As a young kid I dreamt about going to the Olympics．I Was quick and had good balance…That all 36 when I was 13．I Was diagnosed with a brain tumor（肿瘤）！At first I Was told nothing about it because of the 37 of my surgery，which probably saved my life because my 38 would remain high． 39 I was lucky that the tumor was benign(良性的)，it had grown to be so big that I would have 30％ 40 of living!

Then a man called Vincent Roussel 47 his time to helping me with my subjects．He felt so 48 seeing me in that wheel chair that he decided to give me reeducation two hours a day! He helped me a lot and finally I 49 to return to school!

Though occasionally some kids 50 me，many people helped me and thanks to my hard work and God’S blessings I managed to overcome many 51 in my life．I walked 6 months after the operation，became a member of the college swimming team， 52 a Bachelor’S degree，a Master’S degree and 53 a book．

第三部分阅读理解(共20小题：每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

There are about 15，000—20，000 species of butterflies all over the world．They can be found on every continent except Antarctica．

To go to sleep，butterflies look for a safe place like the underside of a leaf or a branch，for example．Most butterflies sleep alone，but there are also species sleeping in groups．Poisonous butterflies have a particular smell that probably protects them better when they sleep together．It is also useful not to change the group’S sleeping place because a predator(食肉动物)who attacked a poisonous butterfly one time won’t do this again．There is only a limited number of predators in an area so there is only a limited number to”educate”if the sleeping place stays the same．One species from Costa Rica whose scientific name is Marpesia berania sleeps in groups on a leaf．If one butterfly of the group is disturbed，it opens its wings and touches its neighbors．Being touched，they open their wings as well and so the whole group is informed about the danger and Can escape together．

The speed of their flight depends on the way the butterfly flies：Blues and Whites normally have speeds under 8 km／h，the speed of Fritillaries is between 16 to 40

km／h and some Skippers reach speeds up to 60 km／h．

Besides warning and scaring predators with colors butterflies fly in a special way．The direction of their amazing flight is hard to predict．When they hear the sounds of a bat，the ones flying at night start a zigzag(之字形)flight in all directions：up and down，left and right．So it gets hard for the bat to catch them．In the dark when colors don’t function，some poisonous butterflies make clicking noises to warn bats that they are poisonous．Of course other species copy this sound to produce the protective effect，too．

56．The reason why butterflies don’t change the group’S sleeping place is that__________．

A．a predator would attack them again in the same place

B．few other predators would attack them in this fixed area

C．the predators would know they are poisonous

D．there are more predators in other places

57．The author takes Marpesia berania for example in order to_____________．A．introduce where butterflies sleep at night

B．tell us how butterflies work together to defeat predators

C．introduce how butterflies sleeping in groups escape from danger

D．tell us that Marpesia berania is the most clever butterflies

58．What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us?

A．The different flight speeds of the butterfly．

B．Which butterfly flies at the highest speed．

C．Most butterflies fly at a low speed．

D．The different way the butterfly flies．

59．It’S hard for bats to catch butterflies because butterflies fly__________．A．much faster than bats B．aimlessly

C．at different speeds D．in a zigzag way

60．Some poisonous butterflies warn predators in the dark by_____________．A．scaring predators with colors

B．touching their neighbors with their wings

C．making clicking noises

D．copying bats’sound to confuse predators

B

The towers，called the Bosco Verticale，are

under construction in Milan．Towering over the city

skyline，these are the world’S first forest in the

sky apartments．

With trees equal to 10，000 square meters of

forest covering 27 floors，the twin towers will be

home to an astonishing 730 trees，5，000 bushes and

11，000 ground plants．

Michele Brunello，director of Boeri Studios，explained，“The idea of a vertical forest came when we were involved in a local tree

planting project．We imagined the building that allowed the landscape(景观)to enter it．”

Brunello’S concept is designed to save on land，which is a precious resource in the centre of a major city．“We can provide the quality of life of expensive housing without consuming the resources that conventional housing would demand．”he said．Bosco Verticale has been designed as a home to a variety of plants，which planners hope will act as a filter(过滤器)to pollution from traffic，shade people from the sun and will change its appearance each season．

“People live with the trees but they don’t own them—they are communal，”said Brunello．“All the plants have been picked by the designers to be suitable to the height and correct side of the building．So the people aren’t just choosing an apartment based on the size and view, but also they need to consider which trees and plants they will be living with．”

Safety is also a major factor．If a tree Was blown down in the wind from a great height，this could be a huge problem．So we tested various trees to make sure we had the right ones．

When the sky forest is completed by the end of 2012，the structure will house the same amount of people as 50，000 square meters of conventional urban area．What’S more，it will be home to insects，birds and animals that usually live in the parks of Milan．

61．By saying“allowed the landscape to enter it”Brunello means that___________．A．trees will be planted inside the building

B．the towers are part of the tree planting project

C．the landscape of trees and plants is part of the towers

D．the landscape of trees can be moved into the building freely

62．What does the underlined word“communal”probably mean?

A．Expensive． B．Public． C．Dangerous．D．Unaffordable．

63．Which of the following may not be considered when buying an apartment in Bosco Verticale?

A．The size of the apartment．

B．The view of the apartment．

C．The different trees on the towers．

D．The amount of birds living with the trees．

64．Which isn’t the benefit that the Bosco Verticale can bring to Milan?

