Looking down, I immediately recognized that something was wrong, and ran down to the edge of the near bank. There I saw Ma Shwe with her three-month-old calf struggling in the fast-rising water, and it was a life-and-death struggle. Her calf was floating and screaming with fear. Ma Shwe was as near to the far bank as she could get, holding her whole body against the rushing water, and keeping the calf against her huge body. Every now and then the rushing water would sweep the calf away.There was a sudden rise in the water and the calf was washed clean over the mothers body and was gone. Ma Shwe turned quickly to reach it and pressed the calf with her head and trunk(象鼻） against the rocky bank, Then with a huge effort, she picked it up in her trunk and tried until she was able to place it on a narrow shelf of rock.Just at this moment she fell back into the river. If she were carried down, it would be certain death. I knew, as well as she did, that there was one spot(地点）where she could get up the bank, but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf.While I was wondering what I could do next, I heard the sound of a mothers love. Ma Shwe had crossed the river and got up the bank and was making her way back as fast as she could , roaring (吼叫) all the time, but to her calf it was music.56. The moment the author got down to the river bank he saw .A. the calf was about to fall into the river.B. Ma Shwe was placing the calf on the rock.C. the calf was washed away by the rising water.D.

A Matter of Life and DeathBSir Steven RedgraveWinner of 5Olympic Gold MedalsIn 1997 I was found to have developed diabetes(糖尿病). Believing my career(职业生涯） was over, I felt extremely low. Then one of the specialists said there was no reason why I should stop training and competing. That was it the encouragement I need .I could be a winner if I believe in myself. I am not saying that it isnt difficult sometimes. But I wanted to prove to myself that I wasnt finished yet. Nothing is to stand in my way.Karen PickeringSwimming World ChampionI swim 4 hours a day, 6 days a week. I manage that sort of workload by putting it on top of my diary. This is the key to success-you cant follow a career in any field without being well-organized. List what you believe you can achieve. Trust yourself, write down your goals for the day, however small they are, and youll be a step closer to achieving them.Kirsten BestPoet &WriterWhen things are getting hard, a voice inside my head tells me that I cant achieve something. Then there are other distractions, such as family or hobbies. The key is to concentrate. When I feel tense, it helps a lot to repeat words such as calm ,peaceor focus,either out loud or silent in my mind. It makes me feel more in control and increase my confidence. This is a habit that can become second nature quite easily and is a powerful psychological(心理的）tool60.What does Sir Steven Redgrave mainly talk about?A. Difficulties influenced his career B.

Self-confidenceCWhen students and parents are asked to rate subject according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music in nice, people seem to say ,but not important. Too often it is viewed as more entertainment, but certainly not an education priority(优先）. This view is shortsighted. In fact ,music education is beneficial and important for all students.Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflect their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music represents a lifestyle just as surely as does a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musician introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.Music provides a kind of perception(感知）that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive (情感的）meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one of simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings talk to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses. Science and technology do not tell us what is means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.64.According to Paragraph 1, students .A. regard music as a way of entertainmentB. disagree with their parents on education C. view music as on overlooked subjectD. prefer the arts to science65.In Paragraph 2, the author uses jazz as an example to . A. compare it with rock music B. show music identifies a society C. introduce American musical traditionsD. prove music influence peoples lifestyles66. According to the passage, the arts and science .A. approach the world from different anglesB. explore different phenomena of the worldC. express peoples feeling in different waysD. explain what it means to be human differently67.What is the main idea of the passage?A. Music education deserves more attentionB. Music should be of top education priority.C. Music is an effective communication tool.D. Music education makes students more imaginativeDAndrew Ritchie, inventor of the Brompton folding bicycle, once said that the perfect portable bike would be like a magic carpet. You could fold it up and into your pocket or handbag . Then he paused: But youll always be limited by the size of the wheels. And so far no one has invented a folding wheel.It was a rare-indeed unique-occasion when I was able to put Ritchie right. A 19th-century inventor, William Henry James Grout, did in fact design a folding wheel. His bike, predictably named the Grout Portable, and a flame that spilt into two and a large wheel that could be separated into four pieces. All the bits fitted into Grouts Wonderful Bag, a leather case.Grouts aim: to solve the problems of carrying a bike on a train. Now doesnt that sound familiar? Grout intended to find a way of making a bike small enough for train travel: his bike was a huge beast. And importantly, the design of early bicycle gave him an advantage: in Grouts day , tyres were soild, which made the business of splitting a wheel into four separate parts relatively simple. You couldnt do the same with a wheel fitted with a one-piece inflated(充气的) tyre.So, in a 21st-century context, is the idea of the folding wheel dead? It is not. A British design engineer, Duncan Fitzsimons, has developed a wheel that can be squashed into something like a slender ellipse (椭圆）. Throughout, the tyre remains inflated.Will the young Fitzsimonss folding wheel make it into production? I havent the foggiest idea. But his inventiveness shows two things. First, people have been saying for more than a century that bike design has reached its limit, except for gradual advances. Its as silly a concept now as it was 100 years ago: theres plenty still to go to for. Second ,it is in the field of folding bike that we are the most interesting inventions. You can buy a folding bike for less than 1,000 that can be knocked down so small that it can be carried on a plane-minus wheels, of course-as hand baggage.Folding wheels would make all manner of things possible. Have we yet got the magic carpet of Andrew Ritchies imagination? No. But its progress.68.We can infer from Paragraph 1 that the Brompton folding bike .A. was portableB. had a folding wheelC. could be put in a pocketD. looked like a magic carpet69.We can learn from the text that the wheel of the Grout Portable .A. were difficult to separateB. could be split into 6 p
