AI’ll be a photographer. I’m going to bring bits of Australia back home with me. I told myself this before, but I feel so doubtful on this plane that’s flying me thousands of miles away. I don’t want to put down my bag. I was so confident yesterday. But today I feel like a child. I don’t belong on this plane where people sit with briefcases on their laps reading newspapers. They’re all adults.I’ve never been out of the USA. And now, all by myself, I’m traveling in to Australia, a world I know nothing about. A part of me recognizes it as home.My mom had an Australian accent and golden hair. She was fun and she wasn’t like my friends’ moms, who would take them to get their nails done or to the mall. Instead, my mom would take me to New Jersey beaches, where we would spend the whole day taking walks along the shore. My mom told me that in Australia, Christmas was always spent on the beach with friends and family, and everyone wore Santa hats with their bathing suits. It never got cold there; the sun was always bright and warm. My mom was different and I was so proud of her.I don’t know how she met my father, but they met somehow years ago and they got married and moved into an apartment in New Jersey, where my dad grew up. Then I was born and we were just a perfect family of three, who went out to dinner and watched movies in the dark and loved each other.I know things have been hard on my father since my mom died years ago. It’s hard for me,too, and I have to experience the wonderful place my mom grew up in and loved. My mom talked about Australia so much and now I have to see this place that connects me to her.This is an adventure.36.

She is the first African American woman to fly in space.Mae Carol Jemison was born in Decatur, Alabama in 1956. She wanted to travel in space when she was a child. She was once inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. She also had a great love for the arts and performed well in her high school theatrical production, playing Maria in West Side Story. Remarkably, this talented young girl entered Stanford University at the tender age of 16 and received her BS in chemical engineering.Jemison obtained her Ph.D in medicine in 1981 from Cornell Medical College (renamed Weill Medical College of Cornell University). While studying in medical school she went to Cuba, Thailand, and Kenya to help out in those countries. Jamison continued endeavoring (努力) in the arts and took dance courses. She started her own dance studio and has produced several dance productions since then.This amazing lady also worked as a medical officer for the Peace Corps. She worked on the research for vaccines (疫苗) at the Center for Disease Control. Jamison’s first application for NASA was refused but she was accepted into the astronaut program on her second try in 1987. Before taking flight, she worked at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. She was a mission specialiston her space flight upon the STS-47 Endeavor. Dr. Jamison left NASA to pursue different goals.Now Jemison advocates (主张) strongly science education and getting children interested in science. She sees science and technology as being very much part of our society.40. What did Mae Carol Jemison major in when she entered Stanford University?A. Medical treatment.B. The arts and performance.C. Chemical engineering.D. Knowledge on space.41. From this text we learn that Jemison .A. was a child of a white settlerB. got her Ph.D at the age of 25C. liked sports very much as a childD. once studied in three colleges42. Jemison traveled to Cuba, Thailand, and Kenya probably to .A. see the attractions thereB. get some work experienceC. give the local people moneyD. offer medical help to the local people43. Which of the following does Jemison pay attention to most?A. The project of helping poor Africans.B. The space flight development.C. Children’s science education.D. The research on disease control.CWhen someone wants to have a new life, he/she is more willing to make some changes in his/her life and in his/her outlook. Actually slight changes can make one’s life different.Those slight changes are more easily to put into action. To change the small parts rather than carry out a big plan for a series of big stuff can make people more likely to focus on it. Take changing the hair style for example. It is a pretty easy task to finish. When I feel happy, I am more willing to change the sheets, clean out some clutter to make my house look better and so on. After doing that, I can feel more control over my life.The small changes we achieve can also give us more confidence to achieve the big goals. The good results we get from the small changes can bring us a taste of successful completion. Once a behavior has been developed into a habit, we are more likely to do it unconsciously. So start with small goals, for example to read five to ten pages of the book you think boring but really useful for you every da y rather than force yourself to finish it in one day. That’s a wiser way to achieve the big goal.On the other hand, by making small changes, we may ask ourselves, “How can I apply this process to the bigger thing that I want?” and then keep on going, esp ecially when we find those changes can make us feel the power to make positive changes.Start with a small decision. Who knows where we will go far in the end?44. Why does the author advise us to make slight changes first if we want to lead a new life?A. Because slight changes are more important.B. Because slight changes are easy to carry out.C. Because slight changes don’t need planning.D. Because slight changes are only half a success.45. What does the underlined word “clutter” in Paragr aph 2 probably mean?A. Necessary furniture.B. Something very useful.C. Things lying about untidily.D. Old electric equipment.46. The author takes reading a book for example to show readers .A. reading is very interesting and usefulB. how to become wiser by readingC. how a hard task can become easyD. reading is an important task47. The author mainly tells us to if we want some changes in our life.A. start with small changesB. make great progress at a timeC. make a difference in the futureD. read more books every dayDCanada is the closest of all our neighbors. Our Mexican boundary is less than half the length of our Canadian boundary. Not counting Alaska, the United States touches Canada along an unbroken line of 3,987 miles.Most of the Mexican people live far from our border, while most Canadians live right beside it. The large majority of the Canadian population is concentrated along the southern edge of the Dominion – a hundred miles from our country.In still other ways the Canadians are closer to us than any other people in the world. No other people are so like us in character. The Anglo-Canadians speak the same language, even the same slang. Canadian English is American English, not British English. The people of Canada are from much the same stock (血统) as the Americans –half from the British Isles and half from continental Europe. The Canadians and the Americans have grown up together in the same environment. The pattern of daily life is much the same.Not only are the Canadians more like us, but they also like us more than any other people do. The reason is that they understand us much better. On the whole, they know us as we have not begun to know them, and they tend to get angry about our indifference (冷漠).They also criticize us quite freely, and often very fairly. But this is the natural reaction of a small nation living under the shadow of a big one. It is also the kind of criticism one member of a family levels against (谴责) another – whom he would leap to defend if he heard an outsider say the same thing.48. What would be the best title for the text?A. How close are we to Canada?B. America – our closest neighborC. Why is a good neighbor so important?D. It’s easier to blame than to explain49. In the author’s opinion, .A. Mexico is more closely related to America than CanadaB. Canadian English differs greatly from American EnglishC. the Americans like the Canadians more than any other peopleD. the Americans should have a better understanding of the Canadians50. What’s the author’s attitude towards the Canadians?A. Puzzled.B. Friendly.C. Dissatisfied.D. Sympathetic.四、任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
