A.

Monty Robert’s father was a horse trainer. As a child, Monty often went from one farm to 16 with his father. Sometimes they didn’t have enough money to 17 food, but Monty still kept hoping to own a horse farm.

When he was in school, his teacher asked him to write a paper 18 what he wanted to be and do when he grew up. He wrote a seven-page paper talking about his dream of having a horse farm one day. He 19 drew a picture of a horse farm in the paper.

The next day he handed 20 in to his teacher. Two days later, he got his paper back. On the front page was a large red “F” with some words “See me after class.” 21 the boy did and asked his teacher, “Why did I get an F?” The teacher said, “This dream will not 22 for a young boy like you. Owning a horse farm needs a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for a lot of things. There is no way you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added,“If you write this paper again with a simple dream, I will give you a good grade.”

After school he thought about it 23 . At last, he decided to hand in the same paper, making 24 changes at all. He wrote, “You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.”

Many years later, Monty had his own 200 acres horse farm. His dream came true.

So don’t let 25 take away your dreams. Follow your dreams, no matter what they are.

The water tap was leaking(漏水)again,and the noise was driving Cassie crazy.

Next Cassie opened a box in the kitchen and picked out the tools she needed—a hammer,a wrench,and several small things.It was no easy job for her to do the repair,and she tried several times.Finally,the water tap was in pieces.One by one,she carefully laid them out on the table.That way she would know how they went back.While this was going on,her cat walked over to watch what she was doing.

“That’s right,”Cassie said.“Something is missing.I fixed the water tap.It

doesn’t leak any more.”

Like many people,I have no clear idea about heroes.At some point,we all wonder if we need a hero and what a hero really is.

Although there are a lot of differences in cultures,heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics(特点)which give us courage and make us want to learn from them.

A hero does something worth talking about.A hero has a special story to tell and people think highly of it.But a hero is not just the person with great fame(声誉).

A hero has powers(力量)larger than himself.Some people want to live like a hero,and they have to experience life with new and further meaning.A sure test for would be heroes is what or whom they serve.What do they want to live and die for?If the answer suggests they serve only their own fame,they may be famous persons but not heroes.

A hero has a vision form the mountaintop.He has the power to move people.He creates new possibilities.Without Gandhi,India might still be part of Britain.Without Martin Luther King,Jr.,Americans might take different buses,eat in different restaurants,go for walks in different parks,and shop in different stores because of the

different colours of their skin.

There might be changes in society without a hero,but the speed of change would be rather slow.Thanks to heroes in history,they make the society develop so rapidly.

Around the world more and more people are taking part in dangerous sports and activities. Of course, there have always been people who have looked for adventures ——those who have climbed the highest mountains, traveled into unknown parts of the world or sailed in small boats across the greatest oceans. Now, however, there are people who look for an immediate excitement from a risky activity which may only last a few minutes or even seconds.

I would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. You jump from a high place (perhaps a bridge or a hot air balloon) 200 metres above the ground with an elastic (有弹性的) rope tied to your ankles. You fall at up to 150 kilometres an hour until the rope stops you from hitting the ground. It is said that

about 2 million people around the world have now tried bungee jumping. Other activities which most people would say are as risky as bungee jumping include jumping from tall building and diving into the sea from the top of high cliff（悬崖）.

Why do people take part in such activities as these? Some psychologists suggest that it is because life in modern societies has become safe and boring. Not very long ago, diseases could not easily be cured, and life was a continuous battle for survival(生存).

Nowadays, according to many people, life offers little excitement. They live and work in comparatively safe conditions; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to look after them if they become ill. The answer for some of these people is to look for danger in activities such as bungee jumping.

36. The best title for the text is________- .

A. Dangerous sports: what and why

B. The boredom of modern life

C. Bungee jumping: Is it really dangerous?

D. The need for excitement

37. More and more people ________today .

A. are trying activities such as bungee jumping

B. are climbing the highest mountains

C. are coming close to death in sports

D. are looking for adventures such as traveling into unknown places

38. In bungee jumping, you______ .

A. jump as high as you can

B. slide down a rope to the ground

C. attach(系) yourself to a rope and fall to the ground

D. fall towards the ground without a rope

39. People probably take part in dangerous sports nowadays because ________.

A. they have a lot of free time

B. they can go to hospital if they are injured

C. their life is short of excitement

D. they no longer need to hunt for food

40. The writer of the text has a _________ attitude towards dangerous sports.

A. positive(肯定的)

B. negative(否定的)

C. neutral(中立的)

D. nervous(紧张的)

Ⅵ．阅读理解(二)(本题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分)

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，回答下列问题。

Have you heard about “Survival (生存) Holidays”? “Survival Holidays” is for children to go into the lonely place for exciting activities. Now about 1,100 companies are allowed to take children into the great outdoors without their parents.

The reason why people like “Survival Holidays” is that they think being close to nature is good for children. Many children in big cities spend all time watching TV and playing computer games. “Survival Holidays” gives them an important change.

Is “Survival Holidays” a wonderful idea? Maybe it is. Children need more free time to play. They need to be left on their own, without adults disturbing (打扰) them. Parents care too much about their children. They like to see the children being busy with activities that are controlled by adults, but childr en don’t know what to do when they are in danger. Even something like crossing a small river seems to be a hard challenge. Children are not comfortable with danger. Even small danger like getting their feet wet or falling down seems very terrible to them.

Many people think the survival activities are good for children. Even years later, they will still remember what they have learned. Some have learned to stay calm in different times. Some have learned how to keep safe. Others have learned how to work in a team. All these skills will help them a lot in their lives.

Answer the following questions according to the passage.

65. Is “Survival Holidays” for children or parents?

66. Why do people like “Survival Holidays”?

67. What do the children in big cities usually do?

68. How do children feel when they are in danger?

69 What can children learn in the survival activities？
