阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
After the Summer Olympics are over, when all the athletes and viewers have gone home and the television audience has switched off, another group of athletes and fans will arrive at the host city, and another competition will begin. These are the Paralympics, the games for athletes with a disability. But in Beijing in 2008, for the first time, one of the greatest paralympians will not be taking part.
She is a British athlete by the name of Tanni Grey-Thompson. Born with spinal bifida （脊椎裂） which left her paralysed（瘫痪的） from the waist down, Tanni used a wheelchair from the age of 7. At first, she was not keen on sport, apart from horse-riding, which gave her a sense of freedom. But in her teens, she started taking sports more seriously. She tried swimming, basketball and tennis. Eventually she found athletics, and never looked back.
Indeed, Tanni's athletic career took off. In 1984, when she was 15, she pulled off a surprise victory in the 100 meters at the Junior National Wheelchair Games.
In 1988, Tanni went to her first Paralympic Games in Seoul. She won bronze in the 400 meters. Even greater success followed at the 1992 Barcelona Paralympics. Tanni won gold in the 100, 200, 400 and 800 meters relay, setting two world records in the process. In the same year she achieved the first of her six London Wheelchair Marathon victories.
Tanni's enduring success has been part motivation(动机), part preparation. “The training I do that enables me to be a good sprinter （短跑运动员） enables me to be good at a marathon too. I train 50 weeks of the year and that keeps me prepared for whatever distance I want to race... I am still competing at a very high level, but as I get older, things get harder and I want to retire before I fall apart."
Indeed Tanni retired finally after the Visa Paralympic World Cup in 2007. Her wish is to coach young athletes for Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
In spite of ups and downs, she never takes her fate lying down. In her splendid life, she has won amazing eleven gold medals, four silvers and one bronze in a series of Paralympics— a top level athletic career covering two decades. She has won the London Wheelchair Marathon six times, more than any other competitor, and she has set over thirty world records.
What advice does she have for young athletes? "Work hard at your studies, and then train, train and train again."
41. Which of the following sports did Tanni like before thirteen?
A. Basketball.
B. Swimming.
C. Tennis.
D. Horse-riding.
42 When did Tanni win her first Olympic gold medal?
A. In 1984.
B. In 1988.
C. In 1992.
D. In 2007.
43 The underlined word "that" in the 5th paragraph refers to____.
A. fifteen weeks' training
B. being a good sprinter
C. training almost every day
D. part motivation and part preparation
44 What's the right order of the events related to Tanni?
a. She works as a coach.
b. She took up athletics.
c. She won four gold medals in Barcelona.
d. She competed in her first Paralympic Games.
e. She achieved a victory in her first London Wheelchair Marathon.
A. b, d, c, e, a
B. a, d, b, c, e
C. a, d, c, e, b
D. b, d, a, e, c
45. What can we learn from Tanni's success?
A. Union is strength.
B. Never too late to learn.
C. Well begun is half done.
D. No pains, no gains.

C
As a frequent traveler, my goal for each trip is to travel light. Despite(尽管) thoughtful planning, I can’t always get my packing right, ending up taking more than I need. Work is like that, too. We often bring too much baggage. It may not look like baggage, but it weighs us down just the same.
I’ve found, after twenty years of management, most people bring suitcases full of self-doubt(缺乏自信的), old problems from old relationships and self-fulfilling(相信一定会发生的) forecasts to work every day, and it stifles(抑制) them. Most people let past work experience decide their future ones.
They’re like the travelers in a story that I once heard. One day a young man stopped his car on the side of the road. An elderly woman paused from her gardening as he approached(靠近). “I’m thinking of moving to this town,” he told her, “and I was wondering if you could tell me what the people are like here.”“Well” she said, “what were the people like where you live before?”“Demanding and competitive, and not very helpful,” he said. “Well” she told him, “ I think you’ll find people the same way here.”
A little while later another man stopped and approached the woman. Again she was asked what the townspeople were like and again she asked the traveler what his experience had been where he lived before. “Oh, the people were great. Everyone was helpful and supportive--- a real community.”“You’ll find people the same way here,” she said.
