When she looked ahead, Florence Chadwick saw nothing but fog. Her body was nearly frozen. She had been swimming for almost 16 hours. At the age of 34, her goal was to become the first woman to swim from Catalina land to the California coast.
On the morning of July 4, 1952, the sea was like an ice bath and fog was so thick that she could hardly see the boats that supported her. She tried to go on, hour after hour, while millions watched her on national television.
In one of the boats near Florence, her mother and her trainer watched her. They told her it wasn’t much farther. But all she could see was fog. They encouraged her not to give up. But, with only a half mile to go, she asked to be helped out of the water.
Still warming her cold body several hours later, she told a reporter :“If I could have seen the land, I might have made it.” It was not tiredness or even the cold water that defeated her. It was the fog. She couldn’t see her goal.
Two months later, she tried again. This time, though, the fog was the same thick, she swam with her goal
13
clear in her mind. She knew that somewhere behind that fog was land, and this time, she succeeded! Florence Chadwick became the first woman to swim the Catalina Channel, beating the men’s record by two hours!
( )51.When did Florence had the goal to become the first woman to swim from Catalina Island to
the California coast?
A. At the age of 16 B. At the age of 19 C. At the age of 34 D. At the age of 4
( )52. What defeated her when she first swam in the Channel?
A. The coldness B. The fog C. Her tiredness D. Her fear
( )53. What helped Florence succeed the second time?
A. Her mother’s encouragement. B. The men’s record.
C. Her goal in her mind. D. The good weather.

