    Directions：For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A,B,C and D．Fill in each blank with a word or phrase that best fits the context．

    　　After six months of living in New Zealand, I realized one thing．Despite my 　　1　　 for greater contact with local students, 　　2　　 I initiated the contact, it wouldn’t happen．Local students are not interested in contacts with the international students, because they regard us as shy, 　　3　　 and sometimes snobby(势利的)people．Of course we know that’s not true．I want to change their opinions．

    　　After 　　4　　 the problem, I put on my“confidence mask”each morning and walked around with a smile on my face．I chatted with people whenever I had the chance．I showed that I was not afraid to 　　5　　 them, and that I was worthy of being a friend．

    　　A side-effect of my 　　6　　 confidence was that my emotions occasionally broke down Only in the 　　7　　 of my room, where no one could see, would I reveal my real emotions．All the rejections, funny looks, and 　　8　　 behind my back calling me a weirdo(古怪的人)melted into tears．Once that was done, I would put on my confidence mask once again and start a new day．

    　　It finally worked My name became known throughout the school as I appeared to be 　　9　　 and active．Slowly, I discovered that I no longer needed to put on my confidence mask．I had real friends．Instead of dragging myself to school and 　　10　　 to be happy, I was truly happy．I could not believe it when I was elected to the student government as Deputy Head boy－the first international student to receive the title．

    　　From my 　　11　　 in New Zealand, I believe one thing will always be true：If you try your best to reach your goals, you’ll achieve your 　　12　　 dreams．

    Today’s amazing newspaper headline!

    First family of four to walk to the South Pole wearing Mickey Mouse ears and clown’s shoes.

        No, not really. It isn’t true. I invented it. But I wouldn’t be surprised to see it one day soon. It seems that every week someone becomes ‘the first’ or ‘the youngest’ or ‘the oldest’ or even ‘the first married couple’ to do something that doesn’t seem to be very useful to the rest of humanity.

    This year I've seen headlines saying ‘The youngest person to sail the Atlantic alone’, ‘The youngest Briton to climb Mount Everest’, and ‘The first people to fly around the world in a hot air balloon’. Why do they do it? Don’t they have better things to do with their time and money? And why should I be interested anyway? Human beings have already climbed the highest mountains, sailed across the oceans and flown around the world. People have already reached the most remote parts of our planet. Many of these things were done a long, long time ago. There just isn’t anything left to explore nowadays. I suppose there’s still a lot of the universe left, and the bottom of the oceans is still a bit of a mystery, but you need a lot of technology to explore areas like that. So, those people who feel the need for adventure can only do things that have been done before. So they have to try and do it in a new way, or be ‘the fastest’ or ‘the youngest’ or ‘the oldest’ to do something that isn’t really new at all.

    What is so great about climbing Mount Everest these days anyway? It’s become a popular tourist trip.

    People pay thousands of dollars to be taken up the mountain by the local Sherpas, who lead the way and carry the bags. At any one time there are about a thousand people either climbing up or on their way back down. As a result, Everest is covered with rubbish and the Sherpas have to make special trips up the mountain to pick it up. The climbers are often inexperienced and when they get into trouble other people have to risk their lives to bring them down to safety. Helicopter crews have been killed trying to reach people who were stuck on the mountain.

    In January 2003 a helicopter carrying two British men crashed into the sea near Antarctica. I'm not quite sure what they were trying to be ‘the first’ or ‘the youngest’ to do. The Chilean navy picked them up after a nine-hour rescue mission that cost tens of thousands of pounds, all paid for by the Chilean and British taxpayers.

    Talking of taxpayers, many Australians are getting a bit fed up with record breakers. A lot of people trying to break sailing or rowing records get into trouble in the seas around Australia, so the Australian navy has to send ships to save them. There have been a lot of difficult, time-consuming rescue missions in recent years costing the Australian government millions of dollars. I suppose we can’t just leave them to drown, but personally, I think we should give the bill to the people who are rescued. Perhaps they would think twice about doing it if they had to pay for expensive insurance premiums（保费）. Then I wouldn’t have to read about them in the newspapers either.

