            • 1. Forty years ago,I was an instructor in the military (军事) school,when young Scoresby was given his first examination.I felt extremely sorry for him.Everybody answered the questions intelligently,while he didn’t know anything.He was a nice,pleasant young man.It was painful to see him stand there giving stupid answers.
              I knew when examined again he would be thrown out.So I tested him and worked him like a slave.I made him work over and over again on a few questions which I knew he would be asked.He came through very well on the day of the examination.By some strange,lucky accident,he was asked no questions except those I made him study.
              I thought the end that would destroy him would be the mathematics examination.I decided to make his end as painless as possible.So,I pushed facts into his stupid head for hours.Finally,I let him go to the examination to experience what I was sure would be his dismissal (开除) from school.But the result shocked me out of my mind.He took first prize!And he got the highest praise.I felt guilty--what I was doing was not right.But I only wanted to make his dismissal less painful for him.I never dreamed it would lead to such strange,laughable results.
              Then,the war broke out.I felt sad for him that there had to be a war.Peace would have given this donkey a chance to escape from being found out so stupid.I waited for the worst to happen.It did.He was appointed a captain!
              I thought I was responsible to the country for this.I must go with him and protect the nation against him.So,I joined up with him.And away we went to the field.
              And there--oh,it was terrible.Mistakes,fearful mistakes--he never did anything right--nothing but mistakes.But nobody knew how stupid he really was.And what kept me in a continual fear was that every mistake he made increased his glory and fame.
              He continued to climb up,over the dead bodies of his superiors (上级).Then,in the hottest moment of one battle down went our colonel (上校).My heart jumped into my mouth,for Scoresby took his place.The battle grew hotter.The English troops were falling back all over the field.Our regiment (团) occupied an extremely important position.One mistake now would bring total disaster.What did Scoresby do?He just mistook his left hand for his right hand.An order came for him to fall back and support our right.Instead,he moved forward and went over the hill to the left.We were over the hill before this mad movement could be discovered and stopped.And what did we find?A large Russian army waiting!And what happened?Were we all killed?That is exactly what would have happened in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred.But no--those surprised Russians thought we must be the whole British army,instead of only one regiment.They turned and escaped.Away they went over the hill and down into the field in wild disorder.We ran after them.In no time,there was the greatest turn-around ever seen.The British turned defeat into a sweeping and shining victory.
              The commander looked on,with wonder,surprise and joy.He sent for Scoresby,and hugged him on the field in front of all the armies.Scoresby became famous that day as a great military leader,honored throughout the world.That honor will never disappear while history books last.
              Look at his chest,flooded with medals.Each is the record of some great stupidity or other.

            • 2. It’s such a happy-looking library,painted yellow,decorated with palm-tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof.About the size of a microwave oven,it’s pedestrian-friendly,too,waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach country Estates,along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.
                     It’s a library built with love.
                     A year ago,shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization,a Wisconsin-based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available,she announced to her family of four,“That’s what we’re going to do for our spring break!”
                     Son Austin,now a 10th-grader,didn’t see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox.But Janey insisted,and husband Peter unwillingly got to work.The 51-year-old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he’d built years earlier for daughter Abbie’s toy horses,and made a door of glass.
                     After adding the library’s final touches (装点),the family hung a signboard on the front,instructing users to“take a book,return a book,”and making the Henriksen library,now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world,the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.
                     They stocked it with 20 or so books they’d already read,a mix of science fiction,reference titles,novels and kids’favorites.“I told them,keep in mind that you might not see it again,”said Janey,a stay-at-home mom.
                     Since then,the collection keeps replenishing (补充) itself,thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers.The library now gets an average of five visits a day.
                     The project’s best payoff,says Peter,are the thank-you notes left behind.“We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.”(317 words)
              66.In what way is the library“pedestrian-friendly”?    
                 A.It owns a yellow roof.B.It stands near a sidewalk.
                 C.It protects book lovers from the sun.D.It uses palm-tree stickers as decorations.
              67.Janey got the idea to build a library from    
              A.a visit to Brian Williams                                
              B.a spring break with her family
              C.a book sent by one of her neighbors                
              D.a report on a Wisconsin-based organization
              68.The library was built    
              A.by a ship supply company                              
              B.on the basis of toy horses
              C.like a mailbox                                              
              D.with glass
              69.What can we infer about the signboard?    
