Wrapped in a loop of red silk hung from the ceiling Jennifer Bricker climbs and twists to the music. Her head hangs down and her strong arms let go as she balances on her back, high above the ground a move thats all the more daring because she has no legs. Jennifer was a few months old when she was adopted by Sharon and Gerald Bricker. She had big brown eyes, a bright smile, and huge amounts of energy. When a doctor advised her adoptive parents to carry her around in a kind of bucket, they refused. Jennifer soon learned to walk and run on her hands and bottom, and grew up fearlessly climbing trees and bouncing on the trampoline (蹦床) with her three older brothers. “My parents didnt treat me differently so I didnt grasp the concept that I was different. I knew I didnt have legs but that wasnt stopping me from doing the things I wanted to do.” At the age of three she was fitted with artificial legs, but she never really took to them she moved more freely without. In 1996 the Olympic Games took place in Atlanta. Jennifer loved to watch the womens gymnastics team, and especially adored the 14-year-old Dominique Moceanu who competed for the US. When Moceanu and the womens team won gold, Jennifer decided she was going to be a gymnast, too. She took up power tumbling, which involves performing floor exercises down a runway. But Jennifer did not want any allowances to be made for her disability. At the age of 10 she took part in the Junior Olympics and by age 11 she was tumbling champion for the state of Illinois. Jennifer now travels the world as an inspirational speaker and acts as an aerial performer.21. What do we know about Jennifer Bricker? A. She felt embarrassed without legs. B. She was brought up as a normal child. C. She was carried in a bucket as a baby. D. She lost her legs when she was adopted.22. Why did Jennifer determine to be a gymnast? A. She knew that she was different from others. B. She wanted to make allowances for her disability. C. She was eager to participate in the Junior Olympics. D. She was greatly influenced by Dominique Moceanu.23. Which of the following can best describe Jennifer Bricker? A. Self-respected.B. Cautious.C. Sensitive.D. Clever.24. What is the passage mainly about? A. The sufferings of a gymnast. B. The memory of an aerial performer. C. The experiences of an adoptive family. D. The growing process of a disabled person.BAre you looking for a museum off the beaten path? Try these places. Bata Shoe Museum The Bata Shoe Museum opened in 1995 on the premise (前提) that “footwear is a source of delight and reflection of human history”. The space was designed by Raymond Moriyama. Permanent collection includes 12000 pairs of shoes and artifacts. Notable shoes are those belonging to Marilyn Monroe, Princess Diana, Elton John and Madonna. Campbell House Campbell House was built in 1822 by Sir William Campbell chief justice of Upper Canada from 1825-1829. Campbell lived in the house for 12 years before he died. The house was occupied by various other families and used for various other uses (vinegar factory, glassworks). In 1972 in order to preserve the building, the Advocates Society moved from its location on Adelaide St to its current home at Queensland University. The building was restored to be as historically accurate as possible.Gibson House Museum The Gibson House Museum is an example of Georgian architecture. It was built in the mid 19th century as a farm house for David Gibson a member of the Legislative Assembly. After being used as a boarding house for many years, the building interior was restored. The museum has a hands-on “discovery gallery” with interactive games and exhibits. On weekends workshops are offered on cooking, desserts, breads and preserves.Black Creek Pioneer Village Black Creek is a recreation of a Victorian Farm with buildings moved and reconstructed from around Ontario. The result is a 1860s Ontario village. Exhibits demonstrate how domestic tasks were completed before modern technology. Activities include spinning, baking, and a history lesson.Historical interpreters dress in the clothing of the period and answer visitors questions. Favorite destinations in the village include the farm, doctors house, and the mill. At the historic brewery, beer is brewed using all natural ingredients.

