books and staring out the window, when it suddenly hit her: "I"m in total   5 . I don"t want to be a vet!"
  6 she thought back over all the things she"d done in her life and what had made her happy. And then
it hit her-it was all of the youth leadership conferences that she had volunteered   7 , and the
communications and leadership courses she had taken as elective courses back at Ohio State. "How
could I have been so   8 ? Here I am in my fourth year at school and just finally realizing I"m on the   9
path. I just never took the time to  10   it until now, " she thought.

举一反三

阅读理解。     In Africa, listening is a guiding principle. It"s a principle that"s been lost in the constant chat of the
Western world. From my own past experience, I noticed how much faster I had to answer a question
during a TV interview. It"s as if we have completely lost the ability to listen. We talk and talk, and we
end up frightened by silence.
     Everywhere, people on the African continent write and tell stories. Even the nomads (流浪者) who
still live in the Kalahari Desert are said to tell one another stories on their daylong wanderings, during
which they search for roots and animals to hunt.
     A number of years ago I sat down on a stone bench outside the Teatro Avenida in Maputo,
Mozambique, where I worked as an artistic consultant. It was a hot day, and we were taking a break,
hoping that a cool gentle wind would move past. Two old African men were sitting on that bench, but
there was room for me, too. In Africa people share more than just water. Even when it comes to shade,
people are generous.
     I heard the two men talking about a third old man who had recently died. One of them said, "I was
visiting him at his home. He started to tell me an amazing story about something that had happened to
him when he was young. But it was a long story. Night came, and I decided that I should come back the
next day to hear the rest. But when I arrived, he was dead."
     The man fell silent. I decided not to leave that bench until I heard how the other man would respond
to what he"d heard. Finally he, too, spoke. "That"s not a good way to die-before you"ve told the end of
your story."
     What separates us from animals is the fact that we are storytelling creatures and we can listen to other
people"s dreams, fears, joys, sorrows, desires and defeats-and they in turn can listen to ours.
     Many people make the mistake of confusing information with knowledge. They are not the same thing. Knowledge involves the interpretation of information. Knowledge involves listening.
     Many words will be written on the wind and the sand, or end up in store. But the storytelling will go
on until the last human being stops listening. Then we can send the great record of human out into the
endless universe.
     Who knows? Maybe someone is out there, willing to listen…1. From the very beginning of the passage, we can know Europeans ________.A. actually lose the ability to listen
B. seldom chat constantly with each other
C. feel frightened when they are alone and silent
D. tend to talk more and listen less2. It can be inferred from the passage that if you are in Africa, you will _______. A. suffer hot weather and lack of water
B. be certainly helped when in trouble
C. often hear the stories told by strangers
D. have no choice but to listen during a talk3. According to the last three paragraphs, we can know _________.A. no one knows exactly why Africans are willing to listen
B. information is hard to understand without interpretation
C. listening makes the difference between information and knowledge
D. the existence of humans" recordings totally depends on the way of storytelling4. The passage mainly talks about __________.A. the experience of the author
B. the art of listening in Africa
C. the importance of storytelling
D. the life styles of Africans

阅读理解。     Violent winds swept the ocean, and waves thundered to shore, shaking the lookout tower at Pea
Island Rescue Station. Surfman Theodore Meekins was on watch that evening of 11 October 1896.
A hurricane had struck the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and the tide was so strong that beach
patrols (巡逻) had been canceled. Still, Meekins paid close attention to the horizon. This was the type of
weather that could blow ships hundreds of miles off course.
     Offshore, the ship E.S. Newman was caught in the storm. The captain, whose wife and child were on
the ship, feared the Newman would soon break up. He made the decision to beach his ship, then fired a
signal, praying that someone onshore would see it.
     Meekins, whose eyes were trained to cut through rain and surf mists, thought he saw the signal, but
so much spray (水雾) covered the lookout windows that he could hardly make sure. Still, he took no
chances. After summoning (召集) the station keeper, Captain Richard Etheridge, Meekins set off a
coston signal, a signal made by using lamps of different colors. Together, the two men searched the
darkness for a reply. A few moments later, they saw a flash of light to the south and knew a shop was in
distress. Even before the return signal burned out, Etheridge had summoned his men and begun rescue
operations.
     For the lifesavers, the rescue of the Newman was nothing unusual. Over the years, so many ships had
foundered off the Outer Banks that sailors called the region the Graveyard of the Atlantic. Noting the
dangerous surf and wind conditions, Captain Etheridge quickly decided the surf boats would be
impossible to control. Instead, he decided to use another way to help the survivors.
     The crew set off on the long journey down the beach to the scene of the wreck (海滩). Captain
Etheridge hoped to fire a line from a gun to the ship"s mast(船桅). After the ship"s crew dragged the line
onboard, the surfmen would fire a second line and carry survivors safely to shore.
     The surfmen crossed three miles of sand to reach the ship Newman. The water was freezing, and the
men often sank up to their knees in sand. Captain Etheridge noted in his diary that "the voice of
gladdened hearts greeted the arrival of the station crew," but that "it seemed impossible for them to do
anything under such circumstances. The work was often stopped by the sweeping current."
     Even when the rescue equipment proved useless, Etheridge refused to give up. Choosing two of his
strongest surfmen, he tied rope lines around their waists and sent them into the water. The two men,
holding a line from shore, walked with huge effort as far as they could before diving through the waves.
Nearly worn out while swimming against the tide, they finally made it to the shop.
     The first to be rescued were the captain"s wife and child. With the two passengers tied to their backs,
the surfmen fought their way back to shore. Taking turns, Etheridge and his crew made ten trips to the Newman, saving every person onboard. It was 1:00 a.m. when the crew and survivors finally made it back to the station.
     That night, as the exhausted survivors lay sleeping and his lifesaving crew rested, Captain Etheridge
picked up his pen, and in the light of an oil lantern, wrote with satisfaction that all the people onboard had
been saved and were "sheltered in this station"-words he would remember for many years to come.1. The beach patrols were canceled because ________.A. Meekins paid enough attention to the horizon
B. there was too much spray on the windows
C. the winds and tide were too strong
D. there was no ship near the station2. The underlined word "foundered" in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to "___________".A. stopped
B. sank
C. sailed
D. arrived3. What was the author"s main purpose in writing the passage?A. To warn sailors of the dangers of hurricanes.
B. To create a story describing a rescue at sea.
C. To inform people about Richard Etheridge.
D. To record the details about the Newman.4. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The newman was very dangerous before Richard Etheridge and his team members saw the signal.
B. A terrible hurricane took place off the coast of North Carolina and thereatened the lives of many sailors.
C. At no other time in American history have so many shipwrecked passengers survived such a violent
     storm.
D. All the passengers of a shipwreck were rescued because of heroic the efforts of a special leader and
    his crew.