              A.It was made by a user of the library.
              B.It marked a final touch to the library.
              C.It aimed at making the library last long.
              D.It indicated the library was a family property.
              70.The passage tells us that the users    
              A.donate books to the library                            
              B.get paid to collect books for the library
              C.receive thank-you notes for using the library  
              D.visit the library over 5 times on average daily.
            • 3. Shay asked,“Do you think they’ll let me play?”Shay’s father knew that most of the boys would not want someone like Shay on their team,but the father also understood that if his son,mentally and physically disabled,were allowed to play,it would give him a much-needed sense of belonging and some confidence.
              Shay’s father approached one of the boys on the field and asked if Shay could play,not expecting much.The boy looked around and said,“We’re losing by six runs (分) and the game is in the eighth inning (局).I guess he can be on our team and we’ll try to put him in to bat in the final inning.
              Shay struggled over to the team’s bench and put on a team shirt with a broad smile and his father had a small tear in his eye and warmth in heart.The boys saw the father’s joy at his son being accepted.
              In the bottom of the eighth inning,Shay’s team scored a few runs but was still behind by three.In the top of the final inning,Shay put on a glove and played in the field.Even though no hits came his way,he was obviously joyful just to be in the game and on the field.In the bottom of the final inning,Shay’s team scored again.Now,Shay was scheduled to be next at bat.Would they let Shay bat and give away their chance to win the game?
              Surprisingly,Shay was given the bat.Everyone knew that a hit was almost impossible.The first pitch (投) came and Shay missed.The pitcher again again took a few steps forward to throw the ball softly towards Shay.As the pitch came in,Shay swung at the ball and hit a slow ground ball right back to the pitcher.
              The pitcher could have easily thrown he ball to the first baseman and Shay would have been out and that would have been the end of the game.Instead,the pitcher threw the ball right over the head of  the first baseman,beyond the reach of all teammates,The audience and the players from both teams started screaming,“Shay,run to first!”Never in his life had Shay ever run that far but made it to first base,wide-eyed and shocked..
              Everyone  should,“Run  to  second!”Catching his breath,Shay awkwardly ran towards second.By the time Shay rounded towards second base,the smallest guy on their team,who had a chance to be the hero for his team fir the first time,could have thrown the ball to the second baseman,but he understood the pitcher’s intentions and he too  intentionally threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head.
              All were screaming,“Shay,Shay,Shay,all the way Shay.”Shay reached third base when one opposing player ran to help him and shouted,“Shay,run to third.”As Shay rounded third,all were on their feet,crying,“Shay,run home!”Shay ran to home,stepped on the home base and was cheered as the hero who the who won the game for his team.
              That day,the boys from both teams helped bring a piece true love and humanity into this world.Shay didn’t make it to another summer and died that winter,having never forgotten being the hero and making his father so happy and coming home and seeing his mother tearfully hug her little hero of the day!

              66.Not expecting much,Shay’s father still asked the boy if Shay could play,mainly because the father    
              A.noticed some of the boys on the field were heisting
              B.guessed his presence would affect the boy’s decision
              C.learned some of the boys on the field knew Shay well
              D.understood Shay did need a feeling of being accepted
              67.In the bottom of the final inning Shay was given the bat because the boys    
              A.believed they were sure to win the game
              B.would like to help Shay enjoy the game
              C.found Shay was so eager to be a winner
              D.fell forced to give Shay another chance
              68.The smallest boy threw the ball high and far over the third baseman’s head,probably because that boy    
              A.was obviously aware of the pitcher’s purpose
              B.looked forward to winning the game for his team
              C.failed to throw the ball to the second baseman
              D.saw that Shay already reached second base
              69.Which of the following has nothing to do with Shay’s becoming the hero for his team?    
              A.The pitcher did not throw the ball to the first baseman.
              B.The audience and the players from both teams cheered for him.
              C.The opposing players failed to stop his running to home.
              D.One of the opposing players ran to help him.
              70.What to you think is the theme of the story?    
              A.True human nature could be realized in the way we treat each other.
              B.Everyone has his own strength even if mentally or physically disabled.
              C.Everyone can develop his team spirit in sports and please his parents.
              D.The results of the game should not be the only concern of the players.
