However, I knew little about the 37 that the old horses spirit would have on my daughter.My daughter Stacy had ever had a 38 experience with a runaway horse.

No matter how my wife and I tried, we had no 42 in curing the damage caused that day. But when she was thirteen, a turning point came. One day as I saw Stacy look into the eye of the 43 fellow in the stall(牲口棚), I knew this was going to be the beginning of a 44 relationship.Fortunately, Stacys accident had not weakened her love for 45 in general, and this small opening was all that Twist needed to create an unusual 46 . In the following weeks, Stacy began to express daily 47 in coming to the stall with me. She actively spent time with him, feeding, brushing and combing him, all the 48 talking to him about her life.Then one day 49 I was readying one horse for a ride, I noticed the old guys eager expression and desire to be 50 , too.

I had trained, sweated and disciplined myself for 6 years on the running broad jump. A year before, as a college student at the Ohio State, Id set the worlds record of 26 feet 8 1/4 inches. Nearly everyone expected me to win.I was in for a surprise. When the time came for the broad-jump trials, I was shocked to see a tall boy hitting the pit (坑) at almost 26 feet on his practice leaps. He turned out to be a German named Luz Long. He had easily qualified for the finals on his first attempt.A nervous athlete is an athlete who will make mistakes. I fouled (犯规) twice on my qualifying jumps. Walking a few yards from the pit, I kicked at the dirt disgustedly. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to look into the friendly blue eyes of Luz Long. “Hi, Im Luz Long. I dont think weve met.” “Glad to meet you,” I said. Then, trying to hide my nervousness, I added, “How are you?” “Im fine. Something must be eating you. You should be able to qualify with your eyes closed.” He said.He seemed to understand my nervousness, and took pains to reassure me. Finally, seeing that I had calmed down somewhat, he said, “What does it matter if youre not the first in the trials? Tomorrow is what counts.” All the tension left my body as the truth of what he said hit me. Confidently I qualified with almost a foot to spare.Luz broke his own record and pushed me on to a peak performance. The instant I landed from my final jumpthe one which set the Olympic record of 26 feet 5 1/16 incheshe was at my side, congratulating me. 56. The author said “ I was in for a surprise” because he _A. beat Luz LongB. qualified for the finalC. met a great competitorD. joined in the Olympic Games57. What can we learn about the author from the passage?A. He remained confident in the Olympic Games. B. He had qualified for the finals on his first attempt.C. He had prepared for Berlin Olympics in Ohio State.D. He broke the world record of the running broad jump.58. What is the passage mainly about?A. A reliable man in the Olympic Games.B. A memorable experience in the Olympics.C. A surprising result in the Olympic Games.D. A good suggestion on how to win in the Olympics.B Back those photos up The images were striking. Homes on the East Coast were washed away by Superstorm Sandy. People were in tears, picking up faded photographs, among their only remaining possessions. If that doesnt move you to get serious about safekeeping your lifetime of memories, what will? The digital age offers tools never imaginable beforeincluding one-click access to a lifetime of family photos. Here is a brochure on how to back up (存) your photos and save them online, where they can live forever and be accessible in good times and bad. Scanning The first step for those old photos is to scan them and save them to a digital format. Most printers come with scanners these days, so thats an easy but extremely time-consuming step. Storing the photos With your scans in place, import the photos into your computer, and back them up. You could make multiple copies of the disks and spread them to loved ones. Or you could choose external(外接的) hard drives or USB thumb drive, and add your photo and video collection from your computer. Online backupIf you need lots of space, look at a pure online backup service, Caronite. Caronite backs up 300 million files daily. Once you sign up, it starts to pick up everything you have on your hard drive. But photo collection on your computers main hard drive charges for $59 a year.Cloud StorageFor folks who dont need automatic backup, but instead want to take a more active approach, Dropbox, Google Drive and Microsofts SkyDrive let you store files online by yourself, share and instantly access them. All offer free options2GB of free storage for Dropbox, 5GB for Google and 7GB for SkyDrive. But if you want more, you need to pay. Bottom LineThe hard drive or flash drive is the cheapest and easiest. But drives can fail. Online services are more expensive, but more secure. With more of us switching back and forth between our computers, such services are the best way to get access to our data from wherever we are. 59. Why does the author mention Superstorm Sandy? A. To tell the background of the scanning photos. .B. To attract the readers interest in the backups.C. To describe a severe natural disaster.D. To win the readers sympathy.60. What can we know from the passage? A. Scanning photos takes little time but costs a lot. B. Caronite charges for backing up photos from hard drive.C. Google Drive offers unlimited free photo storage on line.D. The hard drive or flash drive is the cheapest and safest.61. Which of the following allows storing files automatically? A. Caronite. B. Dropbox. C. SkyDrive. D. Flash drive. 62. The main purpose of the passage is to _. A. tell real stories about storage services B. introduce some of the storage servicesC. describe the functions of storage servicesD. argue about the advantage of storage servicesCThe Commonwealth games have meant that the eyes of the world have been focused on our fair cityMelbourne. And it would look pretty good, wouldnt it? And what better way to regain our title as worlds most liveable city? Im told that we recently lost the right to say this to foreign friends proudly when the international list was re-examined and we slipped to the fourth place. Its hard to see how Melbourne could have lost its crown (桂冠) when you look at what it has to offer. 