A．Cleaning the polluted air by traffic．

B．Lowering the conventional houses’price．

C．Changing its appearance with seasons．

D．Shading people from the sun．

65．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

A．Brunello creates a special park B．Bosco Verticale consumes less land C．Italy will plant a variety oftrees D．Milan constructs towers of trees

C

John Wesley Powell(1834—1902)Was a famous explorer of the American West．When he Was young，his mother put him under the guidance of George Crookham，a self-taught scientist，from whom he received a wide，but informal，education．Young John learned many things about the natural sciences．But his father preferred him to study religion．The argument continued for three years．Then John decided to leave home to seek further education．He soon discovered that he knew more about science than any teacher he met．He realized that the only good scientific education in the country came from colleges in the east，like Harvard and Yale．But he Was too poor to go to them，SO he got work as a school teacher in Illinois．Whenever possible，he went on scientific trips of his own．

In 1861，civil war broke out in the United States．John joined the Union forces of the North．At the battle of Shiloh Powell lost his right arm．Despite his disability, he began his famous exploration of the Colorado River on May 24 1869．It Was one of the greatest trips of discovery in the history of America．Never before had any white men traveled to that area．The trip Was far more dangerous than expected．The rivers were filled with rocky areas and waterfalls．Sometimes，the boats overturned or broke into pieces against big rocks．All along the way, Powell measured distances，temperatures，heights，depths and currents．He examined soils，rocks and plant life．Powell’S explorations led to the creation of US Geological Survey, which became responsible for all mapping and scientific programs of American lands．Powell’s scientific studies of western lands shaped his ideas of how those lands should be used．He suggested programs to control both crop farming and cattle raising．He Was especially concerned about water supplies．Many of his ideas were rejected at first and were not signed into law until years after his death because they were far ahead of his time．

What do you buy for someone who doesn’t actually need

anything? “Nothing”is the most sensible answer! Or perhaps

something unusual．The British magazine The Week has

suggestions for unusual presents．Here are a few ideas．

Do you want to get fit but find jogging boring? Then you

need the Run Personal treadmill(跑步机)from

Technogym．Designed by Italian Architect Antonio Citterio，

the Run Personal is wonderful and stylish．But the best thing

about it is the 19-inch TV screen and iPod，which allow you

to watch TV, listen to music or even play games while you

train．Price：￡7，508．

And after you’ve finished running,why not relax in a hot

bath? Oh．but now you can’t see the TV! Don’t worry, for ￡ 999

Aquavision will provide you with a completely waterproof LCD

television which becomes a luxurious(奢侈的)bathroom mirror

when you’re not using it．Perfect!

If you have a large private swimming pool，then you are

sure to need the water toy—The Iceberg Water Climber．It’S 4 meters tall and made from industrial-strength PVC．One side is a giant slide，while the other three sides are climbing walls of varying degrees of difficulty．Lots of fun for all the family．Price：￡2．235．

Everyone’S got a bike，but how many people have got a

tandem (连座车)?The French fashion label Comptoir des

Cotonniers has designed tandem which they describe as

“perfect for a mother and daughter shopping trip”．Healthier

than taking the bus and easier to park．And at ￡1,284 a lot

cheaper too．

Rabbits need a good home too．You Can keep your rabbits safe

and warm in a Ryedale hutch，a rather beautifully hand—made

rabbit house．It provides comfortable sleeping space for rabbits

who prefer to live in the garden but sleep in comfort．A luxurious

double costs from ￡139-226．

71．Which of the following about the Run Personal treadmill is wrong?

A．It is designed by Antonio Citterio and from Technogym．

B．It allows US to watch TV, listen to music and play games．

C．It is not a good present for those who prefer outdoor jogging．

D．It Can keep you more fit than traditional treadmills．

A．A treadmill and a tandem． B．A water climber and a Ryedale hutch．

C．A Ryedale hutch and a waterproof LCD．D．A water climber and a tandem．73．What does the underlined word“it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

［1］It is never too late to add some new and better practices into your daily life．Here are some wise lessons that I wish I knew when I was younger：

[2]________________.Enjoy every moment of today，because you are not guaranteed

a tomorrow．Don’t pul off your dreams．Don’t wait to do．If it’s important to you，then do it today．Pay attention to what is happening now，to the people around you，to the task at hand and to all of the choices you make today．

[3] It’s called work for a reason．Success at anything takes work．When you hear about an overnight Success story，don’t forget about all of the work that came before．You may have to do work you do not enjoy before you get to success．Keep going．

[4]Don’t burn your bridges．You never know when a former boss，colleague，business partner or acquaintance may come in handy．Try to part on good terms，stay on good terms and never gossip(说长道短)about former connections．A wide pool of friends，coworkers and connections of all kinds will provide a wealthy resource of ideas and

support as you go forward in life．

[5] It’s not a race．You have so much to do and it feels as though you have to be in a hurry to 2et there．But in fact，you do not have to do it all at once．1fyou try to do it all at once you will，at best not have time to enjoy it and at worst burn out and damage your health and relationships. Slow down and take one thing at

a time，one day at a time．

[6]Look for the good in everything．Stay positive．Look for the good in people. Celebrate the happy moments．Give helpful encouragement rather than negative criticism．If you view the World around you and life’S challenges through goodness，then you will find life much more enjoyable．

76．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words．(no more than 5 words) 77．What，s the author’S attitude toward success?(no more than 15 words) 78．List three kinds of helpful bridges while you go forward in life．(no more than 6 words)
