            • 1． I’m a 34-year-old man，married，lived in a nice house，and have a successful career as an educational consultant．But my life was not always so great．I had a learning disability from an early age．I went to a special school where I got plenty of extra help．Still，I suffered the rest of my school days in public schools．
              My life improved remarkably when I discovered art．The art world gave me a chance to express myself without words．I went to a workshop and gradually got good at making things with clay（黏土）．Here I learned my first important lesson：disabled as I was in language．I could still be smart and well express myself with clay．And my confidence came along．
              I got my next lesson from rock climbing．It was a fun thing but I was scared from the start．I soon noticed it wasn’t a talent thing； it was practice．So I did it more．After about five years of climbing，I found myself in Yosemite Valley on a big wall．I learned that if you fall in love with something and do it all the time，you will get better at it．
              Later I decided to apply my previous experience to learning how to read and write．Every day I practiced reading and writing，which I used to avoid as much as possible．After two hard years，I was literate．
              Having gone through the long process with art，rock climbing，and reading and writing，now I’ve got to a point in my life where I know I am smart enough to dive into an area that is totally unknown，hard，but interesting．

            • 2． For professional athletes，it's all about training，speed，strength，and endurance．It's no different for the homing pigeon （传信鸽）-the flying athletes，but they're not going for the gold with every race．They just want to go home．
              When you walk into Mike Beavers'pigeon loft （鸽棚） you'll hear the happy coo （咕咕叫） from his flock of homing pigeons．Beavers raises and races these birds near Kingsley，Iowa，USA．
              “Most people don't believe me，”says Beavers．“They ask，‘How do you do that？'Then once you start explaining it，it really kind of catches their interest and they say，‘Wow，that's pretty awesome．'”
              His love for the birds took off when he was a kid and he's spent the past 30years building his team of racing pigeons．It's a family hobby．“I got out of it for a few years and after I got married，my daughter came along and it was something that she and I could do together because I don't shop，”says Beavers．
              Beavers has about 150birds，but these aren't ordinary pigeons．They're born to race，conditioned to travel long distances，and they have the instinct （本能） to always return home no matter where they are．
              “They come back because this is home，”says Beavers．“This is where they were born and raised and it's just their instinct to go home．Nobody even really knows the reason．It's one of nature's secrets and nobody has found it yet．”
              These pigeons are kind of like a flying GPS．That's what makes them so special．If you take a wild pigeon you find under a bridge and take it out 100miles away，it is just going to find the closest bridge and that's going to be its new home．It is the instinct that is bred into these birds over centuries and centuries．

              31．What do most people think of Beavers'raising homing pigeons after his explanation？    
              A．Boring but acceptable．
              B．Interesting and acceptable．

              D．shares this pigeon⁃raising hobby with his daughter

              B．They are equipped with GPS．

              A．they are well trained 
              B．they have the instinct

            • 3． He was once referred to as the Picasso of poetry．Beloved by Chileans of all classes，he is one of the most widely read and respected poets in history．And this year is the 100th birthday of Pablo Neruda（1904-1973）．
              Born with the name Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basolto，he was a tall，shy and lonely boy．He loved to read and started to write poetry when he was ten．The American poet Walt Whitman，whose framed picture Neruda later kept on his table became a major influence on his work．
              However，his father did not like the idea of having a poet for a son and tried to discourage him from writing．To cover up （掩饰） the publication of his first poem，he took the pen name Pablo Neruda．
              In 1924Neruda gained fame with his most widely read work“Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair．”Yet his rich experience as a diplomat and exile（流犯） made him go beyond the theme of love．His work also reflected the political struggle of the left and development of South America．He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1971．
              Neruda loved the sea which he saw as creative，destructive and forever moving．He found inspiration in the power and freedom of the waves and the seabirds on the coast．“I need the sea because it teaches me，”he wrote．“I move in the university of the waves．”He loved how the sea forever renewed itself，a renewal echoed in his work．

              21．The underlined word“Picasso”can probably be replaced by“    ”．
              A．most important person

              C．freedom fighter in Picasso        
              D．poem fans
              22．Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basolto took the pen name Pablo Neruda because    ．
              A．literary greats usually used the pen name
              B．his father encouraged him to use the name
              C．he wanted to prevent his father knowing the publication
              D．he was greatly influenced by other poets

              A．the sea gave Neruda vast writing inspiration
              B．the beautiful scenery along the Chile coast
              C．Neruda's poems were widely read overseas

