There were three young women who had lost one of their legs and several deaf-mutes (聋哑人) among the dancers. As they held out their arms to greet the light of life, I could see how they have had to struggle against many difficulties. During the dance I could see how alive their minds were.The singer came next shocked us all. The singer was very young, but his hands had both been burnt off in a big fire. I dared not look at his wrists too closely. All I could do was listen to his song quietly. It was called “Late Autumn” and he sang with a low gentle voice. Though in fact it was warm spring, I felt a bit cold and sentimental (伤感的) to hear the song, as if it was late autumn. “How much love and gloom (忧郁) is hidden in the heart? I want to hold your hand again.”When I heard this, teas rolled down my face. He had lost not only his hands, but also the chance to hold a girls hand. I hope he finds a lovely girl one day for company, though he cant hold her hand.Another young mans arms had been cut off when he was six. From then on, his feet were his “hands”. He could manage a number of things with his feet. He greatly impressed us with his handwriting. Two big characters “Flying High” expressed his wish. “If you wings are broken, your heart can still fly,” said Zhang Haidi, a famous disabled writer.In our country, there are many people with disabilities. However, most of them dont give in. Their bodies may be damaged but they have wonderful minds. Just as Zhang said, they can fly.I think of those disabled people who preformed for us. They have a disability, but they still gave off a youthful glow.To be young means to have all kinds of possibilities. We should challenge our limits and go beyond ourselves. As long as you work hard, miracles (奇迹) will happen sooner or later. I believe, where there is a will, there is a way.41.From the text it can be inferred that _.A. people with disabilities can have a lot of chances to find jobsB. people with disabilities fight against difficulties bravelyC. people with disabilities are allowed to give performancesD. people with disabilities will be respected by many people42.The underlined sentence “If your wings are broken, your heart can still fly” in paragraph 5 means _.A. Their bodies may be damaged but they have wonderful mindsB. They have broken arms and legs but they can fly high in the skyC. They hold out their arms to greet the light of life and give off lightD. Only people with disabilities work hard and must find a lovely girl43.From the performance and the song, we can see that _.A. how alive their minds are during the danceB. their life is both hard and poor and they should gain helpC. they must have chances to challenge for the futureD. they have a strong belief in life although disabled44.According to the writer, _.A. we should learn from performancesB. we must go out for performances and singingC. we should challenge our limits and go beyond ourselvesD. we must believe miracles will occurBThe 2020 Beijing Olympic Games are drawing near. Are you eager to enjoy watching the matches or start serving as a volunteer? First, you need to know about audience manners.The behavior of courtside audiences is considered to be an important part of sporting culture. In 2020, after world champion Stephen Hendry lost to Ding Junhui in the China Open Snooker Championships, he complained of the noise from Chinese spectators. Perhaps you and your classmates could discuss how to behave while in the audience at the Olympic Games.Most sporting arenas have rules for spectators written on the back of the tickets. Read your ticket carefully before you arrive. Try to reach your seat half an hour before the start of the event and dont leave when a game is in progress. When you leave, remember to take away your soft drink bottles and other trash (垃圾).During exciting games, try to control yourself. Dont criticize the performance of players and coaches. Be careful with your words, since some may cause anger among other people in the audience.Applause is a special form of body language you can use to communicate with players. But you should do it properly. When players first appear, clap your hands together to welcome them, but dont go on for too long. After an excellent performance, applaud warmly. If someone fails, your applause will help encourage them.Applause is not welcome, however, while a game is in progress and players need to keep their concentration. Various sports have various rules for the audience.Enjoying artistic gymnastics requires silence. But lots of cheering can really help basketball and football players. Snooker and table tennis courtside behavior includes a ban on flash photography. Mobile phones are not allowed in shooting centers.To be a good spectator, you should take time to learn the game-specific rules and related culture of each event.45.What does the the underlined word spectators mean in the passage?A.

Games, treats and praise distract the dog from helping its handler navigate (指引方向) the course. Even when the handler doesnt need assistance, a guide dog on the job is trained to ignore distractions and keep still. This is because a guide dog must be able to come to handlers workplace or be in public places without creating a disturbance.When you see a guide dog on the job, it is extremely important that you recognize that it is at work. Petting or talking to the dog spreads its concentration, which weakens the handlers ability to get around in his or her surroundings. People are very impressed with guide dogs and so we have a natural inclination (倾向) to praise them, but the best thing you can do to help a guide dog is to leave it alone so that it can pay attention to its surroundings and maintain its focus on its handler. Guiding is very complicated, and it requires a dogs undivided attention.When a guide dog gets home at the end of the day, however, it will play and soak up praise just like an ordinary pet. Guide dogs make the difference between work and play based on their lead harness (牵狗用的皮带): When the harness is on, they must stay completely focused when it comes off, its play time. Guide dogs work very hard every day, but they lead extremely happy lives, full of lots of attention and stimulation.Working as a guide dog requires good physical and mental shape, so guide dogs typically retire just before they enter old age. Retirement is usually at age 8 or 10; but some work for a little longer, and some guide dogs retire earlier if theyre having trouble with the work.53.What do you think is the typical job of a guide dog?A. Help the policemen to search for the murderer.B. Help the blind or weak-sighted people get around.C. Help the doctor to save the injured people.D. Help the owner to watch their house.54.What does the writer want to tell the readers through the passage?A. Guide dogs kindness and faith to their handlers.B. Guide dogs difference from other dogs and some special talents.C. Guide dogs life style and job situation.D. Guide dogs trained way by their handlers.55.In the first paragraph the underlined word “distract” means _.A. to stop the dog paying attention to what he is doingB. to make the dog think very carefully about what he is doingC. to interrupt the dog so that he cannot do the work wellD. to stop the dog from doing something56.How do guide dogs know when to work and when to play?A. The handlers use special language.B. Guide dogs understand the meanings of some gestures.C. Guide dogs are trained to understand their owners orders.D. It depends on when the guide dogs have their harness on.EThere is an English saying: “Laughter is the best medicine.” Until recently, few people took the saying very seriously. Now however, doctors have begun to study laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found the facts that laughter really can improve peoples health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films while doctors checked their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and muscles. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even the feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be able to reduce the effect of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produce pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group which tolerated the pain for the longest time was the groups which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce endorphins in the brain. These are natural chemicals which diminish both stress and pain.There is also some fact to suggest that laughter helps the bodys immune system, that is, the system which fights infection. In an experiment, one group of studen