strongly.
     On a rainy day a meteorologist (气象学家) I met was very   3 at my great anger caused by rain that
made a little inconvenience for me.
     He asked, "Have you ever seen typhoon? Do you know what would happen to the world if there
were no typhoon?" I shook my head. I had no   4 of how overwhelming it was when it   5 everything

     "Well, let me tell you," the meteorologist said. "Without it the   6 of fresh water will be more serious,

something a thousand times more   13 than wind or rain-was a   14 to the existence of mankind.
15  no road on earth goes all the way on level ground, there"s no person in the world who can do
whatever he pleases.   16 as it is for people to guard against typhoon, it is advisable for a man to stop
17 for a moment before he complains. "   18   disappeared all together? What would the world become

     Last year, I was waiting at the traffic lights on my way to work   1   my car was hit from behind.

阅读理解。     Famous centenarians (百岁老人) still active in arts, science are in no mood to retire. "Those who
stand still, die," is one of Oliveira"s favorite phrases. He knows from experience what it means, as the
Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his profession. Every year,
Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next project. "You have to work, work, work in
order to forget that death is not far away," he said. When asked about his age, Oliveira said with some
humility: "It"s down to mother nature. It gave to me what it took from others."
     Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to
do with character. Not every white-haired person is wise and social skills, openness and the ability to
train the brain are essential for senior citizens.
     Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer (103), Nobel laureate Montalcini (101) and director Kurt
Maetzig (100), Oliveira is one of those people of whom it would be very wrong to think as members of
a listless elderly generation.
     Another master in his profession is the architect Oscar Niemeyer. The 103-year-old Brazilian is best
known for his futuristic-looking (未来派的) buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the
poor. "The role of the architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of
architecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few," said Niemeyer recently. He spends
almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on
ideas: After a gallbladder (胆囊) operation he composed a samba tune (桑巴舞曲) in the clinic.
     Another man who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old Heesters. The Dutch-born opera
singer spent most of his life performing in Germany, where he still works. Recently Heesters said: "I want
to be at least 108-years-old." He also plans to keep performing. "Should I just sit at home and wait
until they come and pick me up?" Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally of awards and is
looking for a "good stage role".
     Italian scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini, who is 101-year-old and is still active in medical science, has
described the force that keeps driving her on: "Progress is created through imperfection." In 1986 she
and her lab colleague were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve growth factor. She"s convinced that humans grow on challenges.
     With so many brilliant examples given, we can see clearly that age is no barrier to some high achievers. 1. From the first two paragraphs, we can see ________. A. being active at 102 is achievable for everybody
B. Oliveira owes his long life to his mother"s help
C. being fit in old age is a matter of luck and character
D. social skills and wisdom are difficult for the senior2. How many centenarians are mentioned in this passage? A. 4
B. 5
C. 6
D. 73. By saying "Should I just sit at home and wait until they come and pick me up?", Heesters
    means that he ________. A. is willing to work till he dies
B. is waiting for people to pick him up
C. wants to sit or lie in comfort
D. prefers to give performance at home4. The best title for this passage may be "________". A. The Older, the Wiser You"ll Be
B. Progress, Created Through Imperfection
C. How to Live to Be a Centenarian
D. Age, No Barrier to Some High Achievers
