I always felt sorry for the people in a wheelchair. Some people, old and weak, cannot   36 
by themselves. Others seem perfectly healthy, dressed in business suits. But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair, I only saw a (n)   37  , not a person.

Then I fainted at Euro Disney due to low   38   pressure. This was the first time I had ever lost consciousness, and my parents said that I must   39   for a while after First Aid. I agreed to
  40   but, as I stepped toward the door, I saw my dad pushing a wheelchair in my direction!  41 
the color burn my cheeks, I asked him to   42   that thing right back to where he found it.

I could not believe this was happening to me. Wheelchairs were   43   for other people but not for me, as my father wheeled me   44   into the main street, people immediately began to treat me   45  .

Little rids ran in front of me,  46   my father to stop the wheelchair suddenly.  47   set in as I was thrown back and forth. “Stupid kids – they have perfectly good   48  . Why can’t they watch where they are going?” I thought. People stared down at me,  49   in their eyes. Then they would look away, maybe because they thought the   50   they forgot me, the better.

“I’m just like you!” I wanted to scream. “The only difference is you’ve got legs,  51   I have wheels.”

People in wheelchairs are not   52  . They see every look and hear each word. Looking out at the faces, I finally understood: I was once just like them. I treated people in wheelchairs   53   
the way they did not want to be   54  . I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly   55  .

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

    It was not yet eleven o’clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger who obtained his transportation at that unusual hour by promising an extra fare. While the youth stood on the landing place searching in his pocket for money, the boatman lifted a lantern, by the aid of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a very accurate survey of the stranger’s figure. He, a young man of only 18 years, was evidently country bred (乡下长大的), and now, as it seemed, on his first visit to town. He was wearing a rough gray coat, which was in poor shape, but which had seen many winters before this one. The garments under his coat were well constructed of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of muscular legs; his stocking of blue yarn (纱) must have been the work of a mother or sister, and on his head was a three–cornered hat, which in its better days had perhaps sheltered the grayer head of the youth’s father. In his left hand was a walking stick, and his equipment was completed by a leather bag not so plentifully stocked as to inconvenience the strong shoulders on which it hung. Brown, curly hair, well–shaped features, bright, cheerful eyes were nature’s gift, and worth all that art could have done for his adornment (装饰物). The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with a light step, as if he had not already traveled more than 30 miles that day. As he walked, he surveyed his surroundings as eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid, instead of metropolis (大都市) of a New England colony.

56．What time of year was in this story?

       A．Spring.              B．Summer.            C．Fall.                  D．Winter.

57．The boatman was willing to take Robin across the river because          .

       A．he wanted to make extra money                     

B．he saw Robin young and rich

       C．he was going to row across the river anyway

D．he felt sorry for Robin because he looked poor

58．The stockings that Robin wore were obviously           .

       A．well worn              B．handmade           C．very expensive      D．much too big

59．How did Robin appear when he walked into town?

       A．He was tired.                                    B．He seemed very sad.

       C．He was cheerful and excited.             D．He seemed frightened by his strange surroundings.

    Catherine Destivelle is rock star. She loves rock, but she can’t sing or play the guitar! She is a rock climber and a big star in France and Italy. She is the most famous woman climber in the world because she climbs without ropes. She climbs in many countries but most often in the French Alps near Chamonix, where she lives. She started climbing near her home in Paris when she was five. Then, at fourteen, she joined the French Alpine Club to learn more, but immediately she climbed better and more quickly than the older members of the club. She won her first competition in Italy in 1995.

Three years ago she found a new route up the Dru Mountain near Chamonix. The climb took eleven days and for four days the snow was so heavy that she could not move. Last year other climbers tried to follow the new Destivelle Route, but they failed. They are going to try again this year.

    People always ask her about her climbing. She says, “I climb because I’m in love with mountains. I like touching the rock and reading the face of the rock. I like it a lot. I felt at home on the side of a mountain. I prepare well before I go, so I’m never worried.”

   Catherine chooses new mountain from books-like buying from a shopping catalogue（目录）! “I see a nice mountains and I go to climb it!” Her next mountain is in Pakistan. She is going there next month：“It’s much bigger than the Dru, so it’s going to take longer to climb. An American climber, Jeff Lowe, is coming with me to help. ”

64.Catherine Destivelle is called “a star” because__________.

   A. she won a competition in 1995             B. she loves rocks

   C. she’s a famous woman climber        D. she found a new route up to the Dru Mountain

65. She had great trouble finding a new route up the Dru Mountain because____________.

   A. she lost her way                                     B. the climb took 11 days.

   C. she needed help from an American climber      D. there was heavy snow

66.On the side of a mountain she feels __________

A. worried      B. easy and happy     C. like going home      D. well

67.We can infer from the passage people often ask her“____________”.

