I’m a 20-year-old boy, and the following is my story.
A month after I graduated from high school in August, 2007, I was coming home from swim practice in the training centre of the city and was involved in a car accident. I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma for more than two months at Prince Georges Hospital.
I suffered a lot from the experience of dying eight times during my coma and I couldn’t open my mouth to talk or to communicate when I eventually came around. At that time, it seemed that walking was never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries. Just like my body, my dreams were completely destroyed. But I was not going to let my injuries stop me from realizing my dreams.
After receiving a total of 15 operations and 36 blood transfusions, I had to make every great effort to learn to talk, eat, walk, shower, and live on my own again. When I was out of hospital, I still had to go to outpatient therapy in Waldorf, Maryland. After I spent a few months in a wheelchair, I took baby steps to walk on my own. It was a miracle that I was able to walk again, but I still wanted to prove that I could not only walk, but also run. When it came true, I wanted to get back into the pool again. After having a few lung tests, I was able to go in the pool a little bit each week. After a few months of swim training, I began my freshman year at St. Mary’s College of Maryland and then became a proud member of the swim team.
By telling my story, I want to make a positive influence on the world. I am just trying to live each day to the fullest and inspire other people never to give up their dreams no matter how bad a situation is to them. I remember when I was still in my hospital bed, I would have my mom and dad push me round in my wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and chat with them and their family members. I wanted to let them know that everything was going to be okay. Somehow, things would work out for the best.

a. went to outpatient therapy
b. received membership of the swim team
c. was pushed around to visit other patients

e. learnt to live all by himself
A. d、a、c、b、e B. e、c、d、a、b
C. d、c、a、b、e D. e、c、a、d、b
44. In the last paragraph, the author mainly wants to show _______.

Linda often asked Luke to dinner. Linda loved Luke, but Luke loved Linda’s cooking, not Linda herself. Linda accepted that for the time being. But she felt that, with enough meals and enough time, she would get her man.
Luke rarely stayed more than ten minutes past the last bite of dessert. Linda would ask luke if he wanted to watch TV, or play cards or chess, or take a walk around the neighborhood, but Luke always declined. He always said, “ I’ve got to go.” They both knew that Luke didn’t have to go anywhere. All he ever did was to go back to his apartment and read books or go online.
Tonight was probably going to be more of the same. But Linda was a patient woman. She loved to cook, and she loved to watch people eat her cooking. Tonight she prepared shrimp, fresh green beans, mashed potatoes, and asparagus(芦笋). Luke ate everything. Then she brought out her homemade cheesecake with vanilla ice cream for dessert.
Luke asked, “ Are you trying to fatten me up for something? Every time I come over here, I have to eat celery(芹菜) and lettuce for a week to get back down to my normal weight. Or maybe I should start going to the gym more often. Nah, I’m too lazy for that.”
“Oh, stop exaggerating(夸张).” Linda replied. “ You enoy every mouthful. And besides, I don’t think you lazy at all.”
“ You’re right. I apologise. I love your cooking, and if you didn’t invite me over here, I’d be hurt and hungry.”
Linda watched contentedly(满足地) as Luke devoured the cheesecake and ice cream. Someday, she thought, I will be his dessert.
41. Which of the following were included in the meal Linda made for Luke.
A. Shrimp, tomatoes and ice cream.
B. Mashed potatoes, ice cream and cheesecake.

C. Linda prefers fat men.
D. Both Luke and Linda are single.
43. According to the passage which of the following is NOT true about Luke?

B. He enjoys reading.
C. He prefers ice cream to cheesecake.
D. He has had dinner with Linda before.
44. What would be the best title for this passage?
A. My Foolish Heart.
B. The Way to a Man’s Heart is Through his Stomach.
C. The Fatter the Better.
D. The Food of Life.
45. Why did Luke always decline Linda’s invitations to do other things besides eating?
A. He was often busy at work.
B. He only liked Linda’s cooking.
C. He preferred being alone most of the time.

