The person I admire most is not famous at all, yet in my mind his achievements are as important as those of any historical figure. Gary is a fellow classmate of mine at college, and for him this is a major .

We know that Gary suffers from a , which makes it almost impossible for him to his movements. As a result, he will his life in a wheelchair. He cannot write with a pen or a pencil, and speaks so slowly and strangely that it takes to understand what he is saying.

However, behind his appearance, Gary is a warm, fun-loving, intelligent person. His disability affects his muscles, not his mind or . He enjoys the same things as any student does—listening to music, making and so on—and he is not only the best student in our class, but also has a sense of humor and genuine interest in other people.

The main why I admire him so much is that he is determined to lead a life, in spite of his physical difficulties he has to overcome. Although his prevents him from going to school, he gives himself an education by studying at home. Being unable to himself, he uses a special typewriter to write letters to his friends and beautiful poems which the true depth of his thoughts and character. Another reason why I admire Gary is that he never feels sorry for himself. He says, for instance, that being unable to move around gives him more time to think. In fact, he always to see the bright side of any situation, so instead of needing his friends to him, he actually cheers us up when we are or depressed.

I would admire Gary he didn’t have any disability; in fact he does, and to let it spoil his life, which makes him the most remarkable person I have known.

Growers around the world are using new methods to grow grapes to make wine. They use natural and organic methods to control harmful insects and weeds instead of using chemicals. Now, a winery in Canada has adopted a natural way to control its grapevines (葡萄藤). The Featherstone Winery is in southern Ontario. The grapevines, like other plants, need to be cut every year.

Cutting grapevines must be done very carefully. Only a targeted area of leaves is removed from the lower part of the vines to help the grapes grow better. But at the Featherstone Winery, no man or machine does the cutting. Instead, the job is done by 40 little wooly lambs.

David Johnson owns the vineyard (葡萄園). He says he learned about using lambs while visiting wineries in New Zealand. The young lambs are perfectly designed to do the job. They eat the grape leaves on the lower parts of the vine. But they are not tall enough to reach the grapes. They only weigh about 22 kilograms, so they do not beat down the soil. And their waste makes good organic fertilizer. In addition, using the lambs costs much less than hiring workers to cut the vines for seven weeks in summer. And when the cutting is done in August, the lambs become tasty dishes.

Mr. Johnson says he had a difficult time finding enough lambs to do the job. There are about 50 million lambs in New Zealand. But there are not nearly as many in Ontario. Also, some organic pesticides (殺蟲劑) are harmful to lambs. And the lambs must be watched to make sure they do not eat too much of the grapevines.

David Johnson says the lambs help him carry out his environmental ideas about farming. They are lovely and peaceful and he likes having them in his vineyard. People visiting the vineyard also enjoy watching the lambs do their job.

1.Farmers who grow grapes with natural and organic methods ________.

A．don't cut grapevines every year

B．don't use chemicals to control harmful insects and weeds

C．don't need to control harmful insects and weeds

D．don't use organic fertilizer

2.In order to help the grapes grow better, growers ________.

A．only have to remove the dead leaves

B．need to remove a specific area of leaves

C．shouldn't remove any part of the plants

D．should let little lambs do the cutting

3.Paragraph 4 is mainly about ________.

A．the future of getting lambs to do the cutting

B．the worries about using organic pesticides

C．the ways to get lambs to do the cutting

D．the problems related to lambs doing the cutting

4.We can infer from the passage that David Johnson ________.

A．owns several wineries in Canada

B．buys lambs from New Zealand

C．is concerned about protecting the environment

D．loves keeping lambs instead of farming

Travel Unaccompanied

Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.

Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.

In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen. It is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone.It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.

Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year.He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He said he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person，” said the 30­year­old.

Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”， which “makes you a more confident person that was ready to deal with anything”. He said: “The feeling of having conquered something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I'm dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”

The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said: “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”

1.Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?

A．Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.

B．It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.

