Each passage is followed by some questionsor unfinished statements. You should decide on the best choice.AWhen Muhammad Ali was 12 years old, someone stole his shiny bicycle. Ali was very angry. He told a police officer he wanted to punch the person who stole it. The officer suggested that he back up those “fighting words” by learning how to box.During the next 25 years, Muhammad Ali would become one of the top athletes and best boxers of the 20th century. He won a gold medal at the Olympic Games. He went on to earn the title of world heavyweight boxing champion three different times. His fights were major events watched by millions of people around the world.Muhammad Ali was born in 1942 in Louisville, Kentucky. His parents named him Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr. They named their son after a Kentucky statesman who had fought against slavery in the 1800s.Young Cassius Clay quickly made his mark in the boxing ring. He turned professional after winning a gold medal in the Olympic Games in 1960. Four years later, he knocked out Sonny Liston to earn his first world heavyweight champion title.After winning the title, Clay converted(使转变) to Islam. This religion follows the teachings of the prophet（先知）Muhammad. When Clay converted, he took a new name, Muhammad Ali.In 1967, Ali was called on to join the United States Army. The country was fighting the Vietnam War at the time, and young men were being enlisted to take part. But Ali refused to go. He said his religion taught him to oppose all wars. Ali was sentenced to prison, fined, and stripped of his boxing title. Ali fought his conviction, but he did not regain the right to box professionally for 3 years.In 1974, Ali won the world heavyweight title again by beating George Foreman. Ali defended his heavyweight title six more times before he lost to Leon Spinks in February 1978. But Ali came back to beat Spinks and regain the title seven months later.56. Ali was sentenced to prison because _.A.he converted to IslamB. he was stripped of his boxing titleC. he refused to join the United States Army to fight the Vietnam WarD. he didnt want to fight his conviction57. The underlined word “oppose ”in the passage means _.A. be in favor of B. be against C. agree D. blame58. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. Ali was born Muhammad AliB. he earn his first world heavyweight champion title when he was twenty-two years oldC. the major reason why Ali could become one of the top athletes and best boxers of the 20thcentury is that someone stole his shiny bike when he was youngD. Ali never lost the world heavyweight title in his lifetimeBNo one wants to see a racehorse break down. The toughest trainers and the most anxious fans seem to agree on this much: A horse has to win, but nobody wants to see one die trying. That such a breakdown is sad news for the owner and the jockey, the person who feeds the horse and exercises it.At the medical center where Barbaro was being treated, people left signs for the little horse, expressing their love for him. Since Barbaros injury early in the Preakness Stakes on Saturday, the reaction of strangers to his condition raises a question: Why do people care so much about the fate of an animal to which they have no personal connection?Barbaro was operated last night, but his fate remained unknown. If he survives the immediate injury, he will face months of recovering.The image of jockey Edgar Prado leaning into Barbaros shoulder to help him stay upright reminded people of the photograph from 1975 showing Jacinto Vasquez leaning against his injured little horse, Ruffian, and keeping her from going down on the track.Ruffian, another competitive little horse, was euthanized（使安乐死）after serious injuries early in the morning.Horse racing is as competitive as any sport ever invented. Horses are like children, and they cannot take care of themselves. They need people to provide them with water, food and shelter.Perhaps the real miracle the one that matters to all of us, whether we know it or not is that so many of us are still capable of caring so much.59.When jockey Edgar Prado leaned into Barbaros shoulder to help him stay upright, people thought （of） _.A.

I hadnt been paying attention, and I had driven a few miles an hour over the speed limit.“Can I see your license and registration?” the police officer asked me. I pulled both out for him, and he saw my Pittsburgh address on my Pennsylvania drivers license.“What are you doing here?” he asked. “Are you with the army?”“No, Im not.” I answered. I explained that I had just moved to Virginia, and I hadnt had time to re-register yet.“So what brings you here?”He had asked a direct question. Without thinking very hard, I gave him a direct answer. “Well, officer,” I said, “since youve asked, I have cancer. I have just months to live. Weve moved down here to be close to my wifes family.”“So youve got cancer,” he said flatly. He was trying to figure me out. Was I really dying? Was I lying? He took a long look at me. “You know, for a guy who has only a few months to live, you sure look good.”He was obviously thinking: “Either this guy is pulling one big fat line on me, or hes telling the truth.” He was trying to question my honesty without directly calling me a liar. And so he had forced me to prove that I was being honest.“Well, officer, I know that I look pretty healthy. I look great on the outside, but the tumors（肿瘤）are on the inside.” And then, I dont know what possessed me, but I just did it. I pulled up my shirt, showing the operational scars.He looked at my scars. He looked in my eyes. He now knew he was talking to a dying man. Well, he wasnt taking this any further. He handed me back my license. “Do me a favor.” he said, “Slow down from now on.”The awful truth had set me free. As he went back to his police car, I had a realization. I had been one of those gorgeous blondes (金发美女) who could bat her eyelashes and get out of tickets. I drove home under the speed limit, and I was smiling like a beauty queen.62. The author was stopped by the police officer because _.A. he didnt have a license B. he forgot to re-registerC. he was seriously ill D. he drove too fast63. The author moved to Virginia probably because _.A. he was homesick B. he served in the army thereC. Virginia had better hospitals D. his family could be better cared for64. On hearing about the authors cancer, the police officer _.A. said it was an excuse B. doubted his honestC. showed sympathy for him D. asked him to show his scars65. It can be inferred from the passage that the author was _.A. optimistic B. adventurous C. dishonest D. romanticDMost drinks stating that they are fruitflavored (水果味道的) contain no fruit at all, while most of the rest contain only a small quantity of fruit, according to a study carried by the British Food Commission.“Shoppers need to check the labels before buying drinks, though sometimes the actual content can be nonexistent，” said Food Commission spokesperson Ian Tokelove. “Food production is highly competitive. _66_ It will increase profits, and consumers wont always realize they are being tricked.”Flavorings are focused on the flavors of natural food products such as fruits, meats and vegetables, or creating flavor for food products that do not have the desired flavors. Researchers analyzed the contents of 28 strawberryflavored products sold in stores. _67_ Of the 11 products that did contain strawberries, five of them contained less than one percent real fruit. In addition, each juice box contained nearly eight teaspoons of sugar._68_ Lets take jam as an example. Some strawberryflavored jam was labeled as containing no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners, but it contained absolutely no strawberries at all._69_ Consumers have the rights to know clearly about what they have bought. Under current UK law, food packages do not have to distinguish between natural and artificial flavoring. “Describing a product as strawberry flavor and covering the surface of the packet with pictures of strawberries is misleading. _70_ Unfortunately, it is also legal and widespread，” Tokelove said. “Its time to take measures to protect the consumers rights.”A. The products which contain real fruit are popular with people.B. Even