  A. Why do you like climbing?              B. Are you in love with an American climber?

   C. Do you enjoy reading books on mountains?

   D. What do you do before you go climbing?

D

Malaria, the world's most widespread parasitic(寄生虫引起的) disease, kills as many as three million people every year—almost all of whom are under five, very poor, and African. In most years, more than five hundred million cases of illness result from the disease, although exact numbers are difficult to assess because many people don't (or can't) seek care. It is not unusual for a family earning less than two hundred dollars a year to spend a quarter of its income on malaria treatment, and what they often get no longer works. In countries like Tanzania, Mozambique, and the Gambia, no family, village, hospital, or workplace can remain unaffected for long.

   Malaria starts suddenly, with violent chills, which are soon followed by an intense fever and, often, headaches. As the parasites multiply, they take over the entire body. Malaria parasites live by eating the red blood cells they infect (感染). They can also attach themselves to blood vessels in the brain. If it doesn't kill you, malaria can happen again and again for years. The disease passed on to humans by female mosquitoes infected with one of four species of parasite. Together, the mosquito and the parasite are the most deadly couple in the history of the earth—and one of the most successful. Malaria has five thousand genes, and its ability to change rapidly to defend itself and resist new drugs has made it nearly impossible to control. Studies show that mosquitoes are passing on the virus more frequently, and there are more outbreaks in cities with large populations. Some of the disease's spread is due to global warming.

    For decades, the first-choice treatment for malaria parasites in Africa has been chloroquine, a chemical which is very cheap and easy to make. Unfortunately, in most parts of the world, malaria parasites have become resistant to it. Successful alternatives that help prevent resistance are already available, but they have been in short supply and are very expensive. If these drugs should fail, nobody knows what would come next.

68. People suffering from malaria___.

A. have to kill female mosquitoes    

B. have ability to defend parasites

C. have their red blood cells infected

D. have sudden fever, followed by chills

69. Which of the following may be the reason for the wide spread of the disease?

A. Its resistance to global warming.

B. Its ability to pass on the virus frequently.

C. Its outbreaks in cities with large populations.

D. Its ability to defend itself and resist new drugs.

70. It can be inferred from the passage that___.

A. no drugs have been found to treat the disease

B. the alternative treatment is not easily available to most people

C. malaria has developed its ability to resist parasites

D. nobody knows what will be the drug to treat the disease

71. Which of the following questions has NOT been discussed in the passage?

A. How can we know one is suffering from malaria?

B. How many people are killed by malaria each year?

C. Why are there so many people suffering from malaria7

D. What has been done to keep people unaffected for long7

E

Now let’s look ourselves as a species in relation to ecosystem balance.

Modern scientists believe that humankind, like other animals, evolved (进化) through millions of years of changes and adaptations to the environment and that our most direct evolutionary ancestor was probably an earlier species of the primate (monkey, ape) group. Despite this similarity with other creatures, however, the evolution of humankind differs from that of other species in one important and unique way.

In other species evolution has led to specialization, both in the species abilities and in its place within the environmental structure. For example, the giraffe(长颈鹿) is much adapted to feeding on treetops, but it is also specialized and thus limited to feeding on trees and shrubs (灌木). Only with great difficulty can it bend down to graze on the ground. Similarly, the anteater is extremely well adapted to eating ants but is unable to catch or eat other animals. The same is true for countless other species.

For humankind it is opposite. Our evolution had led to a very generalized ability. Our highly developed intelligence and ability to make and handle tools mean that we can do almost anything. Humans evolved in such a way that we are able to move into every environment on Earth and even into space. No natural competitor offers great resistance, and other natural enemies such as disease have been controlled.

Said another way, we see in humankind a great imbalance between biological potential and environmental resistance. The result is the rapidly increasing world population, frequently referred to as the population explosion. Further, to support our growing population, natural ecosystems are being increasingly displaced by human habitations, agriculture, and other human supporting activities.

72．From the passage we can infer that in the course of evolution           .

       A．humankind is very important to earlier species, such as the primate group

       B．human beings are limited by the environment while animals are not

       C．human beings become more and more different from each other

       D．humankind has experienced a generalization rather than specialization in ability

73．According to the passage, primate includes such animals as             .

       A．monkeys and anteaters(食蚁兽)                   B．tigers and apes

       C．apes and monkeys                                        D．monkeys and giraffes

74．According to the passage, evolution has made it possible for humans to          .

       A．increase the population  B．resist natural offers  C．go to the moon D．cure all diseases

75．According to the author, imbalance between biological potential and environmental resistance has resulted in            .

       A．the population explosion                            B．the destruction of human habitations

       C．the growth of natural ecosystem                 D．the specialization of human

Every student will be faced with the question after he passes the college entrance examinations: should I choose a good major or a good university first? Some students prefer to consider majors first so that they can learn what they are interested in. It will also make it possible for them to take their favourite jobs in the future. However, those who think differently believe that the environment is important to one’s development and that graduates from leading university are often more likely to find a good job.

In my opinion the best choice is a good major at a good university. If we cannot obtain both, the first thing to consider is a good major, because no matter where we study, we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if we try our best.