    50.        The writer invents the newspaper headline in Paragraphs 1&2 to _________.

         A. persuade readers of a new theory              B. remind readers of an important event

         C. get readers interested in the topic        D. entertain readers with his humor

    51.  By saying “It’s become a popular tourist trip”, the writer actually means that ___________.

         A. it's impossible to climb up Mountain Everest without help

    B. Mount Everest is now covered with a lot of rubbish

    C. climbing Mount Everest has already lost its true meaning

         D. people without experience may get in trouble or even danger

    52.        Which of the following is the reason why many Australians dislike the record breakers?

         A. A great number of people try to break records in the seas around Australia.

         B. They have to pay for the costs of rescuing the record breakers.

         C. The Australian navy was not something intended for rescue work.

         D. The record breakers should pay for their insurance premiums themselves.

    53.        The writer’s purpose of writing this article is to______________.

         A. explain the reasons why modern people prefer to adventure

         B. criticize the newspaper headlines that get readers shocked

         C. complain about all the high taxes people have to pay

         D. question the necessity of what record breakers are doing

    54.        Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

         A. It’s All Been Done Before             B. Adventures Around the World

         C. What’s Record Breakers’ Life Like    D. Rescue Costs and Insurance

    　　Ever since I was a small girl in school, I’ve been aware of what the school textbooks say about Indians．I am an Indian and, naturally, am interested in what the schools teach about natives of this land．

    　　One day, I read that a delicacy(美味)of American Indian people was dried fish, which, according to the textbook, tasted“like an old shoe, or was like chewing on dried leather．”To this day I can remember my surprise, my anger and my sadness at reading these words．We called this wind-dried fish“sleet-shus”, and to us, it was our favorite delicacy and, indeed, did not taste like shoe leather, and didn’t rot our teeth and bring about the various dietary problem that trouble Indian people in modern times．It took many hours of long and hard work to cure the fish in just this particular fashion．Early fur traders and other non-Indians must have agreed, for they often had this food as they traveled around isolated areas．

    　　I brought the textbook home to show it to my father, leader of my tribe at that time．On this particular day, he told me in his wise and modest manner that the outside world did not understand Indian people, and that I should not let it prevent me from learning the good parts of education．

    　　At a later time in my life, I had brought a group of Indian people to the country fairgrounds to sell Indian-made arts and crafts．My group was excited to make some money by selling Indian handicrafts．We thanked the man who showed us to our booth and told him it was nice of him to remember the people of the Indian community．The man expanded a little and remarked that he liked Indian people．“In fact,”he went on to state,“we are bringing some professional Indians to do the show!”

    　　As we stood there in shock, listening to this uninformed outsider, I looked at my dear Indian companion, an eighty-year-old woman who could well remember the great chiefs of the tribe who once owned all the land of this country before the white man came bringing“civilization”, which included diseases and pollution．My friend said not a word, but took the hurt as Indian people have done for many year．

    　　Of course, we all knew that the“professional Indian”were not Indians at all, but dressed in leather and dancing their own dances．And, anyway, how does one become a“professional Indian”?

    (1)

    Which of the following statements about“sleet-shus”is true?

    [　　]

    A．

    It tasted like an old shoe．

    B．

    Eating it was like chewing on dried leather．

    C．

    It was delicious but bad for our teeth．

    D．

    It must have brought pleasure to Indians as well as early business men．

    (2)

    wants to become a“professional Indian”．

    D．

    thinks highly of modern civilization．

    (3)

    Only the Indians know how to become professional Indians．

    C．

    An Indian is a born professional Indian．

    D．

    The outside civilization can help white people become professional Indians．

    A businessman had two sons. While he gave the younger son a lot of love and gifts, he neglected (忽视) the elder son. It was completely puzzling (令人费解) and no one knew why.
    When the boys grew up, they were asked to manage the father’s business. The elder son was absorbed in the business. From morning till late in the evening, he was busy working. Within a few years, he ran the business very well and even expanded (扩大) it.
    What about the younger son? He didn't have much to do except have a good time. But the father believed that his favorite son would be a success. If the elder son could be a successful businessman, surely the younger one, with a higher education, would do much better.
    A few years later, the results of his decision became clear. Uninterested in business, the younger son continued spending his time enjoying himself. And he went out of business. But the elder son’s far smaller share (份) of business had expanded and he had proved himself to be a good decision maker.
    Ashamed at the turn of events, the father met the elder son and was angry with the younger one. The elder son, who was listening to all this quietly, suddenly said he wanted to set up an independent business and live on his own.
    “Why?” asked the father.
    “I blame (责备) one person for the way my brother has turned out, and it’s not him. You can’t blame children for the faults (过失) of their parents, can you?” asked the elder son.
    【小题1】Before the younger son went into the father’s business, he______.

    A．was interested in businessB．had achieved great success
    C．often looked down upon his brotherD．was well-educated at school
    【小题2】 Why did the father treat the two sons differently?
    A．the elder son didn’t work hardB．no one knew why he did it
    C．the younger son was hardworkingD．he wanted to do an experiment
    【小题3】Which is NOT the reason for the younger son’s going out of business?
    A．he himself didn’t work hard
    B．his father didn’t educate him properly
    C．he was not interested in business at all
    D．he was busy working every day
    【小题4】What does the text really want to teach us?
    A．Parents are responsible for children’s development.
    B．Once something is done, you should do it well.
    C．Interest is the most important for success.
    D．One has responsibility for what he himself has done.
