This morning my American friends Jack and I went to the temple fair holding in our city. When we arrived at the park, we were amazed at that we saw. There were such many different performances and booths selling tradition handicrafts. Since there were lots of games to play, food to eat, and performances to see, we spend at least six hours walking through crowds of people. Jack said he had great time because he not only tasted numerous kinds of local snacks and another dishes but also enjoyed live dragon and lion dances, waist drum dancing and other folk performances. We came back of home at about seven p.m., tired and happy.

Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to _______ her from it all. But Cathy woke me up early next morning, wearing her swimsuit _______ to go! I told her she shouldn’t swim after a whole night’s coughing, but she refused to _______ and insisted she go.

From that day on, Cathy kept swimming and didn’t ________ a single practice. She had a ________ intention within herself to be the best she could be.

There were moments of ________ of course: often she would be the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for Cathy to accept that she wasn’t a ________—ever. But that didn’t stop her from trying.

Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Cathy didn’t expect any award but was still there to ________ her friends and praise their accomplishments.

4 . For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans.    1     Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today.Strauss' invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world.

Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829.    2     He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847.Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods business.This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention.After the gold rush of 1949, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes.

Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals.Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners.At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth.    3    When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners.These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more.

In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets (铆钉).This made the pants last a long time.Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent.    4    .

By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion.

    5    The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world.

A．Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable.

B．As a young boy, he moved with his family to the United States.

C．However, he did not get much business for those products.

D．He did and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since.

E．He also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry.

F．As the business grew, Strauss got much money from it.

G．Since they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of American consumer culture.

5 . When I was a puppy, I entertained you and made you laugh. You called me your child, and I became your best friend. Whenever I was “bad” , you’d shake your finger at me and ask “How could you?” My house-training took a little longer than expected, but we worked on that together. We went for long walks and runs in the park, car rides, and stopped for ice cream.

Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. She, now your wife, was not a “dog person”, but I was happy because you were happy. When the human babies came along, I shared your excitement and I wanted to mother them, too. Yet I spent most of my time being driven to another room. Fortunately, as they began to grow, I became their friend.

Then you had a better job in another city, and the new apartment didn’t allow pets. You made the right decision to send me to an animal shelter for your “family”. I was excited about the car ride until we arrived there. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. At the gate, your son screamed in tears and you had to loosen his fingers from my collar.

Sometimes when I heard human footsteps, I thought it was you. It never was. Finally, the day came. As I felt the cool liquid coursing through my body, I lay down sleepily, looked into the staff’s kind eyes and murmured “How could you?”

Perhaps because she understood my dogspeak, she said “I’m so sorry.” And with my last bit of energy, I tried to tell her that my “How could you?” was not directed at her. It was you, My Beloved Master. I will think of you and wait for you forever.

1. What is Paragraph 1 mainly about?

A．A lovely puppy.

2. Why did the dog spend time being driven to another room?

A．It liked to do things alone.

B．It got no space in the room.

C．It didn’t like the babies at first.

3. Why did the son scream in tears at the gate of the animal shelter?

A．He didn’t want to leave the dog behind.

B．The shelter wasn’t good enough.

C．He was afraid of the dogs.

D．His father went away.

4. What can be the best title for this passage?

A．How Could You?

B．My Beloved Master

C．The Death of a Dog

D．What is the Power of Loyalty?

6 . I was a shy girl. I didn’t even like to answer the telephone for fear I’d have to talk to somebody I didn’t know. I enjoyed the loneliness of exploring nature. However, at school I had to spend all day in the company of others. My escape was reading. I spent a lot of time studying and was rewarded with good grades. My only failure was Spanish—I’d get all As on my written work and tests, but Ds and Fs on the spoken part.

Eventually I went to college. During my third year of college, I had enough of being shy and determined to change my outlook and behavior. One day while at school, I noticed an advertisement for positions on the local classical music radio station. I had grown up listening to classical music, and I could easily pronounce names such as Tchaikovsky, Albinoni, and Chopin.

I had absolutely no background in radio, and absolutely no hope of getting the job. The idea of talking to thousands of listeners in “radio land” terrified me. However, I luckily survived the interview. I was given brief descriptions of symphonies（交响乐）and a public service announcement to read, and a list of composers’ names to pronounce. It wasn’t hard for me. I left the recording session（录音时段）with a sense of relief and a sense of accomplishment. About two weeks later I actually landed the job. It was a challenging job, but I grew to enjoy it greatly. I began to feel comfortable talking to people.

