She surfs in competitions around the world. But life for her is queer with twists and turns. She has fought her way through ups and downs. And now she has become a source of inspiration for millions through her story of faith, determination and hope. Her story has become a major movie which is named Soul Surfer. On October 31, 2003, at the age of 13, Bethany was attacked by a 15-foot tiger shark while surfing just off the shore of Hawaii. Bethany said, “It came out of the blue. I had no warning at all; not over the slightest sign of danger. That’s all it took: a split second. I felt a lot of pressure and a couple of lightning fast fugs (猛拽). Then I watched in shock as the water around me turned bright red. Somehow, I stayed calm. My left arm was gone along with a huge piece of my surfboard…” After losing more than 40 percent of her blood and making it through several surgeries, Bethany was well on her way to recovery due to an unbelievably positive attitude. She determined to go back again. In January 2004, Bethany made her return to surf competition and with no intention of stopping, Bethany continued to shine in competitions. Initially, she adopted a custom-made (定制的) board that was longer and slightly thicker than standard and had a handle for her right arm, making it easier to paddle, and she learned to kick more to make up for the loss of her left arm. Just over a year after the attack, she took first place — winning her first National Title. Now she competes with the world’s best and travels the globe. She says that she has learned a lot about life, love, and being strong. However, although so many things have happened to her, she says she is still just a surfer. 41. What did Bethany say about the attack? A. It happened because of the strange waves. B. It made her disappointed. C. It happened unexpectedly. D. It occurred due to her unusual surfing gestures. 42.

The events took place in Olympia, Greece. The athletes were all male citizens of the city-states from every corner of the Greek world. Women were not even allowed to watch the games. The first Olympics were organised in 776 BC, when Koroibos, a cook from the nearby city of Elis, won a 600-foot-long foot race (竞走), the only event at that Olympics. This race remained the only athletic event at the first 13 Olympics, until 724 BC when a new foot race was added. The Olympics were held in Olympia every four years and became a splendid part of Ancient Greek culture for about 12 centuries. Although Olympia was the first place where the ancient Olympic Games were staged, it took about 1, 500 years for the Olympics to return. Pierre de Coubertin, who came from France, got the idea of resurrecting the Olympics in 1889. His idea was originally for educational purposes, but it was approved by the participating delegates (代表) of an international conference in Paris in 1894, and then the first modern Olympics were held two years later. Athens, the capital of Greece served as the first host. The marathon competition was first introduced among the 43 events at the 1896 Athens Olympics. The long-distance running is in memory of Pheidippides, an ancient messenger who is said to have run from the battlefield of Marathon to Athens to announce that the Persians had been defeated in the Battle of Marathon. The long distance that Pheidippides ran and his death is the source of the modern marathon, a symbol of endurance and spirit in sport. Today the marathon has become an important event for Olympic Games and other independent long-distance running competitions in modern society. The distance of 26 miles 385 yards (42.195 km) was first used at the 1908 Olympic Games in London, measured between the starting-point at Windsor Castle and the finish at White City Stadium, and was later adopted as the standard in 1921. 46. Which of the following is true about the ancient Olympic Games? A. Koroibos was the first winner of the ancient Olympic Games. B. People from all areas of the Greek world could join the Olympics. C. The Olympics were originally held by Zeus, according to Greek Myth. D. Before 724 BC, the athletes could attend two types of races in the Olympics. 47. What is the meaning of the underlined word “resurrecting” in Paragraph 3? A. Turning down. B. Setting out. C. Bringing back. D. Taking up. 48. What had happened before the international conference in Paris in 1894? A. Athens served as the host city of the first modern Olympics. B. Pierre de Coubertin asked to organize the Olympic Games in Paris. C. The Olympic Games had been held in Olympia for 1500 years. D. The tradition of having the Olympic Games had been long lost. 49. What do we know about the marathon from the article? A. The distance Pheidippides ran was 42.195 kilometres. B. The marathon was one of the 43 ancient Olympic events. C. The marathon aims at memorizing a battle Greek army won. D. Marathon competitions are not just held in the Olympics. 50. Who are the intended readers of this article? A. People who like to read news on education. B. People who are interested in sports history. C. People who want to learn about Greek culture. D. People who hope to participate in the Olympics. 第三部分：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） At a comedy night at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, members of the school’s Stand-up Comedy Club (单口喜剧俱乐部) bring lots of laughter to their schoolmates. They give funny speeches, tell jokes and make humorous body movements. These college student comedians may feel unsure of themselves at first, but the experience is highly enjoyable. Their humor entertains their schoolmates and helps relieve the stress of these young, busy audience. Ariella Shua joined the club last year. She says she has become a better observer of what is going on around her. She does not go anywhere without bringing something on which she can take notes. Later, when she’s trying to write her own set, she can look through it to see if there is anything that she can use. Every school wants its students to perform best in their studies, but some colleges and universities also motivate their students to explore their abilities and develop interests beyond their field of study. Joining an on-campus club is a good way to do that. Nicholas Scandura, the president of the comedy club, finds that writing is one of the many skills he has developed since joining the club. “Writing jokes is really fun,” he said. “It takes much critical thinking.” The club gives its members a sense of community. When they meet, they share funny experiences, tell jokes and laugh. Over the past ten years, stand-up comedy clubs have become common on college campuses in America. He said now everyone wants to do it because the culture of stand-up has gotten a lot of media attention and become more popular. Last year, Harry Kuperstein joined the club and discovered it was a natural fit. Noticing the funny qualities of different situations improved his way of looking at the world. Becoming an active member also helped him work on the future skills he will need as a medical doctor. “When talking to patients as a doctor, I think that having jokes ready to go might help smooth these interactions.” he said. 51. According to the passage, what is the contribution of the student comedians at Johns Hopkins University? (no more than 15 words) 52. Why does Ariella Shua try to take notes wherever she goes? (no more than 10 words) 53. What does the underlined word mean in Paragraph 3? (1 word)? 54. How will the club experience benefit Harry Kuperstein’s with his future career? (no more than 10 words) 55. Do you think laughter plays an essential role in your life? Please explain it. (no more than 25 words) 第四部分：书面表达（本大题共1小题，共15分） 56．假设你是你校“心灵成长俱乐部”（“Spiritual Growth Club”）的部长李华。你们俱乐部将举办一场题为“跨越荆棘，收获芬芳（Overcoming Thorns, Gaining Fragrance）”的英语主题分享会。请用英语给你的国际朋友Chris写一封电子邮件，邀请他参加。 内容主要包括： 1．介绍分享会的目的与主要环节（例如：故事分享、小组讨论等）； 2．结合你自己一次曾经遇到并最终克服困难的真实经历，谈谈你认为克服困难最重要的品质是什么； 3．真诚地邀请Chris参加，并鼓励他/她也可以分享自己的故事。 注意： （1）词数不少于100词； （2）可适当加入细节，使内容充实、行文连贯； （3）开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Chris, Yours, Li Hua 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
