I wasn"t interested in becoming a model at first. I worked as a receptionist in a beauty shop during high school. It was in South Dakota. A woman who had worked for Vogue-a famous fashion magazine said to me, "Why don"t you go to New York and be a model?"
So I went to New York at eighteen. I went to the first model agency, they thought that I was too
long-waisted. It was too bad since I came from South Dakota. I looked up in the telephone book. Hunting Hartford had just bought the agency. So I went there. I was in such a hurry that I couldn"t give my name to the receptionist. About half an hour later, the man who had just taken over the agency-he had been a male model before-came in. I was just staring at this unfamiliar man when he said, "You! Come into my office!"
How do you feel as a fashion model? Quite OK, I should say. But you stop thinking when you are
working. It takes a lot of nervous energy as well because the camera goes one, two, three very fast and
you have to move very fast. I like my job because it gives me freedom. I can have half a day off to do
things I like. I can"t do that if I do a normal job. I never like becoming a secretary. They have to sit in the
office for eight hours a day, facing the same people.
Most models, after one or two years, can"t be still very interested in it. But I like being a model.
Maybe I was a born one, as many people say.
1. Who inspired the author"s desire to become a model?
A. A woman customer in the beauty shop.
B. Hunting Hartford.
C. The author herself.
D. The author"s father.
2. Why didn"t the author return to South Dakota when she was first refused?
A. Because she had a strong desire to become a model.
B. Because South Dakota is far away from New York.
C. Because Hunting Hartford asked her not to go back.
D. Because she liked to be a receptionist at a beauty shop.
3. Which of the following is not true?
A. Hunting Hartford had an experience as a model.
B. Hunting Hartford thought the author might be a good model.
C. Hunting Hartford had always been a model agent.
D. Hunting Hartford accepted the author as a model.
4. Why did the author like being a model?
A. Because she liked the woman customer.
B. Because she liked the freedom.
C. Because she liked to have a regular work schedule.
D. Because she liked Hunting Hartford.
5. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Perseverance leads to your success.
B. Finding a job you like to do is important.
C. Both A and B.
D. Becoming a model is quite easy. | | 完形填空 | I used to love to watch my high school track team train - especially the long-distance runners. But that
year, my eyes were 1 to a girl whose running style was all wrong. She ran with her arms tucked(塞进)

down - and always wearing the same smile.
"That poor kid," I thought. "There was nothing to be 7 by finishing so far behind the pack. Why
didn"t she just 8 ?" Still, she never stopped, and her smile never changed.

Short and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. "Football, tennis, cricket-anything with a round ball. I was useless," he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the
object of jokes in school gym classes in England"s rural Devonshire.
It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest, then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his
mind on building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first
marathon.
The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat
across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway"s School of Adventure in
Scotland, where he learned about the old man"s cold-water exploits(成就). Intrigued, Saunders read all
he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future.
Journeys to the Pole aren"t the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people dismissed his
dream as fantasy. "John Ridgway was one of the few who didn"t say "You"re completely crazy," Saunders
says.
In 2001, after becoming a skilled skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition toward the
North Pole. He suffered frostbite, had a close encounter with a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit.
Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he"s skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe the transformation.
This October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, a 1,800-mile journey that has never been completed on skis.
1. The turning point in Saunders" life came when _________.
A. he started to play ball games
B. he got a mountain bike at age 15
C. he ran his first marathon at age 18
D. he started to receive Ridgeway"s training
2. We can learn from the text that Ridgway _________.
A. dismissed Saunders" dream as fantasy
B. built up his body together with Saunders
C. hired Saunders for his cold-water experience
D. won his first fame for his voyage across the Atlantic
3. What do we know about Saunders?
A. He once worked at a school in Scotland.
B. He followed Ridgway to explore the North Pole.
C. He was chosen for the school sports team as a kid.
D. He was the first Briton to ski alone to the North Pole.
4. The underlined word "Intrigued" in the third paragraph probably means "_________".
A. Excited
B. Convinced
C. Delighted
D. Fascinated
5. It can be inferred that Saunders" journey to the North Pole _________.
A. was accompanied by his old playmates
B. set a record in the North Pole expedition
C. was supported by other Arctic explorers
D. made him well-known in the 1960s | | 完形填空 |

D. world | | 阅读理解 | Where we live, on the eastern shore of Maryland, the gentle waters run in and out like fingers slimming at the tips.
The Canada geese know this place, as do the white swans and the ducks.In autumn, they come home
for the winter.Once or twice each year, snow and frozen rain move into the area.When this happens, if the river is at its narrowest, there is a freeze which hardens the water to ice.
One morning, a friend of mine set the breakfast table beside the huge window, which overlooked the
Tred Avon River.Suddenly she leaned forward and cried out, "There is a goose out there."
We saw the figure of a large Canada goose, very still, its wings folded tight to its sides, its feet frozen
into the ice.
Then from the dark skies, she saw a line of swans.They floated from the top of the sky downward
and at last landed on the ice.My friend was on her feet now, with one hand against her mouth, unbelieving.As the swans surrounded the frozen goose, she feared that life it still had might be pecked(啄) out by
those great swan bills.
Instead, those bills began to work on the ice.The long necks were lifted and curved down, again and
again.It went on for a long time.At last, the goose"s head was lifted.Its body was pulled.Then the goose
was free and stood on the ice.And the swans stood in the air watching.Then, as if it had cried, "I cannot
fly."Four of the swans came down around it.Their powerful beaks chipped off the ice held in the feathers.
Slowly, the goose spread its wings as far as they would go, and moved slowly into the sky.
This is a true story.I just think of it in the bad moment, and from it comes only one hopeful question:If
so for birds, why not for man?
1. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. Why Not for Man?
B. Graceful Swans
C. Swans" Brave Act
D. I Just Couldn"t Believe It!
2. What happened to the Canada goose?
A. It was deserted by other geese.
B. It was stuck in the ice.
C. It was wounded and couldn"t fly.
D. It was lost in the water.
3. At first the author"s friend was worried that________.
A. the swans would not help the Canada goose
B. she didn"t care about this matter any more
C. the swans wouldn"t identify with the Canada goose
D. the swans would peck the Canada goose to death
4. What did the swans do when they saw the Canada goose couldn"t fly?
