I had an interesting experience playing ping-pong last year. I was playing against a 1 opponent (对手).
The score was 20 to 17 in her 2 . I won the next three points which made the score 20 to 20. I 3 my
paddle on the table and thanked my opponent and began to walk away. She called me 4 and said we had
to continue until one of us 5 .
"Look," I said, "if we 6 , one of two events will take place, either you or I will win. If you win, I will
begin to 7 my skill. If I win, you will be unhappy. Isn"t it better to know that we both played 8 , that we
enjoyed the competition, and that we played an even (相等) score?" This was a 9 ending for my opponent
and for the persons watching this contest. It made 10 to me to leave with a tie (不分胜负) game, an impasse
(僵局): no winner, no 11 .
So, my friends, here is the problem 12 me. Our present technology makes it possible for nations to 13
other nations for retaliatory (报复) strikes. In such a nuclear time, there 14 be no winners, only losers. Under
these conditions, the only choice to 15 global destruction is global impasse. This would be a 16 "tie game"
where no nation wins and no nation loses. An impasse reached through compromise (妥协). This is because
compromise becomes the only means of 17 . We cannot destroy this beautiful planet by holding on to 18
understanding of victory. The 19 victory is in achieving a desirable impasse. No one wins, 20 no one loses
either. |

| 阅读理解。 | I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was in the eighth
grade at the time, and we were having a final test. During the test, the girl sitting next to me whispered
something, but I didn"t understand. So I leaned over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me if I
had an extra pen. She showed me that hers was out of ink and would not write. I happened to have an extra
one, so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk.
Later, after the test papers had been turned in, the teacher asked me to stay in the room when all the other
students were dismissed (解散). As soon as we were alone she began to talk to me about what it meant to
grow up; she talked about how important it was to stand on your own two feet and be responsible for your
own acts. For a long time, she talked about honesty and emphasized the fact that when people do something
dishonest, they are really cheating themselves. She made me promise that I would think seriously about all the
things she had said, and then she told me I could leave. I walked out of the room wondering why she had
chosen to talk to me about all those things.
Later on, I found out that she thought I had cheated in the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the
girl next to me, it looked as if I was copying answers from the girl"s test paper. I tried to explain about the pen,
but all she could say was it seemed very strange to her that I hadn"t talked of anything about the pen the day
she talked to me right after the test. Even if I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor by letting her
use my pen, I am sure she continued to believe that I had cheated in the test. | | 1. The girl wanted to borrow a pen, because _____. | | [ ] | A. she had not brought a pen with her
B. she had lost her own on her way to school

C. only some time later
D. when he was walking out of the room | | 阅读理解。 | In 1909 an English newspaper offered ￡1,000 to the first man to fly across the English Channel in an
aeroplane. Today, modern jets cross it in minutes. But at that time it still seemed a good distance. The race
to win the money soon became a race between two men. Both were very colourful.
One was Louis Bleriot. He owned a factory in France that made motor car lamps. He was already well
known as a pilot because he had had accidents several times. Some people laughed at him. One man said,
"He may not be the first to fly across the Channel but he will certainly be the first to die in an accident!"
But Bleriot was really a good and brave pilot. He also had many good ideas about aeroplane design.
The other man was Hubert Latham. He was half French and half English. He took up flying when his
doctors told him he had only a year to live. "Oh, well," he said, "if I" m going to die soon, I think I shall
have a dangerous and interesting life now." Latham was the first to try the flight across the Channel. Ten
kilometres from the French coast, his plane had some trouble. It fell down into the water and began to sink
under the water. A boat reached Latham just in time. He was sitting calmly on the wing and was coolly
lighting a cigarette. Bleriot took off six days later. He flew into some very bad weather and very low cloud.
He somehow got to the English side and landed in a farmer"s field. When he did so, a customs (海关) officer
rushed up to his plane. Planes have changed since then, but customs officers have not. "Have you anything
to declare (报关)?" The officer demanded. | | 1. Bleriot was well known as a pilot because _____. | | [ ] | A. he was unusually brave

B. He wanted to be the first one to cross the Channel.
C. He knew he only had a year to live.

B. He was told he could live another year.
C. His plane had some trouble.
D. He was saved by a boat when his plane was sinking. | | 完形填空。 | There was once a man named Goldsmith. He had a 1 heart. He was always 2 to help others and to

teenagers, Vicky Gray and Tom Hunter, and their guide, Gavin Jones. The police said that they had disappeared
during an adventure (冒险) tour of Cape York Peninsula.
This was the second day of the search and the police were now very worried about the safety of the three
missing people.
The police said that the search had covered a wide area, but the rainforest was thick and their work was
made harder by the recent rain. Later on Chief Inspector (警官) Roger Fleet said, "The travellers had a radio
with them. If they had been in trouble, they would have called us."
The three travellers left Cooktown very early on Saturday morning in a Toyota car. They took a small dirt
road that runs down to the Daintree River, a dangerous river full of crocodiles (鳄鱼). Chief Inspector Roger
Fleet said the tourists wouldn"t have got into trouble if they had stayed on the main road.
A photo of Vicky and Tom was found by a policeman under the"Be Careful about crocodiles" sign near the
river. Why was the photo left behind? This is just one of the unanswered questions. Other questions are: Why
was the photo left behind? Why was the Toyota parked and locked at the edge of the rainforest? The police
said that the travellers had left a map of the area behind. Why? Why had someone drawn a cross on the point
(地点) where the car is? Is this a sign? What does it mean? If anyone can give information or has seen these
three young people, contact the local police in Cooktown. | | 1. This article is probably taken from _____. | | [ ] | A. a newspaper
B. a magazine
C. a storybook
D. a guidebook | | 2. All the following are unanswered questions except _____. | | [ ] | A. why they left a photo behind
B. why they came to this area
C. why their Toyota was parked in the place
D. why a cross was drawn on the map | | 3. The article asks people to _____. | | [ ] | A. search for the missing people
B. tell the police where the missing people hide
C. learn the lesson and stop taking adventure tours
D. provide information about the missing people | | 完形填空。 | "Father, I don"t like to go to school," said Harry Williams one morning. "I wish you 1 let me stay at home.
