Years ago, in a small fishing village in Holland, a young boy taught the world about the rewards of unselfish service.
Because the entire village lived on fishing, a volunteer rescue team was needed in case of emergency. One night, the winds   36  , the clouds burst and a strong storm overturned a fishing boat at sea. The crew in trouble   37  the SOS. The captain of the rescue rowboat team   38  the alarm and the villagers   39  in the town square overlooking the sea. When the team started their rowboat fought their way through the wild waves, the villagers waited   40  on the beach, holding lamps to   41  the way back.
An hour later, the rescue boat reappeared through the fog and the   42  villagers ran to greet them. Falling   43  on the sand, the volunteers reported that the rescue boat could not hold any more   44   and they had to leave one man behind. Even one more passenger would have surely   45 the rescue boat and all would have been lost.
   46  , the captain called for another volunteer team to   47  the survivor. Sixteen-year-old Hans stepped forward. His mother grabbed his arm, crying, "please don't go. Your father   48 in a shipwreck  (船只失事) 10 years ago and your elder brother, Paul, has been lost　　49  for three weeks. Hans, you are all I have left."
Hans replied, "Mother, I have to go.    50  everyone said I can't go, let someone else do it? Mother, this time I have to do my duty. When the call for service   51 , we all need to take our turn and do our part. Hans kissed his mother, joined the team and   52  into the night. "
Another hour passed, which seemed to Hans' mother like a century.    53   the rescue boat dashed through the fog with Hans standing up in the bow.    54 his hands, the captain called, "did you find the lost man?"    55  able to control himself, Hans excitedly cried back, "Yes, we found him. Tell my mother it's my elder brother, Paul!"

From Monday until Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evenings and on weekends they are free to relax and enjoy themselves. Some watch TV or go to the movies; others take part in sports. It depends on individual interest. There are many different ways to spend our spare time.
Almost everyone has some kind of hobby. It may be anything from collecting stamps to making model airplanes. Some hobbies are very expensive, but others don’t cost anything at all. Some collections are worth a lot of money; others are valuable only to their owners.
I know a man who has a coin collection worth several thousand dollars. A short time ago he bought a rare fifty-cent piece worth $250！He was very happy about his purchase (buying) and thought the price was reasonable. On the other hand, my youngest brother collects matchboxes. He has almost 600 of them but I doubt if they are worth any money. However, to my brother they are extremely valuable. Nothing makes him happier than to find a new matchbox for his collection.
That’s what a hobby means, I guess. It is something we like to do in our spare time simply for the fun of it. The value in dollars is not important, but the pleasure it gives us is.
小題1:The word “individual” in the first paragraph most probably means        .
A．differentB．strangeC．secretD．one’s own
小題2:According to the passage, most people are          from Monday until Friday.
A．free to relax and enjoy themselvesB．busy working or studying
C．free to take part in sports gamesD．busy watching TV and going to the cinema

On March 5, 2009, Michael Jackson stood in front of crowds of fans．Before screaming fans, he pronounced with pumping arms: "This is it!"
A few months later, Jackson was dead．With the late pop star’s return to radio, television and the cultural events, Forbes judges that Jackson has made $90 million since his death June 25．This figure is based on his royalties（版稅） from album sales, radio play, rights to his name and royalties from his stock in the Sony/ATV music catalog （編目權(quán)）．
Jackson's music was his most easily-seen source in the last months．“Nothing increases the value of an artist than death ．．．a(chǎn)n untimely death,” says Barry Massarsky, a music industry economist．
The music's immediate value was clear．Since June, Jackson has sold more than 5．9 million albums in the U．S．a(chǎn)nd another 4．5 million overseas．In the first weeks after his death, there were 5．6 million single downloads across North America, Europe and Australia．Jackson recently has three of the top 20 best-selling albums of the year in the US, according to Nielsen SoundScan．His 2003 hits album Number Ones is the best seller of the year, beating Taylor Swift's Fearless．
More than 500,000 Jackson ringtones and 100,000 music videos were sold．In the week following his death, songs by The Jackson 5, The Jacksons and Michael were played over 100,000 times on the radio, according to Nielsen BDS．
Jackson's estate（遺產(chǎn)）will likely see more money by the end of this year, as it has rights to some of the profits from This Is It as well as the two-disc album of the same name．The estate will share 90% of the film profits with AEG．
Ticket sales from an exhibit opening in London will also contribute a likely profit．Hundreds of Jackson's personal belongings－h(huán)is L．A．Rolls Royce etc－will remain on show for three months at the O2 Arena for fans willing to shell out $25 for a view．
The pop singer bought ATV Publishing, for $47．5 million in 1985．Ten years later, he sold the catalog to Sony for $95 million and took a 50% stock in Sony/ATV, which is now worth about $1．7 to $2 billion．So he still owned half the Sony/ATV catalog at his death．
Jackson's future earning potential is based on his stock in valuable music as well as the value of his image（肖像）．As many musicians, actors and artists before him, Jackson's fame could have a long tail on the market with allowable products, advertising and entertainment events．
小題1:What do Barry Massarsky’s words in Paragraph 3 imply?
A．Jackson died at the time as expected．
B．Only at death can an artist become famous．
C．Jackson became more famous at death than when he was alive．
D．Jackson’s unexpected death raised his value as an artist immediately．
小題2:All the following is true EXCEPT that _____．
A．“This is it” is the last concert that Jackson gave
B．Jackson has sold 10．4 million albums since June
C．Jackson’s L．A．Rolls Royce is now for show and will finally be sold
D．Jackson’s stock in music and his image will keep on earning money in the future
小題3:What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Jackson’s album Number Ones beat Taylor Swift’s Fearless in 2003．
B．Taylor Swift’s Fearless is the second best seller of music albums of 2009．
C．AEG takes in more film profits from “This is it” than Jackson’s estate．
D．More Jackson’s music videos were sold than his ringtones right after his death．
小題4:What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Why Michael Jackson’s music is so popular all over the world．
B．How Michael Jackson has earned $90 million in the months since his death．
C．What Michael Jackson's future earning potential is based on．
D．How much Michael Jackson earned in the first few months after his death．

