AJean Driscoll can go faster in her wheelchair than the world’s best marathoners can run! In April, Jean finished the Boston Mar athon in 1 hour 34 minutes 22 seconds. That’s about 33 minutes faster than the winning male runner! She competed on the track, too. She was second in the 800 meter wheelchair race at the 1992 Olympics.Jean doesn’t like to be told she’s brave. “I’m in sports because I’m a competitive person!” Jean was born with spina befida, a birth illness that damages the spine(脊椎). She began to use a wheelchair to get around in high school. Then she tried wheelchair race and was amazed.” Players banged each other and fell out of their chair,” she says, “It was fun.”Jean tried other wheelchair sports. At the University of Illinois, her wheelchair basketball team won two national titles.Now Jean coaches and teaches. She tries to get people to set goals. “When I sign my autograph(亲笔签名),says Jean, “I write, dream big and work hard.”21.What made Jean take part in sports?A. She was brave.B. She was competitive.C. She was strong.D. She was disabled.22.What kind of education did she receive?A. High school.B. Junior middle schoolC. High education.D. Primary school.23.What is Jean’s advice on how to su cceed?A.

A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on follows at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and toeveryone's satisfaction.For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a subst itute impolitely; he does so with skill: “I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the color you mentioned.” Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: “This is th e right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.”Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”. She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lockout for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.24. The passage mainly talks about ________.A. differences between men and women shoppersB. A man goes shopping because he needs somethingC. How women go about buying clothes.D.

What does a man do when he can not get exactly what he wants?A. He buys a similar thing because of the color he wants.B. He usually does not buy anything.C. At least two of his requirements must be met before he buys.D. So long as the style is right, he buys the thing.27. What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers?A. Men do not try clothes on in a shop while women do.B. Women bargain for their clothes, but men do not.C. The time they take over buying clothes.D. Men go shopping based on need, but women neverCBRITAIN is a popular tourist place. But tours of the country have pros and cons.Good newsFree museums.

Most of the great performers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were born and brought up in Russia a nd Eastern Europe. I asked Isaac Stern, one of the world’s greatest violinists the reason for this phenomenon. “It is very clear,” he told me. “They were all Jews and Jews at the time were severely oppressed and ill-treated in that part of the world. They were not allowed into the professional fields, but they were allowed to achieve excellence on a concert stage.” As a result, every Jewish parent’s dream was to have a child in the music school because it was a passport to the West.Another element in the emergence of prodigies, I found, is a society that values excellence in a certain field to nurture (培育) talent. Nowadays, the most nurturing societies seem to be in the Far East. “In Japan, a most competitive society, with stronger discipline than ours,” sa ys Isaac Stern, children are ready to test their limits every day in many fields, including music. When Western music came to Japan after World War II, that music not only became part of their daily lives, but it became a discipline as well. The Koreans and Chinese as we know, are just as highly motivated as the Japanese.That’s a good thing, because even prodigies must work hard. Next to hard work, biological inheritance（遗传）plays an important role in the making of a prodigy. J. S. Bach, for example, was the top of several generations of musicians, and four of his sons had significant careers in music.32.Jewish parents in Eastern Europe longed for their children to attend music school because________.A. it would allow them access to a better life in the WestB. Jewish children are born with excellent musical talentC. they wanted their children to enter into the professional fieldD. it would enable the family to get better treatment in their own country33. Nurturing societies as mentioned in the passage refer to societies that ________.A. are highly motivated in the education of musicB. treasure talent and provide opportunities for its full developmentC. encourage people to compete with each otherD. promise talented children high positions34. Which of the following contributes to the emergence of musical prodigies according to thepassage?A. a natural gift.B. extensive knowledge of music.C. very early training.D. a prejudice-free society.35. Which of the following title best summarizes the main idea of the passage?A. Jewish Contribution to MusicB. Training of Musicians in the WorldC. Music and SocietyD.
