题型:不详难度:来源:
    Last night was the last game for my eight-year-old son"s soccer team. It was the final quarter. The score was two to one, my son"s team in the lead. Parents surrounded the playground, offering encouragement.
With less than ten seconds remaining, the ball suddenly rolled in front of my son"s teammate, Mickey O"Donnel. With shouts of "Kick it!" echoing (回响) across the playground, Mickey turned around and gave it everything he had. All around me the crowd erupted (沸腾). O"Donnel had scored!
Then there was silence. Mickey had scored all right, but in the wrong goal, ending the game in a tie. For a moment there was a total hush. You see, Mickey has Down syndrome (综合症) and for him there is no such thing as a wrong goal. All goals were celebrated by a joyous hug from Mickey. He had even been known to hug the opposing players when they scored.
The silence was finally broken when Mickey, his face filled with joy, hugged my son tightly and shouted, "I scored! I scored. Everybody won! Everybody won!" For a moment I held my breath, not sure how my son would react. I need not have worried. I watched, through tears, as my son threw up his hand in the classic high-five salute and started chanting, "Way to go Mickey! Way to go Mickey!" Within moments both teams surrounded Mickey, joining in the chant and congratulating him on his goal.
Later that night, when my daughter asked who had won, I smiled as I replied,  "It was a tie. Everybody won."
61. What was the score of the soccer match?
A. Two to two, equal to both the teams.        B. Three to one in Mickey"s team"s favor.
C. Two to one in the opposite team"s favor.        D. Everybody won because of Mickey"s goal.
62. The underlined word "hush" in paragraph 3 means
A. cheer    B. cry      C. laughter   D. silence
63. What did the author worry about when Mickey scored and hugged his son?
A. The result of the match would fail his son.
B. His son would shout at Mickey for his goal.
C. Mickey would again hug the opposing players.
D. His son would understand Mickey"s wrong goal.
64. It can be inferred(推断出) from the passage that ________.
A. both teams liked and respected Mickey
B. both teams were thankful to Mickey for his goal
C. Mickey didn"t mind though his goal was wrong
D. Mickey was a kind- hearted boy and hoped everybody won
65. The purpose of the author in writing the passage is ________.
A. to tell a joke to make readers laugh

某网站推出“Who is my angel ?”栏目,以下是有关该栏目中奖者的来信:
A.From Morgan Dunnivan
Hi, I’m 7 years old and my special angel is my mommy. She takes care of me and our house, works with troublesome teens as a volunteer, takes me to gymnastics every week, and works two jobs. My mommy is my best friend and we are angels for each other. She always thinks of others first. I think she should be the Angel Among Us winner. Please pick my mommy. It would be a great Christmas gift for her since I can’t buy her a present.
B.From Michael Allen, Greer Uniontown
Whether I am having a good day or in more cases a really bad day, she never seems to fail me, no matter what the circumstances are. Moreover, she’s by far one of my biggest fans. Mom is a really good-hearted person with a beautiful spirit that always shines through even during my darkest days. She definitely earns her angel wings.
C.From Brianna Callahan, Smock
My special angel is my mother. She is there whenever I need her. In my opinion, she deserves the gift. This gift would surely brighten up her day. She is the one who I can count on to help me or have a hot meal ready for dinner. Moms do that but no one really appreciates them as much as they should be. I just want to make her feel special. There may be a lot of special angels out there, but I think my mom is the only special angel in my heart.
D.From Renee Wheeler, Smithfield
We have been blessed with an angel in our family. I don’t even know if she knows the number of lives she has touched. She just goes on with her everyday tasks and never even realizes the wonderful love that flows from her every move. She is known by so many different titles, like, mom, aunt, sister, friend, neighbor, etc.
E. From Nicole Baughman, Smock
My special angel is my daddy. He is always there for me. He is a very hard-working man. And I’m proud of him to be my daddy. He loves me very much. He’s the one who gives us our alllowance. He puts food on the table. He is the best daddy in the world. I love him very much. He stands up for us and he cares for all of us. He picks me up because I am still really too short to pick something up.
F. From Sharon Williams, Uniontown
I met my special angel 32 years ago starting my first job. She trained me as a friend. She introduced me to one of her sons to whom I’ve been married for 20 years. She lovingly raised seven children, and after retiring helped to raise a grandchild who is now in college. Living next door she was always there to help with our two sons, babysitting, fixing them snacks, or teaching them how to make peanut butter and banana sandwiches.
以下是中奖者所选angel的获奖感言,请匹配这些获奖感言与其对应的书信。
56. “I am very happy to get the gift and I am very sorry to seize it from my wife. And I believe that my wife, her mother, does better than me.”
57. “As my son says, this is the best present he can afford for me. I am proud of him to ‘buy’ me the valuable gift when he is so young.”
58. “I am very happy to have the honor. I think I should thank my children, my relatives, my friends, my neighbors and so on.”
59. “I’m very happy that my daughter-in-law gives me so high a prize. But I think it is my duty to take care of my sons and my grandchildren.”
60. “I never imagined that my favorite star would give me such a high and special honor. I believe that I will still be his fan for ever.”

阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Florence Chadwick was a great swimmer. However, not all of her efforts worked out. In addition to working hard, she had a secret for success. At the age of 34, her goal was to become the first woman to swim from Catalina Island to the California coast. However, in 1952, the sea was like an ice bath and the fog was so dense that she could hardly see her support boats. Her body was numb(麻木)and she had been swimming for nearly 16 hours. Against the frigid(寒冷)grip of the sea, she struggled on—hour after hour—while millions watched on national television.
Alongside Florence, in one of the boats, her mother and her trainer offered encouragement. They told her it wasn’t much farther. But all she could see was fog. They urged her not to quit. She never had… until then. With only a half mile to go, she asked to be pulled out. Still thawing(使变暖和) her chilled body several hours later, she told a reporter, “Look, I’m not excusing myself, but if I could have seen land I might have made it.” It was not tiredness or even the cold water that defeated her. It was the fog. She was unable to see her goal.
Two months later, she tried again. Despite the same dense fog, she swam with her faith intact(未受影响的)and her goal clearly pictured in her mind. She knew that somewhere behind that fog was land and this time she made it!

Mr. Fitzpatrick has given much attention to his “Weight reduction” (减轻体重) programs. Just last year, for example, when he was the main speaker at the company dinner, he said he put on twenty pounds instead of losing thirty he promised he would.
The year before that, he joined a health club. He exercised every day and ate less food. At the end of three months, however, he began making excuses about why he couldn’t go there more often.
After the health club failed to work, he joined Weight Watchers but stopped going because he was the only man there. And he hated following any of the diet programs. Fitz’s latest idea is to join a walking club to “walk off” the weight.
