim mentality”. At some point in all of our lives, well have our trust tested or violated. You didnt lose “everything”. Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. 60 Instead, its a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness. A. Learn to really trust yourself. B. It is putting confidence in someone. C. Stop regarding yourself as the victim. D. Remember that you can expect the best in return. E. Theyve been too badly hurt and they cant bear to let it happen again. F. This knowledge ca