People who are winning at work are like the second traveler. They know that they tend to get what they expect from work ( and life), and if they have emotional baggage and poor expectations, they will get poor results.
They also know how to travel light. They’ve learned what essentials to pack. They bring to work only those skills and experience that will positively impact(影响) their work and the future. They leave the rest of their baggage behind. Want to win at work? Travel light.
51. What will affect most people at work?
A. They can’t get their packing right.
B. They often bring too much baggage to travel.
C. They are burdened by past work experience.
D. They don’t believe in themselves.
52. What can we learn about the second traveler in the story?
A. He is commanding and indifferent to his townspeople.
B. He is good at getting along well with people and management.
C. He will win at work and make a lot of money.
D. He will bring helpful experience with him to do a better job.
53. What is the main difference between the two travelers in the story?
A. The first traveler is young and rich, and the second one is not.
B. The first traveler is polite, while the second one is impolite.
C. They hold different attitudes towards their townspeople.
D. They have different relationships with the woman.
54. What’s the function of the story in the passage?
A. To arouse the readers’ attention.
B. To make readers amused.
C. To show that the author knows a lot.
D. To express the author’s ideas more clearly
55. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Get Your Packing Right
B. Travel Light to Work
C. Working Is Like Traveling
D. Forget Your Past
D
Mathematical ability and musical ability may not seem on the surface to be connected, but people who have researched the subject and studied the brain say that they are. Three quarters of the bright but speech-delayed children in the group I studied had a close relative who was an engineer, mathematician or scientist, and four fifths had a close relative who played a musical instrument. The children themselves usually took readily to math and other analytical subjects and to music.
Black, white and Asian children in this group show the same patterns. However, it is clear that blacks have been greatly overrepresented（被过多的代表）in the development of American popular music and greatly underrepresented in such fields as mathematics, science and engineering.
If the abilities required in analytical fields and in music are so closely related, how can there be this great discrepancy? One reason is that the development of mathematical and other such abilities requires years of formal schooling, while certain musical talents can be developed with little or no formal training, as has happened with a number of well-known black musicians.
It is precisely in those kinds of music where one can acquire great skill without formal training that blacks have excelled(擅长) popular music rather than classical music, piano rather than violin, blues rather than opera. This is readily understandable, given that most blacks, for most of American history, have not had either the money or the leisure for long years of formal study in music.
Blacks have not merely held their own in American popular music. They have played a large role in the development of jazz, both traditional and modern. A long string of names comes to mind—W.C. Handy, Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker…and so on.
None of these presupposes(假设，意味着) any special innate（先天的）ability of blacks in music. On the contrary, it is perfectly consistent(一致的) with blacks having no more such inborn ability than anyone else, but being limited to being able to express such ability in narrower channels than others who have had the money, the time and the formal education to spread out over a wider range of music, as well as into mathematics, science and engineering.
56. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?
A.Mathematical ability and musical ability are connected.
B.Mathematical ability has more to do with the brain than musical ability.
C.More people are good at music than math.
D.More research should be done into the relationship between mathematical
ability and math ability.
57. The word “discrepancy” (Para. 3) most probably means ____.
A. difference
B. excellence
C. inborn ability
D. inability
58. What can be inferred about opera?
A.It requires formal training.
B.It is often enjoyed by those with strong analytical ability.
C.It is disliked by blacks.
D.It is more difficult to learn than classical music.
59. Which of the following statements is true according to the last paragraph?
A.Blacks have special innate ability in music.
B.Unlike others, blacks do not have innate ability in music.
C.Jazz is one of the narrow channels through which blacks express their ability
in music.
D.Those who have money and time choose mathematics over music.
60. Which of the following questions does the passage mainly concern?
A.Are musical ability and mathematical ability connected?
B.Why have blacks been greatly overrepresented in the development of American
popular music?
C.What kinds of music require formal training?
D.What are the contributions made by black musicians?