C．It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.

D．Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.

2.Traveling alone is challenging because ________.

A．it will finally build your character

B．you have to make things on your own

C．you depend on yourself whatever happens

D．it is hard for you to prove yourself to others

3.What can we infer about Chris Richardson?

A．He started traveling at an early age.

B．He was once shot in the arm.

C．His website inspires others a lot.

D．He used to work as a salesman.

Just two years before her 100th birthday, Sensei Keiko Fukuda has become the first woman to achieve a tenth-degree black belt --- the highest rank in the martial art and combat sport judo(柔道). Fukuda is now one of only four living people who’ve earned the tenth-degree (or dan) black belt. Throughout history, only sixteen people have ever achieved this honor.

Fukuda began practicing judo in 1935 and is the only surviving student of its founder, Kano Jiguro. Urged by her teacher, she learned English to help spread judo internationally.

During a time when getting married, building a family, and becoming a housewife was the standard, Fukuda went against tradition, opting out of marriage to pursue the martial art.

“All I did was judo ... this was my marriage,” Fukuda reflected tearfully to the San Francisco Chronicle. “This is when my life destiny was set. I just never imagined how long this road would be.”

She described the Jiguro’s school, known as the Kodokan, as “old-fashioned and sexist(性別歧視的) about belts and ranks”. In fact, an order that prevented women from achieving any higher than a fifth-degree black belt kept Fukuda at that level for thirty years. She was finally promoted to sixth dan in 1972 when a woman’s division was created.

Fukuda said she approached judo and her life with the intention to “be gentle, kind and beautiful, yet firm and strong, both mentally and physically”. Fukuda said this kind of beauty is decidedly not external (外部的). “ A kind soul is inner beauty,” she explained to the paper. “I believe this is true beauty … All my life this has been my dream.”

Dream realized, the 98-year-old Sensei Keiko Fukuda continues to teach judo three times a week at a woman’s judo.

1.It can be learned from the passage that ____________.

A. Fukuda achieved the tenth-degree black belt at 97.

B. four people earned the tenth-degree black belt in history.

C. nearly all of Kano Jiguro’s students were dead.

D. the Kodokan was founded in 1935.

2.The underlined part “opting out of” in the 3rd paragraph is closest in meaning to _________.

A. choosing or welcoming B. longing for or desiring

C. keeping out of or avoiding D. missing or having no chance of

3.Why did Fukuda remain at fifth-degree black belt for so long a time?

A. It was hard for her to improve her level.

B. She suffered from a foolish rule.

C. Her family life took up too much of her time.

D. She didn’t want to improve her level.

4.Which of the following is the main idea of the passage?

A. The only surviving student of Kano Jiguro remains single.

B. The tenth-degree black belt is the highest rank in judo.

C. Sensei Keiko Fukuda spreads judo throughout the world.

D. 98-year-old woman becomes the first woman ever to earn judo’s highest-degree black belt.

Four out of ten parents in the UK spend between ￡100 and ￡500 on their children’s birthday parties, according to a survey. Four in ten parents of children under 18, who were questioned in a survey, admitted that they felt pressured into organizing more expensive birthday parties for their children than they would like to.

How much parents spend on their children’s birthday parties is one of the most frequently discussed topics on parenting websites. Here is one comment on Mumsnet summing up the thoughts of many parents: “Where we live everyone hires places, entertainers and so on. I don’t want to compare with my rich neighbors, but I want my son to have what all his classmates have.”

The research was carried out on behalf of the children’s charity, Lumos, set up by the author JK Rowling. Just 13 percent of parents spent ￡50 or less in the past year on their children’s parties.

Many children’s clowns(小丑) or entertainers charge ￡150 or more for an hour, and parents often feel it necessary to book a special place. Even without these, the cost of plates, the cake and party bags can mount up. Party Pieces, a company set up by Carole and Michael Middleton, charge about ￡16 for a birthday cake for a party with 16 guests, ￡22 for table decorations and up to ￡48 for party bags.

