I shouted at myself silentlyAnd I didI beat himI came back to my parents farm in Afton, Wyoming, with a gold medal and the champions belt.Id reached the pinnacle, right? But no, I kept looking for new challenges, for other ways to show the world, “Look what I can do!” Afton, in Star Valley, was just the place for it56From the text we can know that _.AIn school, Rulon learned as quickly as the other studentsBRulon learned slowly in schoolCRulon was a good athlete when he was a studentDPeople always encourage Rulon to do all kinds of things57Which of the following is true?ARulon was encouraged by his friends.BRulon thought he was the best athlete at the Sydney Olympics.CThe commentator thought Rulon would be defeated easily by Karelin.DRulon won the gold medal easily.58The word “pinnacle” in paragraph 3 means _ in this passage.Athe last place Bthe highest point in ones lifeCones destination Dmountain topBEmail has brought the art of letter writing back to life, but some experts think the resulting spread of bad English does more harm than good.Email is a form of communication that is changing, for the worse, the way we write and use language, say some communication researchersIt is also changing the way we interact(交流) and build relationshipThese are a few of the recently recognized features of email, say experts, which should cause individuals and organizations to rethink the way they use email.“Email has increased the spread of careless writing habits,” says Naomi Baron, a professor of linguistics(语言学) at an American universityShe says the poor spelling, grammar, punctuation and sentence structure of emails reflect(反映) a growing unconcern about the way we write.Baron argues that we shouldnt forgive and forget the poor writing often shown in email“The more we use email and its tasteless writing, the more it becomes the normal way of writing,” the professor says.Others say that despite its poor writing, email has finished what several generations of English teachers couldnt: it has made writing fashionable again.“Email is a critical new communication technology.” says Ian Lancashire, a professor of English at Toronto University“It fills the gap between spoken language and the formal methods of writing that existed before emailIt is the purest form of written speech.”Lancashire says email has the mysterious ability to get people who are usually scared by writing to get their thoughts flowing easily onto a blank screenHe says this is because of emails close similarity to speechYC “Its like a circle of four or five people around a campfire,” he says.Still, he accepts that this new-found freedom to express themselves often gets people into troubleEmails sent in a day almost exceed(超过) the number of letters mailed in a yearBut more people are recognizing the content of a typical email message is not often exact.59From what Baron says in the third paragraph we can see that _.Acareless people use email more than careful peopleBemail requires people to change their native languageCprofessors in universities dont need to use emailDpeople communicating by email make all kinds of mistakes60What does the underlined word “it” (in Paragraph 4) refer to?AThe poor writing BEmailCThe good writing DA new communication technology.61In Lancashires opinion, email is a wonderful technology because _.Ait can be useful all over the world Bit is the fastest way to communicateCwe can express ourselves in a free way Dwe can save a lot of paper62This passage mainly shows us that _.Apeople should stop using email to communicateBexperts hold different opinions about email writingCAmericans only use email to communicateDemail makes people lose interest in English63Which of the following is NOT true about email?AIt is changing the way of communicationBIt is used more than letters in the US.CIt helps us write betterDIt causes us to write more.CLife is difficultIt is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficultMost do not fully see this truthInstead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easyIt seems to them that their difficulties represent(代表) a special kind of suffering specially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nationWhat makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful oneProblems, depending on their nature, cause in us sadness or loneliness or regret or anger or fearThese are uncomfortable feelings, often as any kind of physical painAnd since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joyYet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaningProblems are the serious test that tells success from failureWhen we desire to encourage the growth of the human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solveIt is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learnAs Benjamin Franklin said, “Those things that hurt, instruct（有意义）.” It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.64From the passage, it can be inferred that _.Aeverybody has problemsBwe become stronger by facing and solving the problems of lifeClife is difficult because our problems bring us painDpeople like to complain about their problems65The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to _.Asave space Bpersuade(说服) readersCmake readers laugh Dget readers attention66According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to _.Aencourage them to learn Bteach them to fear the pain of solving problemsChelp them learn to deal with pain Dteach them how to respect for problems67The saying from Benjamin Franklin “Those things that hurt, instruct.” suggests that _.Awe do not learn from experience Bwe do not learn when we are in painCpain teaches us important lessons Dpain cannot be avoidedDFrom the very beginning, Martin felt that he was bound up with（与紧紧地在一起）his lovely little patientOne day, following some tests, Betty gave the doctor a big hug.A few months later the doctor removed not only the tumour（肿瘤）, but also the entire lower left side of Bettys gum（牙龈）and jawboneBecause Betty was so young, Martin was hopeful that her jawbone might regenerate.Within three months, Bettys tumour grew as large as an orange, changing the natural appearance of the left side of her small, delicate（ = thin; not strong）faceSoon she couldnt even close her mouth, and as her eating problems worsened, Bettys weight dropped from 20 kilos to 15Martin knew from experience that it might invade the brain.The only other possibility was thorough radiation therapy (放射疗法)Night after night, Bettys father gave her injection, but the tumour remained as big as everThen one eveningMorgan noticed that the tumour had begun to changeIt was actually becoming smaller! For two months her tumour appeared to be going away for everIn the coming months, Bettys tumour continued to appearShe was able to eat solid food once againHer jawbone was regeneratingThe tumour was gone.68.What do you think the underlined word regenerate means? It means “_”.Alose ones lifeBgive a new life toCbe made by handDpass on from one generation to another69If Bettys jawbone didnt regenerate, the doctors _ .Awould rebuild her jawBwould continue the treatmentCwould use new medicine Dcould do nothing else70If the brain should be invaded, the result would _.Aprevent her growth Breduce her weightCcause her brain damagedDaffect her eyesight71What did the doctors do two months later?AThey continued their observations.BThey gave up the operation on Betty.CThey found out what caused Bettys strange disease.DThey declared that Bettys strange disease was cured.EHumans are social animalsThey live in groups all over the worldAs these groups of people live apart from other groups, over the years and centuries they develop their own habits and ideas, which form different culturesOne important particular side of every culture is how its people deal with time.Time is not very important in non industrial societies.The Nuer people of East Africa, for example, do not even have a word TIME that is in agreement with the abstract thing we call timeThe daily lives of the people of such non industrial societies are likely to be patterned around their physical needs and natural events rather than around a time schedule（时间表）based on the clockThey cook and eat when they are hungry and sleep when the sun goes downThey plant crops during the growing seasons and harvest them when the crops are ripeThey measure time not by a clock or calendar（日历）, but by saying that an event takes place before or after some other eventFrequently such a society measures day in terms of “sleeps ”or longer periods in terms of “moons”.Some cultures, such as the Eskimos of Greenland measure seasons according to the migration of certain animals.Some cultures which do not have a wr
