We see things moving past us and feel that we are being shaken.We can feel acceleration, an increase in speed. But we notice it for only a short time. For instance, we feel it during the takeoff run of an airliner.We feel the planes acceleration because our bodies do not gain speed as fast as the plane does. It seems that something is pushing us back against the seat. Actually, our bodies are trying to stay in the same place, while the plane is carrying us forward.Soon the plane reaches a steady speed. Then, because there is no longer any change in speed, the feeling of forward motion stops.56. We can feel that we are moving by _.

Chicago, a city in the State of Illinois, is the second largest in the United States. It stretches for 29 miles along the southwest shore of Lake Michigan. Its splendid centre faces the lake behind a pleasant park. The Chicago River flows through the heart of the city. The city of Chicago, 713 miles west of New York and 1858 miles east of San Francisco, is located at the conjunction(连接) of the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River system and surrounded by the productive farmlands of the Midwest. This makes the city the crossroads of the nation and the “ bread basket” of the nation. From its beginning as a frontier fort(要塞) settlement in 1803, commerce(商业) has been the key to Chicagos development, especially since the railroads and stockyards(牲畜围栏) were built in the 1840s and 1850s. Thousands of foreigners, attracted by the promise of steady jobs, have lived and worked there since the second half of the 19th century; thousands more come to visit its famous fairs, and millions of others cross it every day by road or railway. Chicago is the worlds biggest road and railway centre, and it should claim(要求得到身份或权利的承认) the worlds busiest airport.66. If you go to New York from Chicago, you go _ for _ miles. A. east713 B. west713 C. east1858 D. west185867. From the passage, we can see that there is _. A. a lake right in the middle of the city B. the Mississippi River in the middle of the city C. a park in the middle of the city D. a lake 29 miles away from the city68. Chicago is called the “ bread basket” of the nation because _. A. there is a river flowing through the city B. it is located at the conjunction of the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River system C. it is near the city of New York D. there are rich farmlands around the city69. _ the city developed fastest.

Since the late 19th century thousands of people have kept coming to Chicago _. Which of the following is wrong? A. on business B. for a visitC. for better jobs D. to claim the worlds biggest seaportD In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity(繁荣). Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people. I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit(追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten. However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary player, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “ I may have lost, but it doesnt matter because I really didnt try.” What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that ones self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.71. What does this passage mainly talk about? A. Competition helps to set up self-respect. B. Opinions about competition are different among people. C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development. D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.72. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage? A. It pushes society forward. B. It builds up a sense of duty. C. It improves personal abilities. D. It encourages individual efforts.73. The underlined phrase “ the most vocal” in Paragraph 3 means _. A. those who try their best to win B. those who value competition most highly C. those who are against competition most strongly D. those who rely on others most for success74. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”? A. Ones worth lies in his performance compared with others. B. Ones success in competition needs great efforts. C. Ones achievement is determined by his particular skills. D. Ones success is based on how hard he has tried.75. Which point of view may the author agree to? A. Every effort should be paid back. B. Competition should be encouraged. C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter. D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.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。选项中有两处为多余选项。 If you are hungry, what do you do? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? _76_ But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars. So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow. When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity(创造力) gets a full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “ What happens next?”, “Why cant I think?” _77_ Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood. Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to take