The beginning of a Frank Sinatra song drifted across the dance floor and I knew my dad would call out and request that, which for most people is very 36 .

It took all my will to 41 my own tears and inside a voice kept 42 : “Don’t fall over ,Martine.” We grabbed each other and in some way shuffled(穿梭)out a dance for the whole of the song.

Psychologically, I am a different person. I am very body conscious. When I go out I am 51 that children will make fun of me on my artificial legs. In my wheelchair I cover my lower half with a blanket 52 what remains of my body draws 53 glances.
Despite my brave claims of what I would do when I left the hospital in March, the reality is that I will 54 be able to do many things .I thought I would be able to wear my artificial legs all day ,to run ,to go out alone. But that is just not possible.

The US navy boarded an apparent pirate (海盗) ship in the Indian Ocean and kept 26 men for questioning, the navy said Sunday.
The 16 Indians and 10 Somali men were aboard a traditional dhow (单桅三角帆船) that was chased and seized Saturday by the US guided missile destroyer (驱逐舰) USS Winston Churchill, said Lieut I.eslie Hull-Ryde of US Naval Forces Central Command in Bahrain.
The dhow stopped fleeing after the Churchill twice fired warning shots during the chase, which continued no more than 87 kilometers off the coast of Somalia, the navy said. US sailors boarded the dhow and seized a cache (暗窖) of small arms.
The dhow"s crew and passengers were being questioned Sunday aboard tim Churchill to determine which were pirates and which were lawful crew members, Hull-Ryde said.

The Churchill is part of a muhinational task force patrolling (巡逻) the western Indian Ocean and Horn of Africa region to thwart (阻止) terrorist activity and other lawlessness during the US-led war in Iraq.
The Navy said it captured the dhow in response to a report from the International Maritime (海事的) Bureau in Kuala Lumpur on Friday that said pirates had fired on the MV Delta Ranger, a Bahamian-flagged bulk carrier (货轮) that was passing some 320 kilometres off the central eastern coast of Somalia.
Hull-Ryde said the navy was still investigating the incident and would discuss with international authorities what to do with the men kept aboard the Churchill.

C. a military ship D. the title of a military action
74. Which of the following correctly describes how the dhow was captured?
a.Warning shots were fired b. Merchant ships were attacked by pirates.
c. The dhow was hijacked, d. US sailors boarded the dhow.
A. d-a-b-c B. c-b-a-d C. b-a-d-c D. a-b-d-c
75. How did the US navy find the dhow?

Richard Rice, a fast-talking man paced up and down in front of the freshmen debate class, telling us about his high expectations. We were special, he declared on our first day at Oak Park High School. But there would be no 21 to success. Only those who worked hard would shine.
Suddenly Mr. Rice 22 in mid-sentence and looked at me. “You know,” he said “you’re black!” Somehow, I knew he wasn’t trying to hurt me.
Mr. Rice was no 23 teacher. I entered high school not even quite sure what debate was. I left his class four years later as an outstanding debater. Even today, I am not sure what 24 such a great teacher of him. He always said whatever he was thinking. And he was 25 . He would march out of the classroom 26 if he thought a student was giving less than his effort. The worse thing with us was to be taken no notice of. Instead, being torn apart by Mr. Rice in the middle of a practice debate meant you were one of his favorites.
He wasn’t always 27 on us. I’ll never forget the National Student Debate, at which my calm delivery and my firm grasp of the problems disappeared. The only face I could make out in the audience was Mr. Rice’ s face. I could 28 I was doing terrible just by looking at him. After it was over, he came over to me. “Not my best 29 ,” I said. He shook his head, “No.” Then, to my surprise, he gave me a hug.
Mr. Rice’s style didn’t make him a great teacher for everyone. Many kids 30 out of the debate class after the first year. But for me four years with him was my unforgettable experience.
