Gloria never would!” they said. But I did! And I shall always be glad. Let me tell you the story. It happened this way: I write for a big city newspaper. I wanted to write a story about making a sky jump. But I am not good at any sports. I don’t know how to swim. I can’t throw or hit a ball. How could I jump from a plane? But for an exciting story that would seem real, I had to jump. So finally I said, “I will jump! I will be afraid of nothing!” My friend John wanted to help me. “Before you jump you must learn how,” John said. I will take you to the airfield tonight. At the ground school there, you can learn how to jump. It is not hard. Then in the mountain you can jump.” On the way to the ground school, John talked and talked. Everything he said began with “don’t.” “Don’t land in the water, Gloria,” he said. “Don’t land on a road full of cars. Don’t land on top of a building.” And I became more and more afraid to try a sky jump! 36．Gloria’s friends _________ when they heard that she would jump from a plane. A. were excited B. were greatly surprised C. wanted to have a try, too D. were very pleased 37．The writer of the story might be _________.

Because she needed it for a story. D. Because she had heard too much about sky jump. 39．Gloria _________ finally. A. jumped from an airplane B. never tried a sky jump C. gave up jumping from a plane D. was too afraid to try a sky jump 40．Which of the following is NOT true? A. John took Gloria to the ground school. B. Her feeling of fear grew when John talked and talked with her. C. The ground school was not in the airfield. D. Gloria was taught many “Don’ts” before she began to learn sky jump. B Once upon a time, a king offered a prize to the artist who could paint the best picture of peace. The king received thousands of paintings from many artists. He studied each one carefully and finally decided upon two that he really liked. He now had to choose between them. The first was a painting of a beautiful calm lake with clear water. It was surrounded by green forests and high mountains. Overhead, the sky was blue with white clouds. The other painting had mountains too, but these mountains were rugged (崎岖). A huge waterfall fell down one side of the mountain. Above them was an angry sky, lit by lightning, from which heavy rain fell. Most people agreed that the first painting clearly showed a place of perfect peace. However, when the king looked at the second painting more closely, he found a tiny bush growing behind the waterfall. There, in the small bush, a mother bird had built her nest. In middle of the rush of angry water, in the wind and the noise, the mother bird sat still on her nest in perfect peace. The king chose the second painting. When asked why, he said: “Peace does not mean being in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. Peace means being in the middle of all of these things and yet still being able to find calm and quiet in your heart, and to carry on with your life. This is the true meaning of peace.” 41．According to the story, the first painting gave people a feeling of _________. A. warmth B. anger C. noise D. quietness 42．The second painting of the story expresses peace by _________. A. describing B. comparing C. speaking D. watching 43．Which of following describes the two paintings best? A. The first painting had high mountains, but the second one had small ones. B. It was sunny and the sky was blue with no clouds in the first painting. C. In the second painting, a bird stayed calm in frightening surroundings. D. In the second painting, the mother bird was frightened by the heavy rain. 44．The king chose the second painting because _________. A. it showed a new idea of peace B. there was no noise in it C. the artist worked hard on it D. it was close to nature 45．We can learn from the story that _________. A. silence means peace B. real peace means struggling against wild situations C. real peace means keeping calm in difficult situations D. peace only exists in your heart and in a quiet situation C They say that “travel is the best teacher” and there is no better example of this idea than the Ming dynasty travel writer and geographer Xu Xiake (1587-1641). His book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake, not only encouraged a love of travelling among Chinese people but provided important scientific information about the country’s land and geography. Born into a wealthy Jiangyin family, Xu became interested in books about different places at an early age and wanted to travel. When he was 18, however, Xu’s father died and so, it seemed, did his traveling dreams. He now was responsible for the family farm and taking care of his 60-year old mother as tradition required. But his mother had different ideas. Understanding her son’s love of travel and valuing the knowledge he could get from such experiences, this modern-thinking woman refused to keep her son at home. She agreed that Xu could travel for three months every year, when there was less farm work. So at the age of twenty and with his mother’s support, Xu set off for the first time, leaving behind not only his mother but his new wife as well. He would repeat this goodbye each year for most of the next 30 years. During this time, he travelled throughout the Ming kingdom, carefully studying the lands he passed through and recording his experiences and many discoveries in a diary This diary, which once had over 500,000 words, would eventually become The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake. Although rich, Xu avoided comfortable travel, preferring to go almost everywhere on foot. This way he could research the environment in detail and get a true picture of the natural world. Many of his trips were to hard-to-reach mountain areas, and through wild forests where few people lived. His willingness to face hardships came at a cost however. Progress was slow and tiring and he was frequently sick, robbed and beaten during his journeys. Sadly Xu became seriously ill during his last and longest journey, a 4-year trip through the Southwest of China. He died in 1641, soon after returning to his hometown for the last time. When his diary was finally printed years after his death, much of it had been destroyed or lost. Although incomplete, it still made Xu a travelling legend around the world. 46．What is the passage mainly about? A. The general deals of Xu Xiake’s life story. B. The difficulties Xu Xiake faced in his travels. C. The important discoveries made by Xu Xiake. D. The influence of Xu’s book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake. 47．Which of the following best describes Xu’s mother? A. Strict but interesting B. Kind but uneducated C. Helpful and hardworking D. Supportive and open-minded 48．Why did Xu prefer walking during his travels? A. It gave him the chance to meet different kinds of people. B. It helped him to save money and travel for a longer time. C. It allowed him to see and study the environment in detail. D. It was the only way to reach the places he was interested in. 49．What is true about Xu’s book The Travel Notes of Xu Xiake? A. It was only made public after Xu died. B. It made Xu very famous during his lifetime. C. It was the first travel book ever written in China. D. It was mainly about the different people of China. 50．What is the correct order for the following events from Xu’s life? a. He went on his first journey. b. His book was finally printed c. He returned to his hometown for the last time d. He developed an interest in books about other places e. He started managing the family farm after his father died. A. a-e-d-c-b B. d-e-a-c-b C. d-e-a-b-c D. e-d-a-b-c 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读短文及文后A～E选项，选出可以填入51～55各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I don’t like to look back on my college years.