There are about 80,000,000 mines(地雷) under the ground in more than 60 countries. It is difficult and dangerous to clear these mines. About 50 people including many children were killed or hurt each day. In 2003, APOPO, a Dutch research company that trains the animals, came up with the idea of using rats to search for the mines.
The animal trainers found that a kind of rats from Africa were clever and had a sharp sense of smell. The rats were about 75 cm long and weighed about 1.35kg, light enough to run across a minefield without setting off the mines.
In January 2004, the APOPO started this project. First, the trainers let the 4-week-old baby rats get familiar with humans. A few weeks later, the rats were no longer afraid of people and the things around them. Then they were trained to connect a click sound with food. After the rats had learned that, the trainers then taught them to tell the difference between the smell of mines and other smells. When the rats could do it, the click was sounded and they were given a bit of banana. The method was called clicker training. “The training isn’t easy,” said trainer Abdullah Mchomvu. “You have to be patient. Sometimes I get angry, but then again, I tell myself these are animals”.
After nine months’ training, the rats were taken to a minefield. They ran across the minefield, stopped, sat and searched the ground to tell the domineers(排雷员) that they smelt out a mine. Then the mine was cleared. It had taken two domineers a day to clear a 200㎡ minefield, but with the help of two rats they could finish it in two hours.
The rats and the domineers saved thousands of lives, “The rats did this job much better than we expected. So far they have helped to make almost 2,000,000㎡of land safe. “They are heroes”. Said Bart Weetjens, the head of the APOPO.
( )54. While training the rats, the trainers have to be _______________.
A. patient B. clever C. brave D. serious
( )55. Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Each day about 50 children were killed or hurt by mines.
B. The APOPO started to train the rats in January 2004.
C. The trainers gave the rats food after they smelt out a mine.
D. The rats and the domineers saved thousands of lives.
( )56. What does the passage mainly tell us about?
A. Mines are all over the world and very dangerous B. Rats are very clever and useful.
C. It is very difficult for people to find out the mines D. People can train the rats to help them clear mines
D
Many people in the United States and throughout the world enjoy bird watching or “birding”. A report by the U.S. Wildlife Service showed that over 50 million Americans watched birds. There are many reasons why birding has become so popular, but one of the main reasons is how easy it is to start. Birding is an activity that almost
13
anyone can do regardless of (不论) age, physical size and strength, or experience; Also, it can be done alone or as part of a group of other birding enthusiasts. A city park, a field, a forest, or even a friend’s backyard are all good places to start. This makes the fun of bird watching open to everyone.
binocular
The basics of bird watching are simple. Bird watching is “the observation of birds in their natural home.” All you need to start is the time and place to look for birds and a small notebook to record notes about the birds you see. Any pair of binoculars you can use will also help.
Here are some tips to help you get the most out of joining “the birding boom (热潮)”:
1. When you first find a bird, try to name it. Take notes about the bird’s size, appearance, and the sounds it makes; later, ensure your sighting with a field guide or other bird watching books.
2. Record the date and time of each bird you see. That way you’ll have a record of all your sightings to compare with other birding lovers.
3. Try birding in different places. If you only look in the same place each time, it will not take long before you will want to find new and different birds.
4. Try looking for one or two new birds to record any time you travel to a new area.
5. Join a bird watching club or take other birders with you to new sighting areas. You’re likely to learn a lot from others and have lots of fun.
If you enjoy bird watching, you’re certainly not alone. It’s a good way to get some exercise and enjoy the outdoors. It’s also an activity that birders sometimes help develop scientific knowledge just by practicing their hobby and taking part in the birding boom. Who knows? Some day, an ornithologist (someone who studies birds) might even thank you for your own birding observations!
( )57. What’s the meaning of “enthusiasts” in Paragraph 1?
A. Fans. B. Farmers. C. Feeders. D. Guides.
( )58. What can the readers infer from the passage?
A. Bird watching needs a lot of expensive machines.
B. Finding a place to observe birds can be very difficult.
C. There are more bird watchers in the USA than any other country.
D. Finding people who are interested in birding is quite easy.
( )59. The writer wrote this passage most likely to _____.
A. interest readers with bird stories
B. tell readers something about bird watching
C. describe various bird living places for readers
D. encourage readers to become bird scientists
( )60. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Backyard Birders. B. Birding Club Basics.
C. The Birding Boom. D. Endangered Birds.
七、阅读短文,根据短文内容,从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。(共8分,每小题2分)
When I was small, I was kind of shy. Fortunately, I changed a lot by junior high. Shyness gets in the way of success, but it doesn't have to hold you back. Here are some tips that may help you overcome it.
61 The excitement of being lost at something that you love can help you forget your
13
nervousness while showing off in public.
Next, why not get more chances to speak in public? For me, when I got to high school, I took speech classes. 62
Then, don’t think about what will happen. It’s possible that you might be laughed at when speaking. 63 What really happens is better than what we imagine.
Finally, remember past successes. Whether it is making a successful speech, remembering past successes can help inspire you to get future success. 64 If you succeeded in the past, then you can succeed again!
It's actually natural to be a little bit nervous about meeting new people, making cold calls, or giving a speech. That nervousness doesn't have to keep you from succeeding, though.
A. First of all, you’d better concentrate on what you enjoy.
B. These successes are “proof ” that you can do it.
C. I still feel a little uncomfortable when I realize.
D. However, others may not even notice your mistake.
E. I could even take part in speaking competitions.
61. ________ 62. _________ 63. ___________ 64. ___________
八、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题。(共10分,每小题2分)
Frank W. Woolworth was born in Rodman, New York, in 1852. His family was very poor, and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be a farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.
Frank realized he had a natural skill for displaying goods to arouse people’s interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends(小商品)for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said: FIVE CENTS EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.
Soon afterwards, Frank opened his own store, selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly from the factories. Once, for example, Frank went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.
By 1919, Frank had over 1,000 stores in the USA and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always worked hard and ran his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: "THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT."

One possible version:
Smoking is a serious problem among teenagers in China. It is reported that 35% students from 12 to 15 smoke. Some are just curious about it when they see others smoking. Unfortunately, others fall into the habit. And it is difficult to give up.
I think it is not right for the students to smoke. Smoking is bad for people’s health. Many smokers died of lung cancer. It also harms people’s mental development, especially for teenagers. Smoking pollutes the air around
13
us, and it can even cause fire. Every year, some people die from the fire caused by smoking and at the same time many buildings are destroyed by the fire.
I hope those students who smoke should give up smoking as soon as possible, it is not only good for yourself but also for your family and people around you. You should put your heart into studies, and play ball games with your friends to make yourself a happy and healthy teenager.

People know the dangers of fires. It is good for a family to learn how to prepare for fire. Here are some suggestions.
Put a smoke alarm in the house. Smoke from a fire causes the alarm to go off. The alarm makes a loud sound. The sound tells everyone to leave the house at once.