Although I now spend many hours each week talking with people, I’m still basically a quiet person. Perhaps it is my soft voice and my quiet nature that helps draw people out as they respond to my questions as I interview them. My former shyness is a fortune, as I can relate to people who feel discomfortable when they talk to newspaper reporters. I still enjoy moments of loneliness and the peace found in nature. But I’m also glad I decided to make a change in my life that has opened many doors and opportunities that I never knew existed.

8 . My First Marathon（马拉松）

A month before my first marathon, one of my ankles was injured and this meant not running for two weeks, leaving me only two weeks to train. Yet, I was determined to go ahead.

I remember back to my 7th year in school. In my first P.E. class, the teacher required us to run laps and then hit a softball. I didn’t do either well. He later informed me that I was ＂not athletic＂.

The idea that I was ＂not athletic＂ stuck with me for years. When I started running in my 30s, I realized running was a battle against myself, not about competition or whether or not I was athletic. It was all about the battle against my own body and mind. A test of wills!

The night before my marathon, I dreamt that I couldn’t even find the finish line. I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.

Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!

At mile 3, I passed a sign: ＂GO FOR IT, RUNNERS!＂

By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.

By mile 21, I was starving!

As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan. She never minded the alarm clock sounding at 4 a.m. or questioned my expenses on running.

I was one of the final runners to finish. But I finished! And I got a medal. In fact, I got the same medal as the one that the guy who came in first place had.

Determined to be myself, move forward, free of shame and worldly labels(世俗标签), I can now call myself a ＂marathon winner＂.

1. A month before the marathon, the author ____________.

A．was well trained	B．felt scared
C．made up his mind to run	D．lost hope

2. Why did the author mention the P.E. class in his 7th year?

A．To acknowledge the support of his teacher.

B．To amuse the readers with a funny story.

C．To show he was not talented in sports.

D．To share a precious memory.

3. How was the author’s first marathon?

A．He made it.	B．He quit halfway.
C．He got the first prize.	D．He walked to the end.

4. What does the story mainly tell us?

A．A man owes his success to his family support.

B．A winner is one with a great effort of will.

C．Failure is the mother of success.

D．One is never too old to learn.

9 . When I was younger, I was too shy to the point where I could not even make eye contact（接触）with people I didn’t know. If someone greeted me in the hallway, I would lower my head and hurried passed.

Funnily enough, this would not have been such a big deal if I had connected with their values and interests. However, everyone in my school was much wealthier than me, and focused on partying and fashion which were contrary to my interests. Although I had a few acquaintances（熟人）, no one seemed to understand me, unable to share my sometimes dark humor and interest in science fiction.

Halfway through ninth grade, I was once again thrown into a school of strangers. Making friends was difficult, and I sat alone at lunch for the rest of the year. In tenth grade, however, I took part in my school’s theatre program, where I met some of my closest friends. The theatre forced me to overcome my shyness and taught me to speak up for myself. Furthermore, pretending to be someone else gave me a sense of previously unknown confidence.

Although I have a lot going for me right now, I will never forget the struggles I had to overcome when I was younger. This is why, whenever I see someone struggling or standing by themselves, I always invite them to sit with my friends and me. I may not be able to give them my full attention all of the time, but the main point is to let them know someone recognizes their existence and is willing to connect with them.

1. Which of the following is true about the author according to the first two paragraphs?

A．Others couldn’t understand him.	B．He argued with others often.
C．He envied the rich very much.	D．He had many interesting hobbies.

2. When did the author begin to feel self-confident?

A．In Grade Seven.	B．In Grade Eight.
C．In Grade Ninth.	D．In Grade Ten.

3. How does the author help those struggling or standing by themselves?

A．By inviting his friends to accompany them.

B．By asking them to sit with his friends and him.

C．By persuading them to overcome their problems.

D．By giving them his full attention all of the time.

4. What does the author intend to tell us?

A．How to get on well with others

B．How to make friends with others.

C．How to get rid of shyness gradually.

D．How to grow up in a healthy way.

10 . What do you do when you were born with only two fingers on each hand and your legs were amputated（截肢）at the knees when you were three? Lee Hee-ah ________ that in her life. And her legs ________ at her knees. When Lee was born, doctors told her mother Woo Kap-sun that her child wasn’t ________. But Woo was determined her daughter would ________ a successful life.