Many single people say thatFrances capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people. The complaints of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as “supermarket dating.” At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet, singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list. They can look for someone who has blue eyes, brown hair, and is 1.8 meters tall, or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list. At this Paris location, single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between 6:30 and 9:00 p.m. When they walk through the door, they pick up a purple basket to advise that they are looking for love. They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly, and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles. With purple baskets in hand, shoppers can consider their romantic options while they pick out their groceries. When they are ready to pay, they can go to the checkout line for singles who want to chat. Most of the people who look for love in the supermarket are skeptical of Internet dating. They know that it is easy to embellish (美化) ones appearance or to lie about ones age over the Internet. The supermarket, on the other hand, is considered a safe and casual environment in which to meet a potential match. In addition, what one finds in anothers grocery basket can say a thing or two about that persons character or intentions. Buying pet food can be a mans way of showing a potential match that he has a sensitive side. Women who fill their baskets with low-fat food show their healthy style of living. These days its possible to find much more than food at a grocery store.28. What do many single people in Pairs complain about?A. The difficulty in meeting people.B. The idea of supermarket dating.C.

The dating supermarket has very good business.30. How do love shoppers meet one another?A. They schedule their meeting in advance.B. They go through a special checkout.C. They pick out their groceries with great care.D. They dial the phone numbers on their shopping items.31. Why do the people prefer the supermarket dating to Internet dating?A. The supermarket dating is more convenient.B. The supermarket dating is more casual.C. The supermarket dating can be trusted more.D. The supermarket dating is less expensive.DMaybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives.It takes an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return; but if it does not, be content it has grown in yours. Do not rely on ones appearance; it can trick you. Do not rely on wealth; even that fades away. Rely on someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trails to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy. The happiest of people do not necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness waits for those who cry, those appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Always put yourself in others shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.32. In this passage, the writer wants to tell us _.A. what to do in our life B. where to go with other personsC. how to treat our life D. how to get on well with other persons33. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. If you give someone your love, you are sure to receive love in return.B. We often dont know what we have lost until it happens someday.C. It is wise not to rely on anybody because you are likely to be cheated.D. If it takes you a short time to love someone, you will easily forget the person.34. If you put yourself in another persons position, _.A. you shouldnt do what will hurt other peopleB. you should put on other peoples shoesC. you should believe in other peopleD. you should depend on your imagination35. In the last paragraph the writer is actually telling us that a person in the world should be the one who _.A. can accept the suggestions made by othersB. can live happily and forget the pastC. does good to other people and is respected and loved by themD. smiles all the time whatever happens 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The young dolphin swam in the waters off Brisbane, Australia, and found his seafood dinner. Suddenly he realized that he was not the only hungry predator (捕食者) in the area. A ten-foot tiger shark aimed at the same fish. The dolphin refused to give up the meal and dashed to the shark. The shark attacked him, biting down hard into his back. 36 Later, on the sandy beach nearby, staff at the Tangalooma Resort were shocked to see the severely wounded male. He was a regular visitor, a playful 12-year-old dolphin called Nari.“Weve known him all his life, since he was a baby,” says resort director Trevor Hassard. 37 The wound measure about a foot long and more than an inch deep. He took photos of Nari and sent them to vets at Sea World, a local marine mammal park. They agreed that Nari needed emergency care. The next day, Sea World staff traveled to the beach to catch Nari. 38 Nor did he appear the next evening. Everyone was depressed and worried about him. 39 “I had started thinking the worst,” Hassard says. “Words cant describe how excited we were.” Six rescuers surrounded Nari and carried him to Sea World. The vets performed an operation to remove the dead flesh from around the bite. Nari was then moved to a special pool where his wound was cleaned and treated regularly. 40 Sea World decided to transport Nair back to his home beach. Hassard had worried that the other dolphins might reject Nari after such a long absence. That concern disappeared when Naris friend Echo instantly recognized him and moved close to his side.A. But Nari didnt show up.B. Three days later, Nari finally turned up.C. He felt quite worried when he took a close look at Naris injury.D. After seven weeks, Nari was fully recovered but growing restless.E. Shark researchers are trying to warn people to escape without being eaten.F. The five-meter-long dolphin simply swam away, disappearing into the water below.G. Luckily, the wounded dolphin managed to escape from the sharks biting with violent struggle.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。When my sister Diane began playing the violin, she was seven.
