He has three children. The 37 thing is, his wife is dead. He only has a married sister who might take them 38 she lives on the other side of the Sierras. And the snow is too 39 to get any mail across the mountains.”John went on working, but his thoughts were on the snow-covered 40 through the mountains. He remembered 41 as a boy he had climbed snow mountains on snowshoes. He examined the wood. Then and there he decided to make a pair of snowshoes out of it.After he made them he began to practise on his snowshoes until he felt 42 of himself. Then he showed his neighbors how his snowshoes 43 .Stepping forward, one of the town elders spoke up. “If you are ready. Go ahead and carry the mail.” With neither tracks nor paths to 44 , he moved ahead on what he believed to be the proper 45 . As he went up the mountains the wind and cold could barely slow him down.When darkness 46 . John still moved on, guided by the stars. It was late into the night when he finally decided to stop. He must save his 47 for the long journey still ahead.Finding the stump of a tree, he set it on 48 . Then he made a platform of branches on the snow. Stretching out on it with his feet to the fire and the mailbag under his head, he fell asleep.After three days of traveling, he 49 smoke curling upward from the chimneys. John knew he was nearing the town. As he glided into town, people 50 out of their homes and gathered around him. They started in 51 at the blue-eyed man on strange snowshoes.“I brought you mail from Placerville,” John said simply.The following day the sister of the dead miner gave John a letter, “Ill come 52 the chidren as soon as the pass is clear.” She told him.For the next five winters, 53 paid little, snow-shoes John went on steadily carrying the mail. For many years John was talked about as the famous mail-carrying 54 of the Far West. He was also 55 for the shoes he wore. They were the first snow-shoes, ever seen in California.36Afact Bexpressions Cnews Dreality37Asorry Bharmful Cfirst Dhappy38Aand Bbut Cso Dunless39Acold Bfreezing Cdeep Dfallen40Avillage Bpart Cpass Dstreet41Ahow Bwhat Cwhy Dwhen42Atired Bproud Cafraid Dsure43Adid Bworked Cwore Dtook44Atravel Bpass Cfollow Dlook45Acause Bcourse Cbeginning Dbranch46Asank Bfell Chappened Dremained47Astrength Btime Cfood Dmoney48Aplace Bbed Cboard Dfire49AsightedBsmelled Cheard Dtasted50Akept Bpoured Cpicked Dstayed51Apublic Border Cfear Dsurprise52Afor Bat Con Dto53Aif Bhowever Calthough Dbecause54Apassenger Bguide Chero Dteacher55Arecognized Breported Cremembered Drealized第二部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项。（A）Tom Brennan was working in a Philadelphia office building when he noticed a black bag. The bag contained a book.This chance discovery ended a 12-day search by the Library Company of Philadelphia for a historical treasurea 120-page diary kept 190 years ago by Deborah Logan, “a woman who knew everybody in her day”, James Green, the Librarian told the magazine American Libraries.Most of the diary is a record of big events in Philadelphia. It also includes a description of British soldiers burning Washington, D.C. in the war of 1812. She describes President James Madison on horseback as “Perfectly shaking with fear” during the troubled days. George Washington, she writes, mistook her for the wife of a French man, and praised her excellent English.The adventure of the lost book began September 4 when Cory Luxmoore arrived from England to deliver the diary of his ancestor to the Library Company, which he and his wife considered to be the best home for the diary.Green told American Libraries he had the diary in his possession “about five minutes” when Luxmoore took it back because he had promised to show it to one other person. On returning to his hotel after showing the precious book to Green, Luxmoore was shocked to realize that he had left it in the taxi.Without any delay, Green began calling every taxi company in the city, with no luck. “Ive felt sick since then:, Luxmoore told reporters.According to Green, no one has yet learned how the diary came to the office building. Tom Breman received a reward of $1,000, Philadelphia gained another treasure for his history, and Luxmoore told reporters, “Its wonderful news, Im on high.”56This article mainly tells about the story of .Aa lost diary BDeborah Logan CCory Luxmoore Dthe Library Company57From the text, we learn that the diary is now owned by .ATom Brennan Ban unknown personCa Philadelphia magazine Dthe Library Company of Philadelphia58Philadelphia is thought to be the best home for the diary because .Ait was written in PhiladelphiaBit tells stories about PhiladelphiaCpeople in the city are interested in old thingsDthe British and the Americans once fought in Philadelphia59Which of the following shows the right order of what happened to the diary?aTom Brennan found the book in an office buildingbThe book was shown to James GreencCory Luxmoore arrived from EnglanddThe book was left behind a taxiAabcd Bcbda Cacdb Dcabd60What did Cory Luxmoore mean when he said “Im on high”?AIm rich BIm famous CIm excited DIm lucky（B）We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us dont do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.So, you have to give a speech-and youre terrified. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over words, you talk too long, and you bore your audience. Later you think, “Thank goodness, its over, Im just no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”Cheer up! It doesnt have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow Use as many examples as possible, and use pictures, charts, and graphs if they will help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Dont talk over their heads, and dont talk down to them. Treat your audience with respect. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.Just remember; be prepared. Know your subject, your audience, and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps, youll see that you dont have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! Youre not convinced yet? Give it a try and see what happens.61The main idea of this article is .Ayou can improve your speaking abilityBa poor speaker can never change.Calways make a short speech.Dit is hard to make a speech.62Paragraph 2 implies that _.Amany people are afraid of giving a speechBmany people are happy to give a speechCmany people do not prepare for a speechDmany people talk too long63All of the following statements are true except that _.Afew people know how to make good speechesBa lecturer does not need to organize his speechCresearch is important in preparing a speechDthere are simple steps you can take to improve your speaking ability64The title for this passage may be _.ADo Not Make a Long SpeechBHow to Give a Good SpeechCHow to Prepare for a SpeechDTry to Enjoy a SpeechCThirty-two people watched Kitty Genovese being killed right below their windows. She was their neighbor. Yet none of the 32 helped her. Not one even called the police. Was this in gunman cruelty? Was it lack of feeling about ones fellowman?“Not so, ”say scientists John Barley and Bib Fatane. These men went beyond the headlines to research into the reasons why people didnt act. They found that a person has to go through two steps before he can help. First he has to notice that is an emergency. Suppose you see a middle aged man fall to the side-walk. Is he having a heart attack? Is he in a coma(昏迷)from a headache? Or is he about to sleep off a drunk?Is the smoke coming into the room from a leak(漏洞)in the air conditioning? Is it “steam pipes”? Or is it really smoke from a fire? Its not always easy to tell if you are faced with a real emergency. Second, and more important, the person faced with an emergency must feel personally responsible. He must feel that he must help, or the person wont get the help he needs.The researchers found that a lot depends on how many people are around. They had college students in to be “tested.” Some came alone. Some came with one or two others. And some came in large groups. The researchers started them off on the “tests.” Then they went into the next room. A curtain divided the “testing room” and the room into which they went. Soon the students heard a scream, the noise of book shelves falling and a cry for help. All of this had been prerecorded on a tape recorder.Eight out of ten of the students taking the test alone acted to help. Of the students in pairs, only two out of ten helped. Of the students in groups, none helped.In other words, in a group, Americans often fail to act. They feel that others will act. They, themselves, neednt. They do not feel any direct responsibility.Are people bothered by situations where people are in trouble? Yes. Scientists found that the people were shocked, they sweated, and they had trembling hands. They felt the other persons trouble. But they did not act. They were in a group. Their actions were shaped by the actions of those they were with.65Which of the following is NOT true?AWhen a person tries to help others, he must be clear that there is real emergency.BWhen a person tries to help others, he should know whether they are worth his help.CA person must take the full responsibility for safety of those in emergencies if he wants to help.DA person with a heart attack needs the most.66The main reason why people fail to act when they stay together is that _.Athey are afraid of emergenciesBthey are not willing to get themselves involvedCothers will act if they themselves hesitateDthey do not have any direct responsibility for those who need help67The author suggests that _.Awe shouldnt blame a person if he fails to act in emergenciesBa person must feel guilty if he fails to helpCpeople should be responsible for themselves in emergenciesDwhen you are in trouble, people will help you anywayDAnimation means making things which are lifeless come alive and move.Since earliest times, YC people have always been astonished by movement. But not until this century have we managed to take control of movement, to record it , and in the case of animation, to retranslate it and recreate it. To do all this, we use a movie camera and a projector(放映机).In the world of cartoon animation, nothing is impossible. You can make the characters do exactly what you want them to do.A famous early cartoon character was Felix the Cat, created by Pat Sullivan in America in the early nineteen twenties. Felix was wonderful cat. He could do all sorts of things no natural cat could do like taking off his tail, using it as handle and then putting it back.Most of the great early animators lived and worked in America, the home of the moving picture industry. The famous Walt Disney cartoon characters came to life after 1928. Popeye the Sailor and his girl friend Olive Oyo were born at Max Ficischer in 1933.But to be an animator, you dont have to be a professional. It is possible for anyone to make a simple animated film without using a camera at all. All you have to do is to draw directly on to an empty film and then run the film