            • 4． The high school grades of Tom Monaghan，who was born in 1937，were so low that he graduated at the bottom of his class．The local university turned down his application，but he managed to enter the University of Michigan．A few weeks later，he dropped out because he lacked money for school fees．In 1960，Monaghan agreed to buy a pizza store with his brother，who gave up a year later．
              For the first year，Monaghan worked all the time but hardly made any money．He soon found himself deep in debt．He began making the business simpler，selling only three sizes of pizza，instead of five．This change helped Monaghan make a profit，which allowed him to expand his three stores under a new name，Domino’s．
              However，during the following years Monaghan experienced a series of setbacks．In 1967，a fire destroyed his store in Ypsilanti，Michigan，which served as the company’s offices．Most of the damage was not covered by insurance．In an effort to recover his losses，Monaghan continued to expand his franchise，but was unable to keep up with the growth．Without Monaghan’s guidance，many of the new stores closed down．By 1970，Monaghan was 1.5 million in debt and facing law suits from nearly 150 debtors．In the following financial settlement，Monaghan lost 51 percen of his company to the bank．But Monaghan concentrated on building the 49 percent of the business he still owned．Slowly，he began to work his way out of his financial difficulties．He defended himself in court since he could not afford a lawyer．He sold his furniture and his car．In about a year，he managed to pay off all his debts．These hard times taught him avaluable lesson in how to run a business．By 1978，two hundred Domino’s stores had opened．Five years later，the number of stores was over a thousand；by 1989，the chain had more than five thousand stores．The company had more than six thousand pizza delivery stores when Monaghan sold it for 1 billion in 1998．

            • 5． Lee Kuan Yew emerged onto the international stage as the founding father of the state of Singapore，then a city of about 1million．He developed into a world statesman who acted as a kind of conscience to leaders around the globe．
              Fate initially seemed not to have provided him with a stage on which to achieve more than modest local success．In the first phase of decolonization，Singapore emerged as a part of Malaya．It was cut loose because of tensions between Singapore’s largely Chinese population and the Malay majority and，above all，to teach the city a lesson of dependency，Malaya undoubtedly expected that reality would cure Singapore of its independent spirit．
              But great men become such through visions beyond material calculations．Lee challenged conventional wisdom by opting for statehood．The choice reflected a deep faith in the virtues of his people．He asserted that a city located on a sandbar with no economic resource to draw upon，and whose major industry as a colonial naval base had disappeared，could nevertheless thrive and achieve international reputation by building on its principal asset（财富）：the intelligence，industry and dedication of its people．
              A great leader takes his or her society from where it is to where it has never been----indeed，where it as yet cannot imagine being．By insisting on quality education，by suppressing corruption and by basing governance on merit．Lee and his colleagues raised the annual per capita income of their population from 500atthetimeofindependencein1965toroughly55，000today．In a generation，Singapore became an international financial center．，the leading intellectual metropolis of Southeast Asia，the location of the region’s major hospitals and a favored site for conferences on international affairs．It did so by adhering to an extraordinary pragmatism：by opening careers to the best talents and encouraging them to adopt the best practices from all over the world．．
              Superior performance was one component of that achievement．Superior leadership was even more important．As the decades went by，it was moving----and inspirational----to see Lee．，the mayor of a medium-size city，become a mentor of global strategic order．
              The great tragedy of Lee’s life was that his beloved wife was felled by a stroke that left her a prisoner in her body，unable to communicate or receive communication．Through all that time，Lee sat by her bedside in the evening reading to her．He had faith that she understood despite the evidence to the contrary．
              Perhaps this was Lee Kuan Yew’s role in his era．He had the same hope for our world．He fought for its better instincts even when the evidence was ambiguous．But many of us heard him and will never forget him．

              58．Why did Lee Kuan Yew choose to lead Singapore to be independent？    
              A．He intended to act as a kind of conscience to leaders around the globe．
              B．He determined his people shouldn’t be subjected to Malaya anymore．
              C．He had considerable confidence in the value of the city’s assets．
              D．He wanted Singapore to be the most powerful country worldwide．
              59．From the underlined sentence in Paragraph2，we can know that    ．
              A．Malaya expected Singapore to be powerful
              B．Malaya had a desire to kick off Singapore
              C．Malaya firmly believed Singapore would give in
              D．Malaya didn’t think Singapore possessed independent spirit