James Cleveland Owens was the son of a farmer and the grandson of black slaves. His family moved to Cleveland when he was 9.There, a school teacher asked the youth his name.
"J.C., "he replied.
She thought he had said "Jesse", and he had a new name.
Owens ran his first race at age 13.After high school, he went to Ohio State University. He had to work part time so as to pay for his education. As a second?  year student in the Big Ten games in 1935, he set even more records than he would in the Olympic Games a year later.
A week before the Big Ten meet, Owens accidentally fell down a flight of stairs. His back hurt so much that he could not exercise all week, and he had to be helped in and out of the car that drove him to the meet. He refused to listen to the suggestions that he give up and said he would try, event by event. He did try, and the results are in the record book.
The stage was set for Owens victory at the Olympic Games  in Berlin the next year,  and his success would come to be regarded as not only athletic but also political. Hitler did not congratulate any of the African?American winners.

Having returned from Berlin,  he received no telephone calls from the president of his own country,  either. In fact, he was not honored by the United States until 1976, four years before his death.
Owens? Olympic victories  made little difference to him. He earned his living by looking after a school playground, and accepted money to race against cars, trucks,  motorcycles and dogs.
"Sure, it bothered me, "he said later." But at least it was an honest living. I had to eat."

“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton（骨骼）in the closet（衣櫥）?” Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully. “Well, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a(chǎn) skeleton in his family’s closet. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”
“Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t your great-great-grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.
After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank in a faint（暈倒）, waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.
“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re both crazy,” she thought.
小題1:
According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means ______.
A． a family honorB． a family secret
C． a family storyD． a family treasure
小題2:
What can we learn about some Australians’ ancestors from Paragraph 2?
A． They were brought to Australia as prisoners.
B． They were the earliest people living in Australia.
C． They were involved in some crimes in Australia.
D． They were not regarded as criminals in their days.

C． She needed it for her school task.D． She intended to scare her parents.

Being the head of a high school for many years, I grew tired of budget meetings, funding cuts, and many other administrative chores(雜務(wù)). I started to dream of retirement. Sitting in traffic on a weekday morning, I would find my mind wandering. I would imagine spending time with my grandchildren, quiet evenings with my wife, traveling, or rediscovering some great books. I told myself that I wouldn’t sign myself up for any committees, any classes, or anything requiring a schedule.
My first day of retirement came at last! I cooked a great breakfast for my wife and me, leisurely read the paper, cleaned a bit of the house, and wrote a few letters to friends. On the second day, I cooked breakfast, read the paper… On the third day, … This is retirement? I tried to tell myself that it was just the transition(過渡), that those golden moments were right round the corner, and that I would enjoy them soon enough. But something was missing.
A former colleague asked a favor. A group of students was going to Jamaica to work with children in the poorest neighborhoods. Would I interrupt my newfound “happiness” and return to the students, just this once? One trip. That’s all. My bags were packed and by the door.
The trip was very inspiring. I was moved not only by the poverty I saw but also by the sense of responsibility of the young people on the trip. When I returned home, I offered to work one day a week with a local youth organization. The experience was so positive that I was soon volunteering nearly full-time, working with students across North America to assist them in their voluntary work.
Now, it seems, the tables have turned. Some days I am the teacher, other days I am the student. These young people have reawakened my commitment(責(zé)任感) to social justice issues by challenging me to learn more about the situation in the world today, where people are still poor and suffer because of greed, corruption and war. Most important, they have given me the opportunity to continue to participate in helping to find solutions. In return, I help them do their charitable projects overseas. I’ve gone from running one school to helping oversee the construction of schools in twenty-one countries!
小題1:
What did the writer expect to do after he retired?
A．To write some great books.
B．To stay away from busy schedules.
C．To teach his grandchildren.
D．To plan for his future.
小題2:
Why did the writer decide to go to Jamaica?
A．He wasn’t satisfied with his retired life.
B．He couldn’t refuse his colleague’s favor.
C．He was concerned about the people there.
D．He missed his students in that country.
小題3:
The underlined part “the tables have turned” (Paragraph 5) most probably means that the writer ______.
A．improved the situation in his school
B．felt happy to work with students again
C．changed his attitude toward his retirement
D．became a learner rather than a teacher
小題4:
What does the writer think of his retired life now?
A．Meaningful.B．Troublesome.
C．Relaxing.D．Disappointing.
