But this time I had 48 a bicycle from a friend of mine. I didnt know why, but once I was on the bicycle, a kind of free 49 flooded through me. The faster I rode, the faster I wanted to go! Far ahead, I rode as if my life depended on it, head down, hands grasping the handbars. I meant to get to Jinghai Bar as 50 as I could.Oh! My hands! Dont come any closer. Dont touch me! That poor 51 just couldnt get my gloves off. Each time he took a step towards me, I broke into painful shouting.

After some time, my mother arrived at the hospital, her face as 53 as a sheet, and gave me a hug.

Later, I seemed to hear faraway voices saying that my right 55 was broken. I almost burst into tears. How would I ever play the piano again?第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。ADetroit (底特律) might have a hard time hearing any more bad news after the week it just had. Toyota will soon be the worlds No. 1 automaker, while the Big Three-nowadays known as the Detroit Three, posted $7.4 billion combined loss for the three months ended Sept. 30. Even Detroits best performer, General Motors, couldnt win over Wall Street by cutting its losses to only $115 million, which is an improvement over last years third-quarter loss of $1.7 billion. The problem: despite all the factory closings and job cuts, GM, Ford and Chrysler are still losing money on every car and truck they sell in America.Whats the matter with Motown? It all comes down to the models it sells. Car buyers simply dont find them as appealing as foreign wheels, which explains why Japanese models fetch an average price of $24,289, while American cars go for just $21,597, according to a new study by car consultant Harbour Felax. Increasingly, car buyers see Detroits products as too big, too gas-thirsty or too bland.In other words, fixing Detroits product problems requires a serious check. For now, Detroit has only a quarter of the fast-growing small-car market, while nearly two thirds of its models are slow-selling ones, SUVs and minivans. No automaker can suddenly make a transfer and double its number of small cars, says GM car president Bob Lutz. But sellers want Detroit to move faster. The Japanese make over their new models every five years, while American automakers take seven or eight. Detroit has been slow to vary because it became addicted to the big profits it once made off SUVs. Only now are they making fuel-efficient cars like the Ford Edge and GMC Acadia, while the Japanese have an eight-year lead in that hot market.“Detroit needs a complete reinvention(change) of how they do business,” says Mike Jackson, CEO of AutoNation, Americas top car dealer. That reinvention will require Detroit to rethink how it conceives, designs and executes cars. Like the Japanese, Detroit needs to engineer multiple models. They need to simplify how they engineer them, so that they are easier to build, have better quality and make more money.56. Which of the following is not among the Detriot Three members?A. Chrysler B. General MotorsC. FordD. Toyota57. Despite closing some factories and cutting jobs, the Detroit Three _.A. will make profits this yearB. have stopped the lossC. are still losing moneyD. get a large improvement over last years loss58. From the passage, we know that American automakers _.A. have made a sudden transfer to make small carsB. have made big profits off SUVsC. have been making hot styles for yearsD. take up most of the fast-growing small-car market59. According to the passage, which statement about Detriots cars is NOT true?A. They are cheaper than Japanese ones now on average.B. They are too big, or too bland.C. They are as appealing as foreign wheels.D. They need more fuel than foreign cars.60. Which of the following is not included in the reinvention activities?A. Rethinking how to conceive, design, and execute cars.B. Engineering multiple models.C. Simplifying the products.D. Building complicated and expensive models.BThe booking notes of the play “the Age of Innocence”:Price: 10BOOKINGThere are four easy ways to book seats for performance:- in personThe Box Office is open Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. -8 p.m.- by telephoneRing 01324976 to reserve your tickets or to pay by credit card (Visa, MasterCard and Amex accepted)- by postSimply complete the booking form and return it to Global Theatre Box Office.- on lineComplete the on-line booking form at www.

Game hunters of the 19th century had hunted the creatures almost to extinction(绝种). Conservation efforts were so successful that, in 1967, the authorities decided they had to start culling (剔选) elephants -shooting them from helicopters and hauling their dead bodies away in trucks-to keep their populations between 6,000 and 8,000, considered to be the parks carrying capacity(容量). Few people questioned the policy, which was dro
