(建议用时：15分钟)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Annie Oakley was born in 1860 on a farm in Darke Country，Ohio，the USA and died in 1926，at the age of 66.When she was very young，she used to watch her father and his friends shoot animals.She wanted to try.But they laughed at her because they thought she was too young and not strong enough to hold a gun firmly.But she surprised them all by learning to shoot and becoming very good at it.Her family was quite poor，too poor to give Annie a good education.When she was a child，her family had to borrow money from the bank to keep their farm.Annie shot game to help her family’s farm：no rabbit was quick enough to escape her bullets.
Annie married a marksman whom she met at a shooting competition.Together they started their own shooting show and they performed in various shows around the country.
When Annie Oakley was twentyfive，the legendary Buffalo Bill saw her perform and said she was too good to perform in small shows.That year，she and her husband joined the famous“Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show”．For the seventeen years when she was part of the show，Annie was the main attraction.She was such a good shooter that standing ten meters away，she could hit a coin thrown in the air and even shoot cigarettes held between her husband’s lips.
When Annie was fortyone，she was seriously injured in a train crash.Everyone thought that would be the end of her career.But she recovered quickly and as soon as she was well enough to perform she continued to amaze her audiences for many years.
In 1946，years after her death，a musical called Annie Get Your Gun was written about Annie Oakley. However，Annie was much quieter in real life than the character in the musical.Some of the stories about her shooting skills are almost too extraordinary to be true. Annie Oakley has become a legendary figure of the Wild West.