24 hours Coles, free transport for drunks on New Years Eve, a new freeway, its all here. The first focus for the international press will obviously be the endless stadiums dotted around the city. But as well as being full every other weekend, these great places often play host to slightly older kids. At Rod Laver, even the olds get a look-in as the Christian evangelical (教会的) road show rolls into town once a year for a night of stadium worship (崇拜). Another pleasure Melbourne enjoys is that its very easy to get around. Theres a bit of a squeeze during rush hour for sure, but nothing like Bangkok, where the journey home can take longer than growing a beard and parking is barely distinguishable from the drive itself. Driving here is a piece of cake. It must be because the wise people who hand out the taxis seem to actively encourage a career behind the wheel within 24 hours of landing in the country as an educational tool for getting to know the city. No slowing down for learning bends, just go, go, go! As for the social life, with over 40 million bars in Melbournes CBD alone, we have plenty of places for spectators to celebrate national victory, making this town as good as any and it happens 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Unfortunately, the athletes themselves dont get to smell the roses to the same degree. But the rest of the world will know that this is the place to be. The most liveable city in the world. By far the easiest place on earth to cheat death, which is essentially what were talking about. 63. In Paragraph 1 and 2 the author is wondering _.A. how Melbourne has fallen behindB. when the international list was re-examinedC. what they should do to regain the worlds focusD. whether Melbourne can offer greater convenience64. What does the author mainly want to show in the passage? A. The casual life styles of Melbourne.B. The various social activities in Melbourne. C. The competitive advantages of Melbourne.D. The convenient transportation in Melbourne.65. From the underlined sentence, we can infer the athletes _.A. have minimum social activitiesB. take no interest in the beauty of the cityC. are forbidden to live in the busy city centreD. are unwilling to celebrate the victory publicly66. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A. B. CPP2 SPP1P3 CCPP3P1P4P2 C C. D. CPP3P1P2 CCPP2SP1P1SP2P3 C CP: Central Point P: Point Sp: Sub-point (次要点) C: ConclusionDAcross countryside, non-food crops are growing alongside wheat. Some are used in new alternatives to plastics and other materials, but others will simply be burned.Burning crops is becoming more popular because it is good for the planet. Doing so is also cheaper than burning fossil fuels. As more land is devoted to non-food crop production, the economics of crops for fuel are likely to become even more favorable.Humans have been burning such biomassorganic materials from plants or animalssince they discovered fire. But that burning fossil fuels could have catastrophic consequences has brought biomass back into fashion.Even allowing for emissions(排放) of carbon dioxide from fuel used in planting, harvesting, processing and transporting biomass fuel, replacing fossil fuel with biomass can typically reduce greenhouse gas emissions by more than 90 per cent. Power stations around the world are experimenting with forms of biomass to add to their coal or oil, with encouraging results. Indeed, power companies could profit by turning to biomass, especially when the subsidies(补助) many governments offer for using renewable energy are taken into account. Farmers can benefit from growing biomass. In Europe, the reduction of subsidies for certain crops is exposing farmers to market forces. Instead of being paid for whatever they produce, farmers must seek a clear demand for their product. Many believe that the demand for alternatives to fossil fuels could be just such a driver.But while biomass offers a variety of potential alternatives, the worlds infrastructure(基础设施) has developed around burning fossil fuels to such a stage that switching to biomass involves a change in conception that many companies have not accepted.Also, there are problems with using biomass. Although most coal-fired power stations could take a small amount of their fuel from biomass without significant adjustment, few are built to run on biomass alone. Burning some forms of biomass also causes environmental problems. Oils and waste can be smelly, while wood produces smoke unless burned properly.The supply chains for fossil fuels are set up well, but those for biomass are just the beginning. Sources of supply for biomass rely on farm production and can therefore be less reliable. They are necessarily limited and it wouldnt make sense to turn a very large amount of valuable agricultural land away from food crops. But as the world adjusts to the need to control greenhouse gas emissions, these problems may receive more attention.67. What do we know about biomass?A. It is a useful way of burning crops.B. It is a new alternative to be used widely.C. It is plant and animal matter used to provide power. D. It is a popular approach to fighting against pollution.68. What are the advantages of using biomass?a. It gives off less greenhouse gases.b. It helps farmers receive subsidies for what they produce.c. It has met the clear demand for energy.d. It has brought subsidies for some power companies.e. It is cheaper than burning fossil fuels.A. a, b, cB. b, c, dC. c, d, eD. d, e, a69. For coal-fired power stations, _.A. more effective ways to use biomass have been triedB. using renewable energy has become their daily taskC. burning biomass alone would require considerable changesD. setting up dependable supply channels needs governments support 70. What is the authors attitude towards biomass fuels?A. Objective.B. Sceptical.C. Disapproving.D. Defensive.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。I know just how you feelDo you feel sad? Happy? Angry? You may think that the way you show these emotions is unique. Well, think again. Even the expression of the most personal feelings can be classified, according to Mind Reading, a DVD exhibiting every possible human emotion. 71 In the mid1800s, Darwin divided the emotions into six typesanger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise and enjoyment. More complex expressions of emotion were probably learned and therefore more specific to each culture. But now it is believed that many more facial expressions are shared worldwide. 72 The Mind Reading DVD is a