Many children of famous people have increasingly expensive parties, often seen in famous magazines. Suri Cruise, the daughter of actor Tom Cruise and actress Katie Holmes, enjoyed a ￡100,000 birthday party according to a report.

Georgette Mulheir of Lumos, said,“Parents in the UK are under increasing pressure to spend more and more money on birthday parties for their children and their children’s friends.”

1.What’s the main idea of this passage?

A. Children’s birthday parties put their parents under financial pressure in the UK.

B. Many parents are willing to spend more on their children’s birthday parties.

C. Parents pay more and more attention to their children’s birthday parties.

D. Children in the UK hope for more and more expensive birthday parties.

2. What does the underlined part “mount up” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Increase. B. Change. C. Exist. D. Count.

3.By the example of the birthday party for Suri Cruise, the writer probably wants to show that________.

A. famous people love their children very much

B. children of famous people can get whatever they want

C. some children of famous people have really expensive birthday parties

D. holding expensive birthday parties is common nowadays

4.In which of the following sections would you most probably read this passage?

All things change except barbers, the ways of barbers, and the surroundings of barbers. These never change. What one experiences in a barber’s shop the first time he enters one is what he always experiences in barbers’ shops afterward till the end of his days.

I got shaved this morning as usual. A man approached the door from Jones Street as I approached it from Main--a thing that always happens. I hurried up, but it was of no use; he entered the door one little step ahead of me, and I followed in and saw him take the only empty chair, the one headed by the best barber. It always happens so. I sat down, hoping that I might sit in the chair belonging to the better of the remaining two barbers, for he was a bit ahead. I watched the probabilities with strong interest. When I saw that No. 2 was gaining on No. 1, my interest grew to solicitude (擔(dān)心). When No. 1 was gradually losing the race, my solicitude rose to anxiety. When No. 1 caught up again, and both were about to finish and say “Next!” first, my very breath stood still with the suspense. But when I saw that he had lost the race by a single instant, I rose angrily and quitted the shop, to keep from falling into the hands of No. 2; for I have none of that firmness that enables a man to look calmly into the eyes of a waiting barber and tell him he will wait for his fellow-barber’s chair.

I stayed out fifteen minutes, and then went back, hoping for better luck. Unfortunately, all the chairs were occupied now, and four men sat waiting, silent, and looking bored, as men always do who are waiting their turn in a barber’s shop. I sat down and waited.

At last my turn came. A voice said “Next!” and I give in to No. 2, of course. It always happens so. I smiled and said that I was in a hurry, and it affected him as strongly as if he had never heard it.

He explored my hair with his claws and suggested that it needed trimming(修剪). I said I did not want it trimmed. He explored again and said it was pretty long for the present style. I said I had had it cut only a week before. He stopped for a moment, and then asked “who cut it?” I stared at him from the mirror and replied “You did!”. Then a dog-fight attracted his attention, and he ran to the window and stayed and watched it…

1.The author left the barber’s shop mainly because ___________.

A. he would like to wait for “No. 1” outside

B. he would rather be served by the best barber

C. he lacked the courage to tell “No. 2” his intention

D. he was angry at the slow speed of “No. 1”

2.What is the change of the author’s attitude from the moment he went into the barber’s to the moment he left it?

A. Disappointed---Anxious---Hopeful---Angry.

B. Disappointed --Hopeful---Anxious---Angry.

C. Hopeful--- Sad --- Anxious ---Angry.

D. Hopeful--- Anxious --- Angry --- Sad.

3.The underlined word “suspense” in the 2nd paragraph probably means ________.

A. loneliness                                             B. excitement

C. anxiety                                                D. hope

4.What is likely to happen next?

A. The author lost his temper.

B. “No. 2” ran out of his patience.

C. The author was well-served by “No. 2”.

D. The author also went to see the dog-fight.