            • 6． It’s hard to find Alice Munro in the media．Even after she won the 2013Nobel Prize in Literature，the Canadian writer just appeared for a quick interview and then dropped out of sight．On Dec 29，she still didn't seek the spotlight（聚光灯）when she was named one of the five Women of the Year by the Financial Times．
              In Munro's eyes，ordinary lives always hide larger dramas．So she records what we casually think of as the everyday actions of normal people．She often focuses on life in her hometown，a small village in Ontario which she is most familiar with．She writes about the ordinary things in the village-fox forming，trees filled in the Ontario wilderness，poor country alcohol and long last illnesses．Above all，she talks about girls and women who have seemingly ordinary lives but struggle against daily misfortune．
              She has a special talent for uncovering the extraordinary in the ordinary．These are ordinary people，ordinary stories，but she has the magic．Her precise language，depth of detail and the logic of her storytelling have made her stories inviting．
              Runaway，one of Munro’s representative works，is a good example of her writing style．One of the stories centers on the life of an ordinary woman Carla，who lives in a small Canadian town with her husband Clark．The story slowly forms a picture of Carla，trapped in a bad marriage，her unhappiness building into desperation until she decided to flee．The story of Carla is a story of the power and betrayals of love．It is about lost children and lots of chances that we can all find in life，There is pain beneath the surface，like a needle in the heart．
              Since she published her first collection of short stories in 1968，Munro has won many awards，with the Nobel Prize being her biggest honor．On Oct 10，2013，the Nobel Prize committee named Munro the“master of the contemporary short story”．

            • 7． When 19-year-old Sophia Giorgi said she was thinking of volunteering to help the Make-A-Wish Foundation（基金会），nobody understood what she was talking about．But Sophia knew just how important Make-A-Wish could be because this special organization had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends．We were interested in finding out more，so we went along to meet Sophia and listen to what she had to say．
              Sophia told us that Make-A-Wish is a worldwide organization that started in the United States in 1980．“It’s a charity（慈善机构） that helps children who have got very serious illnesses．Make-A-Wish helps children feel happy even though they are sick，by making their wishes and dreams come true，”Sophia explained．
              We asked Sophia how Make-A-wish had first started．She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris，who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman．Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris’s dream come true-so，with everybody’s help，Chris，only seven years old at the time，had been a“policeman”for a day．“When people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true，they decided to try and help other sick children too，and that was the beginning of Make-A-Wish，”explained Sophia．
              Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special，happy time．A Make-A-Wish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world．Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true．They do this either by providing things that are necessary，or by raising money or helping out in whatever way they can．

              31．Sophia found out about Make-A-Wish because her best friend had    ．

              B．was understood by nobody at first
              C．raises money for very poor families

            • 8． I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a freight yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head．Now I am thirty-two．I can slightly remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is．It would be wonderful to see again，but a calamity（灾难）can do strange things to people．It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn’t been blind．I believe in life now．I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply，otherwise．I don’t mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes．I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left．
              Life，I believe，asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality．The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments，the more meaningful his own private world becomes．The adjustment is never easy．I was totally confused and afraid．But I was lucky．My parents and my teachers saw something in me-a potential to live，you might call it-which I didn’t see，and they made me want to fight it out with blindness．
              The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself．That was basic．If I hadn’t been able to do that，I would have collapsed and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life．When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone．That is part of it．But I mean something bigger than that：an assurance that I am，despite imperfections，a real，positive person； that somewhere in the sweeping，intricate（错综复杂的） pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit．
              It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance．It had to start with the simplest things．Once a man gave me an indoor baseball．I thought he was making fun of me and I was hurt．“I can’t use this．”I said．“Take it with you，”he urged me，“and roll it around．”The words stuck in my head．“Roll it around!”By rolling the ball I could hear where it went．This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible：playing baseball．At Philadelphia’s Overbrook School for the blind I invented a successful variation of baseball．We called it ground ball．
              All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them，one at a time．I had to learn my limitations．It was no good trying for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure．I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress．
              41．What can we learn from the first paragraph？    
              A．The author lost his sight because of a car crash．
              B．The author wouldn’t love life if the disaster hadn’t happened．
              C．The disaster made the author appreciate what he had．
              D．The disaster strengthened the author’s desire to see．
              42．What’s the author’s biggest difficulty？    
              A．How to adjust himself to reality．
              B．Building up assurance that he can fit in life．
              C．Learning to manage his life alone．
              D．How to invent a successful variation of baseball．
              43．The underlined words“a chair rocker on the front porch”in Paragraph 3 means that the author    ．
              A．would sit in a rocking chair and enjoy his life
              B．would be unable to move and stay in a rocking chair
              C．would lose his will to struggle against difficulties
              D．would sit in a chair and stay at home
              44．As can be seen from the passage，the baseball and encouragement offered by the man    ．
              A．hurt the author’s feeling
              B．gave the author a deep impression
              C．directly led to the invention of ground ball
              D．inspired the author
              45．Which can be the best title for the passage？    
              A．A Miserable Life                
              B．Struggle Against Difficulties
              C．A Disaster Makes a Strong Person
              D．An Unforgettable Experience．